The three angry corrupt scholars!

[Tsk tsk, these old-fashioned people are going to be pissed off, right?]

Quan Yingzhang glanced over there.

That's true, do you think they can still laugh?

*

They can't laugh, but after they calm down, they can still curse.

"No matter how eloquent you are, you can't avoid the fact that you and your female disciples swam naked!"

Today they want to discredit this great scholar and put the blame on him.

Tongxin Daru looked at these people coldly, his tone was sarcastic, and he hit them directly in the sore spot: "Your ugly deeds are obvious. You want to frame me in an unjust situation, which only shows your despicable and shameless nature. You slander people with evil words, and you are already the object of everyone's spit. Your reputation has become dung, and the world sees you as (evil) (pbc) (party). You intend to ruin the innocence of my disciples, but you can only ruin your reputation. You are stupid, worse than pigs and dogs."

Xu Yanmiao clapped in his heart, but it was a pity that Tongxin Daru did not have an official position, so he could not feel this admiration.

And Tongxin Daru's sharp words angered those tall hats and big belts.

They were furious: "Tongxin, you and your female disciples have behaved improperly, and it is well known to everyone. You are still trying to cover up the truth by making excuses here."

The old-fashioned leader looked at the female disciples again and said smugly: "I advise you to return home as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be difficult to marry in the future. For a family like mine with a clean family tradition, I will never allow my wives and concubines to enter my house unless they are well-versed in women's studies and have virtuous temperaments..."

Xu Yanmo: t【Wuhu! Famous scene! Get ready! Three, two, one!】

Quan Yingzhang, Princess Xiangyang and those who hold official positions in the ancient literature school are very curious.

What exactly is a famous scene?

Then, two tender female voices rang out one after another, as if they had mustered up great courage: "We like Tong Daru's articles very much, and we also want to be Tong Daru's students!"

Everyone turned their heads at the same time.

The others were still confused about who the two women were. The old-fashioned man who led the group, wearing a tall hat and a big belt, couldn't catch his breath and almost died on the spot: "You...you..." His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and after a long time, he said angrily: "What are you doing!"

[You are my concubines! How can you side with other men! Have you been cheating on me for a long time! Have you been cheating on me for a long time! Have you been having an affair with Tong Xin, the old man! ]

Xu Yanmiao was angry at the old-fashioned man in her heart.

On Quan Yingzhang's side, several people couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, because of Lao Guban's defensive reaction, even Lao Guban himself felt that they were making fun of him.

His face suddenly became darker. There was a hint of sickly red in the black.

Probably because, the ones who jumped out were his two concubines.

If the concubines became Tong Xin's female disciples, combined with the previous naked swimming incident, wouldn't he be cheated on? ! It's okay

to make up stories about others, but if this excitement comes to himself, the rumors can't be tolerated. So not only can he not promote the rumors, but he also has to find a way to dispel them? He

cursed on the spot: "Bitch! You are a traitor! Do you think Tong Xin is a good thing!"

Xu Yanmo couldn't help but: [What you said, I am just your hired concubine, the worst thing is to pay you the penalty for breach of contract, how can it be considered a traitor? 】

It is popular in this dynasty to hire concubines, and the length of the contract depends on the individual. However, it is usually signed for three years, and the contract can be renewed after three years, or the couple can go their separate ways.

Ordinary concubines usually get 3,500 yuan per month. And those concubines who can compose poetry, sing songs, and play musical instruments get 8,000 yuan per month.

Don't think this is a "job". Because generally speaking, concubines don't get paid, and most of those who get paid are parents who sell their daughters to be concubines.

- Of course, those who sell themselves are excluded. A woman who sells herself can get a salary from her master.

【Moreover, Tong Daru's words "There are differences in knowledge, and there is no difference between men and women" can inspire them. They wrote to Tong Daru, who also supported them in their pursuit of learning and encouraged them that the Great Dao does not distinguish between men and women,

and that they should study hard. After three years, when the contract is lifted, they can pursue the Great Dao. Xu Yanmiao glanced at the two women holding hands. They were obviously timid, but they insisted on standing in front of Tong Xin Daru, regardless of the fact that they still had a contract. The old man was still their lover.

It was quite touching: [Perhaps Tong Daru has been regarded as a confidant by them.]

Although he would not watch two innocent girls die in front of him, the two girls did not know that in their eyes, they were willing to stand up at this time to protect their confidant.

——This is probably what it means that a scholar dies for his confidant.

Among the group of Confucian scholars who were stirring up trouble, there were also officials in Beijing, but they were just minor officials.

The official had a strange look on his face when he heard Xu Lang's thoughts. He couldn't help but reveal this shocking gossip: "This... maybe..." He said to the old man: "Looking at how familiar these two ladies are with Tong Yaoru, maybe... they have been communicating secretly for several years?"

After saying this shocking gossip, the official's anger was no longer blocked. Looking at the shocked eyes of the people around him, and the amazed eyes when they looked at him and analyzed him, the official felt like a cloud after being exposed to the sun, warm and soft, and immediately understood Xu Yanmo's happiness of sharing melons.

As for the life and death of the old man, he no longer cared.

Old fashioned man: “…”

For years, for years, for years…

He kept repeating these words in his mind, as if someone had reached out and slapped him in the face. The old fashioned man’s face turned black, then blue, then red, with traces of the color palette changing. He didn’t know if it was because he didn’t breathe properly, but a mouthful of blood spurted out, more spectacular than waves and clouds.

"Vomiting blood!"

Princess Xiangyang almost laughed in a muffled voice: "Why is he vomiting blood? He is so angry, shouldn't he be angry to death?"

Xu Yanmiao: "It's okay, it's almost over."

Princess Xiangyang: "Huh?!"

Xu Yanmiao: "Cough cough cough, I mean, he is so angry, it looks like he is almost angry to death."

Princess Xiangyang looked at him meaningfully: "So that's it."

Over there, in order to prevent the two ladies from getting into trouble, Tongxin Daru paid to break their contract and let them regain their freedom.

Xu Yanmiao laughed

He didn't like hiring concubines, which objectified women, but he was happy that the two women could regain their freedom.

The old conservative was really old and strong. He was still able to withstand the blows, turning his grief into strength, and angrily scolded the young scholar for not setting a threshold when giving lectures. Was he worthy of the scholars and gentry who sponsored him?

The young scholar suddenly said, "It's good."

The old conservative: "What's good?"

The young scholar's voice regained his gentleness and calmness, and even seemed to be friendly. He patiently answered, "My threshold is set."

The old conservative: "What?"

Under the guidance of the young scholar, he turned his head and saw that there was an extra threshold at the gate of the academy where the lectures were given.

Real threshold.

The threshold was high on one side and low on the other. The low side was similar to that of an ordinary family, while the high side was enough to reach the waist of an adult man.

It was a very strange threshold.

Tongxin was considerate and said, "In the future, ordinary people will step in from the low side. If you think the threshold is too low, you can all climb in from the high side. It's appropriate for young and old^_^"

Tongxin said to his disciples, "Come on, all of you step over it."

So the disciples happily stepped over the threshold.

Tongxin turned around and said to the old man, "Gentlemen, please step over the threshold." The

old man, who was nearly 80 years old and leaning on a cane, had been scolding the old man for half an hour. He was already trembling and trying to find a chair to sit on: "...you!"

Don't go too far!

"Still think the threshold is not high enough? No problem. Just climb it a few more times!" The young scholar climbed over the threshold by himself, and then climbed back by himself, and then climbed over again, and then climbed back again, and waved to call a few disciples to climb over together, and climbed back together, healthy and cheerful, with a smile on his face: "I will show you a demonstration first!"

The old man pointed at them, his fingers and voice trembling together: "You... are so shameless, so shameless!"

Xu Yanmiao: [Ah, as expected, the nature of human beings is a repeater. ]

"Puchi——" A few people who could hear the inner voice laughed again.

The old man's face became redder and redder, until it turned purple.

Finally -

"Ah!"

After the grief, another mouthful of blood came out. I don't know if this is what he wanted. The old-fashioned finally fainted and didn't have to face all this trouble.

He also didn't have to face some annoying laughter:

"Hahahaha--"

"Hahahaha--"

The laughter went straight to the sky.

I'm afraid the old-fashioned people will vomit blood for the third time after hearing this.

Oh, who knows, if the old-fashioned people knew that they, a man and a woman, were eating at the same table together before, even if they were about to faint, they would still raise their hands and tremble and point at them, cursing: "It's against morals." Thinking of

this, Xu Yanmiao laughed even louder.

[I wonder if they found out that a married man and a woman were openly interacting with other families, or that the male host of that family was receiving them, they would be so angry that they would die? 】

Xu Lang thought anxiously.

[But if they knew that there was a married lady who had a deep rapport with a poet and even gave him clothes she had made herself, and if the lady's husband knew about it and was happy that his wife had a soulmate - wouldn't he be furious if he knew about it?]
