Sanctification begins from the fruit of the years

Chapter 75 Nine sisters pay homage to teachers and everyone, scholars have their own pride and ambition
A piece of distant smoke adds to the twilight, and the sound of several returning birds turns into the sound of spring.

Today's weather is not so beautiful, it rained last night in spring, today is cloudy and cloudy, and the whole day is gloomy, it seems that the rain is still brewing.

It was almost evening now, but there was no ray of light, the sky was vaguely dark, Zhang Xuyuan's face was already blurred.

Qingshi Road in Lin Mansion.

Lin Qingyin and Lin Zhuifeng were preparing to send An Le out of the house together, but they never thought that they would meet Ji Ying who was waiting.

The personal servant girl next to the old matriarch appeared here, naturally to pass on the message to the old matriarch.

The maid Ji Ying is not an ordinary person, she is also a cultivator, and her status in Lin's mansion is not bad, comparable to that of Lin Zhuifeng, but Ji Ying is used to serving the old lady, and she is not as free and loose as Lin Zhuifeng.

In An Le's eyes, Ji Ying also has a lot of time lingering on her body, which is comparable in number to Lin Zhuifeng, but Ji Ying is older, and has served the old lady all the year round, and has been promoted by many treasures, so in terms of talent , compared to Lin Zhuifeng, it is much worse.

"The old lady wants to see me?"

In the groggy twilight, An Le was slightly surprised.

Lin Zhuifeng and Lin Qingyin who were on the side were also surprised. After all, the old lady stayed in Tianbo Tower all year round, and except for Mrs. Hua and Fourth Master Lin, she hardly saw anyone else.

Even Lin Qingyin, whom the old lady loved the most, hadn't seen her for a long time.

Today, for the first time ever, Ji Ying came to invite An Le.

"Yes, Mr. An."

Ji Ying had a soft smile on her face. Although she was not very glamorous, she had a kind of virtuous and gentle feeling down to her bones.

An Le nodded, Ji Ying was leading the way, Lin Qingyin and Lin Zhuifeng wanted to follow, but Ji Ying stopped them, and they had no choice but to give up.

Follow Ji Ying to the direction of Tianbo Tower.

An Le couldn't help raising his head and glanced at the octagonal double-eaved dripping Tianbo Tower that can often be seen in the waterside pavilion.

It is rumored that there is a built-in iron certificate of Danshu, which is a symbol of the glory and status of the Lin family.

Tianbo was downstairs, Ji Ying took a step back and let Anle go upstairs.

"Mr. An, the old lady is on the third floor, please go up by yourself."

Ji Ying said softly.

An Le nodded: "Thank you, Miss Jiying."

So without too much hesitation, he climbed upstairs with the Qingshan Mochi on his waist.

The appearance of Tianbo Tower is not as luxurious as seen from a distance. The red paint is cracked, some wood is old, and there are small holes eaten by moths, but these traces just show the history and atmosphere of Tianbo Tower.

With a bit of solemnity, An Le stepped on the narrow wooden ladder, and there was a slight creaking sound when stepping on the ladder, which lingered endlessly.

Walking to the third floor, there is a spring breeze in the small building, with the smell of sandalwood.

The interior of Tianbo Building is simple and plain, in sharp contrast to the luxury outside. The third floor is empty, but there are not too many things on it.

Tianbo Tower is the symbol of the Lin Mansion. Few people have the opportunity and qualification to set foot in it, and An Le never thought that he could set foot in this building.

Slow footsteps sounded, accompanied by the sound of the wooden stick gently falling on the wooden plank, Anle looked over, and saw a crooked old woman in fine clothes and frosty hair walking slowly.

"Xiaosheng Anle, I have met the old lady."

An Le immediately clasped his hands together and said respectfully.

This is a legendary figure, and he is also well-known in the Lin'an Mansion. He once personally took command and fought in all directions, gaining a reputation. After the old lady Lin passed away, he supported the Lin family and became the pillar of the Lin family.

The old lady Yu had a kind face, her eyes were as deep as stars, she held the golden dragon crutch, looked at An Le with a smile, and nodded slightly.

He looked up and down at the handsome yet somewhat bewitching young man in front of him.

The old matriarch has also heard about the various deeds of the young man in Lin'an. He shocked the Academy of Arts with his black bamboo, won the little holy order in front of the sixth mountain, and now he defeated the little holy list Wang Qinhe with his sword.

From being ignored at the beginning to gaining a great reputation now, a spirit of vigor has emerged and condensed from the young man.

"good."

The old lady laughed.

An Le bowed and bowed. In his eyes, the old matriarch had a great amount of age, surpassing Mrs. Hua. Although he was not as good as the old man of Taimiao, he was considered a top existence among the strong men he had ever seen.

Even though the other party was dying and depressed, that power was still overwhelming like a mountain.

"I have seen your ink bamboos and admired your galloping horses. You are really good at drawing. You have worked hard to draw sketches for my Lin family boy." Sit down and chat too.

"It's Xiaosheng's honor to paint for the young masters of the Lin family. There's no such thing as hard work. The old lady is serious." An Le said with a smile.

The old lady had a kind face, chatting with An Le about her parents, just like the elders next door, chatting with the younger generation.

It is very approachable to ask about Anle's past, whether Chunwei has self-confidence, the troubles encountered in practice, etc.

An Le was much more relaxed, and the conversation was quite casual, with a lot of words, which even made the old lady smile involuntarily.

"Master An, I have one last question." The old matriarch's face was extremely kind.

"Excuse me, Madam." An Le said.

The old lady got up, leaned on crutches and walked to the vermilion carved wooden window of Tianbo Tower, looking at the scenery of Lin Mansion under the night.

Then she looked at An Le and said, "Mr. An, what do you think of Jiumei?"

An Le was taken aback, this question... what does it mean?
Mrs. Yu sighed: "Jiumei is soft-tempered and doesn't like to fight. She is different from most people in my Lin family. I have loved her since she was a child... She likes to paint, and Mr. An also taught her to paint, so the old man There is a request."

"I hope Mr. An can formally accept Jiumei as his apprentice and teach her how to paint."

Outside the window, the twilight clouds shattered, and the cold moonlight spread down like a veil, shining on the old matriarch. The old man's brows and eyes were full of melancholy, as well as his plans for what happened next.

After a long time, An Le cupped her fists and bowed, "Okay."

Under the moonlight, the old matriarch smiled openly, and it was a matter of great or small concern.

……

……

After leaving Tianbo Tower, An Le looked back at the luxurious octagonal pavilion with double eaves and dripping water.

In front of the pavilion window, a hunched figure could be vaguely seen nodding slightly towards him.

The conversation with the old matriarch Yu this time was quite beyond his expectation. Anle also knew a little about the affairs of the Lin family, and learned about the turmoil of the imperial examination.

I thought that the old matriarch wanted to ask him to contribute in the imperial examination, but never thought... the old matriarch actually asked him to officially accept Lin Jiumei as an apprentice to teach painting skills.

Although Lin Jiumei kept calling him Mr., she was not a real master and apprentice. Once he became a real master and apprentice, the meaning would be different.

Stepping on the cold moonlight, as soon as he left the mansion, a figure suddenly appeared and came through the air.

Mrs. Hua was dressed in a black veil outlining a graceful figure, with a beautiful little sword pinned to her waist, she looked a bit dusty, maybe she hurried back when she learned that the old lady had seen An Le.

"I've seen the eldest lady." Ji Ying hurriedly saluted, and then she left.

Mrs. Hua's eyes fell on An Le: "Madam, see you?"

"What were we talking about?"

"I chatted with my parents and talked about my practice experience. In the end, the old lady asked me to accept Qingyin girl as an apprentice and formally teach painting skills."

"I agree." An Le said.

Mrs. Hua's delicate and beautiful face suddenly revealed a look of astonishment: "It's gone?"

"No more." Anle smiled.

Mrs. Hua was thoughtful, as if reflecting Bibotan, her eyes moved slightly, she looked at Tianbo Tower with octagonal double eaves, and a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"One ink bamboo, one galloping horse, you are in Lin'an, you already have everyone's name, it is a kind of luck for Qingyin to worship you."

"Spring is coming, study hard."

Mrs. Hua exhorted.

An Le clasped his fists and bowed, with a serious expression on his face.

Then he turned around and left, the white clothes danced in the moonlight, the green hills and the ink pool set off the free and easy youth.

Watching the boy's back disappear into the night in the quiet street.

Mrs. Hua returned to the mansion, looking at Tianbo Tower, her eyes became softer and more intense.

The old matriarch respected her ideas and didn't make it difficult for her, but let Anle fight and get involved in the turmoil.

But he is optimistic about Anle's future, and asking Qingyin to learn from Anle as a teacher is a kind of support.

The moon shines clear, the ripples are quiet and there are no waves, and the luanxiao elephants are in charge of the night.

Walking to the waterside pool, looking at the lonely moon shining in the pool, Mrs. Hua couldn't help but sighed softly, with a little melancholy between her brows, adding a few wisps of evil spirit.

……

……

An Le left the Lin Mansion, and went to the restaurant in Yanchunli to buy wine as usual, the night was dark, but the tavern was quite noisy, the drinkers drank lavishly and laughed heartily.

Seeing An Le, the female proprietress of the tavern gradually smiled. While chatting with An Le, she made wine for An Le. For the sake of her appearance, she even made an extra spoonful.

An Le paid the money with a smile, took the old rice wine and left, then went to Dingya Lane, cut a catty of beef, and returned to the courtyard of Taimiao Lane.

The old man stepped on the moon with a bamboo stick and arrived as promised. The two drank wine and ate meat, chatting along the way.

An Le chatted with the old man about the old lady seeing him today.

The old man drank a cup of warm old rice wine, and there were little ripples in his eyes.

"Old Madam Yu, she is a character. Back then, she personally took command and severely damaged the Xiliang army who was about to come south to commit crimes. She is as powerful as a woman, and she does not give way to her eyebrows."

"But she is no match for the years after all." The old man sighed softly.

"This matter is because the royal family did not do it properly enough. Ding Fengbo is Lin Dalang's saber. Although it was donated from the royal family's treasure house, it is considered Lin Dalang's relic after all, and it should belong to the Lin family."

"The old man Qin Lishi was making trouble in this matter, but in the end it was the one from Tianxuan Palace who made the absurdity."

"Since the move to the south, the old man has not felt strange about any absurd things."

The old man's words were full of dissatisfaction with that person in Tianxuan Palace, even extremely unhappy.

Without continuing to talk about these, the old man asked An Le to perform the Three Swords of Ci Pai in the yard to see how he mastered it, and to point out the shortcomings by the way.

When An Le mentioned Qingshan, he danced his sword in the courtyard.

The 20 strands of time energy just harvested today are also blessed in the column of [Eternal Talent] Dao Fruit, making it blessed up to 57 strands, which further enhances the understanding of Anle.

Yingying and jade are in harmony, and the sword is shining brightly.

In the small courtyard, accompanied by the sound of the old man drinking and pointing, the young man danced his sword, with sword aura and cold light.

……

……

In the ancient demon-quenching jade, the demon energy spreads in strands and strands, wrapping around the body, tempering the body, making the An Le ancient demon and five birds more and more vigorous.

Qi and blood surged, like exploding waves hitting the river.

The visions of ancient monsters such as demon tigers, ferocious beasts, and demon apes are becoming more and more oppressive.

After finishing the training of the ancient demons and five animals, An Le practiced and studied the sword qi, his mind sank into the small sacred order, and observed and comprehended the sword qi near technique.

The secret treasures recorded in this little sacred decree are quite profound, enough to be pondered over for a long time in peace.

When the warm sun broke through and the spring breeze sprinkled the earth, An Lefang got up, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to leave the small courtyard.

The Qingshan Mochi is worn on the waist, holding a book while studying, while going out as usual.

In front of the hall, Lin Dalang's steadfastness will be rewarded in the palace test. Lin's family wants to get steadiness, but there are many twists and turns. can help.

However, it is not easy to take the examination in front of the palace. What An Le has to do now is to be listed in the Jinshi list in Chunwei Middle and High School before he is eligible to take the examination in front of the palace.

Exercise, refresh your mind, and read books with peace of mind.

Anle's days have returned to the calmness of penance. Although in Lin'an, his fame has grown stronger and stronger, it has little impact on his life.

Lin Qingyin also learned what the old lady meant, and asked her to worship Anle as her teacher.

To this, Lin Qingyin didn't have much resistance, she accepted it with a smile on her face, and the next day, she brought Lin Zhuifeng and the attendants of the Lin House, prepared to worship Shu Xiu, and came to Taimiao Lane in person.

Apprenticeship to Shu Xiu is quite rich, in addition to [-] Yuan Lingtong treasures, there are also spirit beast meat, spirit wine, etc., which is very solemn.

An Le never thought that Lin Qingyin would pay her respects to her teacher so solemnly, she thought it would be casual, after all An Le was teaching Lin Qingyin how to paint.

At that time, Lin Zhuifeng was on the sidelines feeling quite emotional, Jiumei could only be an apprentice this time, and it was a pity that such a good-looking person as Mr. An could only be used as a master.

After leaving the small courtyard, An Le ate a bowl of hot bean curd, then took a leisurely walk in the courtyard, heading for the West Lake.

Liu Yue, a scholar of Huating, was talking with several literati, and there was some seriousness in their eyes.

Seeing An Le approaching, Liu Yue immediately waved excitedly, bid farewell to other literati, walked with An Le, and strolled along the long embankment.

The willows are blowing in the wind, which is quite refreshing.

"Brother An, it will be Chunwei in two days. I wonder if Brother An has confidence?" Liu Yue talked with An Le these days, and they have a good relationship with each other.

An Le read the great Confucianism's "Li Yan", and said with a smile: "Confidence is naturally there, but going all out is the greatest respect for Chunwei."

Hearing this, Liu Yue's eyes gleamed, he looked at the waves of the West Lake, and took a deep breath: "The Great Zhao moved south for five hundred years, the prosperity is like a dream, and the time flies, but I can still learn from the book that the north of the Canglang River is my Great Zhao. native land."

"Now that the Great Zhao Dynasty is seated in the south, it has long lost the intention of regaining the lost land. If I become an official in high school, I must go to the emperor and regain my homeland. This is what scholars of my generation should do."

Although Liu Yue is not a practitioner, he has a passionate ambition.

An Le glanced at Liu Yue, and said with a smile: "Then I wish brother Liu a high school, and solve the country's worries and problems as soon as possible."

Liu Yue immediately grinned and said, "By the way, Brother An, there is a literature meeting tonight, which is organized by some of my friends in Lin'an. Brother An, would you like to participate?"

An Le shook her head when she heard the words: "An has a lot of things to do every day, so I won't go."

It's not surprising that Liu Yue heard the words, the name of Master An is becoming more and more famous in Lin'an now, how can such celebrities easily participate in ordinary literary meetings?

Just as the two of them were walking along the bank of the long embankment where the willows were blowing gently.

In the distance, a small boat slowly approached.

The familiar maid stood pretty on the boat, saw Anle, bowed her body and said, "Master An, my lady has an invitation, I wonder if I would like to go on the flower boat today."

An Le turned to look at the flower boat in the middle of the lake, Fairy Yun Rou nodded towards him from afar.

There was a smile on the corner of her lips, she didn't need to go to Lin's mansion to work today, An Le naturally no longer refused.

"Then it will trouble the girl." An Le clasped her fists.

After saying goodbye to Liu Yue, under the envious eyes of the other party, boarded the small boat.

The light boat draws water and sails slowly towards the flower boat.

Anle traveled so far for a long time, and finally realized her little wish, and boarded the flower boat in the center of West Lake.
