There were many people watching in front of the academy, and they were all shocked when they heard this sentence.
Uncle Chang Bei has always shown a good temper in front of them. Even when facing ordinary people, he always has a gentle smile on his face.
This was the first time that uncle showed his strong side in front of them.
Everyone present quietly looked at Yu Guang, only to find that Yu Guang still had a gentle smiling face.
This made everyone shrink their necks: Uncle Uncle was obviously smiling, but why did he look so scary.
The guards of the uncle's house would naturally listen to Yu Guang's words and immediately hit Zhang Bo with sticks.
Yu Jing, at Yu Guang's signal, carried Zhang Bo's basket of eggs aside.
Under the attack of the guards, Zhang Bo could only try to hold his head.
In fact, Zhang Bo couldn't understand why he had to encounter this when he clearly just wanted to learn.
Feeling that the guards had almost beaten him, he walked slowly to Zhang Bo with his hands behind his back out of the corner of his eye, looking down at the fifteen-year-old boy: "Are you wronged?"
Although the guards were merciful and did not injure Zhang Bo, Zhang Bo still felt severe pain all over his body and felt extremely aggrieved: "I just want to study."
Didn't Uncle Changbei encourage everyone to study? If he didn't want to accept him, he would just drive him away. Why did he do this?
Yu Guang smiled and nodded: "You want to study, and then you find out that I have a free academy. So if you want to study, you think you can go to my free academy and have sex for free, right?"
Zhang Bo's tears stagnated. Although he didn't know what free prostitution meant, his intuition told him that it was not a good word.
Yu Guang originally had no intention of listening to what Zhang Bo said: "You want to study and have no money, but you think you are poor and you are justified, so as long as you kneel at the entrance of the academy with a basket of eggs that can't cost more than a hundred yuan, you can let people see you. to your determination to study.
If a gentleman in the academy feels compassion for you, he might think that you are determined and accept you as a disciple.
And since I have run such an academy, I must be someone who is seeking fame and reputation. As long as you show your attitude, I will take advantage of the situation and admit you, and maybe you can have a good talk. "
Zhang Bo held his head and curled up without saying a word. This was a humiliating feeling as if he had been stripped naked in front of everyone.
Yu Guang picked up the basket of eggs and put them back to Zhang Bo: "In your heart, what is the purpose of studying, to change the lintel and honor the ancestors?"
Yu Guang paused and continued: "I think you have reached the age of marriage this year and must have become a magistrate. Then tell me, a person who breaks other people's rules for his own selfish desires, even if he really studies, will he be a good person in the future? He is a good official."
There was a gurgling sound in Zhang Bo's throat, and he felt like he had been torn apart from his peripheral vision.
Out of the corner of his eye, he pushed up his glasses slightly: "Are you going to leave on your own, or am I going to order someone to throw you out of the city."
Zhang Bo stood up with force, picked up his basket of eggs and stumbled out of the city.
After all this trouble, other people who wanted to take shortcuts also stopped thinking.
This Uncle Chang Bei is really ruthless, they had better not act rashly.
Looking at Zhang Bo's walking back, Yu Xin quietly exclaimed: "Really!"
Yu Jing quickly touched her with her elbow: "Don't talk nonsense."
Since they are following their uncle now, they cannot raise objections to his words, otherwise they will be laughed at.
Yu Xin sighed: "I remember when I was in the building, I didn't see anyone. This kind of thing happens a second time. Let's collect people today, and tomorrow there will be people kneeling outside the gate. , I can’t even push the door open, I break all the rules myself.”
She just didn't expect that there were people like this in the Northland.
It’s not that people here are simple-minded and don’t have so many twists and turns.
It seems today that these words were probably not spread by the people in the North themselves!
Yu Jing was a little silent. She originally thought Yu Xin was careless, but she didn't want to be so transparent.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Yu Xin had already
He leaned closer to Yu Guang and said, "Uncle, will you fight this guy next time he comes over?"
Yu Jing was stunned for a moment. How could he still come here after being beaten like this?
But I heard Yu Guang respond softly: "Then it depends on how he does it."
This is not someone who gives up easily.
Otherwise she wouldn't have spent so much time talking.
Yu Jing: "..." You still dare to come, aren't you afraid of death?
In the following months, Yu Jing never saw Zhang Bo again.
She originally thought that this person had given up, but when she accompanied Yu Guang on a tour of the academy, she happened to see Zhang Bo carrying manure and watering the ground.
It turns out that Zhang Bo did not give up studying, but thought of other ways to sneak into the academy.
He helped the academy carry manure and water the ground every day, and took care of the debris that no one wanted to do.
The steward of the academy agreed that he could copy books in the library, and he would be provided with food and accommodation.
As for wages, others earn two cents per month, but he only earns five cents per month.
Fortunately, he is diligent and helps other students with odd jobs when he has nothing to do. As a reward, he can ask each other for words he doesn't know at any time.
Seeing him coming from the corner of his eye, the color on Zhang Bo's face instantly faded. It was obvious that the previous experience of being beaten was firmly imprinted in his mind.
I originally thought that Yu Guang would drive me away in disgust, but I didn't expect that Yu Guang just gave him a look, and then said to him: "You did a good job."
That calm look made Zhang Bo understand that Yu Guang had forgotten him.
But this kind of being forgotten made Zhang Bo feel more and more sad. Is he really inconspicuous?
Unexpectedly, that night, Cen Fuzi, a fifth-grade professor at the academy, personally tested his homework.
After learning about his study situation, Master Cen told him that the academy could give him two chances.
If he can get into the top three of fifth grade like other students, then he will have the opportunity to enter the school for free.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bo immediately knelt in front of Master Cen. He could finally study.
Unexpectedly, Master Cen told him that Uncle Chang Bei personally ordered this matter.
After learning the news, Zhang Bo couldn't speak for a long time and just kowtowed several times in the direction of the city lord's palace.
It turned out that Uncle Changbei had never forgotten him.
On the way back to the city, Yu Xin beat Yu Guang's legs and said softly, "Just be soft-hearted."
Out of the corner of his eye, he picked up a piece of cake from the table and said, "Do you think the officials in the capital would like to eat this kind of dry food they bring with them when traveling?"
Yu Xin shook his head: "Of course not. People like them have thin throats. They can't swallow this cake!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he put the cake back on the table: "If I throw the cake out now, do you think anyone will pick it up?"
Yu Xin nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this is fine food."
Although the three cities are now wealthy, they are not at the point where they can eat fine grains at will.
Not to mention, the residents of other cities in the North are still living a miserable life!
