"Why did you take all the money home when you knew you couldn't rob it?"
"ah?"
Cheng Chusi and others were stunned for a moment, and then they seemed to have figured it out, with regretful expressions on their faces.
"Since you brought it home, why don't you take the initiative to hand it over to you, Aye, and maybe I can leave you some pocket money!"
After Li Xuan finished speaking, Cheng Chusi and others all reacted, with distressed expressions on their faces.
"No matter what, you must prepare books today!"
Above, Li Xuancai urged them in a cold voice, no matter how frustrated these second-generation people were.
"yes!"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but tremble. For a moment, they seemed to feel the pressure from Li Xuan that only appeared on Aye, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
However, it only passed by in a flash.
Then, it disappeared.
"Master, I'm going back to buy books right now!"
Cheng Chusi and others bowed in succession, and then left quickly with Li Xuan's nod.
"Gao Ming, you must not be as stupid as them!"
After Cheng Chusi and others left, Li Xuan turned around and said to Li Chengqian.
"Please follow Master's teachings!"
Li Chengqian quickly replied.
After Cheng Chusi and others left Lijiazhuang, they got on the carriage and rushed towards Chang'an City.
"Dalang is back!"
When the housekeeper saw Cheng Chusi in a hurry, his expression changed slightly and he quickly stepped forward to ask.
He knew that this person went to Lijiazhuang to study today. He had only left for an hour, so why did he come back so soon?
"I, Aye, am at home?"
Cheng Chusi asked directly to the housekeeper.
"Go back to Dalang. I went to the army and haven't come back yet!" the steward replied.
"Then I'll go find Grandma!"
Cheng Chusi said something urgently and ran to the backyard.
He didn't bring any books with him on the first day of school. No matter how stupid he was, he realized it on the way back.
This matter is really disrespectful to the Master!
"Dalang, what happened?"
Behind him, the butler knew something was wrong through Cheng Chusi's expression, and asked eagerly.
"I went to the Master to study today, but I didn't bring any books with me!" Cheng Chusi said.
"What?"
Hearing this, the butler's expression also changed drastically.
"Madam should be taking Sanlang with her now. I'll take Dalang to find madam!"
The housekeeper quickly led the way.
Sanlang was Cheng Zhijie's third son, Cheng Chubi. He was just born and was not yet one year old.
"Aniang!"
Entering the back house, Cheng Chusi saw a charming lady sitting next to a rocking bed, teasing the little man inside.
The face and facial features of the little man inside are exactly the same as those of Cheng Zhijie, as if they were carved from the same template.
His face was originally full of gentleness, but as soon as he saw Cheng Chusi, his expression turned gloomy.
"Da Lang, you didn't go to study with the Master, why did you come back so early and skip school?"
"Auntie, the child was driven back by the master!"
Cheng Chusi said with aggrieved face.
"Well, tell me honestly why you were driven back, or else I will send someone to call you back, Aye!" Ms. Cui said in a deep voice.
"Back to grandma, it's because the child didn't prepare any books for this trip!..."
Then, Cheng Chusi explained everything.
Suddenly, Mrs. Cui's almond-shaped eyes widened and her eyebrows stood up.
"Aye, I charged you a whole box of food yesterday? Wasn't it fifty guan?"
"Back to Aniang, that's right!"
Cheng Chusi nodded innocently and said: "At least more than two hundred strings!"
"Okay, good on you Cheng Zhijie!"
Ms. Cui gritted her broken teeth and said coldly, Cheng Chusi shuddered subconsciously.
"As for the two books "Alphabet of Enlightenment" and "Numerical Arithmetic", I have bought several books before. I will ask the housekeeper to bring you two books, and quickly go and apologize to Master!"
"Yes, Aniang!"
After finishing the complaint, Cheng Chusi took the book from the butler's hand and ran away.
Behind her, in the Duke Su's mansion, Ms. Cui called the housekeeper over with a gloomy face.
"The master has been fooling around somewhere again. Send someone to find the master quickly!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The butler trembled and replied quickly.
"Where did you hide the remaining one hundred and fifty coins?"
In the house, there was a flurry of chickens and dogs.
Half an hour later, looking at the at least two hundred dollars in front of her, Ms. Cui gasped with a sneer on her face.
Except for Cheng Chusi who ran out early, the atmosphere in the entire Duke Su's mansion suddenly became depressed.
"I, Aye, am so stupid, I actually hid fifty guan of money from my food box yesterday!"
On the carriage, Fang Yi shook his head and said.
This time today, he really took revenge for the past two days.
"Tsk, I, Aye, am so stupid. I hid at least a hundred guan in my food box yesterday!"
"Hmph, I, Aye, went even further. I hid at least one hundred and fifty strings secretly!"
"ah?"
"So, can I still go back home tonight?"
Everyone looked at each other, a trace of uneasiness flashing in their eyes.
"I only have a few dozen coins on me. If I don't go home, where can I go?"
"Oh, I had known better..."
"What are you worried about? It's not like I haven't been beaten before!"
"Hahaha……"
As if they thought of something funny, Cheng Chusi and others started laughing very unkindly.
…
However, the joy was not over yet. When they walked into Li Xuan's courtyard, everyone could not help but smell the strong aroma of rice.
"Sniff sniff..."
"Gugu~"
Suddenly, several people could not help but hear the sound of drum beating.
He couldn't help but look happy. Following the smell of rice, he pushed open the door of the easternmost hut in the courtyard. Seeing the situation inside, Cheng Chusi and the others couldn't help but froze there. After reacting, they all had expressions of displeasure on their faces.
I can't believe it.
"Master, have you finished your meal?"
“It smells so good!”
Li Xuan and Li Chengqian, who were sitting at the dining table and engrossed in eating, looked at Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi at the door with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Didn't you go home? Why did you come back so quickly?"
Li Xuan calmed down, his face returned to calm, and he asked slowly.
"Back to Master, we have already bought "Alphabet of Enlightenment" and "Numerical Arithmetic" at home, so we just need to go home and pick up the books, and we hurried here!"
Cheng Chusi swallowed his saliva and stared directly at the food on the dining table as he spoke.
He can guarantee that the food on the table is the most delicious food he has ever encountered in his life.
"Master, these meals?..."
"Gugu~"
"Master, I came over here before I had eaten!"
"Didn't you eat?"
Li Xuan seemed to have just reacted. He glanced at Cheng Chusi and the others strangely, and then pointed to a few chairs aside.
"Go put the books away, wash your hands next door, sit here and wait!"
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others looked happy, and quickly put the books in the main hall, then walked out quickly, washed their hands, and then hurried back to the dining room.
Then, sit on a chair each time.
As for the remaining Li Chongyi people, there were no extra chairs to sit on, so they just stood on one side.
However, what made them depressed was that the master and the prince seemed to have forgotten about them, and kept holding the food in their hands and eating quickly.
However, due to etiquette, I couldn't shout at the dinner table, so I could only watch.
After a while, the dining table was clean.
All that's left is a few big white steamed buns in the bamboo basket!
