Is it polite to be in the third year of high school every year for ten years?
Xu Yanmiao rushed into the office of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Please tell me I'm not here!"
He left this sentence and went into the inner hall. Passing by his own desk, he directly hugged the official documents in his arms and ran away quickly.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were confused.
Another official stood up from his chair: "Xu Lang, what is this..."
Xu Yanmiao could no longer hear this question.
After about a dozen breaths, Quan Yingzhang's figure appeared outside the Ministry of Personnel: "Is Xu boy here?"
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were a little surprised, but they immediately realized that Xu Yanmiao should be hiding from Lord Quan.
An official coughed: "Xu Lang is not here..."
[Well! It seems that it's okay to hide here! And Lord Quan shouldn't come in directly to search, right? 】
It was almost silent inside and outside the government office, except for the bells under the eaves that were tinkling in the wind.
The official who answered the call coughed again and said, "Mr. Quan, are you looking for Mr. Xu? What's the matter? Would it be convenient for me to tell you?"
Quan Yingzhang swept his eyes around the Ministry of Personnel, and no one dared to look him in the eye.
"Well... sorry to bother you." Quan Yingzhang thought for a moment and handed the book in his hand to the official: "This book must be handed over to Xu Yanmiao."
After getting the official's answer, he turned around and left.
After a while, Xu Yanmiao secretly poked his head out: "Quan..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard another knock on the door, and Xu Yanmiao retracted his head again. It was like anemones in the water, shrinking into a small ball when stimulated. The one who knocked on the
door was Ji Sui. After learning that Xu Yanmiao was not there, he also left a notebook for the officials to pass on.
Afterwards, he saw Quan Yingzhang not far away.
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in the sky.
Quan Yingzhang's eyes changed slightly: "Ji Sui, don't you see that the boy from the Xu family is avoiding you? He hates the modern literature school so much, why are you so rude?"
"Mr. Quan is joking. Xu is young and promising, and is highly regarded by the emperor. Even if he doesn't see him for two or three days, it is common. How can he avoid you? Could it be that when Mr. Quan was young, he didn't see the host three or two times, whether he was studying or visiting others, and he got discouraged? How can you be so frivolous and hold the reins?"
Ji Sui was completely merciless.
What a joke. If he was a gentleman and talked about etiquette, the modern literature school would have been squeezed back home by the ancient literature school to farm after countless disputes between ancient and modern times.
Ji Sui was already hiding something behind his back, and Quan Yingzhang also mocked him directly: "A common thing? Last night, the Xu family kid ran faster than a rabbit towards you, but he was getting close to me all the way. His attitude is so clear, could it be that Master Ji still has some fantasy?"
Ji Sui narrowed his eyes and secretly scolded Quan Yingzhang for being shameless.
And getting close to him all the way? You are an old man in your eighties, almost nineties, and you fell down in front of Xu Yanmiao. How could he not help you and send you back to the Quan Mansion!
The leader of the literary world is so shameless to plot against a young man! It's just bullying him because he is only in his forties. If he is also in his eighties or nineties... cough.
But Ji Sui thought of Xu Yanmo's lazy nature, and asking him to study was harder than climbing to the sky. He was afraid that all the tests and hints from Quan Yingzhang along the way were in vain, and he must be very angry...
Quan Yingzhang: "What are you laughing at?"
Ji Sui smiled slightly: "Ji was happy when he thought of Xu Lang's kindness in helping Quan return home last night."
Quan Yingzhang knew Ji Sui was going to kill him. He definitely guessed the inside story and decided to use some tricks to spoil Ji Sui's heart: "I heard that your adopted son got up early to stand by your door?"
Ji Sui's smile froze and his tone became cold: "I have sent people to investigate him. If he is found to have done something wrong, the contract will be invalid."
Quan Yingzhang: "It's okay, it's still valid now, he is still your son now."
Ji Sui: "..."
*
【Wow...】
【Mr. Ji and Mr. Quan actually parted on bad terms. 】
Xu Yanmiao stayed in the Ministry of Personnel and did not dare to show up, but the system kept updating the gossip about Ji Sui and Quan Yingzhang, which also allowed Xu Yanmiao to grasp their movements.
As he was watching, he felt a lot of eyes on him. He turned his head and found that his colleagues quickly turned their heads away. The action was very uniform, even military training was not so uniform.
"You guys..."
"Ahem." An official came over and said, "Xu Lang, Lord Quan and Lord Ji came to find you one after another, why did you hide from them?"
It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, these people immediately heard wailing -
[Too terrible!!!]
[They actually tried to make me study again! I passed the imperial examination!!!]
[Trying to make college students go back to the third year of high school, is this what human beings do! Xu Yanmiao
reached out and pulled out the chair on his desk, sat on it, and said, "They heard that I don't have a school yet, and they hope that I can choose one to join."
Combined with his thoughts...
the officials who asked the question were not only heartbroken, but their eyes were sore: "Lord Ji and Lord Quan, do you want to teach you in person?"
Xu Yanmiao just said "yes", and an official shouted excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for, Xu Lang, choose one to join! They are the leaders of modern and ancient literature! In the future, you will inherit their legacy, and thousands of students will follow your annotations to the classics. Maybe in the future you can even be honored as 'Zi'!"
Bai Ze is indeed in a superior position, but they can't become Bai Ze.
For them, becoming a literary master, holding the reins, and being praised as "Zi" is the ultimate goal of coming to the world.
Unexpectedly, when he said this, Xu Yanmiao reacted even more.
[No, no, no! Following my annotations on the classics, isn't this misleading the students?]
The official said cautiously: "As long as Xu Lang wants to learn, I think the two masters will definitely teach him everything they know."
Then there will be no misleading students.
Then Xu Lang complained in his heart very familiarly: [If you don't want to mislead the students, you have to study for at least ten years, right?]
[Ten years, every year in the third grade, is that polite?]
The officials present were extremely anxious. After hearing Xu Lang's nonsense, they just wanted to figure out what this "senior year" was that made Xu Lang so afraid of studying!
If the "senior year" could transform people, they really wanted to slap the "senior year" several times!
*
Xu Yanmiao complained in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from answering the officials openly.
As for the phrase "teaching you everything I know", Xu Yanmiao recalled the pain of senior year, and the bitter taste of the strong tea in the thermos cup seemed to still remain in his mouth. He smiled politely: "That makes sense - I will think about it carefully. The school's affairs cannot be sloppy."
A group of officials: "..."
Xu Lang, you have changed, you can even practice Tai Chi!
Who corrupted the innocent Xu Lang two years ago!
Xu Yanmiao looked down and saw two books on his desk: "This?"
"Mr. Quan and Mr. Ji asked us to pass it on."
Xu Yanmiao picked up the book and read it carefully.
An official blurted out subconsciously: "You are not..." and
was immediately grabbed by the sleeve by another person. Before the other party asked questions, he lowered his voice and said: "Xu Lang's attitude has always been very good."
Even if he didn't want to join any school, he would respect Quan Yingzhang and Ji Sui, and would not just throw the books they gave him into the cabinet to gather dust.
*
The two big guys gave him an annotation of the classics of their respective schools.
If the original classics may have 2,000 words, then the annotations can be at least 20,000.
One of them is "Book of Rites".
Xu Yanmiao flipped through it. "Confucius said: He who is at peace and benevolent in his heart is the only one in the world." "The Doctrine of the Mean says: The state of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness before they are expressed is called the middle." "The middle is the middle before they are expressed, and it is still inside the heart. Therefore, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are still in the middle before they are expressed."
