On the contrary, the third brother has one at home, but unfortunately he is working abroad now...
While he was lost in thought, Shi Jun had already taken Jiang Liniang to the open space outside the ancestral hall and started giving lectures. He quickly collected himself and began to listen attentively.
At this moment, a woman's commotion was heard not far away.
The county magistrate couldn't help but frown.
Li Zheng immediately passed over: "Be silent and don't talk too much!"
He seemed a little surprised: "The eldest son of the Jin family..."
The county magistrate turned his head and glanced, but it was a young man whose behavior was completely different from that of the villagers. When he saw him, he looked over and bowed his hand to him politely.
The county magistrate was unsure of his identity, so he nodded slightly in response.
Then I heard the women talking.
"Jin Dalang? He actually dares to come?!"
"You also say that you are a person who reads books from saints and sages. How shameless!"
County magistrate:? Wow, there’s a melon!
You can always listen to what the sages say, but not gossip.
Louder, tell me to listen, tell me to listen!
The aunt was very cooperative and immediately began to explain in detail: "I think he regretted it. When the orphans and widowers moved here, they took the initiative to propose marriage to the Jiang family. Once they were selected, they immediately turned against each other. It’s gone!”
County magistrate:? The owner of the melon is Miss Jiang Er, the disciple Shi Gong has just accepted? !
The gossip continued: "How could he have imagined that in the blink of an eye, Miss Jiang Er would be accepted as a closed disciple by Mr. Shi!"
"Bah, this shameless guy, how can he have the nerve to come here to listen to Miss Jiang Er's teacher?!"
County magistrate: Hey, what the hell is this? After withdrawing from the Jiang family girl, why do you have the nerve to take advantage of the Jiang family girl and come here to listen to Shi Gong's lecture? !
It's so shameless!
He immediately showed off his carriage and gave Jin Yu a hard look.
However, he found that the other party did not look at him at all, but looked attentively, listening to Shi Gong's lecture attentively.
The county magistrate who was on the job was stung: Damn you, you are just pretending!
As the number one celebrity in the contemporary world, Shi Jun's own knowledge is certainly enough to overwhelm the current generation. Using it to teach the young people of Xibao Village is simply a waste of money.
By the end of the lecture, the young people were fascinated and intoxicated by it. Only Jin Yu stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Shi Gong, there are still some things that I don't understand about this junior. Can I ask you for advice?"
Jiang Liniang: "..."
Oh grass!
There's a reason why people can get ahead. How shameless do you have to be to come to Zeng's former fiancée's class with shamelessness, and then shamelessly come up and ask for one-on-one tutoring after that? !
In the past, I tolerated you because I was inferior to others. Now I have to tolerate you. Do you think I am a fool? !
Jiang Liniang was furious: "Jin Yu! It's in vain that you have read the book of sages and won the election. Do you know how to write the four words of etiquette, justice and integrity?!"
"Back then, your orphaned and widowed mother came to Xibao Village and came to ask for a marriage with my Jiang family. Is that true or not?! How have the Jiang family treated your mother and son in these years? As a result, you came to break off the engagement as soon as you were elected. How can such behavior be described as ungrateful?! In what state of mind do you have to appear in front of me now, to ignore me and ask me, teacher, to answer your questions?!"
After hearing this, Jin Yu couldn't help showing a bit of shame on his face, but he acted calmly.
He gathered his clothes and bowed solemnly to Jiang Liniang, and apologized: "What happened that day was my fault. All the sins are my fault. No matter how angry or annoyed Liniang is, it's all my fault that I should bear." of……"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman crying. It was Mrs. Zou who came from nowhere. She threw herself at Shi Jun's feet crying, with regret on her face, and choked with sobs: "It's not his fault, it's his fault." I forced him to die, so he had no choice but to obey!"
She cried so hard that her face was full of tears, her eyes were red, and she looked at Jiang Mandun eagerly: "Eldest brother of the Jiang family, his father passed away just after he turned five years old. I, a weak woman, went through all kinds of hardships to take care of him. It’s not easy to raise him! I know that your family treats me, mother and son, with great kindness, but as a mother, I hope that he will live well! What happened before was because of me Confused, if you want to hit or scold, come at me, please let Dalang go!"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Jiang Mantun one after another, with such force that the stone bricks made a clanking sound.
Jiang Mandun has been an honest friend for decades, how could he have seen this before?
Goodbye. There were at least a few hundred people watching, and they were immediately at a loss.
Jiang Liniang even laughed.
It's really green but not fragrant. It would be a pity that you two didn't go to a circus. You cooperate so well.
One thing is, can you stop treating everyone except you two as fools?
In the past, the Jiang family had to accept the reality of breaking off the engagement because they were inferior to others in terms of power, and not because their brains were inferior to others. Now, who are you showing off to show off your car to protect your boss?
She was about to speak, but Shi Yun raised his hand and stopped her.
Jiang Liniang looked over, and Shi Jun smiled and shook his head slightly at her, indicating that she shouldn't be impatient.
Jiang Liniang stopped talking.
Shi Yun just sat quietly on the seat, saying nothing, watching Mrs. Zou crying bitterly.
And his calmness and silence also caused the rest of the people in the room to slowly stop talking.
Zou's crying gradually became quieter.
Zou's crying decreased.
Zou started to sob.
Zou finally couldn't cry anymore.
Shi Yun then turned to Jin Yu, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and called out kindly: "The eldest son of the Jin family?"
Jin Yu said respectfully: "Shi Gong."
Shi Jun calmly asked him: "The Jiang family has taken care of your orphans and widowed mothers for several years, and they are kind to your family. Is it true or false?"
Jin Yu moved his lips and forced a smile: "These years..."
Shi Jun's tone was still warm, but he interrupted him without any refusal: "You just need to tell me, is it true or false?"
Jin Yu lowered his head in embarrassment: "It's true."
Shi Jun asked again: "After you won the election, you came to your home to cancel the engagement. Is it true or false?"
Jin Yu whispered: "...This is true."
Shi Jun asked again: "Do you really feel sorry for your benefactor?"
Jin Yu said: "Of course I am sincerely upset. I..."
Shi Jun's expression gradually became serious: "When recruiting scholars in this dynasty, it is true that talent is valued, but character is even more important! If you treat kind people like this, how can we expect you to be the parents of the people in the future? Treat people well?!"
He turned to the county magistrate aside and said seriously: "Take my name card, take his county registration record, and submit it to Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion to revoke his title and set an example to others!"
The county magistrate immediately responded: "Yes!"
Jiang Liniang made a fist with her right hand and put it against her mouth to prevent herself from laughing on the spot.
The head of the Jiang family was so comfortable that his brows trembled.
Only Jin Yuru was struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
"No--"
Zou let out a heart-rending howl and almost crawled to Shi Yun: "Shi Gong, don't blame him! It was me who insisted on him breaking off the engagement, and he did it as a last resort. , this dynasty has always governed the world with filial piety——"
Shi Yun said: "You asked him to do this?"
Mr. Zou nodded like he was pounding garlic and kept saying: "I forced him. What he didn't want was because I forced him to die, so he was forced to agree -"
Shi Jun asked Jin Yu again: "Is that so? Is your mother threatening you with her life?"
Jin Yu clenched his nails on his palms, forced himself to nod, and said painfully: "Yes, as a son of a human being, how can a student go against his mother's wishes?"
Shi Jun immediately sneered and said, "You have also read the books of sages. Don't you even understand the principle of a filial son not flattering his relatives? Your mother is a foolish old woman who has no regard for kindness. What can you do for her today?" Being ungrateful, won’t I have to commit treason and surrender to the enemy for her tomorrow?!”
Jin Yu's heart trembled when he heard that, his knees softened, and he knelt down, but he did not argue, he just cried: "I was so dizzy at that time, I only had the word "filial piety" in my heart, and I couldn't care about much else. …”
Shi Jun said sternly: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You have a mother like this. How can you be a good person under the guidance of words and deeds? Such an unworthy woman has taught an unjust person. Do you think that little bit of hypocrisy?" Is your filial piety enough to cover up other flaws?! You are so smart!"
Jin Yu still wanted to argue: "Does Mr. Shi want me to watch my mother die in front of me?"
Jiang Liniang saw that this scoundrel was like a tough-mouthed bastard, biting the word "filial piety" and not letting go. She was really annoyed, and she was afraid that Shi Yun couldn't deal with such a villain, so she wanted to speak, but she couldn't. Once he was blocked by Shi Yun.
Shi Jun asked Jin Yu: "In your eyes, who is more important, you or your mother?"
Jin Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "Of course, mother is more important."
Shi Jun asked Jin Yu: "Your father passed away when you were five years old. You should have started to remember things at that time. Was he a treacherous villain or a simple gentleman?"
Jin Yu could only say: "My father is a simple gentleman."
Shi Jun said again: "Are your ancestors all disloyal and unjust people?!"
Jin Yu could only shake his head: "Of course not."
Shi Jun then asked solemnly: "In this case, how can you sit back and watch your mother be accused of being ungrateful and coercing her son to death?! You only care about your mother, but put the reputation of your father and ancestors Have you forgotten everything?! You are simply a descendant of the Jin family in vain!"
Jin Yu: "..."
Shi Jun used his own way to treat the other person's body: "Your mother is going to do something ungrateful. As a son of a human being, can you only blindly listen and follow the way? Why can't you sacrifice your life for righteousness?" Fighting with death? You also read the books of sages, don’t you know what it means to kill oneself to achieve benevolence?! If you can make your mother wake up, preserve the reputation of your ancestors, and save a mere life, why do you care so much?!"
Jin Yu: "..."
Jin Yu was dripping with cold sweat and was speechless.
Jiang Liniang couldn't help but said in her heart, "Wucao, so strong!".
Shi Yun killed him in two or three strokes, and wanted to pursue the culprit again: "The reason is very simple, because you cherish your life, you are greedy for life and fear death! Because by breaking off the engagement, it is the interests of other families that are harmed, and it has nothing to do with you. Fuck, yes or no?!”
He looked at Jin Yu, who had a pale face, and said mockingly: "If you can walk all the way to the dark side and are determined to abandon the old and join the new, you will be considered a magnanimous villain. What will happen today?" Fa, in order to avoid blame, you can calmly and confidently blame everything on your mother, you are actually a hypocrite!"
When Jin Yu heard this, he was already sweating profusely, and then he thought that the conclusion of this hypocrite was made by the head of the scholar community. With this evaluation, he was afraid that he would say goodbye to his fame in this life, and even his teacher His classmates would also cut ties with him, but they felt suddenly disappointed.
Ms. Zou also understood that her son's life was probably over, and the hope she had longed for for several years was shattered right in front of her eyes.
Ms. Zou let out an almost sad cry: "How could you, how could you - Mr. Shi kill me with words!"
"I'm not afraid of that kind of rhetoric."
Shi Jun sighed softly: "How many years have you lived, how many people have you met? I have met world-famous talents, tyrants designated by history books, met countless famous ministers, and experienced many traitors and sycophants. Countless. Why do you think you can take advantage of me? You are so stupid!"
He told the county magistrate: "Get these two things away quickly, they will make a lot of noise!"
