In Jiangbei Prefecture, Jiangnan Road, there is a small county town called Jingning County.

There is a small academy to the north of the small county town.

Its name is Sanwei Bookstore.

It only has one school and only one teacher.

His name is Su Yian!

As the sun sets, the students of Sanwei Bookstore have already finished school.

Su Yian patted the dust on his body and came to his own simple house in the backyard.

Sitting in the small yard, he cooked a pot of tea for himself, thinking about what to eat for the evening, but suddenly a strong aroma of wine came.

He shrugged his nose, sniffed hard, and then purred and swallowed.

Good wine!

This wine is much better than Kyoto’s Ruilu!

Could it be that the Qu family has improved Ruilu's method of brewing?

wrong!

Such good wine will definitely not be sold in this remote town.

Su Yian turned around and looked around for a moment, and then he saw a white-haired and white-bearded old man walking towards his small courtyard with a jar of wine.

He looked closely and stood up immediately, with a hint of surprise on his face-

He hurried over, opened the small fence door of the courtyard, grinned and bowed:

"Sir, why did you come to this place?"

The one who came to Hua Manting!

Hua Manting stroked her long beard and turned her head to look at Su Yian carefully:

"Twenty years ago, when I parted in Kyoto, I am older, why has my temper become smaller?"

Su Yian stretched out his hand and pointed: "At that time, I was young and had many frivolous actions. I laughed at him!"

"The humble house is simple, but there are such delicious wine...and food?"

Hua Manting walked in and laughed:

"Su Yian, Su Yian, you didn't call me a gentleman, you should call me an old man, you should call me an old man, it sounds so pleasant... are you greedy?"

Su Yian smiled embarrassedly and said embarrassedly: "Didn't that be called out when you argue with you in some academic issues? But in my heart, you are still my husband!"

Hua Manting glanced at Su Yian: "Time is really like water, and it can really remove the edges and corners of stubborn stones, but in my opinion, it is smooth but not good!"

"I still like your former temperament."

"When I met my old friends, I came with my own wine. Isn't this dish... supposed to be prepared?"

Su Yian was stunned, "Sir, please sit down. Such a good wine is served as a good dish. I will buy a pound of braised pork head meat to serve with wine!"

When Hua Manting heard this, he said, "Why are you so poor?"

Su Yian smiled embarrassedly: "The resignation from Kyoto back then made his father very disappointed."

"I haven't had any contact with my family for years, so I haven't reached out to ask for money from my family."

"The Sanwei Bookstore... I think you saw it when you came in. The students collected more than fifty, but most of them were children from poor families!"

"They long to study, but they can't afford to give Shu Xiu... The gentleman once said that life is destined, and reading is only fair."

"Students keep this in mind and can't keep them out, so they have to teach them for free."

"I stayed here for fifteen years, but I paid in the money I saved when I was an official in Kyoto... Isn't this getting poorer and poorer?"

"Besides, the matter of eating wine is about wine, and the key is who to eat wine with. As for the dishes that serve wine, it doesn't matter."

Hua Manting laughed again: "It's still as many fallacies as before."

"Let's sit down. When I came, I ordered a few dishes from the second and two bedrooms. They will deliver them later."

When Su Yian heard this, "This... makes you spend money. When I have a good time one day, I will be invited back and have a good wine and good food!"

The two sat down.

Hua Manting placed the jar of wine on the stone table and looked up at Su Yian:

"Are you developed?"

"After you have a good time, the grass on my tomb is tall!"

"However, I'm here today, I want to show you a developed way."

When Su Yian heard this, he smiled in his heart. Of course, he knew that Hua Manting would not be able to come to this ghost place for nothing.

As for what happened, he could even guess a little bit.

These days, news about the Regent has spread all over the place.

Although Jingning County is the most remote small county in Jiangnan Road, this place is one of the two roads entering Guanzhong from Jiangnan Road.

Now that spring has begun, business travel has gradually increased.

What happened in Jiangnan Road, especially what happened in Wusanyuan, has now been introduced to Jingning County and has become a thing that the people of Jingning County are talking about.

He was just a laugh at those rumors.

He didn't know much about Li Chen'an's affairs.

He just thought that rumors were exaggerated.

Especially I heard that Li Chenan used a thousand heavenly soldiers to destroy the 80,000 troops of Xiahou Zhuo and Xie Jing...

This is impossible without thinking about it!

Especially the theory of thunder that day was even more absurd.

Su Yian poured a cup of tea for Hua Manting, handed it over with respect, and said with a smile: "Sir, if you want to introduce me to a few more students from wealthy families and let my Shuxiu be able to collect more, of course I would be very grateful to you."

"But if you want me to become an official again..."

Su Yian shook his head: "When I left Kyoto twenty years ago, I had already lost my heart to becoming an official."

"You know my personality. I resigned from my office back then, but I still listened to your advice."

"As an official, I need to be smooth, judge the situation, flattery, etc., but I don't have it either."

"Even after experiencing these twenty years of baptism, I am just a little humble in front of you, and I still haven't changed in my heart."

"Didn't you say that at that time? If you say that if I become an official again, I'm afraid my life will be gone."

"I thought about it, it's more important to be alive."

"If you can't show your ambitions in the court, then just like you teach more students, maybe one or two of them can become talents, become officials of the court, and be in charge of the country to benefit the people. This is the best."

"It can be regarded as a continuation of my original ideal."

As he said this, Su Yian's mood gradually became a little depressed.

After all, after ten years of hard work, when he was the top student in high school in the second year of Zhaohua, he rode a horse and paraded in the street to express his joy, wrote inscriptions in the literary world, and climbed to the forefront to welcome the imperial edict... I thought I had finally made it through and could finally stand on the temple to realize my ideals.

But the gloriousness was at that time, the embarrassing it was when you left.

When he left Kyoto, when he left Kyoto South Gate, he turned around three times.

Except for the old man Hua in front of me, there was not even one person who saw him off.

Old Man Hua also brought a pot of wine.

Kyoto Rilu.

The two of them drank a bowl of wine outside the south gate. When he left, Old Man Hua told him to live well and meet again if he was destined to do so.

But I survived well in this remote place. It seems that I am destined to be there now, after all, I really see you again.

But his heart, which originally wanted to serve the country, has long since passed through the erosion of these twenty years.

Hua Manting looked at Su Yian with a teacup at this moment.

"You are ignorant!"

He did not say why Su Yian was ignorant, but suddenly asked, "Where is Xia Yuhe?"

Xia Yuhe is Su Yian's wife.

It was not a relative who came to Kyoto, but a relative who came to Hirae Castle when he left Kyoto and returned to Hirae Castle.

"She went back to Pingjiang."

"A person came to the family and sent a message that the little girl Su Meng had returned from Mushandao... Someone proposed marriage to the Su family."

"Who's home?"
