Eunuch Wang kept his word, and he indeed wrote a memorial to ask the emperor to "pardon" Fang Yingwu. After hearing the news, Fang Yingwu knew that the countdown to his stay in Yulin had officially begun. When the imperial edict was issued, he should pack up and return to his hometown.
Already.
There is nothing else. The most regrettable thing is that the border market has not started yet, otherwise I will definitely have a lot of cash. Now I have to leave early. Zhejiang is several miles away from Yulin. Even if the Wang family wants to share a part of their profits,
It's not convenient to send someone all the way to deliver this little money, and there are no portable and easy-to-use banknotes these days.
In addition, the social studies run by Fang Yingwu are coming to an end. His only private tutor is about to leave, so social studies will of course be suspended until the next qualified tutor appears.
The great scholar Tian Fang was sitting in the main seat of the lecture hall. Below him were forty or fifty students who were mostly older than Fang Yingwu, or at least about the same age as Fang Yingwu. These were the first batch of local scholars in the entire Yansui Town.
Fang Yingwu cleared his throat, which was slightly cold, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Today is my last lecture."
Most of the students who could come to study were not too poor in wealth and were naturally well-informed. They had long heard the news that Mr. Fang might leave, but when they heard Mr. Fang say it himself, they were still a little surprised, and they immediately started talking among themselves.
After Fang Yingwu said the first sentence, he suddenly didn't know how to continue. He had always been quite eloquent and got stuck for the first time.
Forget it, let’s finish the class first, Fang Yingwu thought. After that, the class started step by step. The first thing was to randomly check the recitation of Zhu Xi’s Annotations. I randomly clicked on a few chapters and randomly clicked on a few people.
Mr. Luo Qian's son, Luo Cheng, was unfortunate enough to have his name called on him, but what was even more unfortunate was that he had been watching the spring flowers blooming these past few days. He was hanging out with friends every day, riding horses and having fun, so he didn't pay attention to his homework at all.
At this time, Luo Cheng murmured for a long time, recited a few sentences intermittently and then couldn't continue. He could only stand in his seat with a red face and scratching his head.
Fang Yingwu suddenly felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar. For a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had learned "The Last Lesson" in middle school in his previous life. Although the backgrounds were very different, the scenes were somewhat similar.
.
Fang Daxiucai, who had studied hard since childhood, vaguely remembered the article, and suddenly felt that he had something to say. He clasped his hands behind his back and walked up to Luo Cheng step by step. He was old-fashioned and began to preach incessantly.
"I won't punish you. You must be feeling very uncomfortable. It's not just you. Many of you may think that there are so many tomorrows, but you don't know that I am waiting for tomorrow, and everything will be wasted!"
It is your greatest misfortune to always put off your homework until tomorrow. Now people from other places have a reason to say to you, what? You still say that you are scholars? You can't even recite the meanings of the saints. Even if you can be a scholar, you are still in the mountains.
If I don’t have a tiger, why am I qualified to take the provincial examination in the province?
However, this is not your fault alone. As a teacher, I also have a responsibility. I also have my own place to punish. I am often absent-minded, and I often suspend classes and take vacations. This is all misleading to you. I still can’t let it go.
You read the meaning of the scriptures thoroughly, these are the four words of being a teacher. I deserve it."
When Fang Yingwu said this, he turned slightly and faced more students. "The sage's secret knowledge must be learned. It must not only be read in the mouth, but also remembered in the heart. I don't know how many of you will continue to study in the future.
It is true that reading is not easy, but I hope you will not forget what you have learned in the book.
Although I am no longer here, most of you already have the qualifications to become health students in the future. As long as you still have the desire to learn, it is like holding the key to the future, and you will eventually benefit one day. Even if you cannot make progress,
But under the guidance of words and deeds, there will always be a time when our children and grandchildren will excel.”
Luo Cheng was extremely annoyed, his head was huge, his eyes were shining with tears, and he shouted sincerely: "Teacher, the student has realized his mistake!" Fang Yingwu nodded and returned to the chair, "The last lesson today is
"
At this time, the room suddenly became quiet, and there was no longer the hum of whispering and discussion. The students finished the last lesson in silence with sad thoughts.
The days passed day by day. In the spring, as usual, there was a military parade and a review of the three armies. So a general ordering platform was set up on the grassland on the other side of the Yuxi River in the east of Yulin City, and two imperial envoys with different names, Governor Yang and Eunuch Wang, came on the stage.
These two people, one is the admiral in charge of military affairs, and everyone below the general is subject to restraint, and the other is a veritable eunuch who supervises the army. They are both people with the power to review the three armies. As the governor's staff, Fang Yingwu also followed Governor Yang on the stage.
, standing behind Governor Yang. However, Fang Daxiucai was taciturn and extremely low-key. It was obvious that his mind was no longer here.
A morning passed, and during the lunch break, Governor Yang and Eunuch Wang walked down the general stage. They walked side by side in no particular order, but each had their own entourage. They crowded on the narrow steps and it was a bit confusing for a while.
When Fang Yingwu was looking around boredly, he suddenly heard someone shouting. He followed the sound and saw two young people flashing out from the side.
Not only Fang Yingwu, but everyone present heard the sound and noticed these two people. Others did not recognize who they were, but Fang Yingwu recognized them. He was very confused. Both of them were students in social studies.
I just don’t know why it appears here?
But I saw two people rushing over with big strides. One of them shouted: "Do justice for heaven!", and the other immediately shouted: "Kill the national traitors!"
Others were stunned and didn't know why, but Fang Yingwu suddenly felt something. Could it be that in the last class the day before yesterday, he went too far and made these two students want to assassinate?
He knew that these two students were definitely not coming for him as their teacher, nor did they have any reason to come for Governor Yang, who was becoming more and more famous. The only one who could be remotely associated with a "national thief" was Wang Zhi!
Fang Yingwu didn't have time to think of a way out, so he quickly bypassed Governor Yang and strode up to Wang Zhi, just blocking the two of them. The incident happened so suddenly that others didn't understand what was going on, let alone react.
At this moment, the two students had already flashed their daggers, which were more than a foot long, and used the power of their bodies to move forward and swung them fiercely at Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi usually didn't like the guards getting too close to her, so she gave them a hard time during the chaotic moment when they were going down the steps.
A sudden attack can be an opportunity.
However, the two people suddenly discovered that Mr. Fang had blocked them in front of them in advance, and they were shocked and quickly put away their knives. The dagger was put back, but the two people couldn't stop their rushing bodies and bumped into Fang.
Yingwu. Fang Yingwu was already unsteady on his feet, and now he couldn't stand even more. His whole body was knocked backwards, and he bumped into Wang Zhi again.
Wang Zhi's physique was much worse than Fang Yingwu's, and she couldn't bear the impact. She fell to the ground, and then felt another body pressing on her like a dead pig.
It's still a man's body! Wang Zhi stared, clenched her teeth subconsciously, and her mind went blank for a moment. She didn't even understand why he would come forward to save him? (To be continued...)
ps: I'm starving... I'll go look for food first and continue writing in the afternoon.
