Chapter 992 Test
Everyone turned to look at Bai Cheng.
Bai Cheng blinked and looked at Feng Chenxiang, asking, "How do you know he's not a good person?"
Feng Chenxiang put away his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "It's not from anywhere, it's just a feeling."
Everyone: ...This is God’s feeling.
Bai Shan has found Zhang Jinghao.
He was a student at the Imperial College, while Zhang Jinghao was a student at the Imperial Academy. Although they were both students at the Imperial College, there was supposedly no distinction between them, but that was only on the surface. In reality, everyone knew that the Imperial College only admitted the children of third-rank officials, while the Imperial Academy was fourth-rank, and the Four-Gate Academy was fifth-rank...
People don't say it openly, but everyone knows that students of the Imperial Academy are just a little more important than students of the Imperial College.
So when he saw a classmate from the Imperial College looking for him, Zhang Jinghao happily stood up and saluted.
Bai Shan smiled in return, pointing at Bai Cheng from a distance and saying, "Bai Cheng is my cousin. I occasionally heard him mention that Brother Zhang knows a horse dealer. Several of my friends and I are going to take riding lessons this year, so I wanted to get to know Brother Zhang."
Zhang Jinghao's smile froze. His classmate next to him heard it and asked quickly, "Jinghao, you know a horse dealer? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I came to you when I bought a horse before."
Zhang Jinghao quickly explained, "I do know someone, but we're not very familiar with him. I only mentioned it to Bai Cheng once, but I didn't expect Bai Cheng to misunderstand me."
"Hey, my cousin said that because you were the one who introduced him, the horse dealer even gave him three hundred taels of silver because of you. I thought you two knew each other well."
Zhang Jinghao's classmates exclaimed, "Wow!" and became agitated. "Three hundred taels, isn't that too generous? No, Jinghao, you have to take us to see the horse dealer. My brother wants to buy a horse, too."
"Alright Jinghao, you actually know a horse dealer. Why didn't you tell us? My cousin also wants to buy a horse. You have to give us a good discount when the time comes."
Zhang Jinghao's whole body froze.
Bai Shan said with a smile: "My cousin, I, and my senior sister all want to buy one, so I'm asking Brother Zhang to help."
I originally wanted to make an appointment to beat him up outside after confirming that he was a scammer, but now it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble.
Bai Shan stayed in the Imperial College and developed a relationship with Zhang Jinghao for two quarters of an hour, until Bai Erlang came to him timidly, and then he stood up to say goodbye.
Zhang Jinghao only then saw Bai Cheng's miserable condition today. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Bai Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Shan answered for him, "It's nothing, he was just naughty yesterday and our teacher punished him. He felt bad, so he cried and his eyes are swollen."
Bai Shan pulled Bai Erlang and said goodbye, asking him to take him back to the Imperial College.
Bai Shan found a deserted spot on the road and patted Bai Erlang. "What are you feeling guilty about? Did I beat him up or scold him?"
Bai Erlang said shyly, "You were so hypocritical when you went over to look for him. I thought you wanted to warn him."
"Originally," Bai Shan said, "I had thought about it. I wanted to invite him out and beat him up to warn him not to hurt you. But now it seems that's not necessary."
"We went to gamble on football as a group. Ren Ke also went and gambled, and there was also Qiao Tao..."
"I won't pursue the gambling issue for now. As for the Thousand-Li Horse, did he sell it to just you, or to everyone?"
"Of course, it was sold to me alone," Bai Erlang said, "I have a good relationship with him."
"It's only been twenty days since we started school, how good can your relationship be? Those classmates who had dinner with him just now, they've been together for half a year, but they didn't even know his family was related to the horse dealer," Bai Shan said unhappily. "Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, and you don't happen to be grass near your burrows." Bai Shan said, "I'll trick you into giving me a run for my money. If we run into each other in the Imperial College, we'll just pretend we don't know each other, since we're not in the same class. Even if you know you've been tricked, what does it matter?"
"I'll tell my classmates."
“Who would believe you?”
Bai Shan said, "Didn't you hear what he said today? He wasn't familiar with the horse dealer, he just mentioned it to you! You bought the horse from the dealer, and you paid for it to him, so what does it have to do with him? At most, he mentioned it to you once, and you ended up getting cheated..."
Bai Shan knew what Zhang Jinghao would say next with just her toes.
He was a student at the Imperial College and his family was not poor. Was there any need for him to cheat his classmates out of their money?
Bai Cheng could have just endured the loss in silence, but if he didn't, and the matter was exposed later, the teacher and classmates would only think that Bai Cheng was stupid, and would not think that Zhang Jinghao was deceiving them.
Bai Erlang was stunned. After a while, he said, "You also said that his family is not poor, so why did he do this?"
"Why else? He's short of money." Bai Shan said with a look of disappointment: "Just because he comes from a well-off family doesn't mean he doesn't need money."
Bai Erlang was silent. Zhang Jinghao and Bai Shan knew with their toes that they should trust Bai Shan more.
Bai Shan said, "Alright, don't worry about it. Manbao and I will deal with him. Humph, I took you to gamble, but is this money so easy to gamble with? Think about how you are going to face your teacher when you get home after school."
Bai Erlang was restless the whole afternoon because of Bai Shan's last words. He didn't dare to go out to play after school in the afternoon. He declined many invitations from his classmates and went out dejectedly with his school basket.
Daji met them outside the door and brought Yin Huo's medicine.
The servants of the Yin family were waiting on the side, and Changshou was just one of them.
Yin Huo glanced at them, handed the book basket to Changshou, and said, "I'll go up and talk to them. I'll be back in a moment."
The Yin family's servants stared blankly at their young master getting into the Bai family's car. When one of the servants tried to go forward, Changshou stopped him and said, "You're stupid! Yesterday, the young master asked us to deliver something to the Bai family, and they accepted it. Now they're friends, they're talking, why are you going up there?"
The servant hesitated for a moment before stopping, but he still craned his neck to look at the carriage.
The curtains of the Bai family's carriage were down, and the curtains were also down. After Yin Huo got in the carriage, he took the medicine cartridge and tested the temperature. It seemed to be hot, so he just held it and didn't drink it.
He looked up at Bai Erlang, then quickly lowered his head, looked up again, and lowered his head again.
Bai Erlang said angrily: "If you want to see it, then look at it openly. What are you afraid of?"
Yin Huo then looked up at him carefully, pointed at his eyes and said, "It will be much better if you chill it with well water."
Bai Erlang touched his eyes and looked at Bai Shan, "Why didn't Manbao put medicine on my eyes yesterday?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "You're putting medicine on your eyes. Are you planning to give up your eyes?"
Yin Huo smiled and lowered his head, then immediately put the medicine cartridge to his lips and drank the medicine in one gulp.
The next update will be around 10pm
