Chapter 15 Silver Notes

Chapter 15 Banknote()

When he said this, several people around him said yes. These people were familiar with each other. They were all children of Hangzhou city and had some background in their families. Naturally, they looked down on these people who came from the countryside. And the person who spoke was the son of Hangzhou Tongpan.

, his name is Xia Ziqi, and he is a prominent figure among this group of people.

Pan Yu didn't know what these people were thinking. She didn't realize it on ordinary days. Now when she heard them talking about Xu Xian, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart: You guys who usually stay in prostitution dare to claim to be romantic, but you can call yourself a genius just by reciting a few crooked poems. Xu Xian's

How can you evaluate courage, wisdom and talent?

But he just smiled and said: "Brother Xia, what you said is wrong. Individuals have different preferences, so don't force it."

Even a person like Xia Ziqi, who is good at observing words and expressions, could not guess the thoughts behind Pan Yu's smile, but he also knew that Pan Yu never said anything bad about people behind others, and he thought that it was in line with Pan Yu's thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

.

The bell rang, and it was time to teach. The students entered the hall one after another. Xu Xian turned around and smiled at Pan Yu. Their seats were also adjacent to each other.

Mr. Fuzi on the stage looks to be only about forty years old, but he is talking about the first classic of Confucianism, "The Analects of Confucius". Although this book is the core of Confucianism, none of you here have read it since childhood. Just pick one and stand up.

Can memorize it word for word.

But he is worthy of being a lecturer in official education. If there was still disdain at first, but with the cadence of the lecture and reading, all kinds of profound Confucian principles were slowly revealed. After listening to it, everyone felt like they were awakening from a dream, and had a sudden enlightenment.

, the principles that I have mastered before are simply worthless.

Xu Xian also secretly lamented that although it was ancient times, the level of education was really not bad. But from the perspective of Confucianism, those experts and professors in the previous life were really nothing compared to this gentleman on the stage.

There were countless people who criticized Confucianism and Confucius in previous lives, but most of them had never even read the Analects of Confucius, let alone mastered the Confucian classics profoundly. However, there were too many fake Confucians in the world, and in the Qing Dynasty, they were even more cynical.

The true principles of Confucianism have long since disappeared, so it is inevitable that Lu Xun’s benevolence and righteousness cannibalize people.

Although as a time traveler, it is impossible to completely agree with the views of the ancients, it also made Xu Xian put away his contempt and truly pay attention to these knowledge. Not for fame, but because these benevolence and righteousness coincided with his thoughts.

After listening to the class, Xu Xian still felt a little unfinished. He sighed to himself that if the teachers in the previous life had this level, why would they worry about education issues? But then he thought again, this Jintian College is equivalent to gathering the power of a state (province).

Teaching dozens of people in one year is really hard to compare with any famous school.

Just when Xu Xian was packing his things and preparing to leave, a voice said: "Brother Xu, please stay."

Xu Xian turned around and saw an elegant young man waving to him. Although he had vaguely seen him at the banquet yesterday, Xu Xian was too focused on eating and drinking and didn't take it seriously. He couldn't help but wonder: "Who are you?"

Xia Ziqi felt slightly unhappy, but still smiled and said: "Xia Ziqi."

Xu Xian held up his hands and said directly, "Brother Xia, I don't know if I have any advice."

"Xu Xian, this is the son of Xia Tongpan of Hangzhou Prefecture, Mr. Xia!" Wang An reminded from the side.

"Xia Tongpan is my father, but Brother Xu can just call me Ziqi." Xia Ziqi was still respectful, but the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.

Xu Xian was slightly startled and said: "Ziqi, what's the matter? Tell me quickly. I'm in a hurry to eat!"

Pan Yu had been paying attention here, and almost laughed when he heard this, thinking: You're welcome.

A hint of displeasure suddenly flashed across Xia Ziqi's face, but he still managed to say: "Please give me a chance to speak. When things get done, I'll invite Brother Xu to Tingyue Tower for a drink." Although Xu Xian was new to Tingyue Tower, he knew about Tingyue Tower.

Daming is the most famous restaurant and brothel in Hangzhou, a good place to drink wine.

Xu Xian smiled slightly and said, "That's good. I don't want to eat the best, but the most expensive." Xia Ziqi felt contempt in his heart, but Pan Yu's smile became even stronger.

The two came to a clean place. Xia Ziqi immediately made a long bow and said: "Brother Xu, please give me a helping hand in this matter." He imagined that Xu Xian would come to help him before the bow could continue, but

His expectations were quickly dashed."

Xu Xian touched his chin and looked at Xia Ziqi in front of him and said, "Ziqi, hurry up and talk about it!"

Xia Ziqi felt a knot in his heart, and stood up with a forced smile, "Mingyu and I have been close friends since childhood. I originally wanted to enter the official school, and talked with him every day by candlelight. However, God did not follow my wishes, and we were not assigned a room this time.

When we get together, I would like to change rooms with Brother Xu, and I will definitely pay for it in the future, and I hope Brother Xu will agree."

Although Tongpan was a powerful official in Hangzhou, he was still inferior compared to the famous Pan family. Xia Ziqi wanted to get on Pan Yu's boat, which would naturally help him in his career in the future. But he did not expect to let a countryman

The boy took advantage. Of course he wouldn't bother with such a small thing, so he just wanted to follow his wish from Xu Xian.

He originally thought that with his status, as long as he was respectful, Xu Xian would not be flattered, and then he would give a small profit and keep the matter clean and settled.

Xia Ziqi didn't know what Xu Xian was thinking. After all, Xu Xian was a man of two generations. How could he not see Xia Ziqi's arrogance? After all, he also came from modern society, which values ​​equality among individuals, although in reality there is still a big gap.

, but the concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially in an environment like school, the better the family situation, the more they have to hide their family background and mingle with the masses. If what happens to my father today and what happens to my grandfather tomorrow, you just have to wait.

Go ahead and play with yourself!

Xu Xian sighed and said, "I am very attracted to Mingyu as a person. It seems that I can't afford the table in Tingyue Tower, so I'd better go back to the canteen honestly!" After saying this, he shook his head with regret and turned around.

Just want to leave.

"Brother Xu, please stay. This is just a small gift and not respectful. Please think about it, brother Xu." Xia Ziqi said and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

When Xu Xian saw that it was a three hundred tael banknote, he couldn't help sighing about the gap between the rich and the poor. My sister raised me up, and I probably didn't even spend this amount in more than ten years. This young man just wanted to change his berth.

Take it out.

Not to mention the sigh in Xu Xian's heart. Xia Ziqi thought that Xu Xian was hesitant, and even more contemptuous in his heart. He gritted his teeth and took out the two hundred taels of silver notes. Five hundred taels of silver made even him feel heartache. But for the sake of a bright future,

You still have to spend money.

Xu Xian looked at the five hundred taels of silver notes in front of him with great interest and said with a smile: "Ziqi is so courageous. These five hundred taels of silver show your deep loyalty. But tell me how much money Mingyu spent on the table yesterday."

Xia Ziqi was confused. He didn't know how Xu Xian got involved in this. But now that he had something to ask for, he could only answer patiently: "Probably no less than a hundred taels!"

Xu Xian clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Compared with gold, everyone knows that the golden finger that turns stone into gold is better. Mingyu is so rich, wouldn't it be more fun for me to eat and drink with him?"

Xia Ziqi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had seen many shameless people, but he had never seen such a shameless person so confidently. He resisted the urge to curse and saw Xu Xian disappear in front of him. The banknote in his hand had long been crumpled into a ball.

When he came to his senses, he let out a mournful cry: "My banknote."

Xu Xian was walking while thinking about the content of lunch. As soon as he turned the corner, a slender figure stood there. Xu Xian looked up and saw Pan Yu looking at him with a smile.

"Mingyu, let's go eat! I heard that the master here is the best chef in Shu!" There is a special dining place in the academy.

Pan Yu pulled Xu Xian and walked straight out. "Let's go out to eat!"

Xu Xian didn't know why and said: "You go to restaurants every day, you are not afraid of going bankrupt!"

Pan Yu pretended to sigh: "How can I be worthy of Brother Hanwen's five hundred taels of silver? If I don't let you get it back, how can I bear it?"

Xu Xian suddenly turned red, "You, you eavesdropped?"

Pan Yu pointed at her ears and smiled: "Have you forgotten? I know martial arts. Within a hundred steps, mosquitoes and flies can be distinguished." Although this is true, if she hadn't been concentrating on her luck, how would she have heard it?

of clarity.

Xu Xian scratched his head for a while, "I'm just kidding, let's go back to eat!"

"Hey, I, Pan Yu, am only worth these five hundred taels of silver. If Xia Ziqi had been willing to pay more, I'm afraid I would have been sold by someone by now!" Pan Yu said "very sad".

Xu Xian also knew that she was really joking, so he also joked, "How can I get Zhu Yingtai so much that I can take advantage of Ma Wencai in vain?"

Pan Yu didn't know why and said: "Zhu Yingtai, who is Ma Wen?"

Xu Xian patted his head. This classic love story hadn't happened yet! "Let's tell it to you tonight. I guarantee you will burst into tears after listening to it."
