The next day, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng went to private school together.

"Jiulang, it is estimated that the two of us will not be able to avoid the master's board today, are you afraid?" Li Tao glanced at Fan Changfeng with a grin.

"I'm afraid, I'm just scared to death! Aren't you afraid? When Fan Changfeng heard Li Tao ask, it seemed that the master's board had been dangling in front of him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Jiulang, I can tell you, we will each have our own boards, you are not allowed to replace me anymore!"

"But, Atau, you ......."

Li Tao interrupted Fan Changfeng's words: "Jiulang, I know you are good to me!" When you took the board for me, it was because I was weak. Now, I have practiced martial arts diligently with your nursing home, and I have become much stronger, and it will not be a big problem to be on the board! ”

Fan Changfeng didn't live or die.

Li Tao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Jiulang, after being beaten by the master's board, do you dare to skip school again in the future?" ”

"Why not?" Fan Changfeng said proudly.

Seeing that Li Tao didn't seem to believe it, Fan Changfeng cursed: "Whoever doesn't dare is a puppy!" ”

Li Tao sighed and said: "Jiulang, it's a pity that I can't accompany you, in the future, you will go to the county seat and meet something fun, don't forget to tell me when you come back!" ”

"What's the point of going to play alone, Atao, why don't you go, but it's because of your aunt?" Fan Changfeng was immediately anxious when he heard this.

"It's not because of A-Niang, it's because of you!"

"Because of me? When will I not let you go? Fan Changfeng was puzzled.

"The two of us went to skip school together, and the board wanted you to suffer alone, so if you were me, would you feel better? Rather than that, why don't I go! Li Tao pretended to be deep.

"Huh?" Fan Changfeng was speechless.

"Jiulang, we are good friends, good friends for life! Some things have to be experienced by themselves to grow up, and you don't want me to grow up for the rest of my life, do you? Li Tao sincerely persuaded.

"Well, let's try it! If not, you will not be allowed to be reckless in the future, and I will be punished! Fan Changfeng finally relented.

"Hey!" Li Taomei agreed with a smile, as if it was a great joy to be able to be on the board.

Sure enough, Li Tao expected it accurately, and their lies were easily exposed by Cheng Fuzi, and each of them was beaten with twenty boards.

Strange to say, the students, including Lu Yue'er and Wang Lihui, thought that they would hear the two howling like pigs, but except for the crackling sound of the board, they never heard a sound from the two.

The sharp-eyed Cheng Fuzi even found depressedly that at the moment of sitting down, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng actually looked at each other and smiled.

After going home from the private school, Li Tao practiced martial arts in the courtyard as usual.

"May I ask if Mrs. Li is at home?" With a knock on the door, a man's voice rang out outside the courtyard.

"Who will look for A-Niang? Why is this sound so familiar? Li Tao muttered and went over to open the courtyard door.

Seeing the person in front of him, Li Tao was stunned, the person who came turned out to be Cheng Dezhang!

"Husband...... Master, why are you here? Li Tao was a little flustered.

"Can your aunt be at home?" Cheng Dezhang looked at Li Tao with a majestic face.

Li Tao glanced back, Ah Niang was coming out of the house, and he immediately dispelled the idea of lying: "Ah Niang is at home, Master, please come in!" ”

"It's Master Cheng who is here, and the slave family is polite!" The Yuan family made a blessing to Cheng Dezhang.

"Mrs. Li is polite!" Cheng Dezhang hurriedly replied.

"I don't know if Master Cheng came to the Humble House ......," Yuan asked.

"Oh, I'm here for Ling Lang!" Cheng Dezhang explained his intention straightforwardly.

Li Tao sweated wildly when he heard this: The master who dared to love the Tang Dynasty also had a hobby of home visits.

Yuan Shi caught a glimpse of the expression on his son's face that was a little unnatural, and said to Cheng Dezhang quietly: "Master Cheng, please come to the house!" ”

While leading Cheng Dezhang into the house, Yuan Shi turned around and said, "Tao'er, didn't you just say that you want to review your homework with Jiulang?" Go for it! ”

"Huh? Revision schoolwork? Oh, yes! Right! Auntie, I'm going! Li Tao disappeared as if he had been amnesty.

Cheng Dezhang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Mrs. Li, do you know that Ling Lang has not come to the private school five times recently, but has gone to play elsewhere!" After Cheng Dezhang sat down, he went straight to the point and explained his intentions.

"Master Cheng, sit down for a while!" After that, Yuan Shi shouted outside the door: "Uncle Yue, serve tea to Master Cheng!" ”

When Pei Yue brought the tea, Yuan pointed to the side and said, "Uncle Yue, you can sit too!" ”

Cheng Dezhang only regarded the Yuan family as a suspect and did not speak.

"Master Cheng, don't hide it, he told me about Tao'er not going to the private school, and I agreed!"

Cheng Dezhang couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard Yuan's words, after so many years of being a private school teacher, it was the first time he heard that his parents had encouraged his son to skip school.

"Mrs. Lee...... The reason why playthings are demoralized...... You should understand, how can you mess around with his surname......" Cheng Dezhang felt that he couldn't speak.

Yuan Shi smiled: "Master Cheng, I am also a knowledgeable person, why don't I know what you said?" But I couldn't convince Tao'er, but let him convince me. So, I agree that he can decide whether to go to private school or not according to his own ideas! ”

Cheng Dezhang couldn't help but shake his head secretly: Since ancient times, there have been many mothers who have lost children, and what she said is not wrong at all.

Seeing Cheng Dezhang's stupid expression on his face, how could the Yuan family not know what he was thinking in his heart.

"Master Cheng, do you know how Tao'er persuaded me?" Yuan asked suddenly.

"Please give me advice!" To be honest, Cheng Dezhang really wanted to know how Li Tao quibbled.

"I asked Tao Er why I didn't go to private school, but Tao Er asked me why I wanted to study!"

Cheng Dezhang couldn't help but wonder: "Doesn't he know the truth of 'the dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the Tianzi Hall'?" Only by reading good books can you become famous and become an official in the future! ”

"I told him the same, and how do you suppose Tao'er answered me?"

"What does he say?"

"Tao Er said that scholars have not been suitable to be officials since ancient times!"

"Why is that?" Cheng Dezhang came to be interested.

Tao Er said that scholars have the talent of scribes, so they can guide the country and pretend to establish a world-famous career, but the complexity and changeability of officialdom are incompatible with the naïve and frank surnames of literati. After being frustrated in the officialdom of the literati, they cannot clearly understand themselves, and they will only be extremely angry. A true official must have the world in mind and make correct decisions after weighing the pros and cons, while literati often make a big fuss and make a big mistake because of small things; The real officials are scheming and good at change, and they are like fish in water in the officialdom, while the literati are often masterless, at a loss, and miss good opportunities in the panic; The real officials are decisive, while the literati are indecisive. To put it bluntly, literati only have a strong desire to govern the world, but no practical ability to govern the world. Therefore, he does not want to be a literati! ”
