Apart from Lu Sanlang, the other 23 nominal students shouted one after another, saying that they were willing to stay in the Imperial College to accompany Zhang Shou through the night, and more than half of them actually did. However, Zhang Shou could see at a glance that many of them were just agreeing for show, but in fact their eyes were rolling around, and it was obvious that they were not serious.
Therefore, he did not agree, but directly waved the weapon of filial piety and drove the man away.
"You've been away from home for so many days, shouldn't you hurry back to greet your elders so they don't worry? Come back later if you want, and go back now!"
Because they had lived in the mountains for too long, Zhang Chen and his group were eager to return home, but Zhang Chen didn't want Lu Sanlang to pretend to be motivated, so he responded symbolically. Now that Zhang Shou said so, he shut up. He didn't fight for it, so others would not make things worse.
Seeing that most people were finally willing to leave, Zhang Shou just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked around, he found that Zhu Ying and Wu were gone, and he was immediately shocked. Even if she was angry because he talked to himself, it was unlikely that Zhu Ying would leave without saying goodbye, not to mention that it didn't make sense that even Wu was missing!
Just when he was wondering, he saw Zhu Ying and Wu coming back, and behind them was the dark-faced man in black clothes he had seen before. When he got closer, before he could ask what was going on, he heard Zhu Ying say bluntly: "Ah Shou, this is Xu Heizi, the Supervisor of the Shengqian Hall... No, Xu Heida. You want to live here, let him arrange a room for you!"
At this point, the eldest daughter said to the bewildered Wu: "Aunt Wu, let's go back and send someone to pick up Ah Shou tomorrow!"
As she spoke, she began to tell Zhang Chen and the others who were not going to stay here to leave quickly and not get in the way. After she half-dragged and half-tugged Wu out for several steps, she turned around and spoke loudly.
"A Shou, I'm going to the palace tomorrow. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll tell the emperor!"
Since Zhang Shou has made up his mind, she will give him her full support. She can still do this little favor!
Zhang Shou did not answer and smiled as he watched Zhu Ying drag the helpless Wu away first. The dandies also hurriedly slipped away. When he turned his head and saw Xu Heida's face was already darker than the night, he said lightly: "Xu Jiancheng, what do you think, should I stay in the dormitory or the Jiuzhang Hall tonight?"
"Dr. Zhang, you are asking even though you already know the answer!" Xu Heidao snorted in annoyance, and then said sternly, "Just ask Lu Sanlang and you will know. Many dormitories in the Imperial College have been in disrepair for a long time, and many students can only rent houses outside. Where can I find a dormitories in the middle of the night? Jiuzhang Hall has been vacant for many years! You don't live in such a wealthy mansion. Are you doing this for show?"
"That's right, it's for show. If it wasn't for show, this Jiuzhang Hall might still be in such a remote corner, in such a dilapidated state. They even dared to secretly take down the plaque of Emperor Taizu and hide it. This is really a strange thing." Zhang Shou said, then looked at Lu Sanlang and said with a smile, "Lu Sanlang, how about we stay in Jiuzhang Hall tonight?"
Lu Sanlang bared his teeth at Xu Heida, then laughed and said, "Of course that's good! It would be best if we could invite Master Ge to the court tomorrow to cry and let people know that the Imperial College even took down the plaque of the Jiuzhang Hall!"
