I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 24 The famous teacher has a very good vision
Although Duan Quan claims to be old, his actions are not sloppy at all.

After bowing, the list of selected disciples was read out.

"Gu Tang. Luo Xiao."

"Brother, it's your name! You were chosen by Mr. Duan!" Luo Zhao jumped up excitedly.

Luo Xiao looked in disbelief.He looked at Luo Qianhuai with a confused expression:
"Sister, did I hear you correctly?"

"You heard me right." Luo Qianhuai patted his shoulder with a smile: "Go quickly, sir is waiting for you."

Among the crowd, a young man with a face like a crescent moon had already stepped out.

He was wearing a white fox fur robe with a sky-blue silk satin robe underneath, and a piece of mutton-fat jade around his waist. He had a gentle temperament and a well-mannered manner.

"Disciple Gu Tang, I would like to pay my respects to you, sir." He first bowed to Duan Quan in an extremely standard manner, and then bowed to Lin Congwen and others: "I have met Doctor Xu, Chief Wei Shan, and Mr. Tingzhu."

"Okay, okay." Xu Wei and others nodded frequently: "You are indeed a gentleman, worthy of being the queen of the Gu family in Luzhou. Mr. Duan has such a good disciple, it is a great blessing for his whole life!"

Duan Quan twitched his beard and smiled, obviously in a good mood.Gu Tang stood up and consciously stood beside him, looking into the crowd together.

Luo Xiao took a deep breath and stepped forward.With so many people watching and giving advice, he was a little frightened, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of Luo Qianhuai.

She is just a weak woman who goes to her old house alone to seek justice, but she is calm and steady on her feet.

And what about him?As the eldest son in the family, he is supposed to protect his siblings and support the family business, but where does he have the qualifications to be so timid and fearful?

A real man does not change his appearance when the mountain collapses in front of him, and does not speak harshly because of joy or anger.

Luo Xiao thought clearly, straightened his back, no longer cared about other people's eyes, walked steadily to Duan Quan, bowed and saluted.

To be honest, his facial features and appearance are [-]% similar to Luo Qianhuai's, and his overall image is not bad.But with Gu Tangzhuyu in front, it is inevitable that everyone will talk and compare.

Luo Xiao's posture and manners are not impeccable like Gu Tang, who has been nurtured and taught since childhood, but because of his extra sense of calmness and ease, he is like a spring pines and autumn chrysanthemums, each has its own victory.

As soon as Luo Xiao bowed, he was helped up by Duan Quan himself.

"Good boy." He smiled and said, "Come with me."

Duan Quan held Luo Xiao's hand and was about to take two new disciples to the apprenticeship ceremony, but was stopped by the Crown Prince of Changzhou.

Yu He was originally shocked by the news of losing the election, and he stood aside in a daze. It wasn't until he saw Luo Xiao appearing that he felt that the suppressed anger came out again.

"Mr. Duan." He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a member of the Gu family in Luzhou. Are you abandoning me for this village boy to deliberately humiliate me and your father?"

Duan Quan did not answer, but Xu Zhilin said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Mr. Duan has already stated before that the selection of disciples this time only depends on one's ambition and has nothing to do with one's wealth."

"But I don't believe it. How can such a village boy with poor etiquette and posture surpass my ambition?"

"Etiquette and posture can be learned, but the character of mind and interest are rare." Duan Quan said: "The prince must not abandon the foundation in favor of the inferior."

"No matter what you say, when my son comes here today, he has obeyed the order of his father to invite Mr. Duan back." Yu He said with a straight face:
"Come here, escort Mr. Duan back to Changzhou!"

A group of fully armed guards emerged from the crowd and responded in unison: "Yes!"

At this moment, a clear female voice came out from the crowd: "For a son of the King of Tibet, it is a serious crime to leave the fiefdom privately, but he actually has the ambition to be a great swan. I don't know if His Majesty in Xijing will kill you if he knows about it." As a nephew?"

"Who is talking nonsense?" The leading guard drew out his long knife and led people forward to search around the crowd.

Luo Qianhuai sweated a lot and pulled his second brother Luo Zhao back carefully, for fear of being discovered.

In fact, she regretted it as soon as the truth came out.Mr. Duan Quan has gone through so many turmoils without incident, so she is always needed to steal the spotlight.

"Come back here!" Yu He's voice was pale, bringing everyone's attention back to him.

His face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was frightened by the words of the woman just now.

As the prince of Changzhou, he is usually addicted to sex, but he still has some judgments about certain things. Once he is exposed, he will immediately break into a cold sweat.

Uncle Huang's method of dealing with these matters has always been to give up on things rather than indulge in them.

Last year, the king of Huainan was expelled from his kingdom for slandering his father. The king and his son both died, and his remaining sons were demoted to common people.

The year before last, the king of Jibei was accused by his subordinates of being out of control, saying that his daily attire was beyond the regulations. The king committed suicide in fear of the crime, and all his disciples were executed.
Pushing forward more than ten years, the prince's family, who was taught by his old man, would be killed at will, without any mercy.

He stood there for a long time, then stepped forward and bowed his head to Duan Quan and others:
"Today is He Wuzhuang, and I have disturbed all the gentlemen. I will leave immediately, and please forgive Haihan."

After doing these things, Yu He hurriedly boarded the car and left, as if if he slowed down a little, he would be stopped and questioned.

Duan Quan's eyes wandered around the crowd before landing on Luo Qianhuai's face.

He admitted that he was quite curious about Mrs. Luo, so he followed Luo Xiao's background and took a few more looks. Unexpectedly, he found her to be so transparent and interesting.

His eyes lingered for a moment, he nodded slightly to her, and then returned to the county school with Gu Tang, Luo Xiao and others.

Jiao Yu, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, stood up and said, "Mr. Duan has chosen a good disciple, so let's all leave."

The crowd dispersed, and Luo Qianhuai took Luo Zhao's hand and headed toward the inn.She didn't notice that Mr. Mo, who had changed into a short green suit, was standing not far away, looking at her with an extremely complicated look.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared around the corner that he withdrew his gaze.

"Young Master is really a trustworthy person. If Mrs. Luo knew that Young Master had taken such trouble, she would be extremely grateful." Wei Cang said as he hurriedly arrived.

"I really haven't been able to help you much today." Mr. Mo sighed: "What she just said hit the nail on the head. Even the children of officials may not have such insight."

"So the young master is still not relieved?"

"If we have nothing to do with each other from now on, I will not be considered a villain in vain." He seemed not to want to talk about this matter anymore, and asked: "Is there any news?"

"Yes." Wei Cang took out a roll of fine cloth from his arms: "The wind in the pines is caring, and the moon is caring. Although most of Han Chong's eight confidants have died, they still left clues."

Mr. Mo opened the cloth and stared: "Dong Hehua?"

"Yes. She must have guessed that she would be silenced, so she took the money and left during the chaos and fled to the territory of Kangle County - as long as you screen the women who settled here 17 years ago, you will be able to find her."

"Very good." Mr. Mo put his hands together, and the cloth turned into ashes and fell to the ground: "You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die."
