A man in a gray shirt with gray sideburns walked to the wooden table in the center of the teahouse and sat down, this person was the storyteller in the teahouse.

The storyteller opened the books on the table, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "In the last section, we said that there is a mountain in the north of Shengjing City, called Yuquan Mountain, and there is a academy on the mountain. In the sixteenth year of Xingyuan, it coincided with the Mengdong season, and the heavy snow fell for more than three days, which was really white and cold, and the snowflakes were as big as hands......"

……

Between the heaven and the earth, the white expanse, the snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, and the surroundings of Yuquan Mountain seemed to be pulled up into a white tent, covered in silver.

The backlog of snow on the mountain has reached the ankles.

In the midst of this heavy snowfall, a teenager braved the cold and difficulties and walked towards the top of the mountain on the snow.

When it was getting dark, he reached the top of the mountain, looked at the towering building in front of him, and looked up at the plaque above.

The four big characters of 'Wangru Academy' were reflected in the young man's pupils, and the young man's face was happy.

The little guy waiting outside the academy hurriedly greeted him with a shoulder, and the moment he saw the young man, he froze at the corner of his mouth with an arc that he wanted to achieve, glanced up and down, and asked, "Studying?" ”

Since the establishment of Wangru Academy, the reputation has already spread in Shengjing City, and many families in Shengjing City want to send their sons to study in the academy, in a vain attempt to be able to make progress again and again, and seek the opportunity to enter the Yanjing City Palace Examination.

But at the threshold of the academy, how can anyone say that they can enter?

On a cold winter day, the little guy reluctantly stretched out his hand, sniffed his nose, and stretched out his hand to the boy.

The young man froze in place, looked at the hand in front of him, thought about it, took out a purse from the placket of his chest, and put a grain of broken silver into the hand of the little girl.

"Hello~ You give me money, who is insulting?!" Having said that, the little guy put away the broken silver, looked impatient, and asked, "Where is the recommendation?" ”

"Recommendations?" The young man was stunned for a moment, and then said in distress: "No one told me to ask for this?" Didn't they ask for it before? ”

"Not before." The little guy snorted and said: "But that was when recruiting students, and now it has been half a year since the enrollment of students. ”

The young man was obviously a little anxious: "However, the academy only recruits students once every three years, so won't I have to wait for another three years?" ”

The little guy said: "That's no way, Mr. Wang is the most important to the rules, the Song family should know, that is one of the richest in Shengjing City, who dared to provoke the Song Gongzi in Shengjing City before, and now that he has entered the academy, he doesn't even dare to make a fart in front of Mr. Wang, and no one dares to go against Mr. Wang's will in the entire academy." ”

A gust of cold wind blew, blowing the young man's thin body to the ground, and the little girl couldn't bear to see him so sad, and kindly persuaded: "If it's as cold as today, go back quickly, wait for the next recruitment, and then come early." ”

After his kind persuasion, he hugged his arms and left, and in the wind, he suddenly heard a 'plop' sound behind him.

The little boy turned back and saw the young man kneeling in the snow without fear.

The little guy was startled and stepped forward to ask, "What are you doing here?" ”

The young man said with a firm expression: "My parents have spent a long time scraping together the tuition fees for my three years of study, and if I wait for another three years, I am afraid that it will hurt the heart of the second elder." ”

The little guy smacked his lips and said speechlessly: "Why are you bothering?" ”

The young man replied: "Since I have come up the mountain, there is no way back, and I have no intention of persuading me, even if I kneel to the old age of the wasteland, I will ask Mr. to accept me." ”

The north wind whistled like a sickle, under this harsh environment, no one would last long, and the little guy felt that the young man in front of him was no exception, so he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and went straight back to the academy to stay.

Half an hour passed......

An hour passed......

Two hours passed......

It wasn't until the sky had begun to darken, and the little servant saw that the young man was still kneeling in the snow, that a spirit stood up and hurried to report to Mr. Wang.

After a while, Wang Yanzhi came to the door, and saw the young man kneeling in the snow stunned, and was silent for a long time, he said, "I've seen you." ”

The boy looked up, his face was red from the winter wind.

Seeing the stunned look in the young man's eyes, Wang Yanzhi reminded: "In front of Tianxiang Building." At the end of the conversation, let the boy think for himself.

The young man's figure trembled, and his mind suddenly remembered the scene from a month ago.

The elder brother had no money to repay his debts in the gambling house, and his parents took out the family savings and asked him to go to the gambling house to redeem his brother, but he unexpectedly collided with people on the road, and there were many people, and he didn't even notice when the money bag on his body was lost.

When he stood up, he realized that in fact, he didn't think much about it at the time, just thinking that this was the last savings of his parents, and what he lost in his hands was his brother's life-saving money.

In a hurry, he saw a little girl staring at him timidly.

Even if you don't care about it, you even have to pull the little girl to lose money.

Along with the little girl, there was also an elderly grandfather, and during the dispute, the grandfather vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

At this time, the little girl cried and said that she had just seen the person who had hit him, stole his money bag and fled.

He subconsciously knew that he was wrong, he had just lost his money, and he saw the little girl's grandfather fall to the ground and not wake up, and he would definitely need a lot of medical expenses if he wanted to save it.

The elder brother is in a hurry to use the money, and he naturally can't afford to pay for this medical bill.

So, he relied on the account and wanted to leave with his legs.

The little girl didn't follow, holding his leg and not letting him go, he kicked the little girl in a hurry, broke free, and fled in a hurry.

At that time, this scene happened in front of Tianxianglou, for the young man's every move, Wang Yanzhi saw it clearly, and afterwards he gave the little girl two silver taels and took her grandfather to the hospital.

Wang Yanzhi sighed and said, "The gentleman is virtuous, and the villain is cherished; The gentleman is punished, and the villain is favored. Go back. ”

Those who are knowledgeable must have the style of a gentleman.

Junzi Huaide, what he thinks about is morality, the villain cherishes the soil, and all he sees in his eyes is a profitable place, but the young man does not hesitate to frame an innocent little girl for his own interests, and almost harms people's lives, and he does not repent afterwards and remedies, but chooses to escape, and his behavior is obviously contrary to the gentleman.

At that time, Wang Yanzhi would never allow such a person to appear in the academy.

The young man obviously understood what he was talking about, but seeing Wang Yanzhi turn around and want to leave, he dragged his body and knelt forward two steps in the heavy snow, and said: "Sir, I was born poor, and the money to save my life was suddenly stolen, and I was also anxious to come here, I know that my actions made Mr. sad, and felt that what I did was immoral, but I really repented afterwards, the Buddha said that turning back is the shore, and Confucius also said that people are not sages and sages, and knowing mistakes can improve greatly." ”
