After hearing Master Lu's words, Shen Yi's heart trembled.
This dean of my family is not an ordinary teacher. He has good friends with many officials in the court. Although he may not have any authority, he is definitely well-informed. He probably knows the results of the battles in the court. Thus, the fate of the Ma family was deduced.
Shen Qilang thought for a while, then bowed his head slightly to Master Lu and said, "Sir, the student has taken note of what he said. Before the student is still young, he will not do anything that is beyond his control."
This time the food price turmoil in Jiangdu seems to have little to do with Shen Yi. In fact, Shen Yi's nursery rhyme played a very crucial role.
Without this nursery rhyme, the Jiangdu Yamen would probably not have interfered with the sudden rise in food prices. Even if food prices rose for several months and the government turned a blind eye, most of the people in Jiangdu would still be relatively wealthy and would not be unable to eat. By the time the autumn harvest comes, this matter will be over.
It was precisely because of that nursery rhyme that the Jiangdu government was forced to ask questions and take care of it, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Jiangdu grain merchants. Later, because some people in the court deliberately tested the situation, the matter escalated step by step. Look like this.
When things have reached this point, it is actually a bit dangerous.
Because of this matter, it is not impossible to find out about Shen Yi.
According to Shen Yi's original plan, if this matter was found on him, he would admit it as a bachelor. As a scholar, speaking out for the people and seeking benefits for the people is not a shameful thing. As for things like slandering the court, You can push it all to those grain merchants.
If this matter ends in Jiangdu, then Shen Yi's reason is actually reasonable. Due to the reputation of Jiangdu scholars and Ganquan Academy, the government can only give a few words of warning at most, and will not really punish Shen Yi.
But now, this matter has reached the capital, and it is very likely to cause further trouble. Chen Fuzun may not be upset. If Shen Yi is really found out, even if he will not be punished, Chen Fuzun will still be resented.
It is obviously not a good thing to be resented by a promising Jiangdu prefect.
Fortunately, Shen Yi met Lu Anshi, and Master Lu also expressed his position that if this matter fell on Shen Yi, he would take the responsibility for Shen Yi.
In this way, Shen Yi himself was not at risk, but after this incident, he also learned a profound lesson.
No matter how much you are capable of doing, even if you are taking advantage of the situation, you still need to have the capital to take risks.
This world is also a living world, and everyone here is a living person. It does not mean that they will become fools in front of the time travellers. It does not mean that they can just go along with the flow and do whatever they want just because they are human beings.
Hearing Shen Yi's words, Master Lu nodded happily and said, "You are a good boy if you can listen to what you say."
After saying that, Master Lu asked: "Fan Dongcheng and others have returned to the academy these days. Have they not come to trouble you again?"
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "No, students haven't been in the academy much during this period, and I haven't seen them a few times."
"This is Fan Dongcheng."
At this point, Master Lu frowned deeply, snorted and said, "They haven't gone to find you these days. Instead, they pester Qingque every day. They send you rouge today and perfume the next. It's really annoying."
Having said this, Master Lu looked up at Shen Yi, lowered his eyebrows slightly and said, "Although Qingque may not be willing to talk to them, she is young after all. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear Fan Dongcheng's entanglement. Qilang, you have a lot on your mind these days." Think of a way to get rid of Fan Dongcheng's idea."
When Shen Yi heard this, he rolled his eyes, and then smiled at Mr. Lu: "Sir, do you have a disdain for Fan Dongcheng?"
Master Lu had no expression on his face and snorted disdainfully: "The villain who beat up his classmates, no matter how illustrious his family background, is not in my eyes. As long as I am alive, he will never even think about it. He is just afraid that Qingque will suffer from him." deceived..."
Having said this, Master Lu stopped talking.
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, the students have almost settled the matters in the city. In the past few days, the students have been in the academy to help Miss Lu get rid of their entanglements."
"Just think of a way and don't get involved."
Master Lu sighed slightly: "Although the Ma family is in ruins, the Fan family is truly the first-class family in Jiangdu. If you offend him, he will probably still cause trouble for you."
Shen Yi bowed his head and said yes. After asking Old Man Lu some academic questions, he stood up and left.
He walked out of Master Lu's study, turned around and closed the door for Master Lu. When closing the door, Shen Yi took a deep look at his dean's study.
He knew very well what Mr. Lu was thinking.
Although this great scholar from Jiangzuo had no official position, he had teachers, classmates and students, as well as many officials from Ganquan Academy in the imperial court.
Therefore, he cannot follow his own will.
He couldn't have too much of a quarrel with the Fan family, otherwise Fan Dongcheng could be kicked out of Ganquan Academy with just one word from the master. Why should there be such a quarrel?
Moreover, looking at Master Lu’s attitude…
Shen Yi estimated that the Minister Fan in the imperial court had a close relationship with officials of the "Ganquan Sect".
This is not surprising. After all, Ganquan Academy is located in Jiangdu, and Fan Shilang is a native of Jiangdu. It is normal for Fan Shilang to have political connections with the "Ganquan Sect".
Therefore, Mr. Lu cannot directly break up with the Fan family.
Thinking of this, Miss Lu's figure appeared in Shen Yi's mind again.
There are almost no women in Ganquan Academy. Miss Lu is the only woman in Ganquan Academy. She is a young woman and the daughter of a mountain leader. Naturally, she is the beauty of the academy and is very popular among the students in the academy.
Not only Fan Dongcheng, Chen Qing, but also the original Shen Yi also wrote love poems to Miss Lu. However, Shen Yi's poetry was mediocre and he did not receive a response from Miss Lu.
And now...
Shen Qilang blinked and said to himself: "The old man likes me? Does he want me to pick up his daughter?"
After muttering this in a low voice, Shen Yi shook his head: "Probably not, I am a poor boy, not even a scholar..."
"But no matter what."
A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face: "At least in the old man's heart, I am much better than that fellow Fan Dongcheng. Whether I can win over Miss Lu or not is the second best thing, but I must first please the old man and complete the errands assigned by the old man..."
Just as Shen Yi was muttering in a low voice, Miss Lu came over with her maid.
She was carrying a lunch box in her hand, probably delivering lunch to her father.
Shen Yi raised his head and looked at Miss Lu, with a bright smile on his face, and waved to Miss Lu: "Hello at noon, junior sister."
This was probably the first time that Miss Lu heard the greeting "Good afternoon". She was stunned at first, and then smiled politely at Shen Yi: "Senior Brother Shen is so happy today. My father has accepted you as a student?"
"not yet."
Shen Qilang smiled gently: "But I thought it would be soon, so I called my junior sister in advance."
Miss Lu's sleeves covered her mouth, and her eyes were bent into crescent moons.
"When I met my senior brother before, he was also a junior sister."
As she said that, she looked at Shen Yi, looked him up and down, and said softly: "Come to think of it, senior brother may not be as old as me."
