Chapter 311 Zheng Wei
"You will be busy later!" Luo Tingshan pointed out that there would probably be many Hu people coming to seek cooperation.
Zhu Mingqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I have Wen Baolu."
Speaking of Wen Baolu, Luo Tingshan couldn't help but admire his vision.
He suddenly asked, "In a few days, I plan to take Huai'er to become a disciple. Do you want to go with me?"
Zhu Mingqing was puzzled: "Become a disciple?"
Luo Tingshan's lips curled up. "The teacher we invited back from Jiangnan, Huai'er is now focusing most of his energy on recruiting soldiers, but he has to learn what he needs to learn."
Zhu Mingqing sat up straight and asked curiously, "How many people are there now?"
I heard that there have been a lot of refugees in Guancheng recently, but before Magistrate Wang had time to make arrangements, they were recruited by an unknown force.
The other party's identity could not be found out. I heard that occasionally people would see those people appearing in the city. They seemed to be living a good life and were not in danger of their lives.
Only then did Magistrate Wang feel relieved and stopped investigating further.
Luo Tingshan raised three fingers and said calmly, "Three thousand!"
Zhu Mingqing was stunned!
There were only more than a hundred secret guards before, but after not checking for a while, the population is almost as high as the total population of the city.
"Some are bandits who have become bandits, but they act quite discreetly. Huai'er discovered them by chance, and they make up the majority." Luo Tingshan explained, "Now everyone lives in the mountains and forests and rarely comes out."
Zhu Mingqing calmed down and said, "As long as you feel safe, that's fine!"
Anyway, she didn't want to get too involved in military affairs, even though that was her strong point.
Luo Tingshan suddenly asked, "Can my leg be cured?"
Zhu Mingqing came back to his senses and blurted out "Yes...", then after realizing what was happening, he smiled awkwardly and said, "I think so."
Luo Tingshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, watching her unconsciously touch her earlobe, and said nothing.
"It must be the change in weather. I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past few days." Luo Tingshan coughed lightly. "Do you still have the sachet from before?"
Zhu Mingqing knew that the other person's body needed spiritual energy nourishment, but not too much. She had been controlling the middle dose for some time.
But now we have spiritual honey, how about giving it a try?
Zhu Mingqing suddenly stood up and walked towards the next room.
Although Luo Tingshan was curious, he still drank the water slowly, which was sweet and refreshing.
It's very different from the water I drank before.
A moment later, Zhu Mingqing walked in with a small cup of spiritual honey water that was as light as it could be.
The cup is only as long as a finger, and the amount of honey water is enough to drink in one gulp.
"This is the honey I bought from the capital. It's very nourishing. Would you like to try it?"
Zhu Mingqing asked with the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect Luo Tingshan to drink it all in one gulp, as happily as if he were drinking alcohol.
I was confused for a moment.
Luo Tingshan was filled with aftertaste and felt a warm current flowing through his heart, making him feel extremely relaxed.
"What kind of honey is this?"
Zhu Mingqing asked, "How was your drink?"
Luo Tingshan put down his water cup and praised generously, "Excellent."
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "That's good!"
Before leaving, he also gave Luo Tingshan a small bottle of spiritual honey, which was really only the size of a palm and contained about 50 grams.
"Just drink one gram a day, boiled in water and drinking, it's good for your body."
Luo Tingshan was indeed curious, but he didn't ask anything. He just said, "See you tomorrow."
The next day was the day when Luo Huai became his apprentice.
This was also the first time that Zhu Mingqing heard the identity of the visitor. Zheng Wei was a famous scholar and beautiful woman in Southern Xia who had passed the imperial examination and ranked sixth in the imperial examination in the early days of Emperor Jiancheng's reign.
But later he had a conflict with his superior, was secretly plotted and demoted, and in anger he resigned and returned to his clan's home in Jiangnan to teach.
Zheng Wei is already fifty-three years old this year. He is a well-known scholar in the Jiangnan region and has at least eight hundred disciples.
And some of them now hold important positions.
Zhu Mingqing had only two words to say about inviting such a person to teach Luo Huai: admiration!
Luo Tingshan looked at the house not far away and explained with a smile: "But I have some friendship with Madam Zheng. As for whether I can successfully become her disciple, it depends on Huai'er herself."
The sixteen-year-old boy has a tall and handsome figure and a firm gaze.
"Father, I will definitely strive to gain Master Zheng's approval!"
"Wait a minute." Zhu Mingqing asked hurriedly, "He rushed over from Jiangnan without agreeing to teach Huai'er?"
Luo Tingshan: "I just wrote to inform him about Huai'er's daily writing and study progress. I guess Madam Zheng is also very fond of talents?"
Zhu Mingqing frowned. A fifty-three-year-old man, who was famous in Jiangnan, had given up everything to teach an unknown boy. Although everything was uncertain, he always felt that it was not that simple.
Luo Tingshan's explanation for this was: "You'll know when you meet the person."
Zheng Wei had already packed up early in the morning and was sitting in the first seat waiting for the guests to arrive.
"Master, the people have arrived."
The servant Zheng Shu whispered outside the door.
"Bring in the guests."
Luo Huai pushed his father into the main hall first, followed closely by Zhu Mingqing. As soon as the family of three came in, the door closed.
Zhu Mingqing's eyes fell on Zheng Wei opposite him. His hair was gray, but he looked energetic. When he saw Luo Tingshan, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Senior Brother, long time no see." Luo Tingshan suddenly spoke and slowly took off the mask on his face.
Zheng Wei was so excited that he suddenly stood up and stepped forward: "Tingshan, it really is you!"
When Luo Tingshan was three years old, he and Zheng Wei became fellow disciples. Although there was a huge age gap between them, they had a very good relationship.
When Zheng Wei was suppressed, the Luo family naturally tried to rescue him, but later he felt that he was not suitable for officialdom and left for many years.
In addition, due to the unpredictable nature of the battlefield, the two had not seen each other for ten years.
When Zheng Wei heard that something happened to the Luo family, he was ready to come to Guancheng to take a look, but just as he finished cleaning up the academy, he received a letter from Luo Tingshan.
His eyes fell on the tall young man opposite him. Perhaps there was some kind of aura between people.
When they first met, Zheng Wei felt that the young man was very pleasing to the eye.
"Luo Huai?"
Luo Huai smiled: "Uncle Zheng."
Zheng Wei laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "You've grown so big now!"
"I hope Uncle Zheng can give me some advice!" Luo Huai also chatted for a few words.
Zhu Mingqing didn't expect that Zheng Wei was actually Luo Tingshan's senior brother. No wonder he let this person teach the child.
Just looking at this person's academic attainments and the fact that he has many disciples, it would indeed be a great help if he could become Luo Huai's teacher.
"Sister-in-law!" Zheng Wei also looked at Zhu Mingqing with a smile, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. He had heard before that Tingshan and his wife had an average relationship, but now it seemed that they were still very harmonious. After all, he brought her to see him.
Zhu Mingqing also smiled and nodded.
Next, we talked about business.
The couple went out, leaving Zheng Wei and Luo Huai alone in the room.
