Chapter 56

The onlookers were suffering from indigestion and expressed that they were stuffed by the melon.

The scene in front of them was too impactful.

The master in silk and satin let his own biological son... uh, should be his biological son, right?

Everyone suddenly doubted it, but whether it was a biological son or a godson, he could be forced by the master in silk and satin in front of his own door, recognize the beating and punishment, the master himself held a thorn branch, bent over and didn't get up...

A new play arranged by the theater troupe next door?

Or is Liang Qu the prince left in the folk by the royal family, who is about to ascend the throne, and the former enemy kneels down to plead guilty?

That's how it's told in the storytelling.

Xue Dingyi was full of snot and tears, and it looked like it was going to be wiped on him. Liang Qu hurriedly retreated and shook him off.

Xue Dingyi knew he was disgusted and didn't dare to hug again, but he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and the fishermen on the side couldn't bear to see it.

"Ashui, what did he do?"

"Yes, yes, let us know."

They didn't dare to ask the master in silk and satin, but Liang Qu grew up watching him, so there was not so much fear in everyone's heart, and they all spoke out, scratching their ears and cheeks to know the reason.

Xue Chengquan heard the sound, turned to face the villagers, and explained what happened in the martial arts hall.

It's just that the details are missing, such as the two fellow villagers being beaten, he didn't say, and for example, Liang Qu was accepted as a personal disciple by Yang Dongxiong afterwards, which was blurred.

The onlookers listened, only thinking that Xue Dingyi was spoiled, violent, and collided with Liang Qu, who was Yang Dongxiong's disciple. Xue Chengquan brought his son to apologize and knelt down on the spot.

Liang Qu vaguely understood why Xue Chengquan wanted to say this.

Raise his status.

It seems that he was accepted as a disciple because he was excellent enough, not for any other reason.

When people achieve success, they often like to be praised for being gifted rather than being hardworking or lucky enough, because the former is a scarcer attribute and can better highlight the extraordinary.

If it were detailed, Xue Chengquan was worried that the villagers would feel that Liang Qu had stepped on dog shit luck. After all, without this conflict, Liang Qu might not have been favored and accepted as a disciple, which would only cause unhappiness.

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

What, Liang Qu, Liang Ashui, became the personal disciple of Master Yang?

Liang Guangtian's wife in the crowd pinched her husband's forearm and said anxiously: "Master, did you hear that!"

Liang Guangtian felt pain and shook it off: "I heard it, I heard it, why are you pinching me?"

"This kind of personal disciple, can he earn a lot of money?"

"How would I know, what personal disciple or not, isn't it the same as paying to learn martial arts in the martial arts hall? What's the difference?"

Liang Guangtian didn't take it seriously, but he didn't understand the way, and someone understood, and was immediately sneered at.

Liang Guangtian turned around in a rage: "Why is it you again?"

The sneerer was the villager who mocked Liang Guangtian for having money to drink but no money to lend grain. The two were squeezed by the crowd and bumped into each other again.

"I think you are a reed on the wall, top-heavy and shallow-rooted, bamboo shoots in the mountains, sharp-mouthed and thick-skinned but empty in the belly. The difference between a personal disciple and a disciple is huge. Going to the martial arts hall as a disciple, just pay money.

A personal disciple is a real kowtow to worship a teacher, half a son and half a father, and Ashui went to the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall. The old Master Yang there, even the county magistrate has to greet him when he sees him!"

Even the county magistrate has to greet him!?

Liang's wife and Liang Guangtian were stunned.

Liang Qu, who was surrounded by the crowd, suddenly felt a bit listless. With the other party's behavior, he couldn't really twist Xue Dingyi's head off in public, and it made no sense to pick up a branch and beat him again, so he waved his hand and refused: "That's it, the matter is over."

Xue Dingyi, who was kneeling on the ground, was overjoyed and kowtowed: "Brother Liang has a large amount, spare my dog's life, thank you Brother Liang! Thank you Brother Liang!"

Liang Qu rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Xue Chengquan stepped forward to block Liang Qu, scaring Xue Dingyi's eyeballs out.

Damn, am I still your son? The victim has forgiven me, do you really want to force me to death?

But unexpectedly, things were not as Xue Dingyi imagined. Only Xue Chengquan cupped his hands: "Brother Liang has a large amount, but I can't be ignorant of good and evil. The rebellious son did such a conscience-losing thing, and I am ashamed of my lack of teaching. Coming here today is to want Liang Young Master to teach him a lesson. Whether it is beating or scolding, I will let him bear it. Even if Liang Young Master wants to beat him to death, I have no complaints."

A thorn branch that didn't know where it was taken out was held by Xue Chengquan and offered with both hands.

Xue Chengquan originally wanted to pay money, and even let the servant bring a hundred taels of silver, but after seeing the house, his thoughts changed immediately.

Give a hundred taels of silver, and it will be forgotten after it is spent.

But if it is used to repair the house, then Liang Qu will definitely think of him often when he lives there in the future.

Liang Qu was quite moved when he heard this.

He was indeed uncomfortable living in this earth-embryo house. The ground was all yellow mud, and his feet were full of mud when it rained, and it was a bit leaky.

But if it is repaired, it will take at least a few months, right?

After thinking for a while, Liang Qu still refused. Compared with the benefits he could get, it was really too inconvenient. Anyway, he only slept on that bed. If he really wanted to sleep better, he could go to the martial arts hall to live.

Xue Chengquan was very disappointed. Just when he retreated and took the second best, and was about to take out the hundred taels of silver.

But he heard Liang Qu say: "If you really want to do something, there is a River God sacrifice in our township in two days. Except for the share taken by the big households, every young and strong man has to pay one hundred wen of copper coins.

If Xue Master has the heart, help make up this part, let the villagers save money to have a good year, and by the way, set up a porridge shed for a few days. There are more and more beggars in the township these two days."

Liang Qu also realized recently that this world actually uses the solar calendar. I heard it was something made by the Imperial Observatory, and it had some special purpose, so the Spring Festival is not January 1st, but at the end of January this year, and it hasn't passed yet.

It happened that Xue Chengquan delivered it to his door, and Liang Qu didn't mind being generous with others' money. Maybe he could really become a township sage in the future.

Of course, if Liang Qu knew that Xue Chengquan had also prepared a hundred taels, it might be another idea.

Xue Chengquan was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as he could leave an impression on Liang Qu, he could do anything.

Besides, one hundred wen per man, adding up to only a few dozen taels, and it wouldn't cost eighty taels including porridge, which was cheap.

The melon-eating crowd was also high. They just came to eat melons and join in the fun, and didn't expect that they could eat it on themselves.

A full one hundred wen, they could have a few more meat dishes on the table for the New Year, and have a bottle of small wine!

Several clever half-grown children in the crowd drilled out of the crowd and looked at Xue Chengquan: "Master, Master, let us go and tell everyone."

Xue Chengquan laughed loudly, took out copper coins from his arms and distributed them one by one: "Trouble you to tell everyone, the money for the River God sacrifice, except for the big households who take the lead, everyone else doesn't have to pay, it's on me, Xue, oh, no, it's on Liang Young Master!"

Getting the reward, the children were beaming and rushed to the street to run and tell each other.

"Liang Young Master became the disciple of the martial arts hall master!"

"Liang Young Master wants to pay for everyone to sacrifice to the River God!"

"Liang Young Master wants to set up a porridge shed to give porridge to everyone, no need to be hungry!"

People passing by didn't know why, stopped a child and asked: "Liang Young Master, which Liang Young Master?"

"It's Liang Young Master Liang Qu, Liang Ashui!"
