‘Ah! What should I do?’ Everyone was stunned when they heard Mr. Zhu’s words. They didn’t expect that the book was still an antique, and it was written by famous artists.

The shopkeeper quickly angrily reached out and pinched Xiaobei's head, and then said apologetically to Mr. Zhu. "I will definitely hit her on the board."

Mr. Zhu looked at Zhangguan Tong like this, and then looked at Xiao Bei's obedient manner, and his anger was relieved. He pondered for a while and said.

"Forget it, this book is dead, people live, and if it is destroyed, it will be ruined. Anyway, I have read the contents of the book for a long time." Mr. Zhu said generously.

When everyone who heard Mr. Zhu said this, he was overjoyed not to mention the shopkeeper. Even Xiao Liu, who was secretly paying attention, was a little surprised.

Who is Wang Anshi? One of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, he is a true literary master.

He was even a person who had been prime minister and had promoted reforms.

There are books he annotated by himself, not to mention that they are worth ten thousand gold, but there are still some of them.

Such a precious book was destroyed, so if you say you don’t pursue it, you won’t pursue it.

This kind of transcendence and open-mindedness are not comparable to ordinary literati. Mr. Zhu is truly a person who studies Laozi and Zhuangzi.

"Sir, you are so generous." Everyone in the shopkeeper quickly poured wine to Mr. Zhu to thank him, but they didn't know how to thank Mr. Zhu.

Mr. Zhu was also very happy to see everyone's excited appearance. Helping others is the basis of happiness, Mr. Zhu said happily.

"Actually, to be honest, I have always admired Xiao Bei, who dared to break the rules and subvert authority at such a young age. This courage and courage are really valuable!"

When everyone was confused when they heard Mr. Zhu praise Xiaobei for his courage and courage, they were a little confused. Didn’t this visit come to scold Xiaobei? Why did they praise him?

"Sir, are you confused?" the shopkeeper asked with some irritation.

Seeing everyone's puzzled look, Mr. Zhu explained with a smile.

"It is true that Xiao Bei did something wrong, but her courage and courage are real."

"Just talk about the article she wrote last time. It was clear and every word was rational. Although it seemed immature in the article and brushwork, the views expressed in it were very novel, which shows the kid's talent."

As he spoke, Mr. Zhu couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Bei's head, as if he had attracted a proud disciple.

"Forehead..."

When everyone heard Mr. Zhu's words, they couldn't help but look at Xiao Guo with some embarrassment because the article Confucius was her spoof.

Mr. Zhu looked at the crowd's faces and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong? This is?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly smiled and poured another glass of wine for the husband, and replied.

"It's okay, sir, you continue."

Mr. Zhu took a sip of wine and continued to talk.

"Everyone knows the prefect Lu of the previous dynasty, right?"

Hearing this, everyone smiled and looked at the scholar, nodded repeatedly.

"I know, I know."

The prefect of Guangyang Prefecture of the previous dynasty was the grandfather of the scholar and was appointed as the fourth rank of official position.

But unfortunately, he died the second year after becoming the prefect.

The scholar's family began to lose their family status from then on.

But no matter what, at least the ancestors were rich, so the scholar often mentioned the glorious deeds of his ancestors in front of everyone.

Over time, everyone was familiar with the affairs of Prefect Lu.

When the scholar heard Mr. Zhu mention his most proud grandfather, he was so happy that he quickly sat upright, hoping that everyone would listen to the glorious deeds of his ancestors.

However, when Mr. Zhu's words changed, they directly turned to the scholar.

"There is a grandson in this prefect Lu, everyone knows. He knows a thousand words at the age of three, recites Tang poetry at the age of five, and reads the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of eight..."

The scholar was happy when he heard Mr. Zhu praise him for his intelligence when he was a child. When he heard Mr. Zhu say something wrong, he quickly reminded him in a kind manner.

"It's seven years old, seven years old."

Everyone looked at the scholar's smug look, and Mr. Zhu ignored him and continued to say with a smile.

"This kid, when he was young, he was honest and well-behaved, but do you know how he is now?"

When everyone heard Mr. Zhu’s inquiry, they looked at the scholar in a teasing manner.

The scholar continued to be full of spring breeze. He had been depressed and unsuccessful for so long, and finally someone still remembered him, a former child prodigy.

But before the scholar could be proud, Mr. Zhu said directly.

"He, he is so poor that he can't even afford to eat, and he has sold all his ancestors' property."

The proud smile on the scholar's face disappeared in an instant.

"Oh~" Everyone also looked at the scholar teasingly when they heard this.

The scholar looked at the teasing eyes of everyone and felt his cheeks burning, but he still said very hard.

"Sooner or later, they will be redeemed."

However, everyone didn't care about the scholar's bold words. As for the shopkeeper's shrewdness, it was a dream that he wanted to redeem the things he bought for two cents of silver. The shopkeeper's inn could sell three taels for three hundred taels...

The shopkeeper has understood after listening for so long.

"Sir, what you mean is that you should not educate children too well, right?"

Hearing that Zhangguan Tong finally understood what he meant, Mr. Zhu also smiled and nodded in response.

"Well, yes! This child has a natural nature, dares to be open-minded and does not fear authority, which is a good thing." Mr. Zhu praised repeatedly.

When he heard Mr. Zhu's words, although the shopkeeper was a little enlightened, he still said with some concern.

"Sir, you don't know that Xiao Bei is not much the same as an ordinary child."

Hearing Zhanggui Tong's words, Mr. Zhu nodded in a clear way. He had taught so many students, so how could he not know the parents' concerns?

"I understand, this child needs to be disciplined. But if the discipline is too strict and is foolish, it will kill the child's nature and become the prodigal grandson of the prefect."

When everyone heard this, it seemed that this was the meaning, but the scholar was next to them and they did not dare to agree.

As for the scholar, he was so angry that he was trembling all over and gritting his teeth.

Mr. Zhu was still unaware of it and continued to ask everyone.

"You said, does this prefect's grandson have a future?"

Lao Bai and others quarrel with scholars every day, and answered this kind of question in unison without thinking about it.

"No!"

Mr. Zhu continued to ask.

"Does he have hope?"

Everyone answered unanimously again.

"No!"

Then Mr. Zhu asked again.

"Is he human?"

"No!" Everyone blurted out inertially, but after just a moment, they immediately realized it.

The scholar also stared at everyone with murderous eyes, and everyone quickly changed their words. "Yes, yes, yes."

When Mr. Zhu saw that everyone said there was, he thought everyone didn't know what human nature he was talking about, so he explained it to everyone.

"This human nature is the first appearance of the spiritual light between heaven and earth, and the warning of the world of the world. If he had such mysterious things, wouldn't they have pigs and dogs?"

Everyone then realized that the human nature they thought was not the same concept, but this metaphor for putting scholars and pigs and dogs together was too much, and they didn't dare to answer the conversation.

The scholar gritted his teeth even more. He looked like he wanted to compete with Mr. Zhu.

Xiao Liu, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel curious when he saw this scene. Mr. Zhu seemed to be deliberately provoking a scholar. Could it be that the scholar's grandfather had something to do with him?

Judging from his knowledge of the Lu family, he could not have known that this inn was originally the Lu family's property.

And since you know, why is he so excited about scholars in person like this? Is it just venting his disdain in his heart?

No, with his free and easy just now, this old man is not such a person. He must have a different meaning in doing so. Xiao Liu pressed without moving and continued to listen.

The shopkeeper also saw that the scholar was ready to move, so he quickly pulled him and glared at him, then pressed the scholar who was ready to move.

The shopkeeper quickly smiled and pulled the topic away. "Sir, I understand what you mean. I will definitely discipline Xiao Bei well."

Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Mr. Zhu said everything he should have said, and it was time to withdraw. He patted Xiaobei on the shoulder and praised him again, which made everyone embarrassed.

Everyone hurriedly wanted to entertain Mr. Zhu with kindness, but Mr. Zhu did not come to have a free meal and said goodbye and left.

Everyone hurriedly sent them out, except for the scholar.
