He also lost to Chen Zhongqian. Lushan was obviously unwilling to accept it, but at the same time he admired him very much. The other students were even more grateful to him for donating the prize money.
Liu Xun was so angry that Chen Zhongqian didn't drop out of school even though he made such a big fuss. Instead, he gained a lot of fame. Why is this happening?
But he was afraid that this matter would involve him, so even if he was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything. He could only stand in the corner and sulk.
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Lin Joy stopped several people in their path and asked, "What are you doing walking so fast?"
Those people felt a little guilty and asked, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? What did you say you were doing? Everyone has apologized to my husband, why don't you guys apologize? You guys just made a scene, why? You don't remember it now?"
Don't think that you can have a happy ending casually, she has always remembered it, and there is no way to fool it.
Those people thought that with so many people at the scene, no one would notice, but it turned out that this person kept remembering it, which was really unlucky.
They had no choice but to lower their heads and apologize to Chen Zhongqian, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood you, but we also listened to what others said, and we won't say it again in the future."
Chen Zhongqian said in a low voice, "You guys are just following the wind. If you really get the honor and become an official in the future, I'm afraid it won't be a blessing to the people."
Several people lowered their heads, and Chen Zhongqian pointed at one of them and said, "Madam, he pushed me and I almost fell down."
He suddenly said such a sentence, which made Lin Yuxi unable to deal with it. What kind of snitching behavior is this?
"And he stepped on my feet. My feet still hurt."
Lin Hexi held back her smile, her husband-in-law was so cute, "What else?"
"He kicked me when I wasn't paying attention, and I saw it."
Lin Joy moved her wrist, retaliating with tooth, avenging him, and then raised her eyebrows at him, "Are you satisfied?"
Chen Zhongqian smiled and nodded, satisfied.
After all this fuss, it was now afternoon. As a result, everyone had not eaten yet, so they hurriedly went to eat after leaving.
Lin Yuxi looked for Liu Xun in the crowd, but saw no one. He was running quite fast, so she would look for him next time.
When several people arrived outside, Wei Feng let out the carriage he was riding in, "Do you want to go back? I'll ask the coachman to take you there."
Chen Zhongqian said, "No need. I just earned more than one hundred taels of silver from Master Wei today. It's okay to hire a car. Master Wei can just be busy with his own affairs."
Wei Feng smiled and said, "Chen Langjun is so elegant that he could donate a thousand taels without blinking an eye. Wei really admires him."
This was true. He felt that for Chen Zhongqian, one thousand taels was an amount that he could not even imagine, but he actually donated it like that. This was indeed admirable.
"This competition was conducted in order to prove my innocence. In order to help, Master Wei has contributed money and effort. I feel uneasy with the money. Donating it to the academy can be regarded as doing a good thing for Master Wei. I just hope that Master Wei
Never mind that I have a good reputation."
Wei Feng cupped his hand and said, "You're worrying too much."
Wei Feng didn't force it, glanced at Lin Xixi's ankle, said nothing, and then let the driver drive away.
Chen Zhongqian pulled Chen Zhongda and Liu Zhaofei together, and they went to a small restaurant not far away for dinner. Today, his brain was working rapidly and he didn't eat lunch. He was really hungry.
"We are going back to the village, you can do it yourself." After eating, the Wei family's carriage that regularly picks up Chen Zhongqian has arrived. They are going to pick up Xiaoyu and go back together.
Chen Zhongda said hurriedly, "Brother, can I go back with you today?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Of course."
Liu Zhaofei watched the carriage go away and couldn't help but smile. He didn't know when the reward system mentioned by the dean would be released. If he could get the reward from the academy, the pressure would not be so great.
Several people went back to the village together and got off the carriage at the entrance of the village. Chen Zhongda arrived quickly and waved to Chen Zhongqian and the others, "I will go back first. Brother and sister-in-law, walk slowly. Xiaoyu goes home and does his homework."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Get up early tomorrow and we'll take a bus to the academy together."
"good."
After the three of them left, Chen Zhongda's face darkened and he turned around and entered his yard.
Chen Xiuyun was stunned for a moment when she saw him, "Brother, why did you come home? Are you in Xiumu again so soon?"
Chen Zhongda didn't answer, but just asked, "Where is grandpa?"
"I'm working, I guess I'll be back soon."
There are only so many people in the family. No matter how much Chen Mingyi wants to put on a show, he has to consider the actual situation. It is impossible not to work in the fields. He has not yet become an old man.
Chen Zhongda went back to the house and stayed for a while, then came out of the house when Chen Mingyi came back.
The family members were stunned when they saw him. Yang immediately put on a smile and said, "Oh, my son is back. Why is he back today?"
"I have something to tell grandpa." Chen Zhongda didn't smile, and his face seemed a little angry.
Chen Mingyi felt a little unhappy when his grandson spoke to him in this tone, so he washed his hands in the yard and said, "Come in."
Grandma and grandson entered the upper room, and Mrs. Yang said, "Mom, why do I feel that Zhongda is not very happy? Did dad say something to him?"
Wu glared at her, "What can you say? Didn't he just come back from the academy? I guess the academy has to pay again, and Zhongda came back to ask for money."
In the upper room, Chen Mingyi took his own tea bowl and drank tea, "I'm afraid you came back specially because you have something to say, so just say it."
"Grandpa, something big happened in the academy today. Many students wanted to withdraw their eldest brother from school, saying that he had tuberculosis, and that he had cheated on the exam and his grades were unreal." Chen Zhongda told Chen Mingyi what happened in the academy today.
"My eldest brother was surrounded by many people, all of whom were teasing him to drop out of school. We just came back together."
Chen Mingyi's eyes lit up, "He dropped out of school?"
Chen Zhongda poured cold water on him, "No, the dean hosted a competition and asked all the students in the academy who were dissatisfied with his eldest brother to compete with him. What do you think, grandpa? The eldest brother won all the people who dissatisfied with him and won a thousand dollars.
Two more silver."
"He has one thousand taels?"
Chen Zhongda shook his head, "No, eldest brother donated it to the academy."
Hearing this, Chen Mingyi was furious, "Is he stupid? Why should he donate so much money to the academy?"
"Because the eldest brother has a heart, he thinks he should do this. Grandpa thinks that the money is a pity, and thinks that he should give you a share, because if it weren't for you, there wouldn't be this competition."
Chen Mingyi looked a little uncomfortable, "What do you mean by this?"
"I know this is grandpa's doing. You asked people to spread the news that my eldest brother has tuberculosis and cheated on the exam to get into Yueshan Academy. I know all about it."
