Chapter 96: Standing Up for Qin Shi

If others knew about this, Young Master Zong would no longer want to hang out in the society. His brothers would laugh at him to death!

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Every family except yours."

Packing up leftover food and taking it home is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. This kid doesn't eat food, but instead thinks everyone is as wasteful as he is.

Zong Jincheng immediately retorted: "Impossible! I have never seen it..."

But before he could finish his words, he heard someone shouting, "Waiter, pack up."

"Okay."

“……”Zong Jincheng sat down immediately.

Damn it, it really exists.

Had he never noticed it before?

Zong Wenxiu smiled quietly, pushed his brother's shoulder and said, "Jincheng, if you really don't want to pack up, we can just try to eat more and finish it all."

Zong Jincheng pouted and pretended to cry, "But brother, you ordered too much. We can't finish it even if we die..."

He just wanted to give Xu Wan a good beating so that he could vent his anger for being bullied for the past few months, but who knew that she had another trick up her sleeve.

The little devil tried to rebel, but failed again.

Zong Wenxiu thought for a moment and said, "How about we ask the waiter to reduce the number of dishes? The kitchen hasn't started cooking yet anyway."

The little devil was a little shaken.

Either you pack up the leftovers to take away, or you reduce the amount of food and get laughed at by the boss.

Since neither of them can escape being laughed at, it is better to bite the bullet and choose the former. After all, it is Xu Wan who is in charge of packing up, and the face-conscious young master can pretend to be completely unaware.

That’s right, let’s do it.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zong Jincheng said righteously: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold, and it cannot be taken back."

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

Can a gentleman's words be used in this way?

Xu Wan glared at him. She knew exactly what the little devil was up to. He wanted to push it onto her. Was it possible?

The food came up one after another, and the three hungry people started to eat. The dishes at Zui Xiang Lou are expensive for a reason, not only because it is located on the best land, but also because the vegetables in the food are fresh, the meat is firm, and the cooking techniques are exquisite, and the taste is delicious.

Xu Wan thought that she could come here more often if she had the chance.

Although her monthly salary of three hundred taels was a bit too much for her, she still had the bonus of one hundred thousand taels. If she got that money, she could eat whatever she wanted anytime in the future.

Big cake, it really gives people hope.

After eating and drinking, there were still some leftovers on the table. They couldn't finish them. The two kids had full stomachs and said that they couldn't finish the food even if they died here.

Xu Wan couldn't help laughing out loud.

The little devil collapsed on the chair, with no intention of moving at all. Not to mention going home, he didn't even want to talk now. He had to wait for a while.

Paralyzed like this, he glanced out the window boredly, and saw an unexpected person.

"Qin Shi..."

Zong Wenxiu also looked over when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Qin Shi? Is he Qin Ye's brother? How do you know him?"

The little devil pointed at the boy who was being held back on the street and said firmly, "He is Qin Ye's brother. I saw him from a distance last time at the North Campus of Hanlin Academy. Don't you have any impression of him?"

Zong Wenxiu shook his head and said jokingly, "I don't have your photographic memory."

Zong Jincheng immediately floated up and said proudly: "Of course, even if I look at him from a distance, I can still remember who he is. At that time, Qin Ye was still explaining something to him, and he just nodded, looking very obedient."

"I guess Qin Shi is a good-tempered person," Zong Wenxiu said, then realized something was wrong, "but is he in trouble now? Look, that person is pushing Qin Shi."

"Ah? Really?" Zong Jincheng quickly leaned over to look, and saw the young man in front of Qin Shi, pushing Qin Shi's chest with his fingers and muttering something, looking aggressive.

"Oh my god, it's true, how could Qin Shi be so easy to bully." The little devil immediately stood up from the chair and ran downstairs in a hurry.

Zong Wenxiu's simplicity is simply astonishing.

Didn’t your brother just say that he couldn’t stand up even if you were beaten to death?

Who is this guy running so fast now?

But his younger brother had already run down, and he was afraid that something might happen to his younger brother, so he quickly got up and chased after him.

Cuizhi asked from the side: "Madam, should we go down and take a look?"

Xu Wan looked at the situation outside the window and smiled, "No need, it's fine for us to just watch the show here. Don't get too involved in the children's affairs. Besides, Wen Xiu is here, so I feel relieved."

Sometimes children cannot take what their elders say to heart, but it is different when they hear words from their peers. They will feel that they are on the same front. Therefore, giving the two brothers more space to be alone will be beneficial to their growth.

Cuizhi asked again: "But upstairs, I probably can't hear what they are saying..."

Xu Wan thought for a moment and said, "Those who practice martial arts have good hearing. We're relying on you, Cui Liu, to be our real-time megaphone."

“……?” Cui Liu was suddenly called.

"yes."

As soon as the little devil went out, he saw the troublemaker pushing Qin Shi and mocking him, "Waste, why haven't you passed the children's class yet? I think you have run out of talent and finally become a mediocre person. If you really can't learn it, I think you should stop learning it. Get out of the Hanlin North Courtyard and go to Qingbo Academy to join your talented brother!"

Qin Shi did not resist being pushed, as if he was already used to it. His body continued to retreat with the other party's movements, but he still held the book tightly in his hands.

The young man snatched the book from his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "You mediocre person, you are still reading here. Can you learn better than your brother? You are a piece of trash."

He was about to smash the book in his hand on Qin Shi's face. At the critical moment, Zong Jincheng descended from the sky, slapped the boy on the shoulder, and said through gritted teeth: "You kid, you dare to be more arrogant than me."

The boy turned around and saw a kid two years younger than him. He immediately scolded him, "Get away from me, kid, or I will punch you in the head."

"Feng Song?" The little devil tilted his head and stretched his muscles, and replied coolly, "Have you heard of the name of your ancestor Zong Jincheng?"

Feng Song's heart almost stopped.

Zong...Zong Jincheng...

The most favored eldest grandson of the Marquis Yuanyang's mansion, the leader of the four little dandies in the capital, the little devil who makes ghosts worried when they hear about him?

"You...are you really Zong Jincheng?"

Zong Jincheng waved his fist and threatened: "Let your ancestor punch you twice to see if you are real or not?"

Feng Song was terrified, but it would be embarrassing to admit it now. He struggled and said, "Master Zong, you misunderstood. I was just trying to persuade a mediocre person to give up studying so that he wouldn't waste his time on useless things."

The Feng family and the Qin family were somewhat distantly related, so they naturally knew that Qin Shi could not possibly know Zong Jincheng, so they just thought that Zong Jincheng was just passing by by chance and didn't know the actual situation, so they dared to lie confidently: "I'm doing this for his own good."
