Chapter 234 Watch the show
This party can't go on.
Only Wang Lin's eyes lit up slightly. He didn't expect that this fool was actually a local rich man.
Leng Shuyu, who was elected as the head of the courtyard, looked at Wu Haoran helplessly, put the banknote back in his hand, and reminded him, "If Senior Brother Wu wants compensation, he can go and give the money in person. We are collecting money to help Senior Brother Kong overcome his difficulties."
After that, he set an example by taking out five taels of silver from his purse and placing them on the table, and sighed, "Brothers, do what you can."
Everyone suddenly felt relieved and took out silver from their purses.
Wang and Lin also took out a handful of copper coins from their purses and put them on the table.
Everyone couldn't help but glance at them.
"My mother is busy saving money for me to marry a wife, and asked me to save some money outside." Wang Cheng counted the remaining 10 copper coins and put them back into the purse solemnly.
"It's not easy to raise a daughter. She has been unable to concentrate on her studies these days. My daughter is at home and the expenses are a bit high." Lin Yuzan explained with a bitter look on his face and checked the money left in his purse.
Chen Yang, who had just had a big meal at the Lin family, pursed his lips and said nothing, but just glanced at him speechlessly.
Leng Qingyun chuckled when he heard this, "Really? Then Junior Brother Lin has to be more restrained. Last time I saw her disguised as a man and following your father-in-law, saying that she was Gun Gun."
Lin Yuzan was immediately surprised. "Brother Leng, you must have seen it wrong. When has my daughter ever dressed as a man? I don't have any boys' clothes at home."
Chen Yang also reminded in a low voice, "Junior Brother Leng, Junior Brother Wang has a nephew named Wang Gungun, who looks very similar to Junior Brother Lin's daughter. My family used to live across from his house, and we almost made a mistake."
Leng Shuyu was stunned, turned to look at Chen Yang, and saw him nod affirmatively, and hurriedly said awkwardly, "Look at me, I didn't recognize you and I talked nonsense, please don't blame me, Junior Brother."
Lin Yuzan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Nothing, nothing. Senior Brother Leng hasn't seen my daughter very often, so it's normal that he doesn't recognize her face."
Everyone laughed it off and didn't take this little incident to heart.
The dozen or so people in the courtyard had about 10 to 20 taels of silver in their pockets. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to help Kong Xingzhi.
It can be considered as a fulfillment of the friendship between classmates, but after that we will go our separate ways and no longer be on the same path.
After discussing Kong Xingzhi's future, everyone went back to do their own things. Kong Xingzhi's family would come over to pack up the things, and Leng Shuyu would hand them over to his family.
Leng Shuyu counted the silver again and said to Chen Yang who was packing his things casually, "Brother Chen never told you before that you used to live across from Junior Brother Lin's house."
"Oh..." Chen Yang glanced outside and explained unnaturally, "My parents saw that Junior Brother Lin's family was always busy, so they told me not to disturb them."
"As a result, my parents moved in a hurry the day before yesterday and forgot to tell me. I had no choice but to stay at Junior Brother Lin's house. Then he knew that I lived across the street." Chen Yang said helplessly, so he felt embarrassed at the time and seemed quite ignorant of etiquette.
Leng Shuyu's eyes flashed with contempt, he let down his guard, and helped Chen Yang find an excuse, "I think it's because Junior Brother Lin's home is located between Princess Jiahe and Duke Chen, so Brother Chen really can't come to bother him."
Chen Yang looked at him gratefully and felt relieved at the same time.
Leng Shuyu stared at Chen Yang's back and fell into deep thought
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a man in the uniform of the Iron Eagle Guard appeared at the door, looking at them with a stern expression.
"You are……"
Leng Shuyu stood up and looked at the person who had come to him. The person had already come to him and said bluntly, "I am Kong Xingzhi's elder brother, Kong Xingwen. You are the one who is in charge of this courtyard."
Leng Shuyu immediately said modestly, "It's my senior brothers and junior brothers who think highly of me."
Kong Xingwen nodded slightly, with a flash of pain in his eyes. "I already know about the strange things that happened in your yard. My brother... was also persecuted this time. Can you tell me everything that happened in this yard in detail?"
Leng Shuyu was shocked when he heard this, "Brother Kong is saying... someone hired someone to kill Brother Kong."
Then he nodded solemnly and told the man everything that had happened since he moved here.
When Wang and Lin returned from their meal, they saw a tall man with a grim expression walking out of Leng Shuyu's room.
He glanced at the two of them fiercely, picked up his brother's bag, and bowed to Leng Shuyu to say goodbye.
At this time, Wu Haoran stuffed a wooden barrel into Lin Yuzan's hand and said, "Junior Brother Lin, didn't you tell Senior Brother Kong that you need to fetch water for farm work? From now on, you will fetch the water for the academy."
Lin Yuzan looked at this idiot with a hard time explaining, not knowing whose dog he had become this time. He said righteously, "Of course. My father taught me to respect my teachers since I was a child. Since the abbot has trouble using water, I will help him."
Leng Shuyu heard this and immediately turned cold to Wu Haoran. "Brother Wu, the abbot lives here to intimidate Xiao Xiao. We should help him with the inconveniences in his life. Brother Kong was generous and helped us carry water to the abbot without complaining. You became lazy because of this and used it to bully Brother Lin."
He came to Lin Yuzan and took the bucket. "From now on, each person will carry the bucket for one day. If Senior Brother Wu doesn't want to, ask the servants to help."
Lin Yuzan: Here it comes again.
Wang Cheng glanced at his old friend: He said you are a handyman.
Wu Haoran looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't bully Junior Brother Lin. I just thought that Junior Brother Lin also wanted to become the abbot's disciple like Senior Brother Kong, so I created an opportunity for him."
Lin Yuzan couldn't help but glance at Wu Haoran and praised him, "Brother Wu is indeed a man of insight. He can see through my thoughts clearly. But I know my own limitations and have never dreamed of becoming the abbot's disciple."
Wang Cheng glanced at the man who stopped to watch the show, and said in a cold voice, "Why does Senior Brother Wu always make malicious assumptions about others? My brother-in-law just wanted to rush to do it because he felt bad for Senior Brother Kong who was carrying water every day. Moreover, Senior Brother Kong has long been in the eyes of the abbot, and the two of us have never troubled the abbot. We always ask for advice on articles from Scholar Jiang every day."
The people watching the show were all silent. It was indeed the case that except for the two of them, everyone else in the academy had taken their articles to ask the dean for advice.
"Alright, alright, Senior Brother Wu was indeed wrong in this matter. Please don't be angry, my two junior brothers." Leng Shuyu advised like a good man.
Wu Haoran said sorry with a stiff face and ran away.
Wang and Lin both had a slight look of anger on their faces, and they returned to their rooms without paying any attention to each other.
"boom"
Leng Shuyu looked helplessly at the slammed door, and said apologetically to Kong Xingwen who had not yet left, "I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Kong. We brothers and I have a very good relationship on weekdays, but today I was distracted by Brother Kong's matter and that's why I became like this."
Kong Xingwen didn't say anything, but just glanced at everyone in the yard again before leaving silently.
Lin Yuzan retracted his prying eyes and couldn't help but sneer, "This Leng family is really weird. Everyone likes to pretend, from the old to the young."
Behind him were the two people he implied.
Pei Yi arrived when the dispute occurred in the courtyard. He was here for what the two people called "borrowing a knife to kill someone". He asked impatiently, "When are you leaving? Sister Qing is still waiting for me to make a kite for her."
Wang Cheng took out rouge from the bamboo bag and gently smeared it on his face. His handsome face immediately showed a charming smell. He said calmly, "When I am dressed up, you can leave."
Pei Yi: ...
