Houfu Key Class

Today was Shunzi's night watch. As soon as he heard Zong Jincheng yelling, he immediately ran in from outside and asked, "What's the matter, Master?"

The little devil was so anxious that he went to bed barefoot again and said repeatedly: "Jade pendant, my jade pendant, the jade pendant given to me by my grandmother, go and get it back for me!"

Shunzi's head was instantly knotted.

The jade pendant given by the old lady?

Wasn't that one cleared by Mr. Cheng eight hundred years ago?

Shunzi said weakly: "It's been five months since this happened. The boss might have pawned the jade pendant long ago..."

The little devil pushed him out and said hurriedly: "Go and ask, maybe he's still here!"

Shunzi was pushed away, still confused: "But even if the jade pendant is still there, we can't redeem it. You treated your friends to a whole day of eating, drinking and having fun, which cost at least fifty taels. We still owe Madam The two hundred and ninety-nine taels have not been paid back yet, and my pocket is cleaner than my face..."

The little devil's face was red and purple.

Thinking that he was now poor and had nothing to lose, and that he had sold the jade pendant to make his grandmother angry, he felt wronged and frightened, so he pushed Shunzi away and ran outside.

Shunzi followed his gaze and saw that the little ancestor was still barefoot. He was so frightened that he lost his soul. He quickly picked up the little devil's shoes and socks from the bed and chased after him.

Pan Hongzhi, who was completely awake: "??"

What is this for?

He also quickly dressed and chased after her.

In the silent courtyard of the Hou Mansion, the extinguished lamps were turned on one by one. The maids and servants who were keeping watch outside the house were all startled. They saw the little boy running hurriedly under the moonlight, with sweat on his face and body.

It wasn't until he came to Zongwen Monastery and saw his brother still studying hard under the lamp without sleeping that Zong Jincheng opened his eyes wide, ran to the window and knocked hard on the window and said: "Brother, are you still awake?" , I have something to ask you."

"Jincheng?" Zong Wenxiu, who was reading at night, heard this and quickly left the table to open the door. Zhao Yin, who was accompanying Zong Wenxiu to sort out his notes, also put down the book in his hand.

The door opened, and the little devil asked anxiously with a sweaty face: "Brother, can you lend me fifty taels first. I will pay you back when I finish paying back Xu Wan's money, and I promise not to default on the debt."

Shunzi finally caught up behind him, panting: "Mr. Cheng, shoes, put on shoes."

Only then did Zong Wenxiu realize that his younger brother came in a hurry and didn't even put on shoes or socks. His expression immediately changed. He dragged his younger brother to sit on the bed. Shunzi quickly helped the little ancestor put on his shoes.

The little devil still looked at him and said pitifully: "Brother, help me."

Zong Wenxiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you, but you have to tell me what happened first."

The little devil instantly beamed with joy and told him the process, and also expressed his fear of his grandmother being angry. Zong Wenxiu felt relieved after hearing this.

He was frightened to death. His younger brother came suddenly in the middle of the night. He thought something serious had happened. However, a few thousand taels of jade pendant was worth fifty taels of silver. It was indeed a big deal, but I didn't expect that it took so long for my brother to react.

Zong Wenxiu went to the house to look for silver, and soon found fifty taels and handed it to him and said, "You can take it and use it. I'll be fine if you don't return it."

The little devil smiled and said: "Thank you, brother, I know you love me the most. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back when I have money!"

The little boy was sitting on the edge of the bed swinging his legs, feeling happy, like a child who had eaten candy.

Zong Wenxiu smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, I got the money, go back to bed quickly. The shops are closed now. I'll ask Shunzi to take you to exchange for the jade pendant tomorrow."

"Yeah!" The little devil nodded solemnly, hugged the silver and left with a smile. Before leaving, he saw that there were still polished inks and wet ink marks on the paper beside his brother's desk.

"Brother, are you still doing the test papers?" Zong Jincheng asked.

Zong Wenxiu nodded and said: "There is still one more thing to finish. I will go to bed after finishing this."

The little devil said blankly: "Oh, okay, then you go to bed early."

"Well, you should go back to sleep quickly."

As soon as Pan Hongzhi chased after him, he saw Zong Jincheng coming back with money in his hand. The weight was quite heavy at first sight. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the cousins ​​in the Zong family was quite good. This boy came back with a lot of money after one trip.

When the little devil saw him coming, he looked down at the silver in his arms and asked him, "My brother can definitely go to the children's science class, right?"

If you are still studying so late, it will definitely not be in vain.

Pan Hongzhi imitated his way of speaking and said, "Of course, the literary cultivator is very good."

The little devil frowned and said, "Then why is he working so hard? He slept too late."

Pan Hongzhi said: "Wen Xiu must not be confident. People like him will not relax for a moment without having 100% confidence."

The little devil curled his lips and said: "Then I need to give my brother more confidence, otherwise he will be very tired living like this."

Pan Hongzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, it's better to let go of your confidence. He doesn't want to face two arrogant and arrogant guys every day.

After the little devil finally subsided.

Xu Wan, who was standing at the door of the courtyard with her clothes on, turned around and returned to the courtyard. She yawned and said, "This little brat is really capable of making people miserable. Fortunately, Mrs. Pan is young."

Cuizhi smiled and said: "Actually, Master Zhao can endure it quite well. He has been studying with Mr. Xiu these past few days and has never dared to relax for a moment."

Xu Wan nodded and said: "In a few days, the children will take a three-day vacation. Let the personal trainers also go home and have a good rest."

"yes."

Xu Wan went back to the room while thinking about whether to return the jade pendant to the little devil.

The reason why the jade pendant fell back into the hands of Butler Liu was because the steward would cause trouble, and Zong Jincheng himself needed to bear the responsibility for the mistakes he made.

Although he has grown a lot in the past five months,... the jade pendant cannot be returned to him under any circumstances.

At least not now.

"Call Butler Liu over tomorrow morning. I have something to explain to him."

"yes."

Under Xu Wan's instructions, Butler Liu went to help the owner and asked him to agree to the sale of the jade pendant and not give Zong Jincheng a chance to redeem the jade pendant.

The little devil ran away and got nothing. He didn't get back the jade pendant, and he didn't spend the money. He was so angry that he walked around in the small courtyard, "Damn it, damn it, you have to pay for the goods twice, you don't acknowledge the debt without a written receipt, what do you want?" The jade pendant asked me to go to the pawn shop to redeem it at the normal price. They simply bullied me for being naive!"

The little devil was so angry that he screamed in the courtyard. He howled: "Don't say anything, don't say anything. Come with me, and we'll smash up that evil boss's shop!"

He resisted without saying a word: "..."

I don’t want it, I won’t go, don’t take me!
