Chapter 45 The Last Person

"Just talk when we meet, look at Second Uncle, I haven't given you anything yet." Chen Huaijin walked around the house, quickly took off the small bundle on his back, 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 didn't eat zongzi in Yangzhou." Chen Huaijin shook the zongzi in his hand, "On the day I set off, she and your mother rushed to make them. I was afraid they would be bored, so I flew here with wings."

Even though Chen Heng was a human being in two lifetimes, when he thought of his grandma and mother busying him with the lights, he still felt hot in his eyes at this moment.The zongzi he took from his second uncle became heavier, and he gasped for breath a few times before he made himself a joke.

Chen Huaijin was really funny looking at his appearance, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his nephew's face, "Silly boy, what's there to be brave in front of your own family. Look at your face, why are you still skinny. But the food in the academy is not good?"

"No way, I'm fine in the academy. Second uncle, it's not a coincidence today. When you are free later, I will bring my classmates to see you. There are several people who talk very interestingly. Second uncle will definitely like it when they meet."

"It's not good, I'm a farmer." Chen Huaijin rarely showed a shy expression, he was afraid that he would embarrass his nephew by acting like this.

Uncle, this is not like you.Could it be that Chen Yushan was beaten up and his face was thinned?
When Chen Heng heard it, he knew the scruples in his second uncle's heart.He said directly: "If this is the case, there is no need for this kind of person to meet."

After hearing this, Chen Huaijin felt a gleam of joy in his heart, and said, "Okay, it's up to you. By the way, you don't want to share the top two of these zongzi with others. Those are specially made by your grandma with egg yolk stuffing inside."

Chen Heng has never liked sweets since he was a child, and it's not a taboo, but he ate very little.

"Success, I promise to eat it up today, so that no one will miss it."

Seeing that everything was explained, Chen Huaijin stood up and prepared to leave.Chen Heng sent his second uncle all the way to the door. The two stood on the steps of the door. Although there were thousands of words in their hearts, they knew that the future would be long.

"Study hard." Chen Huaijin finally instructed.

"Second uncle too, pay attention to your body."

The two uncles and nephews looked at each other and smiled, and 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 to the end of the long street.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the second uncle 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, if you dare to ask, this place is Yueyi Academy."

Chen Heng turned his head to the side, and saw a tall young man standing by the side of the road, wearing conspicuous white clothes and a white robe, with a big knife on his waist, a longbow on his back, holding the rein with his left hand, and a fine horse following behind him.

Good guy, whose child is this? This outfit is really more domineering than the people on the stage.Chen Heng hurriedly replied: "This is Leyi Academy, I wonder if Xiongtai is looking for someone, or?"

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

Chen Heng gasped, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the other party's attire.I thought to myself: You said that you came here to seek revenge, I believe it.Such a "Beautiful Machao" dress, said to come to study?

"Little brother, I don't know who I want to give this document to?" The young man took out a page of the document from his arms, and Chen Heng hurriedly said: "Come with me, the master who will accept this matter happens to be in the academy today."

Chen Heng explained to Uncle Wang the purpose of the boy's visit, and he was about to lead him into the academy.Seeing that he was still holding the rein, Uncle Wang hurried forward to stop him.Not to mention that there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the academy, it would be even worse if the horse started splashing and bumped into people.

The young man didn't argue, he just threw the rein casually, and the handsome horse obediently stood there without moving.

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

"It's okay, my horse has a strong temper, most people can't handle it."

Chen Heng didn't know how to evaluate, so he had to bow his head and continue to lead the way.When they came to Master Xu's residence, there was actually Du Yunjing inside who was checking Master Xu's pulse.Because Xu Jinhou also had the task of seeing a doctor, in order to facilitate the students to see a doctor on weekdays, his residence was the only one not in the back hall.

When Xu Jinhou saw the young man, he didn't let go of his pulse, and smiled at the visitor: "The head of the mountain said that there will be newcomers coming in the next two days, and I said why haven't they arrived yet."

The young man clasped his hands in salute, and stepped forward to hand over his documents.Xu Jinhou signaled him to put it on the table, and Du Yunjing who was on the side stepped forward and said word by word: "Yangzhou Xin Suzhao?"

"Yangzhou Xin family?" Du Yunjing lowered his head and muttered, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "Are you the descendant of Xin Yan, the number one righteous hero in the Tang Dynasty?"

Seeing someone mentioning the taboo of his ancestor's name, Xin Suzhao hurriedly cupped his hands and turned his head, saying, "It's the ancestor of a certain family." Coincidentally, the direction of his tilted head happened to be facing Chen Heng.

Xin Suzhao was originally born with a dignified appearance, but now his pair of red phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, adding a bit of clarity and wantonness.Chen Heng could see the unconcealable joy in Xin Suzhao's heart from the corner of the other's raised mouth.

Who is this Xin Yan?Chen Heng was a little curious, and planned to inquire with Xue Biao and the others after they came back.

Du Yunjing was surprised and delighted, until Master Xu who was taking his pulse raised his hand and knocked him, he calmed down, but he still refused to stop saying: "Du Yunjing, my father admired Xin Yu's deeds very much, so he named me this."

Xin Suzhao was also really strange, the more he listened, the darker his face became, and he only responded a few times.

Master Xu couldn't bear Du Yunjing's croaking, so he took his pulse patiently, and told him: "You are too angry, you must control yourself in the future, and stop fighting with others."

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

Xin Suzhao couldn't bear the other party's enthusiasm, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "No."

"Yunjing, who said he lived in your house?" Xu Shi sat on the seat, feeling amused and said, "Su Zhao is only 13 years old, so it is reasonable to live in Chen Heng's house. Su Zhao, what about you? Which one do you want to live in?"

"I want to live with him." Xin Suzhao pointed at Chen Heng, and Du Yunjing yelled it was a pity when he saw it.He probably hasn't thought about whether he is too enthusiastic to scare others.

Chen Heng was also shocked, looking up and down Xin Suzhao's figure.Good guy, I barely reached his chest.Such a strong and strong person, Mr. Xu, you said he is only 13 years old? ? ? ?

Du Yunjing still didn't give up, and followed Chen Heng and Xin Suzhao all the way to the bedroom.That look of wanting to be on the saddle, compared with his previous posture with his eyes above his head, really opened Chen Heng's eyes.

After finally persuading Du Yunjing to leave, Chen Heng was about to introduce the vacancy on the bed to Xin Suzhao.There were originally only seven people in their room, and none of them had grown up, so the bed was actually quite empty.

But before he could say it, Xin Suzhao had already pulled the middle bed to the right, and lay down unceremoniously on it.

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

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

"Chen Heng."

"Okay, you are the first friend I met in the academy. I don't think you are in good shape. If you are bullied in the future, just tell me and I will help you out."

Chen Heng couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't keep up with Feiyang's escaped thoughts.

I hope that when Qian Dayou comes back, he won't get angry when he sees his bed being robbed.Chen Heng faintly felt that with the addition of Xin Suzhao in the room, the days to come would be uneven for a while.

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

Ever since they got up early and left the academy, they had a good time playing in the city first.I visited three squares and two streets in a row.A group of people felt hungry, and one of Xue Biao saw them waved and led them to a restaurant, first ordered the table, and then reported the name of the dish.

After settling them down, Xue Biao got up and walked to his shop.Hengshudian is not far from the restaurant they chose, and Xue Biao can see the signboard half a street away.

As soon as he stepped in, his own mistress came up to welcome him and said courteously, "Master, you've come, our shopkeeper has been waiting for you early in the morning."

Xue Biao had a very good self-cultivation, and smiled at Xiao Er: "You know me too?"

"As soon as the young master came to Yangzhou to study, the higher-ups passed your portrait to our shop. I and the others have long remembered the young master's appearance by heart, and dare not forget it for a moment."

"Thank you for your hard work, go and ask shopkeeper Li to come out."

"The young master doesn't know. Our shopkeeper Li has been promoted to be in charge and went with the main caravan." Xiaoer brought tea and led Xue Biao to sit down. "Our new shopkeeper, he said he knows you. He told me early in the morning that the young master must tell him when he is here."

Xue Biao nodded. This kind of change in the shopkeeper had happened in the past, and he didn't take it to heart.But until he saw Xiao Er who had gone back and forth, walking towards him with a familiar face behind him.

"Treasurer He?" Xue Biao was startled and angry, and his face became dark for the first time.

"Master, I'm finally looking forward to you." Compared with the last time we met, Shopkeeper He's complexion is much more ruddy at this moment, and his attire is becoming more expensive. It can be said that people are refreshed on happy occasions.

"Why are you on duty in Fucheng?" Xue scorpion stood up from the chair with a 'babble', and his tone was already beginning to be wrong.

Xiao Er looked left and right, and seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere.She took a subtle step back, held up the plate with the taels of silver in her hand, and bowed her head without saying a word.

"Being trusted by the boss, and meeting Li Guanshi who was favored by the boss for promotion and transfer, this gave me the opportunity to come to Fucheng. Don't worry, young master, this time I will live up to the trust of the boss, and the past foolish things will never happen again."

The one on the left is trusted by the owner, and the one on the right is entrusted by the owner.What you say inside and outside the words is for yourself.An uncontrollable evil fire rose in Xue Biao's heart.

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

Seeing shopkeeper He's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, it was the first time that Xue Biao was so disgusted with a person.With a cold face, he took 50 taels of silver from a second-hand plate, turned around and walked out of the pawn shop.

The sun was shining brightly on the street, Xue Biao looked at the constant flow of people, but felt a biting chill for the first time.

Auntie, why is this!
Brother Xue Pantang is also nine years old, and in a few years he will come out to take charge in person.Auntie, are you going to keep someone like Shopkeeper He for him?What are you afraid of my father?

It's all from the Xue family, why is this so.

Xue Biao couldn't figure it out, so he returned to the restaurant in a daze.I didn't even have the energy to eat with my classmates, so I just stood by with tea as a companion.

Qian Dayou, Jiang Yuanbai and others were not so delicate in their minds, they all thought that he was tired from shopping and only cared about eating hard.But Jiang Yuanbai was halfway through eating, thinking of Chen Heng, he said: "It's broken, why did we move all the dishes, didn't we agree to bring a copy back to Brother Heng?"

Xue Biao sat in the middle of everyone and waved his hand towards Jiang Yuanbai, "You just eat, I will ask Xiao Er to prepare two other dishes, and then bring them back to Brother Heng."

"Brother Gao Yi."

Xue Biao nodded, he was in a bad mood, and he was afraid that his classmates would find out if he talked too much, so he just raised his hand to signal Jiang Yuanbai to eat more.He held his teacup, listened to the noise from downstairs, and thought about what Xue Zhen taught him in Taixing County.

　Book friends, Happy Dragon Boat Festival! ! !Remember to eat meat dumplings with egg yolk, it tastes very delicious.I remember passing through the high-speed service area before, and I had to eat Jiaxing rice dumplings in the service area.

　　Now that the trains are developed, there is no chance to eat them, hahahaha.
