章 47: Chapter 47
Talent, an absolute talent!
Old Master was one of Lord Count's trusted aides. In his eyes, those who passed the imperial examinations were not considered talents.
If one was smart, hardworking, and lucky, they could pass the imperial examinations.
True talents needed great wisdom. They needed to be able to see through the intricacies of things, just like Young Master Shen.
Only in this way would he not go down the wrong path, nor would he let his family walk into the abyss.
He did not expect God to not only give him a beautiful face, but also such a smart brain.
Old Master Shen decided that he must tell this matter to Lord Count. He must not let Young Master Shen's bright pearl be covered in dust.
When the class was over, Old Master Shen was reluctant to leave.
In the past, he could not wait to leave after class because teaching a group of idiots was a complete waste of time.
But there was no other way. With the Crown Prince here, he could not just find a random person to teach.
But the Crown Prince was especially stupid. Teaching him such brilliant wisdom was like playing the lute to a cow.
Only a beautiful gem like Shen Lang would be able to let every teacher enjoy the wonderful time of imparting knowledge to others.
…
After class, Crown Prince Jin Mucong looked at Shen Lang with jealousy and said, "Shen Lang, do you have any friends?"
"No!" Shen Lang said.
Jin Mucong said, "Then why do you think you don't have friends?"
Shen Lang said, "I am too handsome, too outstanding, and make everyone else look dim. Others are always jealous of me. How can I have friends?"
Crown Prince Jin Mucong could not help but clench his fists.
I don't know why, but I want to hit someone.
But thinking of the names of his enemies that Shen Lang had written on the wall yesterday, Crown Prince immediately became terrified and said angrily, "I don't want to sit with you."
Jin Mucong went to the back and sat down, leaving Shen Lang to sit alone in front.
The group of young people around them were pointing and whispering.
"Hmph, what is there to show off? If he is really that good, why doesn't he take the imperial examinations? "
"That's right, only those without ability can be a live-in son-in-law."
"He's just a gigolo who lives off women. What's so great about him?"
When Shen Lang heard these words, he couldn't help but feel helpless.
Looks like my magnanimous reputation hasn't spread yet. This group of nameless green leaves actually doesn't have any fear towards me.
This won't do!
…
Next up was arithmetic.
This was not a subject that was tested in the imperial examinations, and many academies did not teach this subject.
However, the academies of noble families were usually more pragmatic, and they would nurture professional talents generation by generation.
Therefore, arithmetic was not only a must in Xuan Wu Mansion, but it was also very important.
As one of the Count's advisors, Xu Wenzhao was in charge of the Count House's money and supplies. He was a very powerful steward.
Because he had been in power for a long time, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone.
Moreover, most people who were proficient in arithmetic didn't know how to conduct themselves well. Their personalities were quite unreasonable.
Xu Wenzhao was no exception.
As the best arithmetic scholar in Xuanwu, he naturally became the arithmetic teacher in the Count House.
When he walked into the classroom, he saw Shen Lang at first glance.
He couldn't help it. He was so handsome that he would stand out wherever he went.
Then, a trace of haze flashed in Xu Wenzhao's eyes.
The sharp Shen Lang immediately sensed it. He was extremely sharp and could sense that this Xu Wenzhao was hostile towards him. Moreover, it was a very deep hostility.
Why?
Was it because of jealousy?
No, Xu Wenzhao was already in his fifties. It was impossible for him to have any fantasies about Jin Mulan. For a mathematician like him, it was a problem for him to be hard at this age.
Moreover, Shen Lang had never interacted with him before, so there was no direct conflict of interest between them.
Shen Lang decided to continue to observe.
…
After Xu Wenzhao came in, he only looked at Shen Lang with vague hostility. After that, he didn't say anything, nor did he do anything to Shen Lang.
He began his lecture.
Shen Lang was drowsy because the content of Xu Wenzhao's lecture was too simple. It was completely at the level of a fifth-grader.
It was all about multiplication and division.
Therefore, Shen Lang was scared out of his wits.
"Shen Lang, stand up right now!" Suddenly, Xu Wenzhao, who was giving a lecture, shouted.
The voice was sudden, loud, and ear-piercing.
Shen Lang was still fine, but the other students who were drowsy were immediately awakened and sat on the ground.
Shen Lang stood up from his seat.
Xu Wenzhao took the ruler and walked in front of Shen Lang. He said coldly, "Stretch out your hand and hit ten feet."
Shen Lang could tell that Xu Wenzhao was not deliberately plotting to kill him. It was all because of the hatred and hostility in his heart.
Moreover, he had been in power in the Count House for a long time, which made him more and more arrogant. He did things directly and did not care about being tactful.
If he guessed correctly, it should be him blocking his way.
Shen Lang continued to analyze and speculate.
Was it possible that Xu Wenzhao was a relative of one of Wang Lian, Mo Ye, or Jin Shiying?
Shen Lang won out of the five and became the son-in-law of the Count House. He ruined Xu Wenzhao's plan and became a thorn in his side?
Could it be that the person who instigated Jin Mucong to beat up Shen Lang was also the person in front of Xu Wenzhao?
If it was, then his revenge was too simple and crude.
In fact, Xu Wenzhao was such a narrow-minded person. He was trained by the previous generation of Count, so he was very senior.
Moreover, he was very talented in arithmetic. For more than twenty years, he had kept all the accounts of the Count House in order. The Count and his wife were not good at accounting, so they relied on him more and more. They could only tolerate his unreasonable character.
This made Xu Wenzhao more and more arrogant.
Not to mention Shen Lang, even if it was Jin Mucong, he would beat him up if he wanted to.
"What are you spacing out for? Give me your hand! " Xu Wenzhao shouted at Shen Lang, "Rotten wood cannot be carved. Even if I beat you ten feet, it will make you wake up."
His words were righteous. Moreover, it was natural for a teacher to beat a student.
But there were more than a dozen people in the class and almost none of them were paying attention. Half of them even fell asleep.
You didn't hit them, but you specifically hit me. Isn't this revenge?
Shen Lang said, "Sir, I didn't sleep in class, nor did I whisper to each other to disturb the order. Why did you hit me?"
Xu Wenzhao said sternly, "You didn't pay attention in class. Don't you deserve to be hit?"
Shen Lang said, "But I already know everything you taught me. I don't need to pay attention!"
Hearing this, Xu Wenzhao was a little stunned.
He had been teaching at the Count House for many years. Even if the students didn't pay attention, they would still be respectful to him.
Xu Wenzhao hit and scolded whenever he wanted.
Not to mention ordinary students, even Crown Prince Jin Mucong had been beaten by him more than three to five times.
If Lord Count knew about it, he would only say one thing, "Well done, continue!"
Respecting the teacher was not just for show.
Now, Shen Lang, a mere son-in-law, dared to talk back?
"You still dare to talk back?" Xu Wenzhao's face was a little sinister. He said coldly, "This is not just ten feet. Hit thirty feet and then kneel in front of Sage Confucius for six hours!"
Shen Lang said, "Forgive me for not being able to comply!"
Suddenly, there were more than a dozen gazes of worship and complex emotions behind him.
Xu Wenzhao was the fiercest teacher. He didn't expect Shen Lang to be so fierce. He actually dared to talk back.
"Haha …" Xu Wenzhao was so angry that he laughed. He said angrily, "You really are stubborn, ignorant, and despicable. You are so arrogant and unscrupulous. Let's see how Lord Count will punish you. Just you wait!"
"Smack!"
Xu Wenzhao smashed his ruler on the table and broke it in half. Then, he directly left the classroom and went to complain to Lord Count.
Crown Prince Jin Mucong's face was a little pale. He stepped forward and said, "Shen Lang, you are in trouble. Your butt is going to be beaten up. At least thirty whips."
Shen Lang said, "Has Teacher Xu Wenzhao always been like this?"
Jin Mucong nodded helplessly. He himself had been beaten by Xu Wenzhao seven or eight times.
"He is the living account book of our Count House. A lot of money and accounts are in his head. Father relies on him a lot." Jin Mucong said, "He is very short-tempered. Many people in the house are afraid of him."
This was not surprising. People who were good at math usually had low emotional intelligence.
Shen Lang said, "Was he the one who encouraged you to beat me yesterday?"
Jin Mucong quickly shook his head and said, "I can't say. If I say it, I will be disloyal."
Three idiots, you don't have to say anymore.
Shen Lang asked, "Is he related to Wang Lian, Mo Ye, and Jin Shiying?"
Jin Mucong said, "He is cousin Wang Lian's uncle. He is also my mother's distant relative."
Wang Lian, the young High Scholar, the registrar of Xuanwu City's prisons.
Now the truth was out.
It was Shen Lang who blocked Xu Wenzhao's path. His nephew, Wang Lian, was supposed to become the son-in-law of the Count House. In the end, it was snatched away by Shen Lang. No wonder he treated Shen Lang as a thorn in his flesh.
Shen Lang said, "This person is so narrow-minded. He will seek revenge for the smallest grievance."
Suddenly, Jin Mucong looked at Shen Lang from the corner of his eyes.
You think you have the right to say that? Who is narrow-minded between the two of you? Don't you know?
However, this fat otaku was still very loyal. He quickly gave Shen Lang an idea.
"Shen Lang, quickly go and plead with my mother. My father is the most inflexible person. He doesn't like people who have to respect their teachers. As long as Mr. Xu complains about you, he will definitely whip you. Otherwise, you can go and hide for a while. You can hide in my sister's barracks. "Jin Mucong said with lingering fear," Thirty whips. It is enough to make you lie in bed for half a month. "
What a joke. Why would he need to plead with his mother-in-law for such a small matter? She will look down on him.
Being looked down on by his mother-in-law is a small matter. Being looked down on by his wife is a big deal. If a woman looks down on you, even if you sleep with her, she will only pretend to be angry.
