Chapter 506: Provocation
Tang Si acted coquettishly like Ne Zha from the Hundred Thousand Whys.
Ji Yunshu did not look at him and only asked, "Why don't you go find Mo Ruo and ask him to accompany you?"
"Don't mention him. Didn't I just kick him during the day? He was angry with me the whole way here. When I went to find him just now, he directly closed the door. You see, I'm his savior. How can he treat his savior like this? I shouldn't have saved him at that time and let him be killed. "
"…"
"Ah Ji, come with me for a walk. I'm so bored in the room that I'm going to fall sick."
She grabbed Ji Yunshu's sleeve and gently shook it.
Ji Yunshu felt helpless and looked outside. Although it was night time, the lights outside were as red as the lights of tens of thousands of houses. The rain had also stopped, so she thought for a moment and nodded.
"Okay!"
That was considered a yes!
Tang Si happily pulled her out of the door.
Mingshan Academy was indeed very big. During the day, it was quiet and comfortable, but at night, it was warm and beautiful. On the winding stone path, there was a red lantern placed every ten meters. The light shone on the bluestone slabs, the shade of the trees, and the redwood. The light intertwined and intertwined, giving off an ancient charm.
The two aimlessly wandered around the academy.
Along the way, they did not meet a single student.
Tang Si was puzzled, "Where the hell did all these people go?"
Ji Yunshu suddenly recalled that the little boy who brought her food said that a class was being held in the front courtyard. Mingshan Academy was so famous, so the students must have benefited a lot from their lessons. Therefore, the students must have gone to listen to the class.
If she continued walking with Tang Si, it would be even more stuffy than inside the house. It might even be a little noisy.
So, she simply pulled Tang Si over.
Inside the class.
The students sat upright with their backs straight. In front of them was an open book, and next to them was an inkstone that had already been milled with ink. Their gazes were fixed on the teacher on the podium, and they listened very seriously. Their eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
On the desk, an elder sat cross-legged. He squinted his eyes and shook his head. He was talking about filial piety.
"As for filial piety, it has been said since ancient times that filial piety is the most important of all. The rites of filial piety are related to one's parents. The Book of Filial Piety by Mencius once said that rites are the first to be carried out. Among the hundred schools of thought, the father is the heaven, and the mother is the earth. But filial piety comes first. Therefore, filial piety is a virtue, a kindness. You must remember it in your heart and practice it.
His voice was deep and thick, but it became softer and softer as he spoke. His head drooped lower and lower.
This teacher was hired by Teacher Yu with a hefty sum of money a few days ago. Although he could not be considered a holy teacher, he was a famous teacher in the Bingjing region. Eight or nine out of ten of his students had passed the imperial examinations. Although he was not as good as Teacher Yu in terms of literature, Teacher Yu thought of "teaching from many different schools" and "seeking the best from the best". Hence, he invited this teacher over to teach so that his students could learn from other teachers.
To put it bluntly, he and the school had invited a famous speaker over to give a lecture so that everyone could listen and learn.
While the teacher was speaking, the students at the bottom of the classroom listened attentively until the teacher stopped speaking …
He fell asleep!
A few impatient students moved a few times, stretching their necks and twisting a few times, loosening their muscles and bones.
One of them, a boy with small eyes and a small nose, turned around and saw Ji Yunshu standing outside the class. He quickly nudged Lin Shu, who was beside him, and leaned over. "Lin Shu, look."
Hmm?
Lin Shu frowned, angry at him for disturbing his study. He looked back impatiently in the direction he was pointing at and saw Ji Yunshu and Tang Si.
"What are they doing here?"
"I don't know."
"Teacher has already given them enough face by letting them stay here, but now they still dare to come to this class."
Anger!
The boy with small eyes leaned towards him and revealed a sinister smile. "Lin Shu, it's all because of those people that you were punished by Teacher. Do you want to …" take revenge?
Before he could finish, Lin Shu raised his hand and gave him a heavy knock on the head.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Don't be rash. I don't want to be punished to copy the 'Ode of Poetry' again. My hand is still sore." Lin Shu said as he twisted his wrist.
It hurts!
The boy clutched his head in pain. "Then what should we do?"
"Wait."
Thus, the two sat down and waited for an opportunity.
In any case, Lin Shu had to take revenge.
The teacher sitting on the podium lowered his head for a long time before he raised it again. His small eyes narrowed and he muttered a few words. He probably couldn't take it anymore. He closed the book in front of him and tucked it between his arms. Then, he propped himself up and walked towards the door behind him while holding his robe.
"You guys, go read your books and learn about filial piety. This year's general examinations might be about this topic …"
His voice was low and his words dragged out even longer than Teacher Yu's.
Until he disappeared into the door on the left.
After the teacher left, the students in the classroom continued to read their books. However, Lin Shu smiled devilishly and strode towards the door with the people he usually hung out with.
Actually, when the teacher left, Ji Yunshu also wanted to leave. However, she saw Lin Shu staring at her as he walked over. She simply stood there and waited.
She wanted to see what that brat wanted to do!
"Teacher Ji, right?"
Sure enough, Lin Shu had already figured out their identities.
Ji Yunshu modestly bowed. "Yes."
Lin Shu sneered, "The person with the surname Jing who was with you was full of literature and philosophy in the pavilion. His words were clear and logical. Looking at you, fair and clean, you have the temperament of a scholar. I presume you're not bad, right?"
His voice was very loud.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of the crowd. Those who were originally packing up and returning to their rooms came to join in the fun.
Ji Yunshu smiled. "This humble one is a boorish person. How can I compare to you guys? You are all students of Mingshan Academy. Moreover, you are among the top candidates who will be going to the capital to take the examination soon. There must be some outstanding people among the top three. This humble one cannot be compared to you guys, so I won't display my slight skill in front of an expert. "
After listening to her, Lin Shu took two steps forward and stood there with his brows slightly raised. A treacherous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He said, "Teacher Ji, you look humble on the surface, but the words you say … are not humble at all."
