Looking at the four or five taels of silver in his hand, Liang Shan was stunned: "I don't believe you only have this much money on you. Hand it over to me quickly, or I will search it."

Does he know Dachun and knows that this is Shen Ping's son, but Dachun doesn't know him.

Hearing what he said, Dachun subconsciously covered his chest. Of course, this scene could not escape the careful Liang San. As expected, Liang San found a hundred taels of silver notes on his body.

Although Liang Shan didn't know how to read, he recognized the face value of the banknote, and he immediately became happy. He saw that there was a piece of paper in it. He looked around, but he didn't know what was written. He couldn't understand it at all. The paper was thrown back.

While warning Dachun: "You kid, don't play tricks with me. I know you are the shopkeeper of Zhang's Luzhui. If you don't want your wife to know about this, just keep your mouth shut."

It's also strange that Dachun was so honest. After he scolded him like this, thinking that his wife would find out the serious consequences of this matter, he forgot the skills taught by his mother at the critical moment.

Dachun's brain was like a ball of mush, and he didn't know how he walked back to the grain and oil store. Fortunately, the carriage was still there, and the glutinous rice flour was also there.

Because he was a regular customer of the grain and oil shop, the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop, Liang Liang, saw Dachun and chased him out and said, "Dachun, where did you go just now? Fortunately, the waiter told me that you left. I asked him to keep an eye on him, otherwise Maybe someone will snatch this thing from you."

"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Liang!" Dachun twitched his lips.

"What's wrong with you? You're out of your mind!" Shopkeeper Liang also noticed something was wrong with Dachun.

"It's okay~" Dachun finally came to his senses, shook his head listlessly, touched his sleeves, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the silver hairpin was still there.

But when I think of the more than 100 taels of silver, I feel disappointed again. What should I do? How can I do business when I go back by myself?

……

At the same time, Linlang Bookstore was bustling with activity, with all previous students gathering together, including many talented people. Everyone recited poems one after another and took this opportunity to discuss things.

Xu Hao also came today and specifically asked for leave from Master Mo. Since the last time Mrs. Xu brought a matchmaker to propose marriage, the two families had acquiesced in the marriage.

But Mo Ru was stubborn and refused to do so. He also said that he would not agree unless Xu Hao could be admitted as a scholar. Not only that, but he also lived with his godmother Shen Ping.

From that moment on, Xu Hao devoted himself to studying. Mo Fuzihe also saw his change, felt deeply comforted, and treated him as his son-in-law.

County Magistrate Xu and his wife saw that their son now had a goal and was no longer idle. They felt that their son had finally grown up. No, they heard that there were many outstanding people in this book club, and they and Mr. Mo also supported his participation.

In this book club, there were five people Xu Hao also knew. We were admitted to the Tongsheng Examination together with them, and we secretly competed with each other. In the end, two of them were admitted to the Scholarship Examination, and now they are preparing to take the Juren Examination.

The remaining three of them, Xu Hao, are still the same as before, still working hard to take the scholar examination. We haven't seen each other very much in recent years, and it's rare to get together, so these words are naturally inevitable.

Everyone introduced each other's friends to each other and had a great time chatting. At this time, Xu Hao discovered that Duan Ming, a scholar he had played well with before, was stunned and his eyes were dull.

"Brother Duan, why are you so distracted? You were not like this before. You must be looking down on us!" Qin Tian said jokingly.

"Hey, Duan Ming, what's going on? You don't even talk when you come here. This is not like your style."

Xu Hao pushed Duan Ming's shoulder and asked with concern: "Brother Duan, are you okay?"

"Ah~?"

Duan Ming came back to his senses, saw everyone's concerned eyes, and said hurriedly: "It's okay, what can I do? Let's keep chatting."

"Don't tell me, haven't you noticed that Jiang Hai also has this kind of virtue? Usually this kid never stops talking, but today, he can't even pry his mouth open."

After hearing what he said, everyone also discovered this situation. Usually Jiang Hai is like a chatterbox, showing off everywhere.

When you are with him, you will always feel that he is chattering like a sparrow, but today you are also distracted, and you can't see him.

"That's right." Cao Miao shouted: "Why hasn't Brother Bai come yet? This kid is never late. He made such a mistake today. He is older but his mobility is poor. He will be punished later. Recite a poem based on this."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed and agreed: "What a good idea."

Suddenly a thought flashed through Duan Ming's mind. He and Jiang Hai lived in the same direction. If he had to pass through that stretch of road, could it be him...

Duan Ming shuddered. As far as he knew, there were about six or seven people he knew who lived in the same direction as him, including Bai Qi and Jiang Hai.

"Hey, look," Meng Zhuang pointed at the door and said, "That's Brother Bai at the door. He's finally here."

Everyone looked towards the door and saw that Bai Qi's face was red and the clothes on his chest had many wrinkles. He entered the door and looked around, looking a little panicked and embarrassed.

Xu Hao raised his hand and said, "Brother Bai, we are here." Everyone looked over and Xu Hao called out a few times before Bai Qi noticed.

"Brother Bai, why are you so late today? You used to hate late people, but why are you late today?" Mengzhuang joked: "Not only that, why are these clothes so wrinkled? Aren't you the most particular about manners? ?”

Bai Qi twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little helpless, and bowed his hands and said, "I~ I was delayed by something unexpectedly today, and I kept everyone waiting for so long. I'm really sorry! I forgot to fold these clothes last night, and they were piled together and wrinkled."

"Brother Bai, they just said that you will be punished for being late. You will be punished by reciting a poem based on it." Everyone cheered.

Bai Qi was absent-minded, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said:

"Wake up in the morning and hear the chirping of birds"

"The magpie of the heart comes to announce the good news"

"Unexpectedly, this bird is not that bird"

"It turns out that people dislike crows."

"Good poem! Easy to understand." Duan Ming clapped his hands and changed the topic and said: "It's just a bit tacky. From the literal meaning of this poem, Brother Bai is in trouble. Could it be that something bad happened to him? Is that someone?" Duan Ming asked him intentionally or unintentionally.

"No~no!" Bai Qi waved his hand and said with a forced smile: "I made this poem randomly, please don't take it to heart."

"Come on, everyone, let's talk. Cao Miao shouted: "What stage of learning have you reached? I'll come first..."

Duan Ming carefully observed the classmates present around him and found about a dozen book friends who were also absent-minded and in a daze. Among them, there were a few who arrived late and were in the same state as Bai Qi just now.

In order to confirm his guess, Duan Ming excused himself to come forward to chat, and found that these scholars all had one thing in common, that is, they lived in the same direction as himself, and they had to pass through that road when they came.

The most important point is that they all came alone without companions, which further confirmed his guess that they were all tricked by the man and woman.

But what if I guessed it? It is said that scholars have a good reputation. If this spread, wouldn't it make people laugh? Xu Hao discovered Duan Ming's abnormality.

He found that Duan Ming was looking for people to talk to. He paid careful attention and found that Duan Ming was not looking for someone to compare poems with, but was asking him where he lived. He couldn't help but wonder if Duan Ming had encountered something.
