Chapter 171 Flexibility and Stubbornness (1/2)
A passerby sighed beside him, "Oh, why are you so stubborn? I think, the reason why the dean doesn't accept you is because you don't look like a person who comes to study, but like a person who is here to travel around. You might as well go back and wait a few days. Seeing the dean's anger fades, then change into a coarse cloth clothes, take the sword, come over and be sincere, and see if the dean will let go. If that doesn't work, the girl should go home."
Zhou Xia turned his head and said to the passerby, "Thank you uncle, but you don't have to persuade me anymore. I am such a person. I like to wear beautiful clothes and practice swordsmanship. Besides, before I came, I had a complete understanding of the affairs of the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple did not have rules that students must wear simple clothes or not carry weapons. In this case, I have the qualifications to enter the Taoist temple. President Wen Ling once said that Taoist follows nature. Since the Taoist temple advocates nature, what's wrong with me entering the hospital with my natural appearance?"
The passerby was speechless by her for a moment, and could only shake her head and smile bitterly. This girl is indeed very smart, but she is not flexible and will not compromise.
I can only say that this child is too young. After a few years, I will be able to get better. I know how to make it smooth and follow other people's wishes.
After a while, Zhou Xia's mother found her a cloth mat and asked her to kneel on it. Zhou Xia took it without hesitation and put it on.
Someone around him sarcastically said, "Look, he is worthy of being a noble lady. Even if he pretends to kneel here, he cannot kneel down. He has to find a mat and kneel comfortably."
Zhou Xia looked straight inside the Taoist temple without any movement by the comments beside him.
She has her flexible way and does not treat herself intentionally, but she also has her own principles and persistence.
In this way, she knelt not far from the gate of the Taoist temple for several hours until it was dark and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Zhou Xia stood up dejectedly and left with the company of her old mother and her guards.
The people in the Taoist temple thought she had finally given up, but unexpectedly, on the next day, Zhou Xia came again.
She brought a thick cushion directly over, walked to the gate of the yard, laid the cushion, and knelt down blankly.
"Next Zhou Xia, I will begging for the truth and ask Dean Wen Ling to give me a chance! If I can't pass, I will never bother me again!"
No one responded to her in the Taoist cemetery. Zhou Xia looked at the Taoist cemetery. From time to time, someone came in and out of the house. Occasionally, someone looked at her, but no one paid attention to her.
Everyone knows that Wen Ling doesn't want to accept her, so no one dares to speak.
Zhou Xia lowered her head and continued to kneel on the mat.
She kept kneeling like this, drinking water when she was thirsty, leaving occasionally, and then came back to kneel. She knelt until noon, and the old mother brought her food and ate it silently.
When the sun was strong, Zhou Xia moved to the shade of the tree, and when it rained, she asked her mother to put an umbrella for her. Zhou Xia felt that she was here to study, not to be a miserable person. She should let Wen Ling see sincerity, rather than deliberately making herself miserable and seeking sympathy.
In this way, Zhou Xia actually knelt on the third day.
There were always people around him talking coldly, and some people tried to tease her, but she just asked the guards to surround her and protected her, but she didn't say a word.
In the end, even the guards of the Taoist temple were a little surprised. No matter whether the little girl came to the Taoist temple with impure motives, the perseverance was very great.
What's more, from the conversation between Zhou Xia and the people around him, he vaguely felt that this girl did not seem to be what some people said at the beginning. Instead, she should have had a lot of understanding of the Taoist temple, and even learned some relevant knowledge through other channels before coming to study.
Looking at Zhou Xia'an's unyielding figure, he even gradually began to look forward to Wen Ling letting the little girl enter school.
However, Lulun himself finally arrived in Jingguo.
The reason why his subordinates came quickly was that they rushed over and rushed over without sleep. Naturally, he would not have worked so hard, and came to Jingguo in a carriage. He had already thought that Zhou Xia had already touched the bag and was about to go back home, but he happened to greet him and comfort him.
When he arrived in Jing State, he realized that things were not as easy as he thought.
Even though Zhou Xia was slandered, coldly treated and misunderstood by everyone, and even rejected by Wen Ling herself without hesitation, she did not give up at all. She almost planned to stay at the gate of this yard, eating, drinking and mattresses. Apart from kneeling for a long time, she seemed to be unable to see anything unusual.
Tao Cui also looked at Zhou Xia, who was kneeling at the entrance of the Taoist temple from afar. These days, she had been cautiously pleasing Lulun, but unfortunately there was no effect. Lulun was still pursuing Zhou Xia. But she was not in a hurry. As long as Lulun got Zhou Xia, she would make great contributions, which would be considered as being on the line of Lulun. There would be benefits at that time.
After watching for a while, Lulun's subordinates came to greet each other and reported on what happened in the past three days.
After listening to everyone's report, Lulun threw the question to Tao Cui: "What are your good ideas?"
In fact, Tao Cui was thinking about these things all the way, but now after thinking about it, he had an idea: "Young Master Lu, it seems that Zhou Xia will not give up until she was completely driven out of the Taoist temple."
Lulun looked impatient and snorted coldly: "What are your ideas? Tell me quickly!"
Tao Cui's thoughts changed again and again, and she showed a cruel smile: "I have a plan here that can make her reputation lose and she will never have any possibility of studying anymore. She can only be driven away by Wen Ling. If Mr. Lu wants to hear it..."
Lulun shouted: "If you tell me, just say it quickly! Don't be too slow! I don't care what reputation Zhou Xia has, I just need to get her!"
...
In the Taoist yard, in the study.
"well……"
Huang Si sat in Wen Ling's chair, putting her feet directly on the desk, and sighed while reading.
Wen Ling's position was occupied, but there were other chairs in the study, so he didn't sit there. He just flipped through the mathematical materials that Huang Si piled on the table. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand at all. Now that he heard Huang Si sigh, Wen Ling asked curiously:
"Why are you worried about the God of God?"
"Well, the p and np problems, as a kind of computing theory, are really a basis for computers. There are many problems surrounding this problem..." Huang Sigang said to himself halfway through, suddenly paused, and then said to Wen Ling: "It seems that someone is going to make trouble outside, you can deal with it."
Wen Ling didn't know why Huang Si suddenly mentioned the matter outside, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out and have a look."
He left the study and walked towards the gate of the Taoist temple. He didn't see anyone making trouble in the distance, but saw Zhou Xia still kneeling at the door.
During these three days, he did not completely ignore Zhou Xia's affairs, but instead asked someone to inquire about Zhou Xia's situation.
It is said that Zhou Xia was born in a wealthy country in Zhuang. She was extremely smart since childhood and learned everything. Therefore, she was extremely proud and often said that no one could teach her.
