Chapter Fifty-Fourth: Yuan Shu's Visit to Make Enmity Again
After a conversation with Li Feng, a date was set for the exchange between the two private schools.
It was the other party who came before, so this time in the spirit of reciprocity, Xie Xin took his students and went to Wancheng Xiaoyi Academy three days later to communicate with the other party's students.
But before that, Xie Xin shamelessly kept Li Feng and let him communicate with the students of the private school for a day.
Li Feng could not refuse his kindness, so he had no choice but to stay.
After some exchanges, the knowledge Li Feng learned from his father Li Yi was quickly absorbed by the students of the Huaxia Private School. They then compared it with what they had learned before and chose the answer they thought was the most correct.
In fact, students in ancient times had the habit of studying abroad. The purpose was naturally not to travel around, but to collect the best of hundreds of schools of thought in order to improve their world view and outlook on life.
If you simply accept the teachings of a college, what you can get in the end will always be one-sided. Because the so-called courses are full of the instructor's world view and outlook on life.
In the final analysis, those things are other people's stuff and do not belong to the students themselves.
Speaking of academic exchanges, thank you letters are actually quite a headache.
At this stage, with Huaxia Private School as the center, the only private school suitable for communication is Xiaoyi Private School.
Other private schools, either ethnic schools or public schools, may wholeheartedly accept the knowledge that Xie Xin brought here, but the knowledge exchanged to Huaxia Academy as a price will always be reserved.
If this goes on for a long time, their students will become more and more knowledgeable, but the students of Huaxia Academy will always be half a step behind them.
Just thinking about it makes Xie Xin feel so aggrieved.
But looking around the neighborhood, Xie Xin couldn't find any private school that was more suitable for him to communicate with.
"Could it be that we have to go to other counties to search?" Xie Xin couldn't help but mutter.
While Xie Xin was worrying about future academic exchanges and the students were preparing for the academic exchange in three days, an uninvited guest came to the door of the private school.
"This is the so-called Xie Family...now it has been renamed Huaxia Private School? It looks like it is indeed a simple and remote place!
Sure enough, as the saying goes, 'What kind of clothes goes with what kind of person, what kind of saddle goes with what kind of horse'. That country bumpkin Xie Xin is just suitable to live in this poor country and run this shabby private school!
"The young man looked at the private school in front of him and said to himself contemptuously.
"Here, please go over and announce that Yuan Shu, the eldest son of the Yuan family in Runan, is visiting, and tell Xie Xin to come out immediately!" The young man, Yuan Shu, said to a follower beside him.
The entourage nodded in agreement, and then ran to the gate and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone in the private school? My young master, Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family in Runan, has come to pay a visit. I hope Master Xie will come out to see you!"
Although the tone was considered polite, there was still a condescending attitude implicit in the words.
Sure enough, what kind of person he is and what kind of dog he raises.
If the master is arrogant, the servants will naturally not be much better. Both of them are villains who rely on their own power.
After three calls, it really made some of the older students inside very unhappy.
One or two of them murmured in their hearts: Since you are here to visit, according to etiquette, you should hand in your name card, wait for notification and get permission before you can enter the private school!
What does it mean to shout like this a few times and ask the owner to go out to greet him?
According to the rules, only when facing the master's family, people from the affiliated family will go out to greet them in person to show respect and obedience.
If the private school teacher leaves, doesn't it mean that the Xie family is attached to the Yuan family in Runan?!
The teachers are all vassals of the Yuan family in Runan, so who are we students? We will work as slaves for the Yuan family after graduation?!
With this idea in mind, students will naturally not go to the inner courtyard to send letters of thanks.
As for Xie Xin, who was in the inner courtyard, taking advantage of his lunch break, he took advantage of the time to practice the immortal magic. Naturally, he couldn't hear the doorbell of the outer courtyard.
Xie Yi and others knew about it, but just like those students, they followed the attitude of "we won't greet the other party if they don't follow the rules" and did whatever they were supposed to do.
"Master, I've called out six times, but no one has come out. They look down on our Runan family too much!" Seeing that there was no response inside, the attendant could only run back to Yuan Shu angrily and complained to him.
"I have seen it all!" Yuan Shu was relatively calm and did not lose his temper because of his entourage's words.
"If I hadn't asked for help from him for the time being, I would have found someone to deal with this little private school!" Yuan Shu muttered fiercely.
But then he took out a famous card and handed it to the attendant, asking him to hand it out according to etiquette.
The attendants were also puzzled, why did this arrogant young master change his gender?
But he still did what Yuan Shu ordered perfectly.
"Yuan Shu, the legitimate son of the Yuan family in Runan, wants to see you. Please let me know!" The attendant returned to the gate again and called politely inside.
Hearing this shout, the students became less angry.
Out of courtesy, Lou Gui walked out first and came to the gate of the private school.
"Master Xie is busy, please allow me to report first!" Lou Gui took the assassination, left these words and turned around and returned to the private school.
"Master, is this thank you letter deliberately trying to trick us?" Another attendant beside Yuan Shu complained.
"Yes! This private school doesn't look very big. I shouted for a long time. Even if I am busy, I should have heard it. Now that I am busy and need to report, I am totally playing tricks on us!" The previous follower returned to Yuan Shu's place.
People around me couldn't help but complain a bit.
"Although it is possible, I think maybe the thank you letter is really not available." Another boy who looked like a scribe said.
"Yang Hong, do you think Xie Xin is really busy and didn't hear our calls?" Yuan Shu could still hear a few words from this young and future military advisor.
"Road, look at that mountainside!" Yang Hong pointed towards the mountain.
"There... there seems to be a mountain gate?!" Yuan Shu looked carefully and then discovered the mountain gate.
"If you guessed correctly, the private school is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard. The outer courtyard is naturally where students stay and attend classes, and the inner courtyard is where the teachers live.
Although it is only possible, it cannot be ruled out that he is busy with something in the inner courtyard. The two places are too far apart, so it is not surprising that he cannot hear our calls." Yang Hong explained slowly.
"This makes sense." Yuan Shu thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"If you thank me for the letter in the inner courtyard, I'm afraid it will take some time to come out... Come on, give me that glass of honey water!" Yuan Shu saw that he had to wait for a while and his throat was a little dry, so he called to the entourage behind him.
.
Not long after, an accompanying maid brought a glass of honey water.
"There is really no drink in the world that can compare to honey water!" Yuan Shu couldn't help but sigh with emotion after taking a sip of honey water.
"It's just that honey is hard to buy, and only a big family like the Yuan family is qualified to enjoy it!" Yang Hong agreed with a smile.
As soon as he talked about his family background, Yuan Shu's mood immediately improved a lot.
What does a letter of thanks mean? Even if he writes a few books, what does it matter if he is appreciated by celebrities? In terms of family background and family heritage, how can he, a descendant of a small Nanyang family, compare to a direct descendant of a big family like his own?
eldest son?!
About a quarter of an hour later, Lou Gui walked out of the door of the private school again.
"Teacher, you are invited!" He came to Yuan Shu and others and said with his hands raised.
"Let's go in!" Yuan Shu dismounted and smiled at Yang Hong.
Accompanied by Yang Hong, Yuan Shu walked directly into the door of the private school, and then followed Lou Gui's guidance to the reception room.
This was originally Xie Xin's room, but with the emergence of the inner courtyard, it was changed into a reception room.
A spirit gathering array is set up here, and abundant spiritual energy gathers in it. Mortals sitting here can relax their mood and reduce fatigue. If you live here for a long time, extending your life is not a dream.
When Yuan Shu and others walked into the reception room, they felt much better for the first time.
They didn't understand the things of the Xian family, they just thought that it was because this simple and elegant reception room gave them a fresh and refined feeling that they were in such a state.
Not long after, Xie Yi served tea to the two of them.
This is not the mainstream brewed tea, but after Xie Xin's many experiments, it is finally fried tea leaves and brewed after a lot of craftsmanship.
It's a pity that this kind of good thing can only be digested internally. If it is sold for sale, there will be various reasons for losing everything. And if it is used to develop, there will be various reasons for its development to fail.
Xie Xin has no solution to this situation at this stage.
"This tea..." Yang Hong is also a tea lover, and he knew this tea was extraordinary as soon as he smelled it.
After taking a sip and tasting it carefully, I couldn't help but sigh: "This tea only exists in heaven, how can I have the chance to taste it on earth!"
"Good poem! Although the format is not quite right." Yuan Shu said with a smile.
However, he is also very satisfied with this kind of tea.
"It tastes better than honey water. It's really annoying!" While satisfied, he was also extremely dissatisfied with Xie Xin.
Now that he is allowed to drink this tea, the honey water has lost its luster. In the future, if Yuan Shu is allowed to drink honey water, the satisfaction will not be as rich as before.
Yang Hong was also a well-rounded person and could see through Yuan Shu's little thoughts at a glance.
"Since Xie Xin uses this kind of tea to entertain guests, he should still have some on hand. When I go back, I might as well ask for some more. If not, I can just give the money to buy some." Yang Hong smiled.
said.
"We won't tell you until then!" Although Yuan Shu did not agree immediately, he was already interested.
"Your distinguished guest is here. Please forgive me for not receiving my thank you letter from afar!" A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Then, Xie Xin opened the door and walked in.
"Well, we haven't seen each other for a few months, why has Xie Xin's temperament changed?" Yuan Shu was keenly aware of the difference in Xie Xin.
"He is quite talented. If his academic achievements were greater, he would indeed be a perfect man!" Yang Hong couldn't help but comment in his heart when he saw the thank you letter for the first time.
"No, the highway came here this time to disturb Master Xie. We should apologize." Yuan Shu replied politely.
But between the lines, it not only stated that Xie Xin was just a small private school teacher, but also meant that he did not do his job properly and did not teach during the day. Instead, he stayed in the inner courtyard and did not know what he was doing.
The so-called apology was naturally devoid of any sincerity in its tone.
Xie Xin was also accustomed to Yuan Shu's words.
Not to mention meeting him for the first time at Yingchuan Academy, and meeting him in Luoyang in spring, how could he still not know Yuan Shu's temperament?
If you take his words seriously, you will lose!
"I wonder why you two came here this time?" Xie Xin was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He took a sip from the tea cup and asked lightly.
