Yuan Kan returned to the academy and sat alone behind the desk without saying a word. The students below had never seen his husband's expression. Everyone sat there in disbelief, especially Fan Dongcheng and Zhao Houcai.
The two of them had ulterior motives, and they were originally two groups of people who were incompatible with each other. They both went to Liang Chuan to buy the second couplet privately. The two rarely exchanged glances, and they felt lucky that they were not pushed out by their husband to steal the limelight.
Tang Jie and Wen Boyan were still puzzled. When they first arrived at the academy, there was no one in the academy, not even the teacher. After a while, a group of people came back. Even Mr. Yuan Sheng looked like he had eaten dead flies, with such a look on his face. Difference.
The two of them usually didn't interact with anyone else. They just stayed together and did their own things. Today, I saw something was wrong.
Tang Jie was curious, so he looked at the people next to him and asked: "Is Mr. sick today? Your face is so bad. Where did you go just now? Why can't you say a word?"
The student sitting next to Tang Jie laughed sinisterly a few times, then lowered his voice and said softly: "You didn't go to see the fun just now. People in our academy were beaten. Sir, he took us to seek justice, but in the end we didn't get justice." Come on, I was frustrated by someone, hehe!"
"Where did the other party come from, so arrogant?" Tang Jie's true nature as a ruffian was exposed. He loved to hear such tidbits about fights.
"The other party's name is Liang Chuan, who opens a shop in Chengtian Lane. We just made some difficult second couplets in the past few days. Sir, today I made a first couplet. Who would have thought that his effort would be broken after taking two steps, not to mention how disappointing it is. La!"
Tang Jie understood clearly. It turned out that he was causing trouble for Liang Chuan in Chengtian Alley. He almost laughed out loud and said in a low-pitched and sinister voice: "Some people secretly go to others to buy couplets. What do you think?" Yes, you still dare to find trouble for others."
Tang Jie's voice sounded like he was speaking to someone intentionally or unintentionally. Even though it was very low, it still reached the ears of the target person word by word. Yuan Kan was secretly angry when he heard Tang Jie's words. Pay attention immediately.
"Who was speaking just now? Get up and tell me clearly!"
Fan Dongcheng and Sun Houcai heard what they said clearly, and felt cold in their hearts, wailing that they were going to die.
Tang Jie was called and stood up unsteadily. Then Da Dadi told what happened that day in Liangchuan's store without being offended.
Fan Dongcheng and Sun Houcai's minds went blank, and they sat on their seats with dull eyes, ready to face Yuan Kan's stormy fury.
Yuan Kan's face was livid, but after listening to Tang Jie's words, he was ready to open a dyeing workshop. He slapped the desk hard with his hand: "Tell me what happened!"
This person was completely humiliated. Yuan Kan thought that his disciple had a flash of inspiration and gained face for him, but he didn't expect that he secretly went to find someone to buy the second couplet. Liang Chuan was so damn calm that he didn't expose it on the spot. , playing like a monkey!
After Liang Chuan took the children for a tour of Qingyuan County, he came back and asked Xiaochai and Yuzhen to pack up and prepare to return to Fengshan.
He first went to say goodbye to the landlord next door, Bi Zhaosheng, and would not be able to return until next year. Bi Zhaosheng also liked Liang Chuan very much, and he felt regretful when he heard that he was leaving. It was almost the end of the year, and it was inevitable to go home for the New Year, so he no longer wanted to stay. He just told Liang Chuan that he should come to Qingyuan early next spring so that he could have someone to drink with.
Liang Chuan then went to say goodbye to Monk Hongyi. Now the merit box of Yuetai Temple needs to be cleaned two or three times a day. Not many people come to worship the Buddha, but the Arhat's incense almost exceeds that of the Buddha. I don’t know what people in Qingyuan would think if they were offering the statue of the sketch next door. Many young monks came to the temple, and Hongyi himself became the host. Now Yuetai Temple is unparalleled in scenery. Hongyi is also reluctant to leave Liang Chuan. Would he like to be invited by some of the rich and well-off families in the city to perform some rituals and give a lecture? Talking about Buddhist scriptures, he might really want to go to Xinghua with Liang Chuan to see it. He has been very busy recently and it's time to go and get some fresh air.
The store is reserved for sketches. Fengshan is not his home. There is no point in following him back. Everyone wants to see Liang Chuan instead of him as an outsider. It is better to stay in Qingyuan and earn more money, and there are Come on, life is so humid now. You don’t have to do the dirty work, just like a foreman.
There is currently no progress in Qingyuan, and staying there is not an option. Even if there are any promising projects, they have to stop during the Spring Festival. It is better to wait until the Spring Festival and come back to Qingyuan. Zheng Ruoying is pestering her every day now, and she has to go back and deal with the dozens of acres of sugar cane land.
Liang Chuan arranged all the funeral arrangements, leaving Zhao Xiaopin to guard the store while the others packed their luggage and started to go to Xinghua.
The children obviously didn't have enough fun after being out for a few days, but Liang Chuan told them that it is fun to play, but the current task is to study hard. Academics are the most important thing. Be good at work and waste away at play. The most precious time can be spent on having fun. Above, there will be no achievements in this life.
Liang Chuan's words were like an imperial edict. They obeyed Liang Chuan's words. They all stopped having fun, put on their new school uniforms, and happily prepared to go home. There is a small jacket inside the new clothes, which is very warm when worn, and the color is darker, which is wear-resistant and stain-resistant, so it is perfect.
Liang Chuan hired a carriage to load more than a thousand kilograms of rice seeds. He Baozheng was very worried for Liang Chuan. Nowadays, the world is deteriorating. Scammers and thieves are rampant on the road. People's hearts are no longer what they used to be. People in the world can fight for small profits and lose their lives, let alone talk about credit ethics. More than a thousand kilograms of rice seeds can be used to plant nearly 100 acres of fields. Moreover, these are rice seeds. There are no paddy fields in Helu. Could it be that Sanlang wants to buy paddy fields on the south bank?
The group of people walked to the Wan'an River, where Xia Dehai was still ferrying on the river. Good guy, when I saw that there was such a big group of people in Liang Chuan, there were more than 20 people, and more than a thousand kilograms of grain. They were all in high spirits. However, Liang Chuan's group had about ten more children, and one more. A beautiful little girl with a group of followers.
Xia Dehai has long been tired of the activities on the Wan'an River, and now he has become a good man, sailing peacefully, and no longer does those evil things of killing people and stealing goods. He respects Liang Chuan very much. He sees that Liang Chuan is ready for big things and hopes that Liang Chuan can take him under his wing.
"Haizi, you have to endure this for a while. At present, I don't have a river or sea transportation business, but I will definitely have some in the future. If I don't have friends who do this, you are good at sailing. This is a good skill." , people are very brave, tsk tsk.”
"Brother, if you still need someone there, just take care of the food. I'll help you. You can't make much money even if the weather is rough in a day."
"I have too many people there right now. I can't rush here. Just wait here for my news."
Xia Dehai had no choice but to continue to punt here. After four trips back and forth, he finally sent the rice seeds and everyone across the Wan'an River.
Liang Chuan thought to himself that it would be nice if there was a bridge here, but it would take a long time before the great Xinghua native Cai Xiang built a long bridge here that could last for thousands of years and be preserved until later generations.
Zheng Ruoying followed Liang Chuan closely all the way. Shen Yuzhen didn't understand the previous entanglement between the eldest daughter of the Zheng family and Liang Chuan, so she asked Ye Xiaochai directly: "Why is this young lady who has not yet left the court so close to a married woman like Liang Chuan?" , Aren’t you afraid that everyone will gossip?”
Ye Xiaochai smiled and said, "You have chased me from Xinghua to Qingyuan. Do you think you are still afraid of people gossiping?"
In fact, both of them have a good impression of Liang Chuan, but it's a pity that one was born in a prostitute, and the other fell into a thief's nest. They both believe that they are innocent. Otherwise, with their arrogance, they would definitely want to compete for their feelings for Liang Chuan. It's not good to stay with Liang Chuan like this now.
Even a blind person can see what this eldest lady means when she pesters Liang Chuan every day. Is the eldest lady of the Zheng family short of money, definitely not. This is just a rhetoric. The most troublesome thing is that Liang Chuan has a family now, and the artist is still so virtuous. It would be better if she is a bad wife, divorce her and marry again. How is this eldest lady going to resolve this relationship? Is she, a dignified eldest lady, being Liang Chuan's concubine?
According to the current situation, this eldest lady being Liang Chuan's concubine is not a compliment to Liang Chuan. The Zheng family has a great business, and their parents cannot do it. That is the rhythm of wiping Zheng Yiqian's neck with a knife and forcing them to hang themselves. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liang Chuan is not an ordinary person. He is talented in literature and martial arts, can farm and do business, and knows astronomy and geography. To put it bluntly, his future is limitless. Liang Chuan, a rich man from the countryside of the Zheng family, may not be able to look down on him in the future. .
The group hired several carriages at Wan'an Ferry and swayed towards Xinghua. Xinghua has now raised the walls of the county seat a lot. Xinghua itself has a large population, and some of it is concentrated in the county seat. This was because there was no war in the south, so we didn't pay attention to city defense.
Now that the war has broken out, the officials realize that this matter is not a child's play. The scale of the city wall is all built according to the standards of large northern cities. There are city gates, gate towers, turrets, parapets, battlements, and horse paths. This is a lot of work. Fortunately, there is no harvest this year, and no one has done any farming. , are all waiting for the arrival of next year. There is so much labor that there is no place to put it, so the government recruits these idle workers to build the city wall.
When he arrived in Xinghua, He Baozheng rushed back to the village first. Liang Chuan asked him why he was in such a hurry. He Baozheng said that he had something to do at home and left first.
The convoy walked to the edge of the Nanxi River. The bridge was still the same pontoon bridge, but the north bank was actually filled with fellow villagers from He Luliangan and Xianshui. The north bank was crowded with people, all lined up to welcome Liang Chuan back to his hometown. Many people spent money to buy firecrackers. From a distance, they saw Liang Chuan lighting firecrackers happily, and there were also people carrying big drums, beating gongs and playing suonas. The gongs and drums were noisy and full of joy. The momentum was even more lively than the Chinese New Year. Three points.
Liang Chuan was stunned when he saw it: "I've been away for so long. Is there any happy event in our hometown? Whose family is the top scholar? I'm so happy."
Baozheng from the three villages ran over and said to Liang Chuan: "Sanlang, you are back, the villagers are waiting for you!"
"What, this is all waiting for me. How can I, Liangchuan, be so virtuous and capable as to let the villagers work so hard?" Liangchuan looked around and saw that the riverside was full of people, and everyone had a sincere smile on their face. , everyone is waiting for his return, this. . . I am no longer alone, someone is thinking about me. .
