Chapter 13: The Black Sheep
Seeing that the students of Wang Xuezheng were almost admitted to the school, Feng Zhixian reminded: "Lord Xuezheng, if you wait any longer, the table will be cold." ”
"Oh? It just so happened that the official also felt that his stomach was empty, but he couldn't live up to Brother Tantai's good intentions. Wang Xuezheng got up with a smile, and everyone bowed to see each other off.
Wang Xuezheng's footsteps paused, and he stretched out his hand to the back and said, "Weichen Xiaoyou, you can also sit down." ”
"Yes!"
Hearing that Wang Xuezheng invited Wei Chen to the banquet together, the old villagers and gentry in Youyang were so envious that their eyes were about to fall.
Sun Zhigao on the side was even more red-eyed, thinking that he was dignified and talented, and he had never enjoyed this kind of honor, Wei Chen, a yellow-haired little child, what qualifications did he have to be promoted like this by the University of Science and Politics?
Shi Kai caught a glimpse of Sun Zhigao's angry appearance, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, and at the same time felt comfortable.
He was poor since he was a child, and after failing the two college exams, he was unable to take the exam again, so he could only teach for a living.
But Shi Kai was just a child, and many social studies looked down on him and turned him away. It was Sheng Wei who appreciated Shi Kai's talent and invited him to Sheng's Yixue to sit in a hall, so that Shi Kai would not be without food and clothing.
Even so, Shi Kai still has to be subordinate to Sun Zhigao, and can only play the role of a teaching assistant, and he has to be sneered at by Sun Zhigao from time to time.
Shi Kai didn't say it, but in fact, he had already held a sense of injustice in his heart, and he pinned all his thoughts on the students, strict requirements for the students, and careful teaching, that is, he hoped that some of the students could get ahead and raise his eyebrows for him.
It's just that Shi Kai didn't expect that the last person to fulfill his wish for him was a ten-year-old Mengtong who had only been enrolled for half a month.
Shi Kai couldn't help but recall the first time he met Wei Chen, he saw Wei Chen writing hard in class, taking notes, accepting the six salutes from Wei Chen, instructing him in calligraphy, and teaching him the scriptures......
Scenes flashed in his mind like a marquee, as if they had just happened yesterday, which made Shi Kai sigh.
……
Youyang County Ya.
At the banquet, after some hypocritical pushing, Wang Xuezheng sat on the upper seat, Feng Zhixian sat on the main seat, and Wei Chen sat on the side of the door.
The Venerable faces the door, and the humble ones back to the door, which is not only convenient to take care of the guests, but also strictly observes the etiquette of respecting the upper and lower.
There are eight plates of meat and vegetarian cold spells on the table, and there is also a precious fruit and a pastry snack in front of each seat.
With a slight wave of Feng Zhixian's hand, there will be maids passing dishes, delicacies from the mountains and seas, and all kinds of meat and vegetables, which make people appetite.
Wang Xuezheng glanced at Wei Chen, and saw that he was always dignified, his eyes did not squint, and he regarded the delicacies in front of him as if they were nothing, and he couldn't help but secretly admire again.
After the wine and food were full, the banquet dispersed, Wang Xuezheng encouraged Wei Chen a few words, left a famous post, and went home with Feng Zhixian.
Wei Chen walked out of the gate of the county government with his head held high and returned in the direction of Sheng's Yixue.
The two Shangguan were there, and Wei Chen couldn't help but pour a few cups of yellow soup at the banquet, with a bit of alcohol on his body, and he was also a little dizzy.
Back to Yixue, Wei Chen pushed open the door, and when he saw the scene inside, he was immediately startled, and he had no intention of drinking.
I saw more than 50 classmates, all standing at the door of the lecture hall, staring at Wei Chen, and seeing that Wei Chen was back, everyone hula all gathered around.
Wei Chen also saw Chen Jun in the crowd, with a look of shame on his face, he lowered his head and twisted and didn't dare to look directly at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen asked, "Fellow students, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Jun stepped forward, his face was still a little unnatural, and he saluted Wei Chen: "Wei Chen, today is my infatuation, I lost the face of my fellow teachers, it all depends on you to come forward and save face for Yixue, you have made great contributions, please accept my worship." ”
Wei Chen hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, where is this, you and I are both students of Yixue, and it is within our duty to maintain the reputation of Yixue, and it is not merit to say anything." ”
At this time, another student in the crowd shouted: "Wei Chen, today you have won glory for our righteous school in front of the Xuezheng University, and you will be our own person in the future!" ”
"That's right!" A group of students chimed in.
Wei Chen laughed, and made a group gesture to the Quartet: "It's my honor to be accepted by all of you, Wei Chen is here to thank you." ”
When everyone heard this, they all applauded, and hugged Wei Chen and walked towards the lecture hall, only Sheng Changgui snorted coldly and left the lecture hall alone.
Sheng Changgui decided to go to his card friend Sun Zhigao, play a few laps of horse hanging, relieve the stuffiness in his chest, and discuss how to rectify Wei Chen by the way.
As soon as he entered the right fast, where the tutor was resting, Sheng Changgui saw Sun Zhigao packing his luggage, and was taken aback at the moment, and stepped forward and asked, "Cousin-in-law, are you leaving?" ”
Sun Zhigao sighed: "I was deeply touched when I saw Master Xuezheng today, and I decided to resign from my position as a teacher and concentrate on learning to prepare for the township examination in the coming year. Changgui, brother-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you anymore in the future. ”
Sheng Changgui looked confused when he heard this.
What's the situation?
Sun Zhigao didn't break his brain, how could he suddenly use his work, and said that he would be a rice worm together, playing horse cranes every day, and visiting the Qinglou, isn't this kind of day fragrant?
Sun Zhigao saw Sheng Changgui's ghostly expression, coughed lightly in embarrassment, glanced at the door, and saw that there was no one around, so he sat on the stool and said angrily: "Let's tell you the truth, it was Sheng Wei's old horseman who didn't know gold and jade, and quit me!" ”
"How so?"
Sheng Changgui was shocked when he heard this, Sun Zhigao is also the son-in-law of the Sheng family, and no one should dismiss him if Sheng Wei dismisses him!
Sun Zhigao said weakly: "Isn't it because I demolished Wei Chen's kid's platform in front of Master Xuezheng before?" ”
Sheng Changgui's eyes widened: "Just because of this?" ”
"Hmph, Sheng Wei's old horseman, I got a word of Xuezheng, and my tail was cocked to the sky, I actually dared to say that I neglected my duties on weekdays, held myself improperly, and continued to teach in Yixue will only mislead people's children and bring bad atmosphere of Yixue. He also said, he added......"
"What else did you say?" Sheng Changgui hurriedly asked.
Sun Zhigao swallowed his saliva, his voice suddenly lowered, and he said: "He also said that if I refuse to leave on my own, he will go to the provincial capital to ask Lord Xuezheng to decide." ”
Sheng Changgui suddenly realized when he heard this, Sheng Wei was holding Sun Zhigao's seven inches!
Sun Zhigao cares most about his talent and fame, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of one person, that is, the academic politics of this province.
Now that Sheng Wei is familiar with his face in front of the academic and political masters, he has climbed this door, and Sun Zhigao is naturally afraid of three points.
Otherwise, if Sheng Wei goes to Xuezheng to sue Sun Zhigao for his black state, Xuezheng will be furious, and Sun Zhigao's talent and reputation will not be guaranteed!
On weekdays, Sun Zhigao relied on his fame, and he had never had some respect for Sheng Wei's father-in-law, but at this time, there was a faint fear in his words, and he felt a little unbearable on his face.
He pretended not to care and waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I am a dignified and talented person, teaching these Mengtong is originally overkill, it is better to give up this trouble and settle clean." ”
After Sheng Changgui heard what happened to Sun Zhigao, his heart was already up and down.
In Sheng's Yixue, in addition to Sun Zhigao, he Sheng Changgui seems to be the biggest black sheep in Yixue, Sheng Wei in order to rectify the style of Yixue, even Sun Zhigao, the son-in-law, quit, so his nephew ......
The expression on Sheng Changgui's face kept changing, and he finally made up his mind and said:
"Well, cousin-in-law, why don't I go with you......"
