Chapter 102 An Xin Refuses to Accept Students

After dealing with the matters at the farm, An Xin and his companions stayed here for another two days. Only after they hunted a wild boar and a deer did they return satisfied.

General Liu and Doctor Su looked at the delicacies they sent and knew their intentions. The two elders did not say much and accepted them tacitly.

Although my care for An Xin and other teachers and students comes from the bottom of my heart, who doesn't like someone who knows how to be grateful?

For Mr. Liu and Mr. Su, the value of the item is not important, what matters is the thoughtfulness.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and An Xin has been having an exceptionally wonderful time these days.

In order to avoid the relentless pursuit of General Yuchi Yong, the men sent by Prince Nanjun's Mansion, the third-rank General Zhengdong Gao Feng, and the fourth-rank General Anbei Chen Gang, she almost crawled into a rat hole.

An Xin hid in the warm room of the Liu family next door, lying lazily on the soft couch, eating cold and white peeled melon seeds.

"Alas!" An Xin sighed, "When will this day end?"

Li Ziyu looked at the woman who was eating melon seeds with a look of despair on her face, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

He said coldly, "What's the problem? They want to send their son to you as a student, and you don't want to refuse."

An Xin rolled his eyes to the sky.

Didn't she refuse?

Not to mention the subtle hint from the beginning that I would not accept any more students.

In the end, she made it clear that apart from recruiting students for her own academy, she would not accept any more disciples.

But those people seemed to be collectively deaf and pretended not to hear. They brought all kinds of treasures to give to her as gifts for their son to become her apprentice.

An Xin covered her chest with her hands, looking painful. If she had not been determined, she would have been tempted by the treasures sent by various families and nodded.

"Cousin, why don't you just accept them? Look how sincere General Yuchi and his men are."

An Xin narrowed her eyes and looked at An Rui: "How do you know they are sincere, you little bastard? Did you accept their stuff behind my back?!"

An Rui was startled, his eyes flickered, and he stammered, "No... No, I would never dare to do such a thing."

An Xin: "Speak human language."

"Just...just, he invited me to the largest restaurant in the capital and listened to a few storytelling performances."

An Xin looked at the others.

When I returned to Beijing recently, each family sent me gifts of thanks.

Jiang Chenxi also fulfilled his promise and lent them the books from Lord Cheng'en's collection for them to read at will.

Zhu Shijing met An Xin's gaze and knew what she meant, so he shook his head and said, "Don't look at me. I will confiscate the treasures sent by those families to corrupt me."

An Xin: "You still have a conscience."

The others also shook their heads, saying that they had stuck to their bottom line and were not lured in by the families.

Jiang Zhou looked at An Xin from head to toe with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

An Xin glared at him, threw the melon seeds on the small table into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them.

Then he said: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"

"Tsk," Jiang Zhou sneered, "I was just wondering, after General Yuchi learned that you were the headmaster of the academy, why did he resolutely send his own son to be your student.

Logically speaking, his son would not choose the path of a civil official. The same was true for several other families. They were a group of sons of military generals who wanted to take the imperial examinations to become civil officials.

Unless they are like Ah Xing, who doesn't want to inherit the achievements of his ancestors and start from scratch, the emperor will not allow a military general to have a civil official.

We all understand this truth, let alone these officials who have been in the officialdom for so many years.

If that's the case, why do they insist on you accepting their son as a student?"

An Xin glanced at Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, and could see from their eyes that they were fully aware of what was going on.

Then he turned around and saw a few big fools with blank eyes. He shook his head in disgust and explained their confusion:

“It’s hard to say about the Gao family, a third-rank general, and the Chen family, a fourth-rank general. It has been a long-standing tradition for scholars to look down on warriors.

It was very difficult for a third or fourth rank military officer's family to hire a decent teacher to teach their children.

This is also the reason why military families often produce some arrogant, domineering, ignorant of etiquette, or even vulgar and dissolute young men. "

An Xin stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and continued, "But given the status of the General's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion, they should be able to invite good scholars to be teachers for their children."

The reason why they are so determined to be a teacher for their sons is probably because those idiots are so naughty.

Ordinary teachers could not suppress them at all. It was only then that she, a female headmaster, was able to control Jiang Zhou, Liu Boxing, An Rui, Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai, and Zhu Shijing.

Since these six people were educated so well, they wanted to send their arrogant son to her as a student.

I'm afraid I'm not trying to teach them some profound knowledge, but mainly to help bend those seedlings that are about to grow crooked into straight shape.

Liu Boxing thought that as a descendant of a military general, he was lucky to have met a good headmaster who taught him, a useless and not very smart one, to be what he is today.

Every time he passed the exam, my grandfather would say that his meeting with the headmaster An Xin was a great honor for his family’s ancestral graves.

Hearing that the generals couldn't find good teachers, Liu Boxing felt a little touched, so he said, "Why don't you take them in, little headmaster?"

An Rui thought of the young master of the Nanjun Prince's family. He had lived with him for a night. Although he was a little spoiled and domineering, he felt that his nature didn't seem to be that bad.

"Cousin, why don't you take them in."

An Xin casually threw an unshelled melon seed into his mouth, and heard the sound of the seed being cracked open.

"Pah!" He spat out the melon seed shell.

An Xin squinted at them with disdain.

“It’s already a headache to teach a few of you.

I am so depressed that I want to recruit a few more little bullies to torture myself."

"What's wrong with us? We are very obedient~" Jiang Zhou's voice became weaker and weaker after meeting An Xin's half-smile.

An Xin pretended to think: "When was the last time you were hit on the palms with a ruler?!"

Jiang Zhou pursed his lips and turned his head away, no longer prepared to pay any attention to this hateful woman.

"It seems like half a year ago, we all skipped classes to watch the Fairy Festival to see how pretty the girls dressed up as fairies were." Liu Boxing answered stupidly.

If you are shot at by the other five people and you don't say anything, no one will look at you as a mute.

Liu Boxing touched his nose and quietly moved behind An Xin. Did he say something outrageous? Why were his fellow apprentices looking at him so cruelly?

"Stop bullying the honest people and go read the book you borrowed from Duke Cheng'en's mansion."

An Xin got up from the couch and rubbed his white fists. "If any of you dare to mess up in this exam, I'll beat you up."
