Chapter 1280: Said to the Queen: Sister, you smell good
"What would happen if a person born in humble circumstances and one born with a golden spoon were to read the same book?"
It’s not that Li Yueyue doesn’t understand the meaning of these words.
When the students who were able to enter the Imperial College heard the debate topic proposed by Xun Siye, they immediately realized that Xun Siye actually wanted them to debate the matter between Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan.
But in a more clever way.
What would happen if a poor student born into a humble family and a noble son from a wealthy family studied in the same Imperial College?
It did not directly state that it was talking about the matter of Xiao Ansheng and Yang Liaoyuan, but it used this method to let the students discuss their own positions.
This can be regarded as the fundamental difference in the current main contradiction.
Zhao Shi, Ji Shuying, Liu Kan and others could naturally hear it, but they did not say anything. They just watched Xun Kuang come over and greet the foreign scholars, and then sat down.
However, the students heard it, but they looked at each other, and no one stood up to speak.
Li Yueyue ran to the back very quickly.
It's not that she has nothing to say.
The main reason was that what she wanted to say was not suitable for such an occasion, but was more suitable for cursing people in private.
Furthermore, I haven’t read much, so I can’t express profound truths. It’s better not to say anything.
But retreating does not mean that Li Yueyue should escape.
Instead, he protected everyone in front of him, let them debate, and let them bring glory to the Imperial College!
Li Yueyue, who was hiding at the back, pinched the small doll at her waist. The doll was modeled after the doll her mother brought back from the palace banquet for the ladies.
But this doll looks a bit like Yan Ruyu.
Mainly since that time Yan Ruyu beat Liu Kan, Li Yueyue discovered that Sister Ruyu was her idol!
So I made this doll and carried it with me.
Li Yueyue dodged back again and retreated into the crowd watching the excitement outside.
When she looked around, she found an ordinary-looking sister looking at her and smiling.
Li Yueyue was puzzled for a moment, thinking that she didn't know him, but these eyes were quite beautiful.
So he smiled back and tiptoed to look at the group of people across from him who supported Yang Liaoyuan.
The ordinary-looking sister next to Li Yueyue looked at the doll on Li Yueyue's waist in confusion, and then looked at the short girl next to her.
"It doesn't look like her at all, but I can recognize who she is." The small girl, actually Maomao, said to herself while looking at the Yan Ruyu doll.
When Li Yueyue heard this, she looked at the little girl in confusion. She was also an extrovert. When she mentioned Yan Ruyu again, she immediately looked at Maomao and asked, "Do you know who this is?"
Maomao said, "Yan Ruyu."
Li Yueyue's eyes immediately showed surprise, and she looked at Maomao with a proud look on her face: "I did a good job."
Maomao glanced at Li Yueyue and took out a small doll from her small bag.
You can tell it’s Yan Ruyu at first glance, because she has a silly look on her face and two knives hanging behind her.
"Huh?" Li Yueyue was stunned for a moment.
Immediately look at the cat.
Maomao was generous: "I'll give it to you."
Li Yueyue looked at Maomao in surprise.
"I have a lot," said the cat.
Xuanxia and the others were very skillful, and everyone in Lingqi Pavilion had made quite a few of them before.
Li Yueyue looked at Maomao suspiciously, but saw the ordinary clothes on Maomao and the bandages on her fingers.
He looked at Su Changan again.
Suddenly his expression showed realization!
Seeing this, Su Changan was helpless and asked An Xiang Maomao, "Where is your promised hidden identity? You are so high-profile, how come it is guessed in an instant?"
Li Yueyue said, "Did you make this kind of doll to support your sister's studies?"
Su Changan looked at Li Yueyue in confusion.
And Maomao nodded readily: "Yes."
Su Changan looked at Maomao and said, "You're lying without even blushing, right?"
Maomao looked at Su Changan and said, "If my sister passes the imperial examination, I won't have to suffer so much."
While speaking this, Maomao looked at Su Changan firmly and confidently.
Although Su Changan didn't know what this girl was doing.
But this is clearly it.
I'm into the role!
And that confident look seemed to be telling Su Changan, leave it to me, no one will be able to recognize who you are!
Su Changan hesitated to speak.
Li Yueyue gave Maomao a thumbs up and said, "That's amazing!"
As he said this, Li Yueyue looked at the doll he had taken from Mao Mao and sighed sincerely, "But you're really amazing. You made Sister Ruyu so similar. Where have you seen this before?"
Maomao nodded: "I've met him a few times by chance, but I'm not familiar with him."
Li Yueyue nodded, then took out some silver from his sleeve and handed it to Maomao: "Here, I bought it! How could I ask for it for free?"
Maomao blinked, but without being pretentious, he took the silver and said, "Okay."
readily!
Li Yueyue looked at the cat and felt that this person was straightforward.
After all, Mashiro had taken it, so she didn't dare to ask for it.
This makes me feel much more comfortable.
He then looked at Maomao and Su Changan and bowed, "Li Yueyue."
Su Changan bowed, thought for a moment and said, "Cui Qing."
Then he pointed at the cat and said, "Her name is Ms. Cui."
Cui.
Hearing this surname.
Maomao immediately looked at Su Changan, and the look in his eyes clearly showed that he wanted to bump into Su Changan.
But at this moment.
A handsome young man stepped out from the group supporting Yang Liaoyuan. He bowed to Xun Kuang and the others and said, "Gentlemen, I am Li Yuanzhuo."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Ansheng's team: "May I ask all my classmates, how can one who was born in humble circumstances or born with a silver spoon in one's mouth read a book?"
In this team, a female student who had washed the Imperial College's clothes exceptionally clean stood up and bowed to Xun Kuang and the others: "I am An Furong, a student, and I am honored to meet you gentlemen."
After saying that, he looked at Li Yuanzhuo and said, "Brother Li, please explain in detail."
Li Yuanzhuo saw someone coming out and immediately said, "What I want to ask is, you and I are both studying at the Imperial College today. I want to ask, you have studied hard for more than ten years, and although we come from wealthy families, haven't we also studied hard for more than ten years to enter the Imperial College?"
An Furong smiled and said, "Brother Li, everyone present today has studied very hard. None of them have cheated their way into the Imperial College."
Li Yuanzhuo nodded immediately: "Okay! If that's the case, then we were classmates to begin with, so why would we be so insignificant and share the same golden key? But today, because of our identities, we have consciously split into two factions. Why is that?"
An Furong asked back, "Brother Li, you said we were classmates, without a silver spoon in our mouth, and that there was nothing to distinguish us from each other. Yet, you keep saying that you consciously split into two factions. Isn't this the result of the subtle influence in your mind?"
Li Yuanzhuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect An Furong to suddenly act like this.
An Furong continued, "Ten years of hard study, just for a chance to pass the imperial examination. Brother Li, you were born into a wealthy family, so you don't have to worry about food, just study. But we, for our part, focus on studying, and we have to think about our daily meals. The worldly atmosphere isn't in your books, but it is in ours."
At this point, An Furong glanced at Xun Kuang and then at Li Yuanzhuo. "Master Siye asked about the difference between 'Born insignificance' and 'Born with a Golden Key' if we were reading the same book. I can tell you, it's more difficult for us to read the same book. I remember you, Brother Li, once mocked Brother Zhang for reading the sage's book about crabs having six legs and two claws. You didn't read it wrong, but instead asked, 'Why do crabs have six legs?'"
Li Yuanzhuo was stunned.
An Furong continued, "We've never seen a crab before. We only know from books that crabs have six legs. But you're different. You eat crabs all the time, so you naturally know crabs have eight legs. If you ask what to do, this is it."
"The knowledge we possess comes only from books, not from reality. You, on the other hand, are able to connect books with reality. That's why we were extremely cautious about what happened in the Imperial College, and Xiao Ansheng was even more so. However, he was framed because of his congenital illness."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanzhuo interrupted directly: "It's not a frame-up. Xiao Ansheng wrote the apology letter himself and admitted the incident."
An Furong said, "Yang Liaoyuan also admitted at the beginning that she had wronged me."
This is getting straight to the point.
Li Yuanzhuo naturally did not back down and immediately asked, "Then why did Xiao Ansheng write an apology letter?"
An Furong asked with a smile, "Then why did Yang Liaoyuan admit it was a misunderstanding at first? She's innocent, how could she change her mind?"
Li Yuanzhuo was about to speak.
A woman stepped out from the crowd and looked at An Furong: "Sister An, how could I risk my innocence to do such a thing?"
An Furong looked at the striking young lady who had come out and said, "Yang Liaoyuan, what makes us believe that you wouldn't risk your innocence to do something like this?"
As soon as these words came out.
The two sides are on the verge of a fight.
The people watching the fun were all listening quietly. Oh my god, this is off topic.
But I just want to see this!
Yang Liaoyuan looked at An Furong and sighed, then was about to speak.
An Furong looked at Xun Kuang and the others and said, "Gentlemen, I believe that even when we read the same book, we may have different understandings. Because we each have different perceptions, the content we read and the principles we comprehend are different."
Yang Liaoyuan frowned and secretly glared at An Furong who was deliberately ignoring her and instead went to talk about this matter with the teachers.
He immediately bowed to Xun Kuang and the others and said, "Gentlemen, I am Yang Liaoyuan."
After a brief pause, Yang Liaoyuan continued, "I once read the Master's commentary on the Empress's words, which included the line 'To investigate things is to correct the mirror of one's heart. To acquire knowledge is to restore the clarity of one's nature.' This resonated with me, and I felt that one should reflect on one's inner self, eliminating the obstruction of selfish desires and distracting thoughts, thereby maintaining a pure and innocent mind. Reading in this way will cultivate a noble spirit within one's heart."
As she spoke, Yang Liaoyuan glanced at An Furong. "Sister An just said that crabs have six legs and two claws. If we take this literally, perhaps the sage made a mistake. But if we look at it from the perspective of seeking truth outside of the mind, rather than looking for it by riding a donkey, can we say that the sage is telling us that the imperfections of objects are precisely when the truth is complete, that less is more, and that there is truth in error. Although we were born into privileged families, we don't necessarily have much knowledge. Sister An's statement that learning varies depending on the depth of our knowledge is not something I agree with."
"If one's heart is right, one can understand the same principles when reading the same book. But if one fails to understand them and blames the sage for his mistakes, shouldn't one examine oneself?"
When they heard Yang Liaoyuan's flower, the people behind her immediately applauded.
Even some people around were surprised.
"Bah! Nonsense!" Li Yueyue cursed secretly at the end.
Then he frowned and continued to curse, "Not only are you using the great principles that the Queen has learned to justify yourself, but you're also scolding Sister Furong and Xiao Ansheng! Pah, pah, pah!"
Li Yueyue became angrier and angrier as she spoke.
Su Changan looked at Yang Leyuan helplessly. It was indeed a fallacy because he only used the first sentence to explain and completely ignored the second sentence.
Li Yueyue continued, "If the Empress knew that her own ideas were being used by such people to justify her, she would be absolutely disgusted! When I see the Empress, I will definitely complain! I will deal with Yang Leyuan."
After hearing this, Maomao looked at Su Changan.
Li Yueyue noticed that the Cui Qing and Cui Nu sisters beside him were looking at him, and he immediately said, "Don't tell anyone else. The fact that I have a very good relationship with the Empress is a secret."
Su Changan nodded and said, "Okay!"
Li Yueyue giggled. Her life experience has never been a secret. She thought that the two sisters must know it.
In this case, there is naturally no need to hide anything, saying things like it was a slip of the tongue or something like that, it's so pretentious.
If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not.
What can't be admitted?
But the next moment, Li Yueyue looked at An Furong, who was speechless, and frowned: "I should have read more books earlier. Even if it was all the great principles of the Empress, I would have squeezed Yang Leyuan to death up there now!"
Su Changan looked at Li Yueyue and asked with a smile: "Regarding the matter between Yang Liaoyuan and Xiao Ansheng, why do you trust Xiao Ansheng so much? Is it because of Xun Siye?"
Li Yueyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Qing, and immediately said: "You don't support Xiao Ansheng."
Su Changan said: "I have been studying at home and don't understand everything yet."
Upon hearing this, Li Yueyue immediately moved closer to Su Changan, then took Su Changan's hand and said mysteriously, "It has nothing to do with Xun Siye. It's that Xiao Ansheng has squint eyes. We have laughed at him a lot. Besides, he is a very nice person. He knows me so well, but he doesn't want to be alone with me. He said that if someone spreads rumors, it will ruin my reputation. How could he look at Yang Leyuan? I am prettier than Yang Leyuan. And it's only because Sister Niuniu is not here. If she were here, she would have beaten Yang Leyuan if she knew she was up to something again. If Sister Ruyu was here, she would have beaten her too. No, Sister Ruyu would have beaten her father and her own uncle!"
Su Changan looked at Li Yueyue: "Personal opinion?"
Li Yueyue immediately said, "Of course there's evidence. The people who were with Xiao Ansheng at the time saw clearly that he was copying books. His family was poor and couldn't afford to buy books, so he copied books. How could he copy books while looking at Yang Leyuan? Who could have such ability? Many people have confirmed it, but many have denied it."
The more Li Yueyue talked, the angrier she became. But she sniffed Su Changan and said, "Sister Cui, you smell pretty good."
Su Changan saw that the girl was young, so he didn't hesitate.
Finally, you smell me?
But at this time, a woman came out from where Yang Liaoyuan was, stood beside her and said loudly, "Li Yueyue, you're chatting with others in the back, why don't you come up and debate? Wasn't it you who proposed today's debate?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone followed that person's gaze and immediately looked towards where Li Yueyue was.
As it should be.
Naturally, he also noticed Su Changan beside Li Yueyue.
