Chapter 285: The Ultimate Understanding of Dandy
Seeing that his young master was not interested, the servant didn't want to waste any more words with him, so he just sighed deeply and stood aside.
Zheng Yuanyuan suddenly felt his ears were much quieter, "Why don't you sit down and eat with us? Why do you let me eat alone?"
The servant waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is against taboo. How can a servant eat from the same pot as the master?"
In fact, Zheng Yuanyuan was just asking casually. If you don’t want to sit down, you don’t have to sit down.
Zheng Yuanyuan held his chin and said, "I was sick yesterday and didn't go to the academy. Today I went to the academy, but there were not many people there, and the teacher didn't want to teach. I wonder when Li Ke and the others will be released? If they don't come back, others will be even less willing to attend the class."
Zheng Yuanyuan is different from others. He is quite willing to attend classes because he has endless homework at home, so he might as well go to school.
At least, Guining Academy is also called the Danku Academy, and there is a reason for that. Everyone just fools the teacher every day, and the teacher never cares about them. He turns a blind eye, and the two sides live in peace.
"Master, do you still miss them? Without them in the school today, no one bullies you." The servant was a little puzzled. No one would want to be in the same school with people who bully him, right?
"What do you know? It seems that they are being sarcastic to me every day, but actually... I have never experienced those things like being in love with beautiful girls, playing polo, or taking a boat trip to enjoy the flowers. They are showing off to me in a sarcastic way, but I just think that it has broadened my horizons and is very fun." Zheng Yuanyuan was a very lonely child. At least he had no good friends since he was old enough to understand.
For him, listening to what the outside world is like is also a good way to relieve fatigue.
"Sir, what do you think is wrong with the Yan Gui Pavilion?" The servant couldn't help but ask about the hottest topic in Kyoto Prefecture in the past two days.
"What's the problem? I've heard many versions of the story, and I always feel that this matter is not as complicated as I imagined." Zheng Yuanyuan was about to continue speaking, but when he saw that the servant's expression was too confused, he couldn't help but swallow back what he was about to say.
"Forget it, forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Just at this moment, Anqiao and Qiufen came up with the pots, "Sir, enjoy your beef belly hot pot."
Then a few vegetarian dishes were served. Zheng Yuanyuan licked his dry lips and was about to start eating when a deep male voice came from behind him.
"Young Master, do you have a different opinion about Yan Gui Pavilion?" The speaker was Gu Qingyun. Ever since he heard that he and Li Ke were classmates, Gu Qingyun's occupational disease started to act up, and he couldn't help but want to get more clues from him.
Zheng Yuanyuan was still confused when the servant stepped forward and said, "You are from the Dali Temple, right? You have worked hard on the cases recently... My young master is just a young boy, how can he know about Yan Gui Pavilion or not?"
The servant seemed to be afraid that his young master would be involved in some inexplicable dispute, so he immediately protected the young master behind him.
I couldn't help but scold myself in my heart. What topic should I talk about? If the young master was involved in these strange disputes, the master would peel off his skin.
"It's okay, Xiaoliuzi, come here..." Zheng Yuanyuan had already seen the official uniforms of the Dali Temple, the department he most wanted to enter.
What a pity... With his current physical condition, he may have to wait until his next life to do scientific research.
"You are all from the Dali Temple, right? This... is the famous Shaoqing?" Zheng Yuanyuan greeted and nodded slightly.
Then he turned around and put a piece of tripe in the hot pot. While waiting for it to cook, Zheng Yuanyuan said, "All those imprisoned inside are playboys. If you say there are a few high-ranking officials, there are not many... The proportion of playboys is still large. You don't know because you haven't been to this kind of playboy school... Most of the playboys want to get the attention of other people. The more you call their behavior playboys, the more people will be attracted to them."
Zheng Yuanyuan looked at the piece of tripe with sharp eyes, dipped it in the sauce he had prepared, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.
"Whoohoo-"
It was hot and delicious, and many times more fragrant than his medicinal herbs.
Zheng Yuanyuan normally can't eat anything too spicy, so this hot pot is more to his liking.
It won't cause too much harm to the body, it smells good, and it's a taste he can accept.
After finally catching his breath, Zheng Yuanyuan continued, "According to my understanding, the playboys in there include those in my class, some older than me, and some younger than me. But there are more than 30 people from our academy alone. With such a group, it is hard for them to kill people. It is likely that they were fighting for the oiran that night. Since the playboys in our academy thought so, the other playboys would also think so... The death of the oiran was definitely not their intention. If the oiran is dead, what is the point of their fighting?"
Zheng Yuanyuan was quickly adding food into the pot with his chopsticks as he spoke. He really thought that this beef belly hotpot was delicious, to the extent that he wanted to eat it every day.
This was also the first time that Gu Qingyun and others heard the thoughts of someone who understood Wan Ku. Could they really eliminate suspicion in this way?
"How can you be sure that they think so?" Wu Huan felt that it would be too stupid for them to believe what the kid said.
Zheng Yuanyuan was not flustered at all. "They like to show off to me on weekdays. They either show off which courtesan is in which building, or show off what spicy food with a lot of oil and salt they have eaten, or show off the new horse bought by their grandfather and brothers, or show off that they have spent a lot of money on a young lady... These things they show off are their daily life. Why do they like to show off to me? It's because I am one of the few normal people in the academy. They like to see the dullness and disbelief in my eyes, and they like me to argue with them in a rage. They will feel comfortable..."
Wu Huan opened his mouth. No... Is there really someone so boring in this world? Is the heart of a dandy boy so boring?
"Of course, I'm not saying that all the dandies just want to show off and get everyone's attention on them. I'm just saying that, judging from the recent list of people locked up in there, none of the guests inside, at least those living upstairs, would really want to kill." Zheng Yuanyuan stuffed another piece of green bamboo shoots into his mouth. It was crunchy when he chewed it, and everyone couldn't help but look at him.
"What if it was a murder of passion?" Wu Huan thought.
