Chapter 27 Arrogant Master Xu

Zhang Chuchen could see clearly not far away and secretly praised him. This trick was so clever that the Du family eliminated their opponents, took in five bandits, and could still deal with the county magistrate. Everything was on track. It was no longer time to be conservative and cautious. It was time to stand in front of others and stand in Luoxia Town.

When he returned home, Du Shaoqing asked about the incident, why did he fight with someone for no reason?

Du Shaoming said indignantly: "The Wang man named Wang relies on some of his family's land and looked down on people everywhere. Today he took his son to Xu Master Xu's house to become a disciple. When he came back, he met us. The boy from his family was not a good thing. Seeing that our Xuanxuan was cute, I came to provoke him, so I pushed him away.

Who knew that Wang Youtian was reluctant to let go and said that I bullied his son. He also said that his son had made a name for himself as a teacher. He was lucky to be able to fall in love with a village girl like our Du family daughter. He even said that in the future, he would marry his son and marry Xuanxuan as his concubine..."

Du Shaoqing was furious and kicked the short coffee table in front of him, turned over and wanted to go out and beat the king and landlord up.

Zhang Chuchen, who had just entered the door, stopped him with a smile, "You have already knocked someone out of coma, and if you beat him again, you may not be killed."

"Hmph, isn't his surname Wang also a family in this poor mountain valley? What qualifications do you have to look down on my daughter? Is it just his foolish son?

What's wrong with reading and literacy? Wait, now I'll go to find Master Xu in the private school. I want Xuanxuan to read and literate too. Not only that, I also have to teach her how to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I will learn everything. At that time, I will teach a strange woman who is unparalleled in the world. Who dares to gossip?" Du Shaoqing said angrily.

"You are quite ambitious, but it's not that person who mocks me. This is the world. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have always been like this. No matter how hard you work, you will never be able to get rid of the hat of a stinky merchant. That person is farming and farming, and is already two levels higher than you. Unless you can pass the imperial examination again, I would say that your identity will affect the little girl."

Zhang Chuchen's words are just to mention Du Shaoqing. Neither a scholar nor a brainless man is the way to deal with the world. Only by knowing how to adapt to the environment can you survive better.

But Du Shaoqing said disdainfully: "What are the bullshit rules? Scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial enterprises? Can you really kill someone? I don't believe in this evil."

You... Zhang Chuchen was angry about it, "Even if you are stubborn, you must think about your child. Do you want to see her be able to marry an equally humble businessman in the future?"

Du Shaoqing walked out with great strides and said without looking back: "My daughter doesn't care about family backgrounds, just to see if she likes it, so what about merchants? I don't think it's inferior to others. Those who are more obedient than to top are toads, and that's not human."

Hearing such a tough reply, Zhang Chuchen was so angry that he stamped his feet. If the daughter of the Tang Dynasty's princess's daughter marrys a merchant again in the future, I am afraid the emperor will definitely not be able to tolerate her. It is possible that she will kill someone. Why is this kid so unintentional?

Du Shaoqing ignored those rules and regulations. This was the first time he had resisted the unfairness of this society so much since he traveled through time. Although there were hierarchies in later generations, it was not so obvious. At least everyone would wear a layer of disguise. However, in this feudal society, the saying that scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were labeled as a lifetime when people were born, which was really a disaster.

After sorting out his mood, Du Shaoqing came all the way to the only private school in the town. This is an old man named Xu. He opened a private school to educate his children to read and study when he had nothing to do. In this era, he opened a private school to teach and educate people. That was a merit.

Because it was not the Song Dynasty at this time, technology was not good, papermaking and printing were all major problems, so books and even paper were extremely expensive. Ordinary people had no collection of books, and teachers were even scarce. Anyone who could study and read, the court would select 80% to be an official and appoint a job. After that, 20% were still on the way to continue to work hard to test fame. Therefore, in this case, it was not easy to have a teacher in a small town.

"What did you say? Let your daughter come here to study? No, absolutely not."

Master Xu was about sixty years old and was an old man with gray hair and elegant hair. When Du Shaoqing explained his purpose, Master Xu refused decisively and did not even hesitate.

"Why is this? Master, you are picking students when you teach and educate people? And although my daughter is young, she is smart and quick to learn anything. If you can accept her, you will definitely be able to gain an excellent female disciple."

"You need to say nothing, I know, you just beat Wang Youtian in the town in public and came here to study for his daughter in anger, but where do you think this is? This is not your inn, this is a private school, a place where saints teach the learning. Do you know whether men and women can teach or not? I am all male schoolchildren here, so what's the point of taking a girl?

Moreover, you are also a person who reads the books of sages. You fight in public and threaten your neighbors with wild words. I don’t agree with such character.” Master Xu scolded.

Du Shaoqing thought to himself, what does it have to do with you when I fight? You are not the father-in-law of the king and landlord, do you want to stand up for him?

After pressing his anger, Du Shaoqing argued: "The sage said that there is no difference in teaching. Master’s teaching is divided into men and women. Du did not agree with it. Moreover, my daughter was only four years old. You are all under ten years old. What does it have to do with being a man or a woman? I have a lot of tuition fees for you."

Master Xu said unhappily: "I said, don't accept girls, don't bother with them anymore, it has nothing to do with money."

But Du Shaoqing didn't believe it. In fact, he wanted his daughter to learn literacy here and then start learning ancient Chinese. He could educate himself in the future quality, but now he is busy making money and has no time to discipline him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask this old man.

He reached into his arms, took out a large ingot of silver, and slapped it in front of Master Xu, "Ten taels of silver are only for one school year, and they are paid every year."

Unexpectedly, this action made Master Xu, who was originally calm and very well-educated, furious and slapped the table and cursed at Du Shaoqing: "Zhuzi, who do you think you are? Are you a person who forgets your righteousness by seeking profit?

Get out, you are not welcome here. If you have two bad money, you think you are amazing. Get out of here with your bad money. Don’t defile this pure land of sages.”

Looking at the old man's angry look, Du Shaoqing felt that he had done something wrong. The ancients valued integrity. Although this old master was pedantic, he was a true successor of Confucius and Mencius. Facing the old man's righteousness, Du Shaoqing felt extremely ashamed and took back the ten taels of silver in shame.

But Du Shaoqing was unwilling to be scolded to go out. When he was about to reach the door, Du Shaoqing turned around and said, "Teacher, since you are obsessed with the differences between men and women and not accept my daughter, then do you dare to bet with me? In ten days, I can teach my daughter to recite the "Thousand Characters" and if I do it, you have to change the rules. This private school will be able to teach you in the future, and both men and women can enter the school."
