Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Han sighed, said nothing, turned around and walked out.
But when he turned back, he saw the better-dressed teenagers, but they were still standing there. Even though their bodies were shaking, they showed no signs of giving up.
There is not much fairness in the world.
But many times, fairness is actually in your own hands!
Many years later, these teenagers who have given up may look enviously at some of their peers passing by in front of them, but they will not think:
There was a day when they themselves were on the same starting line as these people!
It's just that they chose to give up, while those people chose to persist.
Taking some heavy steps, Xiao Han arrived at the entrance of the academy. Before Xiao Han could go out, he heard a series of exclamations from outside.
"The young court judge has come out!"
"Hey, Lord Judgment! Our baby has just passed one month after turning sixteen, please be accommodating..."
"Mr. Judge, we've met before. I'm from a dental shop in the east of the city! It's getting late, so I'd like to invite you to the best restaurant in the city for a drink together!"
All kinds of voices were ringing in his ears, making Xiao Han even more upset.
Xiaodong and Lengzi, who were enjoying the cool weather in the distance, saw Xiao Han's unkind expression and immediately rushed over, struggling to push the person standing in front of Xiao Han aside.
"Hey, judge, please think about it, I'm willing to pay fifty thousand dollars for tuition!"
"I have an ancestral moon pearl..."
Seeing that Xiao Han didn't speak, those waiting at the door didn't give up and pushed forward with all their strength. If Xiaodong and the others hadn't stretched out their arms to stop him, they would have pounced on Xiao Han.
The crowd was excited outside, but Xiao Han kept a sullen face, not even looking at the treasures that were almost stretched out in front of his eyes, and just walked forward without saying a word.
Squeezing out of such a crowded crowd is as difficult as sailing against the current.
Xiaodong and Lengzi were like bulldozers, struggling to clear the way ahead, but there were people everywhere. With just the two of them, it wouldn't take long for them to be out of breath.
Just when the two of them were exhausted, the front suddenly became empty.
"I'm going, is it over?"
Xiaodong, who was still arching his head forward, did not expect this. He couldn't hold back his strength for a moment, staggered forward a few steps, and then stabilized his body. Then he looked up and was surprised.
It turned out that I was still among the crowd.
But there was one more person in front of him, and it was none other than Sun Simiao in Taoist robes!
The people around them made way for them because of Sun Shenxian's arrival.
"Daozhang Sun!" Seeing Sun Simiao coming over, Xiao Han twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a wry smile.
Sun Simiao frowned and looked at him. He didn't say anything. He just made a Taoist salute to everyone around him: "Everyone, I want to discuss something with this layman. Please do it for your convenience and stop making noise."
"Ah! Doctor Sun is so polite..."
"Since it's Dr. Sun who's looking for me, it's natural that there's something big going on. You all should stop nagging about it!"
Sun Simiao saluted, but the people around him dared not accept it? They all moved aside to avoid it.
As for those who were still chasing Xiao Han, they were also speechless at this time. Occasionally, one or two who were unwilling to do so would shut their mouths and get out of the way under the murderous eyes of those around them.
It is much easier to follow Sun Simiao. No matter where you go, a road will automatically branch out in front of you.
Several people came to the willow tree. Those who were enjoying the shade under the tree also heard that they were going to talk about something, so they stayed away.
For a while, only Lao Sun, Xiao Han, Xiaodong and Lengzi were left under the willow tree.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you become like this just after entering?"
Ever since Xiao Han walked out of the door, Sun Simiao had noticed that something was wrong with his mood, so he went to pick him up from the crowd. Now that there was no one around, he sat down on the ground and asked.
"Hey, Taoist Priest, this academy turns out to be..."
Xiao Han was never polite to Sun Simiao. When he asked about it, he sat down on the ground and told the whole story. This conversation lasted for a cup of tea.
"...That's the way it is. I think Yin Can's approach is somewhat inappropriate."
After saying the last sentence, Xiao Han breathed a long sigh of relief.
At the same time, this conversation also made him feel a little better, at least it was no longer as heavy as before.
While Xiao Han was talking, Sun Simiao had been listening silently. He didn't laugh until Xiao Han finished his last sentence.
"Hey, you are so funny. You are still laughing at me now!" Xiao Han was so excited by Sun Simiao's smile that he almost jumped up and burst into tears on the spot.
"Sit down first, you are so big and still frizzy!"
When Old Sun saw Xiao Han jump up, he immediately put away his smile and glared at him. After sitting down again, he looked at the academy in front of him who was surrounded by the crowd and said: "In this matter, according to the old way, it is you who got into the trap."
It's over the top."
"What have I got into?" Xiao Han was stunned, and then looked at Lao Sun with a suspicious look on his face: "What have I got into?"
Sun Simiao chuckled, and he was quite experienced. He said directly to Xiao Han: "Let me ask you, what were you thinking when you established the academy?"
Xiao Han frowned, thought for a while and replied: "At first, I wanted to bring some benefits to the people nearby like Sanyuan County. Later, when I met Yin Can, I wanted to take advantage of the Mo family's emphasis on hands-on ability to cultivate more
Talent.”
"Since it's about cultivating talents, then what's wrong with what Yin Can did?" Sun Simiao suddenly asked.
"However, the talents I want to cultivate should not go to the ink vat of officialdom..."
Xiao Han wanted to argue with his neck, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Sun Simiao raising his hand again.
The old Taoist shook his head, looked at Xiao Han and said slowly: "I don't understand the officialdom, but I will tell you about it as an outsider."
"Okay, you say it!" Xiao Han said while holding his breath.
Sun Simiao sat upright with a clear look in his eyes: "I heard something outside just now, saw something, and understood something. When you first pulled me over, you said you were afraid that the academy would not be popular, but when you arrived
After that, you discovered that the people here are far beyond your expectations, do you know why?"
"Why, it's not because of the plaque with the emperor's personal handwriting! I don't know who spread the news. It is nonsense to say that studying in this academy is equivalent to being a disciple of the emperor!" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and replied.
Sun Simiao nodded and continued: "You are right. I just asked some people outside. For this title, some people even came from hundreds of miles away! And when the news spreads, there will definitely be a steady stream of people.
students are coming!
Obviously, Yin Can discovered this earlier than you, so he changed his original intention and directly recruited the best students."
