"Oh! We can finally transfer to the School of Mathematics! Brother Zifan, it's all thanks to you this time! In the future, we can also take two days off every five days. "
Inside the School of Imperial College.
Yu Dongcai patted Sun Zifan's shoulder excitedly and laughed.
"Haha, Dongcai, do you think I went through so much trouble to transfer to the School of Mathematics just for this?"
Sun Zifan laughed in a low voice.
The little fatty's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. He sneakily approached Sun Zifan and asked, "Oh? Brother Zifan, do you have a deeper meaning? "
"Haha!"
Sun Zifan laughed proudly and then said mysteriously, "Of course, Dongcai, think about it carefully. Dr. Li taught Assistant Master Mou and the others before. Strictly speaking, we have to call him Grandmaster, right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Hehe, but after two days, when we are transferred to the School of Mathematics and Mathematics, Professor Li will become our master, and Assistant Lecturer Mou will become our senior brother. As for us, won't we become the other students' martial uncles? Ah ha! "
Sun Zifan said with a cheeky smile.
Yu Dongcai was stunned by his brother's strange way of thinking. But after thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed the case, so he quickly gave him a thumbs up and laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Zifan's words are reasonable, very reasonable! Haha! I didn't expect you and me to become Martial Uncles so soon, hahaha! "
This wild laughter immediately attracted the attention of the other students in the school.
"Slap!"
Sun Zifan slapped him hard and said angrily, "Are you stupid? Do you want everyone to hear you so loudly? "
"Uh, sorry, sorry! But why hasn't Assistant Master Mou come today? "
Yu Dongcai rubbed the back of his head and then asked doubtfully.
Sun Zifan rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? But I told you to buy a newspaper for me this afternoon. Did you buy it? "
Yu Dongcai hurriedly laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Zifan, don't worry. I've already sent my errand boy to the Strange Interest Pavilion to inquire about this newspaper. When the time comes, we'll definitely be able to buy it."
…
In the pine forest to the east of the Imperial College.
The nine teachers from different academies sat on the stone benches in the forest, drinking and chatting merrily. They sat down and discussed the Dao, feeling very comfortable.
"Assistant Teacher Mou, for this Ma Zhou to be able to write such a splendid essay, he must be a Virtuous Sage. Have you heard of him before?"
Wang Yalun held a cup of wine and took the lead to ask.
"Dr. Wang, this person has always been unknown. I've never heard of him before. Now, this Ma Zhou has amazed everyone with a single brilliant feat!"
Assistant Master Mou hurriedly replied.
Wang Yalun nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Well, I have a different opinion about some of this Ma Zhou's points of view. I just don't know if I can write an essay and publish it in the Datang Daily. When the time comes, I can debate with Ma Zhou on the same stage."
The other assistant teachers and professors also echoed, "Yes, it would be best if you can debate with Ma Zhou on the same stage!"
"Yes, yes!"
Assistant Master Mou replied, "I also have the same idea, but I don't know how to publish it in the Datang Daily. Why don't we read it together? "
"That's a good idea!"
…
A moment later.
"Shocking! The Murderer Is So Deranged that He Killed the Whole Family! "
"Why did this essay start to use vernacular? There's no literary talent at all? "
"Indeed, it's really disappointing, but the content of this essay is very interesting!"
"Well, maybe this Ma Zhou deliberately used vernacular so that ordinary people can understand it."
After the nine teachers finished reading the first article, they couldn't help but discuss the huge change from classical to vernacular.
"Drunken Scholar Met the Courtesan of the Brothel and Did Such a Despicable Thing!"
"Chang 'an Marquis Rushed to Widow Zhao Zhuangyi's House in the Middle of the Night for This Reason!"
"Shocking! A Woman Did Such a Thing in Broad Daylight! "
However, the following three pieces of news left everyone dumbfounded.
"I thought this Ma Zhou was a refined person. I didn't expect him to be so vulgar!"
"Yes, the titles of the following articles are exaggerated and vulgar. It's really a disgrace to the refined!"
"As scholars, how can we be so shameless?! It's really abominable! "
The voices were almost one-sided. Almost all of them condemned Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou had changed from a handsome and virtuous person to a refined scum that everyone condemned in speech and in writing.
Only Assistant Coach Mou and Wang Yalun didn't say anything. After the others finished criticizing, Wang Yalun said with a smile, "I don't think so. As the saying goes, great vulgarity is great elegance. The difference between vulgarity and elegance is just a matter of thought. It depends on how you look at it. The wording of these few articles is not flowery. The entire article is written in plain language. This old man guesses that this section is mainly written for those who are barely literate and have not studied the meaning of poetry. If that is the case, these topics are really not ordinary. This Ma Zhou is a true wise man! "
"Why do you think so, Brother Yalun?"
"Yes, why are these titles extraordinary?"
Wang Yalun looked at Assistant Coach Mou and said with a faint smile, "Assistant Coach Mou, you seem to have some ideas. Why don't you tell us your opinion?"
Assistant Coach Mou straightened his back and said in a deep voice, "I think Ma Zhou wrote these titles on purpose. Professor Wang had previously said that these articles were written for the common people to read. Hence, these titles were even more pleasing to the common people and would make them even more interested in reading them. I think this is Ma Zhou's cleverest part. He is elegant when he needs to be, and vulgar when he needs to be! "
Wang Yalun clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Assistant Coach Mou is right. I think so too. Let's continue reading! "
Wang Yalun was the most experienced person here. The others couldn't refute his words, so they continued reading.
"'Shocking! Shocking! Men Will Fall Silent, Women Will Cry! "
Everyone was gradually getting used to these exaggerated titles, so they didn't make a fuss this time. However, when they saw the content, they were all shocked.
"Huh? Datang Daily is collecting manuscripts from everyone? "
"It's not limited to men or women, and the pay is very generous?"
"This is a very novel idea!"
"Dr. Wang, do you want to send your masterpiece to this strange culture to try?"
"That's right. Professor Wang, your essay on the Confucian classics is flawless!"
Wang Yalun was quite tempted when he heard this. He didn't care much about the pay from Ququi Culture, but who didn't want their essays to be read by the world?
"My fellow colleagues are right. Please excuse me for a moment. I'll go write an article and debate with Ma Zhou!"
After that, he cupped his hands and left hurriedly with the others.
