Chapter 63: Encountering a scalper, 200 coins per person

The day of announcing the class exam results arrived again, and Xiang Wenyuan went to see the list in person for the first time.

In the past, because there were Zhu Lan and Liang Zhou, a group of idiots in Class D, he could stay in Class C without any pressure.

But now...

He looked down at the wooden sign on his waist, and the big "丁" character was particularly eye-catching.

In a trance, he seemed to see the badge talking to him.

"Hey, old man, five months have gone by so fast!

I really can’t bear to part with you!”

Xiang Wenyuan shook his head. Why was he having hallucinations?

But he is really a little anxious now.

Zhu Lan and others all passed the T-class exam, which almost caused a sensation in the entire academy.

It's like cutting off the source of the problem!

After the draw, those people who were jumping back and forth on the edge of the T-shaped class were left out.

So annoying!

Xiang Wenyuan rubbed his hair. His grades were nothing. If he was kicked out of the academy, his father would send him to join the army!

Join the army!!!

Is it possible for a human to endure that kind of bitterness?

When I thought about being thrown into the military camp, the group of docile and easy-to-bully students around me turned into shirtless burly men...

Xiang Wenyuan's eyes went dark. No, he had to save himself!

"Dazhong, come here!"

Xiang Wenyuan called over a few of his younger brothers who usually followed him around, and asked them to capture a few students who were usually easy to bully.

Of course, Ding Xiaoqiu was not included.

When Xiang Wenyuan thought of Ding Xiaoqiu, he became so angry that his teeth itched.

This kid has become a completely different person since he started hanging out with Zhu Lan's gang!

Seeing that he not only stopped hiding, but even dared to fight back when being beaten!

The last time I tried to stop him, I was caught off guard and was pushed by him. I don't know when he developed such great strength.

Moreover, he ran so fast that even he and his brothers couldn't catch up with him even after they broke their legs.

However, this is not the main reason why Xiang Wenyuan let Ding Xiaoqiu go.

Ever since the last incident of printing books in the academy, Ding Xiaoqiu, as one of the heroes, has also begun to be sought after by his classmates.

After all, so many people from the academy achieved good results in the county examination thanks to the dozens of compilations they printed in advance.

Now there are often a lot of people around Ding Xiaoqiu, calling him "Senior Brother Ding" or "Senior Brother Ding".

It is no longer that lonely little sheep.

How abominable!

"Listen up, everyone!"

Xiang Wenyuan stared at the ten students in front of him fiercely and threatened them not to write seriously during the exam next month.

"The results will be announced next month. If I see any of you not in the T-class... hehe."

Seeing the students nodding like chicks pecking at rice, Xiang Wenyuan smiled with satisfaction.

"But if you do a good job, I will give you a reward."

After arranging these things, Xiang Wenyuan let them leave. Turning back, he saw Xue Mei standing not far away, winking at him.

Xiang Wenyuan immediately changed his attitude and walked over with an attentive look on his face.

The two walked to a deserted place, and Xue Mei said:

"The latest news is that Qingyan plans to go to Yuxiang Pavilion tomorrow, and he will go there early in the morning."

“Is the information accurate?”

"Nonsense! I'll let you know tomorrow after she leaves."

Xiang Wenyuan's face was beaming with joy and he stuffed a golden hairpin into Xue Mei's hand.

…

In the morning, Yuxiang Pavilion was still the same as usual, with a long queue forming at the door before dawn.

"What's so special about this ice plum yogurt?" an old man asked the young people waiting in line.

He lives on this street and sees the long queues every day. Even at his old age, he became curious and wanted to join in the fun.

"That was something you could only eat in the palace before! It would be worth my life if I could have a taste of what the emperor eats!" There was longing in the young man's eyes.

"You've never eaten it?" asked the father-in-law.

"I'm not that lucky!"

"No, young man, you look familiar to me. Aren't you queuing here every day?"

The young man laughed and said to his father-in-law in a low voice:

"Uncle, do you want to eat?

If you want to eat, it’s 200 Wen, and I’ll give you this seat!”

Zhu Qingyan walked hurriedly.

Ever since Xiang Wenyuan tasted the ice plum curd last time, he went back and told everyone in the academy about it, saying that it was so delicious that it was unmatched in the world.

It immediately sparked a craze in the academy and many people tried it.

However, most of those people were like Xiang Wenyuan, whose families were rich or had some power, and they simply asked others to queue up for them.

She also wanted to eat, but there were no servants in the house, so she had to do it herself.

When she arrived, the line stretched from one end of the street to the other.

Zhu Qingyan was worried and was wondering whether he should come back another day.

"Senior Sister Qingyan, Senior Sister Qingyan!"

Xiang Wenyuan, who had been waiting nearby for half a day, finally waited for Zhu Qingyan and waved to her with shining eyes.

He specially called two servants today and had them wait at the door of Yuxiang Pavilion early in the morning.

Hehehe, I can have dinner alone with Senior Sister Qingyan!

Besides, since he had done her such a big favor, Senior Sister Qingyan would definitely not be lukewarm towards him anymore!

Xiang Wenyuan was walking towards Zhu Qingyan happily, when suddenly a carriage passed by, with a group of people behind it, blocking the road in front of him.

"Junior Sister Qingyan, what a coincidence." A gentle voice sounded behind Zhu Qingyan.

Zhu Qingyan turned around and saw that it was Chen Ziming, who had won the second place in the poetry competition, second only to Zhu Lan.

At that time, Chen Ziming was still a student in Class C, but now he has entered Class B and is in the same class as Zhu Lan.

Chen Ziming has a good family background. He is handsome and has the appearance of a gentleman who is as gentle as jade.

Many female students in the academy admired him.

"Brother Ziming, what a coincidence."

Zhu Qingyan blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

A woman in coarse clothes came over and said with a smile:

"Hey, sir, are you inviting this girl to have dinner at our Yuxiang Pavilion?

Our Yuxiang Pavilion’s ice plum yogurt is very famous. Look, there are so many people at the door, all of them come here because of its reputation!”

The woman was full of enthusiasm, but Zhu Qingyan looked a little embarrassed.

"But, I don't know if this can still be ranked..."

"Don't worry, don't worry! You two are lucky to have met me.

My husband and kids are queuing up in front. Look, they’re among the first few people. You can eat as soon as the door opens!"

Zhu Qingyan blinked, not understanding what she meant.

Her husband and children are queuing in front of her, what does it have to do with her?

Should I give up such a good position to her?

Are there really such kind-hearted people?

Chen Ziming had already understood, "Tell me, how much?"

"Oh, this young man is obviously well-read and has a bright future!"

The woman boasted with a festive look on her face.

"The market price here is 200 wen per person. I'll give you a discount secretly, a total of 350 wen, how about that?"
