Chapter 125 Visiting the County School
Fortunately, there were only a few parents who came to visit the students, so it didn't matter even though Xu Zhichun was very conspicuous with all his bags.
Liang Mingxuan knew she was coming, so he went to the gate to wait after class. Lu Xiaoyue, who was dressed as a man and used the alias Lu Xiao, also followed. She wanted to see Sister Xu. Qin Ningan, who quickly became familiar with the two of them after entering school, didn't want to be alone, so he came too.
Qin Ning'an was waiting for his mother as well, as his mother also said she would come to see him.
"Mingxuan! Mingxuan!"
"Mingxuan!"
Zeng Xiaoyan and the others helped carry the things, and when they saw Liang Mingxuan, they happily walked up to him.
Liang Mingxuan's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
"Sister-in-law! Aunt Lin! Sister Xiaoyan! Third Brother Liang!"
Lu Xiaoyue followed Liang Mingxuan's lead and shouted, "Sister-in-law! Aunt Lin! Sister Xiaoyan! Third Brother Liang!"
Qin Ning'an smiled and quickly called for help.
The shouting made Xu Zhichun and others stunned.
Everyone here is a scholar. He is so promising at such a young age and greets people so politely. Aunt Zhu'er, Zeng Xiaoyan and the others were a little excited. They agreed with smiles on their faces. The gate of the county school suddenly became lively.
Liang Mingxuan introduced Lu Xiaoyue and Qin Ningan to his sister-in-law and others.
Xu Zhichun recognized Lu Xiaoyue at a glance and was secretly surprised.
The women of the Lu family attended the clan school from a young age, and many of them were well-educated. Lu Xiaoyue wanted to attend the county school, but Lord Lu, seeing that she was mischievous at home, simply allowed her to attend. Her disguise as a man was impossible to conceal, and rumors spread that she was the niece of the county academy's president. She lived and ate with the president's wife, and was considered her companion. Everyone turned a blind eye and didn't expose the truth.
Of course, no one dared to provoke her.
When Xu Zhichun saw her, his originally uneasy heart finally settled down. Great, great, there was an acquaintance here, and she was the daughter of the county magistrate, and there was a connection with his family. Very good, very good.
And there is this kid named Qin Ning'an, who looks like a good kid at first glance.
Xu Zhichun was delighted and said with a smile, "The county school is indeed full of talented people. I didn't expect that you are so capable at such a young age!"
"That's right! I think so too!"
Zeng Xiaoyan and others were all moved and admired him very much.
Lu Xiaoyue laughed and said jokingly: "Yes, it's not that there are so many people and money!"
Qin Ning'an is a walking, glittering mountain of gold and silver. If he hadn't been accompanied by her and Liang Mingxuan, he would have been tricked by some people into becoming a money-giving boy.
Xu Zhichun pulled Liang Mingxuan aside and talked for a long time. Knowing that Liang Mingxuan was doing well here, Xu Zhichun was relieved but also worried that the child was too sensible. He gently reminded him, "We are here to study, not to be bullied. If someone bullies you or you are wronged, you must not swallow your anger. You must tell your sister-in-law, okay? You not only have your sister-in-law, but also the village head and others. None of us will watch you suffer injustice. Lord Lu is a good official. At least during Lord Lu's tenure, as long as we stand firm and do things uprightly, we have nothing to fear."
Liang Mingxuan felt warm in his heart and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand. Don't worry about me, you have to take care of yourself too. Why don't you let Sister Chunfen move to our house to keep you company? We can give her family some money. I think Uncle Liang Dong and Aunt Xu will agree."
Xu Zhichun laughed when he heard this: "What a coincidence, I had the same idea. Aunt Liang also persuaded me. A few days ago, Chunfen lived in our house!"
Liang Mingxuan smiled: "That's good."
Lu Xiaoyue also wanted to talk to Xu Zhichun, so Liang Mingxuan had to avoid her.
The little girl had a heroic look between her eyebrows, a smooth forehead, a pair of bright and beautiful eyes, and a smile as bright as a little sun. She looked up at Xu Zhichun and said, "Don't worry, Sister Xu, no one can bully Mingxuan with me around. When I have time, I'll go to the village to play with Sister Xu. Sister Xu, can you take me to the river to catch fish and shrimp? I also want to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits."
Xu Zhichun was a little embarrassed, "Okay, as long as your parents agree, I can do it here. I'll even make you something delicious!"
"Um!"
After a while, Liang Mingxuan and Lu Xiaoyue took their things back. Qin Ningan didn't leave and waited for his mother at the gatehouse, becoming a little anxious.
Just as Xu Zhichun and his companions were about to leave, a luxurious carriage stopped and Young Master Zeng got out.
Just tell me, what a coincidence!
Since we've met, it would be bad if we didn't say hello.
But when Xu Zhichun and the others walked over, before they had time to say hello, Young Master Zeng was stunned at first, then his expression understood and he sneered slightly.
He glanced at Zeng Xiaoyan, his tone mocking, "You're good at scheming, but instead of following the right path, you're constantly resorting to these devious schemes. What's the point? You're just making people laugh at you. Even if you were reckless before, you wouldn't be like this. But now you're becoming more and more devious. I don't know who gave you this advice. As your eldest brother, I'm kindly admonishing you to avoid following those shady people. You might end up losing more than you gain."
Zeng Xiaoyan was puzzled: "What?"
Liang Mingliang scratched his head and gave up. He never understood a word this brother-in-law said anyway! But he was clearly cursing, which made him angry.
Aunt Zhu'er also heard that Young Master Zeng was cursing, and thought that rich people were really unreasonable.
Xu Zhichun understood and didn’t understand: he didn’t understand what was wrong with Young Master Zeng, but he understood that the “unruly” person he was talking about must be referring to himself, right?
Why is she acting so improperly?
Young Master Zeng's sarcasm was even stronger: "Haha, why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Xu Zhichun couldn't help but say, "None of us are pretending to be stupid. It's just that Young Master Zeng is too smart. He said all these clever things, but we are too naive to understand."
Young Master Zeng sneered, "What's the big deal if you didn't understand? You know what's going on. Didn't you come here just to curry favor with Mingzhu's husband's nephew? Do you think that by currying favor with Dou Zhongli, you can get him to speak well of you in front of Mingzhu, and that you can curry favor with me and Dad? Dream on!"
"Who is Dou Zhongli?"
"I don't know either!"
"Has any of you heard of it?"
"Never."
Several people looked at each other, all confused by Young Master Zeng.
Young Master Zeng sneered disdainfully: Pretend, keep pretending! Apart from anything else, he really admires this thick-skinned person! After being caught by him, he started to play dumb.
Xu Zhichun: "If Master Zeng doesn't believe us, there's nothing we can do. We don't need to prove anything. I won't bother Master Zeng anymore. Goodbye."
Xu Zhichun did not explain that they came to visit Liang Mingxuan. Firstly, there was no need to do so, and secondly, she felt it was better to keep a low profile on Mingxuan's behalf.
If an irrelevant person wants to misunderstand you, let him misunderstand. Explaining to him would be a compliment to him.
She didn't say anything, and Zeng Xiaoyan and the others didn't say anything either. They left quickly.
Young Master Zeng was still feeling contempt in his heart.
Just pretend!
