Nongmen scholar

Chapter 38
Originally, Zhu Mei wanted to use Zhou Liang's hand to teach the brothers and sisters of the Gu family a lesson, so she learned from her mother that they were going to rent a store in the county town to open a restaurant today, so she tricked Zhou Liang into helping her vent her anger. Zhou Liang, who has always doted on her, got angry with her. It might be difficult for her to live in Zhou's house in the future. Thinking of this, Zhu Mei's face turned pale, and she knelt down with a plop: "I didn't mean it, I was just angry for a while , I just want you to help me vent my anger."

Zhou Liang kicked Zhu Mei's feet resentfully, turned around and looked at Gu Xiaobei coldly: "Never mind this matter, but this house is rented by my family to Zhang Xin, now I will take it back if he doesn't run the teahouse, and I will never rent it." for you!"

"What about the shop rent, tables and chairs?" Zhang Xin asked hastily.

"I will return the rest of the shop rent, and I will also buy the tables and chairs." Zhou Liang said decisively. Today, Gu Xiaobei's brothers and sisters made him lose face in front of everyone. He must make things difficult for them. This tea house belonged to his Zhou family, so even if he didn't let them rent it out, he let them eat and drink.

Hearing this, Zhang Xin immediately smiled, and said to Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin: "I'm sorry, this teahouse belongs to the Zhou family. They have the right to take it back. I can't help it. You can go to another house to have a look."

"Don't look at it, you look poor, you look like people who have been poor all their lives, even if you find a shop and open a restaurant, you can't make money!" Zhou Liang looked up and down the coarse linen clothes on Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin with contempt.

"Zhou Liang, you bullied your cousins ​​like this, wouldn't your grandparents be mad at you when they found out?" Gu Xiaobei opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a clear male voice from outside the door.

Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the door, just in time to see Shangguan Shijin standing at the door with a smile on his face. He was dressed in a green robe and a long robe to complement his stalwart figure. His smiling eyes were black and deep, exuding a trace of light, and his temperament was gentle, as if he had descended from an immortal Like, it is unbearable to disturb.

"Shangguan Shijin, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhou Liang's angry voice interrupted the quiet atmosphere.

Shangguan Shijin walked into the teahouse leisurely, with a faint smile on his face: "I'm not talking nonsense, your mother and Gu Xiaobei's mother are sisters, Gu Sanlin is one and a half years older than you and Gu Xiaobei is half a year older than you, so it's naturally you Cousin, cousin, your grandparents are also her grandparents, so you are bullying your own cousin and cousin."

Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin looked at each other. They knew that their mother had a younger sister, but they had never seen it before. They didn't expect it to be Zhou Liang's mother. This Ziyuan County is too small, right?

"I don't believe it! I've never heard it mentioned by my family!" Zhou Liang couldn't accept that these two poor-looking people turned out to be his cousin.

"I don't know why your family didn't mention it, but as long as you ask your grandparents, you will know that what I said is true." Shangguan Shijin smiled.

"It turned out to be cousins." "I didn't expect to see cousins ​​killing each other when I came out." "The world is so cold that even my own relatives are bullied!" The guests in the teahouse were emotional again, and looked at Zhou Liang with more eyes. disdain.

"I'm going to ask now, if you dare to lie to me, I will not make it easier for you!" Zhou Liang said angrily at Shangguan Shijin, glared at Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin, and ran out of the teahouse.Zhu Mei hurriedly got up and chased him out.

Gu Xiaobei and Gu Sanlin bowed to Shangguan Shijin: "Thank you for your help, my lord."

"I dare not, I'm just telling the truth." Shangguan Shijin said with a smile: "If you want to come to this teahouse, you don't want to rent it anymore. I have a good shop for rent. If you are interested, I can take you to have a look .”

"The shops in Mr. Shangguan's hands must be good, so we naturally can't miss them." Looking at Shangguan Shijin's refreshing smile, the haze in Gu Xiaobei's heart dissipated a lot.

"If that's the case, please trouble Mr. Shangguan." Gu Sanlin also hurriedly said, he has been sensitively aware that his sister seems to have known this Mr. Shangguan for a long time. Ask Gu Xiaobei face to face.

When the three of them left the teahouse and were about to get into the carriage, a flash of light flashed in front of their eyes, and one of them had already gotten into the carriage before them.

Gu Xiaobei stared at the person in the car who looked at him with a smile in surprise: "Bai Qingli, why are you here?" Isn't this guy supposed to be teaching in the village?

Bai Qingli didn't answer her, but stared at her lips, smiling meaningfully: "Last night..."

Surprised, Gu Xiaobei hurriedly stopped him: "I don't remember what happened last night."

"Don't remember? Do you want me to help you remember now?" Bai Qingli narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice suddenly became sinister.

"I suddenly remembered it again." Gu Xiaobei gritted her teeth, she believed that if she dared to say that she didn't remember, this guy would really let her relive what happened last night on the spot, and then she wouldn't have to be a human anymore.

"What happened last night?" Gu Sanlin couldn't help asking when he saw that the two were talking inexplicably.

"Last night was so beautiful." Bai Qingli rubbed his chin with a look of reminiscence.

Gu Xiaobei glanced at him, he definitely didn't intend to say that just now!

"Can we go now?" Shangguan Shijin tried his best to ignore the familiar atmosphere between Gu Xiaobei and Bai Qingli, still smiling gently.

It was only then that Gu Xiaobei remembered that Shangguan Shijin was still by his side, and said to him with a busy smile: "He also has a part in the store I want to open, so let him go and have a look together."

Shangguan Shijin nodded, got into his own carriage beside him, the groom left and drove the horse to lead the way.Here, Gu Sanlin also hurriedly let Gu Xiaobei sit in the carriage, and then drove the carriage to follow.

In the carriage, Bai Qingli lazily leaned against the carriage, smiling at Gu Xiaobei who was sitting across from her, making her skin crawl.

"If you come to the city today, is it okay if there is no one in the village to teach? Will you be embarrassed by the villagers when you go back?" Gu Xiaobei shook his shoulders, as if to shake off the goosebumps all over his body.

"What do you think?"

"The folks have high hopes for you. I think they should be upset that you suddenly don't teach." Gu Xiaobei looked expectant. To be honest, she couldn't get used to the fact that the villagers worshiped Bai Qingli almost like a god. Not God!

"Looks like I'm going to disappoint you. Not only are the villagers not unhappy when they found out that I went to the city, but they even drove me here in a horse-drawn carriage." Bai Qingli said slowly, "And I didn't stop teaching today. The kids have copied the Book of Songs fifty times, and they must have memorized it by heart when they go back."

"Is this how I endorsed before?"

"Of course not. The village children are of mediocre aptitude, so they naturally have to recite them through these methods. I have a good memory, so why do I need to copy so many times?"
