As soon as Ma Mingfeng returned to the door, he saw Xiaosi Chunwang greeting him and said with a little resentment: "Uncle, why did you come back? The master gave an order early in the morning. Mr. Ruan is here, and he wants you to come and go to the living room to pay a visit immediately."

"Master Ruan? That Madam Ruan?" Ma Mingfeng didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Who else can it be? It's Mr. Ruan Dacheng, Mr. Ruan. This is the master's closest friend."

"Oh? So it's him." Ma Mingfeng sneered secretly. Of course he knew who Ruan Dacheng was. He was a veritable treacherous minister, and he had no moral integrity or lower limit. Ma Shiying later resolutely resisted until he died and refused to surrender. However, Ruan Dacheng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. When he was seriously ill and he advanced bravely when he was exterminated against the Qing Dynasty, he was very ill and had a blessing that God had the eyes. This person died of illness later, and the matter of loyalty to the new master was naturally gone.

However, Ma Mingfeng also knew that he could not offend Ruan Dacheng now, because his cheap father would use Ruan Dacheng to restore his official position soon after. According to historical records, Ruan Dacheng took out 10,000 taels of silver to restore his official position, but was not allowed, so he recommended Ma Shiying again, thus allowing Ma Shiying to successfully reinstate his post.

Now, Ma Mingfeng’s hand is not enough to say 10,000 taels, even 100 taels can’t be taken out. Why not use this treacherous minister for nothing?

So Ma Mingfeng immediately showed great joy and said to Chunwang: "It turns out that Ruan Bo is here, this is a rare guest. I want to pay a good visit to him."

After saying that, Ma Mingfeng immediately ran to the living room, leaving Chunwang with a puzzled look, muttering: "When did the young master change his temperament? In the past, he saw Ruan Dacheng as if he was a mouse and saw a cat, and he couldn't even hide. Today, he was so happy and ran to pay homage."

Ma Mingfeng didn't care what Chunwang was nagging. He hurried into the living room and said respectfully to Ma Shiying: "Father, the child is back."

Ma Shiying was drinking with a horse-faced man at that time, and talking loudly while drinking. When he saw Ma Mingfeng, he nodded and said, "Luan'er is back? Why don't you pay homage to your Uncle Ruan?"

Ma Mingfeng immediately bowed to the man with a horse-faced face and said respectfully: "My nephew Ma Luan has met Uncle Ruan."

Of course, the man with a horse face was Ruan Dacheng. When he saw Ma Mingfeng bowing, he laughed and said, "No need to be polite. I heard that Luan'er was sick for a while and I kept thinking about coming to see him, but I couldn't get out of here. Today I finally had a chance to come, but I didn't see you. I was thinking about whether I would return empty-handed today, but I didn't want God to treat me well, so I still let me see you. Now it seems that your body is indeed not seriously injured and full of energy, which makes me very happy. By the way, I heard your father say that Longyou took you to Fushe's good friend today. I don't know what the result is?"

Ma Mingfeng said respectfully: "I'm not hiding it from my uncle. I did take my nephew to see Mr. Hou Chaozong today, but Mr. Hou happened to have something to do, so I didn't see Mr. Hou. My uncle had to take my nephew to visit the bookstore and the market. Because I was young and playful, I came late, which made my uncle wait for a long time."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay," Ruan Dacheng waved his hand, not caring at all, but said to Ma Shiying: "Brother Yaocao, I really envy you. How did you say you trained? A virtuous nephew is a talented person but a good teacher, so he knows my family, a dog."

"Brother Jizhi praised me. You don't know my Luan'er's temperament. I was just a serious illness and walked in front of the gate of hell, and then I made a lot of progress."

Although Ma Shiying said this, she was still very happy. After all, this was the first time that an old friend praised his son in front of him.

Of course, Ruan Dacheng could see Ma Shiying's happiness, but his mood was a little affected, so he came up with an idea and asked Ma Mingfeng: "By the way, I heard that my nephew is going to return to his hometown to take the provincial examination, and I don't know when to start? Also, how are you preparing for this exam? It's not that my uncle talks too much, I heard that you have always liked the study of economics before and are not very interested in the Four Books and Five Classics."

Ma Mingfeng hurriedly said, "I know that my nephew has abandoned his studies before, so I have been studying hard recently. Finally, I have barely recited the four books. However, I don't understand the meaning of the words very much. I can only remember them in a hurry and then slowly understand them later."

"What you said makes sense," Ruan Dacheng nodded and said, "Actually, if you have Lingzun and your uncle on the side, you will not be much worse for the sages' remarks. However, literary talent is also very important during the exam. Today, you have nothing to do. Why don't you let us brothers see how your literary talent is?"

When Ma Shiying heard this, he felt a little unbearable. It seemed that Ruan Dacheng saw that his son was going to participate in the imperial examination and deliberately made things difficult for him and undermined his confidence. So he quickly bowed and said, "This, Brother Jizhi, a junior in the junior school, how dare you show off your skills? You are not too proud of him, right?"

However, Ma Mingfeng was a newborn calf and was not afraid of a tiger. He said with surprise: "If you can get the guidance of Ruan Bo, you will definitely benefit greatly."

Ruan Dacheng immediately laughed and said, "It's true that it's Luan'er. He actually understands my intention. Since that's the case, let's start. First, I'll make a couplet, I'll make the first couplet, and you make the second couplet, what do you think?"

When Ma Mingfeng was young, he was also familiar with classical enlightenment works. Since he was three years old, he followed his grandfather to memorize "Sound and Rhyme" and "Li Weng's Rhyme" and "Li Weng's Rhyme" with his grandfather. He was no stranger to couplets, but he was confident, so he said directly: "But with my uncle's question, my nephew will do his best."

"Okay, then I'll let one out first," Ruan Dacheng walked to the window and saw the begonia outside the window in full bloom. He immediately spoke, "The begonia is blowing by the rain."

Ma Mingfeng said without hesitation: "Autumn chrysanthemums bloom proudly."

"Okay! Come again, Yuan Liang's South Window is proud today."

"When will Sun Hongdong Pavilion open?"

"What a wonderful thing, let me say another sentence, March is the best, I always remember the beautiful flowers and willows."

"My nephew said to you, the good times of the year will never be forgotten."

"Scholars cherish their youth, and they are in their prime."

"The wandering son loves the good night, a thousand gold medals for a moment."

"The white bird forgets hunger and lets the clouds come and go in the forest."

"The green mountains are silently watching the flowers blooming and falling flowers blooming in the world."

"Well? This can match it too? Then I'll have a great idea, smoke locked the willows in the pond, hehe, nephew, this is absolutely forever. If this is right, I would rather give you a thousand taels of silver as your Sichuan-price travel fee."

Ruan Dacheng looked proud. He believed that this young man would be very rare now and let him know what ginger is, and that it is so spicy that he is old?
