The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1738 Whose Scheme

"It's been a long time for them to be aggrieved. It took six years from going to Mingde Academy to graduating from the Academy of Arts. The sense of urgency has become more and more serious after the college started to take the township examination." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Especially, these children are all children from our Zhuangzi, and they don't have any background. For their families, They are the hope of the family. At the beginning, they only hoped that their children could study, but after entering the liberal arts college, they naturally hoped for more things. With hope, there is a burden, and the burden of the family can be placed on them.”

Under such circumstances, can the students of the Faculty of Arts not study hard and seriously?Do they dare to relax themselves?
Maybe once or twice on weekdays, but now, the examination is over, and their studies in the academy are also over. This can be regarded as a complete relief in stages. As for how to go in the future, we have to wait for the examination It turned out that there were not many days that allowed them to completely relax, and it was only the last ten days or so.

"Has anyone from the restaurant been here?" Xuan Shijing asked.

He was also the one who told the shopkeeper of the restaurant yesterday that after paying the bill, he figured it out and came to the Xuan's house to get the money.

"Not yet. The people in the restaurant followed the students until late yesterday, and even slept later than the students. I'm afraid they won't wake up so early today, right? My subordinates estimate that they will have to wait for a while." Chang Le said.

"Well, that's true." Xuan Shijing laughed.

Yesterday, although I had a quarrel with the students in the restaurant and slept late, Xuan Shijing didn't drink much. As for the students' homes, they have already been notified, and the people in the restaurant sent the students to the inn , The money should also be paid by the restaurant, and it will be included in the bill at that time, and then just come to Xuan's house to get the money.

"You have been tossing around all night too?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"The subordinates were afraid of any accidents, so they watched them from the second floor of the restaurant." Chang Le said.

"You haven't had much rest, okay? I'll give you two days off, so you should also take a good rest, and go back to rest after dinner." Xuan Shijing said: "Anyway, the student union exams of the Faculty of Liberal Arts are over now, everyone should relax Just relax, I'll go to the academy by myself in a while."

"Yes." Chang Le replied.

Speaking of which, Chang Le has also passed the age at which he would not be tired no matter how much he stayed up late, so he worked hard all day yesterday, stayed up so late in the middle of the night, and had to wake up early in the morning, so he was indeed a little tired.

It was long past time for breakfast in the house, so Xuan Shijing went to the kitchen by himself, and the servants in the kitchen saluted Xuan Shijing when they saw him.

"Master, madam told my little one to leave some breakfast for you. Do you want to eat it directly, or do you want to eat something else? My little one will make it for you."

"Give me a bowl of noodle soup, don't be too oily." Xuan Shijing said.

His stomach is empty now, and he just wants to eat a bowl of noodles to his heart's content.

"Yes, master, wait a moment, the little one will start the stove." The servant in the kitchen responded.

Xuan Shijing was sitting at the table under the tree in the kitchen yard. Although it was spring, there was still a chill in the air, but Xuan Shijing's robe was thick, so he didn't feel anything.

The servants in the kitchen started the stove, heated up the pot, put a small piece of lard into the pot, and it melted quickly, then threw the onion and ginger cut on the chopping board into the pot, and then grabbed Take a large handful of chopped cabbage leaves, stir fry in a pot, add salt and sauce, stir well, add two scoops of water, after the water boils, below.

Cover the pot, cook for a while after the water boils, and when it is cooked, take out the bowl, and a bowl of hot noodle soup was brought to Xuan Shijing by the servants in the kitchen.

The noodles at this moment are all hand-rolled noodles, which are rushed into thin slices and then cut into strips with a knife. Therefore, the weight of a bowl is full.

Sitting in the yard, eating hot noodles, the whole body is warmed up, and the stomach is full, so it is comfortable.

After eating, he went to his yard, met Jinyang, and told Jinyang about what happened yesterday.

Jinyang still understands the matter of the test, and she also knows that it will take half a month to get the result of the test.

"Husband, is Di Renjie still looking into the matter of the Imperial College?" Jin Yang asked.

"The person who spread rumors behind the checkpoint." Xuan Shijing said: "Before the exam, Di Renjie and I went to the Imperial College, and after we came out of the Imperial College, I was thinking about what Master Wei said. But from what he said, and what he said, I think that the person who spread the rumors should not be the Imperial College, at least not Mr. Wei."

"In this way, it may be that someone wants to use this to provoke the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Arts? Originally, there was a competitive relationship between the Imperial Academy and the Academy of Arts. In this exam, both of them are looking forward to the results of their students. At this juncture , the two sides are like two piles of charcoal, and a little spark can be ignited."

"However, anyone who wants to stir up trouble must have a purpose, right? Spreading such rumors and putting the Imperial College and the Literary Academy in such a situation, what is the purpose? What good is it for those who spread rumors?" Xuan Shi Jing said.

"Rumors are spreading in Chang'an City, which must have an impact on the students of the Faculty of Arts and the supervising students of the Imperial College, and there are only a few days before the exam, so the rumors are so powerful." Jin Yang said: " Originally, this message should be counted together with the people from the Imperial College, right? But the Imperial College actually closed the door to prevent the students from going out, and isolated the students from the rumors. Master Wei’s move is probably not a slap in the face.”

"I actually think that the man's calculations were fulfilled." Xuan Shijing said: "The Guozijian closed the door, so that the supervisors could not appear in people's eyes. In fact, there is no problem with the health of the supervisors. In addition, the Guozijian Officials' non-reaction made this rumor possible."

"If the supervising students of the Imperial College and the students of the College of Liberal Arts all fail in the general examination, who will benefit?" Jin Yang asked.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "I don't know that either."

He really didn't expect that no matter whether it was the supervising students of the Imperial College or the students of the College of Liberal Arts who performed well or badly in the general examination, the imperial court would not lower the standard line of Jinshi and rank because of this, so there was no benefit in it.

Moreover, it is just a few comments, and the impact on the students is limited. If the impact is the greatest, it should be the academy in Dongshan County.

If it is true that rumors spread, the reputation of the Academy will be completely ruined.
