moment.

The ghost followed the boy.

The boy held the lantern and looked back from time to time.

＊

The study room of the Imperial Master's residence.

Shen Tang followed the rules of business etiquette set by the imperial master and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

The evening sky outside the window is dim, and the candlelight inside the window is clear.

"Again, remember, come and learn every three days when you are ugly."

Shang Li raised his eyes slightly, his beautiful narrow eyes looking down at the small box in his hand.

Five delicate slender fingers with joints like jade opened the small box.

A hosta is revealed in the box, resembling the petals of a crabapple.

The peach-blossom eyes of the young national master were filled with obvious joy.

The Begonia Hosta looks exactly like the one carved by Master.

Think about this.

Imperial Master Shang Li hurriedly left the study and met alone with the person who had been invited in advance. The person identified whether the jade hosta and the one Shang Li wore on his head were made by the same person.

Shen Tang looked through the teaching books that Shang Li had just left.

The little girl with long eyelashes slightly lowered and fair-skinned black hair stared at the book for a while and felt that the handwriting looked familiar.

a long time.

Shang Li learned that the Haitang Jade Hosta was indeed made by one person.

He lightly hooked his lips, and his dark eyes were full of joy and smile.

Suddenly.

Shang Li frowned.

"No, the master left five years ago. Even if he is reincarnated as a human, he cannot be reincarnated in the golden age. Could it be that he is not the master?

But if not, how could it be carved by the same person?"

He had thought before that even if he was reincarnated, he would not be the real master. In this case, why should he worry about it.

He used to think this way too, why is he so confused today.

Think about these.

The Imperial Master, who had a gloomy look on his face, recalled those things when his master once taught.

The Imperial Master's long black eyes flashed with a playful and joyful smile.

"Little Shen Tang is not a master. As a master, I occasionally bully her, just like my master bullied me."

Shang Li murmured for a moment.

Tightening the velvet cloak, her long legs stepped into the spreading snow covered with snow.

There are still two small balls of snow velvet hidden in the cuffs, wearing the white wrist bones of the young national master.

The young Imperial Master curled his lips, and looked through the window paper to see the figure of the little girl faintly revealed in the study room lit by candlelight.

Half a moment.

Flour and other items appeared in front of the little girl.

A look of confusion.

"Didn't Master teach me the art of foresight? What's the purpose of sending these things? Besides, this is a study, not a kitchen."

Speaking of which.

The little girl's fair face was lifted up by the national master Shang Li and smeared with flour on the little girl's face.

Shen Tang wiped off the flour on the side of his face, his eyes dark.

Shang Li slightly narrowed his beautiful eyes.

"As an apprentice, you cannot learn the master's skills for free. You should pay for it. Today's reward is to make a hundred pastries. If you don't know how to do it, I can ask someone to teach you."

Shang Li stopped squinting his eyes and his tone was slightly harsh.

Shen Tang: "..."

Are you sure you're not kidding her?

The next moment.

Shen Tang's Shui Lingling eyes were slightly stained with a dark color.

Small white hands hold the flour tightly.

Shang Li bent down slightly and looked down at the little girl who was obviously angry.

"Little Shen Tang, I'm kidding you. Learn what I teach you while making pastries. The art of prediction is not something you can learn directly. You need to lay a good foundation. Take your time and don't rush."

"Master, are you sure you are not playing tricks on me?"

Speaking of which.

Shen Tang pinched a handful of flour, his snow-white hands were stained with flour, and his face looked suspicious.

The business gift attracts people's lazy eyes and is full of banter.

"Little Shen Tang, let's take a guess."

Shen Tang's youthful and pretty face is expressionless.

"If the Imperial Preceptor is playing tricks on me, I will also find a way to play off the Imperial Preceptors."

The Imperial Master listened to Xiao Shen Tang's cold tone and chuckled.

"I'm not kidding you, let's get started."

Half a moment.

Shen Tang was taught by the national teacher again.

The little girl raised her porcelain white hands kneading the dough and made the Imperial Master's face confused.

The Imperial Master's fair face was stained with wet and waxy flour.

"Apprentice should study hard and not retaliate against the master. The master just said that you are stupid. It is a fact. You should not use flour to beat the master."

Shen Tang felt that the imperial master was very bad, so he pressed the dough hard several times and huffed angrily.

"You are the smartest. You are the smartest in the world."

The Imperial Master slightly raised his sleeves, revealing his wrists wrapped with snow pom-poms.

His slender fingers held the dough that Shen Tang was pressing randomly.

The corners of his lips curled up.

"I became a national teacher at a young age. Unlike a stupid person like you, my apprentice, I am of course extremely intelligent."

Suddenly.

A familiar ghostly voice sounded outside the door.

"Shen Tang, I just heard that you were making pastries. Can you let me in? I want to eat them too."

Hear the words.

Shang Li glanced sideways at the study door.

His eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

In a gentle tone: "Then let you come in."

The evil ghost bent his eyes, smiling like his eyes filled with light.

Until Yin Gui was forced to help Shen Tang make cakes.

Yin Gui lowered his head and whispered: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have asked for any cakes."

Shang Li remembered that Yin Gui was beaten.

There is a small candied fruit hidden in the lips and teeth, and the cheeks are bulging.

The Master of the State, who is in the year of the Dancing Elephant, looks like a small animal swallowing food at this moment.

"Why was the apprentice able to defeat this Yin ghost? Yin ghosts have no magic skills?"

Shen Tang took a bite of the raw dough and frowned.

"It's a secret, I'm sorry for not telling the master."

The Imperial Master is feeling slightly sleepy.
