Hello Chang’an

Chapter 103 The moral bottom line needs to be lowered

There was a reason why Qiao Yubai was so confused and believed that Cui Lang and the others couldn't win - it wasn't that he thought everyone in the team was useless except him, but that Chang Miao was really ruthless, and it wasn't like them. Normal people with a high level of moral upbringing can handle it.

Besides, he's good, that's true. Without him in the team, the loss would be tragic, and people would inevitably be in panic.

To sum up, Qiao Yubai thought about it again and again before concluding that the blue team had almost no chance of winning.

And as good as him, while watching Cui Lang gasp for breath, he quickly calmed down -

At this time, Qiao Yubai felt that Cui Lang might have snatched the stick.

That's why people run so out of breath.

Qiao Yubai sighed, and just when he was about to persuade people to send the things back, Cui Lang finally breathed enough and was able to speak: "Brother Qiao, we win! We win!"

The young man surnamed Hu, who was also running and having difficulty speaking, also said: "Yubai, not only did we win, we also avenged you!"

Qiao Yubai was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Xi Zhiyuan, the most reliable of the three.

Xi Zhiyuan smiled and nodded at him: "That's right."

Qiao Yubai's eyes widened belatedly, and when he was about to ask, Cui Lang said impatiently: "The three of us, together with Mrs. Chang, beat Chang Miao to a **** head and cried for father and mother. Can’t get up!”

Xi Zhiyuan: “…”

It is really unnecessary to add the words ‘the three of us’ to this sentence.

"who?"

"Ning Ning?!"

"My sister beat Chang Miao?!" Chang Sui'an was shocked and suddenly stood up from the stool: "My sister didn't suffer, right? No one is looking for trouble for her! Where is she at this time!"

Cui Lang grinned and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chang. Mrs. Chang is the one who beats the others on the field. Just like Chang Miao and the others before, she follows the rules... Naturally, no one dares to cause trouble!"

Qiao Yumian hurriedly asked: "But why did Ningning get on the field?"

Cui Lang hurriedly told the whole story.

From how Chang Suining came on as a substitute, how he beat Chang Miao violently, how he later revealed the tricks Chang Miao had done on the Ju Zang horse, and how Chang Miao was removed from his status as a supervisor and expelled from the Imperial College.

As his last words fell, the huge medical hall fell into silence.

Qiao Yubai and others were stunned by shock. The doctor and two medicine boys in the hall listened attentively to the whole process. They felt as if they were listening to a book, and the work in their hands had long been abandoned.

Finally, Chang Sui'an's voice broke the silence—

"Qiao Yubai...you did a good job!"

Qiao Yubai: "?"

Chang Sui'an was full of regrets and wished she could beat her chest: "If I hadn't sent you here, how could I have missed such an important thing!"

He once again missed such an important event as his sister hitting someone!

The last time I missed it was at Dayun Temple, but that time he was not present the whole time, and there was a lack of participation overall. But this time it was different. He witnessed the abominable behavior of Chang Miao and others in the first half -

As the saying goes, if you want to promote, you must first suppress, but he only saw the suppression, but missed the promotion... I think he has accumulated virtues and done good deeds for half his life. When he met a monk on the road, he would give alms. When he saw an old farmer selling vegetables on the street on a rainy day, he would go up and buy all the vegetables. If there is no one left, why is he being subjected to such human torture at this time?

Chang Sui'an suddenly felt aggrieved.

After not being able to beat Zhou Ding with his own hands, this incident may become his second greatest regret in his life.

Qiao Yubai sighed: "Didn't I see it too?"

Listening to the regretful voices of the two, Qiao Yumian's mood was relatively stable.

Anyway, you can't see her presence or absence, so thinking about it, it's quite balanced.

And because Chang Sui Ning and Chang Sui Ning lived and ate together these days, she often accompanied Chang Sui Ning in the corridor when he practiced martial arts every day. At this time, when he heard that Ning Ning beat Chang Miao, except for a moment of surprise, the rest It's all about "Ning Ning's hard work in martial arts is not in vain." It's similar to the gratifying feeling of hard work in spring and abundant harvest in autumn.

Ning Ning is right, sweat fruit will never let people down.

Seeing the frail-looking little girl secretly clenching her fists and pursed her lips, feeling quite excited, Cui Lang took a few more curious glances.

As for Wang, she was so surprised that she covered her mouth with her hands when she heard Chang Suining came on the court. She has never been able to put her hands down to this day.

She couldn't help but think of the time when jiju started, when she asked Ning Ning if she also liked watching jiju now. The girl nodded and replied - she had watched a few games.

So she suggested that Yu Bai teach the little girl how to shoot bow in the future.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Wang looked at her son who had been beaten so hard that his head was still wrapped with a scarred cloth, and his eyes gradually became speechless.

Her suggestion made it somewhat unclear how much her son weighed.

When Qiao Yubai was confused as to why his mother-in-law looked at him with a hint of vague pity and disgust, he listened to his sister caringly explain to him -

"At first, my mother-in-law said she wanted Ning Ning to learn jiju from my brother." Qiao Yumian said with a smile.

Qiao Yubai suddenly said "Oh": "Then it's better to invite Gao Ming to come. It's not appropriate to delay Ning Ning..."

"There is no one more brilliant. How can Mrs. Chang need anyone to teach her?" Cui Lang was filled with emotion when he recalled the situation on the field at that time: "I would like to take Mrs. Chang as my teacher!"

He added: "Ms. Chang's fighting style is very unusual and majestic! She probably learned from General Chang and the others!"

Chang Sui'an was puzzled - speaking of it, he had never seen his sister and father learn Juju... Maybe this is the manifestation of a genius?

At this time, the young man surnamed Hu whispered: "But as a man, Cui Liulang, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to study with Lady Chang alone, right?"

Cui Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The young man said sincerely: "I mean, it would be better if you take me with you!"

When there are more people, everyone comes together to play, and naturally it becomes more open-minded.

Qiao Yubai laughed: "You guys are thinking long-term. Ning Ning is so busy every day that she may not have time to recruit apprentices."

As he spoke, he said with some confusion: "But having said that, according to Cui Liulangjun's words just now, Ning Ning should have noticed that Chang Miao was doing something with the stick and the horse when I was injured... Then why didn't he do it earlier? If they raise questions and leave the matter to the magistrate, why should they go to great lengths to pretend to be a substitute and fight with Chang Miao and the others? "

"If I brought it up too early and Chang Miao was sent off immediately, how would there be a chance to beat them?"

The girl's voice sounded, and it was Chang Suining who walked in.

"If we can't give them a good beating, won't Brother Yubai's losses be in vain?" She had changed back into a clean underskirt and walked over and said, "Brother Yubai is good at everything. It’s just too upright.”

There is nothing wrong with being upright, but if you go too far and suffer losses, your thinking will be easily limited, which is not conducive to broadening your ideas. Otherwise, a smart mind like him would not be able to think of the reason why she later presented evidence of Chang Miao's evildoing. ?

To put it bluntly, in his moral cognition, she would not behave in such a way that she would try every means to beat the person first.

Facing those eyes that clearly read "Brother's moral bottom line needs to be lowered", Qiao Yubai's eyes were shaken, and the solid wall in his heart seemed to be broken through.

"Ning Ning's words are on point!" Qiao Jijiu, who was also here, stepped into the hall. Looking at his son's miserable appearance, he opened his mouth and sighed: "I told you a long time ago, You have to be flexible when doing things... Your mind is also a little distorted, so why did you get beaten up like this? Do you have a long memory for what happened today? "

"You should learn from Ning Ning. The so-called moral upbringing must also be treated accordingly. When you are high, you have to be high. When you are low, you have to be lower. Only by being flexible can you suffer less! In this regard, Ning Ning did an excellent job today. !”

"..." Chang Suining felt that this was not entirely correct.

The truth in this statement is correct, but the mistake lies in the bottom line of moral upbringing. It's not that she knows how to adapt, it's that she doesn't have it at all. As for whether this was completely inconsistent with the way of a gentleman, would it lead to misdirection of the students next to her? She felt that it was expected. After all, she had already said that it would be necessary for Qiao Yang to come to the Imperial Academy to hold the wine ceremony. It is meant to mislead others.

Qiao Yubai had fallen into deep thought.

Cui Lang and others couldn't help but nod.

Sacrifice wine is a small thing. It is knowledge that cannot be learned in books. You have to take a booklet and write it down in your heart.

Qiao Yubai's injury had been taken care of and bandaged. The doctor told him to rest for at least half a month. He also said that it was lucky that his arm was straightened back in time. Otherwise, if he were not careful, it would not be as simple as resting for half a month.

Qiao Yubai thanked the doctor and looked at Chang Sui Ning happily: "Ning Ning, thank you for being here today."

Whether it was his injury or the entire game.

Chang Suining: "Thanks to Brother Yubai—"

Qiao Yubai was puzzled.

"This is how I have the opportunity to shine in front of others."

Qiao Yubai couldn't help but laugh.

Qiao Yumian couldn't help but smile. She had a pair of small tiger teeth. When she smiled like this, her soft and quiet face suddenly gained a lively aura.

Cui Lang glanced at it inadvertently and was stunned for no reason.

At this time, the room filled with dim twilight suddenly lit up, and Cui Lang was startled, and was shocked back to his senses as if he was waking up from a dream.

He looked over and saw that the doctor had ordered the medicine boy to light the lamp.

"It's time to go back." Wang said with a smile.

Qiao Yumian stretched out a hand and handed it to the female servant beside her.

Accompanied by the female envoy, the slightly frail figure left the hospital step by step.

As Qiao Jijiu and others left, Yipot also urged her husband: "Madam is still waiting for you outside the Imperial Academy."

The Dragon Boat Festival will be in three days. Starting from tomorrow, the Imperial College will be closed for five days. Students near the capital can return home for reunion tonight.

Cui Lang didn't seem to hear Yi Gu's urging. He turned around and asked the doctor curiously: "Isn't Mrs. Qiao's eye disease incurable?"

The doctor sighed and shook his head: "It's caused by injuries. It's been many years..."

Cui Lang turned his head and looked outside the hall in the direction where Qiao Yumian left.

"It's so pitiful."

…

Cui Lang, Xi Zhiyuan and several substitutes from the blue team agreed to meet at the Tai Tower to celebrate the victory three days later, and then left the Imperial Academy.

On the way he asked a pot: "Is the eldest brother gone?"

"I haven't seen Dalang Jun for a long time... I must have gone back to Xuance Mansion, right?"

Cui Lang was right when he thought about it: "Elder brother is so busy with official duties. Today he took the time to come and watch me play ball. I must have missed a lot of official work. He must be busy now... Could it be that the elder brother has to stay up all night to deal with official duties? Bar?"

Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but feel more moved. I felt that my eldest brother had paid too much for me.

On the other side, after Xi Zhiyuan separated from the boy named Hu, he took the scholar back to the prison dormitory.

He comes from the distant Dongluo Kingdom. He came to Da Sheng to study at the age of twelve and has never gone back.

The master and servant said a few words in Dongluo language, and their figures slowly disappeared into the early night.

After the two of them walked away, two figures came out from behind the rockery beside the path.

"Grand Governor, can you understand what they were saying just now?" Yuan Xiang asked in a low voice.

Cui Jing looked towards the direction where the master and servant left: "It's just a normal conversation."

He has been traveling around for many years and has had contact with the Dongluo people. He can roughly understand some Dongluo language. The master and servant just now were just talking about the five-day holiday.

Yuan Xiang asked again: "Then do you think there is something strange about this person?"

The Governor came here today not just to watch Cui Liulang perform the ball, but to personally explore this Dongluo student.

Cui Jing raised her feet and walked back, saying noncommittally: "Let people keep an eye on you first, remember to be careful."

"Yes." After Yuan Xiang responded seriously, he asked, "Do you want to report it to the saint?"

Although the Grand Governor accidentally noticed something fishy about this matter, and it was not the sage's instruction, if it is true as the Grand Governor suspected, we must not treat it carelessly.

Cui Jing: "No need for the time being."

Yuan Xiang agreed again.

The only person he was loyal to in his heart was Cui Jing, and he never questioned the arrangements of his governor. Since the governor said that there was no need to report to the saint for the time being, he had to avoid the saint's eyes and ears when arranging the matter.

The two walked out of the path and wanted to leave the Imperial Academy, but they met Yao Yi halfway.

"Captain Cui." Yao Yi raised his hand and saluted.

Cui Jing nodded slightly.

Yao Yi looked at the young man who was distant and indifferent to others, and had not completely eliminated the ungrateful demeanor unique to the Cui family in his bones. He knew that this general of the Xuance Army, who was born in a noble family, was notoriously difficult to get close to and get along with -

But at this time, the situation dictated that he couldn't control so much.

Yao Yi gritted his teeth and invited with a smile: "Master Cui hasn't gone back so late, why don't you come with me to Qiao Jiji Wine Shop for a drink?"

Cui Jing: "It's already late, so I might be wrong to disturb you rashly."

Yao Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't bother me, Minister Wei is here too!"

In other words, someone has already shamelessly disturbed it, so it’s no wonder they are the two of them.

It's just that Wei Shilang ran too fast. He was pestered by his colleagues just now and couldn't get away. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that one person would be too conspicuous, so he urgently needed to find someone to keep him company.

Yuan Xiang glanced at Yao Yi quietly.

It would be better if Yao Tingwei did not mention Wei Shilang...

Sure enough, when Cui Jing heard that Wei Shuyi was there, he refused even more thoroughly. As the minister of Dali Temple, Yao Yi was good at solving cases in details. At this time, he saw the slight look of disgust in Cui Jing's eyes. I secretly thought something bad -

At this critical moment, the cautious and courageous Yao Tingwei grabbed Cui Jing's arm before he could speak, and walked forward with him -

He was so enthusiastic that he didn't intend to leave any escape route for the other party: "Let's go, let's go, if we don't go, we won't be able to catch the hot meal!"

On the third day without asking for the monthly ticket, wouldn’t you give it to me if I didn’t ask for it? Wow, oh, oh, sit on the ground and cry.
