At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

He Hongcheng seemed relieved, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Oh, what a pity. In that case, we won't bother you any longer. We'll come visit again when Mr. Qiu He returns. Brother Mao En, let's go, okay?"

Zhang Maoen seemed to be deaf to his urging and instead started chatting with Gu Damao.

"When I was in the academy, I had the honor of reading the writings of Mr. Qiu He's disciple. I wonder if this is Brother Damao's masterpiece?"

It was the first time that Gu Damao was complimented like this. He felt a little embarrassed and said with a blushing face:

"Brother Maoen's praise makes me feel ashamed! To be honest, that was my humble work..."

Zhang Maoen just asked casually, but he didn't expect that it would actually hit the mark. He couldn't help but look at Gu Damao seriously.

After a closer look, I was surprised to find that although Gu Damao's name was not very presentable, he had the demeanor of an elegant and handsome gentleman. His eyes were as deep as water, but they also contained a gleam of brilliance. His coarse linen clothes could not hide his spiritual aura.

It really is true that a good teacher produces good students!

In the entire Songyang Academy, there are only a handful of people with the same aura as Gu Changqing. Who would have thought that in such a remote place, they would meet someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Changqing?

Zhang Maoen couldn't help but think, if he also received personal training from Mr. Qiu He, wouldn't he be able to transform into a dragon when encountering wind and rain?!

By then, he might be able to achieve even greater success than his father!

Thinking of this, Zhang Maoen's face lit up and his mind instantly became sharper.

Since I can't meet Mr. Qiu He today, I might as well ask Brother Damao to bring him some benefits.

What should I give...

Seeing that Gu Da's sweater was really simple, Zhang Maoen came up with a plan and took off the purse from his waist and handed it to him.

"Brother Damao, please forgive me. This is not meant as alms. I was just in a hurry when I came here and forgot to prepare a gift. I don't know what you like, so I'll give you these. Please buy some things for you. I hope you don't mind."

He said this with such sincerity that it was hard to refuse.

Gu Damao hurriedly looked at Lin Qing and saw her waving at him and nodding to indicate that she understood.

"My master doesn't like money, and I've been influenced by him, so I don't have high expectations for material possessions. Please take it back. If you're interested, please write a good mock policy paper in the future."

Zhang Maoen suddenly felt that the purse in his hand was like a hot potato. He was so ashamed that his cheeks felt a little hot. He sincerely bowed and apologized.

"Sir, you are truly righteous. It is Mao En who is ignorant! I hope Brother Damao will not take it to heart!"

Du Shaoyou looked at his hypocritical appearance and felt so disgusted that he almost wanted to spit out something.

Gu Changqing quickly blocked his view and whispered, "Brother Shaoyou, do you still remember what I said just now?"

Du Shaoyou didn't understand.

"If we want to bring down the Jia family, we will definitely need the help of the powerful. He Hongcheng is not a man to be trusted, but Zhang Maoen might be a good candidate."

Du Shaoyou looked at the calm and composed Gu Changqing, and suddenly realized how childish he was. He quickly calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, we shouldn't be too unconventional."

So the two of them joined in the conversation and started chatting without saying anything.

He Hongcheng, who was standing by, saw them chattering endlessly, so he turned around and wanted to go to the car to wait.

When I walked to the stove, I suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance. I couldn't help but stop and look at the busy Lin Qing.

"Hey, Auntie, what are you doing? Why have I never smelled anything like this before? Did you put something in there that you shouldn't have?"
