Chapter 665 Zhang Liangchuan: (?д?； ), this is not right
The aunt in yellow walked over slowly, her eyes wandering for a moment over the broken pieces of porcelain bowls on the ground, before finally settling on the anxious faces of the six little ones.
She laughed coldly and said, "I remember just mentioning to Princess Le'an that if the bowl is broken again, we can only change it to a bigger bowl. I guess the four girls didn't hear it."
Yan Ke suddenly became anxious and quickly explained: "Aunt, it's Zhang Nishang..."
Before she could finish her words, the aunt in yellow raised her hand to interrupt her.
"No need to explain. If you can't even protect your own bowl, don't blame others for destroying it." The aunt in yellow said in an ice-cold voice, without a trace of warmth.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ke glared at Zhang Nishang indignantly, then pursed her lips and said no more.
The punished team also changed accordingly. The punishment for the four children who lost their bowls was doubled. Not only did they have to balance the bowl, but they also had to hold a bowl full of water between their hands.
The aunt in yellow used a ruler to adjust them to a dignified posture and warned them: "The four girls must protect their bowls well. If you break them again, the punishment tomorrow will be more severe."
After saying this, she glanced gently to the other side of the corridor, where stood Xiao Yining and Liu Zhenying, who had escaped the disaster.
The two little ones were frightened by the warning look, and quickly stood up straight and straight, like good kids, without looking around.
The aunt in yellow had an intriguing smile on her face and walked away again.
The two little ones didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the figure of the aunt in yellow completely disappeared. They held the bowls with lingering fear, turned their heads slightly, and exchanged frightened glances.
At this time, they heard Zhang Nishang's apology: "Sister Yan Ke, I'm sorry, I was frightened by my aunt's figure just now, I didn't mean to bump into you."
Yan Ke stiffened his neck and cursed, "How dare you cry? You can't even tip off the enemy. I have never seen anyone as stupid as you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Nishang started crying out of guilt, making low sobbing sounds.
Yan Ke's face showed even more annoyance, and he wanted to scold her again.
Liu Zhenying quickly interrupted: "Sister Yan Ke, why didn't you come with Master Yan today? If you came together, Aunt Lian might not punish you."
Yan Ke slowly turned his eyes, squinted at her, and said sarcastically: "Sister Liu, do you think that by doing these despicable actions to cover up your mistakes, you can write off your mistakes and everything will be fine?"
Liu Zhenying: …
Xiao Yining's eyes moved between them, and she couldn't help but complain inwardly: When Sister Yan Ke gets angry, she is just as angry as the Aunt in yellow just now.
No one dared to mess with Yan Ke when he was angry.
Liu Zhenying smiled awkwardly and stood up again, saying something else: "If we stand here like this for an hour, I'm afraid our legs will be broken, and we will have to ask the maid to carry us back later."
Xiao Yining: (?????)?, Oh, isn’t this the best excuse to go to Shouyaotang?
The little kid immediately responded, "Sister Liu, once I'm standing up, I'll go to Shouyaotang and ask Sister Qiuyi to bring you medicine to cure your leg weakness."
Everyone:...
Cui Zhiyao thanked him speechlessly: "Thank you for your kindness, Princess Sister. You just need to ask Qiu Yi to give each of us a bottle of muscle-relaxing medicine."
"Okay!" Xiao Yining raised the bowl and nodded, then put the bowl back on his head.
This scene made the older sisters who were punished feel sad and envious, and their eyes became red again.
The six little ones finally quieted down and behaved as an example to others.
On the other side, outside the study where Grand Secretary Chiang worked, three people were standing in a row, being saluted by passers-by.
Zhang Liangchuan held up the long bench and glanced sideways at the two brothers beside him. Both of them had no expression on their faces, but their eyes revealed a deep resentment that was not concealed.
He smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "It's a coincidence today. I didn't expect that Brother Wang and Brother Lin would also be late. They also didn't have time to finish their homework like me."
"But it doesn't matter. The three of us will be punished together, and cleaning the toilet will be quick. Brother Wang and Brother Lin don't have to worry about affecting their studies."
Yunfei Academy’s punishment for late students was simple and crude. They only had to get up early every day, carry the collected night incense to the foot of the mountain, and then clean the toilet.
The only difficulty is that there are too many toilets in Yunfei Academy, and they need to be kept clean for ten days.
Wang and Lin were upset because of the punishment and were too lazy to pretend to be nice. They glanced at Zhang Liangchuan's innocent smile and then looked away impatiently.
Zhang Liangchuan was unaware and continued chattering, "I don't know what happened to my Nichang. I heard that the Imperial Girls' School is very strict with latecomers. It's also my eldest brother's fault that his steward didn't know how to choose the time. He actually sent the local specialties to our house when we were leaving, which delayed us."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two of them again, and seeing that they had no reaction, he changed the topic that they must be interested in.
"Speaking of last night, it is really puzzling. The important things in the mansion of Duke Chen were stolen, but General Chen did not report it to the police or search secretly, but went directly to General Zhenbei. If my father had not heard the news and brought people to stop it in time, and immediately reported it to the emperor, I really don't know what the situation would be if these two people started fighting."
At this point, his voice became even lower, and he whispered, "General Chen was summoned to the palace last night. The emperor asked him what was stolen, and he said it was a relic left by his mother. My father said that General Chen's actions were clearly deceiving the emperor. The emperor must have known it in his heart, but he didn't investigate it further. Instead, Duke Chen dragged his injured body over and gave him a lesson."
This time, Wang and Lin reacted. After looking at each other, they both turned their heads to look at him.
Seeing this, Zhang Liangchuan moved closer to them and spoke more excitedly: "General Zhenbei left early last night and didn't know what happened next. Duke Chen knelt in front of the emperor for a long time, tears streaming down his face, saying that he was ashamed of the late emperor and begged the emperor to take back the golden whip bestowed by the emperor and spare General Chen's life. The emperor...actually agreed."
After saying that, he threw a wink that said, "You should understand."
Wang and Lin suddenly felt a chill and withdrew their gazes. After a quick eye contact, they stood in the corner again as if nothing had happened.
Zhang Liangchuan was reluctant to get a response, and he was eager to share the big news, so he took the initiative to ask: "Brother Wang, Brother Lin, in your opinion, what did General Chen do wrong that he needed Duke Chen to save his life?"
Wang Cheng, who was closest to him, had a look of helplessness in his eyes. He turned his head and whispered to him, "Brother Liangchuan, if you have the leisure to speculate on what others have done, why don't you go and warn your eldest brother?"
"After the probation period is over, you have to wait until the first month of the year to return to the capital to report on your duties. Your elder brother is so impatient that he has to leave his local government affairs behind and return to the capital. Be careful that the people in the Inspection Office will find out and report it to the emperor, who will sentence your elder brother to exile three thousand miles away."
"Or maybe he has outstanding political achievements, but was evaluated as poor during the pilgrimage inspection, and from then on he could only serve as a minor official with little time."
Zhang Liangchuan: =????(??? ????), how did this person know that? He didn’t say anything!
The blood drained from the young man's face and his mind was in a mess. He couldn't think straight and had no idea how he had leaked the secret.
Just at this moment, the abbot Lian Chen found this place.
He glanced at the three people with a complicated expression, sighed, and said to Lin Yuzan: "Lin Yuzan, my sister just sent me a message saying that you want to take the punishment for Princess Le'an. Is this true?"
Lin Yuzan quickly put down the bamboo bag, bowed and replied: "Master, it is true. I was visiting a friend this morning and was delayed, which made my daughter late. It is my fault and I will be punished."
Lian Chen was so impressed when he heard this that he stroked his beard, nodded, and praised, "Confucius said: If a person is upright, he will act accordingly without being told. You are a good father, but you are still young and you are not thorough enough in your work."
Then, he pondered for a moment and continued, "Since you have your reasons, and I am not unreasonable, I will forgive you the punishment for your mistakes. Don't do this next time, remember. I will go to Zhixue and let them know, and I will halve your and Wang Cheng's punishments."
Wang and Lin were overjoyed and bowed repeatedly to express their gratitude.
This scene made the young man standing by dumbfounded.
Zhang Liangchuan: (⊙_⊙), is it still possible?
He hurried forward, bowed to Lian Chen and said, "Dean, my niece Zhang Nishang was also late because of me. Can I take the punishment she received?"
Unexpectedly, the abbot who had been so friendly to Wang and Lin just now immediately lost his good expression.
He stared at Zhang Liangchuan solemnly and scolded him, "As the saying goes, what goes up must go down. Mr. Zhang is used to taking advantage of others. No wonder your niece is afraid of punishment and makes excuses. You really should be punished."
Zhang Liangchuan: Σ(っ °Д °；)っ, didn’t Nishang tell her aunt as he said?
Wang and Lin: (￣_￣|||), when will this guy learn to shut up!
