Seeing everyone leave, Apothecary Chen Xiao continued to instruct, “I see that Elder Zhang acts with restraint; when necessary, we must help conceal him.”@@@@
“Of course!”
Elder Chen Yun nodded repeatedly.
Who wouldn’t want to snatch such a talent? Secretly winning them over and making a fortune in silence is the real deal.
“Patriarch...”
Just as he was internally admiring the patriarch’s profound strategy, an urgent voice rang out, and soon he saw the Chen Clan’s Steward Yu Boping riding in, with a student-looking youth following on another horse.
“What’s the matter?” Chen Xiao frowned.
“Reporting to the patriarch, this is Zhou Qingkai, a schoolmate of the young master, saying he has urgent matters to discuss with you...” Steward Yu promptly replied.
“Hao’er’s schoolmate?”
Chen Xiao looked over and saw Zhou Qingkai tumbling off his horse, and before even approaching, he bowed with his arms wrapped around his fists, tears streaming down his face, “Patriarch Chen, you must uphold justice for Young Master Chen; he has been bullied at the academy...”
“Hao’er was bullied?”
Chen Xiao’s eyebrows furrowed, “Who is it? Daring to provoke the Chen Clan, they have quite the audacity!”
“It was a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher who just joined the academy, someone without any cultivation, who cozied up to School Head Lu to get in... this morning, by some unknown trick, not only did he make the young master lose face in public, he even forced him to kneel, an utter disregard for the rules, arrogant to the extreme!”
With a voice full of misery, Zhou Qingkai cried as if it couldn’t be more pitiful.
Chen Xiao looked shocked, “Forced Hao’er to kneel? What right does a Miscellaneous Duties Teacher have to do that? And why would he do it?”
Elder Chen Yun also gave a cold harrumph, with discontent written all over his face.
“Hmm!”
Chen Xiao nodded, looking over, “By the way, is the token for the honorary elder ready?”
Elder Chen Yun took out a token from his pocket and handed it over with both hands, “This one was just delivered by Steward Yu...”
After closely inspecting it, Chen Xiao’s face broke into a smile, “Good, Elder Zhang Xuan hasn’t left yet, has he? Come, let’s go together, give him this token in person, and also signify our Chen residence’s respect for him!”
“Good!” Elder Chen Yun nodded again and again.
...
At Baiyan Horse Farm, in front of Jiazi Square’s counter.
The attendant who just greeted Zhang Xuan stretched lazily, sitting idly at the desk, looking utterly bored.
“Zhao Yue, wasn’t there a customer wanting to buy a thousand-li horse’s fine feed for a month? Why aren’t you preparing it, still resting here?”
The second attendant came over, full of curiosity.
Zhao Yue let out a cold huff, “Just a show-off. If I really rushed to get it ready, then I’d be the fool.”
The second attendant was curious, “What do you mean? You think he can’t afford it? The guy looked quite sophisticated, like a wealthy young master!”
Zhao Yue nodded, “Young master? Sun Hong, sister, you’re overthinking it! He comes over to buy fine feed yet doesn’t know the price; he can be said to be ignorant and lazy. After I told him the price, he simply said he wanted to buy enough for one meal to taste... What kind of wealthy young master would say such a thing?”
“This...”
Sun Hong paused.
