Xia Tianxun, born into a merchant family in the Great Xi Dynasty, looks down on everyone and loves to argue with the teacher at school.
One day,
The teacher made a pointed remark: "...Some people ought to study hard. As the saying goes, 'If you don't understand the classics, you might as well return to farming.'"
Xia Tianxun turned to his classmate. "What's wrong with farming? Without farmers, would the teacher be eating shit every day?"
Teacher: "You! Such vulgar language!"
If Xia Tianxun didn't have some real talent, his mouth would have gotten him kicked out of the school long ago.
What's more, the Great Xi Dynasty prizes filial piety.
Xia Tianxun knew his father liked visiting brothels, so he followed his example, but instead he spent the family fortune buying the women their freedom, leaving his father nowhere to go!
Afterward, he dusted himself off, packed his bags, and ran home with Yue Cheng.
But in the countryside, the academy his mother had left behind was on the verge of closing. If no one took charge, the county government would repossess it before long.
Xia Tianxun shouted at the visitors, "Don't rush me! We still have a few months!"
This dilapidated academy was exactly where he was going to make his mark.
Several years later,
A renowned academy rose to prominence!
Short scene:
Only when he was with Yue Cheng did Xia Tianxun seem to turn back into an obedient young man.
Yue Cheng is carefree and skilled in martial arts. By day, he is Xia Tianxun's study companion; when they go out, he is his bodyguard; at home, he warms his bed.
Yue Cheng: "It's going to rain."
Xia Tianxun muttered, "What a nuisance. Let's hurry up."
Then he obediently let Yue Cheng put his rain cape on him.
Xia Tianxun overexerted himself clearing land and ended up with an aching back and sore waist.
Yue Cheng: "Go rest, or I won't sleep with you tonight."
Xia Tianxun pouted. "Oh."
Because Yue Cheng wasn't just anyone. He was the person Xia Tianxun loved most in the world.
