Chapter 168 169. Greeting
Gu Wenheng thought that the boy would struggle for a while, but he didn't expect that he changed his mind at the moment when he was about to go out.
"Uncle Qi, I will go back with you guys when the time comes and work here for a while longer. This way I can bring back more money."
Gu Wenheng didn't look back, but nodded silently, which was considered as tacit consent!
Jin Qianqian shook her head gently in the room. This boy relied on his cleverness to take advantage, but look, in the end he was still tricked by the senior.

Gu Wenheng didn't expect to see several familiar figures as soon as he climbed to the top of the mountain.
The other party nodded at him in a friendly manner first, and Gu Wenheng also smiled at them, then left in a hurry. Because he had been delayed at home for a while, if he didn't walk faster, Mr. Nan would probably be here soon.
"Do I have to climb up like this every day from now on?" When Shan Ke'an saw the visitor leave, he immediately collapsed on the ground without any image.
Lu Ping also kept rubbing his legs, "Actually, I can help you look after the family, so you can study outside with peace of mind."
Bai Jinglie glanced at Lu Ping calmly and said, "There are people watching at home, and with your fancy moves, if someone really breaks in, how many kicks can you withstand?
Ke'an, your body is not good. Since I brought you out, I will carry out the instructions given by my aunt. If you really can't climb, I will ask Ye Yi to prepare a trekking pole for you."
Lu Ping: "." In fact, it didn't seem that difficult to marry the prefect's concubine's daughter with your eyes closed at that time.
Shan Ke'an: "..." Didn't we agree to come out to seek refuge? Is this what it looks like to seek refuge? This is simply a disaster.
Bai Jinglie ignored them and started heading towards the dean with Ye Yi.
Shan Ke'an and Lu Ping looked at each other, supported each other, and limped after him.
As soon as Gu Wenheng entered the school, he found that many people were leaning against each other. He silently asked Deng Yuanhang who had arrived earlier than him.
"I guess you didn't stretch your limbs or soak your feet to relieve fatigue when you got home yesterday," Deng Yuanhang said knowingly. Although he didn't do these things, it was because he usually had good physical strength and always got up early to train with the escort.
He looked at Gu Wenheng, "I didn't expect you to have such good physical strength. You can run up without blushing or panting the next day."
Gu Wenheng, "..." That's because my wife has a cheating tool. Although it's only for one night, I have been studying with it for several days.
"Brother Deng, have you forgotten? I am also a farmer's family, and I have experienced a long period of fleeing famine, so my legs have been well-trained." Gu Wenheng did not feel ashamed when he said this, but was secretly proud of it.
Deng Yuanhang gave him a thumbs up and said, "It seems this is also valuable experience."
“…”

Nan Wenrui walked in with three people with a stern face, "Find a place to sit! Remember to come on time next time. If you are late, I will not judge you by your status and will not let you in."
Bai Jinglie bowed like a student and said, "I understand."
Seeing Shan Ke'an and Lu Ping standing there in a daze, he secretly hooked his feet and kicked them.
When they came to their senses, they quickly followed him and bowed.
Nan Wenrui waved his hand impatiently and came to his seat, "Now..."
Gu Wenheng silently raised his eyebrows. What on earth was going on? He was a good official son, but he didn't want to be a good official, so he came here to join in the fun.
But Mr. Nan was also quite interesting. He obviously knew the other party's identity, but he didn't give him any face at all and didn't even give him an introduction.
As soon as Mr. Nan left, people around Mr. Bai started talking to others.
Gu Wenheng, Deng Yuanhang and Zhou Ping had all been hiding in a corner, but they didn't expect the other party to not let them go.
"Hello, fellow apprentices! I'm Lu Ping from Daocheng. I heard that you all came from Daocheng, so we are fellow villagers." Lu Ping laughed and introduced himself as soon as he came. "When I find a chance, I will treat you to some hometown food, which will help alleviate your homesickness."
Deng Yuanhang was about to speak, but Gu Wenheng quietly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Thank you in advance, Brother Lu."
"You're welcome. It's all my duty." Lu Ping suddenly looked at Gu Wenheng. "Brother Wenheng is the top candidate in our Daocheng. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet here. This is really fate. I hope you can give me more advice in the future."
Gu Wenheng was not surprised that the other party had heard of his name. After all, they had attended several banquets in the capital city at that time. Although he had never met the person in front of him, they were all in that circle, so it was normal for him to have heard of his name.
"I dare not. Since we are all temporarily under Mr. Nan's name, this is our greatest fate. Let's discuss it together in the future."
“…”
After a lot of back and forth, they finally got the man away. Deng Yuanhang couldn't hold back any longer, "Did you know him before?"
Gu Wenheng did not hide anything and simply recounted what happened outside Daocheng before, "That Bai guy should not be a simple person. If I am not mistaken, he should be the newly promoted heir of Wu'an Marquis."
Ever since he decided to take this path, Gu Wenheng has been quietly collecting some information, connecting some clues together, and he can guess something.
"Really?" Zhou Ping looked at Gu Wenheng excitedly. This was the most prominent nobleman he had ever met.
Deng Yuanhang, "So what if it's true? We are just scholars after all. If we weren't here with Mr. Nan, he probably wouldn't even look at us."
Gu Wenheng didn't expect Deng Yuanhang to be so indifferent. This was not like his usual style.
Perhaps noticing Gu Wenheng's puzzled look, Deng Yuanhang stopped talking.
"But no matter what, we are classmates now," Zhou Ping was still a little excited. He even stood up and slowly moved towards the small group of Bai Jinglie and his group.
"You shouldn't have reminded me just now," Deng Yuanhang looked at Zhou Ping worriedly.
Gu Wenheng, "Even if I don't say it now, do you think this can be avoided?"
He just didn't believe that Deng Yuanhang couldn't see that Senior Brother Zhou was restless during this period.
Now is a good time to lay the foundation and make more connections. If you really have a chance to succeed in the future, these will be your best trump cards.
In the past, the three of them always traveled together, and basically did everything together. But since the moment everyone started to live their own lives, Gu Wenheng could vaguely sense a slight estrangement from Zhou Ping.
Deng Yuanhang was silent for a while before he reminded calmly, "The Wu'an Marquis' Mansion is not easy to deal with. Try to avoid it in the future."
Gu Wenheng had not originally thought of using his humble status as a scholar to build relationships, but he had a good impression of Lu Ping, who had just come over to say hello.
