Chapter 57: A One Year Covenant

The carriage stopped outside Tianfu Temple. Zhang Xiangwen, who had just jumped off the carriage, was attracted by the horse tied in front of the temple gate. "Brother, come and see, what a beautiful horse."

Tang Que got out of the car and saw that the horse was indeed beautiful. He was tall and majestic. His hair was like copper coins, forming small inner rotations and arranged in fine and neatly. From a distance, he looked like a layer of armor on the horse, which looked very beautiful.

"This is a purebred five-birth horse. Look at how fine and neat the hair is. I don't know when there is such a good horse in our county..." Zhang Xiangwen was still muttering, but Tang Que, who was worried about time, was pulled towards the temple gate.

It was still the same small yard last time, but the old monk didn't play the piano today. When Tang Que walked into the abbot who decorated Jiansu, he unexpectedly found that Liu Suifeng, who had just competed in the county school, was standing inside, holding an unfolded scroll in his hand.

Liu Suifeng didn't expect to see Tang Que here, and the two of them were stunned for a moment. The words of the old monk Chengning next to him rang out softly, "In the future, the focus is on learning to draw with heart and enlightenment, but in the early stage, it requires solid water grinding skills. You have everything you can do, but you can't make yourself mistaken because of your intelligence."

While Liu Suifeng nodded, he had already put away the scroll, as if he was afraid that Tang Que would see it.

I can't understand this very well. Liu Suifeng, like himself, was actually learning painting with the old monk Chengning.

"Well, you go first." Chengning raised his hand slightly to Liu Suifeng and turned his gaze to Tang Que.

With Liu Suifeng standing aside, Tang Que couldn't say anything about apologizing. Fortunately, this person was also tactful and went out without delay after collecting the picture.

Seeing this, Tang Que breathed a sigh of relief, and then he explained his busy situation recently, and finally, he naturally apologized to the old monk sincerely.

After listening to it, the old monk Chengning did not have the anger that Tang Que expected, and the expression and tone on his face were still faint. "Since I have accepted Master Yan's hand-copied Diamond Sutra, you, as a disciple, must teach you. Whether you learn piano or painting, the first thing is Ning Shen Ding Mind. Since you have a lot of things now, you don't have to force it for a while, it doesn't matter if you have time. As for what you can accomplish in the end, it all depends on your personal fate."

After saying this, the old monk raised his hand slightly as before, "Since you have something to do in the afternoon, let's go!"

Seeing that the old monk's attitude towards others was pure Ren Natural, this made Tang Que, who was originally guilty, feel relieved. He couldn't help but feel a little more favor with Chengning. He walked out of the abbot and came outside the courtyard. Zhang Xiangwen, who was waiting here, grabbed his arm, "I just saw Liu Suifeng coming out of it, why is he here too?"

"He is also learning painting with Elder Chengning," Tang Que smiled, "It's getting late, so why don't you go back for dinner quickly."

When the two of them followed him to the mountain gate, the first thing they saw was Liu Suifeng. He was wearing white clothes and better than snow, standing next to the steep five-hua Lianqian horse.

"I've seen a ghost," Zhang Xiangwen murmured in a low voice. Liu Suifeng had already led the horse and said to Tang Que directly: "You and I will learn the two skills of piano painting with Elder Sui Chengning, and we are just getting started. Since that's the case, we will make a year later. Today, a year later, let's use piano painting to compare the shorter and longer."

Liu Suifeng walked over with his horse, and there were two people standing in front of him, but Zhang Xiangwen was like air in his eyes, and he didn't even glance at the corner of his eyes. How could Master Zhang not annoy? Before Liu Suifeng finished speaking, Zhang Xiangwen sneered first: "The defeated general dares to attack Yan Yanyong. Not to mention a year, even if you practice for ten or twenty years, you will still be a loss."

Liu Suifeng ignored Zhang Xiangwen's provocation at all. After he finished speaking, he nodded to Tang Que and turned over. When Zhang Xiangwen finished speaking, he was already ten steps away. From beginning to end, he had never looked at Mr. Zhang.

Tang Que originally wanted to say a few words that Zhang Xiangwen shouldn't take care of this for him, but seeing that his face was flushed due to anger, he couldn't say anything, so he simply didn't say anything and pulled him into the carriage.

Zhang Xiangwen was also spoiled since childhood, and he had been so contemptuous and frustrated there? After getting on the bus, he was full of purple-red and sulking. Tang Que persuaded him for a few words but it was useless. After the carriage drove far away from Tianfu Temple, he saw him holding Tang Que's arm violently and said hatefully: "Brother, you have to beat him in next year's competition no matter what, otherwise I will blame you for your whole life, brother."

Tang Que's mentality has long been no longer interested in this kind of urgency. He won't have the advantage of a penny, and he will not lose half a tael of meat if he loses. Since there is no benefit in winning or losing, what else can he fight for? However, in front of Zhang Xiangwen, he couldn't say such thoughts, and he could only respond: "I will do my best, do my best!"

After going home for dinner, Tang Que continued to work in the county government office, and then seized the time to study and practice calligraphy at night. When the wind and rain came at night, Tang Que looked at the lamp swaying slightly under the night wind, and couldn't help but sigh in a daze. In ancient times, life was slow and life should be much easier, but after he took the turn to travel back, he was even busier than in later generations. Alas! Life is miserable!

After some days, Tang Que maintained a three-point and one-line life every day, and the county school, residence, and county government office were busy back and forth. If there were any changes, he had almost done his homework in the "Four Books". At least he had other classmates' notes to borrow, and it was much faster to take the essence than just study by himself.

It is also worth mentioning that after a competition with Liu Suifeng that day, Tang Que, who was originally very low-key, became famous in one battle as Zhang Xiangwen said. Thanks to Liu Suifeng's high attention, he, the Mingjing Scientist who completely defeated the "all-talented man", became a well-known figure in the county school.

Due to his mentality, Tang Que had no intention of making a name for himself in the county school. With his consistent low-key attitude, the enthusiasm of the county students to pay attention to him gradually became colder. However, it was precisely because of his low-key contrast with Liu Suifeng that Tang Que had no intention of planting flowers and getting a "gentle, kind, implicit, respectful" reputation. When he heard this public opinion of the eight characters, Tang Que was really dumbfounded.

Actually, I just don’t want to fight with a group of 15 or 16-year-old kids. This evaluation is too high!

Spring is fleeting, and April is coming. The clothes under the group shirt and Confucian uniform can no longer be worn, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. At noon that day, Tang Que came back from the county school. After passing the gatehouse and entering the first yard, he saw a carriage parked in the yard. The lady of the Gao family who was holding the stove was busy in the kitchen with her daughter.

Seeing this scene, Tang Que immediately knew that it was the poisonous widow who had arrived in the county town.

After entering the second courtyard, I saw the Poison Widow turning around in the study room. I guess she had just arrived, and Sister Lan was explaining something to her one by one. There were two girls standing next to her, and they looked pretty good. They looked a little confused between their eyebrows and eyes, and their hands and feet were slightly bigger. This should be the Poison Widow bought the Poison Widow from the mountains after Lancao left.

These two girls didn't know Tang Que. At this moment, they saw a young man walking into the inner courtyard and immediately screamed out.

"What's the fuss? There's no rules...", the poisonous widow who was looking at Tang Que's study with great enthusiasm turned her head and saw Tang Que standing at the door of the study, but she could no longer say the words behind her.

"You two follow me to the front yard kitchen to see if you have anything to help." Sister Lan glanced at Tang Que with a smile, and then she walked out of the yard with two confused girls. With the sound of closing the door, the poisonous widow suddenly swayed in Tang Que's eyes.

"Are you here?" Perhaps because I haven't seen each other for several months, the atmosphere in the study was a little remarkable.
