Chapter 8: Self-inflicted humiliation
As soon as Yun Yi's words fell, the discussion on the scene came to an abrupt end, and then a greater uproar broke out.
"Hahaha, this kid shouldn't have something wrong with his brain, right? actually rejected Mr. Zhuang in public. ”
"What a guy who doesn't know how to lift, just a white body, Mr. Zhuang wants to take him as an apprentice, but he dares to refuse."
"That Jiang Xue, it shouldn't be that he copied it from some ancient book, right? Otherwise, why don't you dare to worship Mr. Zhuang as a teacher? ”
"I only recognize Ye Gongzi, the first genius in Linjiang County, and ask Mr. Zhuang to accept Ye Gongzi as an apprentice."
……
At first, hearing that Yunyi rejected Zhuang Jing'an, Ye Liangchen was still happy in his heart.
But when he heard the crowd talking, his face instantly darkened.
You cheap embryos, belittle Yunyi, what are you doing with your son?
Zhuang Jingan didn't expect that Yunyi would refuse in public.
However, when he saw that Yun Yi's eyes were clear and he didn't seem to be deliberately manipulating, he knew that what he said was true.
So he smiled and said to Yunyi: "This is the old man's abruptness, please don't blame Xiaoyou." ”
"The students don't dare, Mr. Xie understands."
Yun Yi thought that he had refuted Zhuang Jing'an's face, and he might usher in a snub.
Unexpectedly, instead of blaming, Zhuang Jingan apologized to himself.
After being slightly stunned, Yun Yi bowed deeply towards Zhuang Jing'an.
After agreeing on three days, after coming to send the grass to Zhuang Jing'an, he turned his head and walked towards the high platform.
After getting off the high platform, Yun Yi hurriedly left Luming Academy in the eyes of everyone who were either jealous or envious.
"Well, I'm not mistaken! As long as Ye Gongzi takes the stage, this poetry meeting will definitely end early! ”
"Brother Song, I said Yunyi, that kid, why did he run away just now!"
"Ye Gongzi is really powerful, and he deserves to be the youngest talent in our Linjiang County."
……
Yun Yi had just left, and a few students hurried outside.
As soon as a few people entered the door, they saw Ye Liangchen standing on a high platform, and Zhuang Jingan next to him was admiring the paintings with a smile on his face.
So he preconceived that Ye Liangchen had already won the first place, so he deliberately praised him loudly, hoping to get the favor of the Ye family's son.
When everyone in the audience heard the discussion, they all looked at a few people with strange faces, and some even couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Could these people be Yun Yi, who deliberately invited Ye Gongzi to disgust him?
When a few people entered the door, Ye Liangchen was about to retire to Zhuang Jing'an.
Suddenly I heard the conversation of several people, and I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood in anger.
Zhuang Jing'an, who was admiring the paintings, was also swept away by the high-minded talk of several people, frowned and glanced at the audience, turned around and walked towards the rear.
"The student sends off Mr. Zhuang."
Ye Liangchen hurriedly bowed down to see him off, and when Zhuang Jing'an walked away, he walked off the high platform quickly with a flushed face.
"Congratulations to Ye Gongzi for winning the first place."
"Ye Gongzi deserves to be the youngest talent in our Linjiang County."
"I waited too late, and I couldn't see Ye Gongzi's demeanor in person, so please don't blame Ye Gongzi!"
……
Ye Liangchen has not heard many of these compliments on weekdays, but at this time, he feels very sarcastic.
I saw him snort coldly, and without explaining, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the academy.
"This ...... Are we saying the wrong thing? ”
"Maybe Ye Gongzi blames us for coming too late!"
"It's also our fault, Yunyi's nerds can arrive early, why did we miss it!"
……
"Do you know Yunyi?"
Ye Liangchen, who had already walked to the door, didn't hold back after hearing Yun Yi's name, and turned his head to ask those people.
"Of course I know, cloud nerd! That's what everyone in our private school calls him. ”
Seeing that Ye Liangchen actually turned around to talk to them, several people instantly became excited, and they didn't notice at all that several classmates not far away were frantically glancing at them.
"Yunyi is a nerd?"
When Ye Liangchen heard this, he asked coldly.
If Yun Yi is a nerd, then what is he Ye Liangchen?
Fools?
"That's right! Our Master Liu said that Yun Yi is a nerd with no ink and great ambitions. ”
Seeing that Ye Liangchen didn't believe it, the man hurriedly moved Master Liu out as well, and continued to belittle Yunyi hard.
"That is, a person who has not taken the children's examination for many years is not a nerd?"
The people next to him also hurriedly agreed, not noticing at all that the classmates who had just made eyes had quietly slipped away towards the gate.
This man is a big loss today!
If you let Master Liu know, maybe how will he punish himself and others!
Today's events must not be known to Master Liu!
Several people glanced at each other, and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
"I think you Liu Fuzi are complete fools, otherwise how would you teach you fools!"
Ye Liangchen felt that he must have something wrong with his brain, so he would stop looking for humiliation.
If he didn't know that these people didn't dare to offend him, he even wondered if these people were deliberately arranged by Yunyi to disgust him.
When those people heard Ye Liangchen's words, they couldn't help but be stunned.
What's the situation?
Aren't he and others patting him on the back?
Why did he curse?
was scolded in public, the key is the people they can't afford to offend, and for a while, several people can't wait to get into the cracks in an orderly way.
Although they didn't understand why Ye Liangchen insulted them, they thought that it must have something to do with that Yunyi, so they all resented Yunyi in their hearts.
Yun Yi didn't know that he had been hated by so many people, and at this time he was hobbling towards the study with a bookcase on his back.
After getting a reward of five taels of silver, Yunyi once dismissed the idea of selling books.
But when he walked around with the bookcase on his back for a while, he finally decided to sell the book.
Because it's too tiring to carry.
When he returned, he would definitely have to buy some necessities, and then the books would become a burden.
When Yun Yi walked into the Jian Reading Room sweating profusely, the shopkeeper Tong of the study was cleaning the counter boredly.
Since the original owner often buys pen, ink, paper and inkstone here, the two can be regarded as acquaintances.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper Tong greeted him warmly: "Yo, Yun Gongzi, you haven't been here for a while, what are you going to buy this time?" ”
The shopkeeper Tong looked enthusiastic, and he didn't sneer at him because Yun Yi was wearing a patched Confucian shirt.
"Shopkeeper Tong, I don't buy anything today. I heard that you also collect used books here, please help me see how much these books are worth? ”
Yun Yi put the bookcase on the counter and bowed to the shopkeeper Tong.
When the shopkeeper Tong heard that Yunyi was here to sell books, the enthusiasm on his face faded most of them in an instant.
Flipping through the books in the box at random, and found that they were all miscellaneous books, the shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but explain to Yun Yi helplessly:
"Yun Gongzi, we do recycle old books here, but we mainly collect some ancient books, with all due respect, although your books are still well preserved, they are really not worth much!"
"Please ask the shopkeeper Tong to give me an estimate! To tell you the truth, I was tired enough to carry it all the way, and I really didn't want to carry it back. ”
Yunyi didn't take the words of the shopkeeper Tong to heart, the suspect is the buyer, if he comes up is a fierce boast, it is estimated that today's book sales will be yellow.
Seeing Yunyi's frankness, Shopkeeper Tong couldn't help but be stunned.
This Yunyi used to read books for a few days, and he didn't look down on him as a businessman, but today is a change of sex?
Although he was puzzled, the shopkeeper Tong didn't dare to push the price too low, after all, Yunyi is a scholar, who knows when he will go to high school!
"It's all from the villagers, and you used to frequent the shop, so I'll give you three hundred dollars for this box of books!"
Shopkeeper Tong calculated in his heart, and finally gave a reasonable price.
Listening to the offer of the shopkeeper Tong, Yun Yi had a wry smile in his heart.
In his previous life, he was a person who was tens of thousands of yuan per minute, but now he has been busy for most of the day for a mere 300 yuan.
"Shopkeeper Tong, busy? Take a roll of the new words of the laughing people. ”
Yunyi was about to bargain, and suddenly walked into the store with several brocade men holding folding fans, looking at the dress, it should be the young master of which house in the county.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Seeing that the business came to the door, after the shopkeeper Tong confessed to Yunyi, he hurriedly greeted him.
