After leaving the troubled place of Bianjing, Xu Zizhen's nerves also relaxed. Coupled with the hangover, he slept until nearly noon the next day. He lay in bed for a long time before getting up and ate randomly.
I was about to go to the college to grab some food when someone came from home.
It was Du Jin and his gang who came here. Wen Baer and the others who had the top three skills from Juetang were all here. Xu Zizhen was happy when he saw it: "Just in time, I have a job for my brothers."
Du Jin smiled and said: "Who provoked you again?"
Wen Baer was gearing up: "Whose ancestral grave are you going to dig up?"
Xu Zizhen took a few people into the house and muttered for a long time before going to the academy.
After what happened yesterday, Xu Zizhen found that everyone looked at him differently today. Even the guard at the door didn't care that he was late. Instead, he took the lead in greeting him with a smile.
Xu Zizhen knew in his heart that this was the result of his pretentiousness during the social day yesterday. Now he was afraid that everyone would regard him as a very talented person. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He greeted people with a smile all the way and entered the inner courtyard.
.
The morning classes have been completed, and now it is time for self-study in the afternoon. An old master is sitting at the top, minding his own business while holding a book and shaking his head while the students below are doing their own thing.
Seeing him coming, Gu Zhongchen smiled bitterly and nodded. He was very drunk yesterday, and his head still hurts even now. Yan Zhao was not much better either. He was holding a book in his hand, but his eyelids were drooped, and he was worried at any time.
As if I could fall asleep.
Xu Zizhen glanced around and saw Qin Song and Zhu Shiyang sitting at the other end of the room. Their eyes immediately fell away from him, and then they each read a book as if nothing happened. Xu Zizhen sneered secretly, but on the surface he ignored him, and went to
The master bowed his hands and sat down.
After only more than half an hour, the self-study was over, and everyone dispersed. Xu Zizhen didn't even look at Qin Song, and pulled Yan Zhao and Gu Zhongchen out of the door again. Qin Song and Zhu Shiyang looked at each other, and secretly went out.
He slipped out of the side door of the yard and breathed a sigh of relief when no one else could be seen outside the door.
Zhu Shiyang gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Did something happen yesterday? How come this guy has no injuries at all?"
Qin Song said with a gloomy face: "It seems that someone has interfered. Otherwise, even if we can't punish him, we can give him a taste of it first."
Zhu Shiyang said: "Why don't I go to Yingtian Mansion to find out something?"
Qin Song shook his head: "No need, Mr. Zhong has always been on good terms with you and me. If anything happens, he will come and tell me. But if he hasn't shown up yet, it must be that someone he didn't dare to provoke showed up yesterday."
Zhu Shiyang thought for a moment and understood: "Could it be Zhao Zhen?"
Qin Song sneered: "Who else could be there besides him?" He paused and said, "Forget it, there is no need to go to Yingtian Mansion, but you can go to Taohong Pavilion to ask Cuiyan and have a few drinks by the way."
Zhu Shiyang's eyes lit up, and a lewd smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, okay."
The two of them turned to the main entrance of the academy, got on the Qin family's carriage and drove away, but neither of them saw two people following them quietly in a corner in the distance.
…
Taohong Pavilion is a brothel, which can be regarded as a prestigious one in Yingtian Mansion. Although Qin Song and Zhu Shiyang studied Confucius and Mencius at Yingtian Academy, they like to hang out here whenever they have free time. Although they don't look much alike, they are still among the powerful.
The family is very friendly and welcoming, and you become a regular guest here as soon as you come back.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door, Gui Nu came up to him with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhu, you two are here. The green smoke and plum red have been talking about you two for several days."
Qin Song threw a broken piece of silver over and said with a smile: "Fart, the young master came just the day before yesterday, you pig-brained person remembered it as someone else, right?"
The turtle slave put the money away with a smile and said: "Isn't it the saying that one day is like three autumns?"
Zhu Shiyang still had something hidden in his heart, so he didn't want to fight with the turtle slave anymore: "Okay, you can continue to stay here, the young master will go in and find Cuiyan by himself."
Turtle slave did not dare to neglect, bowed his head and said: "You two young masters, please come in." After speaking, he shouted to the door at the top of his voice, "Miss Cui Yan'er, welcome the guest!"
As soon as Qin and Zhu entered the door, two more horses came outside. Immediately sitting on them were two arrogant men. They pointed at the turtle slave and said, "Hey, that bastard."
Gui Nu's fiery eyes are naturally accurate at seeing people. These two men in brocade clothes and leather hats are obviously dressed as Jin people, and judging from the fabric of their clothes and the two horses, they are definitely not ordinary people. At present, the war between Song and Jin is in full swing, but the Song Dynasty court
I don't dare to offend the golden man, let alone a little turtle slave like him.
"Young man, I have met you two."
The two men looked at Taohong Pavilion and asked, "Are there any good-looking girls in this building?"
Gui Nu was happy: "Look at what you two said, the girl in our building is the most beautiful in Quanying Tianfu, and she can serve others."
The two men got off their horses and said, "That's it. Let's set up a table of wine for the master and find some good-looking girls." As they spoke, a large silver ingot was thrown over.
Seeing that the money was open, Gui Nu immediately took it with a smile and took the two of them in. He was about to take them to open a private room and find some girls, but saw the two of them stopped when passing by a private room.
Looking inside through the half-open door.
"This girl is pretty good."
"It's her."
The turtle slave was dumbfounded. Their vision was very tricky. They chose the red girl in the building, but she was already accompanying the guests, and they were two regular guests. He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Masters, this girl is already here."
We have guests, there are many girls in our building, how about you two..."
One of the two turned around, slapped him in the face, and cursed: "The master is the one he likes, aren't they just two pretty boys, how dare you argue with me?"
The turtle slave was slapped so hard that he fell to the ground. Before he could recover, he saw another one stepping into the room. He chuckled loudly and said, "This girl is pretty good. What's her name?"
The three people in the room were already stunned. They were Qin Song, Zhu Shiyang and the Cuiyan girl who failed to frame Xu Zizhen yesterday.
The man who beat them also followed in, pointed at Qin and Zhu and said, "Why don't you get out? Do you have to wait for grandpa to beat you up before you stop?"
Qin Song and Zhu Shiyang have always been unwilling to suffer losses. Although they were a little frightened when they saw the Jin man, it might not have been impossible for them to let Cuiyan out if they had talked nicely with each other, but these two people slapped them in the face.
, which made them a little bit unable to get off the stage, and since they were young and energetic after all, Qin Song immediately got angry: "I won't let you, what will you do?"
One of the two men stepped forward, grabbed Cui Yan, slapped Qin Song in the face, and cursed: "What the hell are you doing? This is what I'm doing. How dare you steal a girl from me?"
