Chapter 8 Have you had enough trouble? If not, get out. Come back in when you have.
Hearing Hua's words, Chu Yian breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed Hua into the building.
After entering, there are more people in sight.
Not only was the first floor packed, but countless heads were also popping up on the second and third floors, staring intently at the stage below.
Just as they found a corner to stand, they heard cheers from the whole room again.
Chu Yian was almost deafened by the shock.
Especially the man next to her had a voice as loud and unpleasant as a broken gong, and her ears still feel uncomfortable.
After the noise passed, Chu Yian relaxed and his ears were no longer so uncomfortable. Then he pulled the clothes of the person in front of him and leaned over to ask in a low voice: "Excuse me, brother, what are they doing?"
The man, who was listening intently at the sudden interruption, showed a hint of impatience on his face. However, when he turned around and saw that the person asking the question was a pretty girl, he immediately suppressed his impatience and said patiently, "The debate competition held in Zhuangyuan Building will last for three days, with a different topic each day. Today is the last one."
Isn’t this an ancient version of a debate?
Chu Yian had participated in debates before, but this was the first time he had seen one from ancient times.
Suddenly, he became interested: "So what's the topic of today's debate?"
Man: "Today, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
Chu Yian's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp: "Are you playing such a big game?"
Isn't this topic a bit too sharp? Are these scholars so fearless?
Seeing Chu Yian's big reaction, the man thought this girl was a bit interesting: "Well, today is actually not so bad. The debate the day before yesterday was bigger and the topic was more sharp. Many people didn't dare to go on stage."
Chu Yian became even more curious: "What is the topic of the debate?"
The man didn't mince words to tease Chu Yian: "The other day we had a debate about how it's hard for a poor family to produce a noble son. That was a real verbal battle, with both sides refusing to give in."
"It's quite exciting. It's a pity you didn't see it."
"Yesterday's debate wasn't that exciting. It was the most moderate of the three. Everyone was willing to speak freely."
“Flowers may bloom again, but people never become young again.”
Regret was written all over his face. Chu Yian really wanted to slap himself. Why didn’t he find out earlier that the debate competition was held in Zhuangyuan Building?
She wanted to watch the debate on the topic of "It's hard for a poor family to produce a noble son" and see how the scholars of this era understood this sentence and to what extent they dared to say it.
It seems that I can only ask someone after I get back. It should be easy to find out.
Hua stood by and looked at Chu Yian's distraught look, and suddenly felt her hands itching.
Isn’t her stepdaughter here to help her get back at her?
Why does it feel like Chu Yian also wants to join in?
She won't be like her father, that old guy, and will run to Zhuangyuan Building without caring about her family, right?
Hua gritted her teeth, reached out and pulled Chu Yian's hand and squeezed it hard.
Chu Yian gasped in pain and turned around to see that Hua's face was almost as black as the bottom of a pot, and the look in her eyes was sinister.
It was as if I was looking at a traitor, and I had the urge to execute the traitor right now.
Chu Yian took a deep breath and quickly put on a flattering smile and shook Hua's hand, indicating that she would stand by her side unwaveringly.
Hua Shi pulled his hand back and snorted coldly, not bothering to look at her, his eyes fell on the ring.
The debate was nearing its end. The two students on the stage were from Qingshan Academy and Luya Academy respectively.
The students of Qingshan Academy firmly believe that "the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
The students of Luya Academy debated from the perspective of "A tree that stands out in the forest will be supported by the wind."
This kind of debate often revolves around human nature, and as the debate goes on, it is inevitable to explore human nature again.
In the end, it almost became a debate of "Man is born good" or "Man is born evil".
If the academy's president hadn't brought the topic back in time, the two people on the stage would have probably gone further and further into the debate.
Chu Yian has participated in many debate competitions since she was a child, except that these people spoke in a very flowery manner, which made it a little difficult for her to understand.
The views held did not feel new, and Chu Yian was somewhat disappointed.
Of course, it could also be that she has watched too many debates, and most of the angles she could find have already been found by others, so she doesn’t find it novel.
But the onlookers were quite interested. Every time they heard the two students on the stage say something unexpected, they would look surprised, indicating that they had learned something.
Chu Yian began to look for Chu Xiuyuan in the crowd.
This guy has been hanging around in Zhuangyuan Building for a long time, and now he has moved to the first row and sits with several presidents of academies.
He stroked his beard, looked at the stage, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time, as if he was looking at his own students instead of someone else's.
Chu Yian was furious when he saw the elder's behavior.
You don't care about your own children but take care of other people's children. It turns out that you know the principals of several academies and your relationship with them seems pretty good.
Then why don’t you find a better teacher for your sons?
No kidding, Chu Yian even wanted to kill.
Fortunately, Chu Xiuyuan is Hua's husband and not hers, otherwise her sword might really fall on Chu Xiuyuan's head one night when she suddenly loses her temper.
People die at night, and there are more bumps on the mountain before dawn.
From then on, there was one less confused person in the world and one more nameless ghost.
At this time, the Fourth Prince, who had been sitting on the third floor and had noticed Chu Yian for a long time, raised his eyebrows when he saw her murderous look. Without turning his head, he said to Qin Sheng, who was lazily sitting on a chair drinking tea behind him:
"Asheng, look at Chu Yian's eyes. Tsk tsk tsk, I bet she definitely wants to kill Chu Xiuyuan."
"Chu Xiuyuan is her father after all. This man is really going too far and is being disrespectful."
Chu Yian is Qin Sheng's fiancée, and this identity makes the Fourth Prince very uncomfortable.
He and Qin Sheng were getting along fine, but who knew that he would suddenly have another fiancée, and they were about to get married.
Shouldn't we hurry up and apply more eye drops?
Qin Sheng didn't even raise his head, but the smile on his lips faded a little: "Really? I think she looks at Uncle Chu with admiration."
How could this be called admiration? If this were admiration, wouldn't every enemy army admire Ah Sheng?
Your ability to tell lies with open eyes is really outrageous.
The Fourth Prince really wanted to ask him to speak properly.
But when he turned his head and looked at Qin Sheng's expression, he knew that Qin Sheng was not happy about him talking about Chu Yian, and he felt jealous.
"You're already protecting her before we even get married. When will you be able to protect me like this?"
Qin Sheng opened his eyelids and looked at him: "I'm not protecting her, I'm just telling the truth."
The fourth prince was not convinced and angrily went to hug Qin Sheng. He bent down to kiss him, but Qin Sheng turned his head away.
The Fourth Prince gnashed his teeth and said, "Why, are you going to protect her now?"
"Do you think she can still see you when she is surrounded by countless handsome men?"
"Don't forget that she saw you and me making love with her own eyes. It's impossible for her to like you."
Qin Sheng's eyes flashed with impatience, and he looked at the Fourth Prince coldly: "Have you made enough trouble? If not, get out. Come back in when you have."
Fourth Prince: ...
Who's causing this trouble? Why, now I'm not even allowed to eat vinegar?
Ah Sheng really changed his mind.
No, Qin Sheng never had him in his heart...
Thinking of the Fourth Prince, he almost burst into tears, but fortunately, there was no one else in Asheng's heart.
Why is he so cold to them but so nice to Chu Yian? Qin Sheng really has no heart.
