After Yang Hao helped his father sit down in the carriage, he heard Cui Chen's words and pondered for two seconds.""I'm just hiding here. Why do you want to charge me? I can charge you, but I'll put it on my account first!"
Cui Chen was stunned. He stopped waving the paper fan in his hand and looked at him seriously. He said in a slightly strange tone,
"I say, brother, do you really think this is human language? Do you think this young master's carriage is the boudoir of those young ladies in Pingkang Lane? Do you know that you and your son are still outside and can be beaten to death by those examinees? You're running for your life, so can you be more polite to this young master?”
"Do you think I want to stay here?" Yang Hao frowned. Is your shabby carriage as luxurious as my Ferghana Horse? If it wasn't for those examinees outside who were stupid from studying, do you think I would sit here normally? You wish!"
"From what you're saying, do you still think that the answers on your father's test paper are correct? Do you still think your father can take the lead in the county examination?”Cui Chen heard the implication and looked at him in astonishment,"
"Brother, hurry up and wake up. You're about to go to heaven and you're still thinking about good things?”
Yang Hao ignored him. He lifted the curtain slightly and looked outside the carriage. Under the rammed earth wall outside Chongxian Lane where the exam papers were pasted, more and more examinees gathered. Then, more and more examinees became indignant. They cursed in groups of three to five, as if they were going to settle scores with someone. They followed the crowd and strode towards Xi City.
"My life is over!" Yang Jingming also saw this scene and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that taking part in the county examination and writing a test paper would cause such a disaster. His left hand gently patted Yang Hao's shoulder and whispered,
"Yang Hao, every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its perpetrator. I was the one who wrote the paper, so even if those examinees want to settle the score, it should be on me. Even if I have to risk my old life, I will definitely not let them make things difficult for you. Later, I will rush out and lure them away.”
Yang Hao turned around and looked at his father. He raised his hand to press down on his rough left hand on his shoulder and said patiently," Don't worry, Father. I'll be there to support you even if the sky falls. Nothing will happen. We'll just hide here and not go anywhere. This is the safest place in Chang 'an City."”
"Really?" Yang Jingming looked at Cui Chen.
Cui Chen was so angry that his nose was about to spit fire. He said with a straight face,"I've already done my best by not chasing you two out of the car. Do you still want to stay here? Who do you think you are to me? Relatives?"
"Who was the one who said yesterday that he wanted to serve us like a slave?" Yang Hao asked. And who was the one who said,'I, Cui, have always been a man of my word. Since I've made a promise, I'll naturally keep it. A gentleman's word is a promise.' Wasn't it you?"
"Don't let this young master off. If you let this young master off again, this young master will be anxious with you!”"What did I say back then? Your father has to get the county examination's top score before it counts." Cui Chen said angrily.”
"You think I will lose?" Yang Hao looked at him.
"You can't win anyway." Cui Chen sneered.”
"Then let's ride a donkey and read a song.”Yang Hao lifted the curtain to observe the situation outside. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. Then, his smile became more and more unbridled. He turned to Cui Chen and said with a smile,
"Let me tell you something. At most, by noon today, the Imperial Court's attitude will definitely take a 180-degree turn. Just wait to serve me and my father like a cow or a horse in the future.”
"I believe you?" Cui Chen laughed.”
Yang Hao smiled and did not reply. Instead, he looked out of the carriage once more, at a middle-aged man in green robes who looked travel-worn and anxious.
The green-robed figure was covered in dust, as if he had traveled a long distance. At this moment, he was holding the reins and galloping on the Vermilion Bird Avenue. Under the astonished gazes of the passersby, he galloped all the way to Taiji Palace.
————
At this moment, outside the Savant's Restaurant in Xi City.
"Is Yang Jingming inside?"
"Call him out!"
More and more examinees blocked the entrance of the inn with angry faces and questioned the inn owner loudly.
"I say, all the literary stars who have descended to the mortal world, that examinee named Yang Jingming is really not in our inn. The father and son went to Chongxian Square early in the morning to watch today's results. If you don't believe me, you can dig three feet into my inn and search properly!”
The innkeeper first cupped his hands at the examinees with a bitter smile, then promised loudly with a righteous tone,
"But we have a deal first. If you find it, you can take my head. If you don't find it, you can pay me three feet of the ground.”
The angry examinees immediately dispersed. It was obvious that they believed what he said. Then, someone shouted," Yang Jingming must still be around Chongxian Square. Everyone, let's look for him together." Everyone once again strode in the direction of Chongxian Square.
"Hahahahaha!"
The inn owner looked at the angry examinees leaving and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He placed his hands behind his back and walked to the backyard of the inn with a face full of smiles. Looking at the Ferghana Horse, he gently raised his hand to stroke its snow-white fur and sighed,
"You're really a treasure that fell from the sky. That father and son are really stupid. They actually dared to bet on such a bet.”
