Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 517 What is the use of these sage books?
None of the Wei royal family had expected this.

I was studying at Bailu Academy to gain experience, but I was beaten by a scholar from the academy!

He was beaten openly at the door of the study, in front of so many people.

Moreover, this person was shouting while beating me—"My name is Xiao Mochi, remember this! I am your father!"

What’s even more outrageous is that after the beating, this person even spat!
This royal descendant of the Wei Kingdom was so angry that he wanted to fight to the death with the opponent, but he was no match for Xiao Mochi at all, so he was beaten up twice by Xiao Mochi.

Afterwards, this royal descendant of the Wei Kingdom reported the incident to the Guijutang.

He just didn't believe that Bailu Academy, a holy place for Confucian learning, could not educate a scholar.

When a deacon from the Rules Hall heard the other party's complaint, he was stunned for a moment. In Bailu Academy, such fights rarely happened, but it did happen.

However, this kind of hooliganism of beating someone in public, introducing oneself while beating, and even spitting at the person after the beating has indeed occurred for the first time.

Beating someone in public is indeed a very bad thing, but the other party is a direct disciple of the chief priest, and they do not have the authority to punish him directly.

Not to mention that the reason why this royal child was beaten was because he spread rumors about someone else's good friend.

So Guizitang reported the matter to Xiao Mochen’s teacher.

Whether it was right or wrong, and how to punish them, was left to the chief priest to decide personally.

"Tell me, what's going on between you two?"

Jia Junjie clapped his hands lightly with the ruler and looked at the two of them with an angry look on his face.

For Jia Junjie, a highly respected Confucian priest, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

In the past, my disciples never fought with each other at every turn.

A gentleman speaks but does not use his hands.

This sentence is the consensus of scholars.

So when Guizitang reported this to him, Jia Junjie even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

A disciple I personally accepted was beaten by a prince of Wei?

And he beat him up in public, and after that he spat at him in front of everyone?
This is so outrageous.

Similarly, Lu Xiaoliu did not recover either.

When the other party treated him sarcastically, although Lu Xiaoliu was a little angry, he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, Mo Chi, who was standing next to him, rushed forward and kicked the other person!
"Sir, this matter is all my problem and has nothing to do with Mo Chi."

Lu Xiaoliu said to the chief priest Jia Junjie, taking the responsibility on himself.

"What? Did you instruct Mo Chi to beat someone up?" Jia Junjie laughed angrily.

"It was me who ordered it"

"Sir, Mo Chi just couldn't stand what that person did, so he couldn't help himself and took action."

When Lu Xiaoliu was halfway through his speech, Xiao Mochen interrupted him.

"Okay, okay, you two, reflect on your mistakes for three days! Rewrite the Analects for me ten times! Not a single typographical error allowed! No use of spiritual power allowed!"

Jia Junjie took the ruler and slapped them hard on the palms several times.

Xiao Mochen and Lu Xiaoliu didn't dare to say anything and could only say "yes".

After Xiao Mochi and Lu Xiaoliu left, Jia Junjie stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh. Xiao Mochi and Lu Xiaoliu were both the young people that Jia Junjie was most proud of.

But their personalities.
The two men returned to the courtyard, reflected on their mistakes behind closed doors, and copied scriptures together as punishment.

In fact, a person who reflects on his mistakes behind closed doors and is forced to copy scriptures is living a boring life that can be considered a punishment.

But it’s different when there are two people. They can chat and drink tea together, and it doesn’t count as a punishment at all.

"Mo Chi, you were indeed too impulsive before." Lu Xiaoliu said to Xiao Mo Chi.

"Impulsive? Not bad." Xiao Mochi smiled. "My friend was insulted. If I just stood by and watched, what would be the use of all the sage books I learned?"

Lu Xiaoliu's smile widened: "Could it be that these sage books you learned are used for fighting?"

Xiao Mochi raised his head and glanced at him, then smiled: "Could it be that those sage books you studied were used to swallow your anger?"

Listening to Xiao Mochen's words, Lu Xiaoliu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.

After a long while, Lu Xiaoliu finally spoke slowly: "Actually, what they said is all true. My mother is indeed a prostitute."

"Um"

Xiao Mochen nodded without saying anything more.

In fact, Xiao Mochen had already guessed it.

The rumor that Lu Xiaoliu's mother was a prostitute had been circulating for several days. If it was false, Lu Xiaoliu would have confronted her long ago.

But because what those people said was true, Lu Xiaoliu had no way to refute it.

Moreover, if Lu Xiaoliu made a big deal about these things, what was originally just a rumor would later on have more people investigating it and more people verifying it.

By then, his mother's reputation will be even worse.

Furthermore, the other party could only spread this one thing and did not dare to say too much. This was mainly because Lu Xiaoliu was Mr. Jia’s direct disciple and the other party had to be wary of this identity.

Lu Xiaoliu continued, without hiding anything from his classmates and friends: "My mother used to live in Fengxue Tower in the imperial capital of Wei State, and then she fell in love with a poor scholar.

My mother used the money she earned from entertaining clients to support that scholar's studies. The scholar once said that after he passed the exam, she would come to redeem him.

In the end, that scholar did pass the imperial examination and got the third place in the imperial examination, but he married the daughter of the prime minister of the time. As for my mother, she was not even mentioned.

That scholar abandoned my mother.

But my mother was already pregnant at that time.

My mother didn't cry or make a fuss. She just burned the letters she had exchanged with the scholar and then gave birth to me.

The mother of Fengyu Tower was a nice person. She let my mother redeem herself at half the price, and she could also go to Fengyu Tower regularly to play the piano and dance to earn some living expenses.

As I grew up, I also acquired some talents and knowledge.

However, in the Wei State, descendants of the lower third class were not allowed to take part in the imperial examinations.

My mother wanted to take me to some small countries, some of which generally do not have such restrictions.

But my mother didn’t expect that I would pass the White Deer Academy exam.”

Lu Xiaoliu didn't say anything else, but paused here.

After a long time, Xiao Mochi slowly said: "Your mother is really amazing."
