Chapter 348： Old man Yang begs to come to your door

Chapter 348 Old Man Yang asks for a visit

Li Shi shook her head, she didn't want to talk about things that hadn't been written yet.

As soon as the three of them arrived in Mapo, Yang Laigui was shocked and asked, "Grandma and grandma, why is this place so prosperous?"

Opposite the pier is a wide bluestone street about three feet long, with two-story shops on both sides, as well as a two-story observation deck along the river, teahouses, theaters, Lefang, and bookstores that dazzle the eyes.

Mrs. Li glanced at her grandson sadly, "This is the territory of Mapo Academy. The academy has been expanded and it's hard to find one. How can it not be lively?"

Yang Laigui continued to follow the old couple in confusion, but was stopped at the gate of the academy.

Old man Yang hurriedly said: "We want to bring the child over to show Mr. Ming."

The concierge was very helpless and pointed to the back of Old Yang, "Old man, take a look, they are sending their children here to study just like you. Just wait!"

The three of them turned around suddenly, just in time to meet the eager eyes of the people above and below, and were immediately frightened.

“Old man, how many people are there here?” Ms. Li panicked.

Yang Laigui counted them carefully and said, "Including adults, there are almost sixty-five people."

"So many! Do we still have a chance?" Li was very worried.

Old man Yang was so worried that the few hairs remaining on his forehead were almost gone.

At this moment, Lao He came over with several rolls of rice paper. When he passed by Old Yang and the other three, he didn't pay much attention. He just said to the concierge: "The paper Mr. Ming asked for has been delivered."

“Excuse me, Shopkeeper He. Sir, I am meeting guests in the study. Can Shopkeeper He come in and sit down?”

"No, no! I still have something to do at Qingfengzhai. I'll come see Mr. Ming for tea another day when I have free time." Lao He declined politely.

He and Mr. Ming are tea lovers. They often go to the teahouse to listen to the piano and drink tea, and the two of them have developed some friendship over time.

Old man Yang was in a hurry. When he heard the words Qingfengzhai, he immediately became excited. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Shopkeeper, the Qingfengzhai you mentioned specializes in selling rice paper? Is the owner's surname Yang?"

"Exactly." The concierge answered for Lao He first, "All students at Mapo College use Qingfengzhai paper, which is famous far and wide."

He thought that Old Man Yang was trying to establish friendship with Old He, and was subconsciously disgusted.

Old man Yang immediately had an expression of joy on his face.

The concierge responded as expected, and was very wary of Old Man Yang.

Old man Yang was so excited that he didn't even notice. He only talked enthusiastically to Lao He, "Yang Santie is my grandson, my grandson! He belongs to his own family!"

Lao He was shocked.

The concierge laughed angrily, "Old man! Even if you want to enter the academy, you don't have to make such an outrageous excuse! The surname of the owner of Qingfengzhai is Yang, and that Yang is not an ordinary Yang, he belongs to the Yang family of Guang'en Marquis!"

The concierge thought that Old Man Yang would be scared, but Old Man Yang nodded solemnly, "That's right! Guang Enhou is my eldest daughter-in-law, that's right!"

“You really dare to admit it!” The concierge didn’t know what to say. He took a closer look at Old Man Yang’s dress. It was ordinary, very ordinary! The kind that you can't find even if you blend in with the crowd.

All the people waiting below started laughing.

Some people advised Old Man Yang to leave quickly to avoid being held accountable by the people of Guangen Marquis.

Old man Yang was confused and didn't understand why these people didn't believe what he said.

Lao He was cautious and did not question Old Man Yang's identity with the concierge, but he did not believe him easily. He only looked at the concierge and asked: "Mr. Ming, this guest is the county magistrate, Mr. Xie?" He just saw the county magistrate. Ling's carriage passed by outside the shop, but he didn't know whether he was gone or not.

The concierge nodded.

Lao He breathed a sigh of relief and looked very respectfully at Old Man Yang, "Old man, can Mr. Xie confirm your identity?"

“Can, can, can,” Old Man Yang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

His reaction made the people who laughed at him stop laughing, and they were all shocked and confused.

The concierge couldn't help but beat his drum at the moment. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and went in to report.

After a while, Xie Yucheng and Dong Ze came out together.

The people watching quickly saluted.

Old man Yang breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a very urgent tone, "Mr. Xie, you came just in time. Hurry up and bear witness for me. They suspect that I am telling lies."

Dong Ze hurriedly stepped forward, "Why are you here, the old lady, celebrating the New Year? Oh! Even the old lady is here! Come in quickly."

Lao He immediately greeted Old Man Yang respectfully.

The concierge had already knelt down and tremblingly admitted his mistake.

Old man Yang felt proud and proud, and waved his hand magnanimously, "It's okay, it's okay. The old man doesn't go out very often, so it's normal that no one will recognize him."

Xie Yucheng smiled helplessly, led the way for Old Yang and the others, and asked, "Why did the old man come to Mapo Academy all of a sudden?"

"Hey! It's not for my little grandson." Old Yang looked sad, but he didn't hesitate at all to Xie Yucheng and said everything.

Xie Yucheng stroked his beard for a moment and said: "I just want this child to stay in Mapo Academy and it's not difficult. I just need to tell Mr. Ming."

“This is not good!” Old Man Yang was frightened.

Xie Yucheng comforted him, "To be honest, I will probably leave Ping'an County after the Chinese New Year. I'm going to say goodbye. I'm afraid we won't have the chance to see each other again. In the past few years that I've been working in Ping'an County, Rongshu Village has replaced me. I have solved many problems and helped me a lot. What the old man did today is just a piece of cake for me and is not worth mentioning. "

Old man Yang has been honest all his life, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. Xie Yucheng said it in a few moments and led Yang Laigui through a formality in front of Mr. Ming. The matter of Yang Laigui's study was settled.

Mr. Ming took the opportunity to test Yang Laigui's schoolwork. Before Yang Laigui left, he said to him: "This child is smart, but the smart point is not in the Four Books and Five Classics. I think he is more interested in magic and specializes in what he likes. In the future, Maybe there will be some success.”

The man next to Mr. Yang didn't hear anything. He only heard the last few words. He thanked him profusely and wanted to kneel down to Mr. Ming. "Sir, the old man knows your talent. I can rest assured that I will leave this child to you." You can teach whatever you want, as long as the child can support himself in the future.”

He was frightened by the Zhou family. As long as Yang Laigui would not be turned into a nerd by the Zhou family, he had no hope of anything else.

Mr. Ming laughed out loud at Old Man Yang's words, and he immediately responded.

Li was afraid that Yang Laigui would be influenced by the Zhou family and change his temperament after returning, so he immediately left Yang Laigui in the academy.

Yang Laigui realized at this moment that the big baggage brought out by grandpa and grandma was mainly his luggage.

The old couple personally sent Yang Laigui to his residence and cleaned up the house for him, wiping away tears and saying, "Lai Gui, don't blame grandpa and grandma for being cruel. If you stay at home, you don't know what your grandma will come up with." Mozi, now you stay in the academy and study in a down-to-earth manner.

If you have anything to do, go to Qingfengzhai to find the shopkeeper He. I just met you. My grandpa and grandma will come to see you often in the future. If you can't avoid seeing me, don't see me! "

Ms. Li curled her lips sadly, turned around and left.
