Her surname is Xiao

A simple question about who is the chief flower can actually cite so many truths, and even rise to the level of a national policy question. Although it is unexpected, it is also in line with the wishes of the old man in the pavilion. It is a little regrettable that the champion's response was not only overshadowed by Xu Zhiqing, but also suppressed by Lin San, which was disappointing.

 Although there was a smile on Su Mubai's face, the smile was very forced. He looked at Lin San with twinkling eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

 Seeing Lin San sitting next to Xu Zhiqing's left hand, the old man looked at him with a smile and said to the blind old man: "Xiao Weizi, do you think Lin San is smart or confused?"

 The blind old man was startled and said, "I don't understand."

 The old man smiled and said: "If you say he is smart, no one will deny it. But such a smart person can't guess who I am. What do you think is going on?" Xiao Weizi's heart froze and he did not dare to speak. .

 "If you really don't understand, then you're not afraid. What I'm afraid of is that some people are pretending to be stupid under the pretense of being clever. This kind of thinking——" The old man smiled half-heartedly and snorted softly. [Heavenly Kiss Hand Beat]

 Xiao Weizi hurriedly said: "Master Mingjian. I think this Lin San will never conceal anything on purpose. I have been in contact with him for many days in Jinling. This man is sometimes extremely smart and knows many unheard and unseen things. But sometimes, He is also very confused, and is completely unfamiliar with our official system, human relations, and etiquette. Even the slaves sometimes don't understand whether this person is smart or stupid. "

 "Is he smart or stupid?" The old man muttered something, and then laughed and said: "This kid is also interesting. It's hard to tell whether he is smart or stupid. That's all, that's all, it's rare to meet such an interesting boy. If he realizes it immediately, it is too boring, so let him continue to be confused."

 "Master Shengming." Xiao Weizi replied respectfully, but his body was covered in layers of cold sweat. The master was moody and his words seemed intentional or unintentional. No one could guess what he was thinking. If he really doubted Lin San, then everything would be over.

 "Mu Bai must have learned some lessons this time." The old man glanced at the taciturn Su Zhuangyuan and sighed: "That's good. It saves him the satisfaction of being the number one scholar. Let him also see that there are people outside the world. , there is a sky beyond the sky."

 Seeing his master mentioning Su Mubai again, the blind old man automatically shut up. Sure enough, the old man said again: "Xiao Weizi, although this Su Mubai has the talent of number one scholar, he has little training and will only be able to stay in the academy." It's temporary, but not permanent. In your opinion, what kind of job should I entrust him with?"

 Xiao Weizi bowed and said: "I don't know. Su Zhuangyuan's talents, knowledge and knowledge are rare in the world. Master, you have trained him with your own hands. He can take on important tasks wherever he is placed. He is a great talent in the country. I don't dare to make assumptions." "

 The master looked at him meaningfully and sighed softly. He stomped a few steps in the pavilion, looked at the long white clouds on the horizon, and sighed: "Xiao Weizi, you don't have to worry, just say what you have to say, I won't blame you. You have been with me for more than fifty years." I'm an old man, if you don't dare to tell the truth, who else can confess to me?"

 Xiao Weizi was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "In my opinion, what Dahua needs is not a number one scholar, but -"

 Before he finished speaking, the old man's expression changed and he snorted heavily. The blind old man hurriedly knelt down and said, "My slave deserves to die, my slave deserves to die. Master, please forgive me."

 The old man's face kept changing. He was silent for a long time, and then he called out: "I asked you to say this. What's your crime? Get up quickly."

 Xiao Weizi knew his master very well and knelt on the ground, not daring to move. Seeing his stubbornness, the old man stopped talking and pondered for a while, saying: "This Su Mubai needs to be tempered more and put in place. I'm afraid that he will be contaminated by the bad habits of officialdom, and it will be difficult to deal with him if he is placed in the academic department and becomes arrogant and extravagant."

 He seemed to be discussing with the blind old man, but Xiao Weizi felt like a mirror in his heart. This was just the master talking to himself, and he must have arranged everything long ago.

 As expected, the old man stomped a few steps and said in a deep voice: "In more than a month, I, Dahua, will march out with all his troops to fight to the death with the Hu people. There are no good generals in the court right now, and Li Tai alone has three heads and six arms." It's hard to support all directions. Su Mubai is not only talented, but also very knowledgeable in military formations. I plan to place him in the army to gain more experience, and at the same time, he will assist Li Tai to control this army. I have studied the matter thoroughly, Xiao Weizi, what do you think?"

 Xiao Weizi's heart trembled, it turned out that the master had trained him personally, and that advantage was innate. Even though Su Mubai was temporarily frustrated by today's national policy, his foundation could not be shaken. In the master's heart, Su Mubai still came first. Letting Su Mubai join the army was said to be to assist Li Tai, but in fact it was to let him accumulate qualifications and even gradually take over the military power. The purpose of this is self-evident.

 Seeing that Xiao Weizi did not dare to answer, the old man said: "Don't think that I am taking sides. I just said that the opportunities are equal. If Lin San is willing to join the army to assist Li Tai, I will never treat him badly. He and Su Mubai, whoever has made great achievements is a hero. Our great country must not fall into the hands of mediocrity."

 join the army? Will this kid be willing? Xiao Weizi shook his head helplessly. The last time he asked Lin San to befriend Xu Wei and help Xu Wei annihilate the White Lotus Sect, he had already spent a lot of money on it. It was still a guaranteed profit of one against ten. This time we have to deal with the barbarians with real swords and guns, which is very different from annihilating the White Lotus Sect. Is this kid willing to go?

 The old man glanced at the people in the garden, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Yuruo. He was silent for a long time before sighing and waving his hands half-heartedly: "I'm a little tired today, that's all. Let's stop here." As soon as he finished speaking, he With a flick of his long sleeves, he walked out of the pavilion, and a group of guards hurriedly guarded him.

 Lin Wanrong sat outside for a while and heard no movement inside. He gradually became impatient and was about to get up when he saw Miss Xu's face was pure and she was looking at him with a smile.

 "Miss Xu, although I don't care very much, I am an unmarried man after all, and I have a strong sense of shame. If you look at me like this, it will greatly damage my reputation. Miss, please respect yourself." Lin Wanrongyi Said sternly.

 Xu Zhiqing bit her lip, holding back her smile and said, "I'm not even familiar with you for attacking and ridiculing me just now. Why did I offend you again just by looking at you?"

 It really didn't bother him. Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly he saw the curtain lifted, and several small sedans filed out of the pavilion and walked away without even seeing the old man.

 Leaving now? Lin Wanrong was stunned. What kind of immortal was this? His arrival was mysterious and his departure was so hurried that it was hard to figure out.

 When Su Mubai saw the people in the pavilion leaving, he hurriedly hugged Xu Zhiqing and said, "Miss Xu, Mu Bai will say goodbye first." Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly, and Su Zhuangyuan glanced at Lin Wanrong and left in a hurry.

 "Miss, you really don't know who this person is?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "I see that he is obsessed with Madam. Maybe Madam and Miss have mentioned it."

 Xiao Yuruo shook her head and said, "Mother rarely mentions matters in the capital to me. I have no idea who this noble man is."

 Is this person really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Xu Zhiqing glanced at Lin San doubtfully and couldn't help but shake her head and smile. This guy is so weird.

 "Sister Xu, do you know this elder?" The eldest lady asked hurriedly when she saw Xu Zhiqing's chuckle.

 Miss Xu nodded with a smile and said: "We know each other, sister Xiao, you met a noble person today."

 "Noble person?" Xiao Yuruo grabbed Xu Zhiqing and said hurriedly: "Sister, who is this noble person? Can you explain me more clearly?"

 Lin San pricked up his ears and listened. Miss Xu pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "A noble person is a noble person. I dare not say his identity - isn't there a bold person in your family? Let him ask and find out?"

 The eldest lady smiled shyly and was about to speak when she saw a group of young and old monks walking in the distance. The leader was wearing a bright red cassock and had white beard and hair. He looked like an accomplished monk. The group of people hurriedly walked up to the three of them. The eminent monk bowed and pronounced the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "Lao Na Huikong is the abbot of this temple and has met several donors."

 "Zen Master Huikong?" Xu Zhiqing hurriedly clasped her hands together and said solemnly: "Disciple Xu Zhiqing, I have met the master. My father, Xu Wei, once received the master's instruction in chess skills. It has been unforgettable for many years. My daughter thanks the master for his kindness on my father's behalf."

 The eminent monk smiled and said: "Xiao Tan Yue is actually Mr. Wen Chang's daughter? How disrespectful. Mr. Wen Chang has forgotten these little tricks. May I ask, Miss Xu, who is Lin Sanlin's benefactor?"

 Looking for me? Lin Wanrong was stunned. Could it be that I stepped on the peonies in the garden and wanted to pay for it? Damn it, I wanted to ask Iron Rooster for money? no way!

 He chuckled and said: "Master Monk, are you looking for Lin San? Oh, I just saw him go out, maybe he went to the hut - Master, what are you looking for him for? He hasn't done anything, I'll do it for him testify."

 The eminent monk looked at him and smiled slightly: "That's no coincidence. I'm here to convey a message to him."

 Send a message? Lin Wanrong was surprised and asked the great monk to send a message. Could it be that the Bodhisattva is looking for me? Damn, this is evil.

 "Well, Master, who is going to pass the message to Lin San? Oh, I am Lin Er, Lin San's brother. It's the same if the message is passed to me." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.

 The master nodded slightly and said, "That's good. The person who sent the message to Donor Lin was a female benefactor, and she said her surname was Xiao!"

 "What's your last name?" Lin Wanrong jumped up suddenly as if he had a needle stuck in his butt.
