Chapter 215 Jiangbei's Hospitalization: One Shock After Another
Seeing this, Da Niu quickly led his Uncle Jiang into the crowd.
"Uncle Bu Yi, we were robbed when we came here!"
The already anxious Bu Yi was already going bald.
Caught off guard by a familiar voice, he looked up in fright and ran towards Da Niu.
Amidst the stunned and incredulous gazes of Jiang Bei, he pulled Da Niu up and down, inspecting him thoroughly.
Seeing that Da Niu was alright, Bu Yi's heart, which had been pounding in his throat, finally settled back into his stomach.
After all, this was the "younger brother" of his boss, Fat Constable, the "son" of the county magistrate's powerful connections, and also Dean Yu's personal disciple!
If anything goes wrong, he won't be able to escape being held accountable.
Bu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "Da Niu, you scared me to death. The world is in chaos now. When you go out, you should bring more skilled people with you."
After speaking, he glanced at Jiang Bei beside him.
Jiangbei: ...
He felt like he was being rejected...
Seeing that Bu Yi had misunderstood, Da Niu quickly introduced Jiang Bei to Bu Yi, "Uncle Bu Yi, this is my cousin, Jiang Bei. I'm taking him to the academy."
Upon listening, it turned out that the person was not a stranger, but a relative!
His attitude instantly changed 180 degrees. He warmly cupped his hands towards Jiang Bei, his face beaming with smiles: "Oh, it's Brother Jiang! I was so disrespectful just now!"
Jiang Bei watched as Bu Yi's dramatic change of expression almost caught him off guard.
He paused for a moment, then quickly returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Da Niu tugged at Bu Yi's wrist. "By the way, Uncle Bu Yi, the rice in these uncles and aunts' houses was stolen. Could it have been stolen by the same people who robbed me earlier?"
They look like refugees; didn't Lord Dou make any arrangements?"
Bu Yi frowned, and after thinking about it, he figured this was probably the only possibility.
After all, nowadays every household has some income, so theft is rare.
That leaves only the possibility mentioned by the expert.
Bu Yi nodded. "That's right, it should be them."
Whenever Lord Dou saw refugees, he would arrange work for them so that they could support themselves.
However, these people were lazy and cunning, unwilling to work, and only wanted to eat the relief meal distributed every day.
We adults don't support idlers, so we arranged for them to be kicked out, but we didn't expect them to come back.
As he spoke, he waved to the constables at the city gate and followed the direction Da Niu pointed to chase after the refugees fleeing the famine.
It's impossible to catch them and put them in jail.
After all, going to jail doesn't mean their dreams will come true and they'll work for free.
They'll definitely be thrown out of the territory. As long as they don't come to Pingyao and Pingding counties, they can go wherever they want.
Jiang Bei watched as the government officials chased after the man, and he began to re-evaluate his nephew, Da Niu.
His son is a genius; he remains calm in the face of adversity and has a clear, logical mind. He's definitely destined for great things.
After checking the sky, Da Niu quickly led Jiang Bei towards the North City Academy.
As soon as the two arrived at the academy gate, Jiang Bei saw two young men dressed in fine silks and satins running towards them.
He thought it was bullying at the academy. After all, even though he was the son of Jiang, a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, he couldn't escape being bullied at the academy.
His heart tightened, and he immediately stood in front of Da Niu with a fierce look in his eyes, protecting Da Niu behind him.
Da Niu was caught off guard and bumped into Jiang Bei's lower back, making his nose hurt.
Da Niu rubbed his nose, which had been bumped, and looked at his uncle's tall back with a puzzled expression. "Uncle, what happened to you?"
As he was about to go around to the front, Jiang Bei quickly pulled him back behind him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, and I won't let anyone bully you!"
Chen Dada and Sang Shang ran over and stopped in front of Jiang Bei, not understanding why.
Chen Dada looked at Jiang Bei with curiosity: "Who are you? We don't think we've seen you before?"
Jiang Bei puffed out his chest, looking somewhat wary: "Hmph, who I am is not important, what's important is what you want to do."
Let me tell you, don't think you can bully people just because you're dressed in fine silks and satins. My Da Niu is not someone to be trifled with!
Big Bull: ...
Chen Dada: ...
Sang Shang: ...
At this moment, Da Niu suddenly realized that his uncle had misunderstood.
He quickly tugged at Jiang Bei's sleeve, "Uncle, this is my classmate!"
Chen Dada and Sang Shang nodded quickly.
Sang Shang stepped forward with a beaming smile, "Boss, this man is your cousin!"
Upon hearing the address, Jiang Bei looked extremely embarrassed, his toes practically digging out a five-bedroom, one-living-room shape.
Da Niu quickly stepped out from behind Jiang Bei and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is my cousin, Jiang Bei!"
Upon hearing that he was a relative of Da Niu, the two quickly cupped their hands in greeting to Jiang Bei, saying, "Hello, Uncle Jiang!"
Jiang Bei's face flushed red and then paled. He quickly returned the greeting with a bow, his face full of apologetic smiles. "Greetings, both of you!"
For the first time, a wealthy person treated him with courtesy, which made him feel somewhat flattered.
It's so embarrassing, it's incredibly awkward.
After entering the academy, Chen Dada and Sang Shang chattered away with Da Niu. Once they arrived at the classroom, the two returned to the front row and sat up straight.
Jiangbei followed Da Niu to the last row.
Jiang Bei's eyes dimmed; sure enough, seating here was also assigned based on family background...
Da Niu walked to his seat, then took out his homework from the book box next to him and handed it to the teacher who was walking into the classroom.
After asking for leave, he then took Jiang Bei to find his master, Yu Mengmeng.
Jiangbei, who hadn't held out much hope, followed closely behind Da Niu.
Da Niu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The door creaked open, revealing a serious face—it was Dean Yu.
Da Niu quickly bowed and said, "Master! This is my cousin Jiang Bei, who has come to pay his respects to you."
Yu Mengmeng, who was originally serious, suddenly became all smiles when she saw Da Niu. She was as friendly and amiable as could be!
Jiangbei thought there would be some twists and turns, but who knew it would only take less than a cup of tea.
Dean Yu Mengmeng asked Da Niu to take him to the school.
He got into school without any difficulty!
The family didn't tell him that Dean Yu Mengmeng was Da Niu's mentor...
He was constantly on edge the whole way.
Unexpectedly, just based on Da Niu's words, he got into Chengbei Academy to study...
However, since he already had the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examinations), the two teachers at the school could not teach him, so Dean Yu personally instructed and answered his questions.
Throughout the journey, Jiang Bei's joyful spirit, which had flown away, lingered happily outside his body.
And so, the two returned to Da Niu's classroom during the teacher's break.
Sitting on the cushion, he was still dissatisfied with Da Niu sitting in the last row. "Da Niu, if you sit in the back, you can't hear the teacher imparting knowledge and answering questions clearly, can you?"
Da Niu shrugged, unconcerned. "It's alright. The teacher said this is a good spot, so it won't disturb my classmates!"
Then, he skillfully took a handful of tea leaves from the book box next to him and threw them into the tea set, and then laid a piece of oiled paper flat on the table.
Before long, the teacher came over with hot water and poured it into the teapot under Jiang Bei's uneasy gaze.
Just then, a rough male voice rang out, "I'm starving! I'm starving!"
A one-armed disabled soldier walked into the school carrying a large box on his back!
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the one-armed cripple who strode in, his face showing some anxiety: "Make way, the hot food is here!"
After he put down the box, the students swarmed around him!
