Chapter 820 I won't redeem myself, old man

The deputy principal of Taizhou Academy covered his mouth at that time... Laoqiong, you are so bold. You are still thinking about their big warehouse. Aren’t you afraid that they will grind you into meat paste!

Lao Qiong refused to give in and offered conditions for settlement.

That is, let the famous teachers of Taizhou Academy organize a fundraising event, and make it practical so as to stockpile anti-enemy supplies for the Northeast Province in advance.

We want supplies, not banknotes or waste paper!

He also threatened: "If I come back and you haven't done it yet, I will write a poem to scold you and make you infamous for eternity. I have the ability to do that!"

……

The Duke of Yan used just two sentences to explain how Master Jing had scolded the famous teachers at Taizhou Academy.

"Master Xun has taught a good disciple."

After hearing this, Lao Qiong straightened his chest, waiting to be praised by old man Xun.

Old Man Xun was very pleased and asked: "Poor kid, you have to keep a close eye on the fundraising. You have to send them a scolding letter every five days to urge them to do so, otherwise they will get lax if they don't get scolded for a long time."

Ying Zilin: “…”

"Old Doctor Xun, you are a famous scholar who will go down in history. You can't give you bad advice. It will ruin your reputation."

Xun Lao glanced at him, his face full of disdain, and asked Lao Qiong: "Is he your real disciple?"

Master Jing hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Master. I haven't officially become your disciple yet, so it's not serious."

Ying Zilin: “…”

Huang Yanglong couldn't help but burst into laughter, slapping his thigh with laughter: "Ying Zilin, you are not serious, hahahaha!"

"Huang Yanglong, you must not be rude in front of Duke Yan." Ying Zilin was so angry that he was almost angry, but he still put on a serious look and scolded Huang Yanglong.

Huang Yanglong took a few steps back, looking at him with disdain, and said to Xue Mingyi: "Xue Mingyi, stay away from Ying Zilin. You are already a nerd enough. If you get close to him, you will become a pretentious and impure nerd."

Xue Mingyi: “…”

"Huang Yanglong, you are just a rough and uncouth person..." Ying Zilin suddenly stopped talking, turned to Duke Yan and Master Jing, and saluted, "Duke Yan and Master Jing, I am sorry for my rudeness."

The establishment of the Merchant Alliance showed that the imperial court wanted to use merchants to fight the enemy, and Jing Lao said that the merchants contributed a lot to their ability to use goods.

They are all doing their job, and they, as scholars, have no right to insult merchants.

Huang Yanglong was very proud and said arrogantly: "Curse me, why don't you curse me? What am I? A rude and cheap businessman, right?"

"Ying Zilin, you just won't change despite repeated admonitions. Get out of here. We don't need you here!" Lao Qiong was really angry.

"Sir..." Ying Zilin felt a little aggrieved, but he knew that he had angered the teacher several times today, so it would be best to avoid him first: "Yes, I will leave now, please calm down, sir, and don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Then he looked at Xue Mingyi: "Junior Brother Xue, take good care of the gentleman for me."

"My Lord, I'm leaving." Ying Zilin bowed and took his leave, and the joyful atmosphere in the main hall returned to normal.

"Master, rest assured. I will write to them every five days to scold them. I will scold them so much that they will spit out their supplies and give them to Northeast Province to fight the enemy!" Old Master Jing asked again, "Master, where have you been all these years? Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Old Man Xun looked at Jiang Dalang and said, "Master, please tell this poor boy about my experiences over the years... I am old and will get tired if I talk too much."

"As for why I left without saying goodbye, it was because I found my relatives, but they offered me two large farms as inducements, asking me to cut off all ties with Xiaoqiong Temple and not to reveal my identity and whereabouts to the people I met during my time at Xiaoqiong Temple."

"I told the temple to leave food for you. Every year after the autumn harvest, I would give you 10% of the farm's output so that you could go to a private school. Didn't you receive it?"

Although Qiongwa was accepted as his apprentice in a hasty manner, he was still his first apprentice, so the feelings towards him were still different.

So before leaving, he arranged the poor boy's livelihood to prevent his first apprentice from starving to death.

After hearing this, Mr. Jing was so moved that he shed tears: "After Master disappeared, I went to Xiaoqiong Temple and still had food to eat, but I couldn't find Master's whereabouts. They wouldn't tell me."

"More than half a year after my master left, the Luan family came to pick me up. I went to Jianghuai Prefecture and later to the capital."

Jing Lao was a descendant of the Luan family, a prominent family in Jianghuai.

Just sixty years ago, there was a war in the Wei Dynasty, and Jing Lao's parents were killed by rebels while fleeing. Jing Lao was taken to his relatives' home in Zhongyuan Prefecture by a servant.

His relatives were not well off, so they looked down on him. He had a hard life in his childhood and was hungry every day.

Later, after meeting Mr. Xun, he was able to have enough food to eat, have someone to treat his illness, and learn to read and write.

But his parents were gone, so when he first returned to the Luan family, he was not taken seriously...

"Fortunately, thanks to the scriptures taught by my master, I was able to gain the favor of my ancestors and achieve this success."

So in his heart, Master is different. Even though Zilin's worries are normal, he is still angry that Zilin disrespects his Master!

"Hey, it seems that I, an old man, have learned many skills." Old Xun was very satisfied.

When he first saw the poor child, he knew that this child would be remembered in history.

But this cannot be said.

Otherwise, the people around Duke Yan would probably kidnap him and bring him back to the capital to report to Emperor Wuxing.

"Master Jiang, please tell me about my experience. I am tired." After throwing the work to Jiang Dalang, Old Man Xun picked up his chopsticks and ate happily: "Hmm, the dishes are delicious, but too bland. Duke, please give the order and ask the chef to make some Shuzhou dishes. That will be more delicious."

Duke Yan smiled and said, "Okay, I will pass it on."

Seeing this, Huang Yanglong also pulled Xue Mingyi to sit down and eat, and called Yan Ji.

Before the meal was over, Jiang Dalang had finished telling the story of Mr. Xun's experience.

Wuuwuwu, Master Jing cried uncontrollably and knelt down again: "I am an unfilial disciple. I let Master go through all these tragedies alone."

"Tsk, what tragedy? That's retribution." Old Man Xun said, "Get up quickly, and stop doing these sad things every day. You're crying your life short."

Old man Xun was very open-minded about family affairs, and in his opinion, it was indeed the retribution he deserved.

As a member of the family, he has enjoyed the benefits, so he should also bear the consequences together.

But, pity his wife and children.

It’s okay, I’ll pay them back in the next life.

"Stop crying, hurry up and get up to eat. If you don't eat, Master Huang will eat all the food."

"Old man, are you looking for a fight? I've been hungry for most of the day, so what's wrong with eating a little more? But you, you're still eating on the way back to Noon Garden, your stomach is bloated, and you're still eating like a whale, be careful not to get an upset stomach, or you'll roll around in pain!"

"Young Master Huang has grown up and now knows the word 'swallowing'." Old man Xun had a look of shock and relief on his face.

Huang Yanglong groaned, "Old man, you are slandering me again. Be careful or I will tell the daughter of the Qin family about what you did in the capital and let her punish you to death!"

The two of them ate and argued at the same time, and the atmosphere was very good.

Seeing this, Master Jing felt much better. He said, "Mr. Jiang, I want to redeem my master. Please name a price. Whether it's gold or silver or material exchange, as long as the request is not too excessive, I will accept it."

Before Jiang Dalang could say anything, Old Man Xun became anxious: "What are you doing, poor kid? Want to ruin my good life? I'm telling you, give up this idea right away, I won't redeem you!"
