Chapter 1198 Repaying Gratitude with Resentment

The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Bai Xingyu's face became, "I see that he is really poor, so I ordered someone to withdraw 50 taels of silver for him in case of emergency... Maybe he has other urgent needs..."

The sages say that filial piety is the first thing to do. As a motivated student, what else is more important than a bedridden mother?
"Hmph, as the so-called filial piety comes first, he can ignore his own mother and devote himself to the so-called official career. Even if such a person is lucky enough to get his wish, do you think he will wholeheartedly serve the people?"

While the two were silent, Wen Bu walked in with his hands behind his back, thinking of that Zhuang Xiucai, his beard raised up in anger.

"What Mr. said is very true, but I am stupid."

"Uncle is not only not dull, he is also a smart person. It's just that it takes a few years of practice to look at people." Wen Bu sat opposite Bai Ningxiang and poured himself a glass of water.

"The kid from the Zhuang family has been clever since he was a child, and he is also motivated in reading, but he is too quick for quick success, which makes people uncomfortable. The old man has been stubborn all his life, so naturally he can't understand his attitude."

Speaking of this, Wen Bu sighed, how could a good child become so hideous?
I think that when he was a child, he devoted himself to studying, and spent most of the day running to him, always asking him various questions seriously. He thought that this kid was not bad, so he would explain some articles to him when he had free time.Just give him advice, as to whether he can absorb it or not, it depends on his personal nature.

Old man Zhuang was still alive at that time, and he felt sorry for seeing his son often running to him, so he gave him some firewood and vegetables every now and then. After a long time, he became acquainted with the Zhuang family.

He saw that the boy was still diligent, so he pointed out a way for him to go to school to study.

Five years ago, the Zhuang family boy was selected as a scholar, and the whole family was naturally happy. It was a promising thing to have a scholar in the family, but it also came with difficulties. It is still very difficult for people to go to the academy to study.

There are many academies in Kyoto, but the only place suitable for him to study is Sishan Academy. Another reason is that the dean there is an old friend of his.

Dean Qin also has his own unique insights in terms of policy and theory, and the two of them have nothing to do, and occasionally get together to discuss a few words.

The old man Zhuang came to beg him, asking him to recommend the boy from the Zhuang family to study in the academy, as a day student, without having to live in school, in order to save a lot of expenses.

Looking at those longing eyes, he couldn't bear to bury a seedling of studying at that time, so he nodded and agreed, went to the dean, explained the situation of the Zhuang family boy, and made an exception to let him enter the academy.

It's a pity that not long after, the boy from the Zhuang family came to beg me again, saying that he wanted to worship under Dean Qin.

When he communicated with his classmates, he learned that almost everyone has a teacher. As long as he worships a famous teacher and the teacher is famous, the next exam will be smoother.

So, he came to him, hoping to make peace with him, and let old man Qin accept him as a disciple.

This kind of forcing people to recruit disciples really made him embarrassed. As a scholar, everyone has different habits of recruiting disciples, and they value different things.

But there is one thing that cannot be changed. All famous scholars and students have their own requirements and preferences. There must be a reason why old man Qin didn't like Zhuangjia boy.

Although he is an old friend with him, he can't force him to accept a student he doesn't like, can he?
It turned out to be good, the kid saw that he was not happy, and went back with a displeased face, and then the old man Zhuang appeared, with a piece of bacon and two boxes of fruit.

When they met, they would kneel down and ask him to help introduce them, which was all the painstaking efforts of the child.

In the end, there was really no way to grind him down, so he had to go to Sishan Academy, and only after he went there did he find out that old man Qin really intended to accept a student with good qualifications, and he already had a candidate.

What did old man Qin tell him at that time?

"Zhuangjia's boy is smart, but he is too sophisticated. As a student, his mind is too complicated and he will not go far."

When he got home, he saw the dealer's father and son waiting at the door, looking into two pairs of expectant eyes, and he didn't hide anything.

"Principal Qin already has a candidate for a student, and he only accepts one student this year. You have just enrolled for half a year, and there are so many masters in the academy. You will definitely have the opportunity to learn from a teacher in the future."

"How can it be the same? Dean Qin is the best mentor in the entire academy. Only by worshiping under his disciples can he have a chance to make his mark."

When the dealer boy yelled these words at him, he was taken aback for a moment and then laughed.

"Do you know why Dean Qin didn't choose you? He said that your mind is too complicated, which is not good for studying."

After he finished saying this, the old man Zhuang was taken aback and didn't understand what he meant, but the kid from the Zhuang family turned red, looked at him with resentment and hatred, roared at him, then turned and left.

"I will definitely prove myself. One day, I will trample all those who look down on me."

Since then, he has really never seen Zhuang's kid again. He heard that he is still studying at Four Mountains Academy, and he did not join Dean Qin's school in the end.

In the next six months, when he had a drink with old man Qin, he learned that the student that his old friend had arranged for him had an accident and broke his leg. As a last resort, he had to drop out of school and leave.

Seeing the regretful expression of his old friend, he suddenly fell silent. It has been too long to pursue the matter, but everything has a cause and an effect.

When I met him once, he inadvertently asked, although the dealer boy denied it, the gloating flash of misfortune in his eyes did not escape him.

At that moment, he couldn't tell what it was like. He had read sage books all his life and taught his students to seek benevolence and benevolence, but in the end he was still powerless.

Listening to Wen Bu's narration, Bai Ningxiang and his brother looked at each other, no wonder he reacted so strongly when he saw Zhuang Xiaolian, there was another reason for this.

"Sir, don't worry about whether it's worth worrying about. Your old friend is right. People with impure thoughts are not blessed to go far."

Even if you get some benefits by luck, how can you get what you want every time?

Depending on luck and tricks, there will always be a day of exposure.

Bai Ningxiang looked at the sadness in Wen Bubu's eyes, and those eyes full of vicissitudes of life, and couldn't help but persuade her.

"My sister is right, sir, don't mind." Bai Xingyu came back to his senses, extremely disdainful of Zhuang Xiucai's actions, but somehow felt that he was pathetic.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to warn me, the old man knows it well, but he is powerless to watch a child go astray, and he just feels a little uncomfortable."

Wen Bu smiled self-deprecatingly, he had been stubborn all his life, rarely begged for help, and it was for him twice.

I didn't ask him to be grateful, but I didn't want to provoke hatred!
