Chapter 161: A Few Words for Your Father
() An Shiqing's treasurer of the official post:
"Shopkeeper Cui, go and clear out all the people in the room. ”
"Hey!" the shopkeeper Cui replied and went upstairs to the guest room.
Zhong Zhenzhou suddenly shouted: "No!"
The footsteps of the shopkeeper Cui stopped at the staircase, and he was sweating in embarrassment.
Zhong Zhenzhou had told everyone that his useless younger brother had gone back to Longling first. If Zhong Zhaoming was cleared out of the room by Shopkeeper Cui, wouldn't it be tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of him, the third son of the Zhong clan in Longling!
Seeing that Cui's shopkeeper was standing still, someone made a mockery:
"Hmph, what's wrong with this world now, I can't even tell the difference between dignity and humility with just a shopkeeper. ”
The lord of Zhongzhou, the third son of the Zhong clan in Longling.
Listen to which of them-
For many people, this is not a multiple-choice question at all, okay?
Of course, it's up to the county lord!
What kind of thing is he, Zhong Zhenzhou!
The shopkeeper of this official post is too disproportionate!
An Shiqing didn't care, shook his fan lightly and said leisurely: "The county lord came forward to carry out the compulsory clearance, which is to save face for some people." If those rough people from the Pengyu Army came, it would not be such a peaceful scene now. ”
Shopkeeper Cui hurriedly spread his hooves and climbed the stairs, looking very attentive.
Zhong Zhenzhou looked at Zhong Ding.
Those who were present were able to suppress An Shiqing...
I'm afraid his father doesn't have that weight.
"Zhong Sangongzi, don't look at it. Shopkeeper Cui has charged you Zhong how much benefit fee, and I will ask him to return it to you twice later. An Shiqing's way of speaking was soft, but there was a hint of her tough attitude in her voice. She glanced at it and pretended to say, "Yo, in such a big scene, Zhong Sangongzi didn't even wear a sword." Where's your sword?"
While they were talking, Shopkeeper Cui cleared the people upstairs.
Only Zhong Zhaoming was cleared out.
With so many big people downstairs, who wants to miss such a scene? Many juniors are crowded outside, lying on the windowsill, lying on the roof, trying their best to squeeze their heads, and they can't hear what the people inside say, even if they look at it.
Zhong Zhaoming missed, it was forced.
His father locked him in his room and put up a barrier.
The barrier cannot be broken from the inside, but it can be opened from the outside.
When Shopkeeper Cui released him from the room, he was relieved.
Zhong Zhenzhou was slapped in the face in the end.
But who cares if his face hurts or not, and whether his face is bright.
More people just laughed at his disgrace.
When Zhong Zhaoming came out with Cui's shopkeeper, he heard Pei Yunling and Zhong Ding say:
"Before the semester is over, he will drop out early, and there has never been such a precedent in Qingtai since ancient times. If Sect Master Zhong insists on this, Qingtai will not force the little prince to stay. However, at that time, Qingtai will tell the world the reason for this. ”
Qingtai Pei's family wants to retain its reputation, doesn't Longling Zhong's family care about reputation?
Definitely cares.
"Zhong is not insistent, but he just wants to take a long vacation with the dog..."Zhong Ding smiled extremely restrainedly, looking like he was wearing a fake smile mask on his face.
Pei Yunling said fairly: "If there is no funeral, marriage leave, ancestor worship, etc. in the disciple's family, other reasons for leave will not be accepted." Sect Master Zhong, if the little prince is unwell, Qingtai will take care of him. ”
After speaking, he looked at Zhong Zhaoming.
Zhong Zhaoming's mental state is not very good, but he doesn't look like he's sick, but he seems to be frightened by the current scene.
"Pengyujun is coming. The county lord doesn't have that much time and energy to spend here with everyone. An Shiqing used these two sentences to express his impatience, and also reminded everyone that it was urgent to clear the official post. "Since the little son of the Zhong family has appeared, let him make his own decisions, whether to return to Longling with his father and brother, or follow the second son back to Qingtai to complete his studies, choose for himself. ”
"That's fine. Zhong Ding smiled confidently.
The son is his, born in Longling, and grew up in Longling, so he will naturally listen to him as a father.
Qiao Song was at the door of the official post and beckoned to Zhong Zhaoming.
"Brother Zhong. ”
In addition to him, other classmates basically came.
Zhong Zhaoming's heart was filled with an indescribable taste.
"Little boy, you are talking. The people around him who were not very related urged him to make a choice quickly, "Do you want to go with your father and brother, or go with Pei Ergongzi?" No matter what you decide, your father and brother, Pei Ergongzi, and we all respect your intentions. ”
Zhong Zhaoming had a hard time choosing.
It was his father and brother after all.
But Qingtai is also where he yearns.
The four Zhong brothers, the first three brothers above him, have not received a clear post from Qingtai. In other words, the entire Longling Zhong clan is currently the first and only disciple who has obtained the qualification to go to Qingtai to listen to the school.
This honor is not for everyone.
If he follows his father and brother today, he is afraid that the Qingtai Pei clan will not recognize him as a disciple.
Zhong Zhaoming was in a state of struggle and panic, and did not speak for a long time.
Even if he didn't make it clear, Zhong Ding was still very satisfied with his submissive appearance.
Zhong Ding seemed to have expected such a situation a long time ago.
He smiled calmly and said to Pei Yunling: "Pei Er Gongzi also saw it, and the dog was frightened. When someone Zhong brought the dog back to Longling to appease him for a few days, he personally sent him to Qingtai to listen to the teaching. ”
An Shiqing, a-stirring stick, opened his mouth, "Sect Master Zhong helps your son make decisions, we have nothing to say." Incidentally, to help Qingtai make decisions, but you will lose your identity. Your uncle, the sect master of the Zhong clan in Longling, can't control the head of the Pei clan in Qingtai. ”
Someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, Sect Master Zhong." The county lord was right. Since Qingtai started the school, there has never been a precedent for giving a disciple a long vacation because he was frightened. Even if the little boy is too frightened and scared out of illness, then Pei Er Gongzi's Qihuang technique has been instructed by the old medicine veteran, can it still cure the little boy.
If you insist on bringing the little boy back to the sect today, and the people who turn back to Qingtai will not admit this disciple, even if you personally send the little boy back to Qingtai, Qingtai may not be willing to accept him a second time. The Longling Zhong clan finally produced a good seedling that was recognized by the Qing Dynasty, and he dropped out of school before he started cultivating, so wouldn't this matter become a humiliation for the Longling Zhong clan. So, Sect Master Zhong, before making a decision that outweighs the cost, I advise you to think carefully. ”
Zhong Ding glanced at the man disapprovingly.
Zhong Zhenzhou jumped out again: "This is our Zhong family's family matter, what the hell are you fooling with here! Qingtai has set a precedent for the county lord, why can't he set this precedent for my brother!"
Hearing this, many people were surprised.
Some people even laughed at him explicitly: "Zhong Sangongzi, are you comparing your younger brother with the county lord? ”
"The county lord is shocked, if it weren't for her kindness, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand up and talk to her. If I can recruit the county lord into the house, let alone set a precedent, I am willing to step down and give her the position of the sect master!"
"Eh, low-key, low-key. An Shiqing pretended to be modest, and stirred the muddy water in front of him again. "You shouldn't care about the question of where Young Master Zhong is going now, and you can't always focus on me. You have to think about it, Zhong Xiaogongzi is gone, and there will be one less place for this year's listening disciples. And who will spend this place, don't you all want to fight for it?"
What a word to wake up a dreamer!
Almost everyone looked at Pei Yunling, saying good things about their son and nephew in front of him.
Longling Zhong's is not a rare thing, but it is rare and tight.
If it goes on like this, it's basically a foregone conclusion-
Qingtai Pei's family doesn't recognize him as a disciple!
Zhong Zhaoming began to panic.
In a hurry, he said loudly: "Who said that I am going back to Longling with my father and brother, I want to go back to Qingtai to continue studying!"
His voice drowned out everyone.
An Shiqing smiled faintly.
This kid doesn't push him behind his back, he's afraid he's going to keep shrinking there and waiting for others to stand up for him.
Seeing Zhong Ding looking over, An Shiqing, the driving force behind the scenes, immediately made a gesture that it had nothing to do with him.
Zhong Zhenzhou panicked, and said in a louder voice: "Brother, didn't you tell me before that you wanted to go back to Longling with me and my father!"
Zhong Zhaoming already knew his secret, and knew the biggest secret that the Zhong clan of Longling was harboring.
He must not be left outside!
He must be brought back to Longling and strictly guarded!
Zhong Zhaoming no longer has a brain, and he also knows that he will not die well after returning to Longling.
"I don't! I won't go back!" he ran behind Pei Yunling and hid, only a voice came out, "I want to go back to Qingtai with my second brother!"
Zhong Zhenzhou said gloomily: "Do you know that your second brother will make our second brother feel cold!"
If the person standing in front of Zhong Zhaoming was not Pei Yunling, I am afraid that Zhong Zhenzhou would have gone up to rob people a long time ago.
Zhong Zhenzhou didn't take Qingtai's second son in his eyes before, but after the two slapped each other, he began to be particularly jealous of Pei Yunling.
"It's strange, Xiao Gongzi Zhong has expressed his position, why is this Third Young Master Zhong still unforgiving..."
Some people are starting to get suspicious.
Zhong Sangongzi is in such a hurry to bring people back to Longling, what ulterior motives can't he do?
"That's it. Zhong Ding compromised.
Zhong Zhenzhou was scared.
He shouted in a louder voice, "Father!"
Even if you kill his younger brother on the spot, you can't let it out of your control!
Zhong Ding warned him with his eyes.
Instead, he looked at Pei Yunling and beckoned to Zhong Zhaoming behind Pei Yunling.
"Zhao Ming, Wu'er, come over and explain a few words to your father. ”
Zhong Zhaoming stepped forward.
Before he could stand still in front of his father, he was seized by the hand that held the sword.
When his father's rough thumb pressed on his wrist, he suddenly felt as terrifying as if he was on the verge of an abyss with no way out, and he was terrified and chilled all over his body.
As if forced, his eyes were almost wide to the limit, and his father's dark eyes were reflected in a pair of trembling pupils.
Zhong Ding spoke: "Wu'er, in Qingtai, you have to talk less and listen more, and if you talk too much, you will lose, you know?"
His meaningful words were full of warnings.
Zhong Zhaoming wanted to nod his head, wanting to withdraw his hand from the calloused palm, but found that he did not have a master.
His body is dominated by fear.
He even forgot how to breathe.
It wasn't until Lai Jiang, the commander of the Pengyu Army, appeared, that Zhong Ding let go of his youngest son's hand.
