I was fucked by Zheng Ge as soon as I crossed over

When Xiao He suddenly saw Zhang Liang in such a state, he was shocked.

He no longer looks like the young man who was full of vigor and arrogance.

When Zhang Liang saw the two men, he was calm at first, until Huang Shigong, who was behind Xiao He, spoke.

"My dear friend, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you still recognize me?"

This voice sounds very familiar.

Zhang Liang looked at the other person inquiringly.

The man was wearing an official robe, with white hair neatly tied up, gentle eyes and brows, and long beard hanging down. It was obvious at a glance that he was well-groomed.

"Haha... have you read that military book thoroughly?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly widened.

It turned out to be the old man who gave him the military book.

However, the old man now no longer looks like he did before, with shabby clothes and messy hair and beard.

"You, Master... Old Man, you..."

Zhang Liang stumbled a little, not knowing how to address him.

"Just call me Old Huang." Huang Shigong smiled and stroked his beard.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Huang, please."

"Haha, okay, let's sit down and talk." As he said that, Huang Shigong took the lead and sat down at the only stone table in the yard.

Xiao He followed behind him and handed the food box in his hand to Shui Niang, asking her to arrange it.

When Xiao He saw Shuiniang's protruding waist and abdomen, his eyes lit up and he felt more confident about his chances of success.

"Is my sister-in-law pregnant again? Congratulations!"

He smiled and congratulated Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang just nodded slightly and said nothing else.

Xiao He didn't feel embarrassed either.

He is not the protagonist this time.

He can just sit in on the class.

"My friend, how did you end up like this after we parted that day?" Huang Shigong looked at Zhang Liang with regret.

This is his favorite disciple, so it goes without saying that he is very smart.

Zhang Liang's face darkened. "We have different paths, so we cannot make plans together. We each follow our own ambitions."

Huang Shigong shook his head.

He now works in the Ministry of Rites and also serves as a Taoist doctor. He often teaches at the Daqin Academy, and his state of mind has long changed.

Especially with the four old men from Shangshan, they had similar personalities and became close friends from the first sight.

Who would have thought that this old man, after wandering for half his life, would finally meet close friends, have disciples, be respected and admired by everyone, have no worries about food and clothing, and be extremely satisfied both mentally and physically.

It can be said that there are no regrets.

Now when I think about it, those days when I rode a tricycle, going through wind and rain, and rushing around everywhere, seemed as unreal as a dream.

"I understand your intelligence, my friend. The Qin Dynasty is now thriving, the people are safe, and the borders are secure. Why are you so obsessed with this?"

Huang Shigong sighed, "Given your talent, you should have passed the imperial examination and entered the government long ago. If you had entered the government two years ago, you might have already had a seat in the court."

He was not lying.

Since the court system was restructured, the first batch of people who passed the imperial examinations have basically all been given official positions. Up to now, there are still a few outstanding people in the court.

"Su Wuming and Yin Shiyang are renowned for their talents and fame, both of whom have been admitted to the inner circle of the Nine Tribes. Deng Yannian is old, but he refuses to admit his age and is full of energy every day..."

His voice was low and slow, and every word he spoke was filled with regret. "If you join, what will happen to them?"

Just at this moment, Shuiniang prepared hot tea and placed the teacups and snacks on the stone table one by one.

Huang Shigong looked at the woman's badly worn clothes and her protruding belly and sighed deeply.

"How many months?"

Shui Niang glanced at Zhang Liang and, seeing that he had no objection, she lowered her head and replied, "About seven months or so."

Huang Shigong nodded, "Then the baby is about to be born. Have you arranged a doctor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard fell silent.

Zhang Liang felt a pain in his heart.

How could he arrange for a doctor?

A bird in a cage or a pig in prison, whether it lives or dies depends on others.

Apart from the daily bean cake porridge, they had never seen anything else.

Seeing that no one answered, Huang Shigong pondered and stopped asking.

"Father, Mother..."

Buyi's voice came from the direction of the room. The boy was thin, holding a piece of dessert in his hand. He walked to the side of the few people and saluted in a standard manner.

"Father, I also want to sit in on the discussion."

"Haha... your name is Buyi?" Huang Shigong waved at Buyi, "You are old enough now, sit next to the old man."

Buyi didn't move, staring at Zhang Liang eagerly.

He didn't sit down happily until Zhang Liang nodded.

"In that case, Shuiniang, you can sit down too." Zhang Liang looked at Shuiniang.

Shuiniang responded gently, supported her waist and sat down next to Zhang Liang. As soon as she sat down, she was about to pour tea for everyone, but was quickly stopped by Xiao He.

"You're pregnant, take a rest. We can handle these little things ourselves."

As he spoke, Xiao He quickly filled everyone's cups with tea, then hid behind Huang Shigong and drank his tea with his head down.

A gust of wind blew, the leaves swayed, and the wild flowers beside the courtyard wall swayed gently in the breeze.

For a moment, no one said anything more.

The adults remained calm and drank their tea in small sips.

Xiao Buyi, however, was not that cunning.

After finishing a piece of snack, he didn't make a fuss and sat quietly. Only the expression on his face as he stared at the snack on the stone table betrayed him.

This snack is delicious.

It tastes better than thick rice porridge.

This is sweet, right?

Upon seeing this, Huang Shigong showed an expression of pity and pushed the plate of snacks towards Buyi.

"Eat, kid, you're still growing."

Buyi remained motionless, just looking at Zhang Liang.

Only after Zhang Liang nodded did he happily thank Huang Shigong.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and picked up a piece of dessert, but did not eat it in a hurry. Instead, he handed it to the water girl beside him.

"Mother gave it to you. It's delicious."

Shui Niang gently touched Buyi's head and said, "You can eat it. Mother doesn't like it."

Buyi kept his hand outstretched, "Brother likes to eat it."

Seeing this, Shuiniang no longer refused, took it and ate it in small bites.

So, Buyi took another piece and turned to Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang was the first to speak, "Father doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it yourself."

Buzhi thought for a moment and then started eating obediently.

Huang Shigong nodded repeatedly and said, "He is a good child."

There was undoubtedly a lively atmosphere, and the yard was finally no longer as suffocating as before.

"The imperial examination will begin soon."

Huang Shigong said to himself, "I wonder who will take the top spot this time."

Xiao He added, "That's a little hard to guess. There were many people on the last expedition, so this time there won't be too few."

Huang Shigong nodded in agreement. "Indeed, many of those who failed last time have been studying very hard over the past two years. Add to that the children of some noble families who wavered before, and the competition for this imperial examination will still be extremely fierce."

The two of them were chatting with each other.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhang Liang remained silent.

Huang Shigong and his companions changed the subject and called Shang Buyi to test his knowledge.

"How many words do you recognize?"
