Chapter 145 Do You Have Any Regrets?
"The sir is here, everyone sit down!" someone said in a low voice, and everyone hurried back to their seats.
Chen Kang frowned and said, "Since you are here to attend classes, you should study hard and don't always think of using those inferior methods."
The group was a little confused by what Chen Kang said, but Shen Shuyi felt that Chen Kang looked in her direction when he said this.
But it doesn’t matter. So what if it’s not mainstream?
In this world, the winner is the king and the loser is the villain.
All she had to do was have a clear conscience.
Chen Kang used to abide by the rules and talk about morality, but what about now? He still doesn't even have a seat in the officialdom, let alone the right to speak.
Chen Kang said nothing more and started the class.
Shen Shuyi listened patiently for a while, but found it superficial and boring, so he took out the "Zuo Zhuan" he had been reading recently and started reading it attentively.
Chen Kang glanced in her direction a few times, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but in the end he resisted the urge to say anything more.
When it was time for the break, Shen Meiru came over again.
"Second sister, what are you reading so seriously? Could it be some kind of storybook?"
Shen Meiru was indeed curious. She was sitting diagonally behind Shen Shuyi, and she had seen Shen Shuyi lying motionless and looking at something intently.
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing the curiosity and inquiry in her eyes, he said softly: "It's not a storybook, just some miscellaneous books. I just read it casually because I think it's interesting."
Shen Meiru was still curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances, so Shen Shuyi just let her do it.
Perhaps because her biological mother was once a maidservant of Qin Xuerong, Shen Meiru has always been inexplicably cautious and careful, alert and prudent.
In fact, she looks good. Although she is not the kind of bright and gorgeous girl, she is also a pretty girl from a delicate and pretty family.
"Do you think your second sister is like you? She just likes to read those love stories!" Shen Qinghuan said from the side. She asked the maid to bring some snacks and distributed them to several people.
Shen Meiru's face flushed again in an instant: "Fourth sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Shen Shuyi helped her out in a gentle voice: "Storybooks are not all about those things. Moreover, even if they are about love, they also contain human relations, filial piety, etiquette, and social customs. In the end, you will gain something."
Shen Meiru immediately seemed to have gained support, and said to Shen Qinghuan: "Look, Second Sister said so!"
Shen Qinghuan responded: "Yes, yes, you are right."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Meiru's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and she subconsciously said, "Huh? Second sister, are you reading Zuo Zhuan?"
"Well, I had nothing to do, so I took a look." Shen Shuyi did not deny it.
At this time, a figure appeared beside the few people. Chen Kang stopped, reached out and picked up the book in front of Shen Shuyi. Seeing that she was reading Zuo Zhuan, his brows frowned even tighter, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"It's not advisable for you to be so ambitious at such a young age!" Chen Kang said in a deep voice.
Shen Shuyi could clearly feel Chen Kang's rejection and disgust towards her. She stood up and said to Chen Kang in a gentle voice, "Sir, you are right."
Chen Kang put the book back, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Whether in life or in study, you must be down-to-earth, study diligently and act prudently, guard against arrogance and impatience, and seek truth from facts."
Shen Shuyi felt that Chen Kang might have something else to say, but since he didn't say it clearly, Shen Shuyi didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that she remained silent, Chen Kang's voice became a little stern: "Shen Shuyi! As far as I know, you were just beginning to learn before you went to the Jade Buddha Temple for rest. Now you are back home for classes but you don't know how to respect your teachers. You don't listen carefully in class, but read these obscure contents on your own? Do you think you are superior and great!"
As he spoke, the ruler in Chen Kang's hand fell heavily on Shen Shuyi's desk.
There was a sound of "Snap!", which startled everyone.
Shen Meiru stood aside without saying a word and took a few steps back. Shen Qinghuan wanted to help explain a few words, but didn't know how.
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a gentle voice: "Teacher, you teach me and answer my questions, and I naturally respect you. However, in the Shen family's school, the students are different in gender and age. Everyone learns and understands differently. Shouldn't you also consider teaching students in accordance with their aptitude?"
Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and every word he spoke was calm and firm.
She looked directly at Chen Kang and said again, "Moreover, although I have been in the Jade Buddha Temple for many years, I have not neglected my studies. Sir, you have never asked or understood what I have learned, but now you have made a rash conclusion. Isn't it suspected of being preconceived and arbitrary?"
Probably he didn't expect her to ask back like this. Chen Kang stared at her with his beard raised a little in anger. His slightly dark face turned red and his eyes were full of anger.
"You are eloquent and sharp-tongued! You are so young, but you have learned so much. What will you be able to do in the future? Do you really think you can make further progress by relying on these clever tricks?" Chen Kang said angrily.
Shen Shuyi curled his lips, his almond eyes were cold: "What you taught me is true, but Shuyi believes that what a person can achieve in life depends not only on his talent and character, but also on luck and opportunity. As the saying goes, fate is destiny. You are full of knowledge and talent, but you have not been able to use what you have learned and felt for the rest of us. I wonder if you have any regrets in your heart for being confined to a corner of the Shen family?"
Shen Shuyi's words not only made Chen Kang very angry, but also frightened the students in both rooms so much that they dared not say a word.
Chen Kang has always been strict and respected by the Shen family. They have basically been scolded by him. Even a spoiled guy like Shen Jinglin has gradually calmed down after being taught a few lessons.
Therefore, when they saw Shen Shuyi retorting without any courtesy, everyone in the group was more interested in watching the show, wanting to see how she would end it.
Chen Kang felt a pain in his heart. It was indeed a pity that he had so much knowledge but had no place to display it.
But now that this ignorant girl pointed it out to him, Chen Kang even felt a little exasperated.
He sneered, "Shen Shuyi! What do you mean by that? Are you mocking me for not being able to become a general or a prime minister? I am not worthy of being your teacher?"
Shen Shuyi's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was clear and smooth: "Sir, you misunderstood. Shuyi was just speaking the truth, and he had no other intentions."
"Well! What a good way to stick to the facts! You are so young, yet you are already talking nonsense, taking shortcuts, and aiming too high! I taught you with good intentions, but you were stubborn and unrepentant, and instead you talked back and ridiculed me! It's really bad!"
Chen Kang's eyes were full of anger, and he suddenly understood why Qin Xuerong had taken so much pains to ask him to teach her more!
He never disliked people with stupid talents, but he hated people like Shen Shuyi who were sweet-talkers and opportunists the most!
He has no real talent or knowledge, but is vain, snobbish and extremely good at scheming!
"Shen Shuyi, stretch out your hand! You have been disrespectful to your teachers and disobeyed their teachings. In the classroom, you hold books and act pretentiously to satisfy your vanity. Today, I will punish you with ten strokes of the ruler. I hope you will learn from it!" Chen Kang took out the ruler and spoke in a deep voice.
