Chapter 723 - 722: Do I look like a gullible fool?
Gu Zikai’s face, usually so gentle and composed, suddenly became stiff. "My place is too small, just enough for a courtyard entrance, and there’s already a family of servants living there. I really can’t make room for you. Why don’t you stay at the inn for a few days? I’ll have someone help you look for a house to buy nearby?"
Ninth Master Lee waved his hand magnanimously, "That’s nothing, I don’t mind squeezing into a room with you. As for my Zhao Cai, he’s not picky at all and can squeeze in with your Lang Hao. The rest can leave two behind, just any room to sleep will do."
Gu Zikai could no longer maintain the smile on his face, and Lang Hao behind him couldn’t help but burst out, "Ninth Young Master, my master has the village examinations coming up in just a few months. He studies day and night, with the dedication of ’tying his hair to the beam and piercing his thigh with an awl’, and he can’t stand any disturbance. With so many people coming and going around you, if it disturbs my master’s studies, can you afford it?"
Ninth Master Lee’s face darkened, and he was actually blocked by a servant, which really displeased him.
But no matter how proud he was, after all, he had grown up with Gu Zikai since they were children. Now it was a critical moment for Gu Zikai; could he really ignore his needs and forcibly stay in the courtyard he had rented?
Even if he dared, the Gu Family’s servants would likely send word to his own father’s ears in no time, and by then, it was likely he wouldn’t even be able to stay in Jing County anymore.
Thinking this, Ninth Master Lee reluctantly said, "Forget it, I don’t fancy your little shabby courtyard anyway!"
He turned away, only to meet Wang Yongzhu’s seemingly smiling eyes, and suddenly remembered what he had just said.
Did he say little shabby courtyard?
