He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

"Wu De, hurry up! Miss Tan is having dinner with General Yue's family today. I'm going there now."

Da Mao's mother ran in from outside, called out something, and then hurriedly ran out again.

Xu Wude, who was lying in bed, hurriedly jumped out of bed and quickly put on his clothes.

He pulled out a silver dollar and threw it on Xu Damao's bed, saying:

"Da Mao, your mother and father have something to do today, they'll be back late. Take Lingling out to buy some food, don't wander around."

Before Da Mao could respond, he ran out of the house.

As I passed by the Intermediate People's Court, I saw He Daqing holding Yushui, standing in front of Yi Zhonghai's house, gently closing the door.

"Great Qing, what are you doing?"

He Daqing looked back, didn't say anything, and hurriedly ran home with his head down.

Xu Wude shook his head without giving it much thought, quickened his pace, and ran out.

Meanwhile, at Yi Zhonghai's home, Cuilan, who was still sleeping, was also awakened by the noise.

Looking at the messy blankets and clothes scattered on the floor, he reached down and touched the ground with his hand.

He pulled the blanket up to his neck, and his previously satisfied smile seemed to turn into a sorrowful expression as if he had thought of something.

However, a moment later, her face was flushed again, as the blanket kept shaking.

Several low shouts came from inside the room:

"The Qing Dynasty"

"The Qing Dynasty"

……

娄府

"Master Daoist, please sit down. Have some fruit."

Today Zhenhua invited some foreigners to show a movie. After the movie, we had dinner. Zhenhua also invited the Ren family. We should try their cuisine today; I've never had it before.”

The master stroked his beard and laughed heartily, saying:

"Alright, I'm getting old, I'll just have some simple food. You always have to go to so much trouble for me."

Tanya Li also shook her head and said:

"Master Dao, ever since Master Tan passed away, all branches of our Tan family have scattered. We only know two or three people who are our own in this vast city of Beijing. We don't have any relatives at all."

"Besides Xiao'e, I have nothing."

The master lovingly patted Nianmin, who was eating fruit beside him, and said:

"Let's go find Xiao'e to play."

Lou Xiao'e, who was behind the door frame, also poked her head out and shouted:

"Brother Nianmin, I'm here,"

Nianmin also ran over, completely disheveled.

Lou Xiao'e pulled Fu Nianmin over and said:

"Brother Nianmin, the tutor gave me some problems I don't know how to solve. Can you teach me quickly?"

Nianmin ate a segment of orange in one bite and said:

"Tell me, and I'll take a look."

"There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession has its own unique characteristics."

"Pay out silver dollars"

What is the world's largest state?

Laba porridge at the temple fair

What is the longest bridge in the Great Xia Dynasty?

We'll see.

"Confucius is the greatest [expert/master] of our Great Xia Dynasty."

"Old man"

"And this, Tang Bohu, what would you like to order?"

Order roast duck

As Fu Nianmin gave the answer, Lou Xiao'e wrote on the paper with a brush.

"Brother Nianmin, you're amazing! How do you know everything?"

Fu Nianmin shook his head and said:

"That's right, even the instructor said I was a good father but a bad son, a hopeless case."

"Is A Dou the emperor of Shu Han?"

"Yes, last time the instructor sang a bit of opera, and she asked me what kind of snake Bai Suzhen was. I told her it was a local snake, and then she didn't call on me to answer any more questions."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Fu Nianmin with admiration. In the private school, if you couldn't answer a question, you would be punished by having your palms slapped.

On the lawn in the distance, several foreigners hung a white cloth on the wall and then fiddled with a large box.

A thin man was helping out.

"Good heavens, this metal box can conjure up several people on the white cloth with just a few movements. Is this some kind of illusion?"

Soon, Xu Wude learned from his wife, who was helping wash vegetables in the kitchen, that this was a foreign-style projector used for showing movies.

Having made up his mind, he walked to the side and watched with wide eyes as the foreigner fiddled with it.

A moment later, Tanya looked at the darkening sky, led her master and the others to the seats, and asked the foreigners to start the movie.

Huang Ying and Jing Xian were also seeing this for the first time. They glanced at the old man sitting in his chair with his big sword and golden horse, and quietly watched the movie.

Half an hour later, Tanya took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to the leading foreigner, then ordered the dishes to be served.

Xu Wude's eyes lit up when he saw the small yellow croakers the foreigners were getting.

"My God, if I learned this, I'd be making so much money I wouldn't know what to do with it. I have to go ask them."

After seeing the three foreigners walk out of the courtyard gate, Xu Wude ran after them, shouting:

"Wait, wait for me!"

I have a big deal to tell you all.

The foreigner in the lead, clutching the yellow croaker in his arms, looked back nervously at the approaching men and said:

"He told us to wait, but then he said something else."

The foreigner next to him also shook his head and said:

"I don't understand either."

The leading foreigner immediately said:

"This person was right there and saw the gold in my hand. Did he try to steal it?"

"Hmph, look at him, all skin and bones. I could take him down by myself."

The foreigner next to him glanced at Xu Wude with disdain and said,

"Don't cause trouble. The city guards are very strict these days. If something happens, no one will care about us. Let's hurry up and leave."

After saying that, the three of them quickened their pace and started running.

Xu Wude, standing behind, waved with one hand and put the other on his hip, collapsing to the ground, breathless.

"Damn, how did it go so fast? I'm exhausted!"

Looking up at the vanished foreigners, he shook his head, got up, and headed towards the Lou residence.

A moment later, back at the brightly decorated Lou residence, Xu Wude's mouth watered at the aroma of the Ren family's cuisine.

He lifted his robe and dashed into the kitchen.

A tall, burly cook hesitated as he saw the stranger enter and asked:

"But what are the needs of the front desk?"

Hüwood shook his head.

"Are you a guest visiting the Lou family?"

Xu Wude shook his head again, his eyes fixed on the cooked dishes.

The cook gave Xu Wude a deep look and asked again:

"Then what is your relationship to the Lou family?"

Hüwood wiped the saliva from his mouth with his hand.

"I'm not a member of the Lou family, I'm..."

Upon hearing that he wasn't from the Lou family, the cook became enraged and punched Xu Wude in the face, shouting:

"Master, senior brother, this person is either here to steal our teachings or he's a thief!"

At his call, a more robust man and an old man came out.

Hüwood covered his mouth and looked down.

Good grief, I even lost a tooth!

"You... Waaah... I'm from the Lou family... Waaah... I won't let you get away with this!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself.

Then, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, the skin and bones of the body were revealed. The old man grinned and said, "You cunning thief!"

I thought you were a tough guy, with a bit of a Tianjin vibe, but your skills are lacking. At this rate, you could prick someone for an entire incense stick's time and still not draw a drop of blood.

"You two break his legs and throw him out of the Lou residence."

"Yes, Master"

"what"

With a scream, the senior apprentice grabbed Xu Wude by himself and said to the guards who ran over:

"This man is a thief, throw him out!"

The guards exchanged bewildered glances, then took Xu Wude and led him out of the courtyard gate.

"Xiao Wang, you two carry Wu De home. I'll talk to his wife about it, but we shouldn't tell the family."

"He deserved his leg broken; you can't just walk into the kitchen like that."
