The resentment in his heart reached its peak.
The students below were divided into several groups.
Some agreed, some looked disdainful, and some would occasionally steal glances at the gentleman to gauge his attitude.
In contrast, Instructor He and Xia Xuezheng looked around with some curiosity.
I couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
The crowd moved slowly forward.
Soon it was just him and his pageboy left.
In the crowd, Shi Jingxing said with a smile, "Brother Lu, you can rest here by yourself, we'll be going now!"
After checking the time of day, he chuckled and said, "In the countryside, there are lush mountains and bushes everywhere. At midday, the sun may seem to be at its hottest, but it is actually the time when the yang energy is at its weakest. There are spirits and ghosts in the mountains, and they especially like a learned young man like you. You are handsome and have a touch of literary charm. I wish you good luck."
Lu Chengfeng glanced around and saw that apart from the pageboy, there was no one else around. The sunlight shone on the ground, distorting his vision. The lush, green mountains in the distance seemed like a monster laughing at him, giving him goosebumps.
"Help me up, I can still walk."
Xia Xuezheng: "Village head, your village actually has a school? I wonder how old the children are?"
At first, when they heard Chen Gui say that there were adults who could read in the school, they were a little confused, thinking it was too advanced.
Even in Yingzhou Prefecture, I've never heard of giving lessons to adults.
Chen Gui smiled sheepishly.
"They range in age from a few years old to teenagers."
After finally reaching the school, everyone was covered in sticky, smelly sweat, and the sound of reading aloud filled the air.
No one disturbed them; they looked through the window.
Upon seeing this, the students were slightly surprised.
The adult sitting on the left is clumsily writing with a calligraphy brush, occasionally scratching his head and frowning in thought.
The boy sitting on the right seems to be carrying something on his back.
It appeared to be a schoolteacher, dressed in a blue robe. The platform was about half a foot above the ground, with a black board on it, and he was giving a lesson.
With his back to everyone, he was writing something.
Chen Gui said with pride, "This is Mr. Zhou from our village. He is extremely dedicated to teaching and responsible. It took a lot of effort from the old man and the villagers to get Mr. Zhou to stay in our village to teach. It is a blessing for our Qingxia Village to have him."
Instructor Xu didn't take it seriously.
He was just a down-on-his-luck old scholar.
When Mr. Zhou turned his head, the scar on his forehead came into view, especially his sinister face and arrogant expression.
Instructor Xu frowned and said sarcastically, "This man has a sharp and piercing face. In my opinion, even if he has great talent, he will not be selected by the Ministry of Personnel to enter the court."
“Teaching children to read is a good thing. It would be more painful if they were truly gifted and passed the imperial examination, but were kicked out because of their unfavorable appearance. Ordinary talent is actually a good thing.”
The words were harsh, and Chen Qingshan instinctively retorted, but Chen Gui pulled him back and shook his head.
Instructor He, who had always been at odds with Instructor Xu, also remained unusually silent.
Xia Xuezheng scanned the area and exclaimed in surprise, "Colleagues, haven't you noticed that the most important thing is this person's teaching arrangements? Aren't they something we should learn from?"
