Chapter 45 The Last Person

"Just talk when we meet. Look, my second uncle hasn't given you anything yet." Chen Huaijin walked around the house, quickly took off the small bag on his back, opened it, and took out a bunch of wrapped rice dumplings. .

"It wasn't just after the Dragon Boat Festival. Your grandma was thinking about you and worried that you hadn't eaten the rice dumplings in Yangzhou." Chen Huaijin shook the rice dumplings in his hand. "On the day I set off, she and your mother made them early. I was afraid that they would be eaten. It’s so boring, I flew here with wings.”

Even though Chen Heng was a man of two generations, he still felt his eyes welling up when he thought of his grandma and mother holding a lamp while they were busy for him. The rice dumplings he took from his second uncle became heavier and heavier. He had to gasp for breath several times before he fell into a joke.

Chen Huaijin looked at his appearance which was really interesting. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch his nephew's face, "Silly boy, why do you have to show off in front of your own family? Look at your face, why are you still thin? But in the academy Not eating well?”

"No way, I'm fine in school. Second uncle, today is an unlucky day. When you are free later, I will bring my classmates to see you. There are several people inside who are talking very interestingly. Second uncle meets Definitely like it.”

"This is so bad, I'm just a farmer." Chen Huaijin rarely showed a shy expression. He was afraid that he would embarrass his nephew like this.

Second uncle, this is not like you. Could it be that Chen Gaishan was given a beating and his face was thinned, right?

When Chen Heng heard this, he understood the concerns in his second uncle's heart. He said directly: "If this is the case, there is no need for friendship with such people."

After hearing this, Chen Huaijin felt a hint of joy in his heart and said, "Okay, it's all up to you. By the way, don't share the top two rice dumplings with others. Your grandma made them specially. Egg yolk filling inside.”

Chen Heng has never liked sweets since he was a child, nor is he a taboo, but he only eats very little.

"Sure, I'll make sure to feed it cleanly today so that no one will miss it."

When Chen Huaijin saw that everything had been explained, he stood up and prepared to leave. Chen Heng escorted his second uncle all the way to the door. The two stood at the doorstep. Although they had thousands of words of advice in their hearts, they also knew that the days ahead were long.

"Study hard." Chen Huaijin finally told him.

"Second uncle, too, please pay attention to your health."

The two uncles and nephews looked at each other and smiled. Chen Huaijin waved his hand, signaling Chen Heng to go back quickly. He turned around and walked into the street, following the flow of people towards the end of the long street.

It wasn't until his second uncle was no longer visible that Chen Heng turned around and was about to walk into the academy. Suddenly a strange voice came from behind.

"Little brother, please excuse me, may I ask if this is Leyi Academy?"

Chen Heng turned his head and saw a tall young man standing on the side of the road. He was wearing a conspicuous white dress and a white robe. He had a broadsword on his waist and a long bow on his back. He was holding the reins in his left hand, followed by a horse.

Good guy, whose child is this? This dress is really more domineering than the people on the stage. Chen Heng quickly replied: "This is Leyi Academy. I wonder if brother is here to find someone, or?"

The young man smiled and cupped his hands, and could hardly hide the pride on his face, "I was ordered by my father to come here to study."

Chen Heng took a breath and couldn't help but take a closer look at the other party's dress. I thought to myself: You said you came here to seek revenge, I believe it. Dressed in such a "Jin Ma Chao" style, do you think you are here to study?

"Little brother, I wonder who I want to give this document to?" The young man took out a page of document from his arms. When Chen Heng saw it, he hurriedly said: "Come with me. The master who accepted this matter happened to be in the academy today. ”

Chen Heng explained to Uncle Wang the purpose of the young man's visit and led him into the academy. Uncle Wang saw that he was still holding the reins and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Not to mention the many flowers and plants planted in the academy, it would be even worse if the horse started splashing and collided with someone.

The young man didn't argue, he just threw the reins away, and the handsome horse obediently stood there motionless.

"Aren't you afraid of being stolen?" Chen Heng was worried that Uncle Wang would suffer a loss, so he asked too much.

"It doesn't matter, my horse has a strong temper and most people can't handle it."

Chen Heng didn't know how to evaluate it, so he had to lower his head and continue to lead the way. When I arrived at Master Xu's residence, there was Du Yunjing inside, checking Master Xu's pulse. Because Xu Jinhou also had the task of seeing a doctor, in order to facilitate the students' daily medical treatment, his residence was the only one that was not in the back hall.

When Xu Jinhou saw the young man, he kept his hand on the pulse and smiled at the visitor: "The mountain chief said that new people will be coming in the next two days, but I said why they haven't arrived yet."

The young man folded his hands and saluted, stepped forward and handed over his documents. Xu Jinhou motioned for him to put it on the table. Du Yunjing came up to him and read word by word: "Yangzhou Xin Suzhao?"

"Yangzhou Xin family?" Du Yunjing lowered his head and muttered, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Are you a descendant of Xin Chen, the most righteous hero of the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing someone mentioning the name of his ancestor, Xin Suzhao quickly tilted his head and said, "It's the ancestor of a certain family." By coincidence, the direction of his tilted head happened to be facing Chen Heng.

Xin Suzhao was naturally handsome, but at this moment his red phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, adding a bit of clarity and wantonness. Chen Heng could see the unconcealed joy in Xin Suzhao's heart from the raised corners of his mouth.

Who is this Xin Chen? Chen Heng was a little curious and planned to ask Xue Biao and others about it after they came back.

Du Yunjing was surprised and happy. It wasn't until Master Xu who felt his pulse raised his hand to knock him that he calmed down, but he still refused to stop talking: "My dear Du Yunjing, my father admired Xin Tan's deeds very much, so he gave me this name."

Xin Suzhao was also really surprised. His face turned darker and darker the more he listened, but he just responded lightly.

Master Xu couldn't stand Du Yunjing's chattering, and patiently took his pulse, and told him: "You have too much liver fire, so you should control yourself in the future and avoid fighting with others."

"Yes, Master Xu." Du Yunjing couldn't wait to get up, stepped forward and held Xin Suzhao's hand, "There is still a bed in my room, do you have any luggage? Do you want me to help you carry it?"

Xin Suzhao was a little overwhelmed by the other party's enthusiasm, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no."

"Yunjing, who said he lives in your room?" Master Xu sat in his seat and said with a smile, "Suzhao is only thirteen years old, and he should live in Chen Heng's room. Suzhao, what about you? Which room do you want to live in?"

"I want to live with him." Xin Suzhao pointed at Chen Heng, and Du Yunjing exclaimed that it was a pity. He probably didn't think that he was too enthusiastic to scare others.

Chen Heng was also shocked, looking up and down at Xin Suzhao's figure. Good guy, he barely reached his chest. Such a strong and sturdy man, Master Xu, you said he is only thirteen years old? ? ? ?

Du Yunjing was still not giving up, and followed Chen Heng and Xin Suzhao all the way to the dormitory. Compared with his usual arrogant attitude, the look of him wanting to be at his beck and call really opened Chen Heng's eyes.

After finally persuading Du Yunjing to leave, Chen Heng was about to introduce the empty space on the bed to Xin Suzhao. There were only seven people in their room, and everyone was not fully grown, so the space on the bed was actually quite empty.

But before he could say anything, Xin Suzhao had already pulled the middle bed to the right and lay down on it without any hesitation.

"Brother Xin, this position is occupied." Chen Heng kindly reminded.

"It's okay. I'll apologize to him when he comes back." Xin Suzhao was also tired. He lay on the bed and waved his hands. "What's your name, little brother?"

"Chen Heng."

"Okay, you are the first friend I met in the academy. I see that your body is not very good. If you are bullied in the future, just tell me and I will help you."

Chen Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't keep up with the other party's flying thoughts.

I hope Qian Dayou won't get angry when he sees that his bed has been robbed after he comes back. Chen Heng vaguely felt that with Xin Suzhao in the room, the days to come would be uneasy for a while.

Chen Heng was thinking about Qian Dayou and others, and they were also thinking about Chen Heng.

Since they got up early and left the academy, they had a good time in the city. They visited three blocks and two streets in a row. The group felt hungry. Xue Ke saw them and waved his hand to take them to a restaurant. He booked a table first and reported the dishes.

After settling them, Xue Ke got up and walked towards his own shop. Hengshudian was not far from the restaurant they chose. Xue Ke could see the signboard after walking half a street.

As soon as he stepped in, a waiter came up to greet him and said attentively: "Young master, you are finally here. Our shopkeeper has been waiting for you since early morning."

Xue Ke was very well-mannered and smiled at the waiter: "Do you recognize me too?"

"When the young master came to Yangzhou to study, your portrait was sent to our shop. The other people and I have memorized the young master's appearance and dare not forget it for a moment."

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and call the shopkeeper Li out."

"Young master, you don't know, our shopkeeper Li has been promoted to manager and followed the master's caravan." The waiter brought tea and led Xue Ke to sit down, "Our new shopkeeper, he said he also recognized you. He told me early in the morning that I must tell him when the young master comes."

Xue Ke nodded. Such changes in shopkeepers have happened in the past, and he didn't take it to heart. But until he saw the waiter who had returned, walking in front of him with a familiar face behind him.

"Manager He?" Xue Ke was shocked and angry, and his face became gloomy for the first time.

"Master, I finally waited for you to come." Compared with the last time they met, Manager He's complexion was much rosier at this moment, and his dress became more noble. It can be said that he was in a good mood when he met a happy event.

"Why are you on duty in the city?" Xue Ke stood up from his chair, and his tone was already wrong.

The waiter looked left and right, and seemed to sense that the atmosphere was wrong. Subtly took a step back, holding up the plate with silver in his hand, lowered his head and said nothing.

"I was trusted by the boss, and I met Manager Li who was favored by the boss to be promoted and transferred, so I got the opportunity to come to the city. Master, don't worry, I will not let the boss down this time, and the past foolish things will never happen again."

The boss trusted on the left and the boss trusted on the right. These words were all for himself. Xue Ke felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.

But no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get angry on the spot. Thinking of the aunt standing behind this person, if he, a junior, got angry, wouldn't it expose the contradictions within the Xue family to others?

Looking at the righteous appearance of Manager He, Xue Ke felt so disgusted with a person for the first time. With a cold face, he took fifty taels of silver from the plate in the hands of the second child, and turned around and walked out of the pawnshop.

The sun was shining brightly on the street, and Xue Ke felt the biting cold for the first time when he looked at the endless flow of people coming and going.

Aunt, why is this happening!

Cousin Xue Pan is also nine years old, and he will come out to manage things in a few years. Aunt, are you going to leave someone like Manager He for him? What are you afraid of my father?

We are all members of the Xue family, why is it like this?

Xue Ke was puzzled and returned to the restaurant in a daze. He didn't even have the energy to eat with his classmates, so he just served tea and served as a guest.

Qian Dayou, Jiang Yuanbai and others were not so thoughtful. They just thought he was tired from shopping and just focused on eating. Jiang Yuanbai was halfway through eating when he thought of Chen Heng and said, "Oh no, why did we move all the dishes? Didn't we agree to bring one back for Brother Heng?"

Xue Ke sat in the middle of the group and waved at Jiang Yuanbai, "Just eat. I'll ask the waiter to prepare two more dishes and take them back to Brother Heng."

"Brother-in-law Gao Yi."

Xue Ke nodded. He was in a bad mood and was afraid that he would say too much and let his classmates find out. He just raised his hand to signal Jiang Yuanbai to eat more. He held the tea cup, listened to the noise coming from downstairs, and thought about Xue Zhen's teachings to him in Taixing County.

Book friends, Happy Dragon Boat Festival!!! Remember to eat egg yolk and meat dumplings, which tastes delicious. I remember that when I passed by the highway service area before, I would eat the Jiaxing dumplings in the service area.

Now that high-speed trains are well developed, I don’t have much chance to eat there, hahahaha.
