I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

Chapter 95: First Meeting with Hongli

Jia Cheng looked at the cowardly system in front of him with contempt in his heart.

This guy is becoming more and more incompetent now. Apart from being able to play a role in interpreting the "Flying Crane Technique" from the high-level martial arts world, the rest of the time he can only run to Lin Daiyu to flatter and curry favor with her.

With its colorful skin like a parrot, the system acts cute and funny to Lin Daiyu all day long, and its mouth is as sweet as honey.

Jia Cheng really couldn't stand this kind of behavior and found it extremely disgusting.

After checking Daiyu's pulse and putting half a pill of Dali Pill in her tea, Jia Cheng threw down the system and left Jia Min's yard.

Today was the day he went to Zhu Shi's house to study. Jia She packed everything early in the morning and prepared a beautiful carriage.

The car was covered with a brocade quilt, for he was afraid that his delicate son would be bumpy along the way.

When the time came, he led Jia Cheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, to Zhu Shi's house.

Zhu Shi lived a frugal and simple life, and demanded the same from his family members. However, when facing his young apprentice Jia Cheng, who had a special status and extraordinary background, he never forced him to change into plain clothes.

Not only that, every time after paying out salaries, Zhu Shi would take out some of his monthly allowance to buy high-quality fabrics and have his wife sew gorgeous and exquisite clothes for Jia Cheng.

He thought to himself: Qilin has been regarded as a beast of good fortune since ancient times and has been enthusiastically sought after by people.

Even in heaven, Qilin is pampered.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal to let Qilin wear better clothes and use more exquisite items.

What's more, Jia Cheng has great favors for the Zhu family.

Zhu Shi has always been thinking about how to use his own strength to try his best to give this little disciple more love and care.

Moreover, having the opportunity to treat a mythical beast like the Qilin well is a great blessing in itself!

Every time after spending time with Jia Cheng, Zhu Shi would be pleasantly surprised to find that his physical condition was becoming healthier and healthier.

This undoubtedly further confirms Jia Cheng's special identity as the auspicious Qilin beast.

However, Zhu Shi never revealed the magical qualities of Jia Cheng to the outside world. After all, he still understood the principle that "a man is innocent unless he possesses a treasure".

All of these people who hold high positions and great power are afraid of death. If they were aware of the magical qualities that Jia Cheng possessed, then Jia Cheng would most likely be in danger.

Today is the day that Jia Cheng comes to study. For his sake, Zhu Shi rejected the Fourth Prince Hongli's request to visit him and did not want him to meet Jia Cheng.

Zhu Shi felt that the royal children were cunning and his beloved disciple Jia Cheng was just a simple little auspicious animal, so it was better not to allow them to communicate.

However, Hongli was full of confusion as to why his teacher was determined not to let him visit his teacher at his home.

After all, the teacher had rejected him many times in the past few months, which made Pu Xinnan Hongli very distressed.

Does the teacher not like me anymore? Impossible! Hongli felt that he was a popular kid, and even the Queen couldn't resist his charm.

No one could resist the outstanding and intelligent Fourth Prince Hongli, except Zhu Shi.

In the past, Hongli only needed to use a little trick and disguise himself to easily sneak into Zhu Shi’s mansion and have fun, but now he has been repeatedly blocked.

Hongli was filled with curiosity and could not suppress his strong desire for knowledge. He wanted to find out who on earth could have made his highly respected teacher resolutely reject him.

Hongli led his personal eunuch Li Yu to hide near Zhu Shi's house. Li Yu looked worried: "Master! If you sneaked into Zhu Yushi's house like this and the prince knew about it, you will definitely be punished!"

Thinking of the stern and impartial Prince Yong, Li Yu could not help but tremble all over.

Hongli was naturally afraid of his father, but he was always bold and curious. At this moment, he was full of curiosity about who was visiting his teacher, so he put his fear behind him.

Not long after, a luxuriously decorated and eye-catching carriage slowly stopped in front of the Zhu residence. Seeing this, the servants at the door hurried forward to greet the visitor.

Then, a middle-aged man with a handsome face and bright clothes walked out of the car.

After he stood firmly on his feet, he reached out to lift the curtain and carefully took out a gorgeously dressed "red envelope" from the carriage.

Hongli narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the human-shaped jewelry stand intently, but he could do nothing about the middle-aged man who held the little boy tightly in his arms.

Hongli could only catch a glimpse of the back of a head with perfect contours.

Hongli didn't know this strange middle-aged man and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

He turned to look at Li Yu beside him. Li Yu said with a sad face: "Master, in my opinion, this man must be an extraordinary and wealthy person. But I really don't know him."

Hongli snorted and thought, isn't this obvious?

Everything that the man and the young child in his arms were wearing were exquisite and top-grade items, some of them were even accessories from the palace. Such attire must have been very valuable.

However, if they were wealthy businessmen, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to use the palace items so openly.

After Hongli pondered for a moment, he became even more curious.

Jia She has been silent for a long time and has not attended various banquets and events for many years. It is naturally rare for him to see the royal descendants. It is not surprising that Hongli did not recognize him.

At this moment, Hongli subconsciously lowered his head to examine his own clothes - a plain indigo gown, which was not only old-fashioned in color but also had no patterns or decorations. It looked extremely poor and shabby.

However, just now, the two people who entered the room were actually wearing gorgeous clothes and luxurious accessories on their heads. What’s more important is that they were not driven out by the teacher as imagined!

A strong feeling of jealousy suddenly surged in Hongli's heart.

You know, he has a special liking for bright and colorful clothing and exquisite, intricate, luxurious and bright decorations.

But because the teacher always advocated frugality, Hongli never dared to dress like this in front of the teacher.

Seeing that someone today so openly challenged his teacher's bottom line, yet was able to escape unscathed, Hongli couldn't help but feel sad.

Moreover, by observing the attitude of the doorman towards them, Hongli keenly realized that the doorman was quite familiar with these two people. It was obvious that these two people must have been here more than once.

So, Hongli slammed Li Yu beside him and ordered in a low voice: "Go and get some information quickly. Find out who the people who just entered are? What is their relationship with the teacher?"

Li Yu looked embarrassed, but under Hongli's urging, he had to bite the bullet and walk out of the corner. Then he took out a silver ingot and walked to the servant at the door to try to talk to him and get information.

Li Yu and the servant were acquaintances. He originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he could get some information about the person inside from him.

However, the reality went against his wishes. The servant would rather give up the money than reveal any secret.

Li Yu sighed helplessly, turned around and left with a look of frustration on his face.

On the other hand, Hongli was furious when he learned about this.

He rushed towards Zhu's house angrily, looking aggressive and ill-intentioned.

You know, Hongli has always been a reckless person.

On weekdays, apart from acting cute and pretending to be well-behaved in front of those respected elders, he always behaved like a prince towards other people, showing his arrogance and domineering nature.

The servants watched the Fourth Prince of Yongjun Mansion approaching the gate aggressively. They were terrified and dared not step forward to stop him. After all, the other party was a noble and incomparable son of a dragon and a grandson of a phoenix!

As servants, they were of low status and had no right to stop the prince.

However, despite their fear, they couldn't really just sit there and do nothing.

Because Lord Zhu Shi had already specifically instructed all the servants in the mansion that when Jia Cheng came to teach, no visitors or invitations would be accepted in the mansion, and no one could make an exception.

There is no doubt that this naturally includes the Fourth Prince Hongli.

Hongli never expected that he would be blocked by a small gatekeeper. He was immediately furious. As a high and mighty master, how could he have ever suffered such humiliation?

So he kicked the boy without hesitation and knocked him to the ground.

The farce at the door quickly attracted the attention of others, and someone immediately reported the situation to Zhu Shi.

Upon learning of Hongli's sudden arrival, Zhu Shi's face turned very ugly. He really couldn't understand why this Fourth Master would act so rashly.

Hongli completely ignored the looks and comments of others and rushed straight into the front yard. Then he rushed to Zhu Shi's study where he received guests like a gust of wind.

Along the way, Hongli's mind was full of dissatisfaction and questioning towards Zhu Shi, and he even planned to teach a lesson to the child who dared to take away his master's love.

But just as he was about to step into the study, he ran into Jia Cheng, a man with a stern face and extraordinary temperament.

When Jia Cheng's clear and moving eyes, as clear as autumn water, stared at him, Hongli was instantly deflated, and all the questions and anger he had prepared disappeared.

At this moment, Hongli's mind was blank, and what he wanted to say before had long been forgotten.

Hongli: Mother, I saw the little fairy boy.

When Jia Cheng saw Hongli for the first time, the first thing he noticed was his strong aura, and Jia Cheng was drooling with envy.

Hongli was shy for once, and approached Jia Cheng directly, "Teacher, I have seen this brother. Who is he from?"

Jia Cheng almost burst out laughing when he heard this line. Is Hongli possessed by Big-Faced Bao?

But he is not Lin Daiyu, who can only fleece the sheep madly and will not be always angry and cry.
