Liu Shiting stared blankly at Ji Yueqin's smiling face, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.
It is a coincidence that an old man entered the Xi De Zhai at this time, and saw Liu Shiting with a pale face and Ji Yueqin with a smile on his face. He didn't know what was going on, so he shouted angrily with a sullen face: "What are you doing standing there? Don't be quick to sit down."
When everyone heard the old man like this, they dispersed as birds and beasts. Speaking of which, these noble children have extraordinary identities, but this sacrificial wine obviously does not buy everyone's account.
Seeing everyone sit down, his expression turned slightly pale, because he seldom came to Xi Dezhai on weekdays, and today was also hurried from the Guozijian because of the arrival of Ji Yueqin.
For Ji Yueqin, he was actually very disdainful in his heart. Not only did he need to manage government affairs every day, but now he was even more unhappy because this child came to Taixue to give lectures.
After everyone sat down, only Ji Yueqin stood there and didn't move. Nan Xuanyu was a little anxious and wanted to pull Ji Yueqin to his side, but since this sacrificial wine was more strict on the defense of men and women, he had no choice but to Sitting anxiously.
"Why don't you sit?" Ji Jiu looked at Ji Yueqin coldly, feeling that this group of people caused trouble before he came today, and couldn't help but get more and more headaches.
Liu Shiting and the pink-clothed girl sat aside, as if waiting to see Ji Yueqin's joke, Liu Shiting was still angry with the pink-clothed girl, and ignored her, just staring at Ji Yueqin's every move.
Ji Yueqin saw that this person was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and he was not an ordinary scholar and teaching assistant, so he bowed towards him without being humble or arrogant: "If you return to the master, this is the first time that the students came to Xide Zhai to study with the students. I don't know where the students should sit. So the students are standing there."
To Ji Yueqin's polite and respectful answer, the old man nodded slightly, and said loudly, "Who would like to sit with her?"
"Sacrifice the wine and let Sister Yue sit with me!" Nan Xuanjin shouted, a little excited.
"Shut up! Entering the Zhaizhong, the old man is your lecturer, not a sacrificial wine! The old man sees that Cai Zhen is also a white teacher. You know that in the "Book of Rites" it is written: 'Men and women should not sit together, different shackles, different towels Kushi, don't teach it yourself.'? After school today, I will copy the Book of Rites ten times, and hand it over to Cai Zhen tomorrow." The old man scolded Nan Xuanjin when he saw such remarks.
"Master, the students have something to say." A silver bell-like female voice said respectfully.
The old man listened, and although his face was displeased, he agreed to let him speak: "Master, the county master can sit with the students."
The old man listened to his words and agreed, and said to Ji Yueqin, "Just sit with her."
Ji Yueqin respectfully bowed to the old man, then sat upright beside the woman, the woman smiled kindly at her, and Ji Yueqin returned a kind smile.
At this moment, the girl in pink looked displeased and muttered to Liu Shiting: "Sister Shiting, look, this Chu Qingtang shamelessly flattered her when she saw that she was the Lord of Anning County, and she didn't even look at her father as a mere idiot. The official of the seventh grade, he just reluctantly came to Xidezhai for class, so he wanted to climb the branch and become a phoenix."
"Shut up! Li Menghan, you are teaching the old man by the wall! Mencius said: 'Li Lou Zhiming, Gongshuizi's cleverness, you can't make a square without following rules' do you understand this truth?" One made him angry, and he asked loudly in a rage.
When Li Menghan heard the Master talk about her, her face turned pale in an instant, and she could only say falteringly: "I...I..."
The old man was even more angry when she saw that she was not moving, and shouted angrily at her: "What am I? Do you want the old man to go over and invite you, what are you doing there, hurry up and stand there!"
Li Menghan saw the old man's face flushed with anger, and quickly stood behind, without even taking the book.
Seeing this, the old man even said to himself, "Dead wood cannot be carved."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the front to prepare for the lecture.
"The old man's name is Cao Zhiyuan. I think everyone knows who the old man is. From today, the old man will come to Taixue three times a month to give lectures to you." Cao Zhiyuan said in front of himself.
"Today, let's discuss the magnificent Confucius thought in the Analects." Cao Zhiyuan said, rubbing his gray beard.
"Master said: If a gentleman is not serious, he is not powerful, and his studies are not firm. The Lord is loyal and trustworthy, and those who have no friends are inferior to themselves. If you are wrong, don't be afraid to change." Cao Zhiyuan said, rubbing his beard.
"Let's discuss it today." Cao Zhiyuan looked at the crowd with his hands behind his back, "Who would like to share their thoughts?"
Everyone pondered hard and didn't dare to answer rashly, so they stared at each other.
Cao Zhiyuan saw that no one took the initiative to answer, so he wanted to ask Ji Yueqin, who is new today, to answer, and to see for himself the level of this Anning County Master.
"Since no one is willing to stand up and answer, then let the new Anning County Master speak his opinion." Cao Zhiyuan looked at Ji Yueqin, who was sitting upright, and said loudly.
"Yes." Ji Yueqin responded, then sat up dignifiedly and said, "If we want to be a gentleman, we must first correct ourselves, and we must be solemn, and then we must be dignified, and then we will not be blocked in learning."
Before Ji Yueqin finished speaking, Cao Zhiyuan looked at Ji Yueqin with satisfaction and let her sit down.
"Li Menghan, tell me the second half of the sentence." Cao Zhiyuan looked at Li Menghan standing beside the wall in a daze, and wanted her to answer.
Li Menghan didn't hear the Master calling her, and she was still thinking about what kind of rouge to buy tomorrow.
Seeing this, Cao Zhiyuan's impression of this Li Menghan became worse and worse, and he shouted again loudly: "Li Menghan!"
Only then did Li Menghan wake up from his own thoughts, and raised his head a little bewildered: "What's wrong? What happened."
Seeing Li Menghan's ignorant appearance, everyone burst into laughter.
When Cao Zhiyuan saw that her hand was empty, he asked, "Li Menghan, where is your book?"
"Book? What book?" She asked Cao Zhiyuan blankly.
Seeing Li Menghan's appearance, everyone laughed more and more happily. Li Menghan didn't know what they were laughing, and looked at Cao Zhiyuan with doubts.
Cao Zhiyuan got angry when he saw Li Menghan, and shouted angrily: "Li Menghan, you copy the Analects fifty times, if you can't finish copying it, don't come to school!"
Li Menghan's face turned pale when he heard it, and he was afraid that his hands would be ruined after these fifty times of the Analects of Confucius.
The Master ignored Li Menghan, and said to himself: "A gentleman is not dignified if he is not solemn, and learning can make people not obsessed. You should focus on loyalty and trust, and don't make friends with people who are different from yourself. Don't be afraid to correct your mistakes. That's where the truth lies."
…
As time passed, Ji Yueqin and his party left school in a blink of an eye, and the girl named Chu Qingtang had a friendly conversation with Ji Yueqin.
"Chu Qingtang has seen Princess Anning." Chu Qingtang is also considered to be very outstanding. Although it is not absolutely beautiful, there is a hint of girlishness in the eyebrows, and it seems that the whole person can be considered to be out of place. Generous.
"Why do you need to be more polite? I have to thank Qingtang today, otherwise I won't have a place to sit." Ji Yueqin took Chu Qingtang's hand and said gratefully.
"I saw that the county master had a good face, so I invited the county master to sit with me. The county master should not take offense." Chu Qingtang said gently.
"How could this be? Well, don't call me a county master. Seeing that you are similar in age to me, Qingtang will call me Yueqin in private." Ji Yueqin has always been kind to those who are kind to her. .
Seeing Ji Yueqin being so gentle, Chu Qingtang felt warm in her heart. Thinking of all the things in her family, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Seeing that Chu Qingtang suddenly became depressed, Ji Yueqin asked aloud, "Qingtang, what's the matter with you."
Chu Qingtang didn't want to make Ji Yueqin unhappy because of herself, so she quickly said: "It's okay Yueqin, I just thought of some things, it's okay."
Ji Yueqin didn't ask any more questions, she took Chu Qingtang's hand and said, "Qingtang, this is not a place to talk, why don't you go back to Qianxi Palace with me, I don't have any friends in this palace, Nice to meet you today."
Chu Qingtang was very happy to be invited by Ji Yueqin. In fact, she didn't have any friends. She wanted to happily go to Ganxi Palace to chat with Ji Yueqin, but when she thought of her own home, she turned to Ji Yueqin gloomily. Said: "This... Yueqin I really want to go back with you, but my family..."
When Ji Yueqin saw that Chu Qingtang was afraid that her family would talk about her, she patted Chu Qingtang's hand and said, "Hey, what's the matter, I'll let someone go to your house and tell me later."
Chu Qingtang sighed and nodded to Ji Yueqin, and the two of them got into the sedan chair and returned to Qianxi Palace.
"Sister Shiting, I blame the Anning County Master and Chu Qingtang for making the two of us look so ugly today." Li Menghan looked at their distant backs, and squeezed the veil in her palms, as if she wanted to The handkerchief is generally crushed.
Liu Shiting glanced at Li Menghan, and said with hatred in her tone: "If it wasn't for your instigation today, how could I go up and talk about Anning County Master!"
When Li Menghan heard Liu Shiting say this, she quickly said: "Sister Shiting, don't be surprised, I didn't know she was the Princess Anning. You see how close she is to His Royal Highness, I am angry for my sister."
Seeing Li Menghan say this, Liu Shiting also said bitterly, "I am obviously the most qualified to sit next to His Royal Highness Prince, so what kind of thing is this Princess Anning!"
"That's right, how can this Princess Anning compare to our sister Shiting!" After Li Menghan finished speaking, she looked around nervously, for fear that someone would hear their conversation.
"And that Chu Qingtang, although she relied on her position as a daughter-in-law to come to Taixue for classes, but who doesn't know that she is notoriously unpopular. Now she still wants to climb up to the county master, I think she is really If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been punished by the Master for copying the Analects fifty times today!" Li Menghan mentioned that Chu Qingtang was even more angry and wanted to tear her apart.
"Don't worry, there is always a way to take care of them." Liu Shiting stared at the direction they were leaving, and said in a gnashing tone.
