Chapter 16 A bunch of idiots

The group of girls who came in later didn't know the little girl's background, but her words obviously frightened the students, and they behaved more restrainedly.

The protest started only after the children had all gone into the dormitory.

"Mr. Song is so shameless, why don't you get out of the academy?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Get out of Lishan Academy!"

"Get out of Lishan Academy!"

Someone took the lead and the people behind him started to make a fuss.

Song Yanjin frowned and whispered to Baizhu beside him, "Go and close the door."

Today she will teach these ignorant children a good lesson.

Baizhu received the order and crouched down to get out of the crowd. The lady said that there must be a way.

The door was closed, and the students who were watching outside were so frustrated that they couldn't bear to watch. The smart ones sat on the necks of their own servants and tilted their heads over the courtyard wall to watch.

They followed suit in groups, and soon the walls of the kindergarten were filled with heads.

After lunch, Ye Shiran found it very lively here. What happened?

Unable to resist the temptation, they moved the staircase they had used to skip school and climbed up. Wow! The students attacked Master Song.

What do you mean, get out of the academy? What did Mr. Song do wrong?

There were not many female teachers in the academy, and he didn't know much else. He and his elder brother had met Teacher Xiao Song several times. Teacher Xiao Song had a cold personality and seemed to be a tough woman with personality.

Another person climbed up the stairs, and Ye Shiran asked, "Brother, why did they ask Master Song to get out of the academy?"

Zhou Musheng looked down on him, "Why didn't you come here just now? Didn't you hear about what happened yesterday?"

Seeing his silly look, Zhou Musheng continued, "Master Song and the canteen cook did something improper in the attic of the headmaster. The teachers in the academy saw it. Master Ge reported it to the headmaster, but later on, no one knew how to mediate. Master Song was not kicked out of the academy."

Hearing Ye Shiran's anger, he realized that he and his elder brother had rescued Master Song by the lake yesterday. When he returned to the academy, he was busy with his classes. Seeing the nervous look on Master Song's maid's face, he guessed that this was what happened.

Ye Shiran was so angry that he slapped the mud tiles on the wall and shouted inside, "A bunch of idiots, Master Song was wronged."

The explanation caused dissatisfaction among the students. The classmate recognized that it was Ye Shiran, "Brother Ye, what you said is wrong. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices for unworthy people. She doesn't deserve it."

Unable to climb over the wall and unable to get in, Ye Shiran was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

Song Yanjin looked up at Ye Shiran and smiled to reassure him. Then he walked to the corridor of the school and looked at the boys and girls below who all had hatred on their faces and were not eager to learn, humble and motivated.

"You just listen to the rain, but don't hear the truth. You come to attack. Is this what you think a good teacher taught you?"

The Master would not teach this way, but the rumor says so. How could something that didn't happen spread like wildfire? The students were very confident and stretched their necks to see how Master Song would explain it.

Song Yanjin continued, "The dean has already made a punishment yesterday. Master Ge was suspended from his post to reflect on himself. If I had done anything wrong, I would not be standing in the lecture hall today. And you came to attack me without proving the facts. You are really mean."

There was a commotion below. Song Yan pointed at the student who was leading the group and was wearing coarse linen clothes. "You pass by the entrance of the kindergarten class every day. You must be from the County Examination Institute next door, right?"

Without waiting for the young man to speak, Song Yanjin scolded him, "The Autumn Examination will be held in a few months, but you still have the energy to lead the way in making trouble. How can you compare with those young masters from aristocratic families if you don't study hard? They have connections, and if they fail the imperial examination, they may even become officials before you."

"Mr. Fang is a man of high moral character, how could he have taught a fool like you? If you are a fool like you, you will be a disaster to the people and make the people suffer. You will be a corrupt official who takes advantage of others. Look at your hateful faces. Forget about serving the court. You will be tripped up by a kick at the gate of the provincial examination."

"When the imperial court selects people for employment, they choose those with good character and good fortune. Judging from what you did today, you are not even worthy of being a corrupt official. They want people who are obedient and flattering. You, on the other hand, are impulsive, brainless, and arrogant."

Song Yanjin did not give the girl a chance to refute. He cursed her as soon as possible and pointed his finger at the female student. "Why do you want to go to school? I think your family wants you to learn to distinguish right from wrong, to be knowledgeable and reasonable. How can we expect you to have a bright future if you follow the crowd and make trouble? The concubines and sons in your family can be more patient than you."

"In my opinion, Miss Yaoji, who teaches music and dance, is a role model for you. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes, behaves like a prostitute, and seduces men."

"You are so soft-hearted that you just believe whatever others say. You don't have your own opinions. If you get married, what kind of husband can treat you well?"

"A bunch of idiots."

Song Yanjin was so thirsty from the scolding.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment after being scolded. The delicate female students' faces were already covered with tears. They were wrong. They shouldn't have known the facts and followed the trend to attack Master Song.

In the past, they were still willing to listen to Mr. Song's lectures, but now it's all because of these young and inexperienced people.

The heads hanging on the wall also sank down in inferiority. Master Song was right. A real man should be upright and honest. How could he make a scene just because of a little rumor? It was really wrong.

Ye Shiran climbed on the top of the wall and was deep in thought. He usually didn't like to do his homework and even liked to skip school. His elder brother had caught him a few times but he didn't seem to feel any guilt. At most, he would just beat and scold him. But today, after listening to Master Song's words, he felt that he was really a jerk for wasting his time.

Stewards Liu and Zhang, who had rushed over from outside the courtyard upon hearing the news, stopped and listened for a long time. Every word that Master Song cursed was heart-wrenching, but he was telling the truth.

Manager Liu smiled with relief and said, "Old Song, your niece is no ordinary girl. She will definitely have a bright future!"

Bai Zhu followed the young lady's signal to open the gate, and all the troublemakers inside went out in disgrace.

The lunch break was almost over, and the children in the dormitory gathered at the door to watch Master Song show off his power. Those older brothers and sisters were really embarrassed and had grown up in vain.

Song Yanjin turned and walked into the school, picked up the teapot and drank it directly, he was really thirsty.

After everyone left, two managers came in.

Although Manager Zhang felt that what Master Song said made sense, it was the first time in the academy that students had caused trouble on such a large scale, and since it concerned Master Song, he had no choice but to give him a few warnings.

Manager Liu interrupted, "Well done, Master Song. You should continue to teach well. With a good teacher like you in the academy, our Lishan Academy will definitely surpass the Imperial Academy."

Hearing Uncle Liu's praise, Song Yanjin choked on his tea. "Uncle Liu, the Imperial College is run by the royal family. All the students are taught by famous teachers. The top three students on the annual gold list are from the Imperial College."

"My dear father, many people are ambitious. Every year, many students pass the imperial examinations in Lishan Academy." Manager Zhang said generously.

Song Yanjin was too lazy to argue with him. She hadn't even had lunch yet. She exchanged a few polite words with the two of them and then drove them away in a veiled way.

Manager Liu tactfully took Manager Zhang away.

Baizhu brought the food and Song Yanjin was no longer picky about the food and ate it with hearty mouthfuls.

The children were very obedient during the afternoon class. I guess they really took the scolding I gave them at noon to heart.

During the second activity class, Song Yanjin was playing the game of Drop the Handkerchief with the children when Manager Liu came to visit again at the gate of the courtyard.

The task of organizing the children to play games was given to Bai Zhu, and Song Yanjin got up and went over.

Manager Liu was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling, "Song girl, the princess wants to see you in the attic of the headmaster."
