Chapter 8 Nanping Newspaper(2/2)
"I'm so blind that I came to Zhang Ji's Tea House and it's okay if I don't want to drink the tea!"
A scholar jumped up and left without even paying the money.
Shopkeeper Zhang was so angry that his beard stood up. No wonder Du Ning was able to write a poem about Mingzhou. It turned out that he plagiarized someone else's inspiration. It was simply shameless!
That’s all, Du Ning actually despised the powerful!
The leader of Jieying Society is Wang Run, the son of the prefect of Nanping.
To offend Jieyingshe is to offend Wang Run.
If Wang Runruo said something, it would be a small matter for Zhang Ji Teahouse to be criticized by scholars, but it would be a big deal if it was ordered to close.
"We can no longer let Du Ning stay in the teahouse. This person has offended Jieyingshe, and I will drive him away no matter what!"
Shopkeeper Zhang made a decision in his heart.
Du Ning on the other side was expressionless, thinking that Jieyingshe's methods were simply despicable, and he actually used "Nanping Wenbao" to humiliate his own literary name.
This behavior is simply disgusting to the extreme.
Du Ning just noticed that the scholar who took the lead to leave Zhang Ji's Teahouse just now seemed to be a student of Jieying Society.
As soon as that person yelled, the others also saw the opportunity to make a fuss, just bought a cup of tea and left, looking very upright and upright.
Du Ning was simply shocked. Standing on the moral high ground, he committed the most despicable behavior. What kind of scholar is this!
Many scholars left angrily, but a small number of people sat here peacefully. They were students from poor families.
"Bah! Bad conduct, contempt for the powerful? When Jieyingshe bullied my poor students, their conduct was very good?"
"It took a lot of effort for me to produce a great talent from a poor family, but he was so humiliated by Jieyingshe in the Nanping Wenbao and slandered Mr. Du's literary name. Such despicable behavior can not be said to be disrespectful to the powerful!"
"Bah! Yesterday, Du Mingzhou won the championship and Wen Jieyingshe was defeated. Those guys had a grudge and used this method to attack. It is simply hateful!"
Du Ning was very pleased to hear these words. Although students from poor families were poor, there were still many literati who were not afraid of the powerful and dared to criticize them head-on.
"Du Ning!"
Shopkeeper Zhang came over in a fierce manner, pointed at Du Ning's nose and said: "You are arrogant and arrogant. You dare to despise the students of Jieying Society. Then I, Zhang Ji Teahouse, will not let you stay."
"Get lost! From now on, don't come to work in our teahouse again!"
Du Ning's expression changed, and for a moment he didn't realize why shopkeeper Zhang wanted to drive him away.
Then, Du Ning thought about it carefully.
If this group of scholars makes a fuss here today, I'm afraid shopkeeper Zhang won't be able to continue working here.
And because Wang Run is the son of a prefect, other places will definitely not dare to take Du Ning to work.
How cruel!
Du Ning felt even more disgusted with Jieyingshe. It was unworthy of its name and sanctimonious. It was simply a disgrace to the literati!
"Since Shopkeeper Zhang has taken the initiative to resign from me, I would like to ask Shopkeeper Zhang to settle my wages." Du Ning said, neither humble nor overbearing.
"You still have the nerve to ask me for wages?"
Shopkeeper Zhang pointed to several tables and said: "It's all because of you that those scholars left without paying. All these losses will be offset by your wages."
A scholar said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, you are going too far. What does those people have to do with Mr. Du if they don't pay? You don't ask them for money, but offset it with Mr. Du's wages. How can this make sense?"
"This matter has nothing to do with you, please don't say anything."
Shopkeeper Zhang glared at the man and continued to say to Du Ning: "From now on, I don't want to see you again, get out!"
"Since Shopkeeper Zhang is like this, I, Du, have nothing to say and will take my leave."
