Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 228 The Little Scholar Killed by His Classmates (2)

At this time, the clan leader and Lord Yang were sitting upright in the armchairs at the top.

Several elders of the clan sat on official hat chairs on both sides.

The other tribesmen were standing casually outside in the open air patio.

There were also a dozen children ranging from two to three years old to over ten years old standing in the center.

Among them, there are several orphans without parents, and they all live with their uncles and brothers.

There are also a few whose fathers are gone, but whose mothers did not remarry and raised them and their brothers to endure the hardship.

It seems that the clan leader and his men really put a lot of thought into selecting people. If these people are really chosen by Yang Xingzhi, it would be a good place for them to go.

When the patriarch saw Shuangshuang coming in, he waved to him lovingly.

"Yu Shuang, come to Grandpa."

Not to mention that the clan leader has always valued Shuangshuang, and after today's sudden incident, he likes him even more.

When Yang Ruqing saw Shuangshuang come in, he stared at him with wide eyes.

Then he turned his head in disbelief and glanced at Yang Zhong, the housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, who was standing silently beside him.

Yang Zhong was also staring at Shuangshuang's face in surprise at this time, and he was even so excited that his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.

I wanted to rush forward, pull Shuangshuang over, and take another closer look at her.

Shuangshuang certainly knew why they were doing that, but she remained calm on the surface and pretended to be surprised at their performance.

He bowed to everyone around him before calmly approaching the patriarch.

This means that he has not passed the Tongsheng exam yet. If he passes the Tongsheng exam.

Then you won’t have to stand, but will be qualified to sit with these old men.

Clan leader Le introduced Yang Ruqing with pride.

“This is what I told you before, the eldest son of the Ruyong family.

Their teacher said that this time we can take the test, but this child works hard, so he will definitely have no problem passing the county test!"

"Chief, how can you boast like this?"

Shuangshuang said angrily, looking embarrassed by the compliment.

"Hey! My own child is excellent, and I'm not allowed to praise him?"

"That's it!"

The other elders naturally followed the patriarch and echoed his words.

At this time, Yang Ruqing suddenly asked.

"How old are you?"

Shuangshuang's mind moved, this was suspicious, it was a cliché.

She looked at him with a puzzled look on purpose, but still answered him.

"Your Excellency, I am 12 years old this year."

Yang Ruqing was silent for a moment, then immediately continued asking.

"When is your birthday?"

Shuangshuang looked at him angrily. You know, in ancient times, telling the date of birth was a big taboo.

Therefore, even if Shuangshuang was pretending, she had to pretend to be angry.

Seeing that Yang Ruqing ignored his cold face and was still staring at him without changing his expression, he curled his lips and replied.

"Sorry, no comment!"

The clan leader thought that Yang Ruqing wanted to adopt Shuangshuang, so he quickly interrupted him.

"That Ruqing, the Ruyong family only has him as their only child, so they definitely won't adopt him."

Yang Ruqing ignored the clan leader and continued to ask.

"Then... could you please tell me your mother's name?"

Suddenly, it seemed like they couldn't suppress their anger!

He gritted his teeth and replied, "No!"

Now even the clan leader and elders were unhappy.

As an official, doesn't he know that he shouldn't ask a woman's name casually?

Yang Ruqing finally realized that she had been really rude.

He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, nephew Yu Shuang. I just felt that you looked kind and wanted to ask if you were an old acquaintance."

"Of course not! How could I, a peasant from a humble background, have anything to do with a high-ranking official like you?"

Shuangshuang didn't give him the chance to ask again, so as to avoid having to explain to Zheng Sangning when he returned.

He bowed again to the clan leader and the elders.

"Chief, elders.

My mother said that our family will not participate in the decision-making. No matter what decision you make, we have no objection.

It’s too late now. I have to go to the county town tomorrow.

There are still some things at home that are not ready, so I'll take my leave first.

I hope the elders will forgive me.”

The clan leader and several elders could see that Yang Ruqing was very interested in Shuangshuang.

But this is not what they want to see.

After all, Yang Ruyong only has one son. It is impossible for them to do something like cutting off another lineage in order to give Yang Ruqing an offspring.

So the patriarch stroked his beard and nodded.

"Okay, since your mother has expressed her opinion, it counts!

Then you should go back first. Nothing is more important than your county exam right now."

Zheng Sangning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his son had kept his promise and returned soon.

Wenrou straightened his hair and said, "Shuang'er, go to bed early. We have to go to the county town tomorrow."

"Okay mother!"

Shuangshuang responded happily, but did not get up and leave.

After thinking about it, I decided to tell her what happened just now.

Otherwise, she would know nothing and suffer a loss when she meets Yang Ruqing one day.

"Mom, I just went to the ancestral hall, and that Mr. Yang was acting very strangely.

First he asked me how old I was, and then he asked when my birthday was.

I didn't tell him, but he still shamelessly asked for your name.

I refused him with a righteous attitude, so he didn't ask again.

Mom, you say... is there someone I look like?"

"Your appearance..."

Zheng Sangning's eyes flickered for a moment, then he held Shuangshuang's face and looked at it carefully before speaking.

"He probably looks a lot like your uncle."

"Since he is my uncle, why did he say that I look familiar to his old friend?

Could it be that he also knows my uncle?"

"He really said that?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Zheng Sangning did not answer again, but sat there quietly, slowly falling into his own thoughts.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Shuang'er, those things have nothing to do with you. You don't need to care about them anymore!"

Shuangshuang naturally didn't ask any more questions. It was just a reminder anyway.

"In that case, you should go and rest first, I'll go to the backyard to wash up."

I had just finished taking a shower and was changing clothes when I heard a sound coming from the hall.

Although he lowered his voice, he could still hear it clearly with his current hearing ability.

He gently took a pajamas and put it on, then stopped moving and summoned Little Orange.

"Little Orange, share your perspective with me."

Then he held his breath and watched what was happening outside.

At this time, in the flower hall, Yang Ruqing was bringing the Yang Zhong from the ancestral hall.

Shi Shiran sat on the official hat chair in the flower hall, staring at Zheng Sangning.

Zheng Sangning raised his eyebrows, but he didn't have the confidence to scold.

"You, you, you...what are you doing here?!"

Yang Ruqing, on the other hand, looked calm and composed, speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"What do you think I'm doing here? Or what are you feeling guilty about?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I, I, I... I don't feel guilty at all!"

Zheng Sangning growled through gritted teeth.

Yang Ruqing's expression changed instantly. She was no longer as calm as before and looked at Zheng Sangning with gritted teeth.
