This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 225: Cheap Things (Thanks to the book friend "No Matter What" for the reward)

The two sides exchanged greetings.

Jia Tanchun was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice, "What is the matter with you coming here today?"

Bai Qingtong smiled and said, "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

Jia Tanchun smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, it's just... I feel like you guys might be in trouble."

Bai Qingtong pulled her and said, "Let's go, let's go play with Daiyu and Xichun."

Jia Tanchun glanced at her side and asked, "Where is Mr. Luo?"

Luo Zijun said, "Miss Tanchun, don't worry about me. I have nothing else to do today. I just came here to take a look."

Jia Tanchun's eyes moved, and she didn't ask any more questions. She said, "Then I'll let Cui Mo accompany Master Luo. If Master Luo has any problems, just tell Cui Mo."

Luo Zijun said: "Thank you."

Jia Tanchun nodded, took Bai Qingtong's hand, and left surrounded by a group of servants.

Behind Luo Zijun, there was only Cui Mo following.

Luo Zijun walked into the courtyard, wandered around for a while, and suddenly asked, "Miss Cui Mo, do you know where Butler Lai is?"

Cui Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Master Luo, wait a moment, I will go find someone to ask."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

After a long while, she hurried back and said, "Butler Lai is in the back directing the servants to clean the pond."

"Oh? Go and see."

Luo Zijun's face was calm and he went straight to the back.

Cui Mo led the way, passed through the long corridor, and came to a garden at the back.

In the northwest corner of the garden, there is a pond.

A short and thin middle-aged man in a brocade robe was standing by the pond, directing his servants to clean up the dead leaves and some floating objects in the pond.

Luo Zijun glanced over there and said to Cui Mo, "You wait here, I will go there by myself."

Cui Mo lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Luo Zijun walked through the path between the flower beds and headed towards the pond.

Before he came close, Lai Da turned around and looked at him. When he saw it was him, he was stunned at first, then a warm smile appeared on his face. He quickly bowed and said, "Isn't this Mr. Luo? How come you have time today to come to my house? Are you looking for the second young master or the eldest master? I'll send someone to notify him now."

Luo Zijun walked up to him with a calm expression on his face: "I'm not looking for them, I just have nothing to do at home, so I came here to hang out. Isn't housekeeper Lai welcome?"

Lai Dalian hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, what are you talking about? Welcome, of course you are welcome."

Luo Zijun walked up to him, looked at the pond in front, and asked, "Why are you cleaning the pond in the middle of winter?"

Lai Da also turned around and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, smiling the whole time: "It's too dirty inside. If we don't clean it up, it will rot and stink everywhere, polluting the garden."

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "What Butler Lai said is right. We can't let a stinky pond ruin the whole garden. The stench can't be mixed with the fragrance of the flowers, otherwise the whole garden will stink."

Lai Da laughed and suddenly shouted at a servant in the pond: "Li Shi, how can you clean the water while standing on the boat? Jump down and clean it up! You really think you are a poet with such an elegant name!"

When the servant standing on the boat heard this, he immediately endured the cold and went into the water.

Lai Da smiled and said to the person beside him, "Mr. Luo, you don't know that this kid was born a peasant, a lowly thing, but he still thinks about studying and climbing up the social ladder all day. His life is lower than the mud, but his heart is higher than the sky. Don't climb too high and fall to death. I have to beat him often to prevent him from daydreaming all day long."

Luo Zijun also had a faint smile on his face, and said: "Butler Lai is saying that servants are servants and should act like servants. Being too ostentatious is not a good thing."

Lai Da had a smile on his face, looked into the pond, and said nothing more.

Luo Zijun didn't say anything else.

After a long time.

When the servant who had entered the water could not stand the coldness of the water and climbed back onto the boat with black lips, Lai Da suddenly laughed and said, "See, I told you that a waste is a waste. At first it seems that he can still do something, but when he really starts to do it, he finds that he can't do it anymore."

Luo Zijun didn't say anything else.

Lai Da retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, if you have something to say, you can just say it directly, so as not to be uncomfortable holding it in."

Luo Zijun also looked at him and said calmly: "Nothing to say, I just wanted to come and see Butler Lai."

Lai Da smiled and nodded, looking back at the pond in front of him. After a moment, he slowly said, "Mr. Luo is so young, and he has achieved so much. It is really a cause for celebration. I believe Mr. Luo's family must be very proud of him. However, Lai still wants to advise Mr. Luo that some things are over and done with. There is no need to keep them in mind, let alone keep brooding over them. We should look forward and look far ahead. With Mr. Luo's ability, he will have a bright future. Why should we dwell on the past?"

He turned around, looked at him and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Luo?"

Luo Zijun nodded and said, "Butler Lai is right. However, some things are not a matter of being entangled or not. It is really impossible to forget and let go. I can't do anything about it."

Lai Da had a smile on his face. He looked at him for a while and nodded, "Since you can't let it go, it's good to keep it in mind."

Then he smiled and said, "Last night was just a small warning. Next time, it might be a dead body."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, I'm going to be busy over there, you can go shopping by yourself. If you need anything, just come find me."

Having said that, he left.

Luo Zijun looked at his back without saying anything else. He stood by the pond for a while before turning around and leaving.

Cui Mo saw him coming and asked, "Mr. Luo, are you going to the back to look for the young ladies? Yuanyang came just now and said that the old lady invited you to sit in the back and talk. Miss Daiyu, Miss Xiangyun, and Miss Baochai are all here."

Luo Zijun paused and declined politely, "No, you go and thank the old lady for me. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Cui Mo was stunned for a moment, and didn't dare to ask more, and said, "Oh."

Luo Zijun left the garden, walked through the corridor, came to the front yard, looked back at the mansion, and then walked out of the gate.

Cui Mo sent him out and returned immediately.

at this time.

In the backyard of the Jia Mansion, Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others were talking to Old Lady Jia.

Bai Qingtong was there too.

Old Madam Jia first asked about some matters of the Bai family, and then the topic fell on Luo Zijun.

"Qingtong, isn't it unfair for Mr. Luo that your Bai family wants him to be a son-in-law?"

If it were someone else, it would certainly be difficult to say this.

This old lady is highly respected and virtuous. Even if the head of the Bai family sees her, he has to be respectful, so it is natural for him to say this.

Besides, it looked like just a casual chat.

Bai Qingtong smiled and said, "Grandma should ask my brother-in-law if he feels wronged. If he says he feels wronged, then he definitely feels wronged. But now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do."

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "He certainly wouldn't dare to complain in front of you. When he comes later, go out and play, and I'll ask him."

The others laughed.

Bai Qingtong also smiled and said, "Then I dare not leave. There are so many beautiful girls here. If I don't stay here to keep a close eye on my brother-in-law, what if he is taken advantage of or cheated away by that sister? How can I report to my sister when I go back?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter again.

Jia Tanchun laughed and said, "He's already married, who cares?"

Bai Qingtong said, "If you don't want him, Tanchun, there must be someone else who wants him. My brother-in-law is very talented and handsome. Even if he gets married, there will be many people who want him."

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Then tell me, who is the most precious person in our house?"

Bai Qingtong deliberately glanced at him, but before she could say anything, Shi Xiangyun beside her suddenly laughed and said, "I know who is precious. Whoever blushes is the one who is precious."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked left and right.

Shi Xiangyun, however, held back her laughter and looked at someone opposite her.

Sister Lin suddenly became anxious: "Yun'er, why are you looking at me? I'm not blushing."

When everyone looked at her, they saw that her cheeks were flushed and she was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Shi Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Look at me, you still say you're not blushing."

Lin Daiyu was suddenly embarrassed and anxious: "I...I...my face is red, it's hot here..."

Everyone laughed.

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Yun'er, don't bully Daiyu."

At this time, Yuanyang came in and reported: "Cui Mo is back."

The room suddenly became quiet.

When Lin Daiyu heard this, her cheeks became even redder and hotter, and she looked towards the door.

At this time, Cui Mo came in and reported: "Madam, Master Luo said he had something else to do, so he asked me to thank you. He left first and said he would come to see you next time."

Grandmother Jia was startled and asked, "Did he meet anyone when he came to the mansion?"

Cui Mo glanced at her young lady, lowered her head and said, "No, Master Luo was just walking around, watching the servants cleaning the pond in the garden, and then left."

Grandmother Jia's face was full of confusion.

Luo Zijun left the Jia Mansion, walked out of the alley, and walked slowly on the street.

I was thinking about things along the way and before I knew it, I passed by Bao'an Hall.

Just as I was about to walk past the store, I suddenly heard a familiar "cough" sound at the door.

He came to his senses, stopped and turned to look.

Su Qingling, wearing a white dress and a snow-white fox fur coat, was leaning against the door frame, looking at him coldly.

The sunlight fell on her tall, flawless figure and her pure and beautiful face, giving her a layer of golden glow, as if she was a beautiful and holy fairy who had just fallen into the world.

At this moment, her figure and her face were as pure as snow, without any hint of charm or seduction.

Luo Zijun stared at her blankly for a while, then said, "Senior sister, my sister is fine. She went back home last night."

Su Qingling looked at him a few more times, and suddenly stretched out a slender, white jade finger, hooked it at him, then straightened her towering breasts, turned around and walked into the store.

At the moment she turned around, her jet-black hair that fell to her waist like a waterfall and her spotless snow-white skirt fluttered in the air. One black and one white, they were extremely beautiful.

At this moment, the charm reappears.

Luo Zijun hesitated for a moment and followed in.
