Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Chapter 186 Meeting a Confucian Scholar on the Road

Mengyao pointed out the window awkwardly.

"I'll go~"

Ma Zhan and Guo Shanfeng were only concerned with avoiding the summer heat, so they didn't unload their horses and the small palace wasn't hidden.

At this moment, a young man dressed as a scholar was gently knocking on the carriage window, waiting anxiously for the response from the carriage owner.

After seeing Ma Zhan and Meng Yao get off the car, the scholar was stunned for a moment, then he bowed to them and said:

"I am Si Yongcai from Hanzhong, Hanshui Academy. I came here to study, and my junior sister suddenly fell ill.

Could you please take my carriage to take my junior sister to Lingbao County for medical treatment?"

Influenced by the internet and TV dramas in his previous life, Ma Zhan has a strong aversion to pale-faced scholars like Si Yongcai.

Characters who are hypocritical, two-faced, and who try to climb the social ladder often appear as this kind of white-faced scholar.

Seeing the sincere look on the face of the Confucian scholar, Ma Zhan couldn't help but smile evilly.

The Confucian scholars traveled to study, and the senior brothers brought their junior sisters with them. You may seem innocent, but you are actually an experienced person.

As soon as Mengyao saw Ma Zhan's expression, she knew what he was thinking.

So, she asked, "Excuse me, where is your junior sister now?"

Si Yongcai quickly replied, "It's just in front, under a locust tree."

Ma Zhan said first: "Take us to see it."

Meng Yao remained calm and pinched Ma Zhan lightly.

The meaning is to tell Ma Zhan not to act silly, because he is a Confucian disciple and he observes etiquette.

It would have been fine if Mengyao hadn't reminded him, but after this reminder, Ma Zhan started to think even more evilly.

The more polite a place is, the more exciting it is to break taboos.

When he saw the locust tree, Ma Zhan's evil heart was instantly purified.

I saw a girl of five or six years old, dressed like a scholar, lying on the ground.

Beside her, two little boys of the same age as her were anxiously waiting for their senior brother to return.

"Big Brother~"

A young scholar said anxiously in a baby voice:

"Senior Sister Xiaolan is having the hiccups."

Without even waiting for the girl to appear, Ma Zhan was certain that the scholar named Xiao Lan was suffering from symptoms of heatstroke.

Not only Xiaolan, the other two boys also had pale lips, which was also a sign of heatstroke.

Ma Zhan took a few steps forward, picked up the little girl and handed her to Mengyao.

Then he picked up the two little boys, one in each hand, and said to Si Yongcai:

"Hurry and get in the car."

Si Yongcai watched a teenage boy holding a boy of five or six years old in each hand and running towards the carriage.

This scene made him feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Si Yong was stunned for a moment before picking up the book box that fell on the ground, and followed Ma Zhan and Meng Yao, running towards the carriage.

As soon as they entered the small palace, the two little boys were stunned.

This is different from the carriage I rode before. This is clearly a palace.

Also, why do these three beautiful sisters want to take off my clothes?

This can't be the fairy's mansion in the story told by the old man from Sanzizhou.

Could these three beautiful sisters be man-eating foxes?

Brother, help me.

Si Yongcai chased to the carriage with a book box and looked at the lonely carriage.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his clothes, and said to the carriage:

"I'm being rude."

Si Yongcai carefully opened the door and entered the carriage. The scene before him made him fall into self-doubt.

"Am I ill too? Wasn't that the carriage I just got into?"

"Big Brother~"

A little boy's voice interrupted his brief absence of consciousness.

Si Yongcai saw that the masked woman had already taken off Junior Sister Xiaolan's coat and was fanning her gently.

Three beautiful women took off the clothes of their two junior brothers while laughing.

Si Yongcai thought to himself, "Not good."

He pulled out a ruler from his waist and shouted at them:

"Hey, you witch, let go of my junior brothers and sisters."

The four women turned their heads at the same time and looked at Si Yongcai with foolish eyes.

Just then, Ma Zhan came to the living room carrying a basin of water.

He glanced at Si Yongcai who was holding a ruler and pointing it at Mengyao and Sanmei.

He muttered "corrupt scholar" and ignored him.

Ma Zhan took out towels from the wooden basin and put one on Xiaolan's forehead. He gave the others to Sanmei and Mengyao, asking them to wipe the children's bodies.

Then he said, "Xiao Man, get a pot of cold water and give it to the three of them later."

Xiaoman agreed and walked towards the backyard of the small palace.

As she walked, she smiled sweetly at Si Yongcai.

That smile made Si Yongcai swallow nervously.

Ma Zhan walked up to Si Yongcai, who was frozen in place, stretched out two fingers and gently pushed away his ruler, saying:

"It's not your fault that you've become stupid from studying. You don't have any common sense at all, and you're even traveling with three children to study. You really deserve a beating."

Si Yongcai put away the ruler in embarrassment. He felt really embarrassed to be told that by a teenager.

He humbly asked, "Brother, what disease have my junior brothers and sisters contracted?"

"Heatstroke. Don't you feel hot traveling on this day?"

Si Yongcai bowed and said, "Re, Re, I know I was wrong.

"Excuse me, sir, are we... inside some magical instrument?"

'I went and brought a few people to the small palace in a hurry.

But judging from the scholar's dull appearance, he shouldn't be dangerous.

Even if he is pretending, with the Second Master here, he can crush him to death at any time.'

"This is the small palace, Daming Mansion..."

"Small palace?

The Zhu family’s small palace?

Is this the small palace that Lord Daming gave to those who discuss Taoism? "

Si Yongcai suddenly became excited.

Ma Zhan took a half step back cautiously, "Yes, what?"

Si Yongcai then piously performed the disciple's ceremony:

"Student Si Yongcai greets Junior Master."

Only then did Ma Zhan remember that he was a disciple of the Saint of the Heart, and that most of the Confucian scholars in the world were his descendants.

But this kid calls me Junior Uncle, so he is of a high generation.

Ma Zhan asked tentatively: "Who is your master?"

"Master, the Heart Saint's first disciple, Meng Jingxi."

Si Yongcai said respectfully.

The first disciple of the Heart Saint?

That is, he is the eldest disciple of my cheap master, my senior brother.

Ma Zhan pretended to scold.

"When I see my senior brother, I will definitely let him teach you a lesson. It's so dangerous to take your junior brothers and sisters on a study tour without knowing anything."

Si Yongcai humbly accepted the instruction and bowed, saying, "Uncle Junior Master, I promise to take good care of my fellow junior brothers and sisters."

Ma Zhan said impatiently, "Promise? What can you promise? You look so lazy and ignorant that you can't even take care of yourself, let alone three children..."

Faced with Ma Zhan's harsh scolding, Si Yongcai appeared more respectful, as if he agreed with Ma Zhan's evaluation of him from the bottom of his heart.

Si Yongcai's performance made Ma Zhan feel embarrassed to continue speaking.

Looking at the three children, Ma Zhan said:

“I’m going to Shuzhong and can take you to Hanzhong.

But you have to pay for it.”
