Li Danqing's upper and lower lips were trembling, his face was pale, and his body was swaying as if he would fall to the ground in the next moment.
The corners of Xia Xianyin's mouth raised unconsciously. She suppressed a smile, blinked her eyes, looked at Li Danqing in confusion and asked, "What's going on, Your Highness? Isn't the Dafeng Courtyard in front of you that the Prince has been thinking about day and night?"
? Your Majesty, why don’t you go and have a look..."
"Look...look..." Li Danqing's voice was a little dry. He tried to force himself to take steps calmly, but his trembling steps almost made him fall to the ground.
Xia Xianyin covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud. Most of the anger she had been holding in her heart along the way was now released.
"Your Majesty, can't you walk?" she continued to ask, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and the smile she tried so hard to hide finally became apparent at this moment.
"Go...you can walk." Li Danqing said, but his body was stiff and motionless.
"Let me support His Royal Highness." Xia Xianyin said softly, then stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Danqing's shoulders, dragging His Highness who was unwilling in every way, and quickly came to the short place.
In front of the wooden door.
Li Danqing's face was ashen, and he was slumped on the wall next to the wooden door. Xia Xianyin, in line with the principle of beating a drowned dog, did not give Li Danqing the slightest chance to calm down the gap in his heart, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door.
Click.
There was a soft sound from inside the wooden door, like the sound of some kind of iron lock being opened.
Then the wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and a huge head poked out of the door.
The man was extremely strong, more than a head taller than Li Danqing, so that he had to lower his head in order to step out of the short wooden door.
Then a body as huge as a hill appeared in front of Li Danqing and Xia Xianyin.
"Are you the dean of Dafengyuan!?" The owner of the huge body lowered his head, and looked straight at Li Danqing with eyes as big as copper bells. The sound in his mouth was like muffled thunder, which shook Li Danqing's eardrums.
Pain.
The huge figure of the guy in front of him was too oppressive, and Li Danqing secretly felt his mouth go dry under the oppressive feeling. He took a step back out of instinct, and responded with a trembling voice: "It's me...
…What do you have…”
Before Li Danqing finished speaking, the strong man in front of him suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Li Danqing's shoulders. The other person seemed to be a little excited. With this force, Li Danqing grimaced in pain and turned pale.
Rows of bead-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xia Xianyin, who wanted to see Li Danqing's joke, also frowned at this moment, and the short knife in her sleeves had already slipped. But before she could take action, there was only a muffled thud, and the strong man stood upright in front of Li Danqing.
Kneel down!
"Master Dean! I've finally waited for you!"
The voice was sad and filled with excitement that was beyond words.
Li Danqing and Xia Xianyin were both stunned, and then looked at the man, only to see that the guy's face was full of tears, and he was crying like a...a three hundred kilogram fat man.
"No...Uncle, let's talk carefully if we have something to say. If you cry like this, others will think that I have done something weird to you. It will be bad for everyone if the news spreads." Li Danqing was a little upset by what he said.
At a loss what to do.
"House...dean...you don't know how long I've been waiting for you!"
The strong man stood up and mouthed
He was still sobbing non-stop, and that sobbing look seemed out of place with his three hundred kilogram body.
The strong man's tone was somewhat resentful, so much so that even Xia Xianyin looked at Li Danqing in a strange way - she secretly wondered whether there was any good relationship with Long Yang among the rumors about Li Danqing.
related stuff.
Li Danqing obviously couldn't tolerate such suspicion. He glared at the big man in front of him and wanted to attack him, but after considering the visible gap between him and himself, he finally put away his somewhat unrealistic thoughts.
He asked in a low voice: "Uncle..."
"Who are you calling uncle?" But just as Li Danqing finished speaking, the big man in front of him stretched out his hand and pushed him hard, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his fleshy face: "I'm only eighteen years old this year!"
When these words came out, Li Danqing and Xia Xianyin were both dumbfounded. They cast their eyes on the big man's face and took a closer look. They saw that although the man was big and round, with a terrifying figure, the facial features on his face were clear and delicate.
There are traces of childishness, and he does look young...
With the ironclad facts in front of him, Li Danqing had to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind and ask again: "Brother, who are you..."
"Me?"
"My name is Wang Xiaoxiao." The big man wiped the tears on his face and smiled naively at Li Danqing.
"Wang Xiaoxiao?" Li Danqing muttered the name, looked up and down at the other party's burly figure, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that your appearance has not fulfilled your father's wishes."
The huge Wang Xiaoxiao scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "My father said that to be a nurse, you have to be strong and healthy. Eating more is a blessing, so I am very lucky."
"Nursing hospital?" After hearing this, Li Danqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tone became a bit frivolous: "I told you earlier! I thought you were here to seek revenge."
"But since you are the nurse, why didn't you come to pick us up earlier? It would be better to get a carriage or something instead of walking to this windy city!" Li Danqing, who knew that he was superior to the other party, suddenly started to play tricks.
Gained official prestige.
"I received the notice that the dean was coming very early. But I have to look at the courtyard and I can't get away. Besides, our Dafeng courtyard doesn't have a carriage." Wang Xiaoxiao responded a little aggrievedly.
Li Danqing looked at the short wooden door in front of him with disgust. It really didn't look like it could have a carriage.
But while he was cursing these things in his heart, Li Danqing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. He approached Wang Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice: "I'd like to ask... Is it true that our Dafeng Academy
Is there no one else except you?"
When Wang Xiaoxiao heard this, he nodded without any doubt, and gave the answer neatly: "Yes."
Li Danqing's face turned pale, but he still persisted in asking: "Where is your father? Isn't your father the nurse of our Dafeng Courtyard?"
"Dead. My father died seven years ago."
"I originally wanted to apply for a job as a nursing home at the Yong'an Martial Arts School next door. The food there is good. They have meat for three meals a day. They also have a monthly salary of two taels of silver."
"But before he died, my father had to let me stay in Dafeng Yuan. He wanted me to wait until the new dean came and pay off the monthly arrears that my father and I had owed over the years, otherwise he would die in peace."
As he spoke, Wang Xiaoxiao took out a crumpled paper ball from somewhere and spread it out in front of Li Danqing seriously. He stared at the crooked handwriting on it and said: "Dean, look at this.
My father has been working as a nurse for our Dafeng Yuan for twenty-three years. Since the seventeenth year, I have not received any monthly payment. I have taken over my father's job since I was twelve years old, and it has been exactly six years and three years since then.
There are ten days in a month. According to the regulations, I get one tael of silver per month. If I don't miss work for a month, I will be rewarded with two taels of silver. I only organized the funeral for my father on the day he died and did not do any other work.
I haven't been late every day, so if you think about it..."
Wang Xiaoxiao was writing, with a look of distress on his face, as if he was unsure of the amount of this "huge sum" for a while.
But the next moment, he took out an abacus from nowhere and started playing it in front of Li Danqing and Xia Xianyin.
"My father's seven years, my six years, three months and ten days... one tael of silver a month, that's..."
"The reward will be one month less..."
After a burst of jingling sounds of abacus beads, Wang Xiaoxiao looked up at Li Danqing and handed the crumpled paper ball and abacus in front of Li Danqing. He grinned innocently, revealing a row of white teeth.
: "The total is one hundred and ninety taels and nine cents and a half of silver."
"I'll give the dean a small change, let's call it one hundred and ninety-one taels."
Li Danqing swallowed a gulp of saliva, and the smile on his face was stiff: "One hundred taels of silver is not a big deal... When I receive next month's tax, I will give you this money... to make up for it.
.”
"Tax money? I heard that our Dafeng Academy owes Yong'an Martial Arts a lot of money. All the taxes in Dafeng City are used to pay off the debt. I heard that it will take a full 160 years to pay off. This year seems to be the first...
It's the eighth year, or the ninth year..." Wang Xiaoxiao blinked and reminded with a harmless look on his face.
Li Danqing's body shook, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched. He held himself up, stretched out his hand tremblingly and took out the document that Zhao Quan asked him to fingerprint today, and said: "It doesn't matter, according to... according to our
According to the rules of Yangshan, Dafeng Court is the first of the five courts, and their fourth court has to pay me monthly money. When they pay the money, I will make up for it for you..."
"Li Danqing, please stop reading what is written on this document..." At this time, Xia Xianyin on the side came up, pointed at the document in Li Danqing's hand, and said so.
An ominous premonition surged into Li Danqing's heart at that time. He lowered his head with some difficulty and looked at the document that he had never seen before. The first line at the beginning of the document was...
It says——
After friendly negotiation, Zhao Quan, the dean of Xia Yue Yuan, has passed on the position of dean of Dafeng Yuan to Li Danqing, a disciple of Yangshan. After taking over the post of dean, Li Danqing must manage the whole Dafeng Yuan well, remember the history of Yangshan, and grow stronger.
Yangshan inheritance. In order to encourage vigilance, the following points are warned.
First, Dafeng Yuan owed Xia Yue Fourth Yuan a total of 378,000 taels of silver. According to Yangshan regulations, the debt would be deducted from the monthly money paid to Dafeng Yuan by the Fourth Yuan, totaling thirty-one years.
It was settled in June, and it is now the seventh year...
When Li Danqing saw this, even though there were more than ten eloquent clauses behind it, he no longer had the courage to read any further.
At that moment, his vision went dark, his neck crooked, and he fell straight to the ground amid Xia Xianyin's exclamation of "Li Danqing" and Wang Xiaoxiao's wailing of "Mr. Dean".
