"What's going on?"
"You're asking us what's going on?"
Yu Shinan was so angry that his beard was trembling.
He pointed at the white paper that Zhang Feng was making cigarettes with and said with a pale face, "This paper … Alright, you know more about paper than we do. But Old Man wants to ask you, do you still want your Academy? Three years, you only have three years. Why do you think Old Man and the others came up the mountain? I just want to see if the Nine Grand Scholars that you talked about can appear here! "
"Old Man thought that you were just bragging about this paper. Who would know that you can really produce so much paper in a day? Now, the Academy will officially open in a month or so. Look at you now, you're sloppy all day. How much paper do these students need every day? Have you prepared all the things that the students need to go to school? "
Zhang Feng was asked three times in a row by Yu Shinan and didn't know what to say.
Weren't you all doing well before?
What's wrong with you?
Zhang Feng felt a headache coming on.
"Dear teachers, I also want to wait for this white paper to come out. After you use it and are satisfied, I'm going to tell you about it."
"Since all of you are so considerate of my Academy, then I'll tell you my plan!"
Yu Shinan and the others automatically filtered out Zhang Feng's words about what would happen after they were used.
From the moment they came up the mountain, they didn't give Zhang Feng a chance to talk about it. Now that Zhang Feng said so, they reacted.
"Bring me a brush and ink!"
Yu Shinan waved his sleeves and looked at Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He touched his nose and slowly took out a brush and ink and put it on the tea table in front of Yu Shinan.
Yu Shinan didn't hesitate. He took out a few pieces of white paper that Zhang Feng had cut for cigarettes, dipped it in ink and wrote a line of words. Then he hurriedly stood up and stood under the lamp to carefully observe the changes of the ink.
They stared at the paper in the flickering candlelight with their eyes wide open, but they were silently keeping track of the time.
After ten breaths.
Yu Shinan took the paper from under the lamp, dipped his finger in some saliva and pressed it on the paper. There was no ink at all.
Yu Shinan didn't believe it and wiped the paper with his sleeve.
He still couldn't wipe the ink off.
Their pupils couldn't help but flicker fiercely under the candlelight again.
After they checked the ink on the paper, Yu Shinan said with satisfaction, "We have checked the paper. Now let's talk about the serious matter. How do you think we should do it?"
While speaking, Yu Shinan lit a cigarette.
The cigarette, which was as thick as a little finger, went out one by one under the lamp.
Zhang Feng coughed and said, "Dear teachers, I have some opinions about the teaching of the Academy. I wonder if you can listen to me?"
But before he spoke.
Sun Simiao coughed and interrupted Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng glanced at Sun Simiao, who rarely spoke about the Academy. He couldn't help thinking, "Didn't he just give me the paper?
Could it be … "
But Zhang Feng still said respectfully, "Please enlighten me, Mr. Sun!"
Sun Simiao touched his beard and smoked. He looked up and down at Zhang Feng and then said, "You are a very smart person. In the future, your achievements will reach a level that the Old Man can't imagine. At this time, although you haven't entered the palace to meet the Emperor, the Old Man knows that the Emperor favors you very much. This is your luck. The Old Man won't say anything more."
"Now, you've created so many things in one go. Just like what you said before, it's easy to break if you're too rigid. Remember, don't be arrogant because of your talent. Now, you're not only the dean of the Academy, but also a great Confucian scholar and an official of the imperial court. You have to set an example for everything. As a minister and a student, you have to remember one thing, that is, steadiness!"
"Even if you are smart, if you don't, your achievements in the future will be limited. It will even be difficult for you to become a great person."
Zhang Feng blinked.
He really couldn't understand at the moment. He hurriedly asked, "May I ask, Mr. Sun, how am I not steady?"
Hearing this, Sun Simiao smiled faintly and shook his head.
This brat was still trying to pick a fight.
Sun Simiao, Yuchi Gong, and the others laughed and said, "You still dare to ask? The Old Man asked you. You once boasted that you could become nine Grand Scholars. Isn't that enough? Right now, the White Deer Academy has basically become the place where the eyes of everyone in the world gather. You should be even more careful with your words and actions. Others won't say anything if you say it after you've achieved your goal. But if you say it three years ago, in the hearts of those who have ulterior motives, you're simply too rash! "
"How can you do such a laughable thing?"
"There are actually people who want to laugh at me?" Zhang Feng was instantly unhappy and cursed in his heart.
In fact, this kind of thing was common in any era. After all, those who couldn't eat grapes would always say that the grapes were sour.
Thus, Zhang Feng revealed a confident smile. "I think my image is quite good."
Yu Shinan and the others couldn't bear to watch any longer.
They hurriedly interrupted.
"Alright, alright. You brat, stop arguing. If you want to continue, what can we do? Remember, we are all experienced people. What we say is for your own good! "
Zhang Feng pursed his lips.
He didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Yu Shinan asked contentedly, "Then tell us now. What plans do you have for the college? It would be best if it can be decided by tonight. That way, we won't have to waste our time on this mountain."
Fine!
