Chapter 415 Young Nephew
Chapter 415 Young Nephew
Wang Shuyan stared at the young faces of his nephews, feeling a little worried.
Oh! These nephews are really frustrating!
"The situation in the court is complicated. You are men of the Wang family. You must be careful with your words and actions. Don't get too close to people of unknown origin..."
This indoctrination seems too late, these innocent eyes,
"Wen Dong," he said earnestly, "when interacting with people, you should not only look at their talents, but also their character. Chen Sanlang's background is unknown, so you must be careful when interacting with him in the future."
Wang Wendong was a little puzzled: "Why is Uncle San so defensive? Chen Sanlang is indeed talented, but..."
"what have you found?"
"It seems that he does have some problems."
"How to say?"
"Thinking carefully, he seems to be trying to find out about our family affairs."
Wang Shuyan asked anxiously, "What did you ask? Why don't you tell me?"
Wang Wendong secretly raised his eyes to glance at his uncle and stammered:
"He seems to be interested in finding out about the ladies in the family..."
"Huh?" "What?" "Really?"
The other nephews all looked up in disbelief, as if Wang Wendong had done something wrong.
"Who did he ask about?" "Tell me what he said."
While the Wang family was assessing Chen Sanlang's intentions as if they were facing a formidable enemy, he himself was very happy.
At Xunyang Academy, he easily got to know two young men from the Wang family who were in the same class, and through them he got to know two other young masters of the Wang family. He also deliberately approached Wang Shuyan, the top scorer in the Xunyang examination area. As for the fact that Wang Shuyan himself suspected him, Chen Sanlang was still unaware of it.
However, after the ten-day holiday, when he returned to the academy, he discovered something strange.
He was ostracized by everyone in the Wang family. Even when he saw Sun Wei driving the coach in the morning, he greeted him familiarly, but Sun Wei pretended not to hear him and turned away without looking at him.
Chen Sanlang didn't take it seriously and went to the cafeteria of Xunyang Academy at noon.
The students on government stipend took their seats one by one to eat. Chen Sanlang glanced at Wang Wendong deliberately. Several classmates were whispering and also looking for seats.
Wang Wendong, who would greet him warmly in the past, now seemed to be avoiding him on purpose, letting another classmate sit next to him and avoiding his sight in panic.
Chen Sanlang's heart moved slightly, and he pretended to pass by casually, only hearing the words "pretending" floating into his ears with the wind.
He didn't take it to heart, thinking he had misheard, and without stopping, he found an empty seat and sat down to eat.
After dinner, everyone would usually go out together, but this time, Wang Wendong and a few classmates walked past Chen Sanlang chatting and laughing, completely ignoring him.
Chen Sanlang retracted his expression, put down his hand that he had used to greet him, and left silently. A strange feeling came over him, and the sense of small group that he had when he was a student in his previous life came back. He smiled faintly, snorted, and shook his head indifferently.
But after lunch, Chen Sanlang found that the attitude of everyone in the Wang family towards him had changed. No matter they were classmates, they refused to communicate with each other, or pretended not to see him when he saw him. Even if he took the initiative to go up and talk to Wang Wendong, he would walk around him and walk away.
Chen Sanlang thought it would get better after some time.
The backyard of the academy.
During the morning reading before class, Chen Sanlang opened the "Collected Works of Mr. Changli", blew his hot air in the cold wind to warm his frozen hands, and moved towards the sunlight out of habit, and happened to bump into Wang Wendong passing by him.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Sanlang greeted excitedly, "Good morning, it's so cold, haha..."
Before he could even finish his greeting, Wang Wendong shouted into the empty corridor like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:
“Wait! I’m here!”
Just ran away.
Chen Sanlang was a little puzzled and thought about it for a long time. After observing silently, he did not find the reason. But as time went on, even Huo Ying discovered that something was wrong.
Another ten-day holiday arrived. In the evening, classes at Xunyang Academy were over. Chen Sanlang walked out of the academy gate alone, carrying his study and manuscripts.
Seeing Brother Sun Wei standing next to the Wang family's carriage through the crowd, he wanted to say hello and also wanted to know why the Wang family's attitude towards him had changed so much.
Huo Ying, who had just rushed to the gate to pick someone up, saw Chen Sanlang running towards the Wang family's carriage again, and he also ran a few steps after him.
Sun Wei was looking for his young master in the crowd when he suddenly saw Chen Sanlang coming. He was stunned for a moment, then turned around to take care of the carriage, secretly glancing at Chen Sanlang out of the corner of his eye.
This strange behavior made Chen Sanlang stop. Huo Ying patted Chen Sanlang from behind and shouted excitedly,
"Brother Sun, are you busy lately? Let's have a drink some time. I..."
Before Huo Ying could finish his words, Sun Wei did not respond at first, then strode away, leaving the two of them behind.
Huo Ying scratched his head with his only hand, turned around and asked Chen Sanlang, "Did I just say anything excessive? What is he doing...?"
Chen Sanlang felt that this strange thing seemed to be directed at him and had nothing to do with Huo Ying. Huo Ying didn't understand, "I'll go ask him what's wrong. I'll be suffocated to death if this goes on..."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around to look for Sun Wei, and when he caught up with him, he asked loudly:
"Brother, do you remember who said 'Only when you are at the edge of death can you survive' on the battlefield? And you also said that we are brothers who have shared life and death together. What are you doing? You are talking when your brother does something wrong.
Now this is…”
Sun Wei lowered his head and frowned without saying a word, occasionally stealing a glance at Chen Sanlang. Chen Sanlang had the answer in his heart, it was really because of him.
Chen Sanlang sneered, turned around and left silently. Huo Ying looked at Sun Wei and then at Chen Sanlang. Not knowing what had happened, he said to Sun Wei inexplicably,
"Brother, I'm going to go back first. I'll go back and tell him to apologize to you."
Although Huo Ying didn't know what happened, he could sense that something unpleasant had occurred between his two best friends. With his loyal character, he decided to take the responsibility and deal with the two of them.
He shouted as he chased after Chen Sanlang who was leaving.
"Sanlang! Wait for me..."
Huo Ying ran up breathlessly and slapped Chen Sanlang hard.
"How did you offend Brother Sun Wei? Tell me quickly."
Chen Sanlang staggered and stood still after being hit. He turned his head to look at Huo Ying with a puzzled look on his face.
"Brother, I don't know either. Please ask for me!"
Huo Ying took a few quick steps to catch up, and the two walked side by side towards their residence.
It was dark, and the night watchman's clapper sound startled the night owls under the eaves.
Chen Sanlang gently swept the wood shavings on the ground and silently tidied up the yard under the moonlight.
Huo Ying left the room at some point, yawning.
"Brother, you don't have to do these jobs. We can all do them. You just need to study hard. Come on, come on, let's talk."
Chen Sanlang clapped his hands and casually walked over to sit next to Huo Ying.
"Brother, I have a favor to ask of you..."
"Please tell me what you want to do, brother. Just tell me what's going on!"
"Brother, I don't know how I offended the Wang family. Please ask Brother Sun Wei for me..."
