"That's a bunch of nonsense!"
The young man was enraged by Jiang Pengji's words. It was hard for him to maintain his elegant demeanor.
Jiang Pengji snorted. She looked at Master Yuanjing and then at the young man named Zude. She mocked, "You said that I'm talking nonsense, but why don't you take a look at what's in your head? The sage said that the people are more important than the king. If the king is like this, how can the gentry be more important than the people? You said that I rely on my ancestors, but you can argue with me here because you have a good ancestor, right? "
Jiang Pengji did not like the young man named Zude. She realized that not only did he have the heart of a saint, but he was also retarded.
The young man was speechless. Jiang Pengji spoke again, but this time, she was not talking to the young man. She was asking Master Yuanjing.
"I thought that Master Yuanjing was famous, so he should be very careful when he accepted disciples. How could he be so old and blind that he accepted such an extreme and stubborn blockhead as his student?" She did not hide her disdain for the young man when she said that.
This time, the young man was so angry that he couldn't even speak a word. His face was flushed red.
He did not care how Jiang Pengji attacked him, but he could not let her implicate his respected teacher.
Master Yuanjing was not angry. Instead, he looked at Jiang Pengji meaningfully.
"Humans are not perfect. Even saints are like this, let alone ordinary people. As a teacher, you need to know that teaching is not discriminatory. Then you can teach, teach, and solve doubts. Although Zude is wrong, he has his merits. How can you just look at one side and deny everything about him? If what you said is true, Langye Academy should be empty. I'm not a perfect teacher, and I'm not qualified to be a teacher. "
It was because of his shortcomings that he needed to learn. It would take more than one or two days to correct, not to mention a well-formed temperament.
Master Yuanjing said calmly. There was even a smile on his face that made Jiang Pengji feel uncomfortable.
If one had to describe his smile, it would be "cunning"!
Master Yuanjing was respected by the people and the students. It was not only because he fought for the three cities from the royal court of the north borderline when he was young, nor was it because he was knowledgeable. More importantly, it was because he treated his students equally!
Whether it was the son of a noble or the descendant of a peddler, in his eyes, a student was just a student. He would not look up to a student because he was outstanding or had a noble background, nor would he look down on a student because he was stubborn or had a lowly background.
As long as their nature wasn't bad, their roots weren't rotten, and there was still room for improvement, then they were worthy of his careful guidance.
Jiang Pengji said, "You're quite protective."
Mister Yuanjing said calmly, "Zude's nature isn't bad. He's just a little paranoid, but he can still change."
Jiang Pengji squinted her eyes and said, "Oh." She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the two people who were still in the hot spring and did not dare to come out.
"In your opinion, what do you think about these two people?"
When she asked this question, many people who were watching the show pricked up their ears, and the person in question even had his heart in his throat.
Being targeted by Liu She meant that they were not fated to be officials, but if Mister Yuanjing praised them, there was still a chance!
Mister Yuanjing suddenly smiled. He raised his hand and stroked his gray beard. His eyes were a little bright.
It was said that one's eyes could reflect one's true age. Mister Yuanjing took good care of himself, but he still looked like he was in his thirties or forties. His eyes were clear and bright, with a deep wisdom. It was impossible to guess his real age just by looking at his eyes.
Mister Yuanjing had seen people who held grudges and aggressive people, but it was rare to see someone like Jiang Pengji. He said, "Looking at his behavior, he has a dignified appearance and is made of gold and jade. Looking at his inside, he has a belly full of rubbish and is rotten inside. Are you satisfied with this answer, Langjun? "
Liu She alone would not let the two young men have an easy time, but she dragged him into this mess.
She was trying to push them to the edge of death.
Really, she was evil, he thought.
How could Mister Yuanjing not see that he was being used by Jiang Pengji?
But he did not like to be calculative with the younger generation, so he did not expose her.
Mister Yuanjing's evaluation was like a bolt from the blue to the two young men's ears!
Although they were in the warm hot spring, they felt like they had fallen into an ice cellar. A terrifying chill spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
Liu She had cut off their path to fame. Mister Yuanjing's evaluation was enough to make them lose their footing in Dongqing.
Jiang Pengji smiled with satisfaction. Her eyes were slightly curved like the bright crescent moon, which was similar to Mister Yuanjing's.
"I drank too much just now. Please forgive me if I offended you."
Mister Yuanjing shook his head helplessly.
She was taking advantage of the old man's age, but he was not blind. He could see clearly whether Jiang Pengji was really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
"It's okay. It's just that drinking hurts the liver. It's better for young people to drink less. Zude, let's go. "
"I'm sorry, Master. I was rude today, so you were put in a difficult position by a kid …"
After leaving the waterside pavilion, the young man named Zude hung his head low like a rooster who had lost a fight. He was unhappy.
Mister Yuanjing folded his hands in his wide sleeves. His footsteps were leisurely as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
"Zude, look at that young Langjun. What do you think of him?"
The young man turned his face away. He was still angry. "He has a sharp tongue and a bunch of crooked reasoning."
Mister Yuanjing did not comment. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?"
The young man was speechless. He could not say anything else for a long time.
Mister Yuanjing sighed and said, "You were blinded by anger and resentment, which affected your judgment. This is a taboo for a strategist. You can't judge a person by his appearance. You have to observe his words and actions carefully. You have to find out the reason behind it … Otherwise, even if that young Langjun is a dragon among men, you won't be able to see him … Isn't it a pity? "
He spoke calmly. His tone was like he was talking about family matters and not lecturing a student.
The young man was not convinced. "Did you say that the young man is a dragon among men?"
Such a high evaluation?
Mister Yuanjing stopped and turned his head to smile at the young man.
"Not even one in a million."
The young man was speechless.
"It's just that this person is too stubborn and easy to break. His temper is so flamboyant. It's easy for him to get into trouble." Mister Yuanjing pondered and sighed. "He's like a piece of unpolished jade. Although he has natural beauty, he hasn't been carefully carved. People don't know his inner qualities, so they treat him like a stubborn stone …"
More importantly, she had the mandate of an emperor, but she was a girl.
Mister Yuanjing secretly raised his eyebrows when he thought about that.
The old man was not blind. He could tell if Jiang Pengji was a boy or a girl.
Since Mister Yuanjing was so sure about Jiang Pengji, the young man could calm down no matter how unconvinced he was. He looked at her objectively.
He muttered and felt slightly wronged. "I'm blind. I only see that this person is arrogant and bullying the weak …"
Mister Yuanjing smiled like a naughty child and teased him.
"So, I'm your teacher, and you're my student."
The young man was speechless.
