Chapter 159: Editorial
In the early morning, when the sky was bright, the carriage creaked and left the Guo family's mansion, carrying Nuan Nuan and Xue Qing to social studies, and Guo Huaichun, who heard the news, called Xue's mother. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Why are you still going to school?" he whispered, "Didn't you say that you guys..."
Xue Mu whispered Xue Qing's words to him: "So, she said that everything was as usual and went to study." β
Guo Huaichun was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "This is too despicable and shameless..." I mean mind-sharp, it's admirable. β
Xue Mu didn't speak, she only pinched her forehead while sitting.
Guo Huaichun cautiously asked, "Master Ge, what do you think?"
Xue Mu said: "I want to be an adult." β
What is this, Guo Huaichun was stunned.
Mother Xue thought, Xue Qing is no longer the little child who snuggled up to her and listened to her arrangements in everything, the child has grown up, she doesn't know what to do, Lord Du should come back quickly.
The sky is getting brighter, there are already people walking around on the street, many shops are opening their doors, the carriage is driving on the street, the curtain is lifted, and you can see Xue Qing and Nuan Nuan in it, which makes the people who recognize Xue Qing a little surprised.
Yesterday there was such a big incident, everyone pricked up their ears and stared and waited all night and did not see the Guo family being surrounded and suppressed, so is Xue Qing going to the government to sue or surrender to admit his mistake this morning? The people on the street looked over one after another, looking uneasy and afraid... Some people are just suspects, and the neighbors have also been implicated and arrested, and Xue Qing has directly angered the Beijing officials.
But there were also people who were not afraid, watching the carriage coming, and the woman squatting at the door cutting dried fish was busy greeting.
"Xue Qing, Xue Qing. She shouted.
Xue Qing leaned over and said, "Eldest sister, you know my name." β
The fish seller said: "Yes, you were in the limelight yesterday, and there are few people in Chang'an City who don't recognize you... Are you too drunk?"
Xue Qing smiled and waved his hand: "No, no." β
The woman asked, "Are you going to sue the judge or are you going to admit your mistake?"
Listening to the woman's question, everyone around them pricked up their ears and heard the young man laugh and say, "Go study." β
Study... The people around were stunned, at this time they could still go to study, although the carriage did not stop slowly passing by, and the woman hurriedly said, "Then don't you sue me?"
β.. I'm not in charge... It depends on the other party..."Xue Qing waved his hand and passed.
It depends on what the other party means? The people on the street watched the young man ride away in a car, stretching out his arms and swaying in a green shirt, as if even a corner of his sleeve revealed the bearing of a scholar.
"What did you say? Tarzan collapsed in front of him and did not change color? That's it, right?"
"This Young Master Xue is really bold. β
"What kind of audacity, children are not sensible.. Get carried away by beauty. β
"I also said goodbye, I didn't know how thick the sky was after reading a few books, and when the Guo family was arrested, let's see what he does. β
The people in the street watched the carriage go away, but the woman who sold the fish did not follow the discussion, but squatted down and continued to cut the fish, holding the knife in both hands, and a fish quickly turned into a thin slice under her knife.
"What to do... Cut the fish... What to do... Cut the fish..."
......
The sound of tuk tuk sounded on the mountain road, Xue Qing held the bamboo cane and walked slowly with a light point, and soon passed through the mountain gate, and the two doormen standing in front of the mountain gate looked at her with complicated expressions.
When he entered the social school, there were teenagers in front of him or behind him, either slowly or quickly, and when they saw him, they heard a low babbling.
"Xue Qing is here. β
"He's still here. β
"Xue Qing.."
There was a commotion in the mountains and forests, and countless eyes gathered, but unlike a few days ago, everyone did not enthusiastically surround them, but stood in place, and even some people retreated to avoid her approach.... Xue Qing didn't care, it's nothing, it's the same as the first time he came to social studies when he was the same Xue Qing, so what, she hasn't come to this day.
"Young Master Qingzi. Someone shouted.
Xue Qing looked up, it was not surprising that it was Le Ting, and before he saw him after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he beckoned and looked at Le Ting coming over: "Silver." β
Leting said: "I've been busy renovating the house these days, and I didn't bother looking for you. . . I'm just done today. As he spoke, he handed over a piece of silver wrapped in cloth.
Xue Qing took it and put it away with a smile, Le Ting said, "I'm going to be busy, I'll see you when I'm free." β
Three sentences and a bag of silver when they met, it looked perfunctory and ruthless, Xue Qing smiled and gave a salute.... He has limited time to study every day, and he must have a lot of homework to make up for these few days.
Xue Qing walked away, and the students watching around looked at Leting with complicated expressions, and coming to say hello to Xue Qing at this time was not just a matter of saying hello.
"Leting really dare. Someone admired.
There are also people who disdain: "What does he dare not do, dare to sell himself as a slave, dare to make money for the female musician of the Qinglou... As long as you give money, don't you dare to do anything.. Treated as a little man... It's really humiliating. β
The story of Leting's accompaniment for female prostitutes at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival has also spread throughout the social sciences, especially the fact that the other party gave money is a little difficult for the young people in Qinggao to accept, and they do not shy away from the unacceptable things, and the young man spoke loudly.
Leting stopped and said: "Selling myself as a slave and working as a violinist for a prostitute is to study, this is a righteous and bright thing, and I am relying on my own labor and not being a traitor and a traitor, why don't you dare?"
The students present were stunned when they didn't expect him to speak, and Leting rarely interacted with everyone because of his identity.
But he wasn't done.
β.... But you, after reading the book, don't even dare to say hello to a person who does righteous and bright things, how can you have such courage to set up your heart for heaven and earth, for the people, for the sake of the saints, and for the eternal peace? β
His voice was mellow and gentle, but when he said the last few words, especially the last few sentences, the student's face immediately turned red, as if he had been slapped in the face.
"A Xue Qing, you don't even dare to say hello, he has offended the big guy, but has he done something wrong?" Le Ting said again, "If he is not wrong, why should he be afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Did he do something wrong? His fiancΓ©e was chosen to be taken away, and he stepped forward to prevent him from staying. There's really nothing wrong with that.
Leting looked at them and shook his head: "Courage." He didn't say anything more and walked away slowly.
Courage.... Only these three words made the faces of the teenagers who heard it around turn red again, and they were a little dazed... yes, what about guts?
Zhang Liantang said: "Courage... Am I not as good as Leting?"
The companion beside him stretched out his hand to hold him, and said, "Brother Liantang, Leting, he can do whatever he wants, but we..." he shook his head, a little helpless in his eyes, they are all big families, there are many people in the family, and if one person does not act properly, it may affect the family.
Zhang Liantang stopped and said, "That's not what the sage said. He said and stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Fellow students, what are we studying for?"
This sudden remark made the teenagers stunned.
Zhang Liantang said: "For the sake of the imperial examination, for the sake of entering the ranks, for the sake of reason, or just for the sake of literacy, have you ever thought about what will happen when you encounter difficulties one day? Your behavior is refuted by your colleagues, your people ask you to uphold justice, and your doctrine is questioned by others, what will you do at that time?"
The other teenagers in the distance also gathered over, and they all looked thoughtful when they heard this.
Zhang Liantang said: "No matter what you plan to do at that time, I hope you don't have to be afraid first, we come to study today, we are all the children of the saints, and the children of the saints must set up their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. β
Young people love courage the most, and the sound of harmony is heard all around, and the mountains and forests in late autumn are steaming lively.
"What are you doing!" the teachers who were walking in the social studies noticed the gathering here and rushed over, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Liantang gave a salute and said, "Gentlemen, we are discussing why we are studying. β
Why do you read? Reading is always serious, and the teachers are slight.
Zhang Liantang looked around again and said, "Why are we studying?"
The surrounding teenagers were in an uproar: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." β
This is the words of the great Confucian Zhang Zai back then, and it is the teaching that the scholars of the world keep in mind, and the teachers will naturally not refute it, and it is always good for students to be willing to study hard.
"Okay, just remember." The instructors nodded, "But you have to study hard to do that." β
The bell rang when the words fell, and before the teachers could speak, Zhang Liantang had already walked quickly and said, "Let's go study." The teenagers scattered with a roar, heading towards different schools in the mountains and forests, leaving only these teachers standing in place, looking at each other a little inexplicably.
"These young men," they said, "it is better to gather together to discuss and study than to gather to make trouble with rumors... Sure enough, it's a good thing to do some more homework. So he laughed and dispersed.
.....
The bell rang after class, Xue Qing packed up the book and got up, seeing her walking by, some classmates hurriedly moved inward, as if they were afraid of being touched by her, Xue Qing didn't care, and went straight to Mr. Yan, and didn't see Mr. Yan's helpless eyes.... She didn't care when she saw it, she was a little surprised to see Guo Ziqian again when she returned to the cottage.
Yesterday, after the incident, Guo Ziqian, Guo Zi'an, and Guo Baoer were all locked up.
Guo Ziqian rubbed his nose and said, "I came out of the window... I said that you will send food to Brother Qingzi, and I don't worry about others. β
Xue Qing smiled and said thank you, and the two entered the room, Guo Ziqian covered the door, looking uneasy: "But, what should we do next?"
Xue Qing said: "The affairs of Zhang Bao's family have been sorted out. β
Zhang... Guo Ziqian was stunned, he was still thinking about Zhang Yu at this time.... "Brother Qingzi, it's sorted out, just the two of us... Others... Will they still come?"
If this happened, the other students would have been warned not to approach Xue Qing, let alone do things together... What's more, what we have to do is to go against the government.
Guo Ziqian's face turned pale, and he sighed, and said, "Brother, will they already tell their families..."
"You've stepped on my lamb crutch. β
Guo Ziqian was stunned, it was... What people.... Before he could take a quick look, Chu Minghui's voice had already come.
β.... Oops Nuan Nuan, you don't have to say this when you see us... Own. β
