"Sir, what does 'the superior knowledge and the inferior foolishness remain unchanged' mean?"
"Only the smartest and the stupidest people will not change easily."
"Why?"
"Because a smart person knows he is right, he will not change easily, while a stupid person does not know he is wrong, so he refuses to change."
"oh……"
In the west room of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, which was the room where Su Ping lived before, two different voices came from inside.
Su Ping stood at the door, his expression changing.
Starting from Xiaohe Village, he didn't waste a moment and arrived in Yangjing in just three days.
As expected, no one stopped him at the city gate, and no one stopped him at the mansion gate.
But when he passed the gate of the mansion, the concierge looked at him with a hint of mockery.
Su Ping arrived at the door of his former room without any obstruction and heard such a conversation.
Both of these voices were familiar to him.
The answering voice came from Shen Yushu, and the person asking... was Ge Ping'an.
Shen Yushu...is teaching Ge Pingan?
Squeak——
The door to the next door was opened, and Shen Xianer walked out of it holding a blank porcelain bowl, apparently planning to wash the dishes.
The figure standing at the door made Shen Xianer suddenly stamp her feet and raise her head.
"Su Ping?!"
Huge surprise burst out from his eyes, but before the surprise spread to his face, it turned into a deep resentment: "Damn it, you still know how to come back?!"
Su Ping: "..."
What is this statement???
Those who didn't know better thought that they had married into her.
"Su Ping? Brother Su?"
Ge Ping'an's exclamation came from another room.
Then the door was opened at an extremely fast speed, and a small figure rushed to Su Ping.
"Brother Su? It's really you!"
Ge Ping'an's face turned red, and he clenched his fists excitedly, wanting to pounce on him but a little shy.
"Peace, long time no see."
Su Ping smiled and touched Ge Ping'an's head.
"My husband lied to me. He said you went out to study and it would take a long time to come back."
Ge Ping'an smiled and grabbed Su Ping's hand.
"Ping An, I just learned it yesterday, why did I forget it today?"
Shen Yushu's voice appeared at the door along with his footsteps.
Wearing a plain white gown, without a crown, her hair was tied into a bun with the same plain white silk ribbon.
"I haven't forgotten it! Zigong was from Fangfang. Confucius said: It's very virtuous to give him gifts, but I don't have time for them."
Ge Ping'an stuck out his tongue, "But the sage also said that if a person has no faith, he doesn't know what he can do."
Shen Yushu didn't expect Ge Ping'an to retort like this, and was stunned for a moment.
However, with Ge Ping'an's weight, it was hard to catch him.
After just a moment, Shen Yushu answered with a half-smile, "The Master said: "The Master said: If you don't resist deceit, if you don't believe it, you will be wise."
After saying that, Shen Yushu cupped his fists and greeted Su Ping.
After Su Ping returned the gift, he smiled at Xiao Ping'an and said, "Brother Su did go out to study, but he just came back early."
"Oh, that's it."
Ge Ping'an's expression became serious. He walked to Shen Yushu and bowed his hands in a mocking manner: "Ping'an made an irresponsible judgment. Please punish me sir."
Shen Yushu also straightened up his expression and flicked his finger in front of Ge Ping'an's forehead: "Go in and study. I'll have a few words with you, Brother Su."
"oh……"
Ge Ping'an held his head and responded, but did not move his feet. He just looked at Su Ping.
"Go ahead, sir, you must listen to what you say."
Su Ping smiled and nodded, then nodded to Shen Xian'er and walked out first.
From beginning to end, Su Ping didn't say a word to Shen Xian'er, which already made her cheeks bulge with anger.
But Su Ping just nodded, and Shen Xianer immediately lost her temper and quietly watched Su Ping and Shen Yushu walk away.
"Sister, do you like Brother Su?"
Ge Pingan suddenly asked.
"Um...that's not right!"
Shen Xian'er nodded matter-of-factly, and then immediately woke up, her pretty face turned red: "How can you, a kid like you, talk nonsense?! Bah, bah, children's words are not limited, children's words are not limited..."
Ge Ping'an stared blankly at Shen Xian'er slamming the door and entering the house, with a question mark on his forehead.
Brother Su is such a good person, isn't it normal to like him?
I also like Brother Su...
………
"Ge Changming refused to live in the Duke's Mansion, so I arranged for him to stay at the Yunqi Inn on Zhuangyuan Street."
After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Shen Yushu was the first to speak, "Every day at You hour, he will come to pick up Ping An."
He didn't ask where Su Ping had gone. He only knew that Su Ping was not planning to come to Yangjing again.
Su Ping said nothing.
After a pause, Shen Yushu continued: "Ping'an is extremely talented. I accepted him as a student just out of love for his talents. There is no other intention."
Su Ping still didn't speak.
Shen Yushu sighed, "Brother Su, I... can only do so much."
"That's not what I want to know."
Su Ping suddenly stamped his feet and turned around to look at Shen Yushu.
His eyes were obviously calm, but Shen Yushu saw a sharpness in them that he had never seen before.
"You mean why you must come back..."
Shen Yushu frowned slightly, "To be honest, I'm also very confused."
At first, he really thought that Mr. Zhou was reluctant to let his daughter marry outside, so he wanted to recruit Su Ping.
But a series of subsequent developments made him feel that Zhou was afraid of losing his current status, so he wanted to use Su Ping's status as his benefactor to increase his weight in the old man's heart.
But the problem is, now that the old man has passed away, instead of holding on to Su Ping, what Zhou should do is to replace Shen Xinlan with a powerful husband's family, so as to ensure her interests.
As for the fact that the marriage certificate has been filed, it is not a problem at all to the Duke's government.
Therefore, these events were connected together, making it impossible for Shen Yushu to make a reasonable judgment.
The only thing he could do was to protect Ge Ping'an and his son from harm.
"My aunt is acting very urgently."
Shen Yushu was no longer vague, but directly named the envoy, "If Ping An had not developed his own talent, I may not be able to guarantee their safety."
"Um?"
Su Ping's eyes flashed.
Shen Yushu's words revealed two important pieces of information.
First, Mr. Zhou is very urgent.
What's the urgency?
It can only be that he is anxious to find himself.
What on earth does she want to do?
Second, Ge Ping'an has his own talents...
He... seems to be less than nine years old, right?
No wonder Shen Yushu accepted him as his disciple.
Presumably, in addition to protecting others, it is more out of love for talents.
If the news about the nine-year-old Confucianism and Taoism were released, even the half-sage Wen Daoyuan would be moved.
"You are good at picking up bargains."
Su Ping shook his head and continued walking forward.
"Brother Su."
Shen Yushu stepped forward to catch up, speaking in an extremely soft voice: "Madam is so urgent, so be careful."
"careful?"
Su Ping was noncommittal and asked, "Has anything happened in Yangjing these days?"
He was very curious whether the fact that he made so much noise with his front legs and quietly left Yangjing with his back legs would attract some people's attention.
"On the day when the provincial examination results were released, countless people came to your house and wanted to make friends with you, but..."
"Just what?"
Su Ping raised his eyebrows.
"His Majesty issued an oral order and reprimanded those people."
Shen Yushu paused, turned to look at Su Ping, and said with a strange expression: "Some people speculate that the vision you caused caused a miracle that has not been seen for thousands of years, which made His Majesty a little unhappy, so..."
"..."
Su Ping's heart suddenly sank, and alarm bells sounded.
Previously, he had only guessed that someone would want to befriend him, and even planned to use this as a basis to make the Zhou family use it as a weapon.
But now that it's better, even Emperor Yongtai doesn't like it, and the Zhou family is afraid that he will become even more unscrupulous.
It seems that I really need to be careful.
After a moment of silence, Su Ping suddenly said: "If anything happens to me, you should remember that Ping An is your student and Ge Weng is your student's father."
"……nature."
Shen Yushu didn't know what to say, so he could only nodded slowly as a promise.
Then he remembered another thing and asked, "Isn't it you, Su?"
"Oh, why, you also like to read story books?"
Su Ping was a little strange.
"It's really you."
Shen Yushu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I didn't like storybooks originally, but during this period, "The Young Master Enters the Marriage" caused a big sensation in Yangjing, so I bought a set back out of curiosity..."
"How should I put it...although you have indeed suffered a lot of grievances, but...but the aunt probably...didn't ask you to wash her feet, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping's face instantly turned green.
"You don't know, Xian'er burst into tears after seeing it."
Shen Yushu was a little helpless, "If I hadn't stopped her, she would have made up a straw man and used her as a aunt to curse her."
"Whether you believe it or not...this storybook has nothing to do with my experience in the Duke's Mansion."
Su Ping took out a breath and said with difficulty.
That is completely based on the previous life novel!
What about kneeling down, sleeping on the floor, washing feet, getting slapped, eating swill...
All these plots are there.
The point is, I have never experienced it before!
After all, I only knelt twice, and I knelt facing the air during worship!
"Then Brother Su must conceal Su Zhizhi's identity."
Shen Yushu suddenly wanted to laugh, "If word spreads... not all the others are from the Duke's Mansion."
"...I have to take a step forward."
Su Ping's expression changed, he immediately quickened his pace, left Shen Yushu and walked away.
