Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 662, let's make it clear.
Zou Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, then stood up in shame and anger, ready to leave immediately.

Cai Rong immediately looked at Mo Lixiao and saw that she seemed to want to keep Zou Jinsheng. He quickly stepped in front of Zou Jinsheng, put on a smile, and said in a humble tone, "Sir, please don't be angry. You may have misunderstood the dean's meaning. Why not let the dean finish speaking?"

Mo Lixiao stood up and said, "Mr. Zou, I invited you all the way from Wanzhou because I admire your scholarship and appreciate your character."

When I invited you to Beishan County, I didn't hide the situation of the school. You were willing to come then, so why are you saying these things now?

Zou Jinsheng was humiliated by the younger generation, and he was not without temper. It wasn't something that could be appeased with a few kind words. Besides, what kind of kind words were those that were just glossed over?
Therefore, Mo Li laughed and asked, but he had no intention of responding.

Mo Lixiao walked up to Zou Jinsheng with a serious expression. "Sir, why don't we speak the truth between us?"

"What does Dean Mo mean?" Zou Jinsheng had no choice but to ask.

"What exactly is your reason for not wanting women in Class A?" Mo Li said with a smile. "If you're still going to try to shut me up with politeness, then I've really misjudged you!"

Each sentence was more serious than the last.

Zou Jinsheng never expected things to turn out this way.

He thought that if he brought this up, at most Mo Lixiao would disagree, and that would be the end of it; they could negotiate again later.

Unexpectedly, the other party immediately started telling people to kick them out.

How long has he been in Beishan County? I still remember how pleading the other party had been.

Before he could think too much about it, Mo Lixiao bowed to him and asked, "Sir, please enlighten me."

Seeing this, Cai Rong also chimed in to help Mo Li, saying with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Zou, since you've brought this up, why not explain your intentions clearly, so that Dean Mo won't misunderstand you?"

Cai Rong could somewhat guess what Zou Jinsheng was thinking, and it was precisely because he guessed it that he found it laughable.

Unlike him, Mr. Zou was invited by Dean Mo with great respect. After his arrival, he received preferential treatment in all aspects of life, including food, clothing, and lodging, and even his apprentices benefited from it.

Unlike him back then, who came here after being swayed by Lord Meng. When he arrived, Beishan County had nothing; the so-called academy was just a small mud house with a small courtyard outside, where children ran around everywhere, and he was in charge of all those children by himself.

Although he received help from others, the effort he put in over the years was incomparable to that of Zou Jinsheng and his successors.

He looked at the children in the school as if they were his own.

Now that Zou Jinsheng wants his daughters to be inferior to his sons, Cai Rong is unwilling.

Zou Jinsheng originally didn't want to speak up. The other party had already embarrassed him so much, why should he consider their feelings anymore? He also had principles.

But the two men blocked his way, as if they wouldn't let him leave until they gave him a satisfactory explanation.

Dean Mo's eyes clearly said: I never expected someone like you. I am extremely disappointed in you.

“Dean Mo, I’m just a tutor you invited. Whether the students pass the exams or not, the money I receive won’t change,” Zou Jinsheng said. “If it weren’t for the students’ good, why would I offend you?”

With this prelude, Zou Jinsheng continued, "When children grow up, if boys and girls are kept together, they will have other thoughts. How can they concentrate on their studies?"

"Your thinking this way is indeed for the children's good. I was unaware of the gravity of the situation and was disrespectful to you. I apologize." Mo Li smiled and was about to perform a deep bow.

But how could Zou Jinsheng dare to accept her greeting? And Cai Rong, who had been watching from the side, wouldn't let her actually kneel down.

After all, he is the head of the academy, representing the face of Beishan County Academy.

"Miss Jun, quickly help the dean."

“Mr. Zou, I have a question that I would like to ask you to answer.” Mo Li smiled and pushed Xiao Jun aside, and continued to Zou Jinsheng: “Even if we follow your advice and separate boys and girls in Class A, won’t the children have a break? After class, won’t they run into the female students?”

Even if all the female students avoid the students who are going to take the imperial examinations, they still have to leave the school. Once they leave the school, do you expect all the women in Beishan County to avoid them?

If someone is destined to be unable to concentrate and is easily attracted to other things, it's because they lack self-discipline; how can you expect someone else to change that?
