Chapter 71 Strange

Just as Ling Chu wanted to take a closer look at Lu Chengliu's face, he saw a student hurriedly walking from the academy and said in a loud voice, "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, Master Qiu has something to ask you."

When Lu Chengliu heard that his master wanted to see him for something, he thanked his classmates who came to pass the message, then turned and walked back to the academy.

Ning Chuyi looked away and asked Ling Chu, "What's the problem with Lu Chengliu?"

Ling Chu kept staring at Lu Chengliu's back until he couldn't see it anymore, then he looked away.

Hearing Ning Chuyi's question, he hesitated for a while, frowned and said, "There are two auras on Lu Chengliu that seem to repel each other, causing his appearance to be a little inconsistent. Unfortunately, I only took a quick look and didn't have time to observe more. ”

Ning Chuyi didn't understand these mysterious things, and he didn't see anything wrong.

In his eyes, Lu Chengliu was just like most students, no different.

"The academy, can I go in?"

Ning Chuyi shook his head, "The academy is not open to the public, and outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Although he is the commander of the Jin Yiwei, it is not easy to break in without any reason. If the Censor's Office had known about it, the emperor's records would have been piled high with his information.

Ling Chu also guessed that he couldn't go in casually, "Forget it, didn't you find out where Lu Chengliu lives? I'll find a way to see where he lives another day."

"Okay, if there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can ask Prince Jing for help. After all, this matter is related to him, and he will not ignore it."

Ning Chuyi still had something to do, so he explained a few words and left in a hurry.

Ling Chu drank tea slowly in the teahouse and ordered some snacks, intending to soothe his stomach.

This teahouse is close to Changfeng Academy. After school, Ling Chu found that many students came over to drink tea and chat.

Just as I picked up the snack and took a bite, I suddenly heard the discussion of several students next to me.

"Hey, I heard that Lu Chengliu didn't do well in the exam again this time and only got a B grade."

"In the past, he mostly got first-class grades, but since he broke his head, his grades have been far worse than before. Originally, I expected him to be the first in high school, but if this continues, there is little hope."

"I also heard that his hand was injured and his calligraphy is better than before. I'm afraid God is jealous of Yingcai."

…

Ling Chu didn't expect that he would also listen to the gossip about Lu Chengliu.

It's a pity that what these students said is similar to what Jinyiwei found.

Not being able to hear any more information, Ling Chu had no choice but to leave the teahouse.

The next day, Ling Chu first went to a clothing store and bought two Taoist robes, and then went to a bookstore to buy a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

She planned to go to Changfeng Academy later to see if she could see Lu Chengliu. She had a hunch that the look on his face meant that he was investigating Yu Qing.

The key to the matter of embroidering the moon.

After choosing a bookstore, Ling Chu selected what he needed and planned to go to the front to check out with the shopkeeper.

Unexpectedly, she saw the shopkeeper talking to a man, so she had to stand aside and wait.

"Lu Chengliu, your handwriting is good, but our bookstore doesn't need to copy books for the time being. These twenty pieces of paper are the money you pay for copying books this time. Take it."

Ling Chu raised his eyebrows, such a coincidence?

Finding that Lu Chengliu's back was facing him, Ling Chu simply took the picked items and moved a few steps towards the shopkeeper.

But when he saw the man's face clearly, he looked surprised.

This is——Lu Chengliu?

Although she only had a quick glance at the academy yesterday, she remembered that his skin tone was not that dark?

The more he looked at it, the stranger Ling Chu felt.

Lu Chengliu wore a student uniform in the academy, but now he wears a patchwork uniform.

And Lu Chengliu, who was seen at the entrance of the academy, gave people the air of a poor student, but now he has the simplicity of a farming and studying family.

What's even more strange is that the disobedient aura on his body is gone.

Ling Chu's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. For some reason, she looked at the person in front of her even though they had the same appearance. Why did she feel like they were two different people from the one she saw in the academy?

But isn't this too ridiculous?

It must have been that she didn't see clearly in the academy, which led to this misconception.

After all, she was sitting in a teahouse at that time, which was still some distance away from the entrance of the academy. She only glanced at it hastily, so it was not surprising that she didn't see it clearly.

Perhaps sensing Ling Chu's appraising gaze, Lu Chengliu suddenly turned his head and looked this way.

When he discovered that it was a girl, he was startled and looked away without daring to look further.

When Lu Chengliu heard that the shopkeeper refused to continue copying books, his expression showed anxiety, "Shopkeeper Chen, can you let me continue copying books? It doesn't matter if the price is lower."

Shopkeeper Chen sighed, pointed to a row of bookshelves next to him, and said, "It's not about the price. You copied so many books, but I haven't had time to sell them yet. If you continue to copy, I'm afraid my bookstore won't be able to fit them all in." ”

When Lu Chengliu heard the books on the bookshelf, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that this only source of income would not be saved.

Perhaps seeing the disappointed look on his face, Shopkeeper Chen couldn't bear it, "Well, when the books you copied are sold out, you can copy them again. Don't worry, I will give you the same price."

Lu Chengliu knew that shopkeeper Chen had already helped him a lot. The copied books had not yet been sold, so he really could not continue to copy them.

After enduring the disappointment and thanking shopkeeper Chen, Lu Chengliu walked out of the bookstore holding the twenty pieces of literature.

Ling Chu frowned, glanced at the back, and then stepped forward to pay with his things.

The shopkeeper reached out to take it. Ling Chu pointed to the handwritten book on the counter, "Shopkeeper, this book is well copied. I want to buy a copy."

The shopkeeper was worried that the books copied by Lu Chengliu would not be sold out, so he was naturally happy to hear that she wanted to buy them.

Ling Chu pretended to ask casually, "The man just now is called Lu Chengliu? I think his handwriting is good, why can't he sell the books he copied?"

Perhaps this matter has been kept in mind, and when Manager Chen saw her asking, he didn't hide it.

"Lu Chengliu's handwriting is indeed good, but he can't stand copying day and night. My shop is small, and he copied so much. How can I sell it in a short time?"

"I see that his handwriting is so good, I think he is studying in the academy? Isn't his schoolwork busy? How can he have time to copy books day and night?"

Manager Chen shook his head and sighed, "I heard that his family is poor and he can't afford the tuition. He didn't go to the academy, but studied hard at home.

In order to make a living, he found out that I could copy books here. After taking this job, he copied day and night."

Ling Chu was surprised, didn't go to the academy to study?

Could it be that Lu Chengliu lied to Manager Chen in order to copy more books to gain sympathy?

Perhaps seeing the surprise on Ling Chu's face, Chen, the shopkeeper, was worried that she would regret not wanting the copied books, so he immediately explained.

"Lu Chengliu originally studied at Changfeng Academy. I heard that he often got A grades in his studies, and the teachers in the academy had high hopes for him.

It's just a pity that he fell from the mountain and injured his head, so he had to stay at home to recuperate. If he hadn't spent all the money in the family on treatment, he wouldn't have been unable to pay the tuition."

"Does he have no relatives at home? Why does he rely on copying books alone?"

"I heard that he only has a widowed mother who stays in his hometown."

"Did he fall badly? Did his hands and feet get hurt?"

"No, if his hands were hurt, he wouldn't be able to copy so many books."

Ling Chu lowered his head. The words on the handwritten book were strong and powerful, and they really didn't look like they could be written by an injured person.

But since he wasn't injured, why did the students in the academy say that Lu Chengliu had hurt his hands?
