"Don't think that you can be proud if you find a backer. Just wait, and the days to come will be better with you!"

Gao Zhanming couldn't help laughing.If Ren Daiwu hadn't provoked him first, how could he have fought back?It seems that the former Gao Zhanming was really miserably bullied.It's a pity that he is not the kind of master who will swallow his words now.If anyone dared to bully him recklessly, he would definitely retaliate with an eye for an eye!

After Gao Zhanming and Ren Daiwu left, Han Baiyue pushed Gao Huachong lightly with his arm in displeasure, and said, "Second Lord, I have already left."

Only then did Gao Huachong withdraw his gaze from that person, and snorted coldly.

Han Baiyue sneered and said, "I didn't expect that Gao Zhanming, after being abandoned by the second master, would get on the high branch of Gao Zihui so soon. The things that belong to a slut are indeed sluts. He learned that lesson and didn't know how to restrain himself. He even dared to go back to the school to obstruct the eyes of the second master, just now he provoked Dai Wu in public, it seems that he didn't take the second master seriously."

Gao Huachong cast a gloomy sideways glance at Han Baiyue.Han Baiyue shrank her neck in fear, and said unwillingly: "Did I say something wrong? Earlier, the second master was soft on him because of his old love, and he only let him go after beating him. If you listen to me, Please Zongzheng directly expel him from Zongxue, how dare he come to make things difficult for the Second Master's people?"

Gao Huachong said disdainfully: "Ren Daiwu is a born idiot, he can't say a word, he only knows how to fight fiercely. I don't need this kind of person."

Han Baiyue bit her lips in resentment, and said, "Did the second master soften his heart? For Gao Zhanming, the second master should not be cruel. If his evil heart is completely killed, he will definitely pester him again."

Gao Huachong glanced at him coldly: "When is it your turn to tell me what to do?"

Han Baiyue reluctantly fell silent.

Gao Huachong's attitude made Han Baiyue jealous and hated, so he just mistook the rice in the bowl for Gao Zhanming, and poked it viciously a few times with his chopsticks.However, there was one thing that puzzled Han Baiyue.In the past, Gao Zhanming didn't know how to argue with others, let alone take the initiative to reconcile with others. He was so proud that he didn't even want to say a word of explanation, so Han Baiyue was able to wipe him as black as coal so successfully.But when Gao Zhanming came back this time, he seemed to have changed his temper and started to win over the people around him.

Suddenly a trick came to Han Baiyue's mind, causing a sinister smile to appear on the corner of his mouth.Doesn't Gao Zhanming want to change?Then let him change and see what he can change into!

Chapter 3 Han Baiyue sneered: "Isn't it brother Jun Liang's specialty to let others down?"

At the end of the day's schoolwork in the evening, the disciples of Zongxue went back to their houses one after another.They all lived in the dormitory of the school, and their food and clothing were all funded by the Duke's Mansion. These children would only go home during festivals.

The dormitory is to the east of the school, because there are so many children, in order to accommodate these children, An Guogong specially set up a garden for them to live in.Bamboo was planted in the garden to raise cranes, so Duke An Guo named the garden "Crane Bamboo Garden".The Crane and Bamboo Garden is huge, with deep winding paths, green bamboo forests, and waterside pavilions. It is an extremely elegant place.The residences of the students are divided into several blocks by the scenery in the garden, and the residences are allocated according to the status of the students. The descendants of the Gao family are divided into one place, and the rest are arranged according to the size of their parents' official titles.

Several children walked on the autumn yellow road, and after passing the autumn yellow road, it was their residence.These people are not descendants of the Gao family, but they are all relatives of the Gao family's aunts and aunts, and their fathers have similar official positions, so their residences are all placed in Hongmeiyuan, and the relationship between these people is also very close.Among them are Ren Daiwu and Cai Ya who hit Gao Zhanming with a palm ball earlier.

Cai Ya said to Ren Daiwu: "Daiwu, you are too impulsive today, we hit Gao Zhanming, it was our fault, just ignore him, why did you provoke him again?"

Ren Daiwu said disdainfully: "So what if you provoke him, are you still afraid of him?"

Cai Ya said in a low voice: "It's not that I'm afraid of him...but he's also the Empress Dowager's direct nephew, the younger brother of Gao Huachong and Gao Tianwen."

Ren Daiwu said: "So what? Don't you see how Gao Zihui treated him? Zihui didn't take him seriously at all. When Zongzheng drove Gao Zhanming home, didn't Gao Tianwen dare to speak for him?" ?In the direct line of the Gao family, he is the only one who has no title to attack, worse than you and me. After leaving Zongxue, he is nothing. He can't even be an official. Could it be possible that he can still take part in the imperial examination and get a champion?"

Cai Ya sighed: "That's true. In fact, he is quite pitiful. His father and An Guogong, Shen Ninghou, and Xining Hou Mingming are sibling brothers. The four brothers of the queen mother are all enfeoffed as marquises. Only Gao Zhanming's father died too early to be enshrined as Duke."

Another disciple on the side said: "Then who can be blamed? It's not his own fault. I heard that his mother hired an expert to tell him a fortune, saying that he is a man with a hard life, it's not him His father was killed when he was born. Before my mother sent me to Zongxue, she told me to stay away from him, he is a lone star, and whoever gets next to him will definitely be in trouble." Speaking He stabbed Ren Daiwu for a while, "Hey, don't always get along with him, what if he gets angry and beats you up?"

A group of people burst into laughter.

Another person said: "He is really pitiful. I heard people say that his mother has almost sold all the fields and shops that the former emperor gave to their family, and she is almost on the verge of selling dowry to live on."

Cai Ya was surprised: "How could this be? Why is he also a direct descendant of the Gao family?"

The man said: "Why not? Their family has no title, no fief, and no income to eat. All these years, they have relied on the Empress Dowager and An Guogong to help them. His mother is the young lady of Wu'an Hou's family. She is a prodigal, and she can't handle it at all. The family business has to live like the other families in the Gao family. The candles burning in the house must be made of ambergris, and the gold threads on the clothes must be twisted with real gold. They've emptied their family. I didn't know about it until my cousin bought a couple of other shops in his house last year."

Cai Ya said: "That's too miserable."

One person said: "No wonder he always refuses to attend the banquets we hold. I still think he is aloof and withdrawn. It turns out that he is a poor ghost!"

Ren Daiwu sneered and said: "It's not just poor. The clothes he wore in the past few years were bought for him by the second master. Now that the second master is tired of playing with him, he is nothing. He is so lonely! Really Do you think his last name is Gao?"

Cai Yadao: "But he is still from the direct line of the Gao family after all, the Queen Mother and Duke An will not ignore their mother and child, right?"

The previous man said: "It doesn't matter how much it is in charge. The funds for pensions for them every year are directly allocated by the public, just to save face. The Queen Mother is in the palace, and An Guogong has to deal with important government affairs. Others The Marquis are not in the capital all the year round, who has the time to care for their mother and child? There are so many descendants in the Gao family, and there are dozens of his contemporaries in the direct line. I am afraid that the princes and princes may not remember such a nephew. The lives of their mother and son are not as good as those of the collateral families of the Gao family, what is the direct line, it’s just a nice thing to say.”

One person said with a smile: "When it comes to this, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth from the bottom of my heart. What's so great about someone with the surname Gao? Isn't it just the same surname as the current Empress Dowager? I've seen them unhappy for a long time. This is the queen mother's family, these years have not been riding on our heads and domineering, right? In fact, without a backer, wouldn't everyone have to fall into the situation like Gao Zhanming? Although Gao Zhanming and I have no grudges, but he is unlucky. I'm really happy in my heart, haha."

Cai Ya quickly covered his mouth, and made a gesture: "Shh, keep your voice down, let the Gao family hear, we're done!"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, at this moment, Gao Zhanming came out from the side of the winding path.

Those disciples who were talking behind their backs immediately fell silent, some looked away guiltily, and the smart ones immediately changed the topic and talked about other things.But Ren Daiwu just glared at Gao Zhanming arrogantly, as if it was no big deal even if he heard the words just now.

Gao Zhanming didn't seem to have heard their discussion at all, he greeted them with a smile, and passed them by.

When those disciples walked away, he couldn't help but sighed.

In fact, he heard a lot of what those people said just now.This Crane and Bamboo Garden covers an area of ​​hundreds of hectares, and the winding paths are deep and deep. Although he had already inquired about where his residence was before, he strayed off the road without paying attention and arrived here.Just now when he was taking a nap in the forest, he heard the conversation of those children from a distance, and he had no choice but to come out until those people approached.After listening to their conversation, he realized how embarrassing his identity was in this sect.

His background is obviously extremely high, comparable to Gao Hua's lofty Tian Wen and the others, but because he lost his father when he was young, he has fallen into such a poor situation.That's all.Just because he came from a tall family but had no backing, many people looked down upon him. Those people dared not disobey the up-and-coming Gao family children, so they vented their jealous anger on him, while the other direct descendants of the Gao family The disciples also thought he was poor, so they didn't have a good look at him.In such a predicament, how much can he be saved even if the amulet of the Gao family is attached to his body?He always heard people say that the real Gao Zhanming was so lofty and arrogant, but now he also felt some sympathy for him: He was afraid that he had to pretend to be arrogant and strong, so that people would be afraid of him. , dare not wantonly insult it!

Gao Zhanming managed to find the Xianglan Garden where he lived, and walked back.His residence is near Gao Tianwen and Gao Huachong.

Not long after Gao Zhanming entered the house, someone knocked on the door outside.He went out to open the door, only to see Gao Tianwen standing outside the door.

Holding a food box in his hand, Gao Tianwen said, "Jun Liang, I sent someone to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes that you like, and I brought them here for you to taste."

Gao Zhanming was about to thank him, but he saw Gao Huachong walking over from the winding path with Han Baiyue in his arms.When Gao Zhanming saw Han Baiyue, he couldn't help being startled: Han Baiyue is not a direct descendant of the Gao family, logically speaking, his residence should not be in this area.But after thinking about it, I understood: the relationship between Gao Huachong and Han Baiyue was already in full swing, everyone in this school knew everyone, and Gao Huachong took him with him wherever he went.

Seeing Gao Tianwen and Gao Zhanming standing at the door, Gao Huachong said with a sneer, "Cousin Ziyi and Cousin Junliang really have a deep brotherly relationship. They talked in the school during the day, and now they are still inseparable."

Gao Tianwen said: "I asked someone to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and I want to treat Jun Liang to eat them. Do you want Zihui and Yugui to taste some together?"

Han Baiyue said: "No need, brother Ziyi's heart for Jun Liang, how dare we get involved? I'm afraid that even Jun Liang won't appreciate this light, that will make brother Ziyi sad."

Gao Zhanming was puzzled and said, "Why am I not willing?"

Han Baiyue sneered: "Brother Jun Liang's forte is not letting others down?"

Gao Zhanming was startled, he didn't know where his words came from, and he didn't know how to answer them for a while.

Gao Tianwen said helplessly: "Yugui, why are you doing this? They are all relatives and brothers. The past grievances are in the past. Why do you still talk like this?"

Han Baiyue raised her eyebrows, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were very disdainful: "Brother Ziyi said that the past grievances are over, and since Jun Liang has already compensated us, I can only ignore the past—if I dare If I care about something, wouldn’t Jun Liang reprimand me in front of everyone, saying that I was in league with those gangsters who did evil? I can’t afford such a crime.”

After Gao Zhanming heard this, instead of being annoyed, he said with a smile: "I don't know if Brother Yu is also a dragon and a phoenix in Brother Yugui's heart, and he is amazing and beautiful?"

Han Baiyue was taken aback for a moment, showing obvious disdain, and sneered at Gao Zhanming's overreaching with his nostrils upturned.

When Gao Zhanming was recuperating in the mansion, he once asked Yinhe about the personnel affairs in Zongxue.He also found out about Han Baiyue and Gao Zhanming at that time.He also heard that Han Baiyue once did a very famous thing.A year ago, the professor set out a homework, and asked the students in the middle school to choose an article that they thought was the best in the past hundred years for analysis.Most of the children chose the articles of Confucian scholars in the previous dynasty, and many of them chose the articles of the great scholar Su Ting of the current dynasty, and those who were interested chose the articles of An Guogong or other Gao seniors to flatter.The most astonishing thing is that Han Baiyue actually selected a literary theory written by Gao Huachong when he was 14 years old, which he said was unsurpassed in the past 300 years, and praised Gao Huachong for his outstanding appearance and amazing talent.This flattery was so flattering, even though no one dared to tease Han Baiyue and Gao Huachong face to face afterwards, it was passed around as a joke in private for several months, and everyone knew about it.Although Yinhe had never heard Gao Zhanming talk about this matter, he heard this joke from the accompanying servant of another young master.

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "My foolish brother also has self-knowledge. I'm just a vulgar person. How dare I call him a dragon and a phoenix? Cousin Zihui has a great literary talent. In Brother Yugui's eyes, he is naturally amazing. How dare I compete with him?" On the same level? Similarly, today someone speaks disrespectfully to Yudi, and Yudi replies with sarcasm. How can Brother Yugui and that person be the same? Brother Yugui said such a thing, not to criticize Yudi, but to belittle himself."

Gao Tianwen gave Gao Zhanming a look of approval, while Gao Huachong just watched coldly from the side, frowning from time to time.

Han Baiyue was only annoyed by him for a moment, and then laughed again: "You have become more eloquent in the past few months since you were ill. Forget it, I won't show off your quick tongue. I have business looking for you."

Gao Zhanming couldn't help wondering: "What's the business? I would like to hear the details."

Han Baiyue said: "What you said earlier touched me a lot. Maybe we misunderstood you about the previous incident. I feel uneasy, so I want to find an opportunity for everyone to sit down and talk about it. Maybe there is a misunderstanding It will be resolved. Exactly one month later, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival. The second master has already told Ming Zongzheng that when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, the school will rest for three days. I think that the second master took care of us colleagues a lot in the past, and we also had to set up two neat banquet tables, and invite a few groups of singers and dancers to repay the second master. This is an opportunity, I wonder what brother Jun Liang thinks?"

Gao Zhanming didn't show his face, but he was shocked in his heart: Heh!Gao Huachong wants to invite the disciples of Quan Zongxue to go on a dragon boat ride on the Yu River?What a great deal!He hurriedly said: "Brother Yugui is absolutely right."

Han Baiyue chuckled lightly, and said: "Then it's settled. I'll take care of this matter. You can contribute more and prepare some gifts for the brothers in the whole school. I can also say a few good words for you at the banquet. Maybe it can resolve the misunderstanding of you. I don't know what you want?" Before Gao Zhanming could answer, Han Baiyue continued, "I also know that you have always been the most self-sufficient and don't like to get along with us dirty people. You I know about your disposition, but others may not know it clearly, so I have heard people gossip about you behind your back. If you can take this opportunity to show your sincerity, those gossips will surely disappear from now on. . I also think about you."

Gao Zhanming secretly laughed when he heard this.If he hadn't just heard from Cai Ya and the others how difficult his current family situation is, I'm afraid he would really think that Han Baiyue is a peacemaker!Han Baiyue said so many things, just to make him unable to refuse. If he can't offer a "sincere" gift, or if he makes an embarrassment at the banquet, it will actually make him feel arrogant. Offend more people.Han Baiyue's move was really ruthless, how did Gao Zhanming offend him?

Gao Zhanming thought for a moment, then agreed: "Brother Han is absolutely right, let's do it like this!"

Gao Tianwen anxiously wanted to speak at the side, but Han Baiyue preempted him: "Oh, by the way, please listen to Brother Yu to say something more. Brother Jun Liang will have to pay more attention to the ceremony at that time. , I'm afraid I lost my sincerity."

This sentence was to warn Gao Zhanming not to rely on Gao Tianwen.Gao Zhanming said with a relaxed smile: "That's natural. But this banquet is not only to repay the second master's care in the past, but also to resolve misunderstandings for Brother Yu. Besides, Brother Han usually works hard at school, so it is really a shame to bother Brother Han at this time. Make Yudi feel sorry for me. Why don't I let Yudi take care of the banquet, I don't know what Brother Han and Cousin Zihui think?"

When Gao Zhanming said this, everyone was stunned.Originally, Han Baiyue only knew that Gao Zhanming's family was poor, and wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass him by not being able to present a decent reconciliation gift, but Gao Zhanming volunteered to take over the matter of organizing the banquet.Gao Zhanming doesn't understand economic matters at all, and has always been ashamed to talk about money, so if he entrusts the banquet to him, is there any reason not to mess it up? !

Han Baiyue was overjoyed to see Gao Zhanming throwing a rock at her own foot, and immediately responded, "Since Brother Jun Liang has such intentions, it's naturally very good. Then it's a deal."

Gao Huachong and Gao Tianwen looked at Gao Zhanming in surprise.Gao Zhanming looked composed, as if he had a plan in mind.

Han Baiyue tugged at Gao Huachong's sleeves, and said softly, "Second Master, it's getting late and the wind is blowing, let's go inside quickly."

Gao Huachong frowned, took a deep look at Gao Zhanming, and turned to leave.

After Gao Huachong and Han Baiyue entered the room, Gao Tianwen said worriedly: "Jun Liang, if you have any difficulties, just tell me."

Gao Zhanming sighed, and said: "Cousin, didn't you hear what Han Baiyue said just now? If I use your hand, it will appear that I am not sincere."

Gao Tianwen said: "He is deliberately embarrassing you! You can just avoid him and go back. Why do you have to show your temper and accept such a thing?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Cousin, I'm not trying to show off. Han Baiyue is right, everyone in the school has misunderstood me, and I'm walking on thin ice here. If I can do this well, maybe people will look at me with admiration. If it’s not done well, the situation may not be worse than mine is now, my cousin said, right?”

Gao Tianwen was at a loss for words, and after a while he sighed heavily: "...it's hard for you."

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "Cousin, no matter what I say, I must thank you. If I have any difficulties, I will definitely discuss it with you."

Gao Tianwen nodded, took care of him after a few words of advice, and then went back to the house.
