Chapter 63: Meet the Mysterious Man Again
"What a joke. Hit me."
Li Da heard Chang Xixi's order and said nothing, also for Gu Rongyu. This kid is too bold. Even bolder than Zhu Youcai, even being a concubine came out. If he didn't beat him to death, he would be considered merciful.
Zhang Xiucai was beaten and felt great pain all over his body. He got up haphazardly, glanced at Chang Xixi, turned around and walked out of the gate of the yard.
Chang Xixi saw him leave and said to Li Dadao beside her: "Go and watch him. Don't let him talk nonsense. I still need to keep my reputation."
"yes."
Li Da followed Zhang Xiucai out.
After everyone left, Chang Xixi sighed and sat down. Qingnan brought a cup of tea and said, "Madam, have a sip and calm down. That guy was just trying to take advantage of you. He was a little outspoken, but you don't have to take it seriously."
That’s all.
Gu Rongyu glanced at Qingnan and thought, he did a good job!
Liang Ming saw the look in Gu Rongyu's eyes that looked like he wanted to kill Zhang Xiucai, and he knew that he couldn't avoid this catastrophe today. That was the young master's woman, and so many people were thinking about her. He had to find a way to kill Zhu Youcai as well to end it.
Just a few days later, the man named Pianzhou appeared again, this time still wearing a mask.
Just a few days ago late at night, Gu Rongyu couldn't sleep and insisted on talking to Chang Xixi, calling her "wife" all the time. Chang Xixi's heart softened when she heard it. His voice was pleasant and low, with a hint of hook, which was very captivating.
How could Chang Xixi remain indifferent in the face of such beauty?
Naturally, whatever Gu Rongyu said was the answer. "Madam, no one has been able to break through the barrier outside the venue for over half a month. How on earth did you come up with such a difficult problem?"
"Why, husband, do you want to get the answer from me so that you can tell others outside? If you want to know, just figure it out yourself. Why bother asking me..." Chang Xixi felt a little depressed, turned over and fell asleep.
Gu Rongyu, however, had plenty of solutions.
As usual, he fed the man a pill, got up and went to the study, and looked through the draft paper organized by Chang Xixi. A night passed, and it was not until dawn that Gu Rongyu came out of the study.
Looking at the slightly glowing sky with a thin layer of pink, it must be another good day today.
He sighed softly and went back to his room.
Whenever Chang Xixi took the medicine, she would not wake up until three quarters past noon. He went back, took off his coat and slept in the inner room. He closed his eyes, but Chang Xixi also opened her eyes. She lay there for less than a minute, got up, and went straight to the study without washing or greeting others.
Looking at everything in the study, she saw that it was exactly the same as when she left last night. Could it be that she was being petty?
Gu Rongyu just went out to go to the bathroom, nothing happened at all?
Still feeling the same way, she flipped open the draft paper on the table. There was no sign of anyone touching it. That was strange... Gu Rongyu must have gone to the bathroom and didn't peek at her notes. That was good! She was just worried that if the question was leaked, her money-making plan would be difficult to implement.
Gu Rongyu didn't know yet that Chang Xixi had already suspected him. When he woke up after sleeping for a while, his mind was full of the questions he had memorized.
He already knows which questions are easy to pass and which are difficult.
I will bribe the waiter later and ask him to reveal the first and fourth questions to him. The most difficult ones are definitely the piano and the weird chess, as well as the excellent articles in the scientific examination. It will take at least several months of sleepless nights to memorize them all.
Moreover, there are examinations to select talents every three years. If you try to memorize them, your head will hurt, and you will have to study hard.
As for the so-called historical background of Pan Zhicheng, his teacher in Beijing had written to him no less than ten times, mentioning it as many as twenty times.
Therefore, he is fully capable of handling the first trick.
It all depends on Xiao Er's skills. Can he get that magic bag?
Ah, sorry for revealing it, Bianzhou is Gu Rongyu. Standing in front of the waiter, Bianzhou glanced at the waiter and thought for a while.
"money."
The waiter glanced at Pianzhou and thought of how he was trapped in the toilet that morning, unable to even pull up his pants, and then had a knife pressed to his neck. "Later, when I pay you, leave me a few easy ones. You know what to do, right?"
Life is at stake!
The waiter nodded repeatedly. He was terrified. Seeing his salary just starting to rise, was it going to be wiped out? He absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.
Thinking of this, the waiter nodded and said he understood and would definitely help later.
So, the waiter came to his senses and handed the bag he had prepared long ago to Pianzhou, and he left with the things.
After walking out of the crowd, Pianzhou opened the brocade bag. The topic inside was not what he wanted, but it was almost the same. They were all about reciting poems.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Pianzhou returned to the door of the teahouse surrounded by the crowd, holding the last piece of paper in his hand, which meant that he had passed the customs.
He took out his final answer and read it out at the door of the teahouse: "Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, a faint fragrance floats in the moonlit dusk, moonlit dusk."
Chang Xixi happened to be guarding the arena when she heard a sound outside the door. This was not the poem she expected to pass the fourth set of questions, but a poem written by a Northern Song Dynasty poet. She walked out of the room gracefully. Today she was wearing a white shirt embroidered with green calyxes, and the collar of her inner skirt was also embroidered with green calyxes.
Her black hair was tied up high, just like a few strands of hair hanging down from her ears a few days ago. The gold hairpin seemed not suitable for today's outfit, so it was no longer worn on the end of her hair. Instead, it was inserted into an emerald green hairpin.
As he walked, his figure swayed with him. For a long time, his hands, which had not been used for rough work, became white and tender. His cheeks had some flesh because he ate well, making him look a little more noble.
Pianzhou was standing there, and when he saw Chang Xixi, he was stunned.
It looks good!
He also didn't want anyone else to touch her or desecrate her. He only wanted to be... those charming thoughts kept popping up in his mind, and the restlessness that was turning around in his mind lightly covered his eyes, a thin layer of lust that was well concealed.
In a flash, "Mr. Chang, we meet again. I am the first one to pass the level, and you always keep your word."
"Of course. It's been half a month since I last saw you. Why don't you come with me to the backyard for a cup of tea and catch up on old times? I also want to know how you managed to beat the level. The questions I designed are ingenious and elegant. If you're not an ordinary person with a keen eye, you really can't crack them."
"certainly."
Pianzhou threw the note in his hand directly to the waiter and followed Chang Xixi to the backyard.
He was very familiar with this yard.
He just sat down with Chang Xixi, and watched Qingnan bring tea and a plate of cakes.
