"It's Mr. Guangkang!"
Xiang Zheng knew immediately that the person coming was Mr. Guangkang, who taught him "music skills". He quickly put down the food in his hands and ran towards the door quickly.
I saw Master Guangkang, who was carrying a guqin "Cui Que", dressed in white and with fluttering sleeves, entering the banquet hall with a halo like a banished immortal.
Following him in, there were three other gentlemen who taught Zheng "rituals, calligraphy, and mathematics": Guan Ya, Zhan Hui, and Zan Yi, all wearing dark blue clothes.
"I don't think it's such a pity that four of us are not present at such a happy event for Mrs. Xiang!" Zan Yi is the shortest among these people, but his proportions are appropriate. If taken alone, he can still be considered tall. For an adult with normal proportions, the only thing that's uncoordinated is that his head seems a little too big. The full heaven is filled with all kinds of planning and calculations, which can often drive Xiang Zheng to madness, and it is also his last... The gentleman I'm most afraid of seeing.
He was very professional, and he taught mathematics after all. He emphasized the "four people" as soon as he opened his mouth, so as to enhance the effect in Mrs. Xiang's ears.
"Hello, gentlemen! Please come to the banquet quickly. It was my fault that I didn't inform you all in time. Zheng'er went hunting for the first time today and came back slightly injured. I gave him and the two of you the 'Guarding and Shooting' The teacher was so surprised that he accepted the news, the sound and shadow were too dramatic, and the arrangement was not appropriate. Unexpectedly, it would alarm Guangsheng, Guansheng, Zhansheng and Zansheng. I was still thinking about the writing of Hao Jing by several gentlemen, and maybe I would not like this. It was noisy, so I didn't tell you in advance. Please forgive the foolish woman for not thinking carefully! What a neglect!" After saying "seasoning", he turned to the servant and ordered: "Hurry and set up seats for the four gentlemen!"
Mrs. Xiang was obviously well prepared mentally and did not make any mistakes. When she saw several gentlemen who came in uninvited, they looked like they were "seeking justice" and launched a crusade. She just pretended to defend and apologize in a low voice and smiled. She was sincerely invited to the scene and performed the entire process. She blurted out a complete statement that sounded logically correct, and nothing particularly unreasonable. It seemed that she had good intentions and was actually just a bowl of water. He is fair and treats these gentlemen "not too lightly". The reason why he doesn't invite them to the banquet is because he sincerely considers them, so as not to let them eat too much meat or watch too many murderous performances. It's dirtying their stomachs, dirtying their eyes, and maybe they'll develop high blood pressure, fatty liver, or a heart attack. Look at her, how deep she is in her heart. Love and protect them!
"Madam cherishes our body, but does not cherish our reputation. It is really painful!" Guan Ya bowed solemnly first, then straightened his upper body and said to Madam Xiang with a serious face, " Our teachers have taught us the six virtues: 'wisdom, faith, sage, benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty', the six conducts: 'filial piety, friendship, harmony, marriage, responsibility, and compassion', and the six arts: 'ritual, music, and shooting. , Yu, Shu, Shu', since ancient times, although people in the world are different, they have different identities. Nobility, inferiority, seniority, and relative distance all follow their own traces, and each has its own etiquette. Moreover, a family that accumulates good deeds will have a happy life, and a family that accumulates bad deeds will have a happy ending. There is more trouble. We are all Zheng's masters. We should lead his position, follow his path, be a teacher for others, and be the first to model his etiquette, showing that his world is fair and the right path is long. Now, the four of us, although we have the title of master, However, it is really a disgrace to us that we are not qualified to be teachers. We feel ashamed that we have no role model for Zheng Er. In this case, in Madam’s heart, the four of us are people without virtue, talent and incompetence, and are not worthy of being Zheng Er’s teacher. , let’s say goodbye together! Please allow each of you to return to your hometown!”
I have always known that this supervisor can’t control his own teeth at all - no matter what, once he takes charge of it, everything will be put on the line, and the people being disciplined will have "heinous" feelings at every turn. Guilt. Today was a good day. The beautiful thing of "treating gentlemen to a big dinner" was not shared by their teachers. Originally, in private, someone secretly informed the four of them and asked the madam to teach "shooting" privately. The red envelopes given to Yang Feng and Zhao Huai of "Yang Yu" are more than those given to them. They have long been dissatisfied. There is such a big commotion in the house today. If we don't catch a "current person" now, ", to make a "disgrace", these "gentle and gentle" gentlemen will really be looked down upon by Mrs. Xiang, and their dignity will be trampled on in all kinds of ways. The injustice and resentment in their hearts are really difficult to eliminate and have no place to go. Diarrhea. You know, these are people who value their face even more than the sky.
In fact, all people have good face, but the face of literati seems to be thinner but tougher.
Of the four people who complained, three of them had spoken. Only Zhan Hui, who taught "calligraphy", remained silent. He only had an expression of approval on his face that said he "agree with the previous ones" and raised his hands simultaneously. , made a statement to participate in the "collective resignation" action.
The scene that was originally full of laughter, singing and dancing suddenly turned into an awkward scene because of the collective appearance of these four people. Everyone was in awe, and the entire banquet hall was silent.
Mrs. Xiang did not expect that these "soft persimmons" who usually seemed amiable, respectful and obedient could suddenly become so hard that they could no longer be squeezed. Only then did she realize that today was a big deal. This kind of differential treatment would bring about The evil consequences came exactly when they were supposed to come.
Xiang Zheng ran to the door to greet the four masters. When he saw the adults, they all froze there and no one spoke. He knew that at this time, he was the only one who could solve this mess, so he hurriedly He turned around and walked to Mrs. Xiang, pulled her clothes and said coquettishly:
"Please forgive me, mother! It's all my fault for being playful and afraid. I am very strict in my teachings about walking, sitting and lying. There are many rules for walking, sitting and lying. If I do anything wrong, I will often be punished and my words will be sharp. I believe that my piano skills are acceptable and I will show off my skills in public. I no longer always feel grateful for Guangsheng's contribution to enlightenment; I am also afraid of lengthy articles and endless writing, and I feel resentful towards Zhansheng; I even hate that Zhansheng deceives me, and often relies on countless calculations to piece together everything, so that I am suffering unspeakably. The bad feeling I have had in my mother's heart for these four lives is all because of my laziness and idle talk. I am also a double-tongued person, which makes my mother have a discriminating mind. She loves Yang Sheng who taught me "shooting and control". , Zhao Sheng. So far today, all the injustices and grievances that the gentlemen have suffered are all due to misunderstandings caused by my improper preferences. Please kindly ask me not to allow the resignation of the four gentlemen. I hereby make a vow: From now on , treat all six gentlemen equally, treat them like biological fathers, respect them as relatives, love them as equals, and dare not stay behind others and make more quarrels, which will lead to conflicts and disputes, ruin others' reputations, and ruin our own future."
After taking all the blame on Zheng himself and explaining sincerely to his mother, Fu turned to the four gentlemen who had stiffened the standard "collective resignation" gesture, then knelt down directly facing them and made a gesture of support with both hands. Di and Tou Shou gave the highest level of gift, and at the same time said: "I would also like to ask the four gentlemen to take back their resignations. The students are still young. Please forgive me for my stupidity. I am in urgent need of training. In the next few years, I will rely on the guidance of these few people." !”
After listening to her son's long "self-reproach", Mrs. Xiang was stunned for a while, and then she slowly said:
