Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chen He is very familiar with Dong Xuanzai's works, he only glanced at the "Rock Dwelling Picture" in front of him, and he knew it was genuine.But he didn't reach out to pick it up, but raised his eyes to look at Gu Mingan who was nervous and looking forward to him, and asked in a cold tone;

"Since I'm a teacher and a student, then I'll just teach, and you just listen to the class carefully. What does Mr. Gu mean by that?"

Gu Ming'an's scalp tightened, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, and he quickly added: "The student is thinking that Mr. is a great Confucianist with profound knowledge, but now he condescends to be this teacher, and he is really wronged. This Just as a little compensation for the teacher's troublesome teaching, a small thank you is not a respect."

Chen He sneered: "According to what you mean, if I don't accept gifts, I will be perfunctory in teaching and not teach you seriously? In the eyes of Second Young Master Gu, I, Chen, am actually this kind of person who only cares about money. Villain!"

Chen He's face became gloomy, and he pointed at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan who were standing beside him, with anger hidden in his voice: "Second Master Gu, you can ask them, I, Chen He, have taught in Luxi Academy for so many years, Have you ever received a gift? And have you ever treated them differently because of which student gave a gift and which student didn't?"

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stepped forward at the right time and said: "Mr. Chen is rigorous in his teaching, and he stands upright. He has always taught students without discrimination and treated them equally. He has never accepted gifts from any students, and he has never treated anyone differently for any reason."

The tone of the two of them was firm, loud and clear, and their orderly voices echoed in the empty and quiet room, shaking Gu Mingan's face so pale.

Hearing the words, Chen He's expression turned pale, and after he let out a breath slowly, he said to Gu Ming'an, "Second Young Master Gu, can you hear me clearly?"

Gu Mingan was drenched in cold sweat from fright, and replied with a trembling voice: "Listen, I heard clearly. Mr. Chen misunderstood, I actually wanted to..."

"Misunderstanding? I don't think it's a misunderstanding." Seeing that Gu Mingan was still forcefully defending without knowing his mistakes, Chen He's anger that had just subsided suddenly rose again, "I clearly remember that Second Young Master Gu also said that being a teacher is wronged Why, teaching and educating people, cultivating talents for the court, is it so unbearable in the mind of Second Young Master Gu? Or is it that the entire Gu family, and even everyone present, think so?"

Gu Mingan widened his eyes in panic, and anxiously denied: "No, no, no! That's not what I meant!"

Everyone waved their hands after hearing the words: "We didn't think so!"

Seeing that Chen He was really angry, and other people around him kept winking at him, Gu Mingan had no choice but to swallow his saliva, and said with great difficulty: "This gift-giving is done by me personally, and it doesn't represent others, let alone the Gu family. , and ask Mr. Chen to appease his anger."

"The reason why I gave this gift is to please Mr., to leave a good impression on you, and make you pay more attention to me. Now it seems that I am too superficial..." I personally said that I had an ulterior motive , Gu Mingan was extremely embarrassed, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

What Chen He dislikes the most are those students who don't put their minds on the right path, and only follow heresy ways.Hearing that he looked down on Gu Ming'an even more, he immediately reprimanded: "As a student, you should concentrate on studying hard and only think about currying favors every day. What's the use? Can you pass the imperial examination?"

As he said that, Chen He cast a sideways glance at the pale-faced Gu Mingan, and said in a cold voice, "If you really want me to value you, you should show your real talents and skills, instead of giving gifts as soon as you meet, it's really superficial!"

As students who have been with Chen He for two and a half years, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan naturally know what kind of temperament he is, and they are not surprised at the scene before them. They just watched Gu Mingan being trained to become shorter and shorter , and finally sat down on the ground.

Compared with Gu Ming'an, who was paralyzed on the ground and lost his image, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan who stood quietly by the side looked more calm and collected.Especially Cheng Yan, who came from a poor background but never underestimated himself. He has a tough heart and a correct attitude. He doesn't know how much stronger than Gu Ming'an who came from a wealthy family.

Comparing the two, Chen He already had a bias in his heart, and said to Gu Ming'an with a cold face:
"Look at Cheng Yan, he has always been down-to-earth and serious. When he first entered Luxi Academy, he didn't have a good reputation, but he was No. 1 among the freshmen in the first monthly exam. Everyone looks at him with admiration, you should learn from him!"

After being reprimanded by Chen He in public, Gu Ming'an's face was almost unbearable, and now he heard him comparing himself with Cheng Yan, he felt even more dissatisfied, and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Give a gift to Mr., and use yourself to judge others to misunderstand that Mr. likes money and profit. , I was wrong. But how does the master know that I have no real talents and learning, and I am not as good as Cheng Yan?"

Seeing that Gu Mingan dared to talk back, Chen He almost laughed angrily: "Then tell me, what are your real talents and learning? Show it to me!"

Gu Mingan choked on his words, and his momentum lost half a point, but he still stuck his neck and said firmly: "...Anyway, Mr. has never seen my talent and learning, so don't jump to conclusions and rashly judge that I am not as good as Cheng Yan."

"Okay! Then let me see your talent and learning." Chen He was so angry that his teeth itched, and he managed to maintain his demeanor as a teacher. "Since you like giving gifts so much, let me ask you, among the 'three gifts' How many chapters are there in "Yi Li"? What are the titles of each chapter?"

Gu Mingan felt that although he wasn't very talented, he still had some ink in his stomach. He didn't expect that a question Chen He casually asked happened to involve his knowledge blind spot, and he couldn't answer it for a while.

Seeing that he hadn't answered aloud for a long time, as if he was being asked, Chen He narrowed his eyes: "What? Can't answer?"

Gu Ming'an blushed, and he hesitated to explain: "...the imperial examination is not taken, so what do I learn from it. If it is about rites, I am very familiar with "Book of Rites"..."

"If you don't take the imperial examination, you don't study. Is this your academic attitude?" Chen He snorted coldly, and casually called Cheng Yan's name, "Cheng Yan, you answer."

Cheng Yan stepped forward in response, nodded slightly at Chen He, and said in a clear voice, ""Yi Li" is one of the 'Three Rituals', and there are [-] chapters in total, namely "Shi Guan Li" and "Shi Hun Li". , "Meeting the Scholars"..."

"..."Special Animal Feeding Ceremony", "Shao Lao Food Giving Ceremony", "You Siche"." Cheng Yan finished speaking in one breath, then continued after a pause, "The above is the entire chapter of "Rituals" Second-rate."

Chen He nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew his smile, looked at Gu Ming'an and said, "How? You can't answer it, how can others answer it? A gentleman's study should be based on the best of all families, and he should absorb all kinds of knowledge. To cultivate one's own knowledge. How can the imperial examination be the only criterion, if you take the exam, you can learn, if you don't take the exam, you don't study, if things go on like this, won't you become a fool who only knows how to take the exam?"

"What's more, "Yili" is the original scripture of etiquette, and "Book of Rites" is also invented based on this principle, but you only know "Book of Rites", but you don't know "Yili". It can be seen that you read and swallow dates without seeking deep understanding!"

The blood on Gu Mingan's face faded at this moment, and he lost face for a while, so he dared to refute again, so he could only lower his head silently, and obediently listened to Chen He's lesson.

Chen He cursed, and finally let out the depression in his chest. Seeing that it was getting late, he raised his hand as if feeling tired, and called everyone back to their seats: "Okay, it took so much time, This matter should also be exposed, let’s start class next.”

Everyone responded in unison, and opened their books one after another to prepare for class.

Seeing this, Gu Mingan naturally didn't dare to say anything, but after all, he was upset and couldn't blame Chen He, so he poured all his anger on Cheng Yan's head, staring at him with resentful eyes from time to time, and Cheng Yan was in a daze. If you haven't seen it, just listen to the class carefully, but it will make Gu Ming'an feel more depressed.
