Chapter 1744: Love Red Thread, Family Background Issue
Late spring.

Nishan Academy.

When Su Mingzhe saw Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai for the first time, he opened his Dharma Eyes out of curiosity, and then saw red lines shooting out from Liang Shanbo's wrist, one of which was tied to Zhu Yingtai.

Su Mingzhe is no stranger to this kind of red line:
"Is this - a red thread of love?"

……

"Big brother!"

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai had no idea what Su Mingzhe was thinking, so when they met, they bowed to him according to etiquette.

"Shanbo, Yingtai, accompany me to meet the headmaster first, and we brothers will talk in detail later!"

As the sworn brother, Su Mingzhe returned the gift and then took the two of them towards the office of the president of the academy.

At the same time, he did not forget to study the red thread between the two of them.

……

Although the Acacia Red Thread and the Matchmaker Red Thread are somewhat similar in function, they are not essentially the same.

The red thread of Yue Lao was originally made from the silk thread of the laurel tree on the Yin star.

Although the Acacia Red Thread is called the Red Thread, in fact, it is a kind of magical power based on the law.

……

When he saw someone using the red thread of lovesickness on Liang Shanbo, the person bound to the other end was Zhu Yingtai.

Su Mingzhe immediately guessed that all this was caused by Yue Lao.

After all, in the first episode of "Liang Zhu", Zhu Yingtai spoke nonsense in the Yue Lao Temple and criticized Yue Lao.

If Su Mingzhe was the matchmaker, he would definitely teach this naughty girl Zhu Yingtai a lesson.

……

Su Mingzhe lightly touched the red line with his finger and felt it.

The person who casts the Red Thread of Acacia is quite powerful and has the strength of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

After confirming the opponent's strength, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but smile.

At most in half a year, his cultivation would be able to reach the perfection of Daluo Jinxian.

By February or March next year, I will be able to break through to the level of Hunyuan Jinxian.

"Zhu Yingtai, don't worry, I will rescue you soon!"

……

"Mingzhe is here!"

When Wang Shiyu learned that Su Mingzhe had returned to the academy, he went out and went down the steps to greet him.

After Su Mingzhe's On the Love of Lotus, On the Humble Dwelling and Fu on Afang Palace became popular last year, Nishan Academy also became popular.

As the president of the academy, Wang Shiyu must have looked at Su Mingzhe, a hero, differently.

"teacher!"

Su Mingzhe, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai all performed the ceremony in a proper manner.

"You guys come in too."

When Wang Shiyu saw Su Mingzhe, he had thousands of words to express his gratitude, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

……

Everyone sat down in the study.

Wang Shiyu calmed down a little and began to ask Su Mingzhe about the problems he encountered in governing Wuxing County and how he handled them.

Su Mingzhe picked out some things that could be said and explained them in detail.

Things like the aristocratic families joining forces to create the winter plague must be kept secret.

After listening to Su Mingzhe's governance and problem-solving methods, Wang Shiyu couldn't help but admire him:

"Mingzhe, you are better than your teacher. When I was an official, if I had your ability, I would have been promoted to the rank of Duke and Minister by now."

Su Mingzhe immediately said modestly:

"Teacher, you are too kind. You are modest and noble-minded, and you are not affected by the secular world... I am a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers. I have worked recklessly and made my way through."

"Mingzhe, 'A modest gentleman is humble and self-disciplined'. This is the attitude of a person. However, you are just entering the officialdom now, so you should indeed have the attitude of 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger'! In this regard, I can't compare with you. When I first entered the officialdom..."

Wang Shiyu spoke earnestly and talked about some situations he encountered when he was an official and how he handled them, which ended up offending a large number of people.

At the end of his words, he warned Su Mingzhe not to forget his original intention.

Unconsciously.

Su Mingzhe sat in Wang Shiyu's study until noon.

Wang Shiyu took the opportunity to invite Su Mingzhe to his home for lunch.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were also invited.

…The Wang family has no servants.

In other words, Wang Shiyu arranged all his servants to work in the academy.

On weekdays, the housework of the Wang family is done by Wang Shiyu's wife and daughter.

Su Mingzhe and the other two followed Wang Shiyu to Wang's house, where they saw Wang Shiyu's wife and daughter setting the table for dinner.

"Master's wife!"

Su Mingzhe respected Wang Shiyu as a person, and he also respected Wang Shiyu's wife as well.

"Mingzhe is back!"

When Mrs. Wang saw Su Mingzhe and the other two coming, she immediately shouted towards the kitchen with a smile:

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Hui, come out quickly and see who's here."

Mrs. Wang’s surname is He. She was extremely beautiful when she was young, and even now, she is still a beautiful woman with charm.

Unfortunately, the He family was of ordinary origin and far inferior to Wang Shiyu's Taiyuan Wang family.

When the two got married and started a family, they did not receive recognition from their family. This was also the main reason why Wang Shiyu was targeted by the aristocratic families when he was an official.

……

Not long after, Wang Lan and Wang Hui came out and greeted Su Mingzhe politely when they saw him.

In Wuxing County, Su Mingzhe took Wang Yun's sister Wang Yanzhi as his concubine, and theoretically became a relative of the Wang family.

In terms of seniority, he is now the "brother-in-law" of Wang Lan and Wang Hui.

Although the two women did not dare to speak to Su Mingzhe as "sisters-in-law", they still felt a lot closer.

Soon, the dishes were set.

Everyone started to eat.

Su Mingzhe suddenly discovered that the way Wang Lan and Wang Hui looked at Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai was too intimate.

When he opened his Dharma Eyes and took a look, as expected, among the red lines shot out from Liang Shanbo's wrist, one was wrapped around Wang Lan's ankle.

Zhu Yingtai also had a lot of red strings tied around her ankles, one of which was entangled with Wang Hui.

"This matchmaker is really cruel!"

Su Mingzhe guessed that Yue Lao had vicious intentions after just a quick guess.

This is why Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were burdened with countless debts of love and entangled in various causes and consequences, and they were never destined to have a happy marriage.

……

"Forget it, I'm definitely not coveting the red thread on those two, I just can't bear to see other people being dragged down by them!"

After the meal, when Su Mingzhe said goodbye and left, he helped Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai to untie all the tangled red strings on their bodies.

As for the red thread of lovesickness, Su Mingzhe's magic power is not enough to suppress it for the time being and he can't untie it, so the two can only let them struggle for a while.

……

Spent three days at Nishan Academy.

Su Mingzhe reaped a lot of rewards. In addition to obtaining more than a dozen red strings from Liang Zhu, he also successfully obtained the list of graduating students of Nishan Academy from Wang Shiyu.

Nishan Academy has been in operation for more than ten years, and has graduated more than 300 students.

Among the graduates who are still alive, there are at least over a hundred working in government circles.

For Su Mingzhe, these are fellow disciples with whom he shares a deep bond.

At the critical moment, this kind of affection can definitely be of great use.

……

mid March.

Su Mingzhe returned to his hometown in Yuyao.

During dinner.

When Su's father rushed back from outside, he started nagging his son as soon as he saw him, as if he had a lot of resentment.

"Dad, did someone make you angry?"

Su Mingzhe was a little curious. In Yuyao today, who would dare to provoke the Su family?

"It has nothing to do with others. It's just your father who is narrow-minded."

Su's mother held her son back and told him not to interfere in her man's affairs.

After hearing what his wife said, Father Su immediately refused:

"Why am I narrow-minded? It's obviously those guys who are going too far!"

Father Su was so angry that he told the whole story.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe shook his head helplessly. It turned out that his family background and merchant status were the cause of trouble again!
