Several scholars are arrogant and arrogant, and they are always complimented wherever they go. Even when they failed in the imperial examination, they were not as embarrassed as they are today.
Today, I was scolded by a group of rural women and couldn't hold my head up. However, I was the one who was wronged. I didn't even know how to open my mouth to fight back. I felt so aggrieved that I wanted to commit suicide.
There are also a group of boys under Yun Chao, each of whom is more rude than the other, and they have been talking about a few people's failure to keep their promises.
"You agreed that if you wrongly accuse Brother Chao, you will kneel down and kowtow to him. Now you actually want to default on the debt. Are you still a man?"
Scholars, especially those in ancient times, generally have a characteristic: they want to save face.
Whether it is to keep promises and keep one's word, or to save face and suffer hardships, on the surface, he is not as shameless as some of the public figures of later generations.
Zhou Ping and the others couldn't bear the accusations from a bunch of idiots. They lifted up the hem of their gowns and knelt down to kowtow to Yun Chao.
Yun Chao seemed to be very frightened: "Oh, gentlemen, why are you doing this? These guys are just joking with you, don't take it seriously. Shitou, you still haven't apologized to these gentlemen."
The faces of Zhou Ping and others are all green. Don't just talk, be serious. You should hold us a little longer and don't let us kneel down!
This kid Yun Chao really has no eyesight. He just talks but doesn't do anything. He talks about don't, don't, and doesn't even move his body.
Zhou Ping and the others were very embarrassed. If they were ordinary people, they would be frightened when they saw several scholars kowtowing to themselves. Wouldn't they be afraid of shortening their lifespan if they asked the saint's disciples to kowtow to them?
However, this kid Yun Chao just doesn't move. Although it is said that a gentleman talks but does not take action, at this moment, it is better to take action at this time. What's the use of just talking?
In desperation, several people had no choice but to kneel down.
You are already ready to kowtow, you can't stand up halfway while kneeling, otherwise you won't be laughed to death!
Yun Chao felt funny in his heart. He knows that you scholars are so good at pretending, but now let’s see if you can pretend anymore. If you pretend to be so good, you will be struck by lightning. Doesn’t it feel good?
However, Yun Chao still needs to let a few people teach and give them some appropriate lessons. He cannot really offend them to death, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with him in the future.
Yun Chao also knew that the scholars of the Great Wu Dynasty had the best reputation. If they kowtowed to him today, several guys would definitely have knots in their hearts in the future. When the time comes, they would be unable to work hard, which would be bad.
So, Yun Chao stood up and did not go over to help Zhou Ping and the others. Instead, when they were kowtowing with their back molars clenched, they stepped aside and did not accept their courtesy.
Seeing Yun Chao get out of the way, Zhou Ping and the others finally felt a little more balanced.
Yun Chao seems to be a pretty good guy, and he also knows how to respect scholars...
Well!
Thinking of this, several scholars wanted to give themselves a slap in the face.
That's not bad. If Yun Er really respected scholars, he wouldn't let himself kneel down.
He didn't stop me when I knelt, and when I kowtowed, he moved away. Did this kid disrespect me, or did he not think of it when he knelt down just now?
Although Yun Chao got out of the way, he did not come to help the scholars himself. Instead, he said to his boys, "Look at how embarrassed you are making these gentlemen. Hurry up, help these gentlemen up, and apologize to them. If these gentlemen don't forgive you, just follow them, I don't want you anymore!"
Zhou Ping's faces turned even greener.
What does this boy Yun Er mean? If we don't forgive his men, we won't let them go. Let a few boys follow us back. Where will we go? Go back to our house?
Several scholars shuddered at the thought of Yun Chao's sharp-tongued men following them around every day.
There is still a wife, daughter, and family members at home. If they are targeted by these unruly boys, will they still be able to survive?
After what happened just now, several scholars finally realized that they must not regard this boy Yun Chao as an ordinary person.
This kid's thinking is different from that of ordinary people. If he really throws away his sleeves and leaves instead of staying to teach, he might actually let a bunch of boys follow him every day!
In fact, Yun Chao was overthinking.
Zhou Ping and the others knew that they had scolded the wrong person and that they were in the wrong, so they were embarrassed to leave.
He promised to stay and teach before, but now that he has wronged Yun Chao, he slaps his butt and leaves. Isn't this a clear sign for others to scold him?
After a few boys helped Zhou Ping and the others up, no one mentioned leaving.
Yun Chao was as polite as ever, as if what happened before had never happened, and personally sent several people to the north bank of Wolong Valley.
Walking to a row of houses that had just been built not long ago, Yun Chao took the key from Zhang Sihai's father, opened the door of a house himself, and let Zhou Ping in.
"Mr. Zhou, you can live here from now on. The house has just been built and many things have not been furnished yet. You can make do with it for now. I will have people deliver the furniture one after another in the past two days. Is Mr. satisfied?" "
Zhou Pingyuan originally thought that he would live in the village, living in the same dilapidated house as Yun Chao.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chao himself lived in a dilapidated house, but he arranged a new house for himself.
Moreover, as soon as the door is opened, a burst of hot air hits the face, making people feel warm and spring-like, and extremely comfortable.
In order to put them into use as soon as possible, as soon as these houses were built, Yun Chao had people start burning kangs to dispel the moisture in the new houses.
"this……"
Zhou Ping felt really embarrassed. As a teacher, he lived in a better place than his boss, Yunchao. Wasn't that a bit excessive?
Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Yun Chao say to Wang Han and others: "Gentlemen, this row of houses is all new. Each of you has one. I will send someone to take care of your life. If you need anything, just ask for it." Just tell him that if he can't handle it, I'll handle it myself."
Before anyone could say anything, Yun Chao said to Zhang Sihai's father: "Uncle Zhang, arrange for an honest and reliable person who doesn't have to do any other work. He will take care of the lives of several gentlemen, wash clothes, deliver meals, and clean the courtyard." remove……"
After the arrangements were made, Yun Chao let a few guys have a good rest and then left with them.
After Yun Chao left, the four guys got together again.
Looking at the brand new house, what happened before seems not so important anymore. Yun Chao lives in a dilapidated house, but allows himself to live in a new house. Isn't that enough to show that he values himself?
The only thing that made a few people uncomfortable was the sleeping area.
Country people are country people, and they actually sleep on earthen kangs.
I usually sleep on a bed, but now I have to sleep on a Tukang. Let’s not talk about whether it is falling off or not. The key is that I am not used to it!
Helpless, guests do as they please, Yun Chao has arranged it, and he can't say anything, so he can only adapt slowly.
"Hey, come and touch it, why is this kang so hot?"
