For the first time, he felt that this child was really spoiled by his second brother and his wife and his own mother to the point that he had no idea how high the sky was and how deep the earth was!
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense. You've gone too far this time!"
Xia Pengju was afraid that he still couldn't see the situation clearly, so he couldn't help but stop him from saying anything.
Don’t you see where this place is and what kind of people are around?
Can some words be shouted out loudly?
It was the first time that Xia Yiqun saw his uncle get angry at him. While he felt aggrieved, his mind finally became clearer.
Shunzi saw that the uncle and nephew had finally calmed down, so he stepped forward and said, "The old lady invites you, please follow me!"
Qiao Xin had already set up her gear in the spacious backyard to entertain visitors.
Even at this time, Qiao Xin was still thinking about promoting Anhua's Jinhua Fuzhuan Tea to these literati and scholars.
President Meng witnessed all this and couldn't help but admire Qiao Xin's ability to seize opportunities.
"Sir, is this okay?" President Meng asked uncertainly when he saw that there was only brick tea from their Anhua County at the banquet.
"It has to be done no matter how difficult it is. Don't you see who is hosting them?" County Magistrate Wu glanced at him and said confidently.
Even if they are not used to it, who dares to say it on the spot? They are all a bunch of gentlemen without any official titles, and they can only be humble in front of Qiao Xin. Moreover, it is not intentional to treat them differently. Didn't you see that the old lady also drinks the same tea?
With so many fish, they can catch as many as they can. If someone really likes him or writes a poem about him, then wouldn't their Anhua tea be recorded in history?
Basically, anything that can be associated with famous officials and great scholars will inevitably be blindly followed by others.
There were fans in ancient times as well, and their craziness was no less than that of modern people. They would go crazy for their idols, be wild about their idols, and even bang their heads against the palace walls for their idols!
Normally, no matter how much effort you put in, you still can't invite a dean. There are only four famous colleges in the whole of Dajing, and now two of them appear before you all of a sudden. What a rare opportunity. Can you give up?
The beads on Magistrate Wu's abacus made a clattering sound.
Really, don’t you think about who the old lady is doing this for by lowering herself to such a mercenary thing?
President Meng:........
"It's been several months since we last met. I didn't expect to meet you here, old lady!" Liang Shengming greeted Qiao Xin with a smile.
He already knew the whole story on the way here, and his students didn't suffer any harm, so why was he so anxious?
"I was planning to go to Anhua County and happened to pass by here. I saw a good show. I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but I didn't know that the one being bullied was a child from our academy."
Qiao Xin didn't beat around the bush and brought the matter straight to the table.
The students of Qingming College were immediately unhappy and subconsciously retorted: "Who bullied them? We are the ones who got beaten, okay?"
"That's because we learned some skills to protect ourselves. If we were someone who didn't have the ability to protect ourselves, we probably wouldn't have had the chance to stand here!"
"That's right. You clearly said you would take us to visit the academy, and then you brought us to this remote place. You were the first to do it, and now you want to turn the tables on me. You really have no shame!"
Guanjianze said sarcastically: "You are the ones who said that we should learn martial arts, and you are also the ones who can't beat us. So if we can beat you, it's learning, but if we can't beat you, it's bullying?
Look at his appearance. He is not skinned or lacking any flesh. He is just standing here fine. Does he look like he has been bullied?
It has long been a routine for us in Dajing College to travel and exchange with each other. When you see someone better than you, you want to suppress him. Today we are lucky and met the old lady to help us. In the past, those students who were not as famous as you had better talent and knowledge than you, who knows how they would be dealt with?
Xia Yiqin's expression froze, and he angrily retorted, "Don't spit blood at me. I just can't stand this toad named Guan wanting to eat swan meat, so I'm just teaching you a lesson. What does it have to do with others?"
"Oh, now you admit that you did it on purpose!"
After Xia Yi finished speaking, he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. However, compared to personal grudges, he could not admit that they had bullied students from other colleges.
Once its reputation is ruined, the entire Qingming Academy will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Dajing.
No matter how stupid he is, he can still distinguish the primary from the secondary. He dares not act rashly on weekdays.
"Evil son, apologize!"
"Uncle?" Xia Yiqun's lips were pale and he looked at his uncle with grievance.
Hasn't his uncle always been disdainful of Qingyang Academy? Why is he asking him to apologize now?
Xia Yiqun cursed in his heart, but he refused to give in. He stood there stubbornly without saying a word.
Xia Pengju glared at him and said in feigned anger, "You ignorant boy, what do you know? Can you arrange the imperial ladies at will?
It's OK that you've been unruly in the past, but today you went too far in your fight with your classmates. What's wrong with asking you to apologize?"
After that, he bowed to everyone again and again: "Today's incident was an unintentional mistake by the young generation. I hope you can take it to heart! It is my Xia family who failed to manage the young generation well. I apologize to you all on his behalf!"
Qiao Xin cursed in her heart, the old fox was really shameless. You, a dean, had to apologize so humbly. If the people present still kept staring at you, wouldn't that be being unreasonable?
Liang Shengming knew what kind of person this senior was. He valued his face more than his life. He didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed for his nephew.
The child still showed no sign of repentance. I'm afraid that all the efforts of the senior were in vain! It's better to stay away from the Xia family in the future with such a character!
Liang Shengming and Qiao Xin looked at each other and understood each other. The other party wanted to let the matter go lightly and it would be best to just let it go!
But how could Qiao Xin agree? Why should they say whatever they want? Isn't it just bullying? Who can't do that?
Qiao Xin sat on the chair, without even raising her eyelids, and said nonchalantly: "I will not argue with a child. I have seen how your family disciplines the younger generation.
Shunzi, Mr. Xia broke seven or eight tables and chairs, and a dozen porcelain bowls. Take them all and comfort the owner. I will compensate him personally. Tell her not to spread gossip in the future."
"Hey, I'll go down and prepare right away. I'll make sure the boss doesn't say anything that's unfavorable to Master Xia."
Qiao Xin said to Xu Can and others, "Xu Can, Xiaoguan, hurry up and send a letter to your grandfather and father, so that they won't be reported to the court for no reason. They won't be mentally prepared at all."
"Hey, I'll write it right away! Mr. Xia keeps saying that he will let the county princess report my father. How dare I forget such a big thing!" Xu Can cooperated with Qiao Xin in a servile manner.
"Isn't it just a matter of competing with your father and grandmother? Who doesn't have elders? If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Beijing and go to the palace to find my aunt the imperial concubine!"
