Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Expulsion
Jiang Lanfang was not completely ignorant of what had happened in the academy recently. In fact, he knew a lot of things.
Whether it was Li Yunfei's slander against Xu Yunfan or Xu Yunfan's cooperation with Qi Xiu Ze and others, Jiang Lanfang knew everything about it.
However, he only knew that Xu Yunfan was cooperating with the Qi family, but he had no idea what kind of business they were cooperating on.
After Xu Yunfan "tricked" him last time, Jiang Lanfang was so angry that he laughed. He gave Xu Yunfan dozens of taels of silver before he bought the chalk.
Jiang Lanfang is the dean after all, so he is very magnanimous. Even if Xu Yunfan dares to play tricks on him, he will just stand by and watch.
Due to some selfish motives, he "turned a blind eye" to Xu Yunfan's affairs, and only rushed over "anxiously" every time Xu Yunfan solved the problem.
Jiang Lanfang could still tolerate what happened in the past, after all, Xu Yunfan was really too young. However, he became the teacher of Qingfeng Academy at the age of seventeen, a position that other teachers had spent dozens of years to reach. Anyone would be jealous and envious.
He couldn't protect Xu Yunfan in everything and at all times. Xu Yunfan had to grow up, otherwise Qingfeng Academy would not be suitable for him.
The other teachers treated Xu Yunfan in the same way, but at least they did it openly, unlike Li Yunfei.
What Li Yunfei did was truly a disgrace to the spirit of Qingfeng Academy.
Didn’t you hear what that man and Xu Yunfan said just now?
Is this how the sages' books teach him to be a good person? Or is it that his teacher failed in his teachings?
Moreover, if no decision is made in this matter, will there be other people who do not know the truth of the incident who will believe everything they hear? If then, what will happen if Xu Yunfan's reputation is ruined?
After some thought, Jiang Lanfang looked at Li Yunfei, who had collapsed to the ground with his legs limp. "How dare you target the teacher in the academy and do such a trivial thing? It seems that the teacher of our academy is not worthy of your attention. In this case, you can go back. Qingfeng Academy will just pretend that you are not a student."
Li Yunfei: "..."
It's over, everything is over.
President Jiang has spoken personally, who would dare to plead for him?
Li Yunfei subconsciously looked at his teacher and the village chief, but the former shook his head regretfully and looked away, while the latter only glanced at him, then looked up at the sky and the earth, and no longer looked at him.
The blow was so great that Li Yunfei rolled his eyes and fainted.
Several men from Dali Village standing nearby were stunned.
No, isn't this punishment too severe?
The Qin family's men were just shocked by this and had no other emotions. Li Yunfei was expelled from Qingfeng Academy. Let's see how he behaves in the village in the future.
What's more, why did he have to target Xu Yunfan when there were so many people he could target?
Should!
It was Village Chief Sun and Li Hui's father who hesitated and wanted to say something, such as saying that Li Yunfei's crime was not so serious. But as soon as this thought came to their mind, what Xu Yunfan had just said flashed through their minds again.
Want to plead for Li Yunfei?
What identities and qualifications do they have to plead for Li Yunfei, and why should the dean give them face?
Another thing is, if they pleaded for Li Yunfei, where would that put Xu Yunfan?
As they are both members of the Li family, Li Hui's father used to regard Li Yunfei as the pride of their Li family, but Li Yunfei obviously does not regard them as clan members.
In that case, why would he beg for favor on Li Yunfei's behalf?
Not to mention Village Chief Sun. Without his keen eyesight and brains, he would not be able to be the village chief. After some thought, this man can be said to have perfectly demonstrated that silence is golden.
Finally, considering that they were from the same clan and the same village, Li Hui's father packed up Li Yunfei's things. Village chief Sun called Sun Wu, and they worked together to lift him onto the ox cart. Not daring to stay any longer, they said goodbye to Xu Yunfan and left quickly.
As for the incident where Li Yunfei was brought back to the village while unconscious on the ox cart, and when the villagers and the Li family heard that Li Yunfei was expelled from Qingfeng Academy, and how Aunt Li cried and made a fuss, let’s not talk about it for now.
Take Xu Yunfan for example.
Xu Yunfan, who was called out for tea by Jiang Lanfang, curled his lips, thinking that Jiang Lanfang was going to blame him. Before Jiang Lanfang could speak, he said innocently, "This is not my fault. I am also a victim. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame me for being too outstanding. Even if I did nothing, just going there would make people jealous. How can you blame me for this?"
Jiang Lanfang, who hadn't said anything yet, said: "..."
It's so shameless.
"Can you have some shame?" Jiang Lanfang held his forehead. What can he say about Xu Yunfan? He is good in everything except that he is too confident. Once he opens his mouth, no matter what the matter is, no matter whether it is big or small, he always indirectly praises himself.
It’s no wonder that such a person always has the self-confidence that “I am the best in the world” and nothing can defeat him.
"Doctor Meng has come here many times. Do you know this?" Seeing Xu Yunfan touching his face, Jiang Lanfang was afraid that he would brag about himself again, so he spoke first.
Xu Yunfan shook his head. "Who is it? I don't know him. Why would he look for me? I don't think I've offended this kind of person."
Jiang Lanfang choked, "They're looking for you, can't they be here for something else? Or have you gotten into trouble again outside?"
again?
Xu Yunfan was unhappy when this word was used here. "Dean, look at my face. Am I the kind of person who would cause trouble? I really don't know this Doctor Meng."
Jiang Lanfang glanced at Xu Yunfan and thought to himself, look at that face of a man, how come his face is more delicate than those rich boys and girls in Beijing?
Thinking this way, Jiang Lanfang did not forget to tell Xu Yunfan about Doctor Meng. "Doctor Meng wants to learn a few techniques from you. Of course, if these medical skills cannot be passed on to others, then this matter will not be mentioned. He said that if it is suitable, he can become your disciple, or give you a suitable stipend."
At first, Jiang Lanfang was unwilling to take the lead in this matter. He wanted Xu Yunfan to study hard and take the imperial examination.
But faced with Dr. Meng's heartfelt and tearful confession, Jiang Lan was shaken.
Officials serve the people, so can't doctors also serve the people?
Doctor Meng said, aren’t there many women who die every year because of malposition of the fetus?
And there are those who drowned. Every summer, aren’t there many young children who drowned in the surrounding villages within a few miles?
And there’s the snake venom. Are there fewer villagers who die from poisonous snake bites every year?
Quite a few.
Doctor Meng has done the statistics and found that in Qingling County alone, hundreds of people died every year due to these three things.
Although this number is not large, it was brought under control after County Magistrate Zhou's diligent publicity efforts.
Every summer is the most troublesome time for County Magistrate Zhou. Some villagers are stubborn and refuse to listen no matter what he says.
Every year he would send yamen runners to each village to work with the village chiefs to do various tasks, such as preventing snake and insect pests, and preventing young children from drowning in the water. After several years of attention, the villagers finally established the corresponding awareness. Otherwise, in previous years, not only would young children go into the water, but even adult men would want to soak in the water whenever they had free time.
In recent years, there have been fewer drowning deaths in Qingling County, but they do exist.
Doctor Meng also thought a lot. He told Jiang Lanfang that no matter whether Xu Yunfan's method of saving people is effective for everyone, if it is effective, then being able to save a life will not be in vain for his many attempts to seek a meeting but being rejected.
It was because of this sentence that Jiang Lan decided to have a chat with Xu Yunfan.
Xu Yunfan hummed.
As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Even if it was not someone he saved personally, Xu Yunfan would naturally be happy if he could save more people because of the method he taught him.
"It's not some kind of medical skill that's been passed down in my family and can't be passed on to outsiders. If he wants to learn, I can teach him for free. However, I might be quite busy these past few days. If Doctor Meng comes looking for me again, please let the dean know. When I'm free, I'll go to Jishi Medical Clinic to see him."
Hearing this, Jiang Lanfang was extremely satisfied but also somewhat disappointed. "Since we've talked so much, let me ask you one more thing. Have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination?"
"I have thought about it. I will take the examination for the status of a student next February." Xu Yunfan has already thought about the imperial examination.
"February next year? In that case, you still have time to go to Dr. Meng?" Studying medicine is not something that can be mastered overnight. By then, where will Xu Yunfan get so much time and energy?
"Yes." Xu Yunfan was not worried about these things. He took a sip of tea and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to become a Tongsheng student. The exam will be held in February next year, so there is plenty of time. Dean, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will go back."
"have."
Seeing Xu Yunfan get off the stool, Jiang Lanfang hurriedly told him about the academy competition.
Jiang Lanfang heard from Xie Baizhou and the others that Xu Yunfan wasn't interested in this competition. Jiang Lanfang wanted to train Xu Yunfan, so he could only pay a little price. "If you participate in this competition and win first place for our school, I will definitely not let you down. What do you think? Do you want to consider it?"
"What?"
Xu Yunfan sat back down again.
If we talk about other things, he might not be interested, but if we talk about money, he will be very excited.
Jiang Lanfang sneered at him, "Are you obsessed with money?" The man's eyes lit up when he mentioned money.
Xu Yunfan laughed! "Look at what you said! I don't like it. The dean doesn't know the suffering of us poor people. Besides, doesn't the old saying go, 'People die for money and birds die for food?' Who in the world doesn't love money?"
"As the old saying goes, treat money as dirt." Jiang Lanfang sighed and shook his head.
"That's all bullshit. If you starve the person who said that, try it for a few days and he won't think that way anymore." Xu Yunfan didn't take these things seriously before, but what happened later?
A copper coin can make a hero fall. Without copper coins, he can't even eat meat. Who can still regard money as dirt?
Xu Yunfan didn't want to continue discussing this with Jiang Lanfang, so he urged, "Tell me quickly, if I win first place, what's the reward?"
Xu Yunfan was still smiling when he returned home. If Jiang Lanfang could do what he said, he would be considered a person with both a house and a car.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Run sat at the dinner table and saw Xu Yunfan not eating properly and giggling from time to time. He secretly found it funny and put the fish meat with the bones removed into Xu Yunfan's bowl and said, "Can you tell me?"
Before the relationship between the two of them developed further, Qin Run used serving chopsticks to pick up food for Xu Yunfan. Later, Xu Yunfan was unhappy about it. He thought that they had kissed countless times and he had eaten so much of Qin Run's saliva, but Qin Run had to use serving chopsticks to pick up food for him. What kind of magic was this?
Qin Run is so nice. He even picks out fish bones for him when he eats fish. It seems that this person really loves him.
Xu Yunfan happily ate the fish in the bowl. He caught a glimpse of two other curious eyes cast at him from the corner of his eye and laughed, "Guess what? There's a prize for guessing correctly."
"Brother, you tell me, we can't guess." Qin An jumped off the bench, ran a few steps to Xu Yunfan, lay on Xu Yunfan's legs and shook, calling softly.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye followed suit and didn't even bother to eat dinner. He lay on Xu Yunfan's other leg, with his big round eyes and sparkling pupils, looking so cute.
Qin Run thought for a moment and guessed, "Because you dealt with Li Yunfei?"
"No, guess again, but you definitely won't guess it."
Qin Run: "...You already know we can't guess it, why are you still asking us to guess?"
Just kidding.
Seeing Qin Run's speechless expression, Xu Yunfan laughed heartlessly, "I won't tell you. I'll save it for a surprise for you later."
After saying that, he patted the two children's heads and said, "Okay, come back and have your meal. Once you're full, Brother Fu will take you to visit relatives tonight."
Qin An turned his head and glanced at the sky outside which was already getting a little gloomy. "Brother, it's getting dark outside. It's not convenient for us to visit."
"Don't be afraid, my brother-in-law has a way." Xu Yunfan was already prepared.
