Song Yi

Chapter 630
Du Wenhao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, I know you're shy, so it's not hard for you, but it's okay, I'll go there tonight."

Wang Runxue nodded shyly, then turned and hurried away.

Du Wenhao shook his head helplessly, and when he turned around, he was startled when he saw a person standing in front of him. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Meier.

But Du Wenhao didn't recognize it at the beginning, Meier's dress today is completely different from before, she is no different from a dignified woman from a good family, she doesn't even have any makeup on her face, she just put on some lipstick lightly, and she looks very delicate .

Meier smiled and said, "I didn't mean to see it, I was passing by."

Du Wenhao said: "It doesn't matter if you see it, and it has nothing to do with your wife."

Mei'er saw that Du Wenhao was leaving, so she followed along and said, "How is Master Du's business recently?"

Du Wenhao said: "It's okay, how about you, I heard that your Meierjiao's business is very prosperous."

Mei'er smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's not enough to make ends meet, I'm ashamed to speak."

Du Wenhao didn't say anything, the two walked to the front yard, Mei'er said: "I heard that Yang Rui is against you everywhere, you have to be careful of such a villain."

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Miss."

Mei'er said: "When I went shopping on the street today, I heard people on the street say that Yang Rui's business is not as good as it used to be, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot all day long. You are happy."

Meier originally wanted to say that she was very happy for Master Du, but later changed it to you, which she felt was closer.

Du Wenhao said: "Thank you."

Meier smiled charmingly, and said: "What are you talking about, if it weren't for you, Meier would have died long ago."

Du Wenhao smiled, and at this moment Pang Yuqin came over, seeing Meier beside her, hesitant to speak.

Meier saw the clue and left.

Pang Yuqin said: "Master, the magistrate has arrived and is sitting in the hall."

Du Wenhao frowned, and said in a low voice: "Have we invited Meier and the others?"

Pang Yuqin said: "'Meierjiao' invited Meier alone, because I called Zhuang Jimou's family, I was afraid that Meier would think too much if she found out in the future, and besides, we came together after all, so..."

Du Wenhao said: "Well, is Mr. Yang here?"

Pang Yuqin said: "The congratulatory gifts have been sent long ago, but I heard that Yang Rui is ill, so Mr. Yang can't come."

Du Wenhao snorted, and said: "Then remember to pack some red eggs and some soft food. When the table is over, I will deliver it in person."

Pang Yuqin said, "Understood."

Yang House.

Yang Qianhu paced anxiously in the room, and Yang Rui on the bed finally couldn't help but said loudly: "Can you not leave, I am not dead yet, if you walk around, I will faint died."

Yang Qianhu pointed at Yang Rui angrily, and said, "Why are you so fierce in front of me now? Do you have the ability to find a woman to be fierce?"

After hearing this, Yang Rui was at a loss for words.

Shopkeeper Wang at the side said cautiously: "Old man, don't worry, there is no need to rush this kind of thing."

Yang Qianhu said unhappily: "You are not in a hurry, because you don't need to be in a hurry at your age, but Rui'er is different, she is only in her thirties, why... what are you doctors doing?" For food, the Yang family is supporting you, and now that your Young Master's family has become like this, you have all become shrinking turtles, you...you are really mad at me."

Shopkeeper Wang said shamelessly: "As the saying goes, a doctor can't heal himself, so..."

"Bah!" Yang Qianhu spat in shopkeeper Wang's face, and shopkeeper Wang quickly lowered his head and dared not speak.

"What do you call a doctor without self-medication? You think I'm confused. It refers to seeing a doctor for myself or my family. Who is Rui'er? Is it your family? Bah, you really don't see anyone else." gone."

"Grandpa, don't get angry, we are also trying to find a way." Shopkeeper Wang said.

"What do you think? It's been such a long time, what kind of medicine have you guys haven't tried? If it works, will Rui'er get more and more serious?"

"We have already ordered people to go to Yuanshan County to invite shopkeeper Jiang as soon as possible according to the order of Shaodong's family."

Yang Qianhu said angrily: "Are you pigs? Why do you want to look far away?"

Shopkeeper Wang was at a loss, and said: "You said Wang Miracle Doctor, let's forget it, who still seeks medical treatment from him now, since that Du Yunfan... old man, you wouldn't say it was that Du Yunfan, would you?" Only then did I realize who the old man was talking about.

As soon as Yang Rui heard what shopkeeper Wang said, he immediately sat up as if his butt was stung by a hornet: "Don't let him show it to me. I won't let him see a doctor even if I die. Then I, Yang Rui Do you want to gain a foothold in Xiushan County in the future? No, even if you kill him."

Yang Qianhu said angrily: "Okay, my Yang family has backbone, yes, you don't want to watch it, you just lie on the bed and watch your two balls change from red to purple and then black, and then Rotten!" After speaking, Yang Qianhu walked away angrily.

When Yang Qianhu returned home, Yang Guang said, "Old man, Mr. Du is here."

Yang Qianhu hurried to the hall and saw that Du Wenhao was really sitting there drinking tea, and there were still a bamboo basket and a food box on the table.

"Haha, I'm sorry, nephew, I've kept you waiting, isn't your son a hundred days today? Why are you still here to see me?"

Du Wenhao patted the food box and said: "I guess you should be hungry at this time, so I asked Zhuo Jing to prepare some red eggs and soft food for you to fill up your stomach." He took out a few delicate side dishes and put them on the table.

Yang Qianhu couldn't help feeling emotional, and said: "You said that Yang Rui is half as sensible as you, and I'm willing to close my eyes now."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Master, don't think so, why don't you try my chef's skills first?"

Yang Qianhu was already full of gas at Yang Rui's place before, and when he returned home, he felt hungry when he saw Du Wenhao. Seeing Du Wenhao handing over the chopsticks, he took it quickly, put a piece in his mouth, and said repeatedly: " Delicious, indeed delicious, how can such delicious food be served without wine? My nephew, can I have a drink with this old man?"

Du Wenhao laughed and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Yang Qianhu asked someone to bring wine glasses and wine, and the two chatted.

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Qianhu suddenly let out a long sigh.

Du Wenhao said: "Why is the old man sighing?"

Yang Qianhu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, it will make you sad."

Du Wenhao guessed that it was Yang Qianhu who sighed because of Yang Rui's illness, since it was inconvenient to tell him, and it was not easy to ask, so he said: "Then don't think about it anymore, once you get drunk, you will relieve your worries."

Yang Qianhu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, saying: "I'm afraid I won't be able to solve this worry after waking up."

Du Wenhao asked about the last time he asked Yang Qianhu to find out the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and the others. Yang Qianhu was a little ashamed and said that his subordinates were not effective and had not found out their whereabouts yet.Du Wenhao was a little sad. Thinking about it, this is a turmoil, transportation and communication are very backward, and information exchange is very blocked.It's not long, and it's normal not to be able to find out.

After chatting for a while, Du Wenhao said: "Old man, let's stop drinking. You should go back to your room to rest." After speaking, he called Yang Guang to help Yang Qianhu go back to his room to rest, and he was ready to go back.

Yang Qianhu stood up unsteadily, walked a few steps, turned to Du Wenhao and said, "If you can cure Rui'er's illness, I will give you half of the Yang family's property. Don't break your promise!"

Du Wenhao said: "Old man, you are drunk, you should hurry back to your room and rest, I will also take my leave."

Yang Qianhu said: "I'm drunk and understand. You should think about it carefully, and let me know when you think about it." After speaking, he hiccupped and let Yang Guang help him away.

Du Wenhao smiled and was about to leave when Yang Guang hurried over.

"The benefactor stays."

Du Wenhao said: "Send it so soon?"

Yang Guangdao: "I'm worried that you're gone, so someone else will send you there."

Du Wenhao said: "Why, is Si Niang feeling unwell again?"

Yang Guang said: "No, no, she can eat and sleep, very well."

Du Wenhao said: "What is that?"

Yang Guang pulled Du Wenhao to a secluded place and whispered, "Master, do you know what disease my young master is suffering from?"

Du Wenhao said: "I don't know."

Yang Guang said: "It's a man's disease."

In fact, Du Wenhao guessed it, otherwise Yang Qianhu would hesitate to speak.

Du Wenhao said: "How do you know?"

Yang Guangdao: "I also heard Yang Quan quietly tell me that the thing in Shaodong's house is not working well, and Mei'er who went to find Mei'erjiao today will not work, saying that the color of the two balls has changed. , it hurts when you touch it."

Du Wenhao said: "Oh, I see."

Yang Guang said: "Master, you heard my old man just now, but it is a good opportunity. I believe that your medical skills will be fine."

Du Wenhao smiled, patted Yang Guang on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, I should go back, you can go serve the old man too." After finishing speaking, he left.

Yang Guang said behind him: "Master, I advise you to think about it."

A few days later, a distinguished guest came to Wuweitang, He Zhao, the magistrate of Yuanshan County.

Du Wenhao took He Zhao to Yunfan Villa and prepared a banquet for him.

During the dinner, He Zhao exclaimed: "Mr. is really a great writer. He looks like someone who is doing big things. When I was in Wuweitang, I felt that Mr. Wuweitang is beyond the comparison of ordinary medicine shops. He was surprised. You have been here in Xiushan County for less than a year, and you have a house of this size. I didn’t agree, but I regretted it when I came, so I should let her take a look.”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "The pharmacy and the family are actually managed by a few disciples and grandchildren. I just sit in the hall and ask the doctor. I don't care about anything else. Before the adults come, I should say that I will let the servants go to greet me."

He Zhao laughed and said: "Sir, you are being polite. I said that I will come to see you in the next year, but it was delayed because of the many trivial matters in the county government. Apart from visiting Mr. He this time, he just had an idea. Sir, please go to the distant mountains with your family, after all, there is a gathering place of medicinal materials, and it is convenient for you to be there."

Du Wenhao didn't expect that He Zhao actually invited him here, so he was a little touched, and said, "My lord's kindness is in my heart, but I just settled down here, and the relatives and friends who came with me have just found a living, so... ...and please forgive me, my lord."

He Zhao said: "I think so, then you just need to remember, you can come anytime, and He is always welcome."

Du Wenhao raised his glass and said, "Come on, my lord, let's drink."

He Zhao drank the wine in his glass and said, "If you have something to do in Xiushan County, sir, just start. I have a good friendship with the county magistrate here."

Du Wenhao didn't mention the matter of seeing a doctor for Sun and his daughter, but just raised his glass to thank him.The two of them chatted so well during the dinner that it took more than an hour to eat a meal.

After dinner, Du Wenhao asked Wang Runxue to arrange a room for He Zhao to rest, while he read in the study.

Wang Runxue came over and said, "Master, you asked me to inquire about donating officials, and the result has already been obtained."

Du Wenhao asked Wang Runxue to sit down and speak slowly.

Wang Runxue said: "In the prefectural and county yamen, in addition to the officials appointed by Dali, there are also a large number of officials. In the prefectural level government, there are Kongmu officials, Goujian officials, Kaikai officials, and Yasi officials. Grain officials and so on. In the county yamen, there are escorts, recorders, hand-pointers, stickers, etc. The sources of officials are either recruited or dispatched, and most of them can be selected from some wealthy local families. Some officials are hereditary, inherited from father to son. There are many names of officials, and the main duties are to collect taxes and handle prison lawsuits.”

Du Wenhao said: "That's not too different from the Song Dynasty, that is, some idlers can be donated, as long as you give silver taels?"

Wang Runxue said: "This is the difference. They must be residents who have lived in Dali for at least two generations. Although they don't have any real jobs, they can't be given to people like us who just moved here."

Du Wenhao thought about it, he was just a whim, and he didn't know if Mr. Liu, whom Le Qi liked, was worth helping.

Wang Runxue said: "Isn't Mr. Xiang donating an official to himself, is it possible that he wants to help someone again?"

Du Wenhao told Wang Runxue about Le Qi.

Wang Runxue said: "I think it's best to discuss this matter with Ms. Sun."

Du Wenhao said: "It's always inconvenient for me to go, and Le Qi's illness has stabilized, if Sun He finds out about this, it would be bad, so I wanted to help this young lady in private , I just feel that she is different from Miss Dahu from other families, she is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, there is something admirable about her."

Wang Runxue nodded, and said, "It is expected that Mr. Liu came to help Mr. Liu out of this idea, but I think if we ask directly, we are afraid that others will be on guard and will not be able to tell the truth."

Du Wenhao said: "How long is the imperial examination in Dali?"

Wang Runxue said: "I asked, it was in September."

Du Wenhao said: "There is still time, so you may not be able to handle this matter alone, and you still have to take care of the family. Let's go to Qing Dai to discuss it."

Wang Runxue agreed, and the two went out, only to see Lin Qingdai and Murong Yulan coming towards the study.

Wang Runxue said with a smile: "I was going to look for Qingdai, but you came."

Lin Qingdai said: "Yulan and I also have something to ask Wen Hao."

Du Wenhao said: "Then come in and talk."

The four returned to the study and sat down to talk.

Murong Yulan handed Du Wenhao a prescription, which contained some folk remedies. Murong Yulan added some herbs and spices into it, and asked Du Wenhao to look over it to see if there were any medicinal materials that were similar to the [-] evils or incompatible. Then it can be brewed.

After Du Wenhao looked at it carefully, he deleted some flowers and plants, and then suggested that Murong Yulan use other herbs instead, which Murong Yulan took note of.

Du Wenhao said: "I just remembered, didn't Yulan make medicinal wine for the old lady of the Sun family? Why don't you take this opportunity to go to the county government office and say to see the effect of the old lady's medicine, then Xue'er you Ask Yingzi to prepare some appetizing snacks for Le Qi, and tell Le Qi that I asked to bring them, and appetizing and invigorating the spleen are good for the body."

Wang Runxue was a little afraid that she didn't talk much on weekdays, seeing that Murong Yulan, who could only concentrate on doing things, couldn't bring Du Wenhao's meaning to Le Qi, but Du Wenhao had already said it, so she said it herself, lest Murong Yulan would be overwhelmed, so she had to keep quiet .

Lin Qingdai said: "Then what can you do with me?"

Du Wenhao said: "I originally asked you to go to Sun's house."

Wang Runxue said: "Sister, do you think it's okay? Someone should go to Mr. Liu, but Lin Qingdai has a straightforward personality and a lot of experience. We don't know much about this Mr. Liu. If he is a calculating person, Instead, anyone in the Sun family can go, because Qingdai also learned medical skills from you, and Yulan is easy-going and easy-going, so it is not easy for people to be wary, why don't you let Yulan go to Mr. Liu?"

Murong Yulan was terrified, and said hastily: "Mr. What, I'm not going to find Mr. What."

Du Wenhao laughed, and said, "This Mr. Liu can't let Yulan look for him, it's not suitable."

Lin Qingdai didn't know what they were hesitating about, so she said, "I don't know what you are talking about either. It's okay if this gentleman is an old man. If it's a young man, it's really inappropriate for Yulan to go."

Murong Yulan said: "That's right, let me go find Mrs. Sun, I like old ladies."

Seeing that Murong Yulan was so frightened that she even said that she liked the old lady, Du Wenhao laughed and said, "That's all, that's all, then, I'll go with Yulan."

Wang Runxue was puzzled, and said, "Why do you have to bring a woman?"

Lin Qingdai said: "Wen Hao probably wants to see if this so-called gentleman has an upright character besides being well-versed in poetry and books?"

Wang Runxue said: "Hey, look at me, I am confused on this crucial issue, that's fine, let Xianggong and Yulan go together."

Murong Yulan took a sneak look at Du Wenhao, and said in a low voice: "Can I not go? I don't have the kindness of the first lady, nor the beauty of the second lady, nor the skill and resourcefulness of Sister Qingdai, nor the six-year-old lady." Madame's cleverness, I..."

Wang Runxue said: "And your innocence and calmness are something we don't have."

Du Wenhao said: "What Xue'er said is that you never feel that you are inferior to anyone. In fact, everyone has their own advantages. You see, when you make medicinal wine, they are not as good as you, right?"

Murong Yulan was a little shy, lowered her head, and said: "Then... that's fine, but don't ask me to do anything, I'll just stand by the master's side."

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Sometimes you don't have to do anything, it's better than doing everything."

Murong Yulan looked at Lin Qingdai blankly.

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, Qingdai, then you go to Sun's house, and I'll tell you what you need to say when you see Miss Le Qi later, besides, Ke Yao is inconvenient now, Fei'er is reckless, Lian'er is similar to Yulan, so ask Liu The husband's work, rest and residence depend on you."

Lin Qingdai said: "Who is this Mr. Liu?"

Wang Runxue said: "Let my husband tell you one by one later, now I will prepare the things you brought to Sun's house, and find a set of clothes for Yulan by the way."

Murong Yulan looked at herself and said, "I'm in pretty good shape."

Wang Runxue said: "It's pretty good, but it's not enough to stand aside and not speak to achieve the effect we want."

Murong Yulan shook her head helplessly, smiled wryly, and said, "Second Madam is demanding."

Wang Runxue said: "Let's go, go with me, I should have it there." After speaking, he took Murong Yulan and left first.

Only Lin Qingdai and Du Wenhao were left, so Du Wenhao pulled Lin Qingdai to sit beside him, and told Lin Qingdai of his and Wang Runxue's plans.

After hearing this, Lin Qingdai said: "It turns out that this is the case. This is very necessary. Although I have never met Miss Sun's family, I heard from the second lady that she is not an arrogant and domineering person. From what you have said, I think if you can It's good to help her, but there is one more thing, don't we have to figure it out?"

Du Wenhao said: "Are you talking about the son of the family that Le Qi is engaged to marry?"

Lin Qingdai nodded.

Du Wenhao said: "I heard that it is farther than Yuanshan County, and he is also a son of the magistrate, and I don't know what his name is."

Lin Qingdai said: "Don't worry, I'll come out from the side of the Sun's house today, and I don't need to ask Miss Sun's directly."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "It doesn't take much effort to just talk to you, because only you know what I'm thinking."

Lin Qingdai smiled and said, "Don't coax me."

Du Wenhao hugged Lin Qingdai in his arms and said, "How can I coax you?"

The two warmed up in the study for a while, thinking that Wang Runxue was almost ready, so the two went out the door.

After sending Lin Qingdai away, someone came to report that Mr. He Zhaohe was looking for him, so Du Wenhao went to the upper room.

"My lord, how are you resting?" Du Wenhao walked into the room, and the maid had already waited on He Zhao to get dressed.

He Zhao nodded with a smile, and said, "I want to take you to meet someone tomorrow."

Du Wenhao said: "Who is it?"

He Zhao said: "You will know when you see it."

Du Wenhao said: "Okay, if you don't tell me, then I won't ask. Now that my lord has rested, why don't I go out with my lord?"

He Zhao said: "No, I know this Xiushan County much better than you. I'm going out now, and I probably won't be back at night. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Du Wenhao didn't want to ask more questions, so he nodded in agreement.

Sun House.

After being nursed by Du Wenhao for a period of time, Le Qi's face gradually became rosy, Jian Jian's eyes gleamed with the most firm brilliance, resolute determination, her slender catkins put on the gorgeous brocade piano, soft and soft again He plucked the strings, and the pleasant melody began to come out of the garden again.

Suddenly, a zither string snapped and cut through the spring onion-like jade finger, and bright red blood droplets immediately came out.

"How is it, does it hurt?" Someone suddenly asked behind him.

Le Qi turned around, only to see a beautiful woman walking forward with a medicine box.

"Who are you?" Le Qi asked in surprise.

The servant girl who followed the woman said, "This is Mr. Du's fifth wife, who came here to deliver medicine to the old lady and miss."

After hearing this, Le Qi quickly stood up and gave up her seat.

Lin Qingdai looked at Le Qi's hands, took some hemostatic powder from the medicine box, and sprinkled it on the wound lightly, then wrapped the wound with a clean cloth, and said: "The wound is not tight, the miss is probably distracted. "

Le Qi was a little embarrassed, and retreated from the servants and maids, saying: "The last time I saw the second lady, I thought it was a sign of good health. When I see you again today, madam, I feel that Mr. Du is really a blessed person. Each lady is more beautiful than the other."

Lin Qingdai put the medicine box on the stone table, and said, "Miss has won the prize, how can I compare with the second lady."

Le Qi smiled and said: "Each has its own beauty, madam, you are also very beautiful, by the way, what's wrong with my grandma? I haven't dared to go out of this courtyard recently. It was my husband who told me before that I didn't go to greet grandma , how is her old man?"

Lin Qingdai said: "It's an old problem from the past, rheumatism. It doesn't matter, I gave the old lady some rice wine made by us. She quite likes to drink it. After drinking it for a while, the rheumatism is much better."

Le Qi said: "Sir, you are really capable. This is the first time I've heard that rice wine can also cure diseases."

Lin Qingdai said: "There are also some pumpkins and other flowers and plants in it. It tastes delicious and sweet, so I am willing to drink it."

Le Qi said: "Madam is here to deliver medicine to me?"

Lin Qingdai took some snacks from the medicine box, and said: "Actually, it's not medicine, just some appetizing snacks. The master was worried that you would have no appetite to eat with bowls of medicines every day, so he asked me to take some of these Come here, if you like it, I will give it to you later."

Le Qi said: "Mr. is still thoughtful. Le Qi thanked Madam and Mr. here."

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Qingdai said in a low voice, "Master asked me to give Miss a message."

Seeing Lin Qingdai's appearance, Le Qi instinctively thought of something to do with Mr. Liu, her heart tightened, she leaned closer and said, "Madam, please tell me."

Lin Qingdai said: "Master said, he asked, if he donates to Mr. Liu, he should be able to participate in this year's imperial examination, but..."

Le Qi said excitedly: "Is it really possible? Just what?"

Lin Qingdai said: "It's just that this matter is related to Miss's lifelong happiness. The master wants to ask, do you really understand Mr. Liu's character, are you willing to make such a big sacrifice? Moreover, Mr. Liu knows Miss's intentions ?"

Le Qi nodded firmly, and said: "I believe in Mr. Liu's character, and he also knows my intentions, but how much money is needed to donate an official, and the discipline at home is very strict on weekdays, where can I find so much money? "

Lin Qingdai said: "You don't have to worry about this. Your father gave more than ten times the consultation fee, which is more than enough to donate. Our master said that since the lady believes in us, we will try our best to help you, but this matter has not yet been resolved." Don't be in a hurry, and don't let your family see the slightest clue."

Le Qi nodded: "I listened to Mr., but I didn't expect that Mr. would consider Le Qi so much. Le Qi will definitely not let her down."

Lin Qingdai said: "Okay, I should go now, you should take good care of your illness, let's find a way with Mr. Liu."

Le Qi said: "Madam, Mr. Liu's name is Liu Zixu, he lives in the east of the city, and now he is teaching the son of a member named Li."

Lin Qingdai said: "How did you know?"

Le Qi smiled shyly, but said nothing.

Lin Qingdai said: "Okay, I understand." She got up to say goodbye, and left with the medicine box.

The Li family in the east of the city.

A man in his 20s came out wearing thin clothes, shivering in the cold of the twelfth lunar month.

"Mr. Liu, go slowly." The porter said politely.

The man bowed and nodded, covered his mouth and coughed twice, then walked forward with his head down.

"Is it Mr. Liu?"

The man heard someone calling himself behind him, turned his head, and saw a man and a woman standing in front of a carriage.

"Xiaosheng is, may I ask if you are..."

"Du Yunfan in Wuweitang, this is my younger sister Yulan."

Liu Zixu had heard that a new genius doctor had come to Xiushan County and opened a Wuweitang medicine shop. He didn't think it was the young man in front of him, who seemed to be about the same age as himself.He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "So it's Mr. Du from Wuweitang. I've admired him for a long time. I don't know what Mr. Du wants from me?"

"Could you get in the car, sir, so we can find a place to talk?"

Liu Zixu hesitated for a moment, nodded and followed Du Wenhao and Murong Yulan into the car.

After getting into the car, there are soft mattresses and a few futons for sitting in the big car.Du Wenhao sat casually in the corner, Murong Yulan sat beside him, Liu Zixu saw that the remaining futon was too close to Murong Yulan, hesitated for a moment, took the futon to the side of the curtain, and sat down with his body curled up, separated from Murong Yulan. a great distance.

Du Wenhao said: "That's right. I also heard that Mr. Liu has a great literary talent, so I want to ask him to teach my sister some things. I wonder if Mr. Liu is free?"

Liu Zixu cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry, I might disappoint Mr. Du, I never teach female students."

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Then the magistrate's daughter is not a woman?"

The corner of Liu Zixu's mouth twitched, and he said, "After teaching Miss Le Qi, I swear I will never teach female students again."

Du Wenhao said: "Why is this? Is it because the woman is dull or squeamish?"

Liu Zixu said: "Neither, sir, please don't ask again."

Murong Yulan said: "I admire sir's literary talent, and I wholeheartedly want to learn from him. Sir, you can't just revert to me just because you taught a female student before, no matter what the reason is. Then I should really underestimate you."

Du Wenhao didn't expect Murong Yulan to say that, he really thought she was just sitting on the side as a prop.

Liu Zixu didn't look at Murong Yulan either, and only said to Du Wenhao who was opposite: "I'm not talented, I'd better ask Mr. Du and Ms. Du to find someone else."
