Chapter 401 Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang, and Zhu Pengyun are three clowns who act like supporting beams
The arrival of Mr. Zhou has sparked a craze for "Zhou studies".
The students of Yuelu Academy are not only studious, but also very bold.
As soon as Mr. Zhou arrived at the academy, he tried every means to get close to him.
It seems that everyone is eager to be noticed by Lord Zhou and want to become his apprentice.
Sun Shan did the same. He followed Lord Zhou in front and behind, trying to make Lord Zhou pay attention to him.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Lord Zhou completely ignored him and didn't even know his name.
It’s always “this student, this student” that is called out.
Sun Shan introduced himself, but Lord Zhou turned around and forgot about it.
The only consolation is that it was not only Sun Shan who received this "cold treatment", but other students as well.
Sun Shan observed carefully and found that apart from Chen Jin, it seemed that Lord Zhou could not call out anyone's name.
Mr. Zhou first lectured, then assigned homework, then answered the homework, then lectured again, and finally assigned homework. This cycle was completed in class.
When the bell for lectures rang, Mr. Zhou arrived on time. When the bell for lectures rang, Mr. Zhou left the class on time.
There is not a single extra second spent in the academy. We come on time and leave on time.
If you are not active in get out of class, there is something wrong with your brain.
There is nothing wrong with Mr. Zhou's brain, so he leaves get out of class very punctually.
It does not give students any chance to get close, just like "walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on you".
Lord Zhou not only behaved like this in Yuelu Academy, but also in Changsha Prefecture School. It seems that there is no distinction between the big and the small, and it is very fair.
Sun Shan actively tried every possible way to get close to him from the beginning, but in the end he found that this method was of no use at all.
It’s not Sun Shan’s problem, it’s Mr. Zhou’s problem.
Sun Shan found that he really had no intention of accepting any disciples.
There are many talented students in the academy who have no teacher, and Lord Zhou looks down on them all.
Some students saw that they couldn't stop Lord Zhou in the academy, so they prepared to stop him at Zhou's house.
The result was a failure.
The Zhou family declared that they would not engage in any social activities because they were in mourning. After Mr. Zhou returned home from the academy, he never went out again.
The students found that it was more difficult to meet Mr. Zhou at Zhou's house than at the academy, and gradually they stopped blocking the door.
Qian Yingyang and Zhu Pengyun also once "winked" at Mr. Zhou like Sun Shan.
Their results were the same as those of all students, one-sided output and they never received any feedback.
In the end, the two of them gave up at the same time and no longer dreamed of becoming Master Zhou's apprentices.
Qian Yingyang said dejectedly: "Ashan, I think Master Zhou is not going to accept any disciples. He treats all students equally. I have never seen him say more than a few words to any student."
Zhu Pengyun thought so too. He then glanced at the dormitory next to Sun Shan and whispered, "Ashan, the person I admire most now is Brother Yu. Oh, Brother Yu is an extraordinary person. He can treat Mr. Zhou with a normal attitude. I admire him very much."
Sun Shan also admired him.
Yu Nanwang, who has been a stay-at-home for thousands of years, still chooses to be a stay-at-home. He has no intention of paying attention to Mr. Zhou and goes to class, eats, and sleeps as he pleases.
It was as if what was happening outside had nothing to do with him at all.
Sun Shan really appreciated and respected this kind of character.
Yu Nanwang responded calmly and composedly, making Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang and Zhu Pengyun look like clowns.
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Hey, we should learn from Brother Yu and treat it with a normal attitude. Lord Zhou, I think he really has no intention of accepting a disciple, so we should stop jumping up and down."
Thinking of the flattery and courtesy they had shown these days, the three of them couldn't help but blush, looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
After Sun Shan came to terms with it, he returned to his normal life, and when facing Mr. Zhou's lectures again, he became more patient and serious.
Except for the fact that he refused to accept apprentices, Mr. Zhou behaved very much like a teacher in other aspects.
His lectures can be questioned or agreed with, and as long as they make sense, Mr. Zhou will encourage them.
If what you say is unreasonable, Mr. Zhou will not scold you, but will patiently give you advice.
Sun Shan benefited a lot from listening to the lecture, especially in terms of understanding the scriptures.
They are all great people. What they say is very informative, and students can learn a lot of knowledge.
The bell for the end of the lecture rang again that day, and Mr. Zhou left in a hurry as usual, without giving the students any chance to show his courtesy.
Sun Shan thought that Lord Zhou was quite skilled and as light as a swallow. It seemed that he paid great attention to self-cultivation.
Zhu Pengyun put his arm around Sun Shan's shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go to the dining hall to eat today. You want to eat pork elbow in sauce? I'll treat you."
Pork elbow with sauce
The pork elbow in sauce is a big dish and it’s not cheap.
Sun Shan asked in confusion: "Pengyun, why are you inviting us to dinner for no reason? What's the good news?"
Qian Yingyang covered his mouth, chuckled, and said jokingly, "I received the hand-sewn clothes from my fiancée this morning, so I'm happy."
He even deliberately lengthened the word "啦".
Zhu Pengyun is a big, strong man who looks like a rough man, but he is actually a big boy. He blushed and said, "Nonsense. I just want to eat the pork elbow in sauce, and I can't finish it, so I invite everyone to eat together."
A big pork elbow is indeed very big, but it is not true that you cannot finish it.
Zhu Pengyun couldn't help but feel happy when he received the gift from his fiancee. When he was happy, he liked to treat others and make more people happy.
Sun Shan said cheerfully: "Pengyun, hehe, you are so lucky to have such a gentle and virtuous fiancée."
Zhu Pengyun's red face turned even redder. She stammered and didn't talk to Sun Shan and the others, and hurried to the kitchen.
Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang would definitely follow. If someone invites you to dinner, you would miss it if you don’t eat.
What's more, the pork elbow in sauce is a famous dish in Changsha. The meat is tender and delicious, fat but not greasy. You will want to eat it again after eating it.
When they arrived at the kitchen, Zhu Pengyun ordered three pork elbows, one for each of them, so that Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang could enjoy the meal to their heart's content.
Everyone ate and chatted.
Suddenly, a noise was heard from the inner hall of the kitchen, followed by panicked footsteps and shouting.
The students in the dining hall looked towards the inner hall in shock. The sound came from the dining hall reserved for the teacher.
Sun Shan and the other two looked at each other and saw the fear on each other's faces.
The noise in the inner hall became more and more chaotic and louder.
Suddenly someone came out, and Sun Shan looked carefully and found that it was Senior Brother Chen Jin.
Chen Jin shouted in panic: "Hurry up and get a doctor over here."
After hearing this shout, the students who were watching followed Chen Jin and ran out.
Qian Yingyang asked nervously: "What happened inside? Could it be that the teacher is sick?"
Chen Jin said he wanted to invite a doctor, which meant someone was sick. The inner hall was the dining hall for the teachers in the academy.
Sun Shan also thought so, thinking that a certain scholar was sick and needed a doctor.
Judging from Brother Chen Jin’s panicked look, it seemed that the situation inside was very serious.
Sun Shan was just wondering which teacher was sick when he was pulled into the inner hall by Zhu Pengyun and Qian Yingyang.
The two of them peered inside.
Qian Yingyang asked the classmate next to him in a low voice: "What happened in there?"
There was a dense crowd of people, and all you could hear were shouting, coughing, and footsteps.
I wanted to see who was in trouble, but I couldn't see anything.
The classmate next to me whispered, "It's like someone swallowed something and couldn't spit it out."
