Chapter 157: Well Deserved!
Zhang Chengxi and Lu Zheng were talking in the cherry blossom forest, Cui Da had been guarding outside, his expression was very nervous, the position he was standing in was the only entrance and exit to this forest, in his heart, this communication between Lu Zheng and Zhang Chengxi was something that no one could disturb.
He couldn't predict the outcome of this conversation, however, just when Cui was suffering from gains and losses, Zhang Chengxi and Lu Zheng had already come out.
"Butler, how did you do that? The old lady asked you to prepare a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, are you not ready? Zhang Chengxi saw Cui Da and said with his head and face.
Cui Da was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Zhang Chengxi meant, he said: "That, second master, this ......"
"Alright, alright, Brother Zheng, I'll go and get you the silver in person! Tonight's cherry blossom feast you are the protagonist, the only protagonist! There are a few other boys in our family who are also on the list, but they are different from you, you are a sure talent, and they still have a long way to go.
Tonight is a chance, if they their tails, don't forget to beat them, hey, don't give them a little color, they still treat you as a bully! Zhang Chengxi said.
He patted Lu Zheng's shoulder very affectionately and said, "Okay, the first show is in our house, and our family has a unique face!" ”
After Zhang Chengxi finished speaking, he rushed to the old lady's yard, but Cui Da stumbled and almost fell.
Rao is city is very deep, and he couldn't hide the shock in his heart, he looked at Zhang Chengxi with wide eyes, and then looked at Lu Zheng, he wondered if Lu Zheng had poured ecstasy soup into Zhang Chengxi.
What's going on? It's only been a while, and Zhang Chengxi's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, how did Lu Zheng do it?
Zhang Chengxi left, Cui Dadao: "Brother Zheng, what did you talk about with the second master?" The second master is so happy? ”
Lu Zheng said lightly: "After all, it is a family, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, if the bones are broken, there are tendons, doesn't the chief housekeeper say the same?" ”
When Cui Da heard Lu Zheng's words, he was choked and only rolled his eyes, what a bullshit family, a liar! If Lu Zheng and the Zhang family were a family, would the old lady still want him to die?
But what Lu Zheng said was exactly what Cui Da said before, this nonsense was said by him Cui Da himself, Lu Zheng is now fighting back with the same words, even if Cui Da has a belly of unhappiness, he can only hide it in his heart and can't show it.
……
At the cherry blossom feast in the evening, the scenic mountain is brightly lit.
The old lady was blind in the dark, and the furnishings in the yard had already been moved, and the old lady was lying alone in the warm pavilion, and all the maids and women were far away.
Everyone knows that the old lady is in a bad mood, who dares to touch her old man's moldy head at this time? The palm lamp was very ten, the second grandmother Hua Hanyun came over, and Xiang Xiang hurriedly leaned over, Hua Hanyun lowered her voice and said:
"How? Did the old lady sleep? ”
Xi Xiang lowered her voice and said: "No, I stayed in the quiet room alone for two hours, and I didn't eat after I came out, so I lay down in the warm pavilion, saying that I was sleeping, and my eyes were open." I said I didn't sleep, I didn't move, and no one dared to disturb me. ”
Hua Hanyun said: "Well, let the chicken soup be boiled in the kitchen, and the lotus seed soup is also boiled for later use, the old lady has a knot today, Tian Zepeng failed to fight, and the old ancestor is not a taste in his heart!" ”
Xiang Xiang said: "I think Brother Zheng is too competitive, and the old lady is not a taste in her heart, right?" ”
"Dead girl, watch out for your mouth!" Hua Hanyun made a gesture of opening her mouth, Xi Xiang shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue, but Hua Hanyun laughed and said, "Remember, you can't say this kind of thing again in the future, let the old lady listen, you can't eat and walk around." ”
The two of them hid in the side hall and talked, and suddenly there was a noise in the courtyard, Hua Hanyun frowned, and Xiang Xiang poked her head out and shouted:
"What's the noise outside, don't you know that the old lady has already rested?"
The old lady in charge ran over and said, "Girl, it's the second master who is here, and let people carry away the table of silver in the yard, why don't you tell the old lady?" ”
"Huh? This ......" Attack Xiang exclaimed in surprise and set his eyes on Hua Hanyun, who was puzzled: "What kind of silver?" ”
"What kind of silver can it be, the 1,000 taels of silver, it was originally prepared for Tian Zepeng, but later, it ...... You know that...... The other things have been collected, but no one dares to touch the silver, I am still going to look for you to see what to do, the second master has taken it now, do you want to tell the old lady? ”
Hua Hanyun suddenly realized and said, "I understand, don't use this matter, the second master is also at home!" ”
"Two girls, what are you chewing on your tongue?" Coldly, a voice sounded, Hua Hanyun and Xianxiang were startled at the same time, and the two turned around, only to see the old lady standing behind them at some point.
The two of them exclaimed in unison, and Hua Hanyun hurriedly greeted him and said, "Old Ancestor, hey, you finally got up, hurry, hurry, prepare soup for Old Ancestor." Ancestor, sit down here, the stove is on fire, and the main hall is here! ”
The old ancestor was helped to sit down in the main hall, lit the lamp, and said, "Who is noisy in the courtyard outside?" ”
"It's the second master who came just now!" Attack the incense road.
While Xiang was talking, Zhang Chengxi came over from the courtyard, and it turned out that he heard that the old lady had gotten up, so he came over to take a look.
"Mother, you look pretty good, but the child is afraid that you won't be able to think about it and get sick again, which is really worrying!" Zhang Chengxi said, he groaned for a while and said:
"Mother, the child has already figured it out, Brother Zheng'er is a Jiren Tianxiang, whatever should be his is his, we can't stop it even if we stop it.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this time the county test is still our family has the advantage, and the brothers are on the list, which is a happy event!
Brother Zheng got the head of the case, and the head of the case went out of the lintel of our Zhang family, which is also a matter of glorifying the lintel of our house, mother, you said that it is not this reason? ”
Zhang Chengxi observed Zhang's mother's expression while speaking, and saw that Zhang's mother was not angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although Tian Zepeng is a seedling, he is too young after all, and the gap between him and Brother Zheng is not a star and a half. After this setback, it is also a wake-up call and spur for him, and the benefits for his back road even outweigh the disadvantages! ”
Zhang's mother frowned slowly, squinted at Zhang Chengxi and said, "Chengxi, why did you figure it out so quickly?" Hey, I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out, I'm worried that you can't help but spoil today's cherry blossom feast for a while, and now it seems that I'm too worried! ”
Zhang's mother is indeed worried about Zhang Chengxi, his son he knows best, Zhang Chengxi's temperament is not good at forbearance, this time the blow is too big, in case he loses control of his emotions, he has paid so much in front of him, and he has fallen short, it will be too much to lose.
And now that Zhang's mother saw that Zhang Chengxi had figured it out, the stone in her heart was also put down, and she asked, "Chengxi, you came here specifically to see me?" Or is there something else? If you don't have anything else to do, you must do a good job of the evening banquet, make it lively, and make it a success. ”
Zhang Chengxi rubbed his hands and said, "Mother, I came here to get a reward!" The 1,000 taels of silver with white flowers I let people carry to the cherry blossom forest, tonight's cherry blossom banquet Brother Zheng is the head of the case, this reward I will send in public, in order to show the spirit of my Zhang family, but also to inspire and spur other students, and strive for everyone to take him as an example, in the next two exams to play extraordinarily, for my Xinhe County glory! ”
Zhang's mother's eyes widened suddenly, her expression instantly froze on her face, she raised her hand, pointed at Zhang Chengxi with her finger and put it down, and then raised her hand again, she raised her hand several times in a row, but she didn't say a word.
Hua Hanyun saw the clue on the side, and she was also shocked by Zhang Chengxi's attitude in her heart, what is going on? In the afternoon, he also said cruel words, slapped the table, glared, and threatened that this matter was not over, and the posture he put on was that he would never give up and must be done to the end.
It's only been a while now, why has it changed, he is calling Brother Zheng affectionate, do you really think you are your own uncle?
"Ancestor...... You ...... "Hua Hanyun came to Zhang's mother's side.
"I ...... I...... I have a stomachache......" Zhang's mother held back for a long time, and finally held back a sentence, she sighed and said: "This is a thousand taels of silver, a thousand taels of silver with white flowers, these silver are enough for ordinary people to live for a lifetime, even if my Yangzhou Zhang family is known as rich and expensive, one thousand taels is by no means a small amount." I only spend a few hundred taels of silver a year on Qingxuguan! Chengxi, do you know? ”
Zhang Chengxi nodded and said, "Mother, the child knows!" However, the child felt that the thousand taels of silver were worth the money. First, Brother Zheng deserves to be the first to be the case, he is a well-known talent in Yangzhou, this is the first time he has won the first place, he should be rewarded!
Second, my Zhang family has a promise first, everyone in Xinhe County knows that today's cherry blossom banquet fulfills this promise, so that Xinhe students know the spirit of my Zhang family, and spur everyone to study hard and take Brother Zheng as an example.
Third, Tian Zepeng and others, including Haoran, Tang'er, Zhen'er, they are a little cocked, today during the day you are here as an example, Tian Zepeng thought that his case was decided, and he was proud and complacent. Today, let him see who is the real case leader, give him a lesson, let him remember, the child believes that he will remember this matter in the future, it will be good for his growth! ”
Zhang Chengxi talked eloquently, and actually said three truths at once, Zhang's mother stopped in her ears, didn't she feel good in her heart, which side is Zhang Chengxi? Why is he speaking for the little bastard of the Lu family everywhere?
At that time, the girls brought the soup to the old lady, and Hua Hanyun saw the old lady's appearance, and her heart moved, and she shouted:
"Don't you see that the old ancestor has a stomachache? Go down, go down, all roll down, things that don't have eyesight, the ancestors raised you waste in vain! ”
