The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

It was afternoon, and the sunlight filtered out by the shadows of the trees slanted into the half-open and half-closed door. Several wooden pillars supporting the beams stretched their shadows on the ground. Chen Heng and Daiyu stood at the boundary between light and shadow and heard the strange noise in the lecture hall.

The two of them turned their heads sideways and immediately noticed several children poking their heads outside the door. Overcoming the fine dust floating in the air, Chen Heng walked through one area of ​​light and shadow after another, and came to the door to drive these children away.

Go, go, go back to class and read.

Master is inside.

Then read what you just taught again. Chen Heng continued to chase people away without any explanation.

After the naughty children hid far away, he led Daiyu into the lecture hall.

The situation inside was surprising. Miss Zhen was one of the few people sitting, and her hand was held by the elder Mr. Xie.

Because of the sound of Chen Heng coming in, she slightly raised her head and glanced over, then quickly lowered her head.

Baoqin, who was wearing a silk coat and a pomegranate horse-faced skirt, pulled the two girls from the Wei family and stood around them, with a bit of anger and disbelief on their faces. Not far from this group of people, Jia Yucun was standing there in disbelief.

Chen Heng was a little curious, so he looked at Xue Baoqin with a searching look. Everyone else didn't look like someone who could explain things clearly in just a few words.

Bao Qin understood Chen Heng's inquiry and came to him and Daiyu in small steps. Covering the corners of her mouth with her waist fan, she said softly, Miss Zhen, she seems to be the daughter of an old friend.

Is there such a coincidence? Lin Daiyu exclaimed, unable to believe it for a moment.

She had heard about Miss Zhen's life experience from her brother, and was worried about how he would find her family.

I just didn't expect that after going out for a walk with Chen Heng, Miss Zhen would reunite with her old friend.

Chen Heng was shocked. He still didn't understand why. The daughter of Jia Yucun's old friend has the same Yinglian voice just now.

It turns out that the person who was abducted by Xu Mazi for more than ten years turned out to be Xiang Ling who suffered a lot in the book.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it.

Chen Heng smiled bitterly, and now looking at Miss Zhen's appearance, everything became traceable again.

He has an outstanding appearance, charming charm, and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. Doesn't it fit Xiang Ling's description exactly?

Will Jia Yucun meet Yinglian or after Chen Heng and Daiyu leave, he is going to come to the lecture hall to get some tea for the children.

The sun is quite bright today, and the children's mouths are dry after sitting for a long time.

As soon as he stepped through the door, he bumped into Yinglian who was about to leave. The two looked at each other subconsciously, and Jia Yucun immediately stood there blankly.

When Yinglian walked out of the door, he hurriedly caught up with her, pulled her sleeves, and insisted on asking her age and name.

This time, everyone in the lecture hall was shocked. Mrs. Xie, who came over, saw Jia Yucun's anxious face and knew there must be something hidden, so she quickly invited them both into the lecture hall.

The reason Jia Yucun could recognize Zhen Yinglian so easily was not entirely because of Yinglian's birthmark.

You must know that women in the city love flowers, and they also prefer exquisite and natural dresses. It is also a trend nowadays to order a cinnabar mole by yourself, which looks like a natural cinnabar mole.

In fact, Zhen Yinglian's appearance is very similar to her parents.

The facial features and lip shape make people think of Zhen Shiyin at a glance. The eyebrows, eyes and nose were almost exactly the same as her mother's. Only then did Jia Yucun recognize Yinglian at a glance.

After Jia Yucun was in high school, he went back to Suzhou to look for Zhen Shiyin. He was a scholar who studied hard in his humble beginnings. After he became famous, he could not help but have some thoughts of showing off to his old friends.

This is human nature and there is no need to criticize too much. What's more, Jia Yucun also hopes that Zhen Shiyin knows that the other party did not misjudge the person. He is indeed a talent. What he lacked before was just an opportunity. As for whether there are any other thoughts in my mind, there is no need to elaborate now.

Unfortunately, when he arrived in Suzhou, he learned that the Zhen family had suffered a major change. His beloved daughter was abducted during the Lantern Festival. Brother Zhen and his sister-in-law sold their land and house and searched for their daughter. When he returned, even the ancestral home was reduced to ruins.

In this regard, Jia Yucun could only sigh: Fortune plays tricks on people. He could only leave Suzhou very frustrated.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Jia Yucun met Zhen's sister-in-law again and married her sister-in-law's slave Jiao Xing. Entrusted by her, Jia Yucun remembered her request to find the Zhen family's father and daughter.

Jia Yucun, who had been in office and resigned, traveled all over the world, and then came to Leyi Academy to take over the post of Xuezheng after Mei Jin left.

It was through such many opportunities and coincidences that he met the daughter of his old friend today.

After Chen Heng listened to Bao Qin's story quietly, he knew that such a tortuous and bizarre thing had happened just after he left.

He really couldn't hold it in anymore and sighed: Is it really destined to be something somewhere?

Lin Daiyu's nose felt sore after hearing this. A child like her who grew up with the love and care of her parents would always have more kindness and love for the world. Hearing such an experience of separation and reunification, even the mentally tough brother would be moved, let alone a kind-hearted girl like her.

It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva. It really makes people wait until all the hardships are over. Lin Daiyu said happily for the other party, Miss Zhen, you will be reunited with your parents soon.

Chen Heng couldn't help but smile bitterly, his sister didn't know.

If what is said in the book is true, Miss Zhen's father has seen through the world of mortals and has become a monk, and is traveling around with his teacher. Her mother was easy to find, she was by her grandfather's side. Watching the green lantern and white cloth every day, waiting for the father and daughter to come back.

Chen Heng was thinking about it. When Jia Yucun saw him, he immediately came over and saluted Chen Heng.

Xue Zheng, why is this happening? Chen Heng stepped aside in fear.

I heard Yinglian say that if it weren't for you, she might have been abducted to Jinling by human traffickers. Jia Yucun looked excited and sad, Such... a great kindness, please accept me as my master.

It's not necessary, it's your duty, Master, why should you do this?

Chen Heng hurriedly supported the other person, and the two of them were back and forth in a humiliating manner. Finally, under Xie's dissuasion, the two gave up and sat back down.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a while, and everyone present was thinking. Chen Heng was also thinking about Miss Zhen’s situation. Publicly and privately, he said that whether the other party was Xiang Ling or not would not affect his willingness to help him.

As early as when Miss Zhen entered the city, he had made an arrangement with Xue Biao and others. After the government office had finished interrogating the traffickers, he would use the information he had learned to find Miss Zhen's family.

Now that this matter was added, Chen Heng looked at Jia Yucun, who still looked excited, and for a moment he didn't know what decision to make.

How credible is this man who personally pushed Xiang Ling into hell in the original book?

Chen Heng himself didn't know, so he could only ask Jia Yucun in a low voice: Xue Zheng, what are you going to do?

Of course we need to take good care of Yinglian first. In front of Ms. Xie, Jia Yucun answered without any hesitation, Now the time is not right. After the New Year, I will send a letter to the Zhen family to tell my sister-in-law that she has been found. child.

Seeing that he only mentioned the Feng family, Chen Heng knew that the other party knew about Zhen Shiyin's becoming a monk. He pursed his lips slightly, his thoughts changing rapidly.

After all, Jia Yucun and the Zhen family have a relationship, and now that they have known each other, Jia Yucun is more qualified and has reason to take care of Yinglian than anyone else. As for other things, there is no need to worry too much now. We will find Miss Zhen’s mother first.

Master Renyi. Chen Heng put a high hat on the other party, and then looked at Zhen Yinglian who was carefully looking over. He could see the latter's worry and couldn't help but comfort him: Don't worry, Miss Zhen, we will definitely help your family as soon as possible. Write a letter. If you have other ideas, you can always tell me.

Zhen Yinglian was actually very flustered by Jia Yucun's sudden appearance. She and Jia Yucun had never met before, but today she was suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and said that she was an old friend of her father. She was a little surprised, but also a little panicked and at a loss.

Now that Chen Heng saw how he was feeling, the hands that were tightly holding on to the cloak couldn't help but let go. Zhen Yinglian calmed down her panic a little and said softly: I...I listen to you.

Maybe it's the nestling complex, maybe it's the life-saving grace that plays a psychological role. Compared to Jia Yucun, Zhen Yinglian believed in Chen Heng more. After all, this young man was the first stranger he met outside.

Feeling the trust in the other person's words, Chen Heng nodded silently. As soon as he stopped talking, the expression on his face naturally calmed down, making Zhen Yinglian feel inexplicably relieved.

After everyone chatted for a while, Chen Heng was ready to stand up and leave.

After saying goodbye to several acquaintances, Chen Heng and Xinda went out with a little tail behind them.

Aren't you going to ask Xuezheng more about your family?

...I don't know. Zhen Yinglian lowered her head, as if concentrating on her toes. The shoes were a little worn, I want to know, but I'm afraid to know.

Seeing the other party saying I know three times in a row, Chen Heng understood the meaning clearly. He thought for a while and then turned the topic elsewhere, I just asked my sister from the Xue family to go out with you tomorrow to buy some suitable clothes.

After all, Lin Daiyu is inconvenient to go out, but she is not as free as Xue Baoqin.

He explained to the other party, It's the girl in the horse-faced skirt. Her brother and I are close friends. You don't have to worry about troublesome her. If she comes to see you, just go.

I understand. Zhen Yinglian nodded and answered obediently.

Don't be afraid, everything will be fine in the future. Chen Heng couldn't think of anything to comfort him, so he just said one word of comfort before leaving.

Taking Xinda with me again, we walked into the afternoon sunshine.

Will you come again tomorrow? the girl asked, chasing the retreating figure.

Chen Heng turned back, smiled and nodded at her.

After the two chapters are updated today, there will be an extra chapter about Xiang Ling. Let me tell you in advance.
