He Qingxuan didn't take it seriously when faced with Mr. Ye's question, but with a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, "Isn't that what you want to tell me?"
The two stood opposite each other. Ye Chongwen held Chen Ping's sleeves and huddled behind him, not daring to move.
"Incomprehensible! Incomprehensible!"
Mr. Ye's face turned red with anger. He paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly stopped in front of He Qingxuan, "Don't think you can speculate on my thoughts after reading the book for a few days? Do you think I think this way, or do you
That’s what I think!”
"You want me to think this way!" He Qingxuan shouted directly.
He Qingxuan has always known that he is the son of a businessman, and has always known how others view his identity.
Because he is a businessman, no matter how hard he works, there are always people who gossip and poke his spine. His family must be wealthy, otherwise how can he be loved by his teachers? How can he come out on top?
Now Mr. Ye's question is poking his heart. You are just the son of a businessman.
Faced with He Qingxuan's questioning, Mr. Ye was so angry that his heart ached. He touched his chest with his hand, and his eyes went dark.
After finally regaining his composure, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at He Qingxuan and said, "Listen."
Then, he pointed at Chen Ping and said, "Come here and tell me."
“Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are all developed in four dimensions. Without scholars, there will be no order, without farming, there will be no stability, without industry, there will be no strength, and without business, there will be no prosperity. It is precisely where there is business that the things cultivated and produced by the people can be circulated, and the country can prosper.
But...but everything must be done in a mode, and this is also true for businessmen. Excessive protection of nature will lead to danger, while a little control of nature can benefit the country and the people."
Chen Ping didn't want to say more about this, but He Qingxuan's attitude did affect him a lot. Perhaps because of the previous competition between the two, Chen Ping still expressed his thoughts.
Mr. Ye nodded happily, "That's a good answer, but it's not comprehensive enough."
When he looked at He Qingxuan, he could only sigh.
"Go back and think about it again."
He Qingxuan stood there silently and thought for a long time, then bowed and turned to leave.
Since the end of this competition, Chen Ping has not seen He Qingxuan in the academy for several days.
I thought I would just disappear, but I never thought that two days later, He Qingxuan would actually walk into the place where he and Ye Chongwen lived with his luggage.
Not only did he arrive, but a new bed was also moved into the yard.
"What's going on?" Ye Chongwen came back from outside with a Newspeak book and bumped into the furniture mover, "Is this a newcomer?"
Chen Ping took the opportunity to point to him where He Qingxuan was standing, "He is still an acquaintance."
Although He Qingxuan also moved to this courtyard, due to the age difference and the differences in the content of his studies, He Qingxuan did not attend classes with them.
Children will not be separated because of a competition, and just because they live under the same roof, they will inevitably chat together after class.
He Qingxuan even took the opportunity to bring delicacies from a restaurant outside and invited Chen Ping and Ye Chongwen to enjoy them together.
After going back and forth, the three of them quickly became familiar with each other.
Only then did Chen Ping learn that although He Qingxuan had belittled the businessman that day, he had admired his father since childhood.
It was because of his father that he was able to know the existence of Mr. Ye. It was also because of listening to Mr. Ye's lectures at Jiangxia Academy that he wanted to become Mr. Ye's student.
Speaking of this, He Qingxuan couldn't help but lament that he still failed to achieve his wish in the end, but jokingly said that being able to become friends with Mr. Ye's disciples was considered his luck.
Chen Ping waved his hands repeatedly, but was blocked by a cup of tea.
He Qingxuan was full of fighting spirit. He held tea and invited Chen Ping with tea instead of wine.
"Next time, I will definitely win the next competition."
"I can't accept this." Chen Ping raised his tea cup and saluted He Qingxuan, "It should be me next time."
As soon as these words came out, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Ye Chongwen, who was concentrating on eating vegetables, was attracted by the laughter, raised his head suddenly, and raised his tea cup unwilling to be outdone.
"How about adding me? But can you not take the arithmetic test?" He didn't want to be left behind, but when he talked about arithmetic, his face became more and more tangled.
He Qingxuan was about to agree, but Chen Ping pretended to be embarrassed.
"If you don't want to take the arithmetic test? What's the test? How to test poetry correctly or how to get the latest script book?"
He Qingxuan laughed out loud when he heard this. Ye Chongwen, who had been demolished, was so aggrieved that he quickly defended himself, "I... I'm pretty good at policy theory."
It seemed that he was a little bit amused. Chen Ping quickly corrected, "Yes, yes, I am really good at policy theory. I still have to learn from you!"
Such comments aroused He Qingxuan's curiosity, "Then I really want to see it."
After receiving the compliment, Ye Chongwen proudly puffed up his chest, then rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "No, it's not that great."
Everyone laughed together, and the food on the table was all gone. It was getting late, and the three of them finished cleaning up and went back to their rooms.
There was a county examination at the end of next autumn. After Chen Ping learned about it from He Qingxuan, he spent more and more time studying books.
Time is tight and the tasks are heavy. Chen Ping's mind is so full that he still has to pick up poems and poems.
Ye Chongwen, who had always been idle, looked a little scared and did not dare to talk to Chen Ping for several days.
Sometimes I was afraid that it would affect his study, so I would open the window and look into the room, waiting for him to take a break before asking him to go to dinner together.
Today, he was still standing outside the window with his butt stuck out, and he would alternately stand on his feet from time to time. Such a funny look was noticed by He Qingxuan, who had just finished class.
As soon as he shouted, Ye Chongwen interrupted with a look of horror.
Ye Chongwen whispered in a breathy voice: "Keep your voice down, Chen Ping is still reading inside."
"Then you're just going to stand outside like this?" He Qingxuan was led by him, and his voice was lowered a lot, "Would you like to go to my place and wait first?"
Ye Chongwen was a little excited, but the jingling sound in the room attracted his attention, and he quickly went in, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Chen Ping fell to the ground, holding the book with one hand and holding the lamp stand with the other. He kept saying: "It's okay, it's okay."
He Qingxuan, who came in late, was also startled by his appearance. Together with Ye Chongwen, he quickly helped Chen Ping hold up the lamp stand and then lifted him up from the ground.
"You are too fascinated by what you are looking at. I have to see what you are looking at."
He Qingxuan glanced at the contents of the book in Chen Ping's hand based on the way he was holding it, and then took a breath, "Is this just "The University"?"
Chen Ping stood up, rubbed his calf that had just been hit by the light stand, and jumped on the spot again, "Of course it's "University", it has many uses."
This is indeed a good thing to say, but Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan looked at each other and decided to ignore Chen Ping's words. After all, they were tortured by "The University".
Just because it is useful, I don’t like it. Especially when I heard that the college professor used it to write questions, I wished that this book didn’t exist in the world.
