The old man saw that the two young people in front of him did not have any malicious intentions and even asked him about the enrollment of women. This was also what the old man was thinking, so his expression became much more amiable.
"The decision made by the City Lord is really very wise. I found that many female students are particularly intelligent, but they were limited by some rules and regulations in the past and did not have the qualifications to read the books of sages. I can be sure that in the future, they will definitely not be worse than some boys."
Lin Xiu and Zhu Ganghua looked at each other. They did not expect the old man in front of them to have such a high evaluation of those girls. And this also made Zhu Ganghua slightly proud. Among so many cities in the imperial court, he was the first to introduce this policy. If there were any achievements in the future, he would naturally be the first to take the credit.
At this point, the old man seemed to be a little thirsty. He untied a water bottle from his waist and took a sip, then said to the two young people in front of him, "Ordinary people like us don't have the ability to cultivate at all, so we can only leave it to you to bathe in blood and kill the enemy. But we can also contribute our strength to the continent, that is to find ways to use our wisdom to provide some strategies for you, or build the rear to be impregnable."
Obviously, from how Lin Xiu and Zhu Ganghua were able to sneak into the classroom without anyone noticing, the experienced old man could tell at a glance that these two were cultivators.
Originally, the old man thought that these two cultivators came here by accident and saw that women could also go to school, so he was a little troubled. That was why his attitude towards them was so bad. Now that Lin Xiu and Zhu Ganghua had stated their purpose, the old man was in awe.
"This old man, to tell you the truth, I am the City Lord of our Taihe City. As for the person next to me, he is a powerful figure who can make people tremble in fear with just a stomp of his foot on the continent. And this time, our policy on women's enrollment was personally proposed by the sir in front of us. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have approved this decision so easily. " Without hiding anything, Zhu Ganghua revealed the identity of the two people to the old teacher in front of him. In his opinion, the old teacher could treat these female students equally and explain the class vividly. It was really a rare talent. Moreover, Lin Xiu often brought him here to attend classes these days, so the two of them had some respect for the old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man's face was full of horror at this time. He hurriedly got up from his seat and then bowed respectfully to Zhu Ganghua and Lin Xiu. One could vaguely see that in his turbid eyes, there seemed to be sparkling tears.
"This time, the matter about women's enrollment is really a big matter that concerns the people's livelihood. On behalf of all the female students, I want to thank the two of you."
There would never be a lack of people with lofty ideals in this world. When they saw the strong inequality between men and women, they naturally wanted to stand up for it. However, their strength was really limited. No matter how hard they tried, they could not achieve the outcome they wanted. So after Lin Xiu made such an effort for them, they were really sincerely grateful.
Lin Xiu hurriedly helped the old man up. He also felt very happy to meet such an old man who was worthy of respect. Then, he pulled Zhu Ganghua and the three of them went to a restaurant together.
He instructed the waiter in the restaurant to serve some famous specialties. Lin Xiu also ordered three small pots of wine, then one old man and two young men sat opposite each other.
The old man was unable to drink and gradually became a little drunk. He got up and left the table, went to the railing on the second floor, and slapped it with all his strength. Then, with a flushed face, he was full of excitement and sang loudly there.
What the old man told them were some of the things he saw and heard when he was young. For example, there was a green-robed sword immortal who roamed the martial world with a sword and beheaded the tyrant who oppressed the people and oppressed the villagers.
He also said that there was a scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination. Because he was short of money, he could only stay under the Cold Mountain Temple on the outskirts of the capital. However, he accidentally met the daughter of a rich family, and then the two privately promised to marry each other. However, the rich family broke up the lovers, and the scholar endured hardships. A year later, he finally passed the imperial examination and openly married the daughter. After getting drunk, he became an official and became the prime minister of a country, leaving behind a good story in the world.
The old man gradually choked with sobs, and tears flowed silently down his cheeks. There was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, as if he was recalling something.
"But, but why were you killed by that bullsh * t Immortal Cultivator in the end?"
The old man suddenly fell to the ground. Lin Xiu and Zhu Ganghua saw this situation and hurriedly went forward to help him up. After paying for the meal in a hurry, they sent the old man back home.
"It seems that this old teacher of the girls' school is also a person with a story." On the way back to the City Lord Residence, Lin Xiu suddenly said to Zhu Ganghua who was beside him.
The latter was slightly taken aback, then patted his head and said to Lin Xiu helplessly, "When I get back to the residence, I will get someone to investigate the old teacher's background. But thinking about it, a poor scholar like him, whose mind is filled with the teachings of sages and sages, shouldn't have too many amazing experiences. "
Lin Xiu glared at Zhu Ganghua, then gave him a big eye roll.
"I think what the old man said when he was drunk should be true. I'm afraid that there was really something that was difficult to say back then. In the end, didn't he say that there was a prime minister who was killed by a cultivator? Since you're a native of this dynasty, I'm sure you've heard of it. "
Zhu Ganghua then understood the meaning of Lin Xiu's words and tried hard to search for information in his mind. After a long time, he suddenly jumped up and shouted to Lin Xiu excitedly, "I know, 30 years ago, there was indeed a weak scholar in this dynasty who relied on his passion and finally became a prime minister."
Generally speaking, if one did not have the talent for cultivation and just relied on their own reading, although they could become a carp leaping over the dragon gate and become a member of the officials, it was difficult to achieve such a high achievement. This showed how outstanding the scholar was back then!
"How did he die?" Lin Xiu frowned tightly. If he did not figure out the cause and effect of this matter, he always felt that there was a lump of depression in his chest that had nowhere to vent!
