Before he knew it, the sun had set in the west, and the entire school hall was shrouded in the golden yellow of dusk, Liu Yu stopped explaining.

He spoke for less than two hours in the afternoon, which shows how strong Liu Yu's spirit is. At this time, when the school hall was out of school, Liu Yu came out of the school hall with a steady pace with his chest straight.

After a break and dinner, although Liu Yu no longer teaches, he still has to keep an eye on the students' compositions and give them a lot of guidance.

Most of the students come from far away, and they don't study here for a long time, so Liu Yu has to seize all the time.

As soon as Liu Yu left the school, he saw the scene of Qi Yanwu and Yang Jinshan's scholar Wu Feng fighting, so he shouted angrily.

In this school, there are all students who are eager to learn, they are all scholars, they know etiquette very well, and things like fights and brawls seem to have never happened in Liu Yu's impression.

Hearing the bell-like sound, Zhou Zhi hurriedly turned his head to look over, but seeing that Liu Yu's bronzed face was covered with frost, he walked closer and said coldly, "This is my Liu Family Academy, a pure place, I really don't know what to do." Leave quickly, if you dare to come here to make noise and fight again, the old man will ask the people from the government to arrest you! ”

The prestige of the Liu family in Li County is not second to none, but it is definitely the number one. Besides, although Liu Yu said that he was a scholar, some of his acquaintances were still officials in the court, and who dared not to give Liu Yu face to the small Lixian county government.

Liu Yu said this obviously because he didn't want to make a big deal about it, and it was not bad for Zhou Zhi and Yang Jinshan.

But Zhou Zhi secretly complained at this time.

I had long heard that Liu Yu was an eccentric person and would not accept students easily. But now the first side has left Liu Yu with the impression that he is stubborn and likes to fight, and it may be even more difficult to worship him as a teacher.

Of course, he has the letters of recommendation from Peng Ze and Wang Shu in his hand, and if he takes it out at this time, it is estimated that Liu Yu will not be able to say anything. The so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Liu Yu will definitely accept Zhou Zhi in the face of the two of them.

But with a letter of recommendation, in the final analysis, it still depends on the reputation of others, and Zhou Zhi is not a last resort, and he really doesn't want to do that. So Zhou Zhi immediately bowed deeply to Liu Yu and said, "Master Liu, the kid is here to learn from the teacher, and the kid's name is Zhou Zhi!" ”

Liu Yu was immediately stunned, looked Zhou Zhi up and down a few times, and saw that Zhou Zhi had a handsome face, although his figure was slightly thin, but his body exuded a scholarly atmosphere, and his speech was very regular, so he couldn't help but be silent for a while.

At this time, Yang Jinshan slowly got up from the ground, his body was covered with dust, but he didn't know, and said, "Master, my name is Yang Jinshan, and I also came here to learn from my teacher." But as soon as I arrived here, I met Zhou Zhi from my fellow villagers. This week, Zhi and I only spoke a few words, and insulted me for studying for ten years without achieving anything, like a stupid pig.

I argued with him for a few sentences, but he raised his hand to fight, and his scholar is a villain, relying on some martial arts, but even more daring, my scholar Wu Feng didn't say a word, no, he knocked Wu Feng to the ground!

Master, you know that the Four Books and the Five Classics are all said by the sages, and which sentence does not need to be understood by heart, and it is already very good to be able to see the way after ten years of hard work every day after ten years of study.

The nine-story platform starts from the soil, and I think that as long as I work tirelessly, I will have a solid foundation for studying for more time.

Master, did you say that people should not study if they are stupid? But I love to read! ”

I don't know when, Yang Jinshan suddenly became a performer, he seemed to feel very aggrieved when he spoke, and there were tears in his eyes.

Liu Yu just listened quietly, but his face slowly relaxed.

Sympathy for the weak is always the psychology of most people in this world, and Liu Yu, who has a strange temperament, is no exception. When Yang Jinshan finished speaking, Liu Yu asked casually, "Yang Jinshan, you have been studying for ten years, have you ever seen the county exam this year?" ”

"If I go back to my master, I have been studying for ten years, and on the order of my uncle, I took the county exam this year, and my ranking was not good, I was thirty-eighth!" Yang Jinshan said timidly.

After speaking, Yang Jinshan reached into his arms, took out a handkerchief with a large area and folded neatly, and slowly opened it pretending to cherish it very much, and inside was an envelope. Yang Jinshan held it in both hands and handed it to Liu Yu, and said, "Master, I have a letter here, please take a look!" ”

Liu Yu took it with a flat face, opened the envelope, took out a letter from it, and began to read it carefully.

That letter was naturally a letter of recommendation brought by Yang Jinshan.

This letter was written to Liu Yu by Yang Jinshan's uncle Yang Tong begging Wu Jing. In Baoding Mansion, especially in the place closer to Qingdu County, the famous teacher is Liu Yu from Li County. Although Yang Jinshan said that he didn't care about reading and could barely write a patchwork meaningless article, Yang Tong made up his mind to let Yang Jinshan study for the imperial examination, and pinned all his hopes for his juniors on Yang Jinshan.

Wu Jing accepted Yang Tong's six thousand taels of silver from white flowers, and naturally did things for Yang Tong. Although he was a small eunuch, he relied on Li Guang, the most powerful man in the court.

When Liu Yu was an official in the court, although he didn't look down on those eunuchs, he didn't offend Li Guang, and there was some interaction between the two.

Liu Yu finished reading the letter, his long eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "Since you are here to study, the old man will accept you, but the old man has a rule here, no matter how stupid you are, as long as you study hard." If you don't study hard, hum! No matter who recommended you to come, it would be useless, and the old man would also kick you out of my Liu Family Academy. ”

In the end, Liu Yu can be described as righteous and strict.

"Thank you!" Yang Jinshan's heart was ecstatic and almost jumped. But Yang Jinshan still tried his best to restrain himself, pretending to be in pain and slow in action, knelt down slowly, and said.

"That's it! Get up, go to the backyard with your scholar to find a room to live in, and go to the school to write in the evening! Liu Yu said.

Yang Jinshan immediately stood up and looked at his scholar Wu Feng. Wu Feng had already gotten up, following closely behind Yang Jinshan, and the two of them staggered towards the back.

As soon as he took two steps, Yang Jinshan suddenly turned around and said, "Teacher, in fact, this Zhou Zhi is the head of this year's county exam, he is very smart, and he can write a good article after just over a year of studying." Although he beat me just now, we are fellow villagers after all, so please ask the teacher to take him in! ”

His words sound well-intentioned, but everyone knows that Liu Yu attaches the most importance to the foundation, where will a person who has only been studying for more than a year have any foundation in his eyes? Yang Jinshan obviously had a knife hidden in his words.

"You don't need to worry about the teacher's affairs, go ahead!" Liu Yu said.

Yang Jinshan was beaten, but he could still speak for Zhou Zhi, which made Liu Yu feel a little good about Yang Jinshan. But he was extremely disgusted with Zhou Zhi, and then said to Zhou Zhi, "You go, the old man won't accept you, how can my Liu family's academy accept a person who likes to fight, and has no foundation, sells fame and reputation, and opportunist!" ”
