"Then please take care of yourself, and when it comes, I'll have tea with you again." An old man who was over the age of sixteen invited Ji Changye out of the backyard and said to him with a smile on his face.

This person is the famous academy Confucian Jiao Zhengqing.

Ji Changye's attitude towards him was also very respectful, because the two had known each other in the Hanlin Academy earlier, and Jiao Zhengqing was also his teacher.

Jiao Zhengqing looked at Ji Changye in front of him, remembering the days when they were both in the imperial capital a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh that things were wrong.

"Shopkeeper Song, I advise you to be careful what you say, otherwise the master will not accept this child." The gray-clothed scholar saw that he couldn't argue with Song Qian, so he threatened her with ingots.

But who knows, Song Qian didn't think much of it at all, and even pulled up the ingots and made a gesture to walk out, and replied to the scholar, "The academy has a snob like you, so don't wait. But you had better remember that the prestige of men is only temporary, and if you look down on others today, you will be spurned in the future."

When passing by Wang Niangzi and Wang Yongan, the other party grabbed Song Qian and said anxiously, "Song Niangzi, don't do it. You have all given such a valuable apprenticeship, and it would be a waste of time to leave easily. What's more, it's because of us that we have a quarrel."

"Lady Wang, you don't have to think about it. Today, seeing their true colors, I should be glad that I didn't leave the child behind. If you don't dislike it, I'll send you back, your clothes are torn." Song Qian patted Wang Niangzi's hand and comforted.

Only then did Wang Niangzi notice the clothes she had damaged when she was pushed down just now, and she couldn't help but look distressed, because this was the only thing she had without patches.

The gray-clothed scholar didn't stop them from leaving, he still looked like he was on top, and he couldn't wait for a few people to leave quickly, so as not to be an eyesore.

But he didn't expect that the scene that happened just now was fully watched by Jiao Zhengqing and Ji Changye, who came from the backyard.

Listening to the gray-clothed scholar's disrespectful appearance towards Song Qian, Ji Changye frowned slightly, hiding his dissatisfaction but not showing it, because he couldn't recognize Song Qian at this time.

On the other hand, Jiao Zhengqing was very angry when he saw that the scholars under his academy were so rude, and scolded sharply, "What are you doing!"

The gray-clothed scholar couldn't help but be startled when he heard this voice, turned to see that it was Jiao Zhengqing coming, stepped forward tremblingly and pretended to be calm and said, "Sir, why are you here?"

Song Qian and the others were also shocked by the sudden voice, and when they turned around, they saw Ji Changye standing beside them, and the other party's eyes were full of worry.

She wasn't mistaken, right?

"If I don't come, this academy today is what you say, isn't it?" Jiao Zhengqing didn't pay attention to his pretending to be stupid, and the crutches he was carrying had to be lifted and landed on him several times to teach him a lesson, but because of his identity and the presence of guests, Jiao Zhengqing could only give up.

The gray-clothed scholar still wanted to quibble, "Mr. Hui, it's this shopkeeper Song who is shouting here, and the student just wants to invite her out." It's simply reversing black and white.

Wang Niangzi didn't want Song Qian to be implicated because of herself, so after the fairy tale sound of the gray book fell, she hurriedly explained to Jiao Zhengqing: "Sir, things are not what he said. It was he who looked down on my family Yong'an and disliked my Wang family's humble background, so he sneered at us and drove our mother and son out, and even did it. It was Song Niangzi who couldn't get used to him being domineering, so she stood up for us and was threatened by him."

Listening to Wang Niangzi's explanation and the words he had just heard, Jiao Zhengqing understood what had just happened, and his brows tightened.

The scholar knew that his defense was fruitless, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Sir, the College has always paid attention to teaching and educating people, and this is what you have been adhering to for many years. But today some people are going to break this rule, which shows how arrogant their hearts are." Ji Changye, who had been silent for a long time, spoke slowly, his eyes wandered over the scholar, and if he looked closely, he could see the coldness in his eyes, as if he wanted to correct the scholar on the spot.

Sensing his master's appearance, Changfeng decided that he was coming out with Song Qian, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, and thought about telling He Yujin about it after he went back.

Song Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the truth being revealed, but it was faint

worried, afraid that this Jiao Zhengqing was as tall as rumors, had a strange temper, and would defend the scholar so that the wronged Wang Niangzi had nowhere to reason.

But Jiao Zhengqing's next words made Song Qian know that he was thinking too much.

"The old man retired from the Hanlin Academy and returned to his hometown to open a academy here, and he has always been taught without class, recruiting talents without distinction between rich and poor, and he also taught the masters below in the same way. You've been exposed to it for many years, but you still act like this, it's a shame for the academy!" Jiao Zhengqing's body was trembling when he was angry, and Changfeng and another scholar hurriedly stepped forward to stabilize the person.

"Sir, it's my mistake, don't kick me out of the academy, so I have nowhere to go." At this time, the scholar did not really realize his mistake, and he was full of fear that he would be expelled from the academy, so he would sleep on the streets, and he would never be able to show off his power again.

Jiao Zhengqing was helped to sit down and said, "According to the rules of the academy, you will be punished for two hours in the courtyard, and the etiquette will be copied down a hundred times, keep it in mind, and remember not to act like this in the future."

When they heard that the punishment of the scholar was nothing more than that, Song Qian and Yuan Bao both frowned, and they could see that they were very dissatisfied.

After "narrowly escaping death", the scholar hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then got up and waited aside.

Jiao Zhengqing also had to look at Yuan Bao and Wang Yongan not far away in his spare time, and when he saw that Yuan Bao looked a little similar to Ji Changye's eyebrows, he couldn't help but be surprised When he wanted to take a closer look, he heard Song Qian say: "Sir, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

After that, you have to pull the ingots away from this place. Although he was a little unwilling to come in vain this time, and took in the valuable apprenticeship ceremony, compared to these, Song Qian was still unwilling to let the ingots stay angry.

Wang Niangzi probably also knew that after this farce, it would be more difficult to keep Wang Yongan in the academy than to ascend to the sky, so she followed behind Song Qian with interest, wanting to leave together.

After Jiao Zhengqing had no choice but to retract his gaze, he hurriedly stopped the four of them: "Stay, two ladies." Today's incident is the fault of the academy, and I hope that a few people will not take it to heart. It's the old man who has no way to teach, so I'm here to compensate the four for this ignorant little student. If the two ladies and sons don't dislike it, and are willing to give the old man and face, will they both stay in the academy to study?"

Hearing Jiao Zhengqing's words, Mrs. Wang, who was originally full of disappointment, suddenly became happy, and hurriedly pulled Wang Yongan to kneel in front of Jiao Zhengqing and kowtow and said, "Thank you, sir, for raising your hand, thank you, sir."

Song Qian didn't expect the situation to come to this point, and he still hoped that Yuanbao could stay, after all, there was only one academy in Sulou Town.

But after experiencing what happened just now, Song Qian leaned down and asked Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, do you want to stay here?" If he didn't want to, he wouldn't force it.

Yuan Bao shook his head categorically and said loudly, "Mother, I don't want to stay here, can we go back?" Although he is still young, he can distinguish right from wrong, so he is reluctant to stay.

After Jiao Zhengqing helped Wang Yongan up, he couldn't help but be curious when he heard Yuanbao's voice, walked up to him and asked with a kind smile, "This little boy, can you tell me why you don't want to stay?" Is this academy not grand enough, old man, or no one can teach you skills?"

Yuan Bao was not afraid of Jiao Zhengqing, but replied to me indifferently: "Sir, the purpose of the academy's private school is to teach and educate people, cultivate the heart of a gentleman, and also to recruit talents for the imperial court. As long as the master distinguishes right from wrong and teaches and educates people seriously, even if he is a humble house, he can produce a gentleman. I don't want to stay, because this boy is here."

The scholar who bowed his head and was silent saw that Yuan Bao pointed the finger at him, and his heart hung again, wanting to come to Jiao Zhengqing to defend himself. However, Yuan Bao didn't give him a chance, and continued under Jiao Zhengqing's expectant gaze: "A person with such a temperament and dares to do ridiculous things boldly means that there are such a large number of people in the academy, and if you don't stop the loss in time, I am afraid that it will not take many days to disintegrate and crush the academy from within. Sir, am I right?"

Jiao Zhengqing didn't expect that there would be such a thought from such a small body as ingots, so he wanted to take him in and sit down, so that he could cultivate a good life, and he would definitely be able to become a great weapon in the future. So he followed his words and said, "What do you say?"

Yuan Bao and Song Qian glanced at each other, then looked at the frightened scholar, and said unceremoniously, "These people are still

It is better to drive out the college, so that there may be no evil."

Jiao Zhengqing thought it was a child's joke, but he saw that Yuan Bao's eyebrows were very serious, and it happened that he had this intention in his heart, so he said coldly to the scholar: "This little boy is right, there is no room for people like you in the academy, you can pack up and leave later." I hope you will remember in the future that you must not be so arrogant in dealing with people."

The scholar didn't expect to be kicked out after going around and around, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged to stay. But before he could say a few words, he was dragged down by the arms of the two scholars who came.

Ji Changye was very satisfied when he saw this, it was worthy of his bloodline, he should have such courage and decisiveness. But he soon felt that Yuan Bao was too straightforward and fast-talking, which was not a good thing, and if he was a little careless, it was likely to bring unnecessary trouble to himself and Song Qian.

Yuan Bao saw that his words were done by Jiao Zhengqing, and finally stretched his brows with satisfaction, revealing a child's satisfied smile.

Song Qian didn't expect the ingots to be so heroic, and he was still a little worried in his heart, but at this moment, the dust settled and he let it go.

Seeing that the matter was over, Ji Changye said goodbye to Jiao Zhengqing and left.

When he got into the carriage, Ji Changye recalled the appearance of the scholar, and felt that this person was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he said to Changfeng: "I am afraid that this scholar will have hatred and take revenge on Song Niangzi and Yuanbao in the future."

"Lord Wang, don't worry, this person's subordinates will keep an eye on him, and he won't let him hurt Song Niangzi and Yuanbao for half a point." Changfeng understood and took the initiative to take it.

Ji Changye was a lot more relieved at this time, knowing that Song Qian and Yuanbao still had to give Jiao Zhengqing and his master tea before they could enter the academy, I was afraid that it would take some time, so he let Changfeng and the coachman pioneer car leave.

As he thought, at this time, Yuan Bao and Wang Yongan had both been taken to the main hall. The belated master and Jiao Zhengqing sat on the upper seat, while Yuan Bao and Wang Yongan knelt below, holding the teacup in their hands.

"Sir, please have tea."

The scholar handed over the teacup, and after the two drank it, they looked at Yuan Bao and Wang Yongan kowtowed, and waved his hand with a smile, "Get up."

In this way, the two really entered the academy to study.

Jiao Zhengqing was also a little tired, so he handed over the rest of the things to his master Lu Ziyu, and left to rest with the support of the scholar.

"The two of you can come to the college tomorrow, remember to wear your uniforms, don't miss the hour." After Lu Ziyu saw Jiao Zhengqing leaving, he instructed Song Qian and Wang Niangzi.
