The effect of this punch was no less than poking a hornet's nest. The scholars around him immediately started talking about it.

As the saying goes, a gentleman talks but never touches. They were just scholars, and they called themselves gentlemen on weekdays. How could anyone hit someone if they disagreed?

The beaten scholar looked in disbelief at first, and then became furious. He was about to come up and tear Chu Ci apart, but the people around him immediately stopped him to comfort him.

Chu Ci stood there and sneered, then bent down to pick up the books and dusted the dirt on them with his hands.

"People will humiliate themselves and others will humiliate them. I hope you will remember today's lesson and don't stand up for others." After saying this, he walked to the county school.

The scholar's chest heaved violently, and when he saw everyone looking at him thoughtfully, he suddenly felt that he lost all face. He yelled, broke away from the others, clenched his fists and ran towards Chu Ci.

Chu Ci was caught off guard. When he heard the scream and looked back, his fist had already reached the door. He only had time to curse you in his heart, and the rest could only close his eyes and accept the kiss from the fist.

Chu Ci couldn't feel the pain on his face for a long time. He opened his eyes and saw a hand stretching out from behind him, squeezing the scholar's fist.

This hand looked strong and strong, and the scholar's face was distorted when he pinched it, and he almost screamed out in pain.

Chu Ci's face was pressed against the man's arm, and a warmth spread down his arm through his clothes. It seemed that if he got closer, he could feel the beating of his pulse.

Chu Ci turned around quickly, but because the man was standing too close, he bumped into his arms. Chu Ci took a step back calmly, bowed his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your help, brother. I'm very grateful."

"It's okay, it's just a little effort." The man's voice sounded like the morning bell in the academy, dull but sweet.

Chu Ci raised his head and saw the man's appearance clearly. Two sword-shaped eyebrows flew into his temples, a pair of deep eyes, a nose like a gallbladder, and a very thin upper lip. There was a scar on the side of his face, but this scar not only affected

His good looks actually make him more masculine.

For a moment, Chu Ci seemed to see a general wearing heavy armor, but when he looked closely, he was wearing regular clothes, and his eyes looking at Chu Ci were gentle and calm.

"Brother, with a little effort, you saved me from the pain of my flesh and blood, which is a great kindness to me. I have not yet received my title of Chu Ci. May I ask my brother what your surname is?"

"I don't dare to take it. I'm Kou Jing, so I'll keep silent."

"But what's the meaning of 'a scholar should be in peace, respect the elderly and be noble'?" Chu Ci asked.

"It's quiet quiet." Kou Jing explained.

Kou Jing came to the county school today because of his little nephew. When he returned home from the military camp a few days ago, the first thing he did was to go to his ancestral graves to pay homage to his parents and sister.

His sister was so beautiful that she only left her nephew with her blood. According to her sister's last words, his nephew had to stay in Yuanshan County for three years before he could return to the capital.

During this period, studies must not be interrupted.

Although his family could hire a teacher to teach him alone, Kou Jing thought it would be better for him to have classmates. So early that morning, he went to the county school to visit his former teacher, hoping that the county school would allow his nephew to enroll.

His husband, who is now the mountain chief, asked Kou Jing to wait for him because other guests suddenly came to the door.

Kou sat quietly for a while, then walked around and looked around, remembering that he had stayed here for a long time. Regarding the matter now, he had actually been listening from the beginning, but it was just that he was not allowed to come out because he was not allowed to listen.

The scholar seemed to be able to talk to the crowd of scholars with ease and did not need anyone else to say anything for him.

Now that he saw that the sharp-tongued scholar was going to suffer, he took action rashly.

The two of them were chatting happily, but Zhu Jie, the scholar whose hand was grabbed, quit.

"Who are you? Why are you helping him deal with me? We don't need an outsider like you to take care of our county school affairs! Get out!"

"Zhu Jie, don't talk nonsense! This is the son of Mr. Kou, a Jinshi scholar in the 16th year of Xian Jiayou's reign. It turns out that he also studied in the county school." An old man with a serious face came out.

Kou Jing used to be a civil servant, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to take the exam because of the scars on his face. He could have gone home and become a noble man, but the ambition of the young man did not allow him to live a lazy life, so he gave up his writing and joined the army and joined the army.

.

With the development of the Wei Dynasty, Kou Jing's choice was becoming more and more emphasis on civility over military affairs. In their view, Kou Jing's choice was self-destruction. When the examiner of the provincial examination saw that this student had no literary character at all, he dismissed him with a stroke of a pen.

Except. Therefore, Chief Kong Shan did not mention this matter when he introduced it.

Kou Jing let go of Zhu Jie and turned around to apologize to Master Kong: "Jing was so rude in a hurry. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's none of your business. You took action in time to prevent the situation from getting more serious. You two, come in and talk to me." Chief Kong Shan looked at Zhu Jie and Chu Ci angrily, daring to fight at the gate of the county school.

Get up, it’s really an insult to gentlemen!

Kong Shanchang walked in front, looking very angry with his hands behind his back. Zhu Jie snorted and walked in front, thinking that he wanted the evildoer to file a complaint first. Chu Ci smiled bitterly, it seemed that most of the fault in this matter was his, but

He didn't regret what he did at all.

Kou Jing glanced at Chu Ci, and then pointed at a building beside the stone bridge seemingly casually.

Chu Ci followed his hand and looked there, and found that it was a tower. The tower was in the shape of a hexagonal column, with small holes on it, and traces of burning around it. The whole tower looked simple in shape, and seemed to have a lot of

year.

What kind of tower is this? Chu Ci frowned at first, then had a flash of inspiration, looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly smiled, he understood.

"Thank you very much." Chu Ci opened his mouth and mouthed thanks to Kou Jing.

Kou Jing smiled and nodded slightly towards Chu Ci. As he saw, this scholar was indeed very smart.

Chief Kong Shan led them into a classroom, then lifted his robes and sat down in front of the classroom, "What did you two do?"

"Chief, the student just argued a few words with the man named Chu. Unexpectedly, he couldn't argue, so he hurt someone. You see my face, I asked him to hit me. Not only that, he also made sarcastic remarks after hurting people,

The student was really angry, so he wanted to fight back." Zhu Jie changed his previous arrogance and turned into a little white flower in front of the mountain leader.

"Chu Ci, is this possible?" Kong Shanchang did not come to a direct conclusion. He turned to look at Chu Ci, who was standing aside unfazed, wanting to hear his answer.

"Sir, you are polite." Chu Ci bowed his hands first, "What happened today was indeed the student's first move. Sir, he once taught us to treat others with sincerity. Students would not dare to deceive the master. However, let's find out the reason.

, but it’s not like what Brother Zhu said just now, it’s just for the sake of temporary motivation, but for other hidden reasons.” After Chu Ci finished speaking, he looked at Chief Kong Shan respectfully, waiting for his permission.

"Please tell me slowly." Kong Shanchang's face softened slightly, and his tone became gentler.

"Yes, Chief Shan, please take a look at these books first." Chu Ci took the books in his hand and placed them on the desk next to Chief Kong.

"The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, and the Book of Songs, you can still keep reading while studying at home, that's good." Kong Shan stroked his long beard with a look of satisfaction on his face. When he turned to the back, his face suddenly darkened: "

Hey, why are these pages so filthy? How can you not cherish it so much?"

These books are regarded as holy scriptures by those who read them, and Kong Shanchang was no exception. He found that the books were stained, and his mood suddenly became bad.

"I'm sorry that the students don't agree with what Master Shan said." Chu Ci looked aggrieved. "Students always cherish the pages of books and never dare to damage or make them dirty. Students remember the teacher's teachings when they entered school and always 'respect the paper'.

Don't dare to forget. Even if the family is in a difficult situation, the students don't dare to use the waste paper after practicing calligraphy every day for other purposes. Every once in a while, they will go to the font tower to burn it. How can the students dare to insult the saint's book?

?”

Ziku Tower is also known as "Character Pavilion" and "Character Burning Furnace". There is one in every town. Even some wealthy people will enshrine one in their homes. Naturally, the county school also has one, just not far from the door.

Next to the stone bridge, students from the county school can burn paper manuscripts.

"So, what are these books about?"

"The student was talking to Brother Qi and Brother He in front of the door. The two of them had some misunderstandings about the student. The student confessed his feelings to them before they cleared up their misunderstanding about me. Just when the two of them were about to apologize to the student, Brother Zhu suddenly rushed in

The general came up and wanted to take action. He ignored the student's embrace of the saint's book and knocked all the books to the ground, leaving them in a filthy place. The student was shocked and angry, and just then he made a move on Brother Zhu. Now that he thinks about it, the student is really

I was too impulsive, I should have handed over this disrespectful person to the mountain chief and asked the mountain chief to punish him." Chu Ci said with a face of shame.

Zhu Jie's face suddenly became ugly. This Chu Ci is really eloquent!

But the one with the most ugly face was Chief Kong Shan. He looked at Zhu Jie intently and said in a deep voice: "Is this possible?"

"The student...the student didn't know he was holding these books before. I...I thought they were his own homework."

"Snapped--"

Kong Shanchang slapped the table: "It's ridiculous. Even if it's his own homework, you can't knock it to the ground! When you first entered school, your enlightened teacher should have taught you to cherish the writing paper and never forget the first

The merits of man-made calligraphy! After you enter the county school, your husband will take you to the Ziku Tower to burn your manuscripts once a year. Where have you read all your books?"

Zhu Jie's face turned pale, and he hurriedly raised his hands and bowed: "Students dare not forget what you taught me! I was wrong about what happened today. Please don't be angry, Master. I will apologize to him right now."

He originally thought that by inducing Chu Ci to take action today, he would definitely be punished. Who would have thought that Chu Ci would actually get involved, and now he is the one who has stolen the chicken but lost the rice.

"Brother Chu, I was obsessed with it at the next moment and defiled the book of the saint. Please forgive me once, sir."

He kept his attitude very low, thinking: If Chu Ci is still aggressive, Chief Kong Shan will definitely think that he is a narrow-minded villain.

How could Chu Ci be fooled?

He smiled faintly and said: "Brother Zhu, there is no need to apologize to me. As long as you remember the mountain chief's instructions today, it is enough. Of course, I also have to apologize for beating you. It was Chu Ci who was impulsive."

Chu Ci's good demeanor made Zhu Jie even more vulgar, and Master Kong's favorable impression of Chu Ci inevitably increased a lot. It's a pity that this son has never become his disciple, otherwise he would definitely be able to do so in the future based on his ambition and courage.

Achieve a career.

Chief Kong Shan made a summary, and finally asked Zhu Jie to copy all the books that were stained today, and then go to the Ziku Tower to burn them to apologize. As for Chu Ci, although he was impulsive, he was trying to protect the saint, so he was not punished.

Zhu Jie accepted the punishment begrudgingly, but inside he felt resentment for today's shame. He secretly glared at Chu Ci, his eyes full of threats.

Chu Ci said that he was not afraid of him at all, and he could use whatever tricks he wanted to trick him. Write the character "chu" upside down!

When the matter came to an end, Shan Chang and Kou Jing went to the study, while Chu Ci went to his husband to ask about poetry.
