As soon as Zhang Yutang and his party returned to the Zhang Mansion, Mrs. Zhang asked a servant to send a message to Zhang Yutang outside Yuan Yuan, telling Zhang Yutang to go see them when he came back.
"Old man, my mother must have heard about the scholars gathering to cause trouble this time, and she may be a little worried about me."
Leaving Li Yong and A Bao to stay and clean up the yard, Zhang Yutang took Xu Jiaorong and headed all the way to Yuan Zhang's residence and Mrs. Zhang's residence.
In the residence, Mrs. Zhang's expression was a little heavy outside of Yuan Zhang's house. The incident of cheating in the examination room had spread throughout Qiantang County like a hurricane.
Zhou Bowen, who came second in the exam this time, was so upright that he splashed ink on the spot. His aura filled the sky, and he immediately rejected the second place, threatening to disgrace the scholar and vow not to associate with him.
And when one of his son's songs accidentally missed the top spot on the gold charts, word spread throughout Qiantang that the talented and beautiful ladies, the prime ministers in white clothes, had to exchange their fame for low-pitched singing.
How is this possible? A businessman without fame is still a lower class person no matter how much wealth he has.
Zhang Yuanwai would not allow such a thing to happen, nor would any scholar in the world allow it to happen.
How could the family that was the teacher of a literary saint be a low-class family?
This brings shame to all the scholars in the world.
Zhang Yutang walked over, looked at his serious-looking parents, and smiled casually:
"Old man, mother, you don't have to worry. There is fraud in the examination room this time. Even if I, Zhou Bowen, and Su Dingfang resign as scholars, what will happen? Our articles are so powerful that the whole Qiantang people have done it.
I have witnessed that the names of literary giants, literary saints, and holy teachers cannot be escaped."
"As a role model for scholars in the world, who dares to say that we are not superior?"
Looking at his high-spirited son, who was not affected by the cheating in the examination room at all, Zhang Yuanshu frowned:
"This is my good son. As long as you have real talent and learning, even if all the scholarship quotas are canceled this time, no matter what, as long as you are not depressed and negative, you will definitely come out on top in the future exams."
"What did you say?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at her son who didn't care, and originally planned to say a few words of relief, but Zhang Yuanwai said all the good things, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Her slender eyebrows trembled slightly:
"My son is still so young. You don't urge him to study hard. You also say that he has real talents and will definitely be the best in the future. Do you educate your children like this? What if he becomes proud and complacent from now on and doesn't want to make progress? When the time comes,
You are the one crying."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Yuanwai Zhang with dissatisfaction, swept her phoenix eyes, and said majesticly:
"At this time, you should act like a father, with a sullen face, and give him a hard beating to make him tremble and walk on thin ice. You should know that you have some shortcomings. A bottle is less than half a bottle, so that you can guard against arrogance and impetuosity.
, we will make further progress.”
"lady----"
Zhang Yuanwai glanced at his wife dryly and said: "It was you who asked me to beat him, beat him, and I beat him. You said your son had potential, so I beat him because I was unhappy. Now I don't beat him, but encourage him.
Isn’t it wrong again?”
Mrs. Zhang blushed and said:
"It was then, and now is now. Now I've changed my mind, can't I?"
"It's you who says good or bad."
Zhang Yuanwai smiled helplessly:
"You're acting like this, which makes me a little confused."
"What did you say?"
With her phoenix eyes raised, Mrs. Zhang looked at Yuan Zhang with a smile:
"Speak louder, I didn't hear you clearly just now."
“Hehehehe————”
Seeing the somewhat malicious lady, Zhang Yuanwai quickly changed the subject:
"I mean, Madam, you are as beautiful as a fairy today."
"What are you talking about?"
Mrs. Zhang made a coquettish sound, pointed at Yuanwai Zhang’s forehead, and whispered:
"In this case, you can say it several times when no one is around. I like to hear it very much."
"Ahem--"
Zhang Yutang looked at the two old men flirting and was speechless for a while. Why don't you choose a suitable place and a suitable time for your flirting?
Didn't you see that there is an innocent minor here?
Aren't you afraid of leading me astray?
"Ahem-"
Zhang Yuanwai's face turned red, he looked at Zhang Yutang and scolded:
"You little brat, you don't have any eyes at all. What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of here and read your book."
"Yes, yes, yes, old man, I'm leaving first."
Zhang Yutang smiled thiefly:
"Keep going, keep going. If there is something as sweet as honey and I don't know how to say it, I have a book called I Only Care About You that you can borrow and read."
"roll!"
Looking at the smiling Zhang Yutang, Zhang Yuanwai felt that his majesty must be radiated through roaring.
"Old man, goodbye."
Zhang Yutang ran away with a smile.
"Who asked you to yell at my son?"
Mrs. Zhang was a little dissatisfied.
"If he doesn't yell, he will become smaller and smaller."
"I don't care, I just don't allow you to yell at my son."
"Okay, okay, madam, I will listen to you. Just do whatever you say."
"Huh, that's pretty much it."
…
Xu Jiaorong looked at the happy scene of Zhang Yutang's family of three and was full of envy. However, she was also quite shocked when Zhang Yutang spoke to her father like this. Cherry's mouth was slightly open until Zhang Yutang left the residence with a smile, still
None of them closed.
"Master, wait for me."
Seeing Zhang Yutang trotting out, Xu Jiaorong stretched out her hand to roll up her dress and followed him hurriedly.
"No need to rush, just stay at home and walk slowly."
As he spoke, Zhang Yutang stopped not far away, turned around, looked at Xu Jiaorong running over, and said with a smile:
"Come on, let's go back to the room."
After arriving in the room, Zhang Yutang calmed down and thought:
"Now that the exam is over, it's certain that my reputation as a scholar will not be affected by this incident. From now on, it's time for me to go out and see this magical world of white snakes."
"After this incident, Chen Lun's reputation is not guaranteed. At least he will be imprisoned. I don't have to worry about him sending people to find out the cause of Chen Dashao's death. Besides, Chen Dashao's death has nothing to do with me. It's just that
Wong Tai Sin was just smoked to death by his fart."
"But if I leave here, what if some monsters accidentally come in and out of here?"
"By the way, I remembered that among the talismans, there is a talisman return formation. Although I can't draw 10,000 talismans, I can draw many of them. Before leaving, I drew these talismans and buried them.
Underground, protect your home."
"With these talismans, ordinary monsters and ghosts will not dare to come in easily."
"Among the materials for drawing talismans, it is best to use jade to make talismans. Other things, firstly, are not as fast as jade in guiding spiritual energy, and secondly, they are not easy to preserve for a long time if they are buried in the ground."
"It's just that good jade is hard to find. Where should I buy some jade?"
After walking around the house for a while, Zhang Yutang thought hard, but he really couldn't figure out where in the world of White Snake there would be good jade.
"Sir, what's the matter with you?"
Xu Jiaorong looked at the frowning Zhang Yutang and wondered:
"With the young master's genius, what else can be difficult for him?"
When I think about it this way, I inevitably feel a little curious.
Looking at Xu Jiaorong's beautiful face, Zhang Yutang was about to answer when he heard heartbreaking crying coming from outside the yard, and the crying was getting closer and closer:
"Sister, sister, sister is not good, please go home quickly and have a look, daddy, daddy, he vomited a lot of blood, a lot, a lot, bright red."
Following the sound, Xu Xian ran in, grabbed Xu Jiaorong's sleeve and left.
"What did you say?"
Xu Jiaorong was stunned for a moment, then her face turned white:
"You said dad vomited a lot of blood. What's going on?"
