Chapter 057: It’s better to do one good deed than to talk about it all day
"The court is where students for the imperial examinations go." The purpose of studying is to seek fame and success, otherwise what is the purpose?
"Then you should choose to be with someone like Lord Lu."
Xie Jian sneered: "You like him very much?"
"Not only me, but also my sister-in-law and the people of the whole city like him very much. Such a good official who serves the people deserves to be liked." This was the first time that Shen Heng expressed her opinion so directly.
Xie Jian met Chen Heng's clear black eyes and sneered: "If he had walked the same path as me, would he still be such a good official worthy of people's love?" He didn't believe it. He was afraid that this Lord Lu would have difficulty taking even a single step.
"Ajian, we can't always be stuck in the past. Once we take the wrong path, there's no way back."
"I've always thought about quitting, and I won't regret it." He needs to be strong.
Seeing the gloom on Shao Ge's face again, Shen Heng felt complicated. She wanted to give him a hand, hoping that he could take another path. At least, not murder talented people, bring disaster to the country and disrupt the people, as recorded in history books, and cause so many people to die.
I really can't pull it for the time being.
At this time, the two had already left the yamen.
When he came to the Yamen again, both his state of mind and his identity had undergone earth-shaking changes.
It feels so good to be able to walk in so easily.
Just as the two were about to step into the side hall, they heard Xie Cui's puzzled voice from inside: "Sir, why did you accept Xie Jian into your school, but not me and Xie Kang? We have a letter of recommendation written by the president of Jiyang College."
"Sir, we are both very confident that we are much better than Xie Jian. He has only studied for a few days in the academy."
Lu Ji'an's unhurried voice echoed, "Although Xie Jian only attended elementary school for a few years, he never neglected his studies. Furthermore, he would never belittle anyone in front of me."
"Sir, we are not belittling him, we are just unwilling to accept it. Why don't you accept us?" Xie Kang said unhappily, "How can we be inferior to him?"
Chen Heng was just about to hear Lu Ji'an's evaluation of Xie Jian. In fact, she was also quite curious, but Xie Jian walked in at this moment.
Bowing to Lu Ji'an, Xie Jian looked at the two people from the same clan and said coldly: "My two brothers, since the master is unwilling to accept you into the hall, please don't embarrass the master anymore."
Xie Jian's sudden entry made Xie Kang and Xie Cui feel a little embarrassed, but these words made them feel a little angry.
Could it be that Xie Jian wouldn't even say a good word for them?
"Please come in, brothers." Xie Jian made a gesture of invitation.
As scholars, both of them were shy. After being rejected by one and driven away by the other, they left with a grim look on their faces.
"Lord Lu." Shen Heng hurriedly saluted.
Lu Ji'an nodded: "Madam Shen is here to see Xie Jian off, right?"
"Yes. My sister-in-law was worried about Ajian's studies in the academy, so I said that since the master is here, there is nothing to worry about." Shen Heng said with a smile.
Xie Jian glanced at her.
"I've only been to the academy three days ago. If he had fallen behind in his studies, I wouldn't have brought him to the city to investigate." Lu Ji'an looked at Xie Jian with admiration after saying this. "He's learned everything just by organizing his books at home. His talent is so high that it's rare among other students."
"It is Ajian's blessing to be able to study with an adult." Chen Heng really hopes that such a good teacher can influence Ajian, even if it is just a little bit.
