Houfu Key Class

Chapter 48 Jin Cheng offers a reward of five hundred taels

With the five hundred taels of thank-you money from Zong Jincheng, the students in the academy went crazy!

The students who were originally in a hurry to go home did not go home, and even called the servants to pick up people to go into the academy to look for them!

Qingbo Academy was shocked.

Not to mention the students went crazy, even the teachers went crazy, and the whole academy started to help look for him!

"Hurry, hurry, go to the examination room where Zong Wenxiu stayed. He spent the longest time there. He must have lost it there!"

"Okay, okay, let's go right away... Master, no, there are too many people looking for him in that examination room. We can't squeeze in!"

"We have to squeeze in even if we can't. That's five hundred taels of silver!!!"

"By the way, we have to look in the toilet. He must have been there today!"

"And on the way to the examination room!"

"We have to look on the way from the academy to his home!"

"And near his carriage!"

"Can we go into his carriage and take a look?"

"..."

After Qin Ye finished the exam, he was called away by the dean for a talk. He asked him how he performed in the joint exam of the four colleges.

He didn't like anyone who could disturb his study, including the dean, so he just hummed and changed the subject. By the way, he mentioned the matter of changing shifts. It was not until the dean agreed that he felt that the time of this trip was not wasted.

As a result, as soon as he came out of the dean's place, he was almost squeezed by the chaotic students and could not get out. Qin Ye's already cold face became even uglier, "What are you doing?"

The servant behind him helped him push away the people blocking the way in front of him, and explained: "Sir, it was Master Zong Wenxiu of the Marquis' Mansion who lost his jade pendant. His brother Zong Jincheng offered a reward of 500 taels for everyone to help find it."

Qin Ye: "..." A magical operation like a bump on the head.

He continued to walk forward with a gloomy face, and his impression of the two names was obviously worse.

He was delayed from reading at least three pages of the book.

Zong Jincheng was busy looking for the jade pendant and didn't meet Qin Ye at all. Otherwise, if he saw him, he would definitely make a few sarcastic remarks.

And Qin Ye himself has not yet matched him with the name Zong Jincheng.

"Found it! I found it!!!"

"The five hundred taels are mine!! Hahaha! It's mine!!"

"Oh my god! What are you doing! Don't steal my jade pendant! This is robbery! This is naked robbery!!!"

Zong Wenxiu heard the voice and ran over, but there were too many people in front of him and he couldn't get through at all.

The man who picked up the jade pendant raised his hands high, and the jade pendant was dancing in the air. It could be squeezed to the ground and smashed to pieces at any time.

Zong Wenxiu hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! Be careful!"

Zong Jincheng strode forward and ordered: "Buyan, bring the jade pendant back!"

Buyan is a martial arts master, and his Qinggong is even more amazing.

He flew up from the ground, turned over and saved the jade pendant from the air. When the people who were surrounding him to steal the jade pendant saw that he was so powerful in martial arts, they immediately stopped.

The drama of finding the jade pendant finally came to an end, and the crowd dispersed in disappointment.

Only the kid who found the jade pendant ran over in joy and surprise and said, "I found it! Your people just snatched it from me!"

The kid was happy that he was about to get five hundred taels, but was afraid that they would default on the debt, so he was very nervous.

Bu Yan handed the jade pendant to Zong Jincheng.

Zong Jincheng took it and looked at it casually. It was very ordinary. He handed it to Zong Wenxiu. Seeing that he wiped it like a treasure, he carefully identified it.

Zong Wenxiu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes: "It's mine, it's my jade pendant!"

The man breathed a sigh of relief and asked carefully: "Then, then the thank you money..."

Zong Wenxiu was shocked when he heard it. The reason why his jade pendant was found was because his brother shouted five hundred taels, so everyone helped him find it so actively.

But he didn't have five hundred taels...

He had only saved a little over a hundred taels so far...

Zong Jincheng patted Zong Wenxiu on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, our family has money, take him back home and let Xu Wan pay it back."

Zong Wenxiu: "..."

Will Madam really pay it back?

That's five hundred taels...

Madam has always controlled her brother's spending, and she herself has never had any big expenses, so these five hundred taels are also a big expense for her.

Xu Wan was almost laughing when she heard that she was asked to pay it back.

But with outsiders present, she was embarrassed to get angry, so she just asked Butler Liu to take the child who found the money to the front hall to rest first.

In the side hall.

Xu Wan scolded Zong Jincheng, "You are so generous! You spent 500 taels to ask everyone in the academy to find a jade pendant worth four taels of silver! If you don't know, you might think you are a nobleman on a secret visit!"

Zong Jincheng argued, "Nobles don't have much money. Only the richest have money."

Xu Wan: "..."

Fuck, how can this little bastard grasp the key points now!

She said angrily, "Even the richest is your grandmother's family, not our Zong family!"

Zong Jincheng said confidently, "Grandmother is the only daughter, and the money is all from our Zong family. I am the eldest grandson of the Zong family, and the money is for me."

Xu Wan covered her head in pain. This prodigal son's speech...

Why is he still like this after three months of teaching?

She began to reflect deeply.

Zong Wenxiu said weakly, "I'm sorry, Madam, this matter is all because of me. I will pay the 500 taels." After saying that, he remembered that he didn't have that much money, and added, "You can deduct it from my monthly salary in the future."

He gets 20 taels of silver per month. It will take more than a year and a half to deduct 400 taels.

Xu Wan said: "You are not wrong in this matter. The thank-you money of one tael of silver is stipulated by the law. It's just that it didn't make the onlookers excited. But...it can't be raised to 500 taels! Zong Jincheng, do you really think that the money in the family is all blown by the wind!"

Zong Jincheng plugged his ears with his hands to block her roar. He closed his eyes and said: "Then you have to pay the money anyway. People are waiting outside. You won't let our mansion break our promise!"

"Why should I clean up the mess you made for you?"

"Who made you my mother now!" Zong Jincheng shouted loudly.

After shouting, both of them were stunned.

Even Zong Wenxiu looked a little stunned.

This seemed to be the first time, the first time he heard his brother say this word.

It was still Zong Jincheng who reacted first and argued: "No, I mean, who made you my nominal one now... Anyway, you have to take care of it."

He couldn't shout that title anymore after calming down.

The little devil was unusually awkward, and there was a hint of dependence in his tone, even a hint of coquettishness and submission.

Xu Wan was struck in the heart.

This kid, with that innocent face, was poisoning people again.
