Be a master through ancient times

Yan Xiu was trembling with anger, Chu Ci originally wanted to say a few more words, but unexpectedly, he made a mistake, and suddenly saw a group of people walking this way from the flower window on the wall behind Yan Xiu.

Chu Ci took a closer look and found that it seemed to be the masters of the prefectural school and other county schools, because Master Zhou was also on the list.

He immediately restrained his expression, became gentle and elegant, and at the same time hinted at Chen Jiang and the two with hand gestures.

The other two didn't know why, but they understood each other very well, and immediately followed suit, pretending to be gentle and kind.

Yan Xiu and Hu Bo were originally very angry, but when they saw their expressions suddenly changed, they felt a little wary, not knowing what they wanted to do.

"Don't think that if you smile at me now, I will treat it as if nothing happened! This is a government school, no matter how good your words are, it's just a matter of words. If I just yell, I can come over a dozen Personally, I'll see if your mouth is still hard!"

Chu Ci pretended to be scared, and said: "Why did you say that, brother? We just argued a few words, and brother is going to use force to solve the problem? As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands. In this case, wouldn’t I be too sorry for the masters who taught you to read sage books and be sensible people?”

"Oh, are you afraid? If you are afraid, get out of our school and go back to your backcountry. This is not a place for people like you to stay!" Hu Bo said, no one dared to provoke them in the school. , I was very angry at being squeezed by Chu Ci to the point of being speechless today.

"What are you talking about?! This old man doesn't know that there are still such ignorant students in our government school! Visitors are guests, is this how you treat guests? Which class are you from? I want your Master must punish you well!"

The one who spoke was Qiu Shanzhang, a very serious looking old man. When he spoke, the two mustaches on his mouth trembled angrily.

"The mountain... the mountain is long!" Hu Bo looked at the person coming, and suddenly understood why the cunning scholar suddenly changed his face.

"Shan Zhang, it's not our intention to do this, it's really the scholar's rude words that made the two of us lose our composure." Yan Xiu was very aggrieved.

"Not rude?" Qiu Shanchang looked at the three of Chu Ci.

Chu Ci looked at him innocently, with ignorance and innocence written all over his face.Qiu Shanzhang looked at the other two, one with doubts on his face, and the other with his head down.

"You are...Chen Zifang?" He vaguely remembered that this was a big incident in the government school last year. Several students who slept with him accused him of stealing the jade pendant of his classmate. Although the jade pendant was found in the garden, But this student also dropped out.

"Student Chen Zifang, I met the head of the mountain. It's hard for the head of the mountain to remember me. The student is ashamed." Chen Zifang bowed his head and bowed, with mixed emotions in his heart.

"That time you were wronged, but luckily the truth came out, and you finally got your innocence. Where are you going to study now?"

"If you go back to the head of the mountain, the students are now studying in Yuanshan County."

"Oh, Mr. Kong Shan is very knowledgeable, and it is a good choice for you to study with him." Qiu Shanzhang nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Shan, for your concern."

Qiu Shanzhang looked at Yan Xiu and the two again: "You said that their words were rude, but after I observed them, the eyes of these three people were clear and calm, and there was no trace of fear. If they really spoke rudely, they would not be as afraid as you are." Cringe?"

"Shan Zhang, we didn't lie to you. He said that we lived in a busy city and learned some wild words from the people in the city. Isn't this belittle our school? The students said those things to protect the dignity of the school." Yan Xiu was quick-witted, he didn't dare to say that they were provocative first, so he took advantage of the loopholes in Chu Ci's words and changed what he was referring to to the masters of the school.

Qiu Shanchang frowned, looked at Chu Ci who was being pointed at, and asked, "Did you say that?"

Chu Ci smiled calmly: "I said it."

"Why do you call the masters of the prefecture school the people of the market?" Qiu Shanzhang's eyes turned cold. If his students make mistakes, he will naturally punish them severely, but if others bully them, then he will not appeasement.

"Qiu Shanzhang, this is a student from our Yuanshan County School. He has always been knowledgeable and respectful. He must not have said that on purpose. There must be a reason for it. I hope Qiu Shanzhang will forgive me." Master Zhou saw Chu Ci and Qiu Shanzhang That's right, I quickly came forward to maintain it.

"Master Zhou is right. There is indeed a reason why I call the masters of the government school the people of the market."

Hearing Chu Ci's answer, Yan Xiu was secretly happy. He originally thought that this person would say that sentence not against the school, but only against him, Yan Xiu, but he didn't expect that he would be so stupid as to answer.

"What reason?" Qiu Shanchang felt that no matter what the reason was, it was not an excuse for this arrogant student to compare them to people in the market!

"The ancients once said: small hermits in the mountains and forests, but great hermits in the city. The real resourceful people are often not those who live in seclusion in the mountains and take care of themselves alone, but those who live in the busy city, but can cultivate themselves and help the world at the same time. Fan Wenzheng also said that if you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people, and if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler. The masters of the government schools are in the busy market. They select talents for the monarch and impart knowledge to the people. They can be a model for others. , I admire you very much. The marketer’s statement is just borrowed from Chunqiu’s brushwork, but it may be that my Spring and Autumn Period has not been cured, so this brother has misunderstood it.”

Qiu Shanchang's face turned pale, and he asked again: "What about the wild words?"

"Since ancient times, those who have great talents are those who have a wild temperament and don't stick to trivial matters. Li Taibai and his like are even the best among them. If he is cautious, how can he write those well-known poems and be praised by later generations as a poet? This is also the Chunqiu style of writing, alas, unfortunately that brother did not realize it."

"According to what you said, those two sentences are not only not disrespectful, but also a compliment to the master?" Qiu Shanchang smiled, he thought this scholar was really interesting.Although you know that he may be talking nonsense, you somehow feel that what he said makes sense.

"Yes, I have always longed for Fuxue. I was loved by Kong Shan, and I rushed all the way from Yuanshan County to Fuxue to participate in the literary fair. How can the longing for the highest school in the state capital make me weather-beaten and willing to go there?" Chu Ci looked forward with anticipation, as if the school was really the holy place to study in his heart.

"Oh? Chu Ci, right, but how did I hear that you turned down the opportunity to study at the prefectural school twice in a row?" Eloquent, quick-witted, and from Yuanshan County School, he must be Master Mu Plus recommended Chuci.

Chu Ci's eyeballs rolled, and it turned out that his old background was exposed.He immediately covered his face with his sleeves, pretended to be ashamed, and said, "Master Qiu Shan, you are laughing at me. Listen to what I said just now, and you will know why I dare not come. Students are not yet skilled, and what they say is easy to make people laugh." If people misunderstand, it’s better not to come here to show off.”

"Hmph, it's not that you are not good at learning, but that the two of them are extremely stupid and generous." Qiu Shanchang glared at Yan Xiu and Hu Bo.Although he didn't hear everything, he probably knew that it was the two who provoked first, and who would have guessed that they couldn't speak for others, so they deliberately misinterpreted what others said.

This Chu Ci is really powerful, even if that sentence is full of irony, it can be turned into a compliment by him, and everyone nods after hearing it.Moreover, he said that the two of them didn't understand the left sentence, and he didn't understand the right sentence, so he unknowingly hinted in other people's minds that the two of them were idiots by default.

"Chief Qiu Shan, don't be angry. Although these two students are not very smart, they are worthy of praise for their dedication to maintaining the school." Master Zhou persuaded him when he saw that he was angry.

"Yeah, it's okay to be dull, there are still merits."

"That's right, if a foolish person is taught well, he will definitely benefit. Why should Qiu Shanchang be angry?"

These masters persuaded Qiu Shanzhang one by one, and named Yan and Hu as stupid. Who told them that they also came from the backcountry?

Yan and Hu were dumbfounded, and they stood there dumbfounded, looking really stupid.

Chen Zifang's respect for Chu Ci has reached its peak. Yan Xiu and Hu Bo are from a good family. They have always been arrogant and domineering in the government school, and bullying others is commonplace. Now they are made into such a state by Chu Ci's few words. ——Congratulations!
