It turned out that Jiang Pengji had good taste.
Master Yuanjing didn't come to help her. He was just interested in the beginner's teaching materials.
She wasn't surprised by the result.
Master Yuanjing was a highly respected teacher in Dongqing. He had taught many students for decades and had accumulated a wealth of teaching experience.
With him, the value of the beginner's teaching materials would reach another level. It would be accepted and recognized by more people.
If she spread the news that Master Yuanjing was coming to Wanzhou, it would attract more students to gather in Wanzhou.
However, Jiang Pengji had to suppress the tempting idea to avoid Master Yuanjing's dislike.
He wasn't willing to intervene in the battle between the feudal lords, so she couldn't make a decision on her own.
"Master, you must be tired from the journey. I'll ask someone to help you settle down." After the small talk, Jiang Pengji saw that Master Yuanjing looked tired. She asked with concern, "Master, you came from Langye County. It's a long journey. Why didn't you bring more people to serve you?"
"I don't care about those things. Why would I need so many people to serve me?" Mister Yuanjing smiled and said, "If I were ten years younger, I would be able to travel alone. Now that I'm old, I've become a burden. "
Needless to say, when Master Yuanjing was young, he was also a ruthless person who fought along the way.
He might be amiable now, but when he was young, he killed a few bandits.
As they were talking, there were unfamiliar footsteps approaching. Jiang Pengji looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly plump young man standing outside.
Seeing Jiang Pengji look at him, the young man was stunned. He immediately bowed respectfully.
Jiang Pengji smiled. "Senior Zude, long time no see. Why are we so distant?"
The young man's surname was Tang. His first name was Yao. His courtesy name was Zude.
He and Jiang Pengji had a bad relationship.
Back in the day, they had a conflict at Ji Shan Hot Spring in Shangjing. Tang Yao stood up for two playboys who had offended Jiang Pengji.
Of course, the conflict ended with Jiang Pengji's victory. Master Yuanjing even reprimanded Tang Yao.
Later, Jiang Pengji went to Langye to study. Tang Yao didn't like her. Although he didn't deliberately cause trouble, he always treated her coldly.
Jiang Pengji realized that he meant no harm, so she did not take it to heart.
In Jiang Pengji's memory, Tang Yao was a young man born in a gentry family. He was proud of his family background and bloodline, and he worked hard to protect this honor. From Tang Yao's point of view, Jiang Pengji was a weirdo in the circle of the gentry.
Looking at it that way, it made sense that Tang Yao did not like Jiang Pengji.
Tang Yao stood outside, hesitating to enter. The expression on his face was slightly stiff, and he did not dare to make eye contact with Jiang Pengji.
Master Yuanjing found it funny and called out, "Zude, come here."
Tang Yao hesitated for a moment, but he did not dare to disobey his master's order. He walked steadily to Master Yuanjing's side and sat down.
"Master …" Tang Yao bowed to Yuanjing, then turned to Jiang Pengji and said, "Magistrate of Liuzhou …"
Jiang Pengji smiled. "I haven't seen you for a few years. Senior Zude has become more mature."
After saying that, Tang Yao's expression slightly twitched, but he didn't dare to refute.
Master Yuanjing smiled and said, "Don't blame Zude. He was shocked too."
"Surprised?"
It couldn't be. Was her face really that ugly?
Master Yuanjing smiled and explained, "A few months ago, I received news that Lanting is a girl. Zude refused to believe it and insisted that it was slandered by others. Now that he saw Lanting in person, how could he not be shocked? Although she's a girl, she's still better than thousands of men. "
"I see. In that case, it's my fault."
Jiang Pengji recalled the three years she spent studying in Langye County and could not help but laugh.
There were probably many people who were as confused as Tang Yao.
She studied in Langye for three years. She thought she studied seriously, but in the eyes of others, she was still a model of ignorance and incompetence.
There were even people who said she was a libertine who slept with prostitutes and secretly spread the rumor that she impregnated an unknown prostitute.
Although it was a groundless rumor and there was no concrete evidence, it could be indirectly proved that Jiang Pengji's reputation in Langye was not good.
Even though Jiang Pengji had left Langye, many places still spread her legend.
When Jiang Pengji's identity was revealed, those people's faces were slapped swollen.
Liu Xi was a girl. No matter how much she slept with prostitutes, it was impossible for her to impregnate someone. As for the rumor of heartless men abandoning good girls, it was even more unfounded. The few people who liked to smear her reputation kept quiet out of fear and closed their doors.
Master Yuanjing said, "You have your own difficulties. How can I blame you?"
If there were no difficulties, who would hide their true identity for more than ten years?
Jiang Pengji smiled noncommittally.
To facilitate the academic exchange between Master Yuanjing and Cheng Cheng, Jiang Pengji moved Master Yuanjing's residence near the latter.
Just as Jiang Pengji had guessed, Master Yuanjing did not get involved in the government affairs of Wanzhou. Tang Yao, who was by Master Yuanjing's side, also behaved himself. He accompanied Master Yuanjing to visit Cheng Cheng every day. As soon as the two academic education maniacs met, it was as if the heavens had struck and the earth was on fire. The scene of the collision of ideas was like sparks and lightning. Every time the two of them talked excitedly, they would always forget to eat and sleep, as if they regretted not meeting each other earlier.
Jiang Pengji gave a set of 21 beginner teaching materials, but in Master Yuanjing's eyes, something was still missing.
Cheng Cheng respected the big shot in the educational world. If Master Yuanjing said something was missing, there must be something missing.
However, the two discussed for a few days, but they could not grasp the inspiration.
Until Jiang Pengji visited them by chance.
She heard Master Yuanjing and Cheng Cheng's doubts and said carefully, "The six skills of a gentleman are divided into rites, music, strategy, mathematics, calligraphy, and archery. The soldiers in the military camp are divided into different categories, such as infantry, cavalry, archers, and crossbowmen … So on and so forth. The beginner teaching materials naturally have to be carefully classified to differentiate the difficulty, from easy to difficult. If all the content is mixed up and taught to the students at the same time, it will be too complicated. Secondly … even the teachers can't distinguish which students are good at. If they can't even distinguish this, how can they teach in accordance with their aptitude? "
Master Yuanjing and Cheng Cheng were suddenly enlightened. They seemed to have broken through a bottleneck. Countless inspirations burst forth in their minds.
The two of them gathered together and got busy again. They were so engrossed in it that they forgot everything else. They directly put Jiang Pengji aside.
Jiang Pengji was speechless.
Seeing the strange glint in their eyes, she secretly broke into a cold sweat for the students who would use the teaching materials in the future.
No one paid attention to Jiang Pengji. She stayed for a while and was ready to leave.
Tang Yao stood up to send her off.
Tang Yao deliberately lagged behind and followed behind Jiang Pengji.
Before entering the door, Tang Yao said, "Magistrate Liu, I have a question."
Jiang Pengji stopped and looked at Tang Yao. "Senior Brother Zude, please ask away."
