From Suzhou to the eastern capital Luoyang, you can go from Yangzhou to Chuzhou to Xuzhou, or from Runzhou to Haozhou to Xuzhou, and then travel westward. Of course, the simpler way is to walk from Yangzhou to the canal, from Bian River to Bianzhou, and then go to Luoyang by land. However, due to the flood last year, this canal was too late to transport grain, so passenger transport was naturally even more inconvenient. Therefore, Du Shiyi and Wang Rong simply took the road from Runzhou to Xuzhou, from Chuzhou, Haozhou, Xuzhou, Songzhou, Bianzhou, and Zhengzhou, and finally entered the boundary of Henan Prefecture.

Although it was not a good way, but there was still time to come to Gong County, Du Shiyi decided to take Wang Rong to Songshan quietly and meet his mentor Lu Hong, who had been away for many years. It was early May, and when he walked outside in the sun, he could already feel the scorching heat, but the grass and trees in the mountains were abundant and the water was gurgling. Not only was it not hot, but it could also feel a cool feeling coming to his face. Especially when he walked into the old road to the Lu's Thatched Cottage under Xuanlian Peak, Du Shiyi suddenly discovered that the path that had been much flattered when he came last time was twice as widened.

Even in this season, you can still see pedestrians coming and going on this mountain road, most of whom are young white-clothed men in groups of three or three. In the mix, Du Shiyi took Wang Rong and Chen Baoer and the three followers seemed inconspicuous. Thinking of the last time he brought Yan Zhenqing here, Du Shiyi couldn't help but feel leisurely, while Wang Rong, dressed in men, was a little frightened to pay homage to his uncle and aunt.

You should know that Du Shiyi's parents both died, except for Du Shisanniang, the teacher Lu Hong should be the closest person.

Chen Baoer also seemed very nervous. When he was in the countryside, he would not know who Lu Hong was. But after Du Shiyi for many years, he had been influenced by the past events in the cottage. How could he not know that the owner of the cottage was the real hidden secret that he refused to give the emperor the title of the emperor and taught his disciples in the mountains with all his might?

"Senior Brother? Is it really a senior brother?"

Hearing this clear voice, Wang Rong couldn't help but look up and saw a young man who was young and stormed towards him. She quickly reminded Du Shiyi: "Du Lang, someone called you."

"Are you... Junior Brother Yan?"

Seeing Du Shiyi come back to her senses and look at the person coming, she exclaimed and was overjoyed and jumped off the horse and walked forward quickly. She knew that this must be the junior brother in the cottage. She couldn't help but look at the other party for a while. But the other obviously didn't give her any chance to introduce her, so she grabbed Du Shiyi and ran away. Her anxious look made her wonder. After thinking about it, she hurriedly greeted the two servants, took Du Shiyi's mount, and rode a horse to chase her.

Yan Zhenqing didn't notice how ridiculous it was to pull Du Shiyi to abandon the horse without relying on his legs to enter the mountain, and Du Shiyi himself didn't think anything was wrong. It was not until the two of them entered the area where the cottage surrounded by fences that Du Shiyi suddenly remembered something and turned around. Seeing Wang Rong and others riding horses followed closely, he knocked Yan Zhenqing's head with a silence.

"Junior Brother Yan, I have been dragged by you all the way, and I forgot that two legs are worse than four legs."

"Ah?" Yan Zhenqing came to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "Master Lu was talking about Senior Brother a few days ago. I lost my mind as soon as I saw you. Senior Brother, are you okay with the third brother?"

When Yan Zhenqing was brought here, Yan Shiqilang was only eleven years old, but now he is eighteen years old. He grew from a boy to a tall young man as tall as Du Shiyi. This made Du Shiyi sigh that time flew away. Yan Zhenqing had been in the Caotang for seven years, and all the students who came and went to school recognized him. Seeing him talking to Du Shiyi and his senior brother, someone quickly surrounded him curiously. Yan Zhenqing just asked the third senior brother, and the scholars around him whispered to him for a moment.

Although Pei Ning has been in office for several years, this iron-faced "Censor Censor" has become a legend in Lu's Thatched Cottage under the deliberate publicity of Lu Wangzhi and others. For the hardships he had lived with, all the words were exaggerated to the junior brothers who had suffered in the past. When the seniors who had never seen but had heard the legend were passed on to the juniors who had entered the school later, they inevitably exaggerated the facts even more. So today, I was fortunate to see a senior brother who might have been together with Pei Ning, and everyone was silent about it.

Du Shiyi guessed that he knew what was going on, and immediately said with a smile: "The third senior brother is very good, but now he is ruling the tea envoy and inspecting the tea administration of Jiannan, Jiangnan, Huainan, Jiangnan, and Jiangnan, for the most part, he has to run south and be very busy. Speaking of which, he accepted a disciple in Wujun, saying that he would teach him carefully and take him back to the mountains to pay homage to Master Lu, if other junior brothers were not as good as his disciple, I am afraid that the third senior brother's face would be extremely cold... Well, at least a few people can freeze to death."

Lu Hong gave the monthly exam for the children who entered the house. The monthly exam for other disciples of the Caotang had always been Pei Ning. The one who covered a comprehensive range of things was enough to make people dying of the ecstasy. Even when the seniors who left and came back to visit the teacher and even said privately to the younger generations, they claimed that they were more scary than the test. Therefore, the disciples of the Caotang standing next to them shivered again, and they were scattered like birds and beasts. Yan Zhenqing, who had heard that Du Shiyi's reputation was so famous, couldn't help but be amused by him when he saw him being so terrified.

"Senior brother, are you scaring them?"

"I'm not happy to stare at people like a monkey again and again. Junior Brother Yan, this time I brought a disciple I received in Shu and a friend to visit Master Lu."

Yan Zhenqing glanced at the person behind Du Shiyi and hurriedly led the way forward with a smile. Maybe Du Shiyi's words spread in a moment, or maybe others didn't care about it for the time being, and no one was involved in the next section of the road. Du Shiyi successfully took Wang Rong and Chen Baoer to the familiar and friendly cottage. When Yan Zhenqing stood in front of the door and planned to make a message, Du Shiyi reached out to stop him, went up the bamboo and wood stairs, and knocked three times in front of the door, and an old voice came from inside.

"Is it the Qing minister or Wangzhi? It should be the Qing minister. Wangzhi is not as polite as you, so I just came in casually."

Hearing Lu Hong talking about the difference between Yan Zhenqing and Lu Wangzhi, Du Shiyi couldn't help calming down and said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, I'm here to see you."

There was a sudden silence inside. After a while, with the sound of chaotic footsteps, the wooden door was suddenly opened. Lu Hong inside the door looked at the familiar face in disbelief, and after a long time he showed a happy smile: "Is Shijiulang here? It's you? Let me take a good look. In this blink of an eye, it's almost seven years."

Du Shiyi was held tightly by Lu Hong. Seeing him looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help feeling his eyes and heart were sore and astringent. He couldn't help but kneel down: "I haven't come back to visit for so many years, so I'm really sorry for my teacher..."

"I am happiest to be praised and respected by others."

Lu Hong interrupted Du Shiyi and quickly tried to help Du Shiyi up, but after all, his strength was weak, so he had to let Du Shiyi kowtow three times to him. He shook his head helplessly, then reached out to help Du Shiyi up. He found that many disciples outside looked at this side curiously, and he smiled and said, "Come on, come in and talk."

Seeing Lu Hong turn into the room, Du Shiyi waved to Wang Rong and Chen Baoer to follow him. Yan Zhenqing thought about it and did not enter in the end. Instead, he waved to a young disciple and said with a smile: "Junior brother, go find the eldest brother and the second brother and the others, and then say that the senior brother is back."

The disciple of Caotang was only fourteen years old. He couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this, "Senior Brother Yan, which senior brother is it?"

"You will know when you look back, go find someone."

On this side, Yan Zhenqing sent someone to find Lu Wangzhi and others, and on the other side, Du Shiyi took Wang Rong and Chen Baoer into the house. As soon as Lu Hong sat down, he pointed at Chen Baoer and said, "Master Lu, this is Chen Baoer, the disciple I received in Shu. I gave him the scientific name Chen Jizhen. Although he was born in the countryside, he had excellent talents and could not forget them all. The most rare thing is his diligence and hard work. He followed me out of Shu as a record room. In addition to his articles and knowledge, he also learned a lot of practical principles. Therefore, this time, I took him to visit Songshan Mountain when I returned to Luoyang.

Seeing Chen Baoer coming forward and bowing, Lu Hong hurriedly reached out and said, "Don't learn from you Master Du. Come and let me see."

Although Sun Taichong personally performed the golden needle barrier technique, Lu Hong was old and looked at him in poor eyes. He pulled Chen Baoer up and down to see people's eyes clear and elegant manners, just like Du Shiyi had just worshipped under his own disciple. He couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and then said two good words: "Okay, follow your mentor to practice hard, don't let his expectations down."

"Yes, thank you for your teachings." Chen Baoer saw that Lu Hong was really kind and kind, and she couldn't help but feel relaxed and admired her. When she returned to Du Shiyi, her eyes were still looking at the old man.

When introducing Chen Baoer, Du Shiyi took a light breath, then glanced at Wang Rong, and then said with a stuttering sound: "Sir Lu, this gentleman... no, she is my fiancée."

"Huh?" Lu Hong originally thought that although Wang Rong was wearing men's clothes, if he looked carefully, he always felt something was inconsistent. He was shocked when he heard Du Shiyi's statement. Seeing that the other party stepped forward to pay a deep salute, the man was skillful and elegant. He saw that he was dressed for more than a day. After reaching out to help him, he couldn't help looking at Du Shiyi with an angry look and said, "Zhijiulang, explain carefully, what's going on?"
