Volume 1 General White Horse Chapter 21 A penny is stumped against a hero

Boom! Boom!

Two loud bangs.

Liu Bei and Zou Dan hurriedly returned to their seats.

Everyone looked in the direction of the two and laughed.

"Silence." Lu Zhi picked up the ring ruler and slammed it on the blackboard.

The students immediately quieted down, and they all picked up their books and covered their faces, for fear of being swept away by Lu Zhi's sharp gaze.

...

After class, Lu Zhi called Liu Li to his office, knocked on the table, and asked, "Liu Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Sir, I wonder what you mean by that?" Liu Li pretended to be confused.

In class, Lu Zhi didn't refute Liu Li's face, but outside the classroom, he had to settle accounts with him.

And the key question is why Gongsun Chan appeared in the school.

"Don't give me a sloppy look, what's the matter with Gongsun Zhan? Why did Hou Taishou's son-in-law appear in my class? ”

"Sir, isn't this Gongsun Chan also worshipping under your name and becoming your student?" Liu Li pretended to be surprised, "What's the matter, Hou Taishou didn't tell you?" ”

"He mentioned it to me yesterday, but I refused." As soon as this incident was mentioned, Lu Zhi was angry, and the reason why he resigned and returned to his hometown was because he didn't like the officialdom.

And Hou Taishou's new official took office, and he had just become the Zhuojun Taishou, so he naturally spoke with some shelves, and spoke to Lu Zhi, a scholar, in a commanding tone, without speculating for more than half a sentence, as soon as Lu Zhi's temper came up, he simply quarreled with Hou Taishou.

Yesterday, I went to attend Hou Taishou's daughter's wedding, and Hou Taishou sent someone to persuade him to come over.

"Mr. Lu, this Hou Taishou is the local parent official of Zhuo County, you quarreled with him?" Liu Li asked with some disbelief.

"Why, no." Lu Zhi didn't care and said, "It's too guarded by Zhuojun, and it can't get into my eyes." ”

"That's not good, sir, you offended Hou Taishou, you are not afraid personally, after all, there is the imperial court to support you, but your students are still staying in Zhuo County, if because you are rash, let Hou Taishou not wait to see them, then their future career will be blocked, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your students."

After listening to what Liu Li said, Lu Zhi thought about it, and now he is not as good as before.

In the past, he was alone, and it was his own business to make meritorious deeds as an official and pacify the rebellion in Jiujiang County.

But now he has resigned and returned to his hometown to carry out education, and he has brought many students, who are just like his children.

As a teacher, who doesn't want to be all over the world.

If the future of his students is hindered because of his momentary anger, then he will naturally not be happy in his heart.

But as a scholar, he is still a little arrogant, and it is impossible to bow his head and admit his mistake when he says anything.

"Then you say, what should I do?"

Seeing that Lu Zhi's attitude had eased a bit, Liu Li hurriedly said: "Sir, according to the student's opinion, it is better to accept Gongsun Zan and sell Hou Taishou a favor." ”

Gongsun Zhan is a person with outstanding appearance and some ability, although the family conditions are poor, Lu Zhi is generally satisfied with him, not to mention that he is still Hou Taishou's fast son-in-law.

With him as his own student, it will be more or less convenient to act in Zhuo County.

You must know that one is an official of the imperial court, Liu He, who is in the service, and is the son of Liu Yu, the prince of the Wang family, and the other is a small official of Zhuo County, Gongcao Shuzuo Gongsun Zhan, the identity and status of the two are so different, this Hou Taishou still chose Gongsun Zhan, which shows that he must have some ability.

As he spoke, at some point, Liu Li had taken out a bag of coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Lu Zhi's hand.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi's face changed, he threw the bag of coins heavily, smashed it on the table, knocked out a harsh sound, and said loudly: "What is this, I didn't open a school to make money." ”

Seeing this, Liu Li hurriedly explained: "Mr. misunderstood, this is the silver taels donated by Hou Taishou, in order to repair your school, sir, the school is always so dilapidated, and it can't recruit many students, besides, the teaching tools also need to be upgraded, and the students also need a better and quieter environment to study." ”

Seeing that Lu Zhi refused to accept it, Liu Li continued to add: "You can accept it, Hou Taishou said, this will be regarded as Gongsun Zhan's admission fee." ”

A penny is difficult for a hero, Lu Zhi also knows that he is stretched, after resigning, although the court did not cut off his salary, but compared with before, a year's income is generally much less.

At the same time, he returned to his hometown to open a school to teach, and he had already used up all his savings.

Because of his face, he never asked the rich businessmen in the county for money, nor did he ever make money in the name of opening a school, and he also accepted a lot of orphans like Gao Lu, and it was difficult to even live, let alone pay tuition.

Many wealthy businessmen in the state and county said that they would donate some money to him to support his teaching career.

But the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, and those who are engaged in business, if they are not profitable, will long be discouraged.

There are also wealthy businessmen who want to stuff their uneducated sons into them, so this will step on Lu Zhi's bottom line, and he will not agree to anything.

So over the years, although Lu Zhi has opened a school and accepted many students, he is still short of money, and he relies on the money given by the imperial court in the early years to survive.

Now Hou Taishou has donated some silver taels, which can help him make the school bigger.

Seeing Liu Li say this, Lu Zhi couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, "You, you are really eloquent, and you deserve to be the golden signboard of the matchmaker in the county." ”

"That's not it, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, I can also help Mr. solve lifelong problems...."

Before Liu Li could finish speaking, Lu Zhi picked up the ring ruler and was about to call Liu Li, "Just your mouth!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Li hurriedly ran out of the house, he would be beaten by the ring ruler a second later, he knew how powerful this thing was, and he still muttered when he ran out of the house: "Really, don't introduce you to the object, what an old stubborn." ”

Seeing Liu Li running out, Gongsun Zhan, who was waiting outside the house, hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, how is it?" ”

There was a little nervousness in his expression, after all, whether Lu Zhi could accept him as a student or not depended on Liu Li.

Although Gongsun Chan is from a noble background, he is a lonely nobleman after all, and he is only a small official in the county, so he can't imagine that he can become a fast son-in-law of Hou Taishou.

But if his ability and status can't match, now Hou Taishou still values him, and one day Hou Taishou will see that he is unhappy, and it is not impossible to kick him in one hand.

Liu Li pretended to sigh, and Gongsun Zhan seemed to understand something, but he still smiled reluctantly and said, "Brother Li, it's okay." ”

"It's okay, don't worry, Mr. has already agreed to accept you as a student."

One second of heaven and one second of hell, for Gongsun Zhan, it is like riding a roller coaster.
