The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 771
[Chapter 771 Ignore]
Fang Xiu thought so, picked up his storybook again, continued to read, and ate ice cream while reading.
The boy next to him was a little confused when he saw this scene.
But thinking of his young master’s consistent style, he felt relieved again.
The young master always does things like this.
In this case, what else is there to say.
Therefore, he bowed and left the courtyard.
Act as if nothing happened.
Outside the Fang Mansion.
Thousands of scholars stood, hoping to attract the attention of Xin’anhou.
However, they stood there for nearly a stick of incense.
No one discovered them.
There was even a door, and when it was opened, it was as if they hadn’t been seen.
He glanced at them with a very indifferent expression and closed the door calmly.
This scene once made the scholars become somewhat doubtful about life.
Some people even begin to wonder if they themselves are invisible?
It was as if the people in Xin’an Houfu had not seen them!
The most painful thing is to be ignored by others, completely ignored.
That’s not because he was pretending to be calm.
But he didn’t take them seriously at all.
At this moment, these scholars hoped that the boys of Fang Mansion, the notorious bastards of Xin’an Hou, would lead the dogs and come out with sticks to beat them.
That would at least show that Marquis Xin’an knew about this and saw them, which would be much better than completely ignoring them now.
Unfortunately
it didn’t.
They stood and waited for nearly an incense stick, but nothing happened.
Except for the closed door, no servants from the Fang Mansion even came out to look at them, and no one spoke or chased them away.
Somehow, they didn’t even hear the barking of the shepherd dogs raised by Xin’an. Every one of
these
scholars began to doubt their life.
Not only them, but also the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He also began to wonder, did the Marquis of Xin’an know that there were so many scholars standing outside?
These scholars are the pillars of the future imperial court and the guarantee of all people!
At this moment, everyone is gathered here in Fang Mansion. Isn’t it possible that Marquis Xin’an is not touched at all?
Just pretend you didn’t see it?
The
right minister of the Ministry of Rites did not accept it at all.
To be precise, they had no way of understanding how Xin’an Hou could turn a blind eye like this?
Could it be that Xin’an Hou really has no heart and lungs?
In his opinion, if he is a person with heart and lungs, no matter what, he will not pretend not to see this scene and have no reaction at all!
Therefore, they chose to wait and continue to wait.
In their eyes, as long as they wait long enough.
Just wait long enough.
There will come a time when Xin’anhou can’t stand it anymore.
There is always one thing, Xin’anhou will stand up. Even if there is no compromise, even if there is no concession, he cannot just ignore these scholars.
However, it turned out that they thought too much.
He stood there, silently, waiting for nearly an hour.
The sun is almost setting, almost setting in the west.
Xin’an Hou actually pretended not to see it.
A more accurate way of putting it would be that everything in the entire Fang Mansion was as usual, without any changes.
It’s as if these people don’t exist!
This is a bit much.
Not to mention thousands of scholars, thousands of scholars, and thousands of future pillars of the imperial court.
Even with so many refugees standing in front of the mansion, it would be impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye, right?
What on earth was the Marquis of Xin’an thinking? Could it be that he really didn’t know that so many scholars were standing outside?
Finally, someone couldn’t hold it any longer, stood up, and said loudly: “The student has something unclear, and I would like to ask Mr. Xin’an for advice. I hope Mr. Xin’an can meet the student!”
When he shouted these words, his voice was a bit hoarse.
There was nothing I could do. After standing for such a long time, my mouth was already dry and it was difficult to say a word.
These scholars all lack physical exercise. In addition to reading and writing, their physical strength is probably not as good as that of a child.
To be able to stand here for such a long time with the Analects of Confucius in hand is indeed enough to embarrass them.
Some people could no longer hold on and sat on the ground.
What is etiquette, justice and shame, what is clean and unclean, if a person is tired, there is nothing he can do about it.
Although, at the beginning, they were prepared to kneel in front of the palace for several days and nights.
But it’s one thing to be prepared and another to actually take action.
Many things are not as described in the book!
The fluttering sentence in the book made me kneel outside the Yangxin Hall for three days and three nights.
It’s just a few words, and some people may be shocked after reading it.
I feel like my blood is boiling.
But after this shock, after this excitement, what next?
Are you kneeling too?
Come on!
You are useless as a scholar, so you should study with peace of mind.
However, these scholars have not had this experience and do not understand it.
At this moment, when they were exhausted both physically and mentally, they had such feelings.
It turns out that standing is so tiring.
Might as well kneel down!
What they don’t know is that they may be even more tired if they kneel down.
Not to mention standing or kneeling, even sitting motionless is an extremely tiring thing.
But they didn’t know
that they heard someone shouting, and the scholars finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that someone has called out, it’s impossible for Marquis Xin’an, Mr. Xiao Ge, and Mr. Fang to continue pretending that they didn’t see or hear anything, right?
They know that Xin’anhou is different from others.
But with this status, even if you don’t care about reputation and don’t respect other people, there should always be a response, right?
All they need is this response, nothing more.
However, the facts proved again.
They are wrong.
I don’t know how long I waited, but there was no response from Fang Mansion.
Until the scholar who shouted opened his mouth and was about to shout again.
The door of Fang Mansion slowly opened.
When the scholars saw this scene, they were naturally extremely excited.
Such a long wait.
Is Xinan Hou finally coming forward?
Have you finally waited for Xin’an?
If we can really wait until Xin’anhou, we will have to stand for such a long time.
It seems, probably, maybe, should, not that bad.
Also acceptable.
The door opened slowly, and the scholars became more and more expectant, hoping to see Xin Anhou behind the door.
At the same time, many scholars stood up from the ground and silently raised the Analects in their hands, hoping to add some momentum to themselves.
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites felt the same way when he saw this scene.
Everyone is holding their breath and concentrating.
Xin’an Hou, let us have a good talk!
