Chapter 714 Xiao Yining Admits Mistake
Amid the crowd's shoving and pushing, the masked man and his son stepped aside.
Leng Qingyin praised meaningfully: "Wang Cheng is indeed very smart, and he uses the sound of the zither to debate. After today, he will become famous in Yanjing City and will definitely attract attention during the imperial examination."
As the imperial examinations and imperial examinations approached, the number of scholars and writers in Yanjing City increased day by day, and literary talks were frequently held, where many people became famous. However, Leng Shuyu always disdained these things.
He glanced at his father, then turned his gaze to Wang Cheng, who was surrounded by the crowd, with indescribable emotions flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, some people came forward to invite Wang Cheng to participate in the discussion meeting, but he humbly declined one by one and tried to leave the encirclement quickly. This move won a lot of praise, but he was still blocked by the crowd.
"Go up, and don't reveal your thoughts in front of others."
Leng Qingyin glanced at his son indifferently, warned him coldly, and turned to walk to the second floor.
Xiao Yining had been paying attention to the masked man and his son. Seeing that they were about to go to the box again, he knew that they still wanted to meet their uncle.
She quickly turned around and whispered in the old man's ear, "Uncle, Grandpa Leng is taking Young Master Leng upstairs."
Wang Cheng glanced casually at the stairs, a hint of sarcasm and sneer flashed in his eyes, then he stopped pretending to be nice, quickly put the kid on his legs, bowed slightly to everyone, and saluted with his fists.
"Thank you for your compliments. I am only a little acquainted with music. Seeing you all discussing the past and present, I was moved and wanted to express my feelings with the zither. Moreover, I am not very talented and well-educated, so I dare not show off my skills in front of you and make a fool of myself."
"Besides..." The old man paused, then held the baby in his arms again, wiped away his tears, and patted him soothingly.
He looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly and continued: "I really can't discuss the Dao with peace of mind, and this unclean clothing is also unsightly."
Everyone noticed the ink stains on Wang Cheng's body and couldn't help but frown. Many smart people had already started to communicate with each other secretly with their eyes and shook their heads in regret.
One of them stepped forward and asked, "Since you have something to say, we will not force you. However, this forum is for the discussion of a hundred schools of thought. If you have any good ideas, why not bring them up? We can come and ask for your advice some other day."
As soon as this was said, many people echoed it.
Wang Cheng was so kind that he could not refuse. He hesitated for a moment and then smiled shyly, "My humble opinion - teaching is natural."
When everyone heard this, they all felt refreshed and began to concentrate on thinking. The person who spoke also took this opportunity to squeeze out of the encirclement and quickly ran towards the stairs.
At this time, someone came to his senses and hurriedly asked loudly: "I haven't asked your name yet, can you tell me?"
Wang Cheng replied in a carefree manner, "I am Wang Cheng from Yunfei Academy, and I am a student of Jiang Tingsong, the Grand Secretary."
"Jiang Tingsong, the Grand Secretary Jiang...isn't he the grandson of Elder Jiang?"
"It's true that a good teacher produces good students!"
"It's true!"
"..."
Everyone looked to the second floor quickly, and saw that this person apologized to the masked man in front of him, and then entered the box one after another with him.
Leng Shuyu looked down at the people below who were looking up into the distance, whispered "What a way to attract attention!", and then disappeared from everyone's sight.
The door of the box closed again, and the sound of a baby crying could be heard faintly.
Before the Wang siblings and Leng Shuyu even started greeting each other, the little boy had already admitted his mistake.
"Grandpa Leng, Sister Qing didn't mean to knock over your beloved things!"
As soon as Xiao Yining entered the box, she struggled to get off the ground, sobbed and ran to Leng Qingyin, and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry... Qingjie will compensate Grandpa Leng for Qingjie's beloved things."
Leng Qingyin lowered his eyes and stared at the little girl, thinking over and over again about her actions just now, and sighed deeply: "Princess Le'an, there is no need to feel guilty. I have only worn this ring for a long time and have feelings for it, but it is not my favorite thing."
The little kid raised his head, not hiding his suspicion, and quietly looked up at the masked man's eyes, the only eyes that could reveal his emotions, and silently asked: "Isn't this really a beloved thing?"
The masked man also understood what the little boy meant, and he raised his eyes and turned to look at his son.
Leng Shuyu immediately understood, took off the ring on his thumb and handed it over.
Leng Qingyin put on the ring in front of the little girl and spread out his big hand for her to check: "Princess, look, the ring is still there. Princess, you don't have to give me my beloved things."
Xiao Yining:...This is the first person who treats her like a fool so blatantly!
Thinking of this, the little kid still showed a genuine expression of surprise. He couldn't help but step forward and grab the big hand to look at it carefully, and complained in his heart: The Leng family and his son have such a deep affection. Even the rings are a parent-child set, and even the quality seems to be exactly the same.
This scene pierced the old man's eyes again, and he couldn't help but say: "Uncle Leng, nephew knows that you love the younger generation, but this matter must make Sister Qing aware of her mistakes and not let her make the same mistake again."
Wan Niang on the side also echoed: "Uncle Leng, Qing Jie was naughty and damaged your personal belongings. She should compensate you."
Leng Qingyin's eyes flashed with disapproval, he sighed softly, and nodded helplessly: "Forget it, it's up to you. I will be the villain who bullies children today."
After saying this, he took off the ring, handed it back to his son beside him, and said to Xiao Yining: "Princess, I don't want your beloved things. Just compensate me for the things I always carry with me, and the matter will be over."
The little girl subconsciously covered her bag. She only had one person by her side every day, and that was her nanny. Although the nanny was used to compensate for the ring, this transaction was a huge profit. But by chance, she and the nanny also developed a deep relationship.
Xiao Yining: 〒▽〒, the wet nurse must not be lost, she is my most loyal companion!
The confusion and reluctance on the little kid's face were obvious, and the adults present could see it.
At this time, Wang Gungun, who was watching the show, suggested kindly: "Qing Jie'er, if you don't want to, just use the silver to buy a new one and compensate Grandpa Leng. You have money anyway."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Cheng sternly rebuked him: "Get lost and shut up!"
Wang GunGun: ...
"Humph! You only know how to bully children."
Wang Gungun said something sarcastic and then ran to Wan Niang and asked for a pat on the head for comfort.
At the same time, the old man also came to the little girl's side, slowly squatted down, and asked with a serious expression: "Qingjie, do you still remember the story that your uncle told you - Ji Zha Hanging the Sword?"
Xiao Yining understood what he meant immediately. She grasped the mouth of the cloth bag tightly, pursed her lips and nodded silently.
Wang Cheng's expression softened a little, and he continued to ask in a gentle tone, "Sister Qing, do you still remember what your uncle said at that time?"
Tears welled up on the little kid's face, and he almost cried as he answered, "Take others as you would take yourself, and accomplish things with quality."
Wang Cheng placed his hand on the little kid's chubby hand and asked the third question earnestly, "Since Qingjie remembers everything, why don't you take out the things and compensate Grandpa Leng?"
The little girl turned her head and stared at the old man with tears in her eyes for a long time. Finally, she lowered her head as if accepting her fate and slowly let go of her chubby hand.
Xiao Yining: e(┬┬﹏┬┬)3, she is going to be separated from her wet nurse!
The old man smiled with relief, and under the little girl's gaze, he opened the cloth bag and took out her treasure for her.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of jade and bells, Wang Cheng took out something and placed it in the little kid's hand.
Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙&34;a, safety lock?
When Wan Niang saw this, she was also surprised and stepped forward to stop him, "Brother, what are you doing..."
However, before he could finish his words, Wang Cheng shook his head to stop him. He smiled apologetically at the masked man and his son, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Uncle Leng and Senior Brother Leng."
Then, the old man raised the kid’s chubby hand in front of Leng Qingyin.
Little Yining stared at the safety lock that suddenly appeared, and said solemnly: "Grandpa Leng, please accept Sister Qing's apology."
Leng Qingyin couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and reached out to take the safety lock. "In that case, I will shamelessly accept it!"
The little girl's eyes followed the safety lock until the moment it was stuffed into the arms of the masked man. She seemed unable to bear it and suddenly burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, Wan Niang hurried forward, held her daughter in her arms and comforted her gently with heartache.
A trace of impatience flashed across Wang Cheng's face, and he said softly, "Wanniang, take Qingjie and Gungun to the street for a walk. I still want to have a good chat with Uncle Leng and Senior Brother Leng."
