Chapter 110: Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger
After reporting to the director of the Xue Palace, Zhang Cheng knew what kind of existence the guests who had just welcomed in were.
Mr. Kabayashi, except for the teacher in the school palace, he has never seen him.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly went to find Shen Yan, but found that she was sitting in a gazebo, looking at the groom and a little girl with doting eyes.
The little girl was thinking about how to pick the pomegranates from the tree and touch the carp in the pond.
Between the two students, Namafu pointed at the situation on the Go board, without the slightest gentlemanly demeanor of watching chess.
"You can't do this, you here, you won't be eaten by him here?"
Although the two of them really didn't like this strange stranger around them, what he said was to the point.
The party who was instructed hurriedly stopped, and the other party said:
"I don't regret it, I don't regret it!"
However, the pointed party said:
"You also regretted a few steps just now, why don't you regret it?"
"Mr. said that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and it is very good." - The main thing is that if this son falls, I won, can you regret the chess?
The two sides of the stalemate silently prepared a secret move, wanting the other party to know what would make the scholar angry, and the chickens and dogs jumped.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Liu hurriedly slipped away, so as not to catch fire at the city gate and affect the fish in the pond.
As soon as he came back, he saw Zhang Cheng who came back, took a sip of the tea that Shen Yan had prepared, and asked:
"Reply? How so? β
Zhang Cheng naturally didn't pay attention to this vulgar groom, even if he knew some Go skills, he was just an inferior person.
What's more, this person didn't talk about etiquette at all, and drank the tea made by the master's family so vulgarly.
He just bent down and bowed to Shen Yan and said respectfully:
"Please also ask Mr. to follow me into the Cangsong Elegant Room, and the head of the school palace will come over immediately."
But he saw that Shen Yan had forgotten a glance at the horseman.
Zhang Cheng will be wrong and say:
"This big brother of the groom can't enter the private room according to the court, please wait here."
"Oh? Is this the ceremony of the Shanglin School Palace? β
Chen Liu asked deliberately puzzled.
Of course he knows what kind of mental character this Zhang Cheng is, it's just to watch people get off the plate, and it will only tend to be inflammatory.
"Exactly."
Zhang Cheng was already very dissatisfied at this time.
Where is the subordinate who doesn't follow the rules, the master speaks, how can you interject?
If it weren't for Mr. Shanglin here, Zhang Cheng would have wanted to get him out.
No, you can't let him in at all.
"I really don't have the eyesight to see it, haven't you heard of the three officials in front of the prime minister?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Liu suddenly had the idea of being a good teacher, and planned to mention this idiot.
"That is to say, what if the gentleman in front of you thinks that you look down on her groom and is dissatisfied? Even if I don't give birth, what if I always say bad things about you when I go back? Even if she won't be so convinced, she will always have a bad impression of you. β
Listening to Chen Liu's words, Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
What the groom said does make sense.
However, he had no chance to change his course.
Scholars, in addition to learning, the most important thing is face.
No, face is more important than learning.
"You vulgar! How can a gentleman despise a scholar because of someone like you? β
"Yo, you're pretty good at wearing hats. But you can represent the reader? What's more, she is not allowed to have a personal relationship? β
Zhang Cheng was suddenly startled and looked at Shen Yan.
found that she seemed to be just sitting and drinking tea, so she directly broke the jar and wanted to beat Chen Liu out with a stick.
"That's it. It's boring, it's boring. I'll just wait outside. She can always get in, right? β
Chen Liu suddenly had no interest in arguing with such a low-level player, so he agreed to wait outside.
It's just that he pointed to Xiao Douding, who had found a long stick to beat pomegranates, and asked her if she could go in.
"The Lord in charge only invited Mr. in...... She? Ignorant children, also waiting outside. β
Zhang Cheng saw that the other party gave in, and his arrogance naturally became more arrogant.
They even forgot that Xiao Douding was the reason why Shen Yan and they came here.
Chen Liu doesn't know where he got his confidence? Who is his father?
However, Chen Liu had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly and said to Shen Yan:
"Still can't see it?"
Zhang Cheng just wanted to reprimand Shen Yan for a few words, but saw her smile and said jokingly:
"Naturally, it's up to you, if you don't want to see it, let's leave."
"Sir, you ......"
This sentence made Zhang Cheng's worldview collapse.
How can the master ask the next person?! Could it be......
"That's a good guess, little white face, it's time to eat soft rice."
In Zhang Cheng's stunned eyes, Chen Liu directly took Shen Yan's hand and casually pulled her out of the bamboo pavilion.
Then the two walked side by side to Xiao Douding, and Chen Liu saw that she couldn't hit anything when she was holding a stick. So he stretched out his hand and plucked a pomegranate for her, and said:
"You are usually a picky eater, and you work against your aunt every day, and now you are dumbfounded, right?"
Xiao Douding took the pomegranate, but also said-for-tat:
"Big brother, aren't you also a picky eater?"
"But I can pick what I like to eat, and my aunt doesn't talk about me, are you angry?"
Xiao Douding's eyes are about to roll to the sky, and he has never seen such a naΓ―ve big brother.
After Chen Liu teased Xiaodouding, he wanted to take her away, and shouted:
"Let's go, there is no master here, there is a place to stay here."
Zhang Cheng didn't fully react until this time.
He wanted to keep it, but his fragile self-esteem couldn't allow him to do such a thing.
It's just that Chen Liu walked to the door, and an old master appeared and bowed down to apologize to them:
"If you miss the distance, please forgive me."
Chen Liu didn't really want to leave, just to show an attitude.
There are too many people, and there will always be a few things that do not follow the rules and have no morals. He would not blame the entire Shanglin School Palace because of Zhang Cheng alone.
So, he stopped, patted the little sister on the head, and the brother and sister worked together and greeted:
"Hello old man."
Shen Yan nodded.
The old master hurriedly returned the salute.
One of them is Mr. Kabayashi, who must be knowledgeable, and according to the rules, his status is higher than him.
What's more, the students of the school palace are at fault first, and the old master does not dare to hold his own identity.
At the same time, he also realized that he had to give them an explanation, so he said to Zhang Cheng:
"Zhang Cheng did not respect the rules of the palace, and he was responsible for the teachings of his teacher, so he should be punished heavily. Copy the disciple's rules a hundred times, and then go to the precept hall to ask Mr. Mao to decide. β
"Student ......"
"What's the objection?"
Zhang Cheng looked at the teacher who hated iron but not steel, and finally stopped arguing.
"Yes."
The old master then flicked his sleeves and told him to step back.
Then he faced Chen Liu and the three of them and said:
"Please also ask the three of you to come into the private room with me to discuss."
Although Chen Liu vaguely saw that Zhang Cheng had something to do with the old master in front of him, he didn't mind and nodded directly.
Shen Yan naturally followed his wishes, not to mention that he was still holding his hand at the moment.
Xiao Douding was indignant and almost stopped studying!
β¦β¦
"Please use tea."
"Thank you."
After Chen Liu entered the Cangsong private room, he really felt that it was quiet and elegant, and it was a very good room.
He also knew that the old master in front of him was the master in charge of this school palace, Jin Moyang, who refined ancient classics and was well-known as Confucianism.
As for that Zhang Cheng, Master Jin also generously admitted that he was his student.
Originally, he was placed at the gate in the hope that he would be more knowledgeable and slowly cut off the pride and prejudice in his bones.
But now it seems that the effect can only be said to be better than nothing.
Master Jin took the initiative to talk to Chen Liu about this, but it made him feel a little more favorable.
"The two are to order ......"
"She's my sister."
stopped talking, lest the old gentleman think that Shen Yan had children before marriage.
"I see, the two of you are looking for a husband for her enlightenment? How old is Ling Mei? β
"I'm almost nine years old."
Master Jin stroked his beard and thought for a while.
Chen Liu guessed the reason and explained:
"Earlier, there was no money at home, and she didn't want to study, so she delayed. Now I still want her to know more, and I hope to invite a gentleman to come to the house to teach. β
Master Jin nodded.
Shanglin Xuegong undertakes this kind of teaching request, as long as the husband and students are willing, the school palace is willing to match.
Of course, a proper amount of polishing is required.
"Does Childe have any needs?"
Master Jin also vaguely felt that although Shen Yan was Mr. Shanglin, this matter was in charge of Chen Liu in front of him.
So when discussing this matter, it is first necessary to ask him what he thinks.
"Learn from high school as a teacher, and be a model. Little sister's husband, I don't ask for too much knowledge, but I hope that this gentleman's character can be an example for her. β
Hearing this request, Master Jin didn't feel anything.
Most families, after all, just let the girls know how to be courteous, and there is no need for more so.
However, he listened to Chen Liu continue:
"In addition to her daily teaching, we will also take care of some other learning matters for her, but we will not interfere with her daily teaching."
Master Jin looked at Shen Yan, Mr. Shanglin, and saw that she had no objection.
It seems that he is wrong, and this family still attaches great importance to it.
Other details, Chen Liu also discussed with Master Jin slowly. He is still quite concerned about Xiaodouding's study.
Shen Yan listened quietly on the side, and then said to Xiao Douding:
"In the future, there will be three people supervising your study, are you happy?"
"Sister Shen Yan, don't play with my eldest brother. You've all gone bad! β
Xiao Douding pouted, his face full of displeasure.
After Chen Liu and Master Jin finished discussing, they also planned to leave.
The gentleman will not be able to come to the door until tomorrow, and the money will be collected only after both parties have agreed.
During this period of discussion, Master Jin also had a high opinion of Chen Liu's knowledge and temperament, and he was more concerned about their affairs.
In the end, when they were about to leave, Master Jin called out to Shen Yan:
"I wonder if Mr. can stay alone?"
Chen Liu saw that something was wrong with them, so he ran out with Xiaodouding, shouting as he walked:
"My sister was left in the classroom by the teacher, let's run."
Shen Yan saw the childish trick of the two of them, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little, and then asked Master Jin:
"What's the matter?"
"Mr. Nanhua instructed me to hand over these letters to the Bodhisattva when the Bodhisattva arrived."
Master Jin took out a few letterheads and Shen Yan's Mr. Shanglin jade plate from his arms and handed them to Shen Yan.
Shen Yan took it and said:
"His hexagram is still so accurate."
Obviously, this Daomen master calculated that she would come here.
The moment she opened the first letter and saw the contents, Shen Yan's eyes shrank slightly, and only after a long time did she say:
"I see."
