"Why don't you let me go to listen to Ding Anbo's lectures?"
A cry of surprise came from the gate of the Jixia Academy. Sima Che tilted his head and saw a large group of people being driven out by the guards.
"I've already told you all this. This class was designated by Earl Ding'an. It's for merchants and students all over the world. You didn't understand it after entering here. Don't you understand?"
"I'm also a businessman. You're discriminating against me. I'm going to see Earl Ding'an and file a complaint against you!"
The bailiff chuckled, "Yes, yes, you're a businessman too. You're a dung collector, so what? Zhao Er, you bastard, I'm telling you, if you make trouble again, I'll arrest you and throw you in jail for five days based on that incident of you molesting Widow Li last year!"
That bastard Zhao Er suddenly fell silent, and the group of people were finally driven out while shouting.
"There are only a thousand seats available for this lecture. Fellow villagers, it's not that I'm not allowing you to attend, but it's truly difficult for Earl Ding'an to teach a class! Earl Ding'an is a very busy man, and he's managed to spare half a day. This class must be of great value."
I understand your feelings, but please also understand us. After the lecture, Ding Anbo's lecture content will be posted this afternoon. You can take a look then. As for how much you can comprehend, that depends on your luck.
Everyone, please return quickly and return the academy to a quiet place so that Earl Ding'an can teach a class in peace. I, Ning Yuchun, would like to apologize to everyone and ask for your forgiveness!
Ning Yuchun was also standing on horseback. He clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, and the group of people who had been driven out from Shuxiang Avenue finally quieted down.
They left the academy unwillingly but helplessly.
"Hey... I ran in here before dawn, thinking I could get in, but I was kicked out anyway."
"That's nothing. I came here at ugly hour and squeezed to the door of the auditorium. Isn't it the same?"
"Forget it, forget it. The Jinling government office did the right thing this time. It's going to be posted anyway. We'll go take a look then."
The Avenue of Books was finally cleared. Ning Yuchun personally stood guard at the gate of the Jixia Academy. Watching those who left, his heart gradually settled down.
This kid... really made me tired!
I don’t know who leaked the news, but if this guy wants to do these things again in the future, he has to do it in private.
The remaining people outside were basically merchants and students from the Yu Dynasty.
The news that only students from the Business School could attend the Jixia Academy caused many students to clamor for transfer to the Business School, causing Li Chunfeng a lot of headaches.
"Miss, this Earl Ding'an... is he really that powerful?"
"I don't know either. I can just listen to his lecture later."
Xiao Xing'er nodded, looked up, and tugged at Sima Che's sleeve, "Miss, that seems to be the eldest young master of the Wangsun family in Bianhe, Wangsun Wuya, the one who came to our Sima Mansion last year."
Sima Che curled his lips and didn't look at him. "He's just a second-generation rich kid, far inferior to his brother Wang Sun Wuji."
Xiao Xinger glanced at Wang Sun Wuya, her heart suddenly tightening. She tugged at Sima Che's sleeve again and whispered, "He's here."
Wang Sun Wuya was walking towards Sima Che with a smile on his face, accompanied by three young men. He bowed and said, "I didn't know that Sister Che also came to Shangjing..."
"Do I need to report to you that I'm coming to the capital?"
This sentence almost choked Wang Sun Wuya to death. He smiled awkwardly, "Sister Che..."
"Please call me Miss Sima, or just my name."
A stern look flashed across Wang Sun Wuya's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Miss Sima is as straightforward as ever. Let me introduce you to three friends. This is Lu Xihui, the eldest son of the Sangxiang Lu family. This is Zhong Jitang, the second son of the Linzi Zhong family. This is Yu Xingjian, the third son of the Linzi Yu family..."
As one of the five great commercial families of the Yu Dynasty, they all had some business dealings with each other. Sima Che had also heard of these people's names. Her eyes swept over the faces of the three young men, and she bowed gracefully, changing her stern expression when facing Wang Sun Wuya just now. She said with a smile, "I have long heard of your great names, gentlemen. I am honored to meet you."
Is this Sima Che, the eldest daughter of the Sima family?
She is indeed a person who looks like an angel!
The three young men's eyes lit up, and they all bowed in return, "We've heard of Miss Sima for a long time, and seeing her today, we're truly astonished by her beauty!"
"Your Excellency is too kind. How can I accept this honor?"
At this time, the team began to move forward. Wang Sun Wuya was annoyed and said, "The five major business families have gathered in Jinling. I'm hosting a banquet at Sifang Tower tonight. Let's get together... Sima Jue of the Sima family is here too. This is a deal. Miss Sima, please do me a favor."
Sima Che smiled slightly, "Sorry, I'm busy!"
At this moment, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
Sima Che and the others looked up and saw a carriage parked outside the academy, with a young man walking leisurely towards them.
He is Fu Xiaoguan!
Minister of Commerce of the Yu Dynasty!
Wofengdaotai!
Earl Ding'an, Fu Xiaoguan!
Sima Che's eyes lit up, and he saw Fu Xiaoguan with a very happy face. Accompanied by two great scholars, Shangguan Wenxiu and Li Chunfeng, he raised his hand and greeted the dark crowd.
In an instant, the crowd became excited and cheered loudly!
"Mr. Ding'an!"
"Master Fu!"
"Oh my god, I really saw Uncle Ding'an!"
"How the hell are you so excited, man?"
"Men can't admire men?"
“…”
Wang Sun Wuya and others also turned their heads to look at Fu Xiaoguan, as if there was a hint of cunning in his every move.
Zhong Jitang sighed and said slowly, "Ding'an Bo is an extraordinary man. He fought in the southwest and imprisoned the Xue bandit in Jianmen City. With a single song of Chu, Xue's army collapsed without bloodshed..."
He shook his head. "Young men like these should be role models for us, examples of lifelong learning!"
Sima Che was immediately interested when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Zhong, are you serious?"
Zhong Jitang nodded. "I'm afraid the court hasn't yet publicized the deeds of Marquis Ding'an. Young Master Yu also knows about it, and the news has already spread throughout our Jiannan sect. If Marquis Ding'an hadn't quickly eliminated the thief Xue, we wouldn't have been able to reach Jinling via the Jinniu Ancient Road."
Wang Sun Wuya suddenly smiled. "Since ancient times, reports of victory from the front lines to the imperial court have always been exaggerated. This Earl of Ding'an is about the same age as us, and his poetry and prose are indeed excellent, but when it comes to marching and fighting... I guess it's General Fei who is so skilled. His going to the front lines is probably mostly for gilding. Otherwise, how could he have been promoted again in such a short time?"
Sima Che frowned slightly, and a few words floated out of his mouth: "Frog in the well!"
