Chapter 117: The old patriarch kneels
As a teacher at Luyang Academy, during this period of time, countless people have passed through his path and have used various means to send their sons and nephews to Luyang Academy through him.
After all, he has a high status in Luyang Academy because he has the status of being a professor.
As long as he opens his mouth, it is not difficult to send his nephew to Luyang Academy.
But having said that, if it were placed on someone else, this matter would be easier to handle.
As long as you have enough money and enough favors.
Then it was just a matter of convenience for the teacher to agree to this matter.
But for some people, this incident has touched their principles.
It is also their bottom line.
Teach and educate people to cultivate talents for the country.
This is the common ideal of these people and also their persistence.
After all, many academies have filled in some unruly second-generation ancestors, which ultimately led to the corruption of the "ethics" of the academy.
In the end, no "pillars" were cultivated, but a lot of scumbags were produced.
For some idealists, this is absolutely unacceptable.
It happened that Li Baichong, who had no hope of an official career, was exactly this kind of person.
Otherwise, given his talents, he would not be able to become a high official.
Being a county magistrate and an edict are more than enough.
However, although Li Baichong knows some things, it does not mean that he will join in the same trap with some people.
It was precisely because he failed to maintain a good relationship that in the end he had no choice but to go home and teach.
Even though he was teaching, Li Baichong still did not give up his persistence.
"Tinghui is the seed of a scholar and the hope of Huangjia Village!"
"He is also capable and capable!"
"A few days ago, when the county magistrate was having fun with the people in Jinhu, he once asked a question that none of the scholars could solve!"
"Only Brother Hui was freed in a moment!"
"With such a talent, if he continues to waste time in Huangjia Village, it will really bury him!"
"If this were not the case, I would not have brought him to see you!"
The old patriarch looked at his cousin with hope, hoping to get an accurate answer from his cousin.
"Huang Tinghui?"
"Yes, that's the name!"
"Huang Tinghui, I remembered that you solved a math problem and received a lantern as a reward from the county master."
"It's true that a hero comes from a young age. I didn't expect you to be so young!"
"It's great that Huangjiacun can produce a rising star like you!"
Li Baichong stroked his beard and said to Huang Tinghui with a smile.
"Cousin, do you see this?"
"Brother Hui has the seed of reading, no matter what, we can't bury it!"
The old patriarch said somewhat eagerly.
"Mingzhang, you are making things difficult for me!"
"In Luyang Academy, I will never open a back door to allow a student to enroll directly!"
"If word spreads, how will I, Li Baichong, be viewed by the world?"
Li Baichong sighed, picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, and said slowly to the old patriarch.
But as soon as he said these words, the old patriarch would have misunderstood his meaning.
He quickly took out a package and placed it on the table.
The package was filled with heavy copper coins. The old patriarch opened the package and found that there were even oil stains on the copper coins strung together inside.
These copper coins appeared neatly on the table.
Although the money was not much, it brought Huang Tinghui a shock from the inside out and from the soul.
Huang Tinghui never thought that the old patriarch would do this for himself.
Others don't know, how can Huang Tinghui not know.
Everyone said that the old patriarch had saved a sum of money, but how much was it?
Everyone doesn't know.
Uncle Erzhu is a good thing. I asked about it once.
But he was knocked on the head by the old patriarch, who told him that it was a package of copper coins strung together.
It's his coffin book!
When he dies, he will be placed in a good coffin.
It's also comfortable to lie in.
When these words were said, everyone laughed.
Huang Tinghui heard it at the scene and smiled along with him.
Some people say that the old patriarch is reluctant to eat or wear clothes.
But I have to wait until I die and get myself a good coffin.
However, at this time, these strings of copper coins coded on the table gave Huang Tinghui an unparalleled visual impact.
It gave Huang Tinghui an unparalleled spiritual impact.
These are the coffin books of the old patriarch!
It belongs to the old patriarch!
Tears blurred Huang Tinghui's eyes as he looked at the white-haired old patriarch.
Seeing the old patriarch trying his best to get a place in the school for himself, tears almost fell down his face because he was disappointed.
"Mingzhang, you are making things difficult for me!"
"If it can be done, how can I accept your money?"
"It's just this matter..."
Although Li Baichong had feelings for the old patriarch, this incident touched Li Baichong's principles.
This made Li Baichong feel very embarrassed.
"Isn't it enough?"
"There are also these, some souvenirs that you liked when you were a child!"
"I really don't have anything else to offer, that's all!"
"Cousin, for my sake, let this kid go to school!"
"As long as he can go to school and attend your Luyang Academy, he will definitely be fine!"
"Brother Hui, if nothing else, he has a very smart mind!"
"Definitely the future pillar of the country!" The old patriarch was a little excited. He took Li Baichong's hand and said.
Even the voice was trembling.
"Famous seal!!" Li Baichong said helplessly.
His heart was as strong as a rock, even though the old patriarch begged him.
There are some issues of principle that he still doesn't want to break through.
"Mingzhang, you have to know my difficulties!"
"Before you, many people have asked for my name!"
"But I refused. I can't ruin the ethics of Luyang Academy just because of personal friendship!"
"You can't let other people see it. It turns out that all you need to enter this Luyang Academy is enough favors!"
"Mingzhang, please stop talking!" Li Baichong refused bluntly.
But what Li Baichong didn't expect was that the next scene not only shocked him.
It also made Huang Tinghui's heart skip a beat.
"Plop!" The elderly patriarch knelt down in front of Li Baichong.
He took Li Baichong's hand and said, "Cousin, I have never asked you for anything in my life, and I have never asked you to help me with anything!"
"I only wish you would do it for my sake and for our years of friendship."
"Let this kid have the opportunity to go to Luyang College!"
"cousin!"
"Mingzhang please!"
No one expected that the old patriarch would kneel down in front of Li Baichong like this.
In order to give Huang Tinghui the opportunity to attend Luyang Academy.
The old patriarch gave everything he had.
Including your own dignity.
