Time flies, and after the mountain chief came out of prison, he shouldered the responsibility of being a strict teacher.

After all, the provincial examination was coming soon, and Huang Tinghui was his favorite student. The mountain chief did not want to see Huang Tinghui wasting his time all day long.

For ordinary scholars, nothing is more important right now than the upcoming provincial examination.

Therefore, under the personal supervision and teaching of the mountain chief, Huang Tinghui once again entered a state of study where he forgot about food and sleep.

However, Tang Ruocheng is an official of the Ministry of Personnel after all, and he came to Jiangzhe Prefecture this time to inspect the administration of officials.

Therefore, Tang Ruocheng did not stay in Jiangzhe Prefecture for too long and had to return to the capital to report on his duties.

However, Tang Ruocheng did not lose Huang Tinghui's academic attention because of his departure.

He and Huang Tinghui pointed out a place called "Huaguang Temple", where there was a Taoist temple.

There is a Taoist priest in this Taoist temple, and this Taoist priest is not an ordinary person.

This person was born as a top three Jinshi, and ranked third in the imperial examination that year.

This guy came from a wealthy family when he was young. He was a high-spirited and well-educated person.

But later, because his father offended the late emperor, the entire mansion was raided, and the glorious and wealthy family collapsed.

Later, although this man was admitted to the top three imperial examinations, he fulfilled his grandmother's wish.

But while taking the exam, his mother and wife both died of serious illness.

As for the child, he also died prematurely.

Frustrated and disillusioned with the mortal world, this man chose this Taoist temple and became a Taoist priest who had no concern for the mortal world or worldly affairs.

The reason why Tang Ruocheng told Huang Tinghui these things was that he asked Huang Tinghui to go find this person.

Of course, I don’t want Huang Tinghui to follow that person’s example of seeing the world of mortals, or to become a Taoist priest like him.

In fact, although this person is not famous, his talent and learning are first-rate.

If Huang Tinghui wants to make a splash in the upcoming provincial examination, it would be great to get some advice from this person.

"Huang, why did you drag us so far?"

"Do you really want to exhaust all of us to death?"

"In addition to mountains and trees here, there are also a few mountain springs. What else can there be?"

Shen Rou followed Huang Tinghui, the little girl and Lu Qiaosi into the mountains, complaining constantly as they walked.

"I didn't ask you to follow me, did I?"

"You insisted on joining us. Now I know I'm tired!" Huang Tinghui said to Shen Rou angrily.

Obviously I came to study with the Taoist priest, and I wanted to find a quieter place to prepare for the upcoming provincial examination.

Who knew that this woman, Shen Rou, would come over to play with him.

Just follow it!

She is still complaining here, so Huang Tinghui said this to her angrily.

"How could I know..."

"If I had known, I would never have followed..." Shen Rou also felt a little regretful at this moment. You must know that when Huang Tinghui comes to a place like this, Shen Rou, who loves to join in the fun, will never follow.

While staying in Hangzhou, you can have something to eat and drink, and you can also go out for some sightseeing.

It's much better than this place where birds don't poop.

However, Shen Rou was not willing to show weakness. She said to Huang Tinghui, "I came with sister Lian'er!"

"I am doing this... because I am afraid that Sister Lian'er will be... lonely... Yes, I am afraid that Sister Lian'er will be lonely and have no one to talk to..."

Shen Rou told Huang Tinghui while lying.

The eldest lady of the Zhang family who was walking aside covered her mouth and smiled softly. Unlike Shen Rou, she did not like restraint by nature and advocated freedom. She loved the mountains and water in front of her very much.

If it weren't for Zhang Derong's special care for Miss Zhang, how could Miss Zhang have followed Huang Tinghui so willfully, and how many little girls appeared here?

"Sister Shen, please stop saying a few words!"

"If we go back now, not only will we not have any guide, the journey back will be longer than the rest of the journey!"

"I'm afraid I won't be even more tired by then!"

"Besides, there are a lot of big insects in this mountain forest. Jackals are ferocious animals and are very dangerous!" Miss Zhang family reminded Shen Rou as she walked.

At this time, the little girl also took over the conversation.

"Yeah yeah!"

"Sister Shen, there are many big insects and jackals in the mountains!"

"Not long after Lian'er and her husband got married, Lian'er encountered a group of hungry jackals!"

"If my husband hadn't appeared in time, Lian'er would have been torn apart by those jackals!"

"Sister Shen, we are not far from the Taoist temple. Sister Shen, just hold on a little longer!!"

He recalled the memory of being surrounded by wolves and almost being killed by the wolves.

The little girl immediately reminded her.

"With your husband's physique, he is still waiting to rescue you from the wolves?"

Shen Rou expressed her doubts about what happened.

Huang Tinghui just smiled and said nothing more.

After walking for several miles on the mountain road, we found ourselves in a relatively flat open space.

Huang Tinghui clearly saw a Taoist temple in this open space.

"We're almost there, right in front!" Huang Tinghui said to the girls.

"arrive?"

"So soon, almost there?"

Shen Rou, who was still complaining to Huang Tinghui just now, immediately became energetic. She patted her chest and said excitedly, "I just told you, I'm not afraid of hardship or tiredness!"

"Isn't this Taoist temple here now?"

Under Huang Tinghui's extremely contemptuous gaze, Shen Rou walked in the direction of the Taoist temple with cheerful steps.

"Miss, miss, wait for me, wait for me!"

"Miss, please slow down, slow down!" Shen Rou's little maid Juan'er looked at her young lady running towards the dilapidated Taoist temple like a wild horse that had escaped its reins.

She also hurriedly lifted up her skirt and followed in the footsteps of her young lady.

This scene made the little girl cover her mouth and laugh.

"Husband, husband..."

"Let's go there too..." the little girl said to Huang Tinghui.

Huang Tinghui looked around. He had thought that the Taoist temple must be very dilapidated, but he did not expect it to be so dilapidated.

I don’t know if these rich ladies can stay here properly during this period.

With a slight sigh, Huang Tinghui patted the little girl's right hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"

While talking, Huang Tinghui and a few girls came to the outskirts of this Taoist temple that looked slightly shabby.

Compared with the temples that are full of incense, this one looks like an inaccessible one.

Probably the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple originally wanted to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

It is completely different from a monk who actively devotes himself to the world of mortals.
