The Little Lucky Girl

These two things don't seem to be the same thing. Miss Zhang didn't know how to explain it, so she just said, "Anyway, I think Miss Xu is a smart person. We should learn more from her in this regard in the future."

Want to learn more about how to find handsome men?

Zheng Huan and the other two listened to the whole thing. Feng Xu was puzzled and asked, "Why is it that when women go to see handsome men, it is considered smart, but when we go to see beautiful women, we are considered lustful?"

Zheng Huan shrugged. How could he know such a complicated question?

Lu Tai thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this kind of question does not need to be explained, but needs to be debated. I heard that when Pei Shanzhang was young, he especially liked to debate with others. I really want to listen to him if I have the chance."

A subtle feeling arose in the hearts of the three people. It was really strange that there would be a day when they would take the initiative to attend class.

Ever since Pei Shanchang visited Xiaguan Village, he has been keen on going to various villages to give names to people. Each name comes with a bunch of stories, and he would then teach a few words while telling the stories.

Not only did he teach himself, he also brought all his teachers along.

If there was anyone who thought himself noble and didn't want to associate with the villagers, or who kept talking about his knowledge and saying things that the common people couldn't understand, the old man would warn him the first time, glare at him the second time, and simply fire him the third time.

This matter caused quite a stir. After all, Bailu Academy was also a famous institution of learning in the world, and its every move attracted the attention of scholars all over the country.

In addition, among those he dismissed were several retired Hanlin scholars and a former censor. They believed that Pei Shanchang's behavior was really disrespectful to society, so they filed a complaint with Magistrate Tao.

Can Magistrate Tao take care of it? The idea of ​​giving lectures to the people was discussed by him and Old Man Pei.

The academy provided the people, the county government provided the money, and Old Man Pei got a lot of money from him for travel expenses and tea expenses.

The two wanted to see how much effect it would have on educating the people by integrating the words of sages into easy-to-understand short stories.

So Magistrate Tao suppressed the lawsuit and went to talk to those old gentlemen about the situation.

The old Hanlin scholars were fine. When the former censor saw that the county magistrate was in cahoots with the headmaster, he was angry but also very happy. He immediately went back to his old job, writing memorials and asking people in the court to pass them up.

Once the court found out about it, it had to intervene, so it sent a document asking them to submit a memorial to defend themselves.

Pei Shanzhang was so angry that he threw the document aside and said to Ming Youyou who was bringing him herbal tea: "I am so busy every day, who has the time to argue with these people who have nothing to do after eating."

Ming Youyou recalled Brother Zhengdao's evaluation of the headmaster and laughed:

"Why don't you leave the memorial to Lord Tao? You can just dream tonight and come back to tell His Majesty what the immortal said."

The old man just glared at her and told her to just know what was going on. Why was she talking nonsense?

He felt it was a bit of a pity. The child was so smart. It would have been great if he was a boy. He even wanted to take him as his last disciple.

You know, his acting skills are pretty good, and many ministers in the court didn't realize it. But maybe they have something to ask of the gods in their hearts, so they would rather believe it.

Children are better. They have pure hearts and don’t have so many selfish thoughts.

The old man stroked his beard and thought for a while. This matter of changing people's mindsets must start from childhood.

When he returned, he called the abbot and planned to promulgate a new rule, "I want the students of the academy to participate in rural lectures once a month. Those who fail to meet the standards will not be allowed to pass the exam."

The dean thought about it and decided that once a month would not delay much study time, so he nodded in agreement.

Pei Shanzhang said again: "We should change the rules of writing articles. We are always talking nonsense and it makes no sense."

The abbot was a little embarrassed, "This is the rule of studying..."

"Is it right that it has always been this way?" The old man snorted, "In the past, there was no such position as a dean as you in the academy."

He said, "Poetry and songs are fine, but if practical policies are also cumbersome, it will not only be troublesome for the writer, but also take time for the reader. Wouldn't it be better to use this time to do more practical things?"

The dean understood the old man's temper and knew that he couldn't win the argument, but he couldn't help but muttered, "But other academies are like this, even the Imperial College is no exception. If we make too big a change, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."

"When have I ever been afraid of these things?" Pei Shanda waved his hand and said, "Let's do it."

He looked at the unwilling dean again and felt that not only he would do so, but the teachers would also not be able to carry out the order willingly.

The old man thought about it and simply removed half of the gentlemen who were reviewing the essays and replaced them with old farmers invited from the fields. If these people didn't understand what the essay was about, they would send it back for rewriting.

When the former censor saw that Principal Pei had become mad, he wrote memorials more frequently and also mobilized his students and old friends to submit a lot of memorials together.

Principal Pei pushed all the responsibility to Magistrate Tao, asking him to fight with those people from a distance, while he himself took the students to give lectures in the countryside.

Ming Youyou and a few others were also recruited. Not only were they provided with lunch, but they were also paid each time, a chicken or two kilograms of meat, so they were very active.

Zheng Huan and the other two looked at the students who were about their age, wearing moon-white gowns and walking among the villagers' respectful gazes. They felt envious for a moment.

When they were in the capital, they never wore student uniforms. That was the standard outfit for nerds, and poor students like them were ashamed to associate with them.

Recalling his stupidity at that time, Zheng Huan's eyes sparkled, and he said to Lu Tai and Feng Xu: "Do you two want to go to school? If your family members come forward to negotiate, this matter should not be too difficult to handle."

After all, unlike him, the main culprit, the things that happened to the two of them were not serious.

Lu Tai asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zheng Huan didn't say anything. He was not sure about Captain Jin's attitude and he had no hope for his father at all.

Feng Xu said, "No, we have to go together. If you don't go, what's the point of just the two of us?"

Zheng Huan shook his head and advised: "You should study hard in the academy, and come back to teach me what you have learned in the evening. It will be the same."

Seeing that the two were about to say something, he continued, "It's useless for you to waste time with me like this. Think about what Luo Xiucai said. Only when we become stronger can we avoid being bullied and be our own masters."

Ming Youyou was listening on the side with his head propped up. Seeing that they had been arguing for a long time without finding a suitable solution, he turned around and went to find Magistrate Tao who was coming to inspect.

Magistrate Tao pondered and said, "If we want to let all three of them go to school, it's not impossible, but it will be difficult to deal with the guards."

Ming Youyou said, "I have prepared my mosquito repellent herbs. I see Captain Jin likes them very much. Do you think I can get his approval if I give him all these sachets?"
