Chapter 422: Debate
Zhang Peng spoke and pointed to the small door.
The few people exchanged glances, nodded, and walked towards the door.
“Wait! Only the two of them can enter, the rest of the miscellaneous people will wait.”
Mr. ng blew his beard and widened his eyes, looking impatient.
After his gaze t Liu Sisi’s, he couldn’t help but glare: “Daring ignorant woman! This is the sacred land of Confucius! How can it be allowed for such an ignorant woman like you to enter and exit freely? Get out! ”
Liu Sisi was scolded and imdiately looked stunned, not understanding the connection between this place and her entering and leaving.
Di Yelei saw it and hurried over to make peace: “Mr. ng, please forgive ! Today, my son ca to register, and my wife was too anxious about the child’s registration, so she forgot the rules and followed us in. Please forgive , Mr. ng!”
His words significantly improved Mr. ng’s complexion, but he did not let Liu Sisi go: “Considering your love for your child, I will not pursue this matter for the ti being. However, as soon as the two people co out, you should leave quickly and not pollute this sacred land!”
Liu Sisi’s anger welled up inside her, who had she offended by coming here?
This teacher was so unreasonable, it was simply outrageous!
With a twinkle in her eye, she stepped forward and said with a light laugh: “Mr. ng, you are wrong! I ca here first of all because of my love for my child, so I followed him in. Secondly, I heard that you have great knowledge and are a rare scholar. I have a question that I am unable to solve, so I ca to ask for your advice!”
As she spoke, she respectfully bowed to Mr. ng.
Liu Sisi’s attitude was very satisfactory to Mr. ng!
He spun around, sat back down in his chair, stroked his beard, and raised his chin: “Alright, speak! What difficult question do you have?”
Her knowing look almost made Liu Sisi laugh.
“I am a village woman who admires knowledgeable people. I heard that this is the sacred land of Confucius, so I dared to co and ask today.”
She raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a shallow dimpled smile: “Yesterday, a few of us village won were chatting about discussing the origins of the phrases ‘Equal Education for All’ and ‘Judging People by Appearance,’ and there were many disputes between us. In the end, it almost turned into a fight, so I dared to co and inquire today. Mr. ng, do you know where these two sentences co from and what they an?”
Afterwards, she bowed respectfully again.
A sincere attitude of seeking advice.
These words imdiately changed Mr. ng’s face! He couldn’t help but snorted angrily.
It turned out that she had dug a pit for him to fall into!
Just at this mont, two more people ca to register. Mr. ng waved his hand impatiently, wanting to send everyone away.
“Go away! Just a few trivial words from village won’s casual chat are not worth embarrassing ourselves in front of Confucius. Considering that you are a woman who doesn’t understand books and rules, I will not bla you today. Leave quickly! Don’t block the way for the students coming to register behind.”
He wanted to fire a blank shot and run away!
Liu Sisi imdiately raised the corners of her mouth and countered: “Teacher, you are wrong. I ca to see you with sincerity today. Where did the words ‘bla’ co from in your words? I hope Mr. ng can enlighten !”
Liu Sisi’s refutation imdiately made Mr. ng’s face change drastically! But he had nothing to say.
He glanced over the few people present and had to forcefully calm himself down, staring at Liu Sisi hatefully: “What are you trying to say?”
Liu Sisi looked innocent: “It’s just so idle words from a village woman, but I would like to ask the teacher for help.”
“When the debate escalated yesterday, soone asked: ‘Confucius lost his father at the age of three and was raised by his mother. The old saying goes, “A woman without talent is virtuous.” But without talent, isn’t that the so-called ignorance? So, should Confucius’ sacred family sweep his ignorant mother out of the house? What right does he have to talk about filial piety then?’ ”
“You! You cunning woman, how dare you insult Confucius, I, I…”
These words made Mr. ng’s face swell up like a pig liver, various colors changing constantly. He pointed at Liu Sisi but couldn’t speak.
“Mr. ng, you are wrong. I’m a woman with shallow knowledge, and I’m arguing with my neighbors. It’s just boring. If I offend you with the wrong words, I hope you will forgive as I am a humble woman and sincerely ask for advice.” As she spoke, Liu Sisi smiled and bowed to him with an earnest face.
But, this smile fell into Mr. ng’s eyes and beca a naked slap in the face!
It made the suffocating anger in his chest almost unbearable!
But she was so polite, and he was confused for a mont and couldn’t find fault.
It happened at this ti that the boy who ca to register curiously asked his dad: “Father, what does ‘Equal Education for All’ an?”
“This…”
The man scratched his head, looking embarrassed: “It should an teaching people with no class, right?”
“Pfft!”
Little Ying beside laughed out loud but imdiately covered her mouth.
The boy looked curiously at Ying’er: “Little sister, do you know the aning of this sentence?”
Ying’er looked up at Liu Sisi and saw that her mother didn’t say a word. She then lowered her head and shook it slightly.
On the side, Di Yelei saw Mr. ng’s worsening face and imdiately said goodbye with a fist greeting: “Since there are more students coming to register, we will wait outside for the ti being. Farewell!”
Mr. ng could hardly hold back his laughter, squinting his eyes and staring at Liu Sisi viciously.
He forced the words through his teeth: “Alright! Alright!”
It was only then that everyone left the room.
Ying’er looked back puzzled: “Mom! Didn’t you teach Ying’er the aning of ‘Equal Education for All’? That it ans: education shouldn’t exclude anyone based on wealth, nobility, intelligence, goodness, or evil, and education should be given to all? Why don’t they understand?”
At this mont, only one ter away from the door, Mr. ng in the room choked for a long ti before coughing repeatedly.
A little girl could even understand what was so difficult to ask him?
Liu Sisi chuckled, picking up Ying’er on the way: “Our Ying’er is so smart! Co on, let’s go over there and wait for your brother to return triumphantly!”
Upon reaching the pavilion on the other side, Liu Sisi put Ying’er down, looked up, and saw Di Yelei hesitating to speak. She curiously asked: “What’s wrong? Do you have sothing to say?”
Di Yelei sighed softly: “That Mr. ng is famously stingy. You just confronted him, and if Xuan’er and Yun’er don’t pass the examination and have to study under him, what will we do?”
