Chapter 5 Unjust Encounters (Part 1)
Hong Yu nodded and asked with a smile: "Have you encountered something recently?"
Hong Xi was actually nervous. Their servants thought that Hong Yu was dead this time, so they dared to be so negligent. Now this little devil who has always been a slaughter in the fight has come back to life. He must settle the accounts. Hong Xi was ready to be punished and was about to mourn "Brother Buttocks", but he didn't expect Hong Yu to come and just asked this question.
Hong Xi’s connections in the Hong Mansion are indeed much wider than those of a little maid. He thought for a while and asked, “Young Master, what are you asking about?”
"I just met my elder brother, and he seemed to be worried."
Hong Xi thought for a while and said, "I heard that Young Master Lie is not doing well in the academy. There are a few students who are very popular among teachers and often join forces to squeeze out Young Master Lie."
Hong Yu's face turned cold: "Go and check, what happened these days!"
"yes."
Hong Xi took the order and this is the benefit of having a child. They were born in the Hong family in the Hong family, and they already recognized in their hearts that they were members of the Hong family. Even if they were dissatisfied with Hong Yu, Hong Yu's orders must be implemented very loyally.
After Hong Xi left, Hong Yu sat cross-legged in the room, closed his eyes and meditated, digesting the previous achievements in the library.
Hong Shen was still sitting in the bamboo forest. He had already seen that Hong Yu wanted to take care of Hong Lie. Although he felt that Hong Yu was indeed more sensible than before, he also felt that he was a little overestimated.
The academy that Hong Lie attended was the famous Liling Academy, a holy place in the minds of scholars in the Daxia Dynasty, and where the Confucian sects are located.
The scholars in Liling Academy are not only very literary, but also not those who are in the traditional sense without any power. On the contrary, the Confucian school can be ranked alongside the Taoist school because the scholars from Liling Academy are all unique. In terms of martial arts and mental methods, the foundation of Liling Academy is no worse than that of Yuqing Temple.
Hong Lie's grades in Liling Academy were not outstanding, but they were also average. Now he is in the early stage of the eighth-grade body Gang. He has studied two of the six Confucian classics carefully and read four of them. Even Hong Lie was so depressed that he was squeezed. What can Hong Yu, a waste second-generation ancestor?
Because Hong Xi had neglected Hong Yu before and had a ghost in his heart, this time he did a very quick job. It took only half an hour before Hong Xi rushed back and immediately reported as soon as he entered the door: "Young master, the young man has already found out."
"explain!"
"Yes. Three days ago, Young Master Lie received an invitation to attend a poetry meeting, but after Young Master Lie went there, Zong Xinyue from their class and several classmates stopped him at the door, saying that today's poetry meeting can only allow the middle and middle stages of the eighth grade, and Young Master Lie could not meet this standard, so they refused to allow Young Master Lie to enter.
Young Master Lie argued with them, why should I invite me if that is the case? Zong Xinyue and others said with a slight smile that the servants in charge of notifying were ignorant. Unexpectedly, the descendants of the Hong family were already eighteen years old and had not reached the middle stage of the eighth grade of body Gang.
Miss Song was also next to him at that time. Master Lie was extremely ashamed and angry. He wanted to make a desperate move, but was easily pushed out by them. Those people were all in the middle stage of the eighth-grade body Gang. Master Lie was not an opponent to deal with any of them, let alone them together?
And then the new teacher Du from the academy came out and scolded Master Lie sternly. Master Lie did not dare to talk back to the teacher and came back in shame and anger. I heard that he was alone in the house that night and drank all night for a drink."
Hong Yu's face was extremely ugly. These people clearly made a trap on purpose, just to embarrass the elder brother! And that Teacher Du is not a thing, and he helps evil, so how could he have the style of being a role model?
Miss Song in Hongxi's mouth is Song Youran, the eldest daughter of the Song family among the four pillars. She is seventeen years old this year. She is in the same class as Hong Lie. She is the dream lover of her elder brother Hong Lie. However, the Song family looks down on the Hong family, which is destined to have no future, and refuses to marry her daughter to Hong Lie.
Hong Lie did not dare to resist his grandfather's arrangement, so he married his current sister-in-law. However, anyone in the entire Hong family could see that his eldest brother was not happy after marriage.
Hong Yu felt so humiliated in front of his beloved, and his lungs were irritated!
But he was also keenly aware of a problem: "This happened three days ago, what does it have to do with today?"
Hong Xi continued: "Originally, Young Master Lie is proficient in the "Book of Filial Piety", so the young master always takes care of the homework for the "Book of Filial Piety" in the class and then delivers it to the teacher. However, after Teacher Du came, he always picks on Young Master Lie. After saying that he is not worthy of being a nobleman, he sometimes said that his cultivation is too low. Today, he even cancels the errand for Young Master Lie and gives it to Zong Xinyue!"
Hong Yu understood that he met his elder brother just now, and he was depressed because of this matter.
Hong Xi was also very angry: "The most hateful thing is that the excuse that the Du surnamed was to say that Young Master Lie did not work hard enough! But everyone knows that Young Master Lie is the most diligent in the class. He goes the earliest every day, leaves the latest, and is diligent in asking the teacher for advice! But this one named Du actually slandered Young Master Lie so much!"
Hong Yu sneered: "Zong Xinyue? The Zong family, the top six treasure halls, isn't it?"
"It's her. Including the last poetry meeting, the people who specialize in opposing Young Master Lie are all led by her."
"And the one with the surname Du, what's the name?"
"Du Jincheng."
Hong Yu said lightly: "What a cool and slutty mentor of Confucianism who is qualified to enter Liling Academy to teach, he is so snobbish! This is when we see that our Hong family is no longer able to do it. I think that the Zong family, which ranks first in the six treasure halls, will naturally replace our Hong family and become the new four pillars of heaven!"
Hong Xi was also furious: "Imagination! Our Hong family will never fall!"
Hong Yu really didn't expect that a mentor could be so despicable. He thought in his heart and nodded to Hong Xi: "This time the errand was done well, and I'll get a reward of ten taels of silver by myself."
Hong Xi was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master."
After he stepped down, Hong Yu also went out, familiar with the road, and soon arrived outside his elder brother's yard.
The servants in the yard bowed and bowed when they saw him, but no one stopped him. Hong Yu entered the room, and Hong Liezheng was drinking a bottle of wine alone, without any vegetables.
"It's the second brother." Hong Lie smiled bitterly, Hong Yu did it and said angrily: "Brother, I know everything, we can't just let it go."
Hong Lie waved his hand slightly: "Forget it, after all, it's all useless for us. If our brothers can have a good qualification, the power and wealth of the Hong family will not be cut off from us. Who dares to underestimate us? Alas..."
Hong Yu said something to his mouth, but when he saw his eldest brother's decadent and lost appearance, he swallowed it back and silently took the bottle and drank it with him.
Hong Lie smiled, brothers, you can sip me, I don’t need to say anything more.
...
In the evening, Hong Yu returned to his room. He drank a lot of wine, but it was very meticulous.
This world is very developed and the winemaking technology is particularly mature. For example, the wine they drank today, Hong Yu estimated that according to the standards of his previous life, it should be around fifty degrees.
When he first came here, he subconsciously regarded this world as the ancient times of his previous life, but as time went by, he found that there might not be the kind of material prosperity here like the large-scale industrialization. However, the various technologies here are very advanced and the level is not much worse than the previous life.
Hong Yu actually has no alcohol tolerance, not to mention that young people mainly rely on their bodies to drink alcohol. His body is still relatively weak now. However, when Hong Yu took the third sip, the ancient magic elephant totem in Hong Yu's body suddenly woke up!
Then this savage elephant absorbed all the alcohol in Hong Yu's body without hesitation!
The smell of alcohol was sucked away by it, and Hong Yu was just drinking water. Apart from sprinkling a few more pee, he didn't feel anything.
He didn't expect that the ancient beast actually liked to drink!
So he is very awake now, and in the Tianquan acupoint, the ancient demon elephant totem is already sleeping soundly, and the wine is soaked in the sky.
He rested in the room for a while, then sneakily crawled out of the window.
Hong Shen laughed in the dark.
There are Xiaoling, Hong Xi and two other maids downstairs. No one knows that Hong Yu has sneaked out. This sneak route has been used by the owner countless times, and it can be called "long-term test" and has not been discovered.
But what he has to face now is to think that the third grade of saints is revealed.
He followed the established route and avoided people all the way to the back garden of Hong Mansion. Under a remote courtyard wall, Hong Yu found ropes and flying claws from under a stone on one side. He was about to hook the wall and flipped out, but Hong Shen suddenly appeared in front of him and smiled and said, "Young Master Yu, you'd better go back."
Hong Yu was stunned and buried the rope and flying claws again in dejectedly: "Grandpa asked you to see me, right? He has invested a lot this time and has specially mobilized a third-grade saint."
Hong Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Others can't look down on Young Master Yu." He said, looking at the stone on the ground. Hong Yu looked as if he was taken for granted: "Uncle Shen, don't take away my things. If you don't look at me in the future, I will rely on these things to sneak out."
Hong Shen was immediately amazed and laughed.
Hong Shen "escorted" Hong Yu back, and Hong Yu muttered in his heart, no wonder he always felt that someone was looking at him recently.
Hong Yu had a headache with such a master following him. He didn't know that his novice magic appearance could be hidden from Hong Shen's spiritual sense, so after thinking about it, he still felt that it was impossible to escape under the surveillance of a third-grade super master of showing saints.
But Hong Yu had already made up his mind that his personality was obviously not suitable to be the head of the Hong family. It would be better for the Hong family to have a eldest brother to inherit it.
