Zhang Xingyu pulled Aunt Zhang to the study room and told Jing Heguang about the misunderstanding from the rumor.
At the same time, Zhang Xingyu thought of the most direct reason: the wrong message was sent.
However, Jing Heguang saw the root cause behind it. In the final analysis, it was caused by Jing Heguang’s status change.
Because Jing Heguang became Juren, the villagers compared him with ordinary Juren masters, thus they made the initial wrong guess. It can’t even be called conjecture, just reasonable speculation!
There are relatively few people who still remain the same as before after they have money.
Jing Heguang smiled and said: “Xing’ger, let’s continue to open the stall tomorrow. If someone wants a lot of meat one day, just ask me to help deliver it.”
“How can that be done?!” Before Zhang Xingyu could say anything, Zhang Xingyu, aunt Zhang felt that it was not okay.
After Aunt Zhang retorted, she explained nonchalantly: “Heguang, you are a master Juren, how can you do that?”
Zhang Xingyu also felt bad: “I’ll tell them to come get it themselves, and just give them a small change!”
Not everyone is like Tie’ger but he is Zhang Xingyu’s friend. Usually if there is too much meat, he will ask whoever buys it to take it.
Jing Heguang smiled and said: “Listen to me. The reason why they spread the wrong words is because someone must have said it first.”
“Then why did the first person say that? It’s because I became a Juren. If I don’t show up, they will spread rumors about something later, that is more troublesome. What’s wrong with me delivering it? Is the meat I eat every day dirty?”
Zhang Xingyu’s eyes lit up and he looked at Jing Heguang with admiration, so he said: “I wonder why such rumors spread so far! It turns out that someone got the wrong idea!”
Aunt Zhang looked at Zhang Xingyu, and then at Jing Heguang, who was looking at Zhang Xingyu with a smile on his face, and suddenly felt that her face was a little hot.
She was still at the entrance of the yard, worried that Jing Heguang would change his mind…
However, looking at this now, Jing Heguang’s eyes were filled with Xing’ger!
This look, even in her more than forty years of life, she had never seen such a sticky look, as if love was about to overflow from his eyes!
Aunt Zhang felt that she was narrow-minded and was still seeing Jing Heguang with her impressions and perspectives of him from long ago.
This isn’t good!
This really isn’t good, Aunt Zhang shook her head wildly in her heart.
Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, and then said sheepishly: “I think Heguang’s idea is good. Auntie is too narrow-minded.”
After Aunt Zhang implicitly admitted her mistake, she used her experience to give the young couple advice: “Heguang can also help Xing’ger deliver the things to people’ door.”
“You are now a master Juren. It’s okay to be nice to your husband, but if you are still so nice to everyone and too approachable, people will not take you seriously! ”
The sense of distance is very important. This sense of distance also represents status. Status is a very useful thing to deal with a lot of rogue troubles.
Jing Heguang understood and said gratefully: “It’s as Auntie said! If Auntie didn’t say anything, I’m afraid I really wouldn’t notice it.”
Aunt Zhang smiled: “As long as you find it useful.”
Zhang Xingyu glanced at Aunt Zhang’s expression and smiled secretly in his heart.
He knew that once his Heguang took action, he would be able to easily defeat Aunt Zhang!
He turned around and sent Aunt Zhang home and stood at the gate of the yard again.
Zhang Xingyu asked Aunt Zhang with a smile: “Auntie, is Heguang very smart? Isn’t he quite good?!”
Aunt Zhang’s face became even hotter, but she is also a straightforward person and will admit her mistakes if she is wrong.
Therefore, Aunt Zhang seriously affirmed: “Heguang is very kind and smart. He immediately thought of the root of the matter!”
Some things feel natural once you do them.
Aunt Zhang still felt a little awkward about the first sentence, but after she said it, the advantages of Jing Heguang that she had been reluctant to affirm came out of her mouth!
“Heguang is worthy of a scholar! Look at those Tiedan, Zhuzi, and Goudan. They are not even a fraction as smart as Heguang!”
“The day Heguang came back, he even wiped the oil on your chin. He is a man who lives his life!”
“I heard that when Heguang got the banknote, he gave you the banknote directly. If a man is willing to give you all the money, he is happy to let you take care of him!”
“Heguang is so good. Xing’ger, you have to hurry up! Auntie isn’t well-educated but aunt Zhang also knows that the couple that trusts each other will definitely live a harmonious and beautiful life!”
Looking at Aunt Zhang who was beaming and praising Jing Heguang, Zhang Xingyu said: …
Isn’t this a big change? It only takes a quarter of an hour!
Heguang is too awesome!

Within two days of waiting, the planned opportunity to ‘help delivery’ has arrived!
Jing Heguang put on some old clothes and helped Zhang Xingyu deliver pork across two streets.
People who see Jing Heguang on the road: !!!
Isn’t it rumored that Xing’ger will stop killing pigs soon?!
Why is it that now not only Xing’ger has reopened the stall, but also his family Jing jieyuan has come to help deliver pork?!
Under the stunned gazes of the group of people, Jing Heguang spoke calmly to Zhang Xingyu beside him.
“Xing’ger, is it heavy? Why don’t you let me move both of them and you rest for a bit?”
Zhang Xingyu shook his head: “It’s not heavy. You’ve already taken the big one, how can the small one be heavy?”
After Zhang Xingyu finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.
It’s not like Jing Heguang didn’t know how strong he was, so why would he ask this?
Zhang Xingyu understood after secretly catching a glimpse of the expression of an uncle peeking at the roadside.
The ger who was peeking at them was filled with confusion: …
Jing Jieyuan doted on Xing’ger too much, right?
Just move something weighing ten catties(~13.2 lbs) and ask if it’s heavy?!
From this point of view, how could Jing Jieyuan dislike the crudeness of his husband’s job? He seems like he wishes he could help kill the pig!
Thinking about the man at home again…
No, he has to count Jing Jieyuan’s 1, 2, and 3 deeds for him when he gets home at night!
When they reached the corner, Jing Heguang blinked at Zhang Xingyu.
Zhang Xingyu saw it, his heart beating fast.
Why, he thinks this man is so cute!
After passing someone, Zhang Xingyu couldn’t help but quickly kissed Jing Heguang on the cheek.
After the kiss, Zhang Xingyu felt embarrassed, pretended that nothing happened, and walked to the door of the house where the meat was to be delivered in a serious manner.
Jing Heguang followed behind, feeling sweet in his heart.
Great, today is also a day to get a kiss!
The family members who saw Jing Heguang were also dumbfounded.
It turned out to be the meat that master Jieyuan sent to their family!
If that Goudan in the family eat this meat, he will definitely gain some literary knowledge, right?!
The family calmed down after they found that Jing Heguang was just standing at the door of their house smiling and not coming in.
Oh. It turns out that master Jieyuan didn’t want to deliver meat to their family, but just came to help his husband…
But anyway, master Jieyuan sent this meat, and it came from master jieyuan’s shop, so it must be good! Gotta let the kids eat more!
***
After dealing with the rumored incident, Jing Heguang went back home and immersed himself in reading.
After becoming a Juren, there is no need to linger in the academy every day like the original owner.
Jing Heguang borrowed a lot of books from the academy, studied them at home, and also collected a lot of questions. Then he went to the academy to seek advice from his teachers and scholars, then bought another batch of books.
The reason why Jing Heguang didn’t go to the academy was because he was afraid that becoming too smart would scare the teachers in the academy.
When he studies now, he is like a ruthless learning machine. He can remember any article or book firmly after reading it several times.
Zhang Xingyu only felt that Jing Heguang read books every day and read books every day, so thought of ways to replenish Jing Heguang’s health every day. For a period of time, hunting became more important than running a stall, which made his hunting skills improve by leaps and bounds.
Then, two days before leaving for the spring exam, Jing Heguang discovered that he had gained weight!
This fact was discovered by Zhao Mingtang and Liu Dao who came to see Jing Heguang off.
Seeing that there were only two people who came over, Jing Heguang thought of classmate Xiao Wang and asked with a smile: “Isn’t Sixing with you in the academy? Is he still busy reading? I will pass by the academy tomorrow to say goodbye and see how his studies is now.”
Liu Dao frowned and said: “He left a month ago! He said he wanted to adapt to the climate and environment of the capital.”
Zhao Mingtang was also a little puzzled. In his opinion, he could definitely get the most dedicated guidance along the way with Jing Heguang. Why did Wang Sixing go with Jing Heguang last time but left first this time.
Zhao Mingtang could only help explain: “Maybe Sixing is worried that the road is too far and may lead to accidents.”
However, Jing Heguang thought: This is wrong.
If he goes early, he will go early, but Wang Sixing didn’t mention it to him.
Even if he is not in the academy, the two of them are in the same place, and they have to go to the capital to participate in the examination. It is also necessary to inform him, right?
Jing Heguang himself happened to pass by the academy, so he didn’t write a letter to tell Wang Sixing. Who knew that he left first.
Jing Heguang thought about the last two times he went to the academy and also didn’t see Wang Sixing, he understood one thing: Wang Sixing was avoiding him.
Not everyone can stay with you until the end, even if you were once like-minded.
Jing Heguang figured it out and smiled at the two of them: “I know, it’s good to go early. The capital is far after all.”
Zhao Mingtang smiled awkwardly and raised his tea cup: “Don’t mention that. I’ll replace the wine with tea. I wish Heguang passes! And be on the list!”
Liu Dao also said sincerely: “I wish Heguang will be successful! Return home with glory !”
Jing Heguang raised his tea cup: “Thank you very much! I dare not say that I will pass but I’ll do my best.”
Two days later, Jing Heguang set out again with his luggage.
Before leaving, Jing Heguang said to Zhang Xingyu: “After this time, I won’t let you send me away again.”
Zhang Xingyu looked at his firm eyes and understood immediately.
—Jing Heguang didn’t go out for the imperial examination this time only but also went out to resolve an old grudge!
Zhang Xingyu’s eyes turned red immediately, and he stretched out his hands to hug Jing Heguang tightly: “Heguang, you must be careful! And remember that I am waiting for you to come home.”
