Chapter 540 Let’s Go, Xin’an
"Mr. Liang, I'm just a messenger and can't make the decision. Please see..." The waiter looked pleading.
Liang Tengyue's face darkened. "What? Is your shopkeeper a coward? Believe it or not, if you don't bring someone here, I'll have someone smash your shabby shop."
With his status, does he need to consider the waiter's difficulties?
The waiter's face turned pale, but he still went there anyway.
There's so much noise here, how could the shopkeeper not know about it?
His face was covered in sweat as he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Boss, what do you think?"
He can't settle this matter. The Liang family is very powerful and has a strong foundation in the court. Their boss can't afford to offend them.
"Humph, useless. Look at how you train people? You can't even do such a small thing."
Wang Xiangui was about thirty years old, with a round face, wearing a felt hat and a dark brown gown.
He usually smiles with his eyes slightly narrowed, looking somewhat friendly, but in fact he is a treacherous person, and is known as a smiling tiger.
But at this moment, he had a stern face and was playing with the jade ring on his hand, which made the shopkeeper feel uneasy.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I didn't lead my men well."
Wang Xiangui gave him a look of dismay: "Since the waiter is no longer useful, why don't you deal with him?"
The shopkeeper met his gaze and reacted.
I felt a chill on my back. It was their boss's idea to force Miss Linglong to stay today, and the waiter was just following orders.
Now something happened...
"Yes, I'll do it right away." The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and did not dare to delay.
He hurried out and just as he reached the stairs to the second floor, he ran into the waiter who was looking for him.
"The shopkeeper..."
He had just opened his mouth when he was slapped in the face, causing a burning pain.
"How do you do things, you idiot?"
"I asked you to invite Miss Linglong to reminisce about the past. Who allowed you to treat her with disrespect?"
The shopkeeper reprimanded him severely.
"Snapped!"
He swung another slap: "How dare you contradict Master Liang and affect the guests' mood for dinner? I think you don't want to live anymore."
The waiter covered his face with his hands and looked at him, fearful and confused.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to Master Liang?"
The shopkeeper was ferocious to him, but turned to look at Master Liang with a flattering look.
"Mr. Liang, I'm so sorry. I was busy in the kitchen just now, and I lost my mind for a moment and let this ignorant person ruin your mood. I'm really sorry."
Liang Tengyue said nothing and glanced at the waiter.
The shopkeeper kicked him directly, and the waiter knelt down in front of Liang Tengyue.
Finally, the shopkeeper waived the cost of Liang Tengyue's entire table's meal as an apology.
After thanking Mr. Liang, Miss Linglong subconsciously went to look for Qin Yan and his sister.
She knew that if it weren't for them, a noble like Master Liang would not meddle in other people's affairs, but she found that they were gone.
They left long before the shopkeeper beat the waiter.
Liang Tengyue snorted calmly. No one would be in a good mood if a knife was blocked. Fortunately, he did not gain nothing.
After this incident, Liang Tengyue gained a reputation for being compassionate, upright, and helpful.
However, this is all for later.
On the second floor, Bai Jiayu and others who had not left yet watched the whole process.
"Our Brother Qin is no ordinary person. He set a trap for Liang Tengyue with just a few words and forced him to jump into it."
Liu Yanming put away his folding fan, an inexplicable look flashing in his eyes: "In my opinion, the first place in this college entrance examination must go to Brother Qin."
Bai Jiayu turned his head to look at him: "Didn't Brother Qin say that his re-answer... might be dangerous?"
Imperial examinations have always required both talent and luck. Perhaps Qin Yan was just unlucky this time.
Liu Yanming thought about it and said nothing.
"Alright, alright. I know you all are confident of passing the retest, but I'm the only one who's useless. I don't care. You're all on me today."
Wan Yueming interrupted them.
He also failed the first round, but he didn't rush back, just to see how his friends were doing.
Bai Jiayu and Liu Yanming looked at each other and said no more.
On the way home, Qin Yan glanced at his silent sister and asked, "Zhizhi, do you understand?"
Fang Nanzhi was in a bad mood.
She saw the power of authority and watched the big fish eat the small fish.
But the little girl realized that the waiter might not be able to continue working in Cuixuanlou. He was suffering for others, but it was also his own fault.
Even though he was following orders, the waiter's words and actions did not show any respect for Miss Linglong, which shows that he was acting from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother, you want me to learn how to use the opponent's force to your advantage."
Fang Nanzhi has always been a smart child and can understand things quickly.
Qin Yan looked at her with a smile: "Exactly. In the future, we may encounter such people and such things again. We can speak up for justice and help those in need, but we must be careful about the methods and ways."
"Zhizhi, think about it, if you and I were to come forward today, how would this matter be resolved?"
Fang Nanzhi thought seriously.
They have no power or influence, the waiters may not give them face, and even if the shopkeeper knows, he will pretend not to know.
Unless the matter gets a little more serious, the shopkeeper might politely drive them away, and then he might have to use the names of Liu Yanming or Bai Jiayu to do things.
Fang Nanzhi sighed: "They are unreasonable."
"Yeah." Qin Yan did not deny: "In this world, there are more people who are reasonable than those who are powerful."
"We must learn to observe the situation, take advantage of it, and use it to achieve our goals."
My sister is growing up day by day, her medical skills and studies are improving, as is her appearance.
She grew up a little, and her stunning face was revealed for the first time.
A girl who is beautiful, talented and literary, but has no powerful force to protect her, is destined to encounter all kinds of dangers.
Qin Yan wanted his sister to grow up and be able to face the future calmly, so he had to break the world down and talk about it, not just the good parts.
Fang Nanzhi frowned. This was different from what Mr. Zheng taught.
The teacher taught her to be a gentleman and taught her that everyone should be kind, righteous, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.
But my brother said that there are few people in the world who observe etiquette and know reason. Should we determine right and wrong based on the situation?
Is it justifiable for the powerful to bully the people?
No, that's not right, brother, that's not what I meant.
Her father used to be oppressed by the Fang family in every way.
Even though Old Master Fang used filial piety as his main motive to suppress others, her father had grown up and become smart, and was able to resist Old Master Fang's power!
Therefore, if you want to reason with others, you must first stand in the same position as the other party and have the same say.
If you cannot achieve it temporarily, you must be patient, use the force of others to your advantage, and act according to the circumstances.
Fang Nanzhi suddenly understood and raised her little head: "I know, brother."
Qin Yan felt a little relieved, because he knew that with his sister's intelligence, even if she saw the darkness in this world, she would not be affected.
There is always someone who is like the sun and can dispel the darkness.
When the brother and sister returned to the courtyard, Fang Tong and his wife had already packed up, and Qin Gaofei and his son had also arrived.
They agreed to return to the village together.
A group of people drove out of the city in horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.
This made Liang Tengyue, who felt unwilling to accept the situation after returning home and wanted to cause trouble for Qin Yan, even more angry and had nowhere to vent his anger.
