After Mrs. Wang left, Ling Yun's frown did not relax at all. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. It was impossible for the Ling family to spread this matter.
Ling Yun also insisted that the problem can only happen to Wang Po, and there is no one else but Wang Po, even if she doesn't admit it,
The matter has come to this, the most important thing now is to find a way to drive away those people at the door.
Otherwise, troubles will continue and affect him. There are many female relatives in the Ling family, so safety is a problem.
Suddenly I felt that at this time, it would be nice if there was a man like a servant or a housekeeper.
Ling Yun couldn't help but think in his heart, the Ling family is not short of money now, why not buy one?
Forget it, even if I buy it, I won’t worry if he’s not at home, so just wait!
After all, the loyalty of the young man he just bought has yet to be proven.
It’s better to solve the immediate issue first.
"Yes."
Ling Yun had a flash of inspiration, and his plan came from his heart.
"Lingyun Lingyun, I'm here to find you."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
As soon as Ling Yun heard this voice, he knew that the fat man was coming to find him.
"Oops."
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to do what he had promised him.
"Ling Yun, where are you?"
The fat man was as strong as flying and soon arrived at Ling Yun's yard.
At this moment, he tried to hide again, but it was too late.
Moreover, the main entrance has been blocked by him, so even if he wanted to escape, there would be nowhere to escape.
With no choice, Ling Yun could only smile and greet him, pretending to say, "Fat man, are you here?"
Seeing Ling Yun, the fat man stared at him intently, grunted, and said dissatisfied, "Ling Yun, why did you not reply to me after calling you for so long?"
Ling Yun tilted his mouth, touched his nose, smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just thinking about a problem and lost my mind for a moment."
"oh!"
The fat man nodded as if he understood, but he did not let go of his suspicious eyes.
With just a snap of his fingers, the fat man lowered his gaze.
Obviously not wanting to dwell on this matter, he turned the question to the other side and said, "Ling Yun, did something happen to your family?"
Ling Yun's eyes jumped, he looked at the fat man and said, "Huh? Why do you say that?"
The fat man explained, "When I came here just now, I saw a bunch of people standing at the gate, which looked like it was blocking the door."
Ling Yun frowned, seeming to be thinking about something, and said hesitantly, "I can't tell, but you noticed it. You are a lot more careful."
When the fat man heard Ling Yun praising him, he beamed and felt very proud.
It took him half a cup of tea before he stopped to look at Ling Yun and said proudly, "That's it, young master, when have I not been careful? As soon as I saw something was wrong, I immediately came in through the back door cautiously."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the fat man's hand, and asked sternly, "Aren't you being followed?"
The fat man looked at him with disdain, held his head high, patted his chest with his hand, and said angrily, "Of course not, I am very smart! How could I be followed by these little bastards outside?"
"That's good." Ling Yun then let go of the worry hanging in his heart.
Seeing Ling Yun's solemn look, the fat man was puzzled. He didn't know what happened to make him so cautious.
"Ling Yun, what happened to your family?"
Ling Yun raised his head and glanced at him, then quickly lowered his head, gently shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just met some rude people."
The fat man didn't get the answer he wanted, so of course he wouldn't give up. Instead, he pulled Ling Yun's sleeve and asked, "Oh, are you really okay?"
Ling Yun hesitated for a long time, opened and closed his mouth again, obviously thinking about whether to tell the fat man about this.
The fat man rolled his eyes at him and said disgustedly, "Just tell me if you have something to do. Why are you being so coy? If you tell me, I might be able to give you some advice."
Hearing the last sentence, Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh.
I thought that as long as you don't cause me any trouble, everything will be fine. If you come up with some suggestions, I might as well forget it after thinking about it!
If you really want to make suggestions for me, they are probably just baseless plots.
The fat man looked at Ling Yun's faint smile with a hint of ridicule, knowing that he didn't believe in himself, and immediately stamped his feet anxiously.
While stamping his feet, he said angrily, "Ling Yun, don't laugh, but don't look down on others. This young master is very resourceful now, almost as good as Zhuge Liang in the book you wrote."
"Master Zhou, please don't touch Mr. Zhuge in my book. He is the hero I admire the most. Besides, Mr. Zhuge knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. Master Zhou can't go out of the door or the second door.
Is it a little abrupt?"
The fat man immediately retorted, "The sage said: You can know the world's affairs without going out!"
He did not forget to imitate the movement of memorizing the book, shook his head and said, "If you don't go out of the house, you can know the world; if you don't follow the rules of the house, you can know the way of heaven. When you go out, you will be far away, and your knowledge will be little. Therefore, a sage cannot know by walking.
It can be understood without seeing it, and it can be accomplished without doing anything.”
"oh?"
Ling Yun glanced at him in surprise, wondering when did this fat man start to learn to quote classics?
The fat man looked at him proudly, half-smiling but not smiling, as if he expected that he would be extremely surprised.
"Ling Yun, am I very powerful?"
When Ling Yun looked at the fat man, he originally wanted to praise him, but how could Ling Yun do what he wanted?
Ling Yun did not take the bait, but looked at the fat man with a smile and said, "Fat man, do you want to express that a scholar can know the world's affairs without going out?"
The fat man praised, "Yes, yes, that's what sir said. Ling Yun, you are really amazing."
The fat man didn't understand what he meant, so Ling Yun could only say bluntly, "That's natural. After all, no matter what I say, Ling Yun, I am someone who has passed the college examination."
When the fat man heard this, he immediately understood. Ling Yun showed his identity as a scholar and secretly mocked him for not passing the college examination.
The fat man immediately grimaced and looked depressed.
He stood motionless in place, not looking at him or speaking.
After a long pause, he slowly raised his head and said with determination in his eyes, "I can definitely pass this time."
Suddenly something occurred to him and he changed the subject and said, "By the way, Ling Yun, you haven't told me what happened at your doorstep?"
Ling Yun thought to himself that the fat man's idea was that he could change things faster than others.
Just now he had vowed that he would definitely pass the college examination this time, but now he returned to the original topic of the Ling family.
Seeing that the fat man wanted to know, Ling Yun stopped hiding and looked at him and told him everything, "This is what happened..."
After hearing the whole story, the fat man said thoughtfully, "You mean, someone is talking nonsense outside, spreading the news that the second sister is looking for her husband's family, and then those people came here to try their luck?"
Ling Yun paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's probably the case."
The fat man suddenly said, "How about I ask the soldiers to come and drive them away?"
Ling Yun shook his head and did not adopt the fat man's rude suggestion.
If you drive someone away, it will probably affect his reputation, which will do no harm.
"There's no need for this. After all, they didn't do anything extraordinary."
