"Classmate Yang Yuezhen, learning is based on ability. What's the use of saying such harsh words? The imperial court selects talents, and those who are capable will be selected. Why don't you say that there are too many people taking the imperial examination and taking away your number one spot? !”
A shrewd little girl was not happy, raised her eyebrows and scolded him angrily.
Xia Shuangjun was responsible for managing school discipline. After seeing the little girl scolding her, Yang Yuezhen's husband couldn't help but started arguing again. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
"Chief Xia, this quota of candidates is arousing, and I have to persuade you to do so with just one or two words."
Tu Huirong came up with an idea: "The next class is a self-study class. How about a debate?"
"Excellent!" Xia Shuangjun clapped his hands and praised, "As the saying goes, there is no explanation. The girl and the husband are in the academy. They are both students and read the Holy Scriptures together. How can we distinguish between men and women? Since the imperial court intends to recruit people, Chu people should do things for the country and be kings. If you are loyal, why should you separate men and women?
However, the students had some grudges and couldn't figure it out for a while, so we started talking openly. It would be great if we could reach an agreement. If we seek common ground while reserving differences, we can also compete in a friendly manner. Don't hurt the harmony no matter what. "
By saying this, she played into Yang Yuezhen's hands, so she naturally wanted to encourage her classmates to say yes.
"Sister Yuan, I think he is here for you." Ouyang Ling whispered to Sheng Yuan who was fiddling with the abacus.
Sheng Yuan raised her head, met Yang Yuezhen's gaze, and nodded politely: "Oh."
When Ouyang Ling saw that she was calm and calm, he couldn't help being surprised: "You don't even give any reaction?"
Sheng Yuan gave him an incomprehensible look: "The school is not a court. If he wants to debate, just argue with him. How else to react? Is it possible to give him a beating?"
She is no longer a three- or four-year-old child. As an almost eight-year-old scholar, she still has to convince people with reason!
"Then what if he can't be convinced by your reasoning?" Ouyang Ling didn't expect that the older the girl got, the more polite she would be.
"If he is not convinced, it only means that he did not understand. The sage said that students should be taught in accordance with their aptitude. It can be seen that as long as you choose the right method to let him listen, he will naturally understand. Now that he understands, can he still be unconvinced?"
Sheng Yuan gave him a meaningful smile.
Ouyang Ling suddenly trembled when he saw it, and then quietly hid behind Anyu and Lu Sheng.
When Mr. He heard that the students in his class were going to have a debate, he felt that these children really had great ideas, so he praised their vivid and lively energy. As long as they study hard, maybe many talents will emerge in the future.
Thinking like this, he wanted to go over and listen; but after taking two steps, he was afraid that he would affect their performance, so he called Xia Shuangjun over and asked her to keep quiet and record the conversation quietly.
At the beginning of the debate, Yang Yuezhen took the lead in asking for the debate topic: "The root of our conflict is whether the young girl should participate in the talent selection."
"What you said is questioning the will of the Holy Emperor!" The little girl who spoke was the youngest daughter of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Her surname was Chen, and her single name was He.
"Classmate Chen He, please don't blame me. I'm just debating the little girl's future imperial examination, and it has nothing to do with the emperor's will." Yang Yuezhen was not stupid. After saying this, he immediately pointed his sword at Shengyuan, " I designate student Shengyuan to be the first to make a statement."
He also had his own little thoughts when he said this.
They say the last speech is the finale, and he can't give this highlight moment to that little girl.
As the host, Xia Shuangjun looked at Shengyuan and asked her opinion.
Sheng Yuan naturally had no objection. He had to speak anyway, so he had to speak early and be practical.
But before she spoke, she had a question to ask, and she asked the whole class: "Is there a time limit for speaking?"
She asked the classmates in the class who were startled.
Especially Yang Yuezhen, facing Sheng Yuan's peaceful gaze, he hesitated for a long time before saying, "No?"
"Oh, that's good." Sheng Yuan nodded, stood up, dusted off his robe, pushed An Yu away, walked to the front of the hall, and stood opposite the classmates.
She met everyone's gaze, her eyes moved slowly, and she chose three young men.
"I would like to ask classmates Yang Yuezhen, Lin Guangyu, and She Zhihua to cooperate. Is that okay?"
Sheng Yuan called her by name naturally, and those who didn't know thought she was the school inspector.
It was precisely because of this naturalness that the classmates in the class didn't think anything was wrong, and they all looked at the three people she nominated expectantly.
Yang Yuezhen considered himself someone who had fought against Sheng Yuan before. Although he was wary, in line with the principle of not losing the battle, he puffed up his chest and nodded slightly.
With him proofreading in front, the other two gentlemen could not object, and they all nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Sheng Yuan showed a bright smile.
"Hello everyone, I am Sheng Yuan from our class, everyone knows me. Since classmate Yang Yuezhen chose me to speak first, then I will introduce some ideas and tell everyone my own truth first. I hope you don't like it or not. I agree, please allow me to explain it completely, and then ask the students to correct me."
After she said this openly, she began to walk slowly in the desk: "People say that it is rude to come and go without reciprocating. Since I asked three classmates to cooperate, they will naturally keep an eye on me. In this case , then I won’t bother you, I’ll just talk about myself first, so that everyone can relax.”
Her tone of voice was lively and her expression was lively, which made the classmates laugh softly. Even the young man, who stood in the same position as Yang Yuezhen, no longer resisted her.
"Now that you're talking about me, let's talk about my ideals first." Sheng Yuan paced and said, "Speaking of ideals, I have to mention my brother and sister... At this point, someone may want to ask, what do you mean? Why is your ideal still related to your brothers and sisters?"
"Hey! That's right, my ideal is related to them. Don't worry, students, let me tell you."
Shengyuan's little pass, combined with her tactful tone of voice, really brought the students into the situation.
"My brother is twelve years older than me. He has been elected to the imperial examination before he was crowned. He is also very talented in both civil and military affairs.
My sister is six years older than me. She is currently studying at the Imperial College for Girls, and her grades have always been among the best. The gentlemen at the Imperial College all praise my sister for her intelligence and studiousness, and that she is truly a pillar of talent.
Hearing this, many students may say, do you feel a lot of pressure if you have such an outstanding brother and sister? "
When she said this, many classmates in the seats who were illuminated by the brothers and sisters couldn't help showing expressions of sympathy.
Unfortunately, Sheng Yuan unexpectedly clapped her hands and laughed: "How is that possible?! Pressure? It doesn't exist! I can only be happy!"
When she saw someone showing an expression like "You are forcing your laughter", she couldn't help but wonder: "Think about it, with brothers and sisters with such promising futures, as long as I encourage them to be positive and work hard, the rest will be waiting. Let them take me flying?! Why should I be stressed about such a wonderful thing?"
