Chapter 10 - Pairs
Xiao Zhang looked at Xiao Kui with blazing eyes and thought to himself, who is this guy? He has never provoked him, why is he so angry with every word?
"Nie Zhan, what other excuses do you have?"
Xiao Shaoquan struck down with a stick, which made Xiao Zhang tremble all over.
"Whoever makes excuses, that old man is a person in vain."
Lu Boming was furious when he heard this.
I thought he was a great scholar in the country, but a fool said he had a false reputation.
"You are so rude! How dare you slander me!"
"He's anxious, he's anxious, he's anxious, let me get it right."
Xiao Shaoquan scolded him in a low voice: "Shut up, Master Lu is a great scholar in the country. How dare you slander him with bad words."
Xiao Zhang curled his lips and said with disdain: "What's wrong with the great scholars in the country? There are no great scholars in the country who have a false reputation, so they can just hit people on the head?"
Xiao Shaoquan was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally. I admit it's true when I sleep. As for what he said about me beating him, that's also true. But uncle emperor, aren't you curious why I beat him?"
As he spoke, Xiao Zhang pointed at Lu Boming angrily: "This old man is hitting me on the head with a ruler. Are he really not afraid of being beaten to death?"
Xiao Shaoquan and Queen Liu both looked at Lu Boming.
In the history of Guozi studies in the past dynasties, there has never been a case where a teacher physically punished a student, let alone hit him on the head.
After all, the students in Guozixue are either royal relatives or descendants of noble families, and their status is extraordinary.
Looking at it this way, it was reasonable for Xiao Zhang to fight back.
Lu Boming also realized that he was in the wrong, bit his lip and said: "Okay, this matter is my fault. I was impulsive. But you also fought back later. Let's make it even. Now we will say that you disrupted the class, and I am
How do you count sleeping in class?"
Xiao Zhang groaned and scolded: "Are you stupid due to Alzheimer's disease? I just said that no matter who it is, anyone who is taught by you, a person with no name, will fall asleep."
After saying that, Xiao Zhang looked at Xiao Shaoquan with an aggrieved look: "Uncle Emperor, Guozixue is a place to cultivate talents and is the foundation of the country. How can you let a person with a false reputation mislead your children?"
Lu Boming's beard trembled with anger. He turned around and knelt down at Xiao Shaoquan: "Your Majesty, although I am stupid, I still pride myself on having read the books of saints and sages for several years. Today, this fool Xiao said that I only have a false reputation to mislead my disciples. I can't bear this bad name."
Get up. I would also like to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree for me to resign from the post of Imperial College Scholar."
"Master Lu, why is this? You are a great Confucian with great virtues and a great reputation. Master Lu is the only one who learns about sacrificial wine. How can you be angry because of a fool's words?"
Xiao Shaoquan's words made Lu Boming feel a little more comfortable.
But Xiao Zhang's next words made Lu Boming, who had finally got his way, furious once again.
"Uncle Emperor, are you kidding me? It has to be him? I can do whatever I want."
"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense."
Xiao Zhang looked aggrieved: "What I said is the truth. Anyway, I leave my words here. If this old man continues to teach at Guozi, I will either continue to sleep or go home. Listening to his teaching is really boring.
Very.”
Lu Boming's beard trembled with anger: "One kind of arrogance, another kind of arrogance!"
Xiao Zhang asked Lu Boming: "Wild talk? You've touched on your sore point. How dare you compete with me? If I beat you, you would admit that you had a false reputation and misled your disciples. If I lost, you would let the emperor's uncle beat me to death."
become."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Prince Xiao Kui burst into laughter.
This fool really doesn't know how high the sky is and why he wants to compete with Lu Boming, a recognized scholar.
Not to mention Xiao Kui, even Xiao Shaoquan was amused: "Idiot, are you serious?"
"Ang, am I kidding?"
Xiao Yuxin pulled Xiao Zhang and said in a low voice: "You little fool, don't do this nonsense. How can you be Master Lu's opponent?"
Xiao Zhang snorted and glanced at Lu Boming with disdain: "For some ignorant people, I really don't take him seriously."
Lu Boming laughed angrily, turned around and raised his hands to Xiao Ju: "Your Majesty, since the Crown Prince of Eastern Hunan has so much confidence in him, it would be a bit disrespectful for me if I didn't respond. It would also save someone from using this matter to slander me in the future.
Said that the veteran did not dare to fight."
Xiao Shaoquan hesitated: "Master Lu, why are you arguing with an idiot? It's good to win, but to lose..."
Xiao Shaoquan didn't say the rest. If you lose, your reputation will be ruined.
Lu Boming's attitude was firm: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I want to explain my knowledge."
Now that the conversation was over, it was useless for Xiao Shaoquan to say anything else, so he had no choice but to agree to the competition between the two of them.
"Xiao Zhang, don't say that I'm bullying you. I won't test you on the Four Books and Five Classics. I'll test you on the most popular pairs at the moment. How about that?"
Xiao Zhang curled his lips: "Fang Mom, oh no, let's come over here."
"Several blows blow up the moon over the Xiangjiang River."
Xiao Zhang didn't even think about it: "One pillow brings back Wuxia clouds."
Xiao Shaoquan and Empress Liu muttered at the same time, and then nodded with full aftertaste: "Wonderful, wonderful, there are mountains, water, moon and clouds."
Xiao Kui frowned: "Could it be an accidental collision?"
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lu Boming raised his eyebrows and praised against his will: "Not bad."
Xiao Zhang pouted: "It's better than you."
Lu Boming couldn't help but twitch his brows, and snorted: "Don't be complacent, I just warmed up, the next step is the main topic, listen up. Lotus stem, lotus root, lotus moss."
Xiao Shaoquan stroked his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, what a lotus stem with lotus root and lotus moss. This couplet is integrated into one, and the front and rear complement each other. It is indeed Master Lu."
Lu Boming smiled modestly: "Your Majesty is so complimentary."
"Your Highness, please correct me."
Queen Liu and Xiao Yuxin frowned, this couplet was somewhat difficult.
Immediately, Xiao Yuxin couldn't help but take a step forward: "Master Lu, Brother Zhang is inherently stupid by nature. You are a bit of a pushover."
"Sister, isn't that what you said? When Brother Zhang first started shouting and provoking Master Lu, he never thought that he was being stupid. He brought it upon himself to end up like this. How can he blame Master Lu for making things difficult for others?"
When Xiao Kui found an opportunity, he added insult to injury. He even hugged Xiao Shaoquan and said: "Father, the victory has been decided, and Xiao Zhang has no respect for his elders. If he is not punished severely, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and righteous men, and breed noble children."
There is evil and unhealthy tendencies. My son is bold and begs my father to issue an edict to severely punish Xiao Zhang."
Xiao Shaoquan nodded when he heard this, raised his hand, and was ready to give an order.
"No, I haven't gotten along yet. Why do you think I can't get along?"
Just when Xiao Shaoquan's order was about to be issued, Xiao Zhang complained speechlessly.
Xiao Kui spat: "Xiao Zhang, stop talking nonsense. How could you possibly be right about this pairing?"
"If you are stupid, don't think that other people are stupid, okay?"
"you!"
Lu Boming couldn't stand it anymore: "Prince Xiao, don't change the subject! If you can't stand up to me within a stick of incense, don't blame me for asking your Majesty to teach you a lesson."
