i turned into a monster

Chapter 59 Han Chuang Studying Hard (Second Watch, Thank You Leader!)
"Teng Ming, the younger generation of the Teng family, pay respects to the old ancestor!!"

The contemporary Sheng Lingong yelled in surprise, and then kowtowed.

The big white dog said calmly: "Kowtow is unnecessary, let me ask you, are you doing business with a group of booksellers recently?"

"Ah? You, how do you know?"

Sheng Lingong said in surprise, and then felt a little guilty, because he has been restless because of this matter recently.

"The Biography of Bai Ze has been sold for two taels of silver a copy, how do you think I know?" Bai Ze said lightly.

"What?! Two taels of silver!"

Sheng Lingong's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "This is impossible! They promised me that they would only sell two hundred coins at most!"

Bai Ze didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

So, Sheng Lingong gradually calmed down, and he also realized the seriousness of the problem, and said guiltily: "Ancestor, I was wrong. I was greedy for petty gains and was used by those profiteers... I won't do it again in the future."

Bai Ze looked into each other's eyes, knew that the other party was sincerely repentant, and didn't want to continue to make things difficult, and said, "You are not Qingqing's direct descendants, you should be grateful for Qingqing's glory, and protect her reputation. This is not an example in this case, otherwise, I will let the royal family take back the title."

"The ancestors taught it well!"

Sheng Lingong hurriedly kowtowed, sincerely and fearfully.

"You are the descendants of Teng Zijing, and you worship me. As long as you have righteous thoughts in your heart, I will ensure that your Teng family will prosper for generations. If you go on an evil path... all blessings will disappear. You can do it yourself."

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he walked back to the painting step by step, the light gradually faded, and everything returned to calm.

"what!!"

The next moment, Sheng Lingong opened his eyes. He was sleepy and said to himself, "Is everything just a dream?"

But the next moment, he was terrified.

Because he was shocked to find that he was actually wearing pajamas, kneeling alone in the ancestral hall, with those three portraits in front of him!

"This this……"

He took a deep breath and kowtowed deeply.

"Thank you for the old ancestor's advice. The younger generation will start setting up family rules tomorrow. Yan Zuxun, the descendants of the Teng family will definitely follow the right path!"

His voice echoed in the ancestral hall, extremely firm.

……

Standing in the dark street outside the Teng family's old house, Bai Ze slowly opened his eyes.

"I hope you will do what you say."

Bai Ze said softly, then turned around, and gradually merged into the night.

For the descendants of the Teng family, after all, he had to be more tolerant, thinking that the other party had made an unintentional mistake and wanted to repent, so he did not punish him.

He admitted that he was selfish.

Who has no selfishness?

No matter if it is a human or a monster, if it is really completely selfless, then it becomes... not a saint, but a monster.

……

A few days later, Emperor Hui issued a new decree.

No one is allowed to drive up the price of books, even if there is a market premium, it cannot exceed [-]% of the normal price.

In this way, booksellers still have profit margins, and most ordinary people can afford books.

……

Baize Academy.

In a blink of an eye, it was the annual winter test.

The so-called winter exam is the end-of-year assessment. Baize Academy uses this assessment to test the students' one-year learning achievements.

After three days of examinations and two days of grading, all the test scores of the students came out, and the masters gathered in a bamboo building.

"Well, the students have made great progress in their studies this year, and the overall level has improved a bit compared to last year. It seems that the teaching level of our Baize Academy is steadily improving. Here, I would like to thank all my colleagues."

The Great Confucian Han Shuo bowed to his masters and said.

"The dean is polite. As teachers, teaching and educating people is our duty. What's more, it is our honor to be able to teach in Baize Academy founded by Wensheng."

"What Mr. Ding said is very true. We are all gathered here to promote the belief of Wen Sheng. A little hard work is nothing."

"Scholar, it should be so."

"Me too."

The masters all responded modestly. Some even spoke dialects, but it didn’t matter. Speaking dialects doesn’t mean lack of talent, it’s just a habit. The motto of Baize Academy is: Let a hundred flowers bloom and embrace everything.

"Dean, now I have a question."

A middle-aged female teacher stood up and said awkwardly: "In order to encourage students to focus on their studies, after the winter exam every year, the academy will redistribute the dormitories according to the students' performance. The students are arranged in the lower dormitories, and now it's time to allocate dormitories..."

An old man with a white beard said: "Now that the test results are out, they can be divided according to the list. I don't know why Mr. Luo is troubled?"

"I'm afraid...it's because of Li Zijin." Dean Han Shuo was quick-witted and guessed the truth almost instantly, and then he had a headache.

Li Zijin!
Hearing this name, everyone's expressions changed slightly. They all looked at each other and smiled wryly.

The middle-aged female teacher also smiled wryly and said: "As expected of the dean, I guessed it right away. Although this Li Zijin is diligent and studious, his background is really poor. His grades in all subjects are... the bottom of the academy."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

Dean Han Shuo sighed, then rubbed his temples in pain. This matter is really difficult.

Normally, the students with the lowest grades are placed directly in the lower dormitory. Everything is done according to the rules, which is reasonable and there is nothing to tangle with.

But this Li Zijin... was recommended by that person after all.

If Li Zijin is arranged in the lower house, that person's face will be dishonored. Although with that person's heart, he probably won't care about them, but hitting an elder in the face is a bit disgraceful after all.

In particular, that elder is not an ordinary elder, he is Wen Sheng's grandpa and a symbol of Baize Academy, he can be said to be the senior with the highest seniority and seniority in the academy!
"Hey, this matter is difficult..."

"No solution, no solution at all."

"Hey, I can comprehend [-]% to [-]% of Wen Sheng's "Annotations to the Classics and Meanings of Former Sages". This matter... I am at a loss."

A group of old scholars and great writers sighed and said that this question was too difficult and they couldn't do it.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Dean Han Shuo said in a deep voice.

The door opened, and a beautiful young girl came in. She was wearing a flowing white gown, with a slender and well-proportioned figure and a slightly bookish look.

"Hehe, Zijin, why are you here?"

Han Shuo suddenly showed a kind smile. In fact, in the academy, he took good care of this student, and the same was true of other masters.

There are two reasons.

First, she was recommended by Bai Ze.

The second is... her grades are too bad!
The teacher may not pay too much attention to the poor students, but a poor student with a very hard background, the teacher can't pay attention to it.

He even wanted to start a small fire severely.

Because if you can't teach well, it's not easy to do business!
"Principal, Vice-principal, ladies and gentlemen, I heard all your conversations just now." Li Zijin said.

"Cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Immediately, there was a lot of coughing in the bamboo building.

In the end, Han Shuo endured everything by himself. He looked at Li Zijin with some embarrassment, "Well, did you hear it by accident, or did you do it on purpose?"

"on purpose."

Li Zijin said generously.

Immediately, the masters all lowered their heads, put their hands between their knees, and rubbed their hands together, feeling guilty.

"Hehe, Zijin, actually...we have already decided to let you stay in Shangshe, which will benefit your academic progress."

"Ah yes yes yes, you stay in Shangshe!"

"The environment of Shangshe is good, and there are enough charcoal fires in winter, so it won't be cold."

"Our Baize Academy is on the mountain. It will snow in winter, but it's cold. I just said that I can't freeze you to death."

The masters expressed their opinions one after another, and they should not offend the second generation of the big boss.

"No need, teachers."

Li Zijin shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but compared to special care, I hope to be treated fairly and justly. If I break the rules because of me, I will feel ashamed. And..."

She paused, her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head and said, "I'm stupid, and I've already disgraced my husband. I can't embarrass him anymore."

After speaking, she bowed to everyone and walked out of the room.

He closed the door smoothly.

It didn't take long before her voice came again, and it seemed that her low voice had been swept away and became lively and confident.

"Just do whatever you want! Don't worry, everyone, next winter, I will definitely enter the upper house in a dignified way!"

"My Li Zijin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, hehehe."

The cheerful footsteps quickly went away.

The masters were all stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, and all showed gratified smiles.

"Ruzi can be taught."

……

In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived at Baize Academy.

It's very cold, and the inkstone is hard.

The girl's fingers were hard to bend and stretch, but she still didn't slack off.

At that time, flames rose from the extinguished charcoal fire and turned into a pocket fire dragon hovering beside, driving away the chill.

The girl was moved to tears, so she continued to study hard.

I only wish...to live up to expectations.
