I have a city that never sleeps
Chapter 40
There was a moment of silence in the gazebo.
Everyone froze in place, with astonishment on their faces, looking at Su Buyi who was confidently opening his mouth to bet, there was nothing to say for a while.
Even Dong Yong stared round his eyes, opened his mouth wide and looked stupid, and his whole body was almost petrified.
This strange and peaceful atmosphere lasted for a while, and the scholars in the yard finally came to their senses. You look at me, I look at you, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha, Brother Tang, did you hear what he said? I seem to be hallucinating."
"I heard it with my own ears. He said he wanted this idiot to compete with Fu Xuan. Pfft, he almost killed me laughing."
"Which rank did this commoner rank in the last township examination, oh over 180, and Fu Xuan's rank is Xie Yuan. It's a big difference today. If you want to pass Fu Xuan's stereotyped exam, you're too embarrassed!"
"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard this year. No, it must be publicized so that everyone can enjoy it!"
Although they didn't know Dong Yong's strength, they belonged to the same academy after all, and they were very familiar with Fu Xuanke, who was always praised by the master for stereotyped essays.
So no matter how much they hated Fu Xuan, everyone would have nothing to say about his strength.
Their undisguised sarcasm made Dong Yong's face burst into heat, and he hurriedly pulled Su Buyi's arm anxiously, and his tone couldn't help but panic: "Brother Su, don't be joking. I know my own grades. It is absolutely impossible to compare with Fu Xuan, why are you suddenly confused!"
Not to mention the comparison with Fu Xuan, I am afraid that a small half of the people present can completely crush him. Dong Yong is very self-aware, so he wants to stop Su Buyi from being stupid.
Through the competition just now, he knew that Su Buji was really capable. He was probably proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and stereotyped writing was definitely not a problem.
Such a person who can definitely win the competition, but insists on letting himself, a rookie, go to the competition, what is it if he is not stupid!
But Su Buyi looked at him with a smile, and said lightly: "You can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. If I go, I will only crush them. It's too boring. It's just right for you to go up. Don't worry, after my After a few days of teaching, you can be reborn and successfully look down on this group of dudes, there is nothing to worry about."
...Dong Yong and the others looked at him dumbly, not knowing where his confidence came from.
But anyone who heard this sentence was very upset, and all the noble children cast angry glances at Su Buyi.
Su Buyi didn't listen or ask, just looked at Fu Xuan: "How, do you dare to compare with him?"
Fu Xuan frowned deeply, and glanced at Dong Yong, who was as timid as a mouse and trembling, but his figure was not reflected in his pupils, so he turned his head to look at Su Buyi: "My goal is only you, you come here Compare with me."
He doesn't pay attention to others.
Su Buyi chuckled, "If you can't even compare with him, do you still want to compare with me? You'd better learn from the beginning."
Fu Xuangang was about to speak, but he continued: "Besides, this is not a simple competition."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Dong Yong, who didn't dare to breathe, and said: "If he loses in the trial, then I will do whatever you want, whether it is to lose his reputation or leave the capital forever, it doesn't matter."
"But if Fu Xuan loses." Su Buyi glanced at everyone present, and the corners of his lips curled up in joy, "I want you all to obey one of my orders."
"Do you have any objections?"
This sentence made the game bigger. After all, none of the dandies present had a prominent family background. If Su Buyi really won the bet, the orders one by one... would be equivalent to making a lot of money.
Some people are still rational, and some hesitate.
However, the vast majority of people didn't think at all, and immediately slapped the table: "Okay! Let's bet with you!"
They sneered at the hesitant people in a low voice, "What are you worried about? A person with a ranking of more than 180 can try to be the first? Even if I take off my head and put it here, it is absolutely impossible! If such an incredible thing is true If you can do it, then all scholars in the world should stop studying and just worship Su Buyi as their teacher, and they will all be champions!"
"That's right, he didn't take the test himself. We all know Dong Yong's ability, so it's nothing, don't be cowardly, don't be cowardly, do you want us to go out to promote it brazenly when this person wins? Don't we want to lose face! "
"That's right, we lost the first two games, and we are determined not to lose again this time! Otherwise, our reputation will be ruined!"
Everyone chattered and talked, as if they had taken a reassurance, everyone became firmer, and they all began to express their agreement to bet.
Only Fu Xuan stood there displeased, without saying a word, but in this situation, no one cares about his thoughts anymore, you can't try to deliberately release water, right?There is no problem if you take the test seriously, whether you agree or not, everything depends on the result.
No matter what they think in their hearts, these dandies are also very confident in Fu Xuan's knowledge, if it compares to stereotypes, Fu Xuan must be number one!
"Okay!" Su Buyi smiled, "Everyone, please be happy, then I will try it and see you later!"
Everyone sneered: "I hope you won't run away when the time comes."
Su Buyi also smiled: "You too."
After looking at each other hypocritically for a while, the two turned their heads away at the same time and walked to the opposite place.
It's just that after Su Buyi took Dong Yong out with big strides, he suddenly turned around and asked a little shyly, "Speaking of which, when will you take the test?"
Everyone: "..."
? ? ?You don't know when you will dare to speak nonsense in the exam? ?
What a bull!
"It turned out to be three days." After Su Buyu got the answer, he was still a little dazed, "Are you going to try it so soon? No wonder none of them believed me."
Dong Yong at his side was about to kneel down to him: "Brother Su, don't you know that there are only three days left! It is impossible to raise stereotyped writing to No.1 in such a short period of time, return now It's too late to apologize!"
"It's okay." Su Buyi said calmly, "It's a little faster than expected, but it's not a big problem, as long as you are willing to work hard."
"This is not something that can be improved through hard work..." Dong Yong was almost desperate, "It's not worth betting your life for someone like me."
He seemed to be born with inferiority complex because of his own status. Su Buyi glanced back at him and asked, "Don't you want to trample down those dudes who only rely on their parents to bully and mock you? Don't you?" Don’t you want to try to make a blockbuster and impress everyone?”
"This..." Dong Yong choked up, lowered his head silently, "I still want to...but I can't do it."
"Although I have studied hard and made a lot of efforts for this test, I still can't imagine being the first."
"It's okay, you can do it with me." Su Buyi comforted with a smile.
"..." Dong Yong really wanted to learn from him where this strong self-confidence came from, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Impossible things are impossible."
Su Buyi frowned in disapproval: "Don't take stereotyped writing as something sacred, it's just a problem in essence, if you can know the problem in advance and fully prepare for this problem, you will Are you still afraid?"
"Of course not..." In the middle of speaking, Dong Yong suddenly realized something, and his eyelids twitched, "Brother Su, is it possible... Do you know the topic of this test?"
His heart was full of turmoil. The exam questions were all controlled by high-ranking officials, and he was guaranteed not to let out any rumors. Otherwise, he would leak the exam questions naked. Doubt really knows, this, compared to whether he can win, he needs to think about his own life first!
Fortunately, Su Buyi said, "Of course I don't know."
Realizing that he was thinking too much, Dong Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Buyi: "But it won't take long before I can tell what the exam questions are."
Dong Yong: "... divination?"
He was silent for a moment, and then tentatively asked: "I don't know what Brother Su's occupation is...?"
Su Buyi said triumphantly, "Half Immortal."
Dong Yong: "..."
Su Buyi: "Don't worry, my divination has not been accurate for many years... Cough, when I am inaccurate! When I go out for astrology tomorrow, I will naturally be able to get the exam questions, and I will guarantee you smooth sailing."
Dong Yong's eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.
He thought that the talented Su Buyi was unreliable enough, but... it turned out that the other party was even more unreliable!
Astrology and divination... What kind of fantasy art is this!
Forget about being illusory, I have never heard of anyone who can get the exam questions through divination! !
It's over, it's over, it's over...
Dong Yong no longer had any hope, his footsteps were vain, he staggered, and his soul was about to fly away.
Seeing his appearance, a faint smile flashed in Su Buyi's eyes, and he bet that he was serious, of course, that group of dandies were living resources for work, and the other party sent them up, so Su Buyi would naturally accept them all.
However, astrology and divination are purely deceiving. Who can predict the problem, isn't this a joke!
But seeing the transformation of others from not believing that he can divination to believing that he is a god is one of the joys of Su Buyi's life.
So facing Dong Yong's feeble and ten-year-old expression, Su Buyi only found it very interesting.
"Who will write the questions in this test?" He asked Dong Yong.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for Dong Yong to know the answer, but he just found the information from the chat with the young masters, "It is said that it is Qu Anning Qu Hanlin."
Su Buyi didn't know who this Qu Hanlin was, but it didn't prevent him from quickly finding out the location of Qu Hanlin's mansion.
A calculation quickly flashed in his mind, and he dragged Dong Yong back to Shi Yingfa's mansion in the suburbs.
Knowing that he was back, Shi Yingfa, who was fidgeting in the study, immediately called the servant who followed him out to inquire about the situation.
After Li Si, the boy, described everything he saw and heard along the way in detail, Shi Yingfa frowned slightly, and couldn't understand: "You said that he just participated in a poetry meeting and had a quarrel with the son of an official inside. Some contradictions, and brought back a commoner scholar?"
"Yes." In order to please the adults, Li Si deliberately asked what happened to the servants of the Tang Mansion. Under the influence of Yin Liang, he obtained all the information, including Su Buyi's bet with a group of young masters. things. "
"...It's really weird." Shi Yingfa was puzzled in his heart, "If he doesn't go to report to the prince, what is the purpose of playing such a useless bet?"
"As for that commoner, let alone three days, even three months, it is impossible for him to try for the first place. Isn't this taking the initiative to seek death?"
Li Si couldn't understand either, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "He brought that person back, should we stop him and disturb their study?"
"No need." Shi Yingfa wasn't worried at all, "It's so obvious that it will only give him a handle, forgive him for not being able to make any splashes! Hehe three days, after the test is over, his reputation will be ruined, won't he give me another one in the prince's hands?" Opportunity to participate in his book? Leave him alone!"
The darkness in his eyes flashed, and he added: "But as long as he goes out, you should follow me closely, and you must not let him go to the prince's mansion!"
Li Si: "Yes!"
But having said that, he still asked people to keep an eye on Su Buyi's room to see how he taught Dong Yong.
But who knows that for the whole half a day, Su Buyi didn't teach him anything, just let Dong Yong read and practice calligraphy, and even Dong Yong himself gave up on himself, Su Buyi did whatever he asked, and resolutely never questioned a word.
Seeing this, Shi Yingfa was even more disdainful, thinking that he must be finished this time, and he didn't even bother to supervise him.
And in the early morning of the next day, when everyone in the mansion just woke up to perform their duties, the butler who opened the door and was about to wash saw a figure walking outside the door. Wait, Mr. Su, Mr. Su!! Where are you going!"
That figure was Su Buyi, and he chose the perfect time to go out, if he was a step late, the people in the house might let him run away without anyone noticing.
Panting, the housekeeper hurriedly chased after him, wondering if this person saw no chance yesterday, so he wanted to sneak out when no one was around?
Fortunately, he is clever, otherwise all the plans of the adults will be in vain!
He immediately stood in front of Su Buyi, his breath was still a little unsteady, but there was already a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Su, where are you going?"
Su Buyi stopped in his tracks and didn't panic when he saw him appear, he just said, "Go to the capital."
"It's a long way, Mr. Su going out alone, how can we rest assured." The housekeeper really thought so, and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, sir, the boys will be here soon!"
"This is not good." Su Buyi showed a hesitant look on his face, "I want to do something, so I don't want to involve them."
"Please don't be polite, sir!" The butler immediately said, "You are a distinguished guest in the mansion, you can order your servants to go if you want to do anything, how can this be called involvement?"
He felt more and more that Su Buyu was someone who wanted to drive them away, and he sneered in his heart, but became more enthusiastic on his face.
Su Buyi was a little moved: "Can they listen to my command?"
"Of course." The butler said immediately.
And silently added in the bottom of my heart, as long as it is not related to the prince.
"Alright then." Su Buyi smiled and said with his hands behind his back, "then they should hurry up, I'm a little urgent about this matter, and I'm leaving immediately."
"No problem!" The butler breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked someone to call over those boys from yesterday.
Not long after, there was another row of servants hurriedly standing at the door, everyone was a little disheveled, obviously they were called out in a hurry.
The housekeeper glanced at them arrogantly, and said specifically: "You must listen to Mr. Su's words, and follow him every step to protect him, do you understand?"
"Yes!" The boys in this group knew their missions, and they all deserved it happily.
So Su Buyi was satisfied and took them away.
This time when Su Buyu didn't bring Wu Yu with him when he went out, some servants felt a little suspicious, and when Su Buyi went to the residences of some dignitaries, their expressions became even more bewildered.
They have already memorized the route of Prince Zhao's mansion. It must not be this street. Then why did Mr. Su come here?
Before they could figure out why, Su Buyi looked at a dignified mansion from afar, with a deep smile on his face.
He looked up at the sky. It was just dawn, and there were not many people on the street, but the palace in the distance was quite lively.
That's right, now is the time for the officials to go down.
Even if it was to avoid bumping into these officials sitting in sedan chairs, ordinary people would not take this road, but Su Buyi's goal was them. He stopped at a suitable place, and suddenly turned his head to look at the dozen or so people behind him. boy.
His eyes flicked over the boys one by one, this gaze inexplicably contained some deep meaning, it actually gave the boys a chill at the same time.
Afterwards, Su Buyi's eyes stopped on one of the older servants: "Just you, what's your name?"
The boy was startled, and said softly: "Mr. Hui, the servant's name is Li Si."
"That's right." Su nodded approvingly, "It's a name that is easy for people to remember. After a while, you will follow my orders and do whatever you are asked to do."
Li Si felt even more uneasy, and tremblingly looked at his face from the corner of his eye, only to see him rubbing his chin and meditating: "It's still a little bit worse."
As he said that, he took the initiative to walk into the dirt, grabbed two handfuls of dirt, touched Li Si's face twice, messed up his hair, and wrinkled his clothes.
In an instant, Li Si changed from a decent servant to a beggar everywhere on the roadside.
And Su Buyi didn't forget to dress himself up, and wiped the dust on himself, but it wasn't his appearance that was damaged, but a delicate and thin feeling.
Soon, he transformed into a haggard and thin scholar, completely different from the paralyzed old man in the mansion.
It was also wiped with dirt, and Li Si looked at Su Buyi's pitiful and innocent little face with a bit of charm, feeling resentful, and felt that he, a beggar, was really out of sight.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
"You guys, go and prepare a wooden plank." Su Buyi then ordered the others, "You go and prepare some small pieces of white cloth, hurry up!"
The other boys looked at each other, not knowing what he wanted to do at all, but they could only follow his instructions in a daze, and hurriedly searched for wooden boards and white cloth.
Now that the preparations are almost done, Su Buyi asked someone to put the wooden board on the ground, then looked at Li Si, reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled: "Okay, you feel wronged for a while, lie on the wooden board, The rest will take care of lifting you up and walking, don't worry."
That smile was clearly pure and innocent, but for some reason, Li Si felt a bad premonition in his heart, staggered and lay behind the plank, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sir, what exactly does the slave need to do?"
"It's very simple." Su Buyi smiled, "You only need to do one thing."
"That's closing your eyes and pretending to be dead."
Li Si: "..."
His lips trembled, and his complexion was faintly pale, "W-What do you want...?"
The corners of Su Buyi's lips curled up, and he uttered a few words righteously:
"I want to sell myself to bury my father!"
"........."
This time it wasn't just Li Si who trembled, the expressions of the other servants changed drastically, with horror in their eyes.
Su Buyi said gently: "The above are all official statements, but the real purpose is not like this."
The boys breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right! Our ultimate goal is to touch porcelain!"
"You just need to carry the wooden boards and walk. Li Si is responsible for pretending to be dead. Listen to my password and run directly towards a sedan chair. If you succeed in touching porcelain, it will be over!"
"It's good to swarm and disperse when the time comes, don't worry about poor acting skills."
Hearing this, the faces of all the servants are not pale, they are pale and bloodless.
Do they care about acting skills? ?
Touch porcelain?Hit the sedan chair? ?
Which of the people sitting in the sedan chair is not a high-ranking official, isn't this actively courting death!
What the hell is Mr. Su doing? Are you all crazy!
As if he didn't see their changed faces at all, Su Buyi smiled and said with emotion: "I was still thinking about how to see Mr. Qu, but I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic and ask for help. Help me thank the housekeeper, if it weren't for him , how can you do me such a big favor?"
"..."
The boys almost lost their legs and feet, and were so frightened that they lost their minds.
But no matter how frightened and resisted they were, they had no choice but to obey Su Buyi because of their master's order.
Soon, Qu Hanlin's sedan chair moved forward slowly, and he could almost see the shadow. Su Buyi immediately ordered everyone to carry the wooden boards forward. With all the servants' faces ashen ashes and their bodies trembling, a deadly funeral The father's drama was staged impressively.
Su Buyi also sorted out his thoughts, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, his face showed sorrow and pain, and he began to cry bitterly while holding the wooden board: "Dad, dad...how do you I just left my baby, woo woo woo... Father, my boy is not filial, and I don't even have the money to buy you a coffin, what can I do with my baby."
Li Si, who was lying down pretending to be dead, suddenly heard his earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods, almost trembling with fright, and his skin got goosebumps.
But he still resisted to stay still, crossed his hands on his chest, desperately implying to himself that I am a dead person, I am a dead person, I am a dead person...
With his eyes closed, he doesn't know what's going on in the outside world. He only knows one thing. Once he moves and is discovered, he will really be a dead person.
It is a very serious crime to deceive the imperial court officials!
A group of crying and crying happened to collide with Qu Hanlin's sedan chair. To be precise, they blocked Qu Hanlin's way home. The subordinate who was sitting in front of the car immediately looked ugly, and waved away again and again: "Go away Go away, bad luck! Do you know who is in this sedan chair, get out of the way, get out of here!"
At this time, Su Buyi gave full play to his thick-skinned features, but turned a deaf ear, and even cried even more sadly.
He even purposely swayed towards the sedan chair, and happened to collide with the sedan chair in an instant.
The wooden plank fell with a slam, and Li Si almost grinned when he fell. He tried his best not to cry out, but he felt a breath lying on his body and cried loudly: "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad! What crime did I do?" Ah, I didn’t expect you to be tortured even if you went, you are not filial!!”
Master Naqu's sedan chair was also wobbly. Seeing that this man dared to complain first, his subordinates got angry and wanted to go down and chase him away.
But this movement also alarmed the people in the sedan chair. Qu Hanlin, who had closed his eyes and rested his mind, felt the shock, frowned slightly, and took the initiative to lift the curtain to look out: "What's going on?"
The subordinate immediately said nervously: "My lord, some people bumped into us with blind eyes, please wait a moment, the humble officer will drive them away."
Qu Hanlin glanced behind him, and saw the young man crying bitterly in front of the board.
The boy was wearing ordinary white clothes, and lying in front of him was a motionless man dressed in messy clothes. The man's face was covered with mud, and he couldn't see his face clearly. From his howling, he seemed to be a father and son.
As if sensing that someone was watching, the young man slowly raised his head, his eyes red from crying looked there, revealing a haggard and fragile little face.
The boy is thin and young, and he seems to be very weak, as if the wind can blow him away if it is stronger.
His tearful and sad appearance instantly hit Qu Hanlin's sympathy, and Qu Hanlin felt as if his heart had been crushed, which was very unbearable.
Seeing that the subordinate wanted to drive people away rudely, he quickly stopped him: "Wait!"
After the words came out, there was a pause before he brushed his beard and sighed: "It's a poor man, call him over, I want to ask him personally."
"Yes." The subordinate was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the adult would be interested in a commoner. He immediately followed the order and brought the boy in front of the adult, and threatened in a low voice, "Answer the adults honestly, did you hear me?"
The boy shrank his neck in fear, his clean eyes were full of fragility and fear, Qu Hanlin frowned even more, and gave his subordinate a dissatisfied look.
With a gentle tone that he had never seen before, he smiled at the young man and said, "Don't be afraid, you look like a scholar. Tell me, who is that person on the wooden board, and why are you blocking here?" ?”
It seemed that because of his encouraging eyes, a little courage rose in his heart. The boy's nervous expression gradually eased, but he still choked up and said, "My lord...I'm so miserable!"
As soon as he said a word, he covered the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and wailed loudly: "The people on the wooden board are my family members. They died because they were accidentally struck by lightning. Let me send the white-haired man to the black-haired man... ...I have no money so I can only wander here, I hope that some kind adults can help me, I must be very grateful."
Before Qu Hanlin could speak, the eyelids of his subordinates twitched. What a guy, this guy thinks beautifully. He knows that it’s much better to be a poor scholar than to be a poor scholar. The signboard is on the pole!Adults must not be deceived!
He immediately wanted to expose Su Buyi's lies, and sneered, "Oh? Why don't you tell me what's wrong with you?"
"Could it be that my lord has a disease in his eyes and can't even see this!" Su Buyi sobbed tearfully, pointing to his own face, "Look at me, my little face is haggard and gray, how decadent, isn't this Is it miserable?"
"..." The subordinate looked at his face, and felt that it was round and fleshy, with ruddy lips, and it seemed that there was no shortage of delicious and spicy food.
"Look at my fingers again." Su Buyi stretched out five fingers, aggrieved, "I have been working all day these days, my fingers are rough, I haven't trimmed them, and there are still dirt in my palms! Isn't this miserable enough? "
"..." The subordinate looked down at his fingers, well, they were white and tender, slender and beautiful, and it seemed that his fingers did not touch the spring water.
"Look at my clothes again." Su Buyi said with tears, "This is the only piece of clothing at home, and I haven't had time to wash it yet. It's already messed up, isn't it miserable!"
"..." The subordinate looked at his spotless white robe, and fell into deep thought.
... Is he a fool, or the other party is a fool.
Why do you feel that such an obvious lie can be fooled? Can this damn be miserable? !
If you want to say that, he is also very miserable, working hard every day in the mansion with so little wages, isn't he even more miserable? !
The subordinate hid his anger in his heart, he couldn't go up or down, he gave Su Buyi a hard look, then turned his head away and waited for Mr. Qu's decision.
As long as Mr. Qu gives an order, whether it's driving people away or killing people, he can do it immediately!
This person is really too hateful!
However, when he turned his head, what he saw was Qu Hanlin's face that was so moved that his eyes were slightly red.
Qu Hanlin, who was always serious, was wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and said with a sob: "This child, it's really too miserable."
subordinate:"……?"
? ? ? ? ?
grown ups? ?What's wrong with you, my lord!
My lord, wake up quickly!
How can you be blinded by such scammers!
"Look at this dress, you are a scholar, you are really a good boy, and your filial piety is commendable."
"Come on!" Qu Hanlin sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
The subordinate walked over suspiciously, and only heard the adult say: "Go and get him 100 taels of silver."
Subordinate: "...huh?"
Good guy, it's 100 taels for a shot, sir, you are blinded by lard heart! !
Whose funeral father needs 100 taels of silver!
While he was dumbfounded, Qu Hanlin added to Su Buyi: "Take this money to bury your father well, and the rest will be used for studying. You still have a future at a young age, so don't give up on yourself!"
Su Buyi was very moved, and his eyes glowed beautifully: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
He saluted Qu Hanlin gratefully, a smile finally appeared on his small face, just like the red sun rising at dawn, it made people feel happy just watching it.
Qu Hanlin stroked his beard in satisfaction, and glared at his stunned subordinate: "What? Did you not understand what the old man said?"
"This...is..."
The subordinate was momentarily at a loss for words, so he nodded in agreement, still extremely shocked in his heart.
How could someone bump into an adult and not only be fine but also get a hundred taels of silver for nothing? Why would he be rejected by an adult just after hesitating for a while...
Why is it so unfair between people!
Because of his deep thinking, he didn't notice that he stepped on the corpse below when he gave the money.
It wasn't until a muffled groan came from nowhere that he was startled, moved his feet and searched suspiciously: "What was that sound just now?"
Su Buyi lightly kicked Li Si, who was pretending to be dead, with his toes, and said with a shy expression on his face, "Maybe it's because I ran out of money. I haven't eaten since yesterday, and my stomach protested. Don't blame me."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Hanlin, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt even more sour. There are really not many scholars who are so kind and righteous in the world. They would rather bury their relatives while starving. Yes, if this son can High school must have a bright future.
The more he looked at Su Buyi, the more he liked it. Qu Hanlin even offered to suggest, "I'll send two people to take your father to burial."
"……what?"
The unexpected script made Su Buyi a little dumbfounded, "That's unnecessary, I'm too much trouble for you."
"You're welcome." Qu Hanlin waved his hand generously, "If you rely on yourself, you don't know when it will end. Don't worry, I will help you find two strong people to help you, and let you go back to study as soon as possible."
"Uh..." In an instant, Su Buyi's heart skipped a beat.
It's over, overacted.
He also didn't expect that Qu Hanlin was so sympathetic, if he cried a little, he would be a good person to the end.
This is how to do?
And Li Si, who played the role of the corpse and accidentally screamed out of too much pain, was even more frightened.
Send someone to help = strangers follow along = have to be buried = he will be buried in the ground!
That alone is scary enough, in case he couldn't help moving and was discovered...
At this moment, Li Si's face turned green, and he tried his best not to tremble with fright, but his hands and feet were cold and his back was sweating finely.
But facing this situation, Li Si and Su Buyi had no better solution, so he could only watch and listen to Su Buyi's silence for a moment, and then saluted and thanked: "Then thank you, sir."
"Presumably father's spirit in heaven will also be very happy."
Li Si: "..."
He couldn't help crying inwardly.
Happy, so happy!
Everyone froze in place, with astonishment on their faces, looking at Su Buyi who was confidently opening his mouth to bet, there was nothing to say for a while.
Even Dong Yong stared round his eyes, opened his mouth wide and looked stupid, and his whole body was almost petrified.
This strange and peaceful atmosphere lasted for a while, and the scholars in the yard finally came to their senses. You look at me, I look at you, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha, Brother Tang, did you hear what he said? I seem to be hallucinating."
"I heard it with my own ears. He said he wanted this idiot to compete with Fu Xuan. Pfft, he almost killed me laughing."
"Which rank did this commoner rank in the last township examination, oh over 180, and Fu Xuan's rank is Xie Yuan. It's a big difference today. If you want to pass Fu Xuan's stereotyped exam, you're too embarrassed!"
"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard this year. No, it must be publicized so that everyone can enjoy it!"
Although they didn't know Dong Yong's strength, they belonged to the same academy after all, and they were very familiar with Fu Xuanke, who was always praised by the master for stereotyped essays.
So no matter how much they hated Fu Xuan, everyone would have nothing to say about his strength.
Their undisguised sarcasm made Dong Yong's face burst into heat, and he hurriedly pulled Su Buyi's arm anxiously, and his tone couldn't help but panic: "Brother Su, don't be joking. I know my own grades. It is absolutely impossible to compare with Fu Xuan, why are you suddenly confused!"
Not to mention the comparison with Fu Xuan, I am afraid that a small half of the people present can completely crush him. Dong Yong is very self-aware, so he wants to stop Su Buyi from being stupid.
Through the competition just now, he knew that Su Buji was really capable. He was probably proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and stereotyped writing was definitely not a problem.
Such a person who can definitely win the competition, but insists on letting himself, a rookie, go to the competition, what is it if he is not stupid!
But Su Buyi looked at him with a smile, and said lightly: "You can't kill a chicken with a butcher's knife. If I go, I will only crush them. It's too boring. It's just right for you to go up. Don't worry, after my After a few days of teaching, you can be reborn and successfully look down on this group of dudes, there is nothing to worry about."
...Dong Yong and the others looked at him dumbly, not knowing where his confidence came from.
But anyone who heard this sentence was very upset, and all the noble children cast angry glances at Su Buyi.
Su Buyi didn't listen or ask, just looked at Fu Xuan: "How, do you dare to compare with him?"
Fu Xuan frowned deeply, and glanced at Dong Yong, who was as timid as a mouse and trembling, but his figure was not reflected in his pupils, so he turned his head to look at Su Buyi: "My goal is only you, you come here Compare with me."
He doesn't pay attention to others.
Su Buyi chuckled, "If you can't even compare with him, do you still want to compare with me? You'd better learn from the beginning."
Fu Xuangang was about to speak, but he continued: "Besides, this is not a simple competition."
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Dong Yong, who didn't dare to breathe, and said: "If he loses in the trial, then I will do whatever you want, whether it is to lose his reputation or leave the capital forever, it doesn't matter."
"But if Fu Xuan loses." Su Buyi glanced at everyone present, and the corners of his lips curled up in joy, "I want you all to obey one of my orders."
"Do you have any objections?"
This sentence made the game bigger. After all, none of the dandies present had a prominent family background. If Su Buyi really won the bet, the orders one by one... would be equivalent to making a lot of money.
Some people are still rational, and some hesitate.
However, the vast majority of people didn't think at all, and immediately slapped the table: "Okay! Let's bet with you!"
They sneered at the hesitant people in a low voice, "What are you worried about? A person with a ranking of more than 180 can try to be the first? Even if I take off my head and put it here, it is absolutely impossible! If such an incredible thing is true If you can do it, then all scholars in the world should stop studying and just worship Su Buyi as their teacher, and they will all be champions!"
"That's right, he didn't take the test himself. We all know Dong Yong's ability, so it's nothing, don't be cowardly, don't be cowardly, do you want us to go out to promote it brazenly when this person wins? Don't we want to lose face! "
"That's right, we lost the first two games, and we are determined not to lose again this time! Otherwise, our reputation will be ruined!"
Everyone chattered and talked, as if they had taken a reassurance, everyone became firmer, and they all began to express their agreement to bet.
Only Fu Xuan stood there displeased, without saying a word, but in this situation, no one cares about his thoughts anymore, you can't try to deliberately release water, right?There is no problem if you take the test seriously, whether you agree or not, everything depends on the result.
No matter what they think in their hearts, these dandies are also very confident in Fu Xuan's knowledge, if it compares to stereotypes, Fu Xuan must be number one!
"Okay!" Su Buyi smiled, "Everyone, please be happy, then I will try it and see you later!"
Everyone sneered: "I hope you won't run away when the time comes."
Su Buyi also smiled: "You too."
After looking at each other hypocritically for a while, the two turned their heads away at the same time and walked to the opposite place.
It's just that after Su Buyi took Dong Yong out with big strides, he suddenly turned around and asked a little shyly, "Speaking of which, when will you take the test?"
Everyone: "..."
? ? ?You don't know when you will dare to speak nonsense in the exam? ?
What a bull!
"It turned out to be three days." After Su Buyu got the answer, he was still a little dazed, "Are you going to try it so soon? No wonder none of them believed me."
Dong Yong at his side was about to kneel down to him: "Brother Su, don't you know that there are only three days left! It is impossible to raise stereotyped writing to No.1 in such a short period of time, return now It's too late to apologize!"
"It's okay." Su Buyi said calmly, "It's a little faster than expected, but it's not a big problem, as long as you are willing to work hard."
"This is not something that can be improved through hard work..." Dong Yong was almost desperate, "It's not worth betting your life for someone like me."
He seemed to be born with inferiority complex because of his own status. Su Buyi glanced back at him and asked, "Don't you want to trample down those dudes who only rely on their parents to bully and mock you? Don't you?" Don’t you want to try to make a blockbuster and impress everyone?”
"This..." Dong Yong choked up, lowered his head silently, "I still want to...but I can't do it."
"Although I have studied hard and made a lot of efforts for this test, I still can't imagine being the first."
"It's okay, you can do it with me." Su Buyi comforted with a smile.
"..." Dong Yong really wanted to learn from him where this strong self-confidence came from, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Impossible things are impossible."
Su Buyi frowned in disapproval: "Don't take stereotyped writing as something sacred, it's just a problem in essence, if you can know the problem in advance and fully prepare for this problem, you will Are you still afraid?"
"Of course not..." In the middle of speaking, Dong Yong suddenly realized something, and his eyelids twitched, "Brother Su, is it possible... Do you know the topic of this test?"
His heart was full of turmoil. The exam questions were all controlled by high-ranking officials, and he was guaranteed not to let out any rumors. Otherwise, he would leak the exam questions naked. Doubt really knows, this, compared to whether he can win, he needs to think about his own life first!
Fortunately, Su Buyi said, "Of course I don't know."
Realizing that he was thinking too much, Dong Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Buyi: "But it won't take long before I can tell what the exam questions are."
Dong Yong: "... divination?"
He was silent for a moment, and then tentatively asked: "I don't know what Brother Su's occupation is...?"
Su Buyi said triumphantly, "Half Immortal."
Dong Yong: "..."
Su Buyi: "Don't worry, my divination has not been accurate for many years... Cough, when I am inaccurate! When I go out for astrology tomorrow, I will naturally be able to get the exam questions, and I will guarantee you smooth sailing."
Dong Yong's eyes darkened, and he almost passed out.
He thought that the talented Su Buyi was unreliable enough, but... it turned out that the other party was even more unreliable!
Astrology and divination... What kind of fantasy art is this!
Forget about being illusory, I have never heard of anyone who can get the exam questions through divination! !
It's over, it's over, it's over...
Dong Yong no longer had any hope, his footsteps were vain, he staggered, and his soul was about to fly away.
Seeing his appearance, a faint smile flashed in Su Buyi's eyes, and he bet that he was serious, of course, that group of dandies were living resources for work, and the other party sent them up, so Su Buyi would naturally accept them all.
However, astrology and divination are purely deceiving. Who can predict the problem, isn't this a joke!
But seeing the transformation of others from not believing that he can divination to believing that he is a god is one of the joys of Su Buyi's life.
So facing Dong Yong's feeble and ten-year-old expression, Su Buyi only found it very interesting.
"Who will write the questions in this test?" He asked Dong Yong.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for Dong Yong to know the answer, but he just found the information from the chat with the young masters, "It is said that it is Qu Anning Qu Hanlin."
Su Buyi didn't know who this Qu Hanlin was, but it didn't prevent him from quickly finding out the location of Qu Hanlin's mansion.
A calculation quickly flashed in his mind, and he dragged Dong Yong back to Shi Yingfa's mansion in the suburbs.
Knowing that he was back, Shi Yingfa, who was fidgeting in the study, immediately called the servant who followed him out to inquire about the situation.
After Li Si, the boy, described everything he saw and heard along the way in detail, Shi Yingfa frowned slightly, and couldn't understand: "You said that he just participated in a poetry meeting and had a quarrel with the son of an official inside. Some contradictions, and brought back a commoner scholar?"
"Yes." In order to please the adults, Li Si deliberately asked what happened to the servants of the Tang Mansion. Under the influence of Yin Liang, he obtained all the information, including Su Buyi's bet with a group of young masters. things. "
"...It's really weird." Shi Yingfa was puzzled in his heart, "If he doesn't go to report to the prince, what is the purpose of playing such a useless bet?"
"As for that commoner, let alone three days, even three months, it is impossible for him to try for the first place. Isn't this taking the initiative to seek death?"
Li Si couldn't understand either, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "He brought that person back, should we stop him and disturb their study?"
"No need." Shi Yingfa wasn't worried at all, "It's so obvious that it will only give him a handle, forgive him for not being able to make any splashes! Hehe three days, after the test is over, his reputation will be ruined, won't he give me another one in the prince's hands?" Opportunity to participate in his book? Leave him alone!"
The darkness in his eyes flashed, and he added: "But as long as he goes out, you should follow me closely, and you must not let him go to the prince's mansion!"
Li Si: "Yes!"
But having said that, he still asked people to keep an eye on Su Buyi's room to see how he taught Dong Yong.
But who knows that for the whole half a day, Su Buyi didn't teach him anything, just let Dong Yong read and practice calligraphy, and even Dong Yong himself gave up on himself, Su Buyi did whatever he asked, and resolutely never questioned a word.
Seeing this, Shi Yingfa was even more disdainful, thinking that he must be finished this time, and he didn't even bother to supervise him.
And in the early morning of the next day, when everyone in the mansion just woke up to perform their duties, the butler who opened the door and was about to wash saw a figure walking outside the door. Wait, Mr. Su, Mr. Su!! Where are you going!"
That figure was Su Buyi, and he chose the perfect time to go out, if he was a step late, the people in the house might let him run away without anyone noticing.
Panting, the housekeeper hurriedly chased after him, wondering if this person saw no chance yesterday, so he wanted to sneak out when no one was around?
Fortunately, he is clever, otherwise all the plans of the adults will be in vain!
He immediately stood in front of Su Buyi, his breath was still a little unsteady, but there was already a flattering smile on his face: "Mr. Su, where are you going?"
Su Buyi stopped in his tracks and didn't panic when he saw him appear, he just said, "Go to the capital."
"It's a long way, Mr. Su going out alone, how can we rest assured." The housekeeper really thought so, and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, sir, the boys will be here soon!"
"This is not good." Su Buyi showed a hesitant look on his face, "I want to do something, so I don't want to involve them."
"Please don't be polite, sir!" The butler immediately said, "You are a distinguished guest in the mansion, you can order your servants to go if you want to do anything, how can this be called involvement?"
He felt more and more that Su Buyu was someone who wanted to drive them away, and he sneered in his heart, but became more enthusiastic on his face.
Su Buyi was a little moved: "Can they listen to my command?"
"Of course." The butler said immediately.
And silently added in the bottom of my heart, as long as it is not related to the prince.
"Alright then." Su Buyi smiled and said with his hands behind his back, "then they should hurry up, I'm a little urgent about this matter, and I'm leaving immediately."
"No problem!" The butler breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked someone to call over those boys from yesterday.
Not long after, there was another row of servants hurriedly standing at the door, everyone was a little disheveled, obviously they were called out in a hurry.
The housekeeper glanced at them arrogantly, and said specifically: "You must listen to Mr. Su's words, and follow him every step to protect him, do you understand?"
"Yes!" The boys in this group knew their missions, and they all deserved it happily.
So Su Buyi was satisfied and took them away.
This time when Su Buyu didn't bring Wu Yu with him when he went out, some servants felt a little suspicious, and when Su Buyi went to the residences of some dignitaries, their expressions became even more bewildered.
They have already memorized the route of Prince Zhao's mansion. It must not be this street. Then why did Mr. Su come here?
Before they could figure out why, Su Buyi looked at a dignified mansion from afar, with a deep smile on his face.
He looked up at the sky. It was just dawn, and there were not many people on the street, but the palace in the distance was quite lively.
That's right, now is the time for the officials to go down.
Even if it was to avoid bumping into these officials sitting in sedan chairs, ordinary people would not take this road, but Su Buyi's goal was them. He stopped at a suitable place, and suddenly turned his head to look at the dozen or so people behind him. boy.
His eyes flicked over the boys one by one, this gaze inexplicably contained some deep meaning, it actually gave the boys a chill at the same time.
Afterwards, Su Buyi's eyes stopped on one of the older servants: "Just you, what's your name?"
The boy was startled, and said softly: "Mr. Hui, the servant's name is Li Si."
"That's right." Su nodded approvingly, "It's a name that is easy for people to remember. After a while, you will follow my orders and do whatever you are asked to do."
Li Si felt even more uneasy, and tremblingly looked at his face from the corner of his eye, only to see him rubbing his chin and meditating: "It's still a little bit worse."
As he said that, he took the initiative to walk into the dirt, grabbed two handfuls of dirt, touched Li Si's face twice, messed up his hair, and wrinkled his clothes.
In an instant, Li Si changed from a decent servant to a beggar everywhere on the roadside.
And Su Buyi didn't forget to dress himself up, and wiped the dust on himself, but it wasn't his appearance that was damaged, but a delicate and thin feeling.
Soon, he transformed into a haggard and thin scholar, completely different from the paralyzed old man in the mansion.
It was also wiped with dirt, and Li Si looked at Su Buyi's pitiful and innocent little face with a bit of charm, feeling resentful, and felt that he, a beggar, was really out of sight.
Why is there such a big gap between people?
"You guys, go and prepare a wooden plank." Su Buyi then ordered the others, "You go and prepare some small pieces of white cloth, hurry up!"
The other boys looked at each other, not knowing what he wanted to do at all, but they could only follow his instructions in a daze, and hurriedly searched for wooden boards and white cloth.
Now that the preparations are almost done, Su Buyi asked someone to put the wooden board on the ground, then looked at Li Si, reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled: "Okay, you feel wronged for a while, lie on the wooden board, The rest will take care of lifting you up and walking, don't worry."
That smile was clearly pure and innocent, but for some reason, Li Si felt a bad premonition in his heart, staggered and lay behind the plank, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sir, what exactly does the slave need to do?"
"It's very simple." Su Buyi smiled, "You only need to do one thing."
"That's closing your eyes and pretending to be dead."
Li Si: "..."
His lips trembled, and his complexion was faintly pale, "W-What do you want...?"
The corners of Su Buyi's lips curled up, and he uttered a few words righteously:
"I want to sell myself to bury my father!"
"........."
This time it wasn't just Li Si who trembled, the expressions of the other servants changed drastically, with horror in their eyes.
Su Buyi said gently: "The above are all official statements, but the real purpose is not like this."
The boys breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right! Our ultimate goal is to touch porcelain!"
"You just need to carry the wooden boards and walk. Li Si is responsible for pretending to be dead. Listen to my password and run directly towards a sedan chair. If you succeed in touching porcelain, it will be over!"
"It's good to swarm and disperse when the time comes, don't worry about poor acting skills."
Hearing this, the faces of all the servants are not pale, they are pale and bloodless.
Do they care about acting skills? ?
Touch porcelain?Hit the sedan chair? ?
Which of the people sitting in the sedan chair is not a high-ranking official, isn't this actively courting death!
What the hell is Mr. Su doing? Are you all crazy!
As if he didn't see their changed faces at all, Su Buyi smiled and said with emotion: "I was still thinking about how to see Mr. Qu, but I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic and ask for help. Help me thank the housekeeper, if it weren't for him , how can you do me such a big favor?"
"..."
The boys almost lost their legs and feet, and were so frightened that they lost their minds.
But no matter how frightened and resisted they were, they had no choice but to obey Su Buyi because of their master's order.
Soon, Qu Hanlin's sedan chair moved forward slowly, and he could almost see the shadow. Su Buyi immediately ordered everyone to carry the wooden boards forward. With all the servants' faces ashen ashes and their bodies trembling, a deadly funeral The father's drama was staged impressively.
Su Buyi also sorted out his thoughts, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. When he opened his eyes again, his face showed sorrow and pain, and he began to cry bitterly while holding the wooden board: "Dad, dad...how do you I just left my baby, woo woo woo... Father, my boy is not filial, and I don't even have the money to buy you a coffin, what can I do with my baby."
Li Si, who was lying down pretending to be dead, suddenly heard his earth-shattering cry of ghosts and gods, almost trembling with fright, and his skin got goosebumps.
But he still resisted to stay still, crossed his hands on his chest, desperately implying to himself that I am a dead person, I am a dead person, I am a dead person...
With his eyes closed, he doesn't know what's going on in the outside world. He only knows one thing. Once he moves and is discovered, he will really be a dead person.
It is a very serious crime to deceive the imperial court officials!
A group of crying and crying happened to collide with Qu Hanlin's sedan chair. To be precise, they blocked Qu Hanlin's way home. The subordinate who was sitting in front of the car immediately looked ugly, and waved away again and again: "Go away Go away, bad luck! Do you know who is in this sedan chair, get out of the way, get out of here!"
At this time, Su Buyi gave full play to his thick-skinned features, but turned a deaf ear, and even cried even more sadly.
He even purposely swayed towards the sedan chair, and happened to collide with the sedan chair in an instant.
The wooden plank fell with a slam, and Li Si almost grinned when he fell. He tried his best not to cry out, but he felt a breath lying on his body and cried loudly: "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad! What crime did I do?" Ah, I didn’t expect you to be tortured even if you went, you are not filial!!”
Master Naqu's sedan chair was also wobbly. Seeing that this man dared to complain first, his subordinates got angry and wanted to go down and chase him away.
But this movement also alarmed the people in the sedan chair. Qu Hanlin, who had closed his eyes and rested his mind, felt the shock, frowned slightly, and took the initiative to lift the curtain to look out: "What's going on?"
The subordinate immediately said nervously: "My lord, some people bumped into us with blind eyes, please wait a moment, the humble officer will drive them away."
Qu Hanlin glanced behind him, and saw the young man crying bitterly in front of the board.
The boy was wearing ordinary white clothes, and lying in front of him was a motionless man dressed in messy clothes. The man's face was covered with mud, and he couldn't see his face clearly. From his howling, he seemed to be a father and son.
As if sensing that someone was watching, the young man slowly raised his head, his eyes red from crying looked there, revealing a haggard and fragile little face.
The boy is thin and young, and he seems to be very weak, as if the wind can blow him away if it is stronger.
His tearful and sad appearance instantly hit Qu Hanlin's sympathy, and Qu Hanlin felt as if his heart had been crushed, which was very unbearable.
Seeing that the subordinate wanted to drive people away rudely, he quickly stopped him: "Wait!"
After the words came out, there was a pause before he brushed his beard and sighed: "It's a poor man, call him over, I want to ask him personally."
"Yes." The subordinate was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the adult would be interested in a commoner. He immediately followed the order and brought the boy in front of the adult, and threatened in a low voice, "Answer the adults honestly, did you hear me?"
The boy shrank his neck in fear, his clean eyes were full of fragility and fear, Qu Hanlin frowned even more, and gave his subordinate a dissatisfied look.
With a gentle tone that he had never seen before, he smiled at the young man and said, "Don't be afraid, you look like a scholar. Tell me, who is that person on the wooden board, and why are you blocking here?" ?”
It seemed that because of his encouraging eyes, a little courage rose in his heart. The boy's nervous expression gradually eased, but he still choked up and said, "My lord...I'm so miserable!"
As soon as he said a word, he covered the corners of his eyes with his sleeves and wailed loudly: "The people on the wooden board are my family members. They died because they were accidentally struck by lightning. Let me send the white-haired man to the black-haired man... ...I have no money so I can only wander here, I hope that some kind adults can help me, I must be very grateful."
Before Qu Hanlin could speak, the eyelids of his subordinates twitched. What a guy, this guy thinks beautifully. He knows that it’s much better to be a poor scholar than to be a poor scholar. The signboard is on the pole!Adults must not be deceived!
He immediately wanted to expose Su Buyi's lies, and sneered, "Oh? Why don't you tell me what's wrong with you?"
"Could it be that my lord has a disease in his eyes and can't even see this!" Su Buyi sobbed tearfully, pointing to his own face, "Look at me, my little face is haggard and gray, how decadent, isn't this Is it miserable?"
"..." The subordinate looked at his face, and felt that it was round and fleshy, with ruddy lips, and it seemed that there was no shortage of delicious and spicy food.
"Look at my fingers again." Su Buyi stretched out five fingers, aggrieved, "I have been working all day these days, my fingers are rough, I haven't trimmed them, and there are still dirt in my palms! Isn't this miserable enough? "
"..." The subordinate looked down at his fingers, well, they were white and tender, slender and beautiful, and it seemed that his fingers did not touch the spring water.
"Look at my clothes again." Su Buyi said with tears, "This is the only piece of clothing at home, and I haven't had time to wash it yet. It's already messed up, isn't it miserable!"
"..." The subordinate looked at his spotless white robe, and fell into deep thought.
... Is he a fool, or the other party is a fool.
Why do you feel that such an obvious lie can be fooled? Can this damn be miserable? !
If you want to say that, he is also very miserable, working hard every day in the mansion with so little wages, isn't he even more miserable? !
The subordinate hid his anger in his heart, he couldn't go up or down, he gave Su Buyi a hard look, then turned his head away and waited for Mr. Qu's decision.
As long as Mr. Qu gives an order, whether it's driving people away or killing people, he can do it immediately!
This person is really too hateful!
However, when he turned his head, what he saw was Qu Hanlin's face that was so moved that his eyes were slightly red.
Qu Hanlin, who was always serious, was wiping his tears with a handkerchief, and said with a sob: "This child, it's really too miserable."
subordinate:"……?"
? ? ? ? ?
grown ups? ?What's wrong with you, my lord!
My lord, wake up quickly!
How can you be blinded by such scammers!
"Look at this dress, you are a scholar, you are really a good boy, and your filial piety is commendable."
"Come on!" Qu Hanlin sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.
The subordinate walked over suspiciously, and only heard the adult say: "Go and get him 100 taels of silver."
Subordinate: "...huh?"
Good guy, it's 100 taels for a shot, sir, you are blinded by lard heart! !
Whose funeral father needs 100 taels of silver!
While he was dumbfounded, Qu Hanlin added to Su Buyi: "Take this money to bury your father well, and the rest will be used for studying. You still have a future at a young age, so don't give up on yourself!"
Su Buyi was very moved, and his eyes glowed beautifully: "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
He saluted Qu Hanlin gratefully, a smile finally appeared on his small face, just like the red sun rising at dawn, it made people feel happy just watching it.
Qu Hanlin stroked his beard in satisfaction, and glared at his stunned subordinate: "What? Did you not understand what the old man said?"
"This...is..."
The subordinate was momentarily at a loss for words, so he nodded in agreement, still extremely shocked in his heart.
How could someone bump into an adult and not only be fine but also get a hundred taels of silver for nothing? Why would he be rejected by an adult just after hesitating for a while...
Why is it so unfair between people!
Because of his deep thinking, he didn't notice that he stepped on the corpse below when he gave the money.
It wasn't until a muffled groan came from nowhere that he was startled, moved his feet and searched suspiciously: "What was that sound just now?"
Su Buyi lightly kicked Li Si, who was pretending to be dead, with his toes, and said with a shy expression on his face, "Maybe it's because I ran out of money. I haven't eaten since yesterday, and my stomach protested. Don't blame me."
As soon as these words came out, Qu Hanlin, who was watching this scene from a distance, felt even more sour. There are really not many scholars who are so kind and righteous in the world. They would rather bury their relatives while starving. Yes, if this son can High school must have a bright future.
The more he looked at Su Buyi, the more he liked it. Qu Hanlin even offered to suggest, "I'll send two people to take your father to burial."
"……what?"
The unexpected script made Su Buyi a little dumbfounded, "That's unnecessary, I'm too much trouble for you."
"You're welcome." Qu Hanlin waved his hand generously, "If you rely on yourself, you don't know when it will end. Don't worry, I will help you find two strong people to help you, and let you go back to study as soon as possible."
"Uh..." In an instant, Su Buyi's heart skipped a beat.
It's over, overacted.
He also didn't expect that Qu Hanlin was so sympathetic, if he cried a little, he would be a good person to the end.
This is how to do?
And Li Si, who played the role of the corpse and accidentally screamed out of too much pain, was even more frightened.
Send someone to help = strangers follow along = have to be buried = he will be buried in the ground!
That alone is scary enough, in case he couldn't help moving and was discovered...
At this moment, Li Si's face turned green, and he tried his best not to tremble with fright, but his hands and feet were cold and his back was sweating finely.
But facing this situation, Li Si and Su Buyi had no better solution, so he could only watch and listen to Su Buyi's silence for a moment, and then saluted and thanked: "Then thank you, sir."
"Presumably father's spirit in heaven will also be very happy."
Li Si: "..."
He couldn't help crying inwardly.
Happy, so happy!
