Chapter 60 part 1 (1/2)
Hearing this little scholar in front of her ask her this, the old woman subconsciously said: “Of course my grandson is called by this name. This name was chosen by the most educated person in my village. You, young man, are really asking strange questions.”
Xue TingRang’s eyes flashed, and he looked at the old woman’s expression.
But no matter how he looked at her, the old woman’s expression doesn’t look like she lied. Could it be that there is really something wrong with this?
Just as Xue TingRang fell into contemplation, changes had taken place in the crowd.
As if they had already planned it out, the people at Qinghe Academy swarmed up.
“What do you people in Qingyuan want to do? Grandmother, don’t tell him any more. The people in Qingyuan Academy are the most cunning, and that’s how Sun He followed their way that day lost his life!”
“You are really turning black to white, don’t think that you can bully us just because you have more people.”
“Let’s go quickly, lest we suffer a big loss. We will tell the owner before coming back.”
The dozen or so students from Qinghe rushed to their feet, pulled the old woman up, and swept away like a gust of wind.
Seeing this group of people finally leave, everyone can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Master, are you okay?” Meng Xian Sheng asked.
Lin Miao wiped his face and shook his head: “I’m fine.”
Mr. Mo sighed next to him: “That’s good.”
The three of them looked at each other, and they seemed battered and bruised, no longer looking like scholars.
“Are you all okay?” Lin Miao asked, looking at the students around him.
“Master, we are all fine.”
“Since you are fine, it’s all good. Let’s go in first.”
Everyone filed in. When it was Xue TingRang’s turn, Lin Miao suddenly said, “Xue TingRang, come with me.”
Mao Badou and the others looked at Xue TingRang anxiously, but couldn’t say anything. They could only walk in with the rest of the group, and Xue TingRang followed Lin Miao to the house.
After entering the room, Lin Miao went to the inner room to change.
After coming out, he has recovered to the previous upright and rigorous curator, and the blood marks on his face have faded a lot. After he came to the bookcase, he sat down and glanced at Xue TingRang: “Thank you for helping everyone out. It’s just that the victim is heartbroken. You shouldn’t take the opportunity to use their pain to achieve your own goals, even though you meant to do it for the good of everyone.”
Lin Miao sighed: “You are clever and witty, courageous and strategic, but the only thing is you are good at forced sophistry, which makes people unhappy. You need to know that a gentleman stands tall in the world and he is upright. The gentleman should be generous and virtuous. Do not deceive the heavens, do not deceive people, do not deceive the heart, do not deceive the world, and you become a true gentleman.
“That day, brother Mo led you to this academy. He originally wanted me to accept you as a disciple. But I don’t want to accept a disciple for the time being. But you need to keep in mind that a gentleman has to know what can be done and what cannot, not using his cleverness to take shortcuts. If you continue like this, I am afraid that you will miss your own opportunities in the future.”
Therefore, Lin Miao really doesn’t know how to express himself. Others came up to help with enthusiasm, but when it fell into his mouth, it became cleverness and forcible sophistry.
However, it can be seen that he was earnest and instructive, and Xue TingRang could not be disgusted. He also knew that the judgement made by the owner of him was probably derived from the matter of Mao Badou’s collection of books that day.
After Xue TingRang had that dream, his temperament and behavior have changed drastically, and two people have already said the same things with him.
One is Zhao’er, and the other is Master Lin in front of him.
