Wei Chen's force was so strong that a small patch of red was visible to the naked eye on Sheng Changfeng's forehead.
Sheng Changfeng wanted to cry but didn't dare. He could only purse his lips and look at Wei Chen aggrievedly. After a while, he took out a small notebook from his pocket.
"Well, that's it."
Wei Chen took it and saw that it was the dictation homework he had assigned to this naughty kid yesterday, and he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
When Gu Tingye saw what Sheng Changfeng took out, he couldn't help rolling his eyes, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
This kid is so evil-minded that he bets his homework against me. If I beat him, will I still have to do his homework for him?
Wei Chen caught a glimpse of Gu Tingye's face, laughed dryly, and pulled Sheng Changfeng to Gu Tingye: "Uh...ah no, Brother Bai, Changfeng is young and has a naughty temper, please don't mind."
"It doesn't matter, it's a small matter."
Gu Tingye said politely to Wei Chen, but he felt quite strange in his heart. It seemed that Wei Chen was not much older than Sheng Changfeng, and when he preached, he seemed to be an elder.
However, to Gu Tingye's expectation, Sheng Changfeng actually listened to Wei Chen's words. As soon as Wei Chen waved, he obediently apologized to Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye was surprised.
If he remembered correctly, this child named Chang Feng seemed to be the son of Tong Fan just like Sheng Changbai who went to receive the bride price earlier.
And judging from his performance just now, this guy is clearly a playboy. How could he be so submissive to Wei Chen, a guy of his own age?
Thinking of this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but look at Wei Chen with interest, who was educating the naughty child earnestly, with a bit more amusement in his eyes.
Wei Chen, Wei Xingyun?
Seems interesting...
Chapter 94 Grilled Fish
Gu Tingye's pseudonym was Bai Ye, and he came to Yangzhou from Bianjing with the recruitment team of Zhongqin Bofu because he received a letter from his grandfather, Mrs. Bai, who was ill.
Mr. Bai knew that his time was short, so he told in the letter that he would pass all the family property to Gu Tingye, hoping that he would return soon to prevent the property from falling into the hands of others.
This other person refers to the second, third, and other relatives of the Bai family.
After receiving the letter, Gu Tingye hurriedly set off for Yangzhou. It happened that Uncle Zhongqin was going to Yangzhou to recruit people, so Gu Tingye got on the Yuan family's boat.
When the ship was still three days away from Yangzhou, Gu Tingye received news that his grandfather had sailed westward.
Gu Tingye was heartbroken when he heard the news of his grandfather's death. However, Gu Tingye was still Gu Tingye. Despite his grief, he was still able to analyze the situation calmly.
Gu Tingye understood that Mr. Bai was dead and he was not familiar with the place in Yangzhou. If he went to the Bai family hastily, he would only fall into the enemy's trap. Not only would he not get the inheritance rights, but he might also be in trouble.
He needs to wait for the right moment.
This opportunity is three days later, the day of Mr. Bai's funeral.
Before that, Gu Tingye had to remain anonymous, try not to attract the attention of the Bai family, and ensure his personal safety.
I would like to ask, is there any safer place in Yangzhou City at this time than a grand banquet in a grand mansion where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather?
Therefore, after Gu Tingye arrived in Yangzhou, he was not in a hurry to separate from the Yuan family. Instead, he came to the Sheng family with them in the name of watching the fun, mingled with the guests, and passed the time with the pot throwing show.
Unexpectedly, I met two wonderful people, Wei Chen and Sheng Changfeng, on this pot throwing ground.
Sheng Changfeng was extremely well-behaved in front of Wei Chen, but his eyes still glanced at the wooden slip in Gu Tingye's hand from time to time. Apparently, he was not very convinced of Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye couldn't help but smile when he saw this. The gloom in his heart for the past few days also dissipated a lot. Suddenly, he realized something again.
There were so many guests in the pot field, why did Sheng Changfeng challenge him by name?
Gu Tingye glanced at the Tuomu Shi in his hand, and if he realized something, it must be that the pot-throwing skills he had previously shown on the court were too superb, which attracted the attention of others, and Sheng Changfeng was just one of them.
At the same time, I was a little lucky. Fortunately, I didn't really get into a gambling fight with Sheng Changfeng. Otherwise, if he made a big splash, he would definitely attract the attention of the Bai family.
"It seems that throwing the pot too well may not be a good thing. I was just having fun to kill time, but I almost got into trouble!"
Thinking of this, Gu Tingye couldn't help but smile bitterly. He no longer had the interest to throw the pot. He shook his head and threw the wood on the eucalyptus table.
Gu Tingye cupped his hands towards Wei Chen and said, "Brother Wei, Gu has something important to attend to, so I'll take the first step."
Gu Tingye looked at Wei Chen with a bit of gratitude. After all, Wei Chen stopped his gambling fight with Sheng Changfeng and indirectly helped him.
When Wei Chen heard that Gu Tingye was about to leave, he was slightly startled, and then returned the greeting with a smile: "Brother Bai, please."
Although Wei Chen had a good impression of the cheerful and generous Gu Tingye, he did not try to retain him.
At this time, Gu Tingye was a thorn in the side of the Bai family, and the Bai family might send someone to assassinate him at any time.
Gu Tingye is highly skilled in martial arts and can meet
Wei Chen doesn't have the ability to turn evil into good fortune. If he hangs out with Gu Tingye, Wei Chen won't be able to reason with him if he gets into trouble.
Therefore, it is better to keep some distance from Gu Tingye for the time being. Let's get acquainted with each other today, and there will be many opportunities for deep friendship in the future.
After Gu Tingye left, only Wei Chen and Sheng Changfeng were left staring at each other.
Wei Chen drove Sheng Changfeng to his second brother's study to practice calligraphy, while he stayed in the pot throwing field. After watching others throwing pots for a while, he felt a little bored, so he turned around and went to Qinyun Courtyard.
At the entrance of Qinyun Courtyard, the gatekeepers, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao, saw that Wei Chen was coming. They quickly stood up and saluted. Wei Chen gestured to them to be silent, and then tiptoed into the courtyard.
When he walked to the edge of a secluded rockery, Wei Chen suddenly smelled a smell of smoke. He stopped and listened carefully, and sure enough he heard the crackling sound of burning vegetation.
Wei Chen looked around, and then saw a wisp of green smoke rising from behind the rockery, and could faintly smell the aroma of grilled fish.
Oh, you are going against the wind!
Today's Qinyun Academy, under the management of Bai Zhi, although the treatment is extremely generous, the rules are also very strict. If the servants make mistakes, they will be punished the first time and punished the second time.
Therefore, Wei Chen couldn't help but admire this little sister who secretly grilled fish in the yard during the day.
He tiptoed over and quietly walked around the rockery, but he forgot to pay attention to his feet and accidentally stepped on a dead branch.
"Snapped!"
The sound of dead branches breaking immediately alarmed the people inside. They heard an exclamation of "ah", but it was two young female voices.
Wei Chen walked over quickly and saw two familiar little faces with pink and jade shapes.
One of the men had a timid look on his face, his eyes were filled with mist, his mouth was tightly pursed, and he was obviously frightened.
But the other one was heartbroken when he saw the grilled fish falling into the fire. After trying to save him without success, he turned his head and glared at Wei Chen with his big watery eyes.
It was Xiaotao and Minglan.
The party was going on in the front yard and it was very lively, but the two little ones hid in the yard and had a picnic and barbecue by themselves.
Wei Chen sighed and said: "Cousin, you are naughty yourself, but you have also led Xiao Tao to bad things. Do you want me to tell my aunt to lock you in the house and not come out?"
Hearing that Wei Chen was going to file a complaint, Minglan lost most of the momentum she had built up.
She looked back at the two grilled fish that had been burnt black in the fire, and glared at Wei Chen fiercely.
But after dilly-dallying for a while, he made up his mind and took down the only grilled fish left on the shelf, and reluctantly handed it to Wei Chen: "Here, you can eat this, and you are not allowed to complain after eating it." !”
"woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo~"
Seeing that most of the hard work of the morning was gone, and only a pitiful bit was left, which had to be handed over to others, Xiao Tao finally shed tears of sadness.
"It's okay, it's just a fish. Let's grill it again." Minglan hurried up to comfort her.
Wei Chen looked at this scene and suddenly felt that he had committed a heinous crime and was ashamed of himself.
Wei Chen quickly tore off a piece of tender white meat from the fragrant grilled fish and brought it to Xiao Tao's mouth.
Xiao Tao subconsciously opened her mouth and took it, feeling the hot deliciousness in her mouth. While she continued to cry, she couldn't help but say it was delicious.
"It's delicious. If it's delicious, let's not cry."
Ming Lan imitated the behavior of an adult and comforted her softly. She reached out her hand to wipe Xiao Tao's tears. As a result, she smeared several streaks of black on Xiao Tao's face, like a little cat.
Wei Chensheng was afraid of making Xiao Tao cry again, so he pretended not to see it, but Ming Lan, who had done something bad, started to giggle, and turned himself into a little cat with his backhand, and even Xiao Tao started to giggle.
The grilled fish was not big, and Xiaotao and Minglan ate it up in no time.
Seeing Minglan sticking out her little tongue, looking like she still had something to say, Wei Chen felt that he should compensate them somewhat.
"I caused you to grill the fish this time, so I'll treat you to a big meal as an apology. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
Chapter 95 Determination
Ming Lan's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she didn't answer immediately. Instead, she sat on the ground and held her chin in meditation, and whispered to Xiao Tao for a long time.
In the end, Minglan and Xiaotao reached a consensus that they were tired of eating big fish and meat, and now they just wanted to eat barbecue.
They had just tasted the roasted fish, and for their next meal, they wanted to taste the roasted bird, and it had to be caught by Wei Chen himself.
Catch a bird?
Seeing Minglan's successful look, the corners of Wei Chen's mouth twitched feebly a few times, and he felt a headache.
However, a man is a true man and promises a thousand dollars. Since Wei Chen promised Minglan and Xiaotao, he will not regret it and will do it no matter how difficult it is.
Wei Chen called his scholar Yuan An: "Go to your sister Bai Zhi and ask her to find a net for catching birds. Find some rice grains and mix them with sesame oil."
Seeing that Wei Chen was really going to catch the bird, Minglan and Xiaotao became inexplicably excited: "We're here to help too!"
"Okay, come with me to clear the snow."
Wei Chen picked up the big broom on the porch and led the two jumping little girls to the pond in the courtyard.
Beside the pond, a thick layer of snow covered the nearby flowers and plants. Dozens of golden-scaled red carp were raised in the pond. When feeding the fish, a lot of rice grains and rice residue would always fall out.
In this snow-covered land, when there is nowhere to find food, this is undoubtedly a paradise for birds to inhabit.
At this time, more than a dozen small birds of various colors have fallen on the snow in a radius of several feet, and they are looking for food.
Perhaps because they were used to being pampered at home, these little birds were not very afraid of people. It wasn't until Wei Chen and the two little birds got close that they started to flutter and fly.
When Minglan saw the birds flying away, she quickly jumped up and wanted to pounce. As a result, the birds landed on the wall not far away and looked at her with their heads tilted, as if they were laughing at her shortness and weakness.
Minglan grinned in anger, but there was nothing she could do about them, so she turned to look at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, the birds will come down after the arrangements are made."
"Hurry up, hurry up." Minglan pulled Xiao Tao and urged.
Wei Chen smiled, picked up the broom and began to sweep away the snow, sweeping out an open space about ten feet wide.
At this time, Yuan An arrived with a net, followed by a few people, but it was Bai Zhi, Banxia and Xiaodie, surrounding Wei Shuyi who had a big belly.
