Chapter 315 Qingfeng Academy
Aunt Zhuang didn't sit for long this time. She congratulated Mrs. Li and took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter back. Well, why have you been living in their house?"

Aunt Zhuang glanced at her second granddaughter and seemed to see her thoughts, she smiled and said, "I don't know very well, I just heard that your cousin's younger brother had this child when he was not married, maybe it is I'm afraid that his current wife will mind, so I will keep him in foster care with your cousin."

Zhuang Erya heard the words and said with pity: "Young Master Jiang's life experience is really pitiful."

"Then now that he has passed the examination as a scholar, will his father take him back?" Zhuang Sanya asked curiously again, but she knew that her cousin's younger brother was now an official in the capital.

"It's hard to say. After all these years, the child has been living at your cousin's house, and he has a very good relationship with your cousin's family. He would never want to go back to his father's side." Aunt Zhuang guessed Said.

"That's not certain. The uncle of the Jiang family is an official in the capital. Mr. Jiang is so good at reading, he will definitely go on an official career in the future. With the help of his own father, it will be smoother." Zhuang San Ya said again.

Aunt Zhuang glanced at her, and said lightly, "It's all other people's family affairs, what are you so concerned about?"

Zhuang Sanya's cheeks flushed immediately, and she stammered and stopped talking.

Grandma Zhuang took a look at her daughter, and immediately helped her explain: "Mother, aren't these all relatives of our own family? If he passes the exam, if he doesn't ask Shanqing for advice, maybe he can have some secrets for the exam."

When it comes to her eldest grandson, Aunt Zhuang is so worried. She is now in her twenties. She has been a scholar for three or four years, but she failed even once. It is so difficult to become a scholar!

"It's better to ask Shanqing for advice than to ask his cousin, he is a serious judge." Aunt Zhuang sighed after she finished speaking, and then muttered dissatisfiedly: "How good is Qingfeng Academy, our Brother Yuan is here I haven’t seen much progress after studying in the school for several years, and it was said earlier that this year’s case must come from their academy, but look, it’s actually a boy from the countryside who won the top spot.”

Zhuang Erya and Zhuang Sanya were also a little embarrassed when they thought about the bragging in front of their cousin not long ago. They praised Qingfeng Academy to the sky, but they didn't expect that there was a great god in their house, hanging and beating all the students in the academy.

The dealer is comparing Jiang Shanqing with the students of Qingfeng Academy, and on the table of the head of Qingfeng Academy, there are already two test papers for this scholar's exam.They are desk and No.2 respectively.Naturally, Jiang Shanqing was the first person in the case, and the second person was also an acquaintance, Wang Tingze who was highly respected by the sisters of the Zhuang family.

"Shan Zhang, what do you think of the first article of this session?" Mr. Zhang from Qingfeng Academy asked Lu Shan in front of him.

Lu Zhizhang stroked his gray goatee, and said slowly: "The style of writing is old and spicy, it's really impossible for a 12-year-old boy to write it. Tingze deserves to lose this time."

Mr. Zhang nodded and said: "I also think this boy is extraordinary, and his future is bound to be limitless, so I want to specially recruit him into the academy. You know, Master Shan, although our academy mainly recruits younger students, But my academy also recruits students above the level of scholar, but most of those with good aptitude go to Lushan Academy. In our state capital, most of the scholars who pass the examination every year come from Lushan Academy, so most of the students only know about Lushan Academy, but not My Qingfeng Academy, if my Qingfeng Academy wants to make a name for itself, it must produce a brilliant student. I thought Wang Tingze could do it, but it turned out that Jiang Shanqing came out. Now it seems that Wang Tingze is still worse than this student. "

Lu Zhizhang nodded in agreement, continued stroking his beard and said, "Then use all means to recruit him. I heard that this son's family background is only average. You can give him a big reward."

But Mr. Zhang just smiled and said: "I read this sub-article and got a glimpse of his character. It shouldn't be possible to impress him with money alone. I thought, if he can pass the qiuwei high school entrance examination two years later, I don't know if he will be able to do so." Let Master Xiao Lu accept him as a student." Master Xiao Lu is Lu Xun, the third master of the Lu family who is now the magistrate in Yangzhou.

"Yunzhi has always had a high vision, and I can't make the decision for him in this matter. You can let the Jiang family boy know first, it's up to him to succeed." Lu Zhizhang didn't agree, nor refused, and replied ambiguously. .If that Jiang Shanqing was really talented and won the Juren at the age of 14, his nephew would not mind having such a promising student.

Jiang Shanqing didn't know that he was already being missed by others at this moment. He accompanied Mrs. Li to meet a guest for a day, and was looked at by others like a mascot, and his smiling face was stiff. It is easy for the guests to go back before he can rest for a while.

Jiang Shanqing was sitting on the stone steps in the yard drinking red bean soup, while Li Meier was washing fresh cherries not far away.The cherries were sent by Aunt Zhuang early in the morning, she said that she planted them on her farm, and she gave a whole basket. Seeing that the cherries were in season, Mrs. Jiang asked Li Meier and the others to wash and share them.

Brother Kang lay down opposite Li Meier, drooling at the bright red cherries, and said, "Sister, there are so many cherries, we won't be able to finish them all in a while, why don't we make some cherry cakes."

Li Meier was a little absent-minded, as if she didn't hear her brother's words, she was still washing the cherries with her head down.

"Sister! Did you hear what I said?" Kang Ge'er saw that his sister didn't respond, so he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

Li Meier just came back to her senses, looked at him sullenly and said, "I'm not deaf, I heard it, I want to eat cherry cake, right? I'll make it for you this afternoon." Thinking that this brother really has no eyesight, Didn't you see that she was thinking about something?

"Sister, what's the matter with you today? I didn't offend you for being so hot-tempered." Brother Kang said a little aggrieved.

Seeing her younger brother's appearance, Li Meier felt a little guilty, coughed lightly and said, "Have you practiced calligraphy today? Dad said that he will send you to the school this month. Don't let us fail to keep up with the progress." Shame on the family."

When Brother Kang heard this, his face became bitter, and he sighed and went back to the house to practice calligraphy.

Only Jiang Shanqing and Li Meier were left in the yard, so Jiang Shanqing came over and asked, "What's on your mind? I've felt that you're not happy since this morning."
