Idle courtiers

Chapter 390 I'm Going Crazy
Zhou Nan didn't understand the meaning of his words, and would have misunderstood it, and said with a smile, "What can you help me with? If you really want to help me as a teacher, go back and study hard, and don't let me down." All he had to say was, You are too noisy, let's leave quietly, as a teacher, I just want to be quiet.

Chen Ju suddenly grabbed a written note from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, gritting his teeth without saying a word.

Zhou Nan: "What is this?"

Chen Ju still didn't speak.

Zhou Nan suddenly understood that this should be a question for the Shuntianfu Township Examination that Chen Ju sold.

Suddenly crying.

This year, the students in Shuntian Mansion are all crazy. The streets are full of scammers selling questions. What they think is that if they hit the question, it will be a few hundred taels of silver in the account. There is no business, why not do it?
Facts have proved that these titles are false.

Zhou Nan laughed: "How much did it cost?"

Chen Ju said in a low voice: "1000 taels, the students entered the palace from a young age, and there are no other expenses. This is accumulated over the past 20 years. For the sake of the teacher and the people of the world, no amount of money is worth it."

Seeing Chen Ju's washed white clothes and the patches on the collar and cuffs, Zhou Nan was greatly moved.Feeling very angry in my heart, according to the rules in the market, the seller will ask the buyer to issue an IOU.If the buyer wins the bid, he will naturally have to pay in full.If unsuccessful, the IOU will be returned.

I didn't know this beforehand, nor did I know how Chen Ju made the note.Like Wu Xinhua and Shi Wenjiang, it is estimated that Ta Nan's name was assigned, and the two will serve as guarantors.

Not only did he buy a fake title, but he was also accused of cheating for nothing.Although this evidence is not sufficient, if something happens in the future, I will inevitably be in trouble.

Zhou Nan was angry and annoyed, and said sharply: "You should keep this money to honor your parents and pay for your brother's education. I don't need it."

Chen Ju: "Compared with my Ming Dynasty and the country, a mere 1000 taels is nothing. Teacher, the student Qian has already been paid, please accept it, please!" Then she shed tears again . "Just take a look!"

"What..." Are you stupid? Zhou Nan almost blurted out this sentence.

Since the money has already been given to someone else, it seems that there should be no note and there is no evidence in other people's hands, so he is relieved.

However, this is 1000 taels, which is almost 10 yuan, this prodigal son.

Zhou Nan became even angrier, and cursed loudly: "A gentleman has three immortality: virtue, meritorious service, and speech. The highest is morality, followed by meritorious service, and secondly, speech. Although it will not be abandoned for a long time, this is called immortality. Among them, the establishment of virtue First. You said: "Scholars of my generation, self-cultivation, family regulation, state governance, and world peace. Self-cultivation is the first priority. If a person has a lack of virtue, how can he talk about regulating the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world."

"Even if I don't get fame all my life, I still don't want to take shortcuts. A gentleman would rather get from the straight than the straight."

When Zhou Nan said this, he picked up the topic "唰唰唰" and smashed it to pieces.

"Don't... Teacher... don't..." Chen Ju wailed.

He reached out subconsciously, but only grabbed a few crumbs.

Zhou Nan clapped his hands: "Okay, I didn't see anything, you can go back."

Chen Ju stood there blankly for a long time, and then bowed down with reverence on his face: "The teacher has a noble character, and the students look up to him. Compared with the teacher's character, Chen Ju has no place to be ashamed."

Complacent, Zhou Nan thought to himself: I knew your title was fake, so I had to make a gesture. If it was true, there would be a shortcut. I'm not stupid, so how could I refuse?Hey, isn't this a good opportunity to gain reputation!

Unconsciously, I was a little tempted, but after thinking about it again, I couldn't do it.Fraud in the examination room has a lot to do with it, and no outsiders saw what happened today.If I say it, maybe yellow mud will fall into the crotch, and it will be shit if it is not shit.

Sorry, really sorry!
Now the scammers who buy questions outside are making troubles all over the city. Since you can't gain reputation, the most important thing is to avoid suspicion.

Zhou Nan stretched out his hand to help Chen Ju up with a regretful mood, and said seriously: "As a teacher and as a teacher in the inner school, in addition to imparting knowledge that is useful in the world economy, I also want to teach you the principles of life. Change, there is nothing good about it, get up!"

"Yes, teacher, there are still a few things that the student didn't understand when he was studying today, and he wants to ask for advice."

Zhou Nan: "Tell me."

Chen Ju: "The most sage teacher of Dacheng said: Today's Fushan Mountain has as many rolls of rocks, and it is so vast, with vegetation growing on it, animals living in it, and treasures flourishing. The mountain you see now was only a small piece at first. The stone is so big, when it becomes a broad and high mountain, plants and flowers grow on it, birds and animals live on it, and gold and silver treasures are developed from it. I would like to ask my teacher, how should I say this sentence?"

Zhou Nan said casually: "Sands are piled up to form a pagoda, and armpits are piled up to form fur. The cultivation of a gentleman should start from the daily life bit by bit, and go farewell with every action."

Chen Ju asked again: "How can the gentleman's way be hidden?"

Zhou Nan: ""The Doctrine of the Mean" is the body of enlightenment, but it is always seen that it is inseparable, Husband..." Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart. This Chen Ju was crying and fussing before, why would he think of asking me for advice now.

Looking intently again, he saw a strange smile on Chen Ju's face.He immediately understood in his heart that these two sentences were the topics he bought, and he wanted to leak them to himself in this way.

This Chen Ju is really stubborn, I obviously rejected him.

Zhou Nan was furious and righteous, and shouted: "Shut up, don't say any more. Get out, get out immediately, or the teacher will deal with you in a fair manner. Chen Ju, you have let the teacher down so much. Come here and send him off." go out."

Wotou hurried in and stretched out his hand to Chen Ju: "Master, please!"

"It's a waste of time." When Wotou drove Chen Ju out, Zhou Nan shook his head helplessly, and took out a collection of contemporary essays from the drawer to ponder carefully.

Just after reading two pages, Wotou came in again: "Master, I just sent the guests out when..."

Zhou Nan was annoyed after being disturbed repeatedly and did not review, "Why, is Chen Ju still entangled?"

Wotou: "No, no. Speaking of the master, the villain saw Mr. Yuan Mei visiting as soon as he left the house, so he hurried over to report."

"Ah, the mentor is here, hurry up, I will go to meet you in person." Zhou Nan suddenly felt a little uneasy.

The teacher-student relationship between myself and Wang Shizhen is naturally excellent, but it's strange to say.Since becoming a teacher, Wang Shizhen never came to Zhou Nan's house, and sent someone to talk to him when he had something to do.

Today came suddenly, obviously something unusual happened.

At this time, Wang Shizhen had already walked in from the door of the study.

Zhou Nan: "Students pay a visit to their teacher, and they don't know what the teacher has to say, just say it."

Wang Shizhen's eyes were red, and tears fell down: "Your master, he, he, he..."

Zhou Nan hurriedly let Wotou back down, helped him to sit down, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Master?"

Wang Shizhen choked up and said: "Originally, the case of his old man has been sentenced, and all the titles will be cut off and handed over to the local officials. If everything goes well, it will be this time, and I will also ask for news as a teacher. But just now , a man who was an official in the imperial court visited in the same year and said that Xu Jie withheld the letter of love from your master after it was handed over to the cabinet. He also discussed with the other two cabinet elders and said that according to the system of our dynasty, one side is governor, and when foreign enemies invaded, it was thrown away If the city loses ground, it should be cut."

"What!" Zhou Nan's hairs stood on end. He knew Xu Jie was ruthless, but he didn't want to be so ruthless: "What did the other two elders say, and what did the supervisor of ceremonies say?"

Wang Shizhen wept: "The other two elders felt that this matter was a big deal, so they naturally refuted it. But it's of no use. Now that Yan Song has fallen, the cabinet has no chief assistant, and Xu Jie holds the right to draft votes. They can't do it either." What. As for the supervisor of ceremonies, Huang Jin is sick and can't take care of things, and no one can resist Xu Jie."

Speaking of this, he shouted angrily: "My Wang family has no grievances with Xu Jie in the past and has no hatred in the present. Why does he have such great hatred to kill your master?"

Zhou Nan's heart brightened: why else, it's not because of Ah Jiu.Old man Xu hates me for ruining his reputation, and hates Wu Wu.But I was wronged, but there is no way to explain this matter.

In ancient times when medicine was underdeveloped, no one could find anyone to give Ah Jiu a premarital examination.Moreover, judging by Jiu Gongzi's lively and active temperament, there might be something wrong.People are different, and the thickness of that layer of membrane also varies.Some people break down after riding a bicycle, so who can they reason with?

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if it really happens?
Moreover, women have to be pregnant for three months to see it.He falsely claimed that the ninth son was only two months pregnant, and it would take another month to prove his innocence. Saving people is like putting out a fire, and Master can't wait until that time.

Wang Shizhen: "Zimu, I'm very confused as a teacher. I really have nothing to do, so I came here to ask you, can you let me go to His Majesty to intercede."

Zhou Nan comforted him a few words, and said, "Teacher, students can't do this. Although students often accompany the attendant, they are always on duty in the Daolu Department. Every time they pass by, the attendant will lead the way. There is no purpose. , one step is not allowed.”

"How about that?"

Zhou Nan: "Teacher, don't worry, the students will go out and find a way, so don't panic."

He didn't dare to delay at the moment, he hurriedly hired a sedan chair, and rushed all the way to Huang Jin's mansion in the capital. Now, only he can help Wang Shu.

But when we got to the ground, the concierge replied: "The capital is too hot, and godfather is not in good health, so he went to Yuquan Mountain to enjoy the cool and recuperate."

He had no choice but to hire a horse-drawn carriage and drive sixty miles in a hurry, and finally arrived at the ground.

When I asked, he was not there again.

He replied that Huang Jin heard that there was a famous doctor in the mountains and went to visit him, but he didn't know how many days it would take to come back.

Zhou Nan stamped his feet in anxiety, and had no choice but to take a car and turn back to the capital.

After a busy day outside, hot, tired and hungry, thinking of the master who was still imprisoned in the sky prison and Xu Jie, who had a smirk on his face and was hypocritical, Zhou Nan felt mortified, and said to the groom: "Go to the inner city Xu Jie." Xiangfu."
