Tutor Liu took the bill.
When he turned around to leave, he came face to face with Mr. Lu who had not left yet. Both of them were slightly stunned.
"It's you!"
"It's you!"
They spoke almost at the same time.
Then, Elder Lu smiled and bowed, saying, "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby. I'm so sorry."
Taifu Liu's face flushed slightly, but he said with equal enthusiasm, "Yes, I never thought you would have this hobby. I respect you as well..."
Neither of the two old men wore court robes.
His hair has turned white.
But when their eyes met, they seemed to be able to smell a hint of Mars.
but.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two old men didn't say much.
After one person said something, they exchanged a perfunctory bow, waved their sleeves, and returned to their carriages...
As soon as Master Liu returned to the carriage.
He was greeted by the gazes of two good friends.
"What's wrong?" Tutor Liu sat back in his seat.
There were two old men sitting on both sides of the carriage. They were the old masters of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College. They both looked at the bill in Tutor Liu's hand with confusion.
"Brother Liu, why are you suddenly interested in this kind of gambling?"
"Yes, I remember that you have never disdained this kind of thing. Why did you suddenly..." Mr. Qu from the Imperial College was really confused.
In fact, Taifu Liu was just impulsive.
Just when the carriage arrived here, he heard the shouting of the people outside, all of which were voices that looked down on Yang Huaijin. He couldn't help but think of that arrogant young man, and how he had said in front of him that he wanted to make a bet with him, saying that he wanted to be in the top three and become his student!
He couldn't help but stop the carriage.
I pledged all my money...
In fact, looking at the bill in his hand at this moment, he still didn't quite understand why he acted so impulsively.
"Maybe... that kid has some skills." Tutor Liu suddenly said.
This made the two old men smile.
"Brother Yun Huai, you probably don't know yet, but I heard that Yang Huaijin's talent is mediocre. He only passed the provincial examination by luck. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be qualified to take the exam this year. With such knowledge, how could he possibly get into the top class?"
"Yes, although he is a loyal and righteous man who protects his sister, he is indeed a bit cruel. I heard that he likes to use his sword to cut people's hair and threaten others. It was him who chopped down the gate of the Shen family. This kind of person is really... uncivilized and does not act like a scholar..."
The two old men said with a smile.
The look on his face, which showed that he was certain that Yang Huaijin would never pass the exam and that he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, made Master Liu frown for the first time.
Somehow.
For the first time, he felt the urge to refute his two friends: "That's wrong."
“As the saying goes, don’t despise the young and poor!”
"And what did Brother Qu just say about what a scholar should be like?"
"Elegant and refined? Humble and polite? Talking about etiquette, morality, and ethics all the time? That's what a scholar is?"
"Or is it that those who are lazy, unable to distinguish grains, and unable to even tie a chicken, and who can only talk nonsense, can be called scholars?"
"Or are we like us? Those who are high and mighty, without seeing the truth, and who casually judge others based on hearsay, are called scholars?"
The two old men were stunned.
It was unclear why Grand Tutor Liu suddenly became so angry that he demoted them all.
"Brother Yun Huai, what are you doing..."
Taifu Liu raised his hand to stop his friend from speaking, took a deep breath and said, "Old Qu, Old Huang, don't you think that our vision has become short-sighted and narrow over the past few years?"
Short-sighted and narrow-minded?
them?
"Thinking back to the past, we too went to the battlefield with the late emperor, wielded pens and used swords. What lofty ambitions we had back then!"
"Now, Yang Huaijin only drew his sword to protect his sister, and he touched a few strands of the evildoer's hair. Is that considered disrespectful? Is that considered uncultured? Is that considered uneducated?"
"Old Qu, Old Huang, I feel so ashamed!" After Tutor Liu finished speaking, a trace of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the two old men, and then they blushed unconsciously.
"Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
"If a person cannot even protect his own sister and relatives, or is indifferent when his sister is bullied, how can such a person talk about managing his family, governing the country and pacifying the world? It would be better for him to take off this human skin and become an animal." The last sentence of Taifu Liu was so sonorous and powerful.
The two old men's faces turned completely red.
If the three of them had not been friends for many years.
The two old men felt that Master Liu's last sentence was pointing at their noses and scolding them like beasts!
Is it that serious?
Is Yang Huaijin... really that good?
But seeing the rare frown on Taifu Liu's face, the two old men couldn't help but touch their noses and said slowly, "Just now...I made a mistake in my words."
"Yes, Brother Yun Huai, please don't be angry. It's us who are too narrow-minded."
Tutor Liu wanted to say more, but when he saw the expressions of his two old friends, he stopped talking awkwardly.
As he passed by the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, a sentence suddenly popped up in Taifu Liu's mind: "...with a pen you can write about the world, with a sword you can protect your country."
At this moment, Tutor Liu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Looking forward to... Yang Huaijin really getting into high school.
Even if he didn't make it into the top three, maybe he could still accept him as his student...
A student with such a bad temper.
