An Xin transmigrates and inherits a failing academy. With all the talented teachers and promising students poached by rival institutions, she’s left with only six despised “good-for-nothings.�...
Chapter 104 To care or not to care, that is the question
"Hahaha, Boss Tang, you only want Yingniang to sing dirty jokes for you for ten taels of silver. Aren't you too stingy?" The man sitting at the table next to the fat man said sarcastically.
"Hmph, although I am stingy, I am much more generous than some people who want to marry Yingniang as a concubine with a hundred taels." The fat man and the man obviously knew each other, and the two had a heated argument.
At this moment, Yingniang, who had just finished singing a song, looked up at the second floor with red eyes and a charming look.
Just this one glance aroused An Xin's interest.
I thought to myself that there are times when I make mistakes.
When this girl just came on stage, An Xin saw her immature look and thought that she might have a compelling reason to sing in such a mixed place.
I didn't expect that the girl's eyes just now had a meaningful look. She was looking towards the second floor where there were more rich people. It was clear that she wanted to seduce a rich man.
An Xin reflected that he had underestimated the ambition of the ancient girl.
In that brief moment when An Xin was distracted.
There really was a fool on the second floor, who was attracted by those sparkling eyes and started bidding on what song Yingniang should sing below.
Listening to the quotation, An Xin felt that it sounded a little familiar.
Turn around and look.
Because this teahouse is very big, the second floor is circular and is filled with people sitting all around.
An Xin was sitting in a remote place, and from her angle she couldn't really see who was giving the quotation over there.
And it seemed like there were two groups of people, and I don’t know why they were arguing with each other.
Now no one is willing to give in and the argument starts.
"Yuchi Yi, Jiang Chenxi, don't go too far."
"So what if we went too far? You can't afford the money, so you blame us for nagging." A mean voice came from Yuchi Yi.
An Xin's ears moved, and this time he recognized who it was.
The Almighty: "I will not argue with you, a bunch of rude and uncouth warriors."
Gao Tai puffed out his chest and loudly retorted: "Humph, you little brats from civil servant families only know how to talk nonsense every day.
If the enemy comes, we warriors won't have to fight them. You can just talk them into surrendering."
When An Xin heard this, he silently gave this boy a thumbs up.
It seems that a group of boys from the families of civil officials have started a conflict with the children of military generals like Yuchi Yi.
"I...we..." The Wenguan family felt a little weak after being asked by Gao Tai.
"We don't want to discuss these things with a bunch of you who only know how to stir up trouble, shout for war and are rude idiots every day."
Yuchi Yi's eyes were filled with anger as he asked, "Who are you calling a fool?"
An Xin, who had already walked over to watch the fun, saw Yuchi Yi, an impulsive guy, shaking his fist and walking towards another table of several young men from civil servants' families.
An Xin touched her chin, considering whether she should stop them from causing trouble again, just because they kept their promise and gave her 12,000 taels of silver as a reward for saving her life.
There were more civil and military officials sitting in this teahouse drinking tea than just Yuchi Yi and the kids from the civil officials’ family.
The civil officials heard Gao Tai say that when they were fighting against foreign enemies, only their mouths were useful.
If they weren't afraid that someone would accuse them of bullying the weak, they would see if these civil servants could talk back to these rude warrior boys.
When the military officers heard the sons of civil officials say that they were rude warriors who only knew how to fight and kill, they also glared at them.
Is it that I can't lift the knife anymore, or is it that you guys from the civil service family are getting too cocky?
Since they have no relatives or friends, An Xin decided not to care about whether these brats would cause any trouble.
But when she was about to get away from this place of trouble, she heard two middle-aged men in silk clothes and with beards sitting at a table next to a pillar on the second floor.
He whispered: “As long as those guys from the military generals’ families dare to take action today.
We will go to the court tomorrow morning to report to their elders and write this in the memorial, saying that they did not educate their children well.
The young man in the family was a playboy, he spent a fortune on a singing girl, he looked down on civil officials, and he would beat people up if they disagreed with him..."
An Xin, who was about to take a step, paused.
These two are from the Censorate.
She could imagine the scene in the court tomorrow where the elders of a few brats' families would be attacked by all the civil officials and their heads would be covered with bites.
Thinking that the families of these guys were all nice and the thank-you gifts they gave her were also generous, she wondered if she should help these generals' families avoid being reported.
An Xin turned around and saw that both sides were young masters of officials. It was their first time as a human being and no one wanted to give in to the other.
They have all stood up and clenched their fists, ready to gesture.
An Xin thought of the thank-you gifts from several families, and decided to help out when he came across them.
So he walked between the two gangs of young masters and said something very righteously: "Stop! What you young men just said was all narrow-minded."

At this time, everyone in the teahouse looked at An Xin who suddenly appeared and stopped the fight between the two sides.
They all watched like they were watching a play, watching how An Xin resolved the tense and angry emotions between the two young men.
Before Yuchi Yi spoke, An Xin started to deceive people.
Her eyes were serious and firm, and her tone was sonorous and powerful. She said to the dozen or so young men on both sides: "Civilization can stabilize a country, and martial arts can stabilize a country."
“If a country is too cultural, it will become weak over time and will be easily bullied by everyone.
Conversely, if one places too much emphasis on military power and neglects culture, it will inevitably lead to a situation where there are no capable and good ministers to assist the emperor in governing the court. How can the country prosper? "
Although An Xin's words were just nonsense, they made the civil and military officials present realize something.
The confrontation between civil officials and military generals in the court has gradually become more prominent as Daqian has enjoyed nearly a decade of peace.
However, no one has ever thought about this: if the military generals become weak, and the enemy invades, can these civil officials really handle the invasion with just their mouths?
The civil and military officials who have been in the officialdom for many years are reflecting.
But Yuchi Yi, who was forced by his father to become An Xin's disciple, was very angry and wanted to find someone to vent his anger.
How could I be convinced by just a few words from An Xin?
Seeing that he was still going to fight with the group of boys from the civil officials' families opposite, An Xin did not tolerate him. He reached out and grabbed the back collar of Yuchi Yi's robe, lifted it up and walked towards the first floor of the teahouse.
Looking back at Jiang Chenxi and Gao Tai, who were standing there in a daze, as well as the other youngsters from the military commanders' families, he curled his lips in a smile and said calmly, "What are you still standing there for? Wait for me to carry you downstairs too."
"No...no need!" Jiang Chenxi reacted and said quickly.
He didn't want to be carried away in such an embarrassing posture.
Yuchi Yi recovered from his shock, struggled and roared, "You damn woman, put me down quickly, otherwise... I will kill you after I am free."
Is An Xin a spoiled child? Seeing her raise her hand and hit the dishonest Yuchi Yi on the back of the head, it is obvious that she is not.
"Behave yourself. If you move again, I'll spank you."
"You dare!" Yuchi Yi growled.
But he knew in his heart that An Xin dared to do it, and he had been spanked for being disobedient when they were racing horses on the farm last time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have run for three days as punishment without any resistance.
Thank you LiLi for the reward and the support and encouragement from the fans!!! (End of this chapter)
