Chapter 224 225. Cold sweat

Daocheng

Dean Lu Sheng, who brought them here this time, got some question types from other places from other academies. Gu Wenheng locked himself in the room and studied for several days.

When he woke up that morning, he picked up paper and pen, ready to continue his efforts, but was caught by Lu Ping and Deng Yuanhang.

"You've been staying in your room for so many days. If you keep doing this, you'll become a nerd." Lu Ping held Hong Tianbao with one hand to prevent him from snatching the girl from him.

"Tianbao, let him go!" Gu Wenheng straightened his robes and said, "What are you two up to so early in the morning?"

Deng Yuanhang pointed at Lu Ping and said, "I just wanted to come and see if you needed any help today. Who knew that this guy would insist on saying that he had an appointment with you?

I just didn't believe it. You've been busy reading these days, and our dean is watching you. I said he was lying, and he got angry with me. "

"That's because your words were too harsh. You can't take out all your anger on me just because of the conflicts among the older generation. I don't owe you anything.

Besides, what does it have to do with you whether Wen Heng and I have made an appointment or not? Can't I make an appointment now?"

Seeing Lu Ping's rogue face, Deng Yuanhang became even more angry, "Look at him, his face is really the same."

“…”

Gu Wenheng watched them going back and forth, his head was about to explode, "Quiet down, is this why you came here so early in the morning?"

"Isn't that enough?" Deng Yuanhang snorted coldly, "Don't let him brainwash you. They are the most cunning family."

"Just speak nicely, why are you speaking so strangely?" Lu Ping gritted his teeth, "My father gave in to your father, but I won't give in to him."

"Who told you to give in?"

“…”

Gu Wenheng waited until they were tired of quarreling, and said, "So you asked me to watch you quarrel so early in the morning."

Lu Ping, "I almost missed my business because of this kid. My mother knew you were coming to the city, so she wanted to host a banquet at home to thank you for taking care of me."

Deng Yuanhang, "What's so good about going there? It just so happens that our old man knows that we brothers have a good relationship, so he wants you to come over to his house and play."

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Lu Ping glared at Deng Yuanhang. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? He had just invited me and I had already mentioned it.

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue again, Gu Wenheng quickly raised his hand to stop them, "You two should stop making trouble. The provincial examination will be in three days, and I really don't have time to visit you now. After the exam, when I have time, I will take the initiative to visit you."

Deng Yuanhang laughed, "Then it's settled. I'm afraid that after a few days, I won't dare to call myself Senior Brother anymore. I'll have to call you Master Juren from now on."

Gu Wenheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Deng, you are putting me down. I believe that Brother Deng will be able to make a big splash in three years."

"I'm counting on your good words." Deng Yuanhang cupped his hands. Everyone wants to hear nice words. Even if he knows his current situation, who knows what will happen in three years?

He originally wanted to give it a try this time, but unfortunately, he knew his own foundation and felt that if he had more time, he might have a better chance.

Lu Ping sighed, "Let's talk about it after you finish the exam."

Gu Wenheng smiled at them and turned back to his room. Hong Tianbao quickly followed him in and closed the door in their faces.

Looking at the closed door, Deng Yuanhang glared at Lu Ping, then turned around and went downstairs.

Who knew that the moment he turned around, Deng Yuhang was stunned, because Dean Lu and Mr. Wang were standing in the corridor watching them.

"Dean, sir, good morning!" Deng Yuanhang immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. How long have these two been staring at each other?

Dean Lu smiled, turned around and went into the next room, but Wang Buyi stretched out his hand and waved to Deng Yuanhang, motioning him to follow.

Deng Yuanhang turned around and glared at Lu Ping fiercely, then walked over in three steps.

Wang Buyi, "Shouldn't you be in the academy at this time? Why are you here?"

Deng Yuanhang: “…” Can I not answer?

…

The soap workshop started working quietly. There were no firecrackers, gongs and drums, or a big banquet. Only Jin Qianqian gave a few words of encouragement, and then everyone got busy.

"This Jin is really different. She was speaking with a stern face just now. I can't describe the feeling. It's as if we have become two different people." Li Xiaohua smacked her lips.

"This is definitely different. She is not only the wife of a scholar, but will soon be the wife of a juren." Liu Liu's mouth was full of bitterness. They are both daughters-in-law of the Gu family, but the difference is too big.

At the same time, he was secretly thinking in his heart, if the family had not split up, would he not have to do all this hard labor here?

Hong Daya was carrying the molds. "My two sisters-in-law, they are waiting for the molds over there. Let's send them over quickly."

"Why are you working so hard? The seventh brother's wife won't give you an extra penny." Although Liu Liu complained, his hands moved faster.

You know, many people in the village are envious that several sisters-in-law can come here to work at the same time, because apart from them, this entire workshop requires ten people in the village.

She doesn't have to work in the fields facing the wind and sun, and she can also earn an income, so she can't afford to let anyone find fault with her.

"Why didn't my sister-in-law come today?" Hong Daya looked around but still couldn't find anyone, so she asked Li Xiaohua curiously.

Li Xiaohua, "It's just that her daughter-in-law caused trouble."

"Hasn't the family already been separated? What can cause trouble to my sister-in-law?"

"For this job, her daughter-in-law said that my sister-in-law is old and it's time to give the opportunity to her."

Hong Daya, "But it's not like both of them didn't come."

"That's because they've started a quarrel. Anyway, when I left the village, they were still quarreling."

Liu Liu, "So in the future, if any of us wants a daughter-in-law, we must choose one that we like. Otherwise, we will be the ones who suffer."

Li Xiaohua pointed at Liu Liu and laughed, "It seems like you and Lao Si weren't the ones that your mother liked back then, right?"

Liu Liu's face flushed as she carried the mold past Li Xiaohua, "But at least I don't dare to go against my mother."

"Why doesn't sister-in-law go to the workshop?" Jin Qianqian didn't expect to be blocked just after coming out of the workshop.

Xie Ruyi glanced at the large carriage behind her and asked, "Is the seventh wife preparing to go back?"

Jin Qianqian didn't answer, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Xie Ruyi bit her lip and said, "Seventh Old Wife, can you let Xiuniang come in and help as well?"

Jin Qianqian looked back at Butler Fu and asked, "Are you still short of people?"

Butler Fu had come all the way back from Nanfang Haicheng with them, so he naturally knew what the wife meant. He shook his head and said, "No, we don't need any more people. Even if we need more people, it will only be hard labor."

Jin Qianqian walked over and supported Xie Ruyi, "Sister-in-law, having children is not as good as having money yourself. Sometimes you can speak louder when you have money in your hands.

Besides, the work in this workshop is much easier than the work in the fields. I asked them to arrange a relatively easy job for you. Do you want to go in now?"
