Coming to someone else's ancestral temple, saying in front of others that they would demolish their house and burn all their ancestral tablets. This kind of arrogant behavior is naturally not the first time it has happened, but where is the person?
I can only imagine that such a thing would happen to the dean.
After all, the dean of the academy is not only a monk who forgets his worries, but also the leader of scholars in the world and the true helmsman of the Confucian lineage.
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly, waved his hand, and dismissed his somewhat ugly-faced fellow disciple, and then whispered, "Mr. Dean, this matter is not subject to discussion?"
If possible, he would naturally not want to accompany the dean in front of him to go crazy here, but now that the parents have gone into hiding early, in the Xie family mansion, I am afraid that not many people will choose to come to see the dean at this time. In fact,
They never imagined how the dean would come here now, although they had already guessed the dean's purpose.
The dean looked at the other party with a smile and said, "If you think you can keep your word, then I will fight with you?"
Hearing this, the old man's back was like thorns, and his face suddenly turned extremely ugly. If the dean had said that he wanted to burn the ancestral tablets before, he just felt a little angry, but now he didn't want to provoke this god of plague at all.
The world only regards this old man as the leader of scholars in the world and the highly respected dean of the academy. However, only a few people know what kind of guy this dean is. And the Bailu Xie family benefited from the relationship of the family head.
In particular, this old man is relatively close to the head of the family, so he naturally knows many inside stories that others don't know.
At a banquet, the head of the Bailu Xie family laughed and said that the dean was actually the most grumpy of the previous dean’s disciples. He had a very bad temper. Although he had read countless books,
It can be said that he is a scholar, but he is still like this, which is very strange.
"The old man's catchphrase is very interesting. When it comes to studying and reasoning, you can't beat me anyway, so why not stop studying and reasoning? Let's try a fight? Listen to it, this is true.
Human words?"
These words were the original words of the head of the Bailu Xie family. When he said these words, his face was full of helplessness. It is difficult for people not to think about whether the head of the family had a fight with the dean.
I'm afraid the result won't be too good for the head of the Xie family.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Dean, I will ask the head of the family to come out of seclusion."
As soon as he gritted his teeth, the old man started to speak. Now that the dean is here, today's matter is not so easy to solve. After all, this is not that girl. She has no love for Mrs. Xie, and she can't just say it in a few words.
Can be dismissed.
"Wake that old man up. I want to ask him personally why he is so shameless. Just because my disciple's surname is also Xie, so he can coerce her so shamelessly?"
The old man turned a deaf ear and left quickly, but he would definitely not tell the head of the Xie family this sentence.
However, after walking a few steps, a group of figures gathered not far away. An old man in a gray robe with white hair appeared. He looked helplessly at the dean, who still looked like a middle-aged man, and sighed, "You old man,
It’s finally here.”
This person is the great scholar Xie Xuan, the head of the Bailu Xie family.
The dean glanced at the white-haired old guy and snorted coldly, "If I don't come, you don't know when this old guy will die. I have to see you for the last time, right?"
After hearing this, Xie Xuan's expression remained as usual. He had known him for many years. He didn't know the temper of the old man in front of him, and he didn't care too much about his bad mouth. He just said calmly, "In another twenty years, he may not be able to..."
If you die, you may live a few more years than an old man like you."
"I am old?"
The dean shook his black hair, full of provocation.
In fact, the two of them are of the same generation, and the age gap is not big. If the head of the Xie family wants to, he can show off his black hair, but after all, they have different ideas.
"Be more frank and tell me how to compensate my disciple?"
The dean got straight to the point and didn't want to mince words here.
The head of the Xie family said calmly, "Can I hand over my White Deer Xie family to her?"
The dean frowned slightly, and after a moment he sarcastically said, "Bai
Mr. Lu Xie, what does it mean now?"
After more than two hundred years, the Xie family in the divine capital has become a top family in the entire Daliang Dynasty that can be compared with the Wei family. On the other hand, the Xie family in Bailu, although it is still a first-class family in Bailu Prefecture, but in the entire Daliang Dynasty,
, at least compared to the Xie family in Shendu, it is really far behind.
Xie Nandu is expected to become the next head of the Xie family in the divine capital, so why would he care about the Xie family in Bailu?
The head of the Xie family asked, "Do you really think that I, the Bailu Xie family, will be in decline?"
He looked at the dean with both eyes, as if he would take action immediately if the dean's answer was unsatisfactory.
The dean frowned and said, "Speaking of which, although I don't like your two words of thanks, you are still a bit bookish after all, so you are not that annoying."
The head of the Xie family smiled slightly, "After all, I have been a scholar from the beginning, so there must be something different."
The dean asked with a straight face, "Are you still considered scholars now?!"
The head of the Xie family still smiled and said, "I still remember clearly the atmosphere of studying in the academy back then. You, an old man, come from a humble background and come from the far south. Logically speaking, it is impossible for you to become the next dean. But in the end, there were so many people
Here, wasn’t it the last time you, a young man with a bad temper, became the dean?”
The dean retorted, "That's because you are blind and can't see the good things in me."
In fact, there are not many of that generation left now. If there was no such affection, even the dean would not be so polite.
The head of the Xie family sighed, "There really aren't many left."
The dean remained silent.
"That girl has her own ideas about that matter, and it's hard for me to do anything. The reason why she acted like this is actually because she's a little anxious."
The head of the Xie family looked at the dean and said with a smile, "I also want to use this incident to do what I want to do."
The dean sneered, "I don't have any objection if you want to borrow the sword, but that girl is my disciple, so you still have to compensate!"
The head of the Xie family said calmly, "I said, the entire Xie family is not enough?
"
The dean didn't speak.
"White Deer Xie's weight is really light, but..."
He only said half of what he said, then turned around and said with a smile, "Old man, there is a good young man in my house. Do you want to take a look, maybe you really like him, and then take him back to the academy?"
The dean shook his head. This was a rejection. As for the reason, he did not say.
The dean said, "I just want to know one thing, what do you think of that girl?"
After a pause, the dean said seriously again, "When Xie Xuan was studying in the academy, your teacher said that you have a scholarly spirit. If you concentrate on studying, you may become the best in the world in knowledge. If you concentrate on cultivation, you will forget your worries."
It's not difficult, but if you want to do both things, it's almost meaningless. I don't know if the teacher is right. I just want to ask you, after so many years, you are still the same as when I met you in Shendu.
The boy who passed away?"
Mentioning the former dean, the head of the Xie family frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking of.
He never answered the dean's question.
The dean already understood something and said with emotion, "It is difficult to just be a scholar."
"A scholar happened to be here a few days ago."
The head of the Xie family was talking about Wei Xu. The young man from the Wei family stepped into the Xie family's house in Bailu. Although he did not come out to see him, he knew very well what happened.
"His surname is Wei. It's hard to be just a scholar."
The head of the Xie family smiled and said, "You have helped the Xie family teach a formidable enemy."
The dean looked at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Who dares to blame me? If you don't accept it, come and bite me!"
This is not the first time that the dean has said such things, but even now, he is still confident and does not feel that he has done anything wrong.
There was nothing wrong with him.
As a scholar, teaching and educating people is naturally what he should do.
In front of the academy's hall, there has always been a plaque with just four words written on it.
There is no distinction between education and distinction.
