After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 161 Don’t miss any opportunity to make Jiang Chen uncomfortable

Master Yuan lived alone in a courtyard, which turned out to be a large house with five courtyards. It was on the main street, not far from the county government office. Such a house was not cheap in the county town, and was worth five thousand taels of silver.

Master Yuan could have lived in the dormitory assigned by the academy, which had a separate courtyard, but it was still not as comfortable as living in a big house.

In addition, since he had students in the future and needed individual instruction, in order to make it convenient for them to stay overnight, Master Yuan decided to live in a large house.

A group of servants appeared out of nowhere and quickly arranged every corner of the house. All Master Yuan had to do was move in.

The concierge received many letters and delivered them to the study every day. He would wait for the gentleman's reply before replying to the letters.

Master Yuan was instructing Shen Huai'en on his homework while flipping through the book given by Shen Nanzhi. The more he read, the more fascinated he became. He thought that the person who could write such a work must be a great scholar, even better than himself, so why was he so unknown?

Shen Huai'en finished writing, "Sir, please read, I've finished writing."

"Well, let it go and reply to these posts."

Master Yuan was really rude when he ordered Shen Huai'en around. But after just a few days, he treated him like his eldest disciple.

If Shen Nanzhi were here, she would definitely be dissatisfied. This is her housekeeper, not the master's. You can't order him around like this for free, right?

Unfortunately, Shen Huai'en was very good at balancing his time. After finishing his family affairs, he came to Master Yuan's place and was able to avoid Shen Nanzhi, so nothing went wrong.

Master Yuan put down the book only after he finished reading an article. He picked up Shen Huai'en's homework and checked it carefully. He occasionally marked it a few times and asked Shen Huai'en to go back and correct it.

Shen Huai'en saw Jiang Chen's invitation and took it out separately. After the teacher finished reviewing it, he handed it to him and said, "This is Jiang Xiucai's visiting card. Do you want to see him?"

Master Yuan felt annoyed when he heard his name. He didn't want to meet such a shameless villain. "No, get out of here, and don't bother me."

Shen Huai'en smiled and said, "If Nan Zhi were here, she would definitely meet him. She would not miss any opportunity to make Jiang Xiucai uncomfortable.

The injustices you have suffered must be paid back double. If you don't argue with him, he still doesn't know where he is wrong and thinks we are in the wrong."

Master Yuan thought so too, why should he suffer such humiliation?

The guy was at most a little regretful, but he acted as if nothing had happened. Wasn't this a loss in this deal?

"Let him come."

Master Yuan suddenly became motivated and asked Shen Huai'en to write a reply to him and set a time to wait for him, so that he would know who he had offended and what he had lost.

Shen Huai'en was a little embarrassed: "Isn't it inappropriate for me to be here? Why not ask the girl to come? She is better at confronting people than me. I can't compare to her."

Master Yuan: "Indeed, you are such a mean kid, you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. Nan Zhi looks smart, but she's actually very simple and clear-headed. She can't beat you."

Shen Huai'en immediately cursed and swore: "No matter how many tricks I have, I will never do anything to the girl. She is not only my savior, but also my master. Everything I do is for the good of the girl."

"Just remember this. Although Nan Zhi is simple, she has her own temper. If you betray me, I will never use you again. Just don't regret it."

"No, definitely not."

Shen Huai'en made a series of assurances, and he knew in his heart that the girl would not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Just look at what happened to Jiang Chen, and you'll know that he doesn't want to be so miserable.

……

When Jiang Chen received Master Yuan's reply, he couldn't help but show joy on his usually calm face. He said that since he was so outstanding, Master Yuan must have a keen eye for talent and be willing to accept him.

Xie Jin looked at the reply and said, "This is really good calligraphy. Did Mr. Yuan write a personal reply? Brother Jiang, I knew you were talented. Mr. Yuan has taken a liking to you. When you become successful in the future, don't forget me."

Jiang Chen said modestly: "Mr. Yuan's calligraphy is naturally excellent. We should learn more. Thank you, brother. Don't worry, I, Jiang Chen, value friendship the most and will never let you down."

Fang Cheng couldn't help laughing while listening to their conversation. "Oh, what a deep brotherly love. It's really touching. I won't let you down and you won't let me down. If you don't know, you would think you have secretly decided to spend your lives together. Haha..."

Some of the other students were jealous of Jiang Chen for getting a reply from Master Yuan, while others couldn't stand Jiang Chen's poor appearance but his arrogance, and didn't like him being both a high-ranking official and a low-ranking official. After hearing what Fang Cheng said, they all burst into laughter, and the two of them blushed with shame and anger.

Jiang Chen's eyes were full of sinisterness. Fang Cheng had been causing trouble for him recently. How had he offended this man?

They have always kept to themselves. Fang Cheng represents the faction of young masters with good family background and connections in the court, while he represents the faction of poor families and merchants with a low status. His starting point is not as high as others.

"Mr. Fang, what did I do wrong? Just tell me and I'll change it. Why are you being so sarcastic? You're losing the demeanor of a scholar!"

Fang Cheng: "Oh, Mr. Jiang is so generous. I think it's wrong for you to live. You might as well die."

Jiang Chen: “…”

Isn't this obviously bullying?

Fortunately, the teacher came in. Today was the principal's class, so everyone sat upright and did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

The headmaster's surname is Meng, and his name is Meng Qishan. He has been in a bad mood recently. Old man Yuan actually came out of seclusion and went to the rival Bailu Academy. Isn't this clearly going against him?

If his students are better than his own students and train a few juren, will Qingfeng Academy still have a future?

Fortunately, old man Yuan had poor vision. He accepted Zhang Zhi, who was extremely poor, and Song Bojian, who had not even received a good education. If such a person could pass the imperial examination, he would take off his head and kick it like a ball.

Meng Qishan put aside all his complicated thoughts and taught his students. In the past, he would not have taught the classes in person, but now that old man Yuan had come out of retirement, it put a lot of pressure on him and increased the time he spent teaching in person.

The headmaster's lectures were naturally different. This was Class A, and everyone was listening carefully. Fang Cheng did not dare to slack off and took notes meticulously.

Although Fang Cheng seems to be casual and unrestrained, he loves to be lively and is warm-hearted. He is very serious about his studies and is not a playboy.

Halfway through the class, Meng Qishan was tired, so he asked the students to write a passage themselves and he would check it later.

Walk past the students one by one, read their articles, and get a rough idea of ​​their level.

Fang Cheng finished writing and was about to check it when he turned around and saw the reply on the corner of Jiang Chen's desk. A plan came to his mind, and when the dean passed by, he suddenly tilted his body and bumped into Jiang Chen, causing the reply to fall to the ground.

"Sorry, I didn't sit still. It's my fault. Don't be angry with me, Brother Jiang. I'll help you clean up."

He apologized first so that Jiang Chen wouldn't glare at him, otherwise it would give the Master the impression that he was being unreasonable.

"No, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Chen refused. Meng Qishan also saw such a big commotion and his eyes fell on the reply. They were old rivals and it was obvious that it was a reply from old man Yuan.

He picked it up and opened it to take a look, anger welling up in his eyes. The students of his academy were actually traitors and wanted to go to old man Yuan?
