Chapter 177: Hongyan Tower
As soon as I heard the "boss" Li Jing of the county school roar, the group of students who were surging outside the courtyard immediately stopped, turned around and looked at the senior Li Jing, waiting for the "boss" to speak.
"I mean it's right to set up a banquet for Shiwen, but not now, it's not too early at this moment, it's not yet time for lunch, everyone goes back to the study to read first, and at noon, it's not too late for us to go to the banquet......" After seeing that everyone was staring at him, senior Li Jing said everything that should be explained.
"Hey......" The county school students who thought they could rest for a morning today all sighed in unison after listening to the proposal of the "boss", and after lamenting, they walked towards the study one by one dejectedly.
So, Lu Yu, who was also a member of the county school students, also followed the group of depressed classmates and returned to the study and began to "care about it".
Taking advantage of the break between classes, Lu Yu exchanged names with more than 30 of his classmates, and cultivated feelings by the way.
However, at this time, Lu Yu found that the attitude of today's classmates towards himself is completely different from yesterday, it is simply a 180-degree reversal, the county school students of the rich class who ignored themselves yesterday lack great enthusiasm for themselves today, and the grassroots county school students who were still very enthusiastic about themselves yesterday have become much colder towards themselves today.
Regarding the sudden change in everyone's attitude towards themselves, Lu Yu, who has a flexible brain, quickly figured it out, and he knew that due to his "explosive performance" in the county school yesterday, today, every student in the county school should know his identity as the third son of Lu Longyan, the richest man in Guozhou.
As the saying goes, things gather people in groups, since the county school students know that they are from wealthy families, then the county school students who are similar to their own rich class will naturally have a good impression of themselves, and then change their indifferent attitude towards themselves and become close to themselves.
However, for those county school students who were born from the grassroots and whose families have been oppressed by the wealthy class all year round, it is natural that they will not continue to be close to themselves from the oppressive class, and it is reasonable to be alienated from them.
What's more, those county school students who were born at the grassroots level, in the reality of no money and no power, must rely on real talent to get ahead, but in the face of the sudden appearance of themselves, who overwhelmed them in talent, they naturally felt very unhappy, after all, they forcibly took away a place in the state examination from them, which ......
In the end, Lu Yu put himself in his shoes and thought that if he was also a member of the grassroots county school students, and suddenly a "scholar" appeared and snatched away the opportunity that might have belonged to him, would he also reject that "scholar" like them?
As a result, Lu Yu came up with a positive answer and realized that it is an individual who will reject the "scholar", this is human nature, no matter who it is, it is not exempt from vulgarity.
After figuring out all the tricks, Lu Yu was relieved, he understood that he couldn't make everyone like it, after all, the "cake" is so big, one more person will have one more "mouth", and no one wants to let the "piece" that he has become smaller, and no one will like a newcomer who comes to share his "cake".
Lu Yu, who no longer continued to worry about whether others liked him or not, began to pay attention to the curriculum planning of the county school.
After spending the morning here, he found that there were two classes in the morning, each of which lasted about an hour, and in the middle of the two classes, there was a quarter of an hour of rest and toilet time.
The first lesson was taught by the old scholar Zhou Ji, about the "mysteries" in the "Four Books and Five Classics", and how to expound these "mysteries" in the state examination to improve the probability of being lifted.
The second class was taught by Li Fu, a county scholar, who talked about the most important way to write argumentative essays in the imperial examination today.
Because of the four subjects of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, two subjects of argumentative essays were examined, so when talking about the high-score writing of argumentative essays, Li Fu, a county scholar, had to reiterate the importance of argumentative essays every three or five minutes.
Finally, after the morning class, the teachers and students in the county school "killed" the restaurant only one street away from the south gate of the county school - Hongyan Building, and the second floor of Hongyan Building was completely wrapped.
Although the Hongyan Building is not the largest restaurant on the Boundless Peak, because it is the closest to the county school, it is only separated by a narrow street five or six meters wide, so in the county school, whether it is teachers or students, when they are "lonely", they will come to this Hongyan Building for recreation.
Hongyan Building, is a serious restaurant, not the Green Building, here, there is no lady to accompany the wine, in the Hongyan Building, in addition to eating and drinking, the only service that can be enjoyed is to listen to the story.
And the storytellers here are the grandfather and grandson: the "grandfather" is an old scholar about fifty years old, dressed in a cyan Confucian suit, and his face is full of pleats; And the "grandson" is actually a granddaughter, she is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl with pigtails, and she is still alive.
When telling a story, the "grandfather" is mainly stating the story flow, and the "granddaughter" is amazing, she can simulate all the conversations between all the characters in the story.
Whether it is the gossip between men, women and children, or the politeness between officials and monks, the little girl can use her superb ventriloquist skills to simulate it vividly, and even, when simulating the dialogue between different characters, the little girl's face will also make corresponding expressions, obviously, this little girl is a "talent".
Because the grandfather and grandson were "skilled" in storytelling, Lu Yu withdrew his mind from the banquet after only one round of toasting, and immersed himself in the story told by the grandfather and grandson.
At this time, the grandfather and grandson are telling the story of the battle between Song and Liao more than a hundred years ago, under the simulation of the little girl's incomparable ventriloquism, a large number of "historical celebrities" such as the then emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng and the then prime minister Kou Zhun seemed to be alive, "repeating" the historical events that happened at that time, and Lu Yu, who listened to it, gradually danced with his eyebrows.
Of course, except for Lu Yu, the other people in the banquet were also listening to the story, but they were not as attentive as Lu Yu.
Suddenly, a county school student who had drunk too much was dizzy, he actually blushed his old face, stalked his neck, and squirted: "Back then, Emperor Zhenzong shouldn't have signed an alliance with the ghost Khitan of Nalaoshzi, we are dignified and don't owe anything to that ghost Khitan, why ......?"
