Chapter 58 Do you have to be so smart?

"That's right, my old friend didn't agree." Ye Rongzhen responded with a smile.

All the students sighed, "You can't let honest people be bullied all the time."

But Ye Rongzhen made a 180-degree turn for everyone.

"He burned those IOUs on the spot."

"What?"

There was an uproar in the classroom.

Three thousand taels!

That's three thousand taels.

Isn't this kind man a fool?

Xibao's eyes also widened. She wouldn't be able to do it, let alone for a sanctimonious person.

But then she thought about it, and it was reasonable for the story to develop to this point.

Otherwise, how could Ye Rongzhen continue talking?

Xibao couldn't help but look at Ye Rongzhen again, and saw him slowly lifting the teapot, taking a sip at the spout, and then continued with a smile: "Don't you all think that my old friend is a fool? If you don't want a lot of money, just take it."

Burn paper money?

But it's not.

When he first met Mr. Xie, he knew the details of his family.

He supported Mr. Xie because he cherished his talent and hoped that he would develop well. He never thought that he could get the money back.

The reason why he accepted those IOUs was so as not to embarrass Mr. Xie.

However, Mr. Xie is a man of conscience after all. He knew that he was unable to repay the other person's kindness and continuing to contact him would only become a burden to him, so he cut off contact with him.

But he never forgot this kindness for a moment, and always taught his children to remember to repay it, and he could not rest in peace for it until his death, which shows that he is not the kind of heartless person you think.

My old friend knew this, so he rushed to pay his respects in person and burned the IOU in front of his soul, just so that Mr. Xie could rest in peace.

Afterwards, he even gave another several hundred taels of silver to help the Xie family with their funeral arrangements.

It is also because of this that Mr. Xie made a vow that he would not take any money from the scripts he wrote for people in the Liyuan in the future.

Think about it, everyone, isn’t it precisely because of the sympathy between my old friend and Mr.

The students nodded.

Who doesn't know that the script is the key to a play?

If the script is good, the whole play is more than half successful; if the script is bad, no matter how good the acting skills are, it can't save it.

Mr. Xie is one of the greatest writers in the world. His articles are worth thousands of gold. Three thousand taels can be exchanged for him to write scripts for free for the rest of his life. How can it not be worth it?

Seeing everyone nodding, Ye Rongzhen also nodded a few times with satisfaction and continued: "However, such good deeds are only a fraction of the good deeds performed by my old friend. There are many people he has helped."

Ye Rongzhen said, turning his head to look at Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen sitting on the left, and then at Song Youzhen sitting on the right, and continued: "Back then, the master theater troupes of Su, Da Song, and Xiao Song couldn't open

They were about to be disbanded. It was my old friend who sent money after learning about it and also helped them find a theater through connections, which helped them get through the most difficult time.

It was because of Xiao Song's performance in that play that he had the opportunity to be spotted by the Office of Shengping and be enshrined in the inner court."

Xibao's eyes widened as she listened below. She didn't expect that Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen were from the same sect as her master?

Looking at Su Yunqing and Song Qiwen, when this past incident was mentioned, both of them had a bit of disdain on their faces. Only Song Youzhen turned her head and glanced at the two of them, but she quickly looked away.

Ye Rongzhen did not stop the topic here, but quickly named someone else's name.

"There is also Tan Xiaofu's fourth grandfather. If you don't believe it, you can go home and ask him, who gave him new ideas when he was unable to make a sound because of his collapse, so that he could achieve what he does today?"

Tan Xiaofu seemed to have heard about this for the first time, with a look of surprise on his face, pointing at his nose and smiling crookedly: "Why is there still something about my family? Don't show off, what will happen to such a powerful person?

Who is it? Tell us quickly so we can see!"

I didn't want to think about Ye Rongzhen, but I still wanted to pass it off. I never mentioned the name of the person, but asked everyone: "Let's talk about it, should my old friend be respected? We can have such a good environment to learn opera now,

Shouldn't we thank this old friend for being such a good class teacher?"

No one spoke.

Ye Rongzhen called his name again.

"Tan Xiaofu, please tell me."

Everyone looked towards Tan Xiaofu.

I have to say that his name appears too frequently in Ye Rongzhen's mouth today.

He is indeed a relative of Boss Tan, even the president will support him.

Even Tan Xiaofu himself was a little flattered. He stood up in disbelief and said hesitantly: "Yes - it should be."

"Why should you? Please tell me carefully."

"this--"

Tan Xiaofu was a little hesitant. In fact, he had never heard of such a powerful figure in his family, let alone his fourth grandfather mentioning what happened before the liquidation.

Ye Rongzhen asked him to answer why he should be grateful to an unrelated person. He really couldn't answer it, so he had to make up a story based on Ye Rongzhen's story just now: "As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. An artist's repayment of his position is

Many artists will fail to recover due to major events. That person was able to help my fourth grandfather at a critical moment, and of course I have to be grateful to him."

Ye Rongzhen nodded: "Oh, are you grateful to him because of your family affairs?"

Tan Xiaofu: "???"

What does this tone mean? Is his answer correct or incorrect?

"Sit down first."

Ye Rongzhen smiled and waved at him, then glanced at the others.

Every face was dull and blank, staring at him with expectation and confusion, which made him feel a little tired and worried that his class today would be in vain.

Until he met a pair of bright eyes, his heart became brighter.

"Xibao, can you tell me?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Xibao again.

Compared to the person in Ye Rongzhen's story, everyone is actually more curious about Xibao, the little girl who wandered into the opera garden alone.

I heard that she threatened to win the first place in the preliminary examination yesterday.

Xibao didn't expect to be called out, but she has never been afraid of being called out, so when she stood up, she was very calm and generous, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Students believe that as children of Liyuan, we should first be grateful to this person for three things."

Three pieces?

Everyone looked at each other and subconsciously pricked up their ears, wondering how this little girl would answer.

Even Mei Zilan, who had been sitting in the corner, couldn't help but look towards Xibao.

Tan Xiaofu was particularly concerned. He suddenly leaned forward and looked at Xibao's profile, carefully examining her expression.

Yesterday when he was learning the rules, he was beaten by Xibao. Is the old drama going to happen again today?

But why did she stand up and say this after he was dumbfounded by Ye Rongzhen's question?

Does she have to be so smart?

What's wrong with a little girl being submissive to a man and standing comfortably behind him to take shelter from the wind and rain?

Ye Rongzhen didn't expect Xibao to answer like this, so he couldn't help but grinned and said, "Oh? Can you tell me more specifically?"
