Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 292 Solution

Yuan Shan was so scared that she was about to cry. She knew how important Wu Tixue was to her brother, and the whole family wanted to worship him.

If her grandmother knew that she took someone else's gold bracelet and caused her brother to have to trouble Wu Tixue, she would probably beat her to death!

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Suddenly, her grandmother asked outside: "Qingwa, Shanwa, what are you two doing in the study?

Shanwa, how many times have I told you not to go into your brother's study room without permission? If you break something, I will beat you to death!"

Yuan Shan's face turned even paler, and Yuan Qing couldn't bear to see it, so he raised his voice and replied, "I knocked over the bamboo tube for washing brushes, and Xiao Shan is helping me clean it up."

"Then you two hurry up, the meal will be ready soon, clean up and come out to eat."

Yuan Shan exhaled lightly, and then thought of the gold bracelet. She asked anxiously, "Brother, if we return the bracelet, do we no longer have to help the Chen family?"

"I'll go find Master Chen tomorrow and give it a try." After saying that, Yuan Qing looked at her steadily, "Remember, don't take other people's things casually in the future. There is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. If you want to take advantage of others, you must think about whether you can afford the price."

Yuan Shan nodded vigorously: "I remember. Brother, you must not tell grandma about this, she will beat me to death."

Yuan Qing nodded helplessly: "This won't happen again."

At noon the next day, Yuan Qing arrived at Chen's house. When the doormen saw him, one of them came up to him with a smile and said, "Mr. Yuan, please come in."

The other one turned around and ran into the mansion, probably to inform Chen Yunze.

Yuan Qing's face darkened slightly, "Do you know me?"

The doorman nodded and said, "The Second Young Master has instructed that you are a distinguished guest and cannot be neglected. Please take a seat inside first and we will go and invite the Second Young Master."

"I'm honored to be your honorable guest." After saying this politely, Yuan Qing followed the doorman into the Chen family's home.

After walking around the screen wall and through a corridor, the Xu family's housekeeper came to greet him, "Mr. Yuan, we are a rare guest. Please come in and take a seat."

Then, Yuan Qing, accompanied by the housekeeper, went to the flower hall to wait.

The butler was extremely enthusiastic. He talked to him cheerfully while ordering the servants to serve tea.

Yuan Qing took a sip of the teacup politely and put it down.

The butler was afraid of neglecting him, so he said again: "Mr. Yuan, please wait a moment. Our second young master will be here soon."

"Not urgent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yunze's voice rang out outside, "Brother Yuan, you're finally here!"

"Master Chen, you are joking. I am only twelve years old. I cannot deserve to be called your brother."

Chen Yunze didn't mind at all and smiled heartily: "It's my fault, brother. Please forgive me."

Yuan Qing pursed his lips even tighter, and took out the gold bracelet. "Mr. Chen, I came here today to return the bracelet. I was ignorant that day and didn't know how valuable the gold bracelet was. Today, I came here to return the bracelet."

"My dear brother, you are being estranged. Your little sister is my little sister. As a big brother, how can I take back the New Year gift I gave to my little sister?"

Seeing that Chen Yunze was playing dumb, Yuan Qing had no choice but to speak out: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry that I can't help your family. Please take back the gold bracelet."

The smile on Chen Yunze's face disappeared. "Brother Yuan, this is just a matter of a few words to you."

Yuan Qing said coldly: "After a few words, the relationship between Yuan and the teacher has come to an end."

Chen Yunze said awkwardly, "My dear brother, I just like to joke around. It's not that serious."

Yuan Qing looked at him without saying anything. He was just a scholar from a poor family and had not yet passed the imperial examination. Wu Tixue was willing to be his teacher simply because of his talent.

He is of no help to Wu Tixue now, so how can he have the nerve to ask Wu Tixue to use his connections?

If he really went to help the Shen family plead for them today, even if the teacher-student relationship had not ended, Wu Tixue would definitely not treat him as kindly as he does now.

Chen Yunze was looked at by him, and finally stopped pretending to be deaf and dumb, and said meaningfully: "Mr. Yuan, this bracelet is for your sister. If she doesn't want it, let her come to the Chen family to return it in person! Speaking of which, although your sister is a farm girl, she is simple and lovely."

He emphasized the word "your sister" especially, fearing that Yuan Qing might not understand the hidden meaning of his words.

Yuan Qing was such a smart person, how could she not understand the threat behind his words? If she didn't help, the bracelet would be given to his sister.

If a foreign man gave his sister such a valuable gold bracelet, and the news got out, his sister's reputation would be ruined.

Yuan Qing's face turned cold and he clenched his fists.

Facing his cold gaze, Chen Yunze was not afraid at all. With a smile on his lips, he looked at him leisurely.

Time passed by, and after a while, Yuan Qing finally loosened his fist and said coldly: "Bring me a pen and ink."

Chen Yunze was slightly stunned, not understanding why he needed pen and ink, but still looked at the butler who was serving on the side.

After receiving his signal, the housekeeper turned around and went out. Soon he brought back the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and even kindly helped to grind the ink.

Yuan Qing picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper. After a while, he wrote a paragraph:

In the past, King Hui was a vassal of a small country, but he was able to move people from Henei to get grain from Hedong. Now the emperor is the common ruler of the world, how can he bear to shut down the grain in Qingshui to take advantage of the famine in Dongling? Are you taking advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away and wanting to split the land and make a marquis?

Chen Yun was stunned. He thought Yuan Qing asked for pen and ink because he was planning to write a letter to Wu Tixue, but he didn't expect him to write such words.

Chen Yunze had also attended a private school and studied abroad, so he understood the meaning of this passage immediately.

This allusion comes from "Mencius". King Hui of Liang asked Mencius for advice on state governance and expressed that he had done his best to govern the country. When there was a famine in Henei, he moved the people of Henei to Hedong for food.

These words are written to Chen, the magistrate of Qingshui County. In the past, the princes of small countries could do so, but today the world is unified and all the land under heaven belongs to the king. The grain of Qingshui County cannot be used to help the people of Dongling County. Do you have the intention of dividing the land and making a prince?

Chen Yunze believed that as long as this hat was put on, no matter who County Magistrate Chen was, he could no longer use the previous excuses and had to lend grain to Dongling County first.

He couldn't help but clapping his hands and exclaiming: "Good! Good! Good!"

Looking away from the paper, Chen Yunze looked at Yuan Qing with a different look: "Mr. Yuan, you are truly a genius!"

After he finished speaking, Chen Yunze felt a little regretful. If he had known that Yuan Qing was such a talented person, he should not have threatened him with his sister's innocence.

There are many talented scholars, but few who are talented and good at applying their talents to practical matters. What's more, how old is Yuan Qing? Only twelve years old!

He is so capable at such a young age. Once he graduates from high school, he will be like a dragon returning to the sea. He will definitely not be a mediocre person!

If we offend him today, I'm afraid Yuan Qing will not let the Chen family go when he becomes successful in the future.
