Chapter 835 Return of the Dead(1/2)

 Sheng Changbai came to the side courtyard and found Mr. Zhuang to ask for leave.

Sheng Hong is not good at handling family affairs, but he is very understanding and quite capable outside.

The tutor he hired for Sheng Changbai was not an ordinary person. Mr. Zhuang was a well-known Confucian scholar.

Moreover, Mr. Zhuang's reputation as a great scholar is not just an empty name, he has special talents. Mr. Zhuang is especially good at teaching students. He is a famous imperial examination teacher with many students winning Jinshi.

This was the tutor that the Sheng family couldn't hire because Sheng Hong had saved Mr. Zhuang's mother in prison.

In order to repay Mr. Zhuang's kindness, he was willing to work as a private school teacher in the Sheng family.

The Lord of Heaven and Earth is a teacher, and feudal society especially respects teachers. 'Sheng Changbai' likes to study, and he respects this gentleman very much.

Sheng Changbai traveled through time and felt that this Mr. Zhuang was the guarantee that he would succeed in the imperial examination and enter the official career in the future.

Of course, we must continue to be respectful. According to past habits, we went to the side courtyard specially set up by Sheng Hong for Mr. Zhuang and asked for leave from Mr. Zhuang.

Then I waited for Sheng Hong at the door and followed Sheng Hong to the Yamen.

"Bai'er, why don't you stop reading?"

Of course, the appearance of the 'Giant View' cannot be good-looking. After arriving at the Lianfang, Sheng Hong couldn't bear to look directly at the corpse that seemed to be Gu Tingye's.

"Father, I can just take a look at Zhong Huai myself."

After Sheng Hong went out, Sheng Changbai asked the widow to take off the corpse's shirt and take a look.

After seeing that although there were several stab wounds and sword wounds on the body's back, there were no old wounds from sticks, and the situation was confirmed.

For the sake of Gu Tingye's hiding, Sheng Changbai did not take action after he was sure. He just secretly felt sorry for this little boy. Following Gu Tingye, this little boy was also unlucky.

Selling yourself as a slave is miserable enough, barely making a living, but you have to go through such a stabbing.

He lost his life at a young age, when he was still only half a child.

Without waiting for Sheng Hong to go to the Yamen, Sheng Changbai rode back to Sheng's house on his own.

Although Gu Tingye has brains, he is still a reckless man in essence.

I may be a little lucky, and have a family from the Marquis Mansion to rely on, so it's not a big problem, but this kind of behavior is quite draining on the people around me.

After returning home, Sheng Changbai did not go to class and returned to his yard.

Prepare to read a few books first to get used to your gift of photographic memory.

Sheng Changbai felt that the extraction of this talent was predetermined by the system.

‘Sheng Changbai’ is naturally talented and has a photographic memory. If he didn’t have this ability, it would be too easy for Sheng Changbai to reveal his secrets when he traveled through time.

It's hard to say, because after being attacked or falling into the water once, people become stupid and their memory deteriorates.

I found a miscellaneous book and looked at it. I found that the serious Four Books and Five Classics "Sheng Changbai" had already been memorized and stored in my memory. It could not test my photographic memory ability at all.

Only this kind of miscellaneous books, which Sheng Changbai didn't read at all, can test his photographic memory. How good is it?

The result is still gratifying. After concentrating my concentration, it is not difficult to memorize even these difficult-to-read classical Chinese passages.

Of course, photographic memory is only a short-term memory. If you want to remember it for a long time, it is necessary to look at it from time to time to review the past and learn the new.

"Yanghao, has anything happened at home these two days?"

Sheng Changbai asked the waitress.

The consequence of being too mature and stable is to be able to control yourself and prevent yourself from being unable to bear temptation and being addicted to women at a young age. The female envoys selected by Sheng Changbai are all mediocre in appearance.

Even the names are all derived from animals such as Yang Hao, Wolf Hao and Hao.

A yard of servants specializes in a collection of calligraphy brushes.

There is nothing like the atmosphere of reading in red sleeves and reading at night.

"The eldest daughter's in-laws, the eldest son of Earl Yongqin's Mansion, are still living in our courtyard. The master and the eldest lady have told the servants in the family to stay safe and be safe, and nothing will happen."

"Forget it." Sheng Changbai waved his hand: "I shouldn't ask you about this."

Sheng Changbai didn't worry about some things in Sheng Hong's back house, and naturally the people in Sheng Changbai's courtyard didn't care much about this news.

They are all peaceful and honest people who rarely go out of the yard and are not good at asking about news about the back house.

"Sir, if you want to know anything, I can help you find out." Yang Hao replied.

"No, you go and find me a set of exquisite Four Treasures of the Study, and I'll go see my eldest sister."

Not understanding the situation in his own courtyard, Sheng Changbai was ready to find his eldest sister.

As a girl, Sheng Hualan could only hang out in the back house and had no idea about everything at home.

Hua Lan has already grown hair and is engaged. It is time to follow my mother and learn how to manage a house.

You can't be ignorant of the family affairs in the back house.

Hua Lan has already made an engagement, and now she has only one task - to get married.

To break it down, it means learning to be a housekeeper and embroidering your own dowry.

Sheng Changbai has his own small courtyard. Hua Lan is the eldest sister and is older than Sheng Changbai. Of course, she already has her own courtyard.

"Sister, I have sent you a set of the four treasures of the study. Don't just be busy doing needlework. Your eyes should be exhausted. You can take time to write and relax."

Facing the sensible eldest sister, the 'little adult' Sheng Changbai has always had this kind of tone, which is both caring and a bit lecturing.

This person's temperament is indeed quite abnormal. He is different from ordinary people at a young age. Like the old man, he feels that writing is relaxing.

"Brother Bai'er, why are you here? I was going to see you, but you and your father went out. What did you do yesterday?" Hua Lan said with concern.

Two people have one parent, and both are sensible enough, so naturally they have a good relationship.

Unlike Sheng Rulan, who is unruly and domineering, disobedient to discipline, and does not have a good relationship with Hualan and Changbai.

In Hualan's courtyard, I drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while.

Sheng Changbai, who was insinuating, also found out from Hua Lan what happened in the back house of his family in the past two days.

This incident somewhat went against some of Sheng Changbai's original temperament.

Sheng Changbai is a person who doesn't care about his inner life.

Sheng Changbai was not qualified and could not intervene in some dirty things between Sheng Hong, his wife, and his concubines.

Three things happened to the owner of the house in the past few days.

The first thing was that Sheng Changfeng almost exported Hualan's hired geese, which almost caused the Sheng family to lose face in the entire Yangzhou city. Sheng Hong punished Sheng Changfeng, but not severely.

After Lin Zongshuang and Lin Xiaoniang tried to please and act pitiful, Sheng Hong treated Sheng Changfeng lightly, but only fined her 30 strokes.

Even these thirty boards were superficial punishment, used to fool Wang Ruofu.

Let Sheng Hong's eldest follower Dongrong take charge of the punishment. How could Sheng Hong, a shrewd person, not know that Dongrong has a set of "craftsmanship" of making boards passed down from his family.

He hit lightly and hit hard all in one thought of Dong Rong. The noise sounded loud, but in fact Sheng Changfeng was fine at all.

To be honest, although Sheng Hong relied on Sheng Changbai, it was only because of Sheng Changbai's eagerness to learn, progress, and talent.

Sheng Hong's true favorites are Lin Xiaoniang's two children, Sheng Changfeng, the third child, and Sheng Molan, the fourth child.

The second thing was that the old lady of the Sheng family, under Sheng Hong's persuasion, finally agreed to raise a child by her side.

The old lady is deep in the inner house, and she is not the confused Jia Mu in Dream of Red Mansions. Of course she will not raise a boy among the women in the inner house, so she can only raise a girl.

Hua Lan will get married soon, so of course this candidate can only be chosen among the three orchids.

The third thing is that yesterday Xiaodie, a maid in Wei's mother's room, was kicked out of the Sheng family for stealing the master's finances.

Of course Xiaodie was wronged, Wei Xiaoniang was the only loyal female envoy.

He was almost beaten to death and kicked out of the Sheng family. It was all Sheng Laoliu's fault for being so flamboyant.

Dare to report Lin Zongshuang's black status to Sheng Hong, the reason why Lin Zongshuang took revenge.

A six-year-old girl is smart, but no matter how smart she is, her scheming is not mature enough.

Sheng Changbai didn't go to school in the afternoon. He was attacked and killed yesterday. It was finally time for him to take a rest.

I returned to the courtyard and thought about my next plan.

Then I took out the precious ancient books, calligraphy and paintings in the house and admired them.

Many things have not been passed down to a thousand years later. Sheng Changbai is also a lover of ancient culture.

Seeing these things, it is inevitable that I feel a little itchy.

"System, sign in."

"Congratulations to the host for receiving: two hundred copper coins and a pack of iodized salt."

Another sign-in that is of little use, the system can use salt to fool people.

Although salt in the Zhou Dynasty was very expensive, a pound of coarse salt consumed by the common people cost sixty or seventy cents.

The price of pure snowflake salt consumed by wealthy families is even ten times higher.

But this pack of refined salt is not really of much use to Sheng Changbai, even if it is iodized.

Considering the diet structure of the Sheng family, they eat everything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, and swims in the sea. It is impossible that Sheng Changbai lacks any trace elements.
