Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 46

Before dawn, the students of Yanying Academy were waiting outside the gate. This year was the annual exam, so they could not enter the school casually.

The students were outside in small groups, talking in low voices, discussing today's exam questions.

Liu Kang walked up to Fan Ning and said in a low voice, "Those guys are the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove!"

Fan Ning followed Liu Kang's gaze, and saw seven middle school students standing on the far right. Middle school students are equivalent to third and fourth grade students. Judging from their appearance, they should be third grade students.

These seven Zhongshe students formed a small group by themselves, all of them were well-dressed and had extraordinary auras. Everyone looked rather arrogant, and their attitude towards other Zhongshe students was a little bit better.

But for the students in the lower house, they don't care at all.

Among the seven was a student with a tall hat, tall and thin, half a head taller than Fanning, very handsome, with particularly bright eyes.

I saw him wearing a fine-quality blue satin uniform with a leather belt around his waist and a piece of fine fur at his neck. He has a very good temperament and is gentle and elegant, making him look like a noble tree, and he is very eye-catching among the seven people. .

"Who is that man in the tall hat?" Fan Ningnu asked.

Liu Kang said angrily, "Have you forgotten? We saw him in the Kistler Pavilion."

Fan Ning remembered, as if he had seen the two of them at the entrance of the Kistler Pavilion, but Fan Ning didn't take it seriously and forgot.

"What's his name Xu?"

Liu Kang shook his head, "It seems that you really didn't take it seriously. His name is Xu Ji. He lives in Wuxian County. He is 11 years old this year. Three years ago, he was also admitted to Yanying Academy as No.1. From the second year on, he Never got second."

"So powerful, what is he good at?" Fan Ning asked with a curious smile.

"Excellent in all aspects. I heard that he could write poetry at the age of four and prose at the age of six. His calligraphy is especially good. His grandfather was the chief professor of Pingjiang Prefecture School, and his father was a Jinshi. He is now an official in the imperial court. It can be said that he has a long history of family education."

Fan Ning nodded secretly, this is the real child prodigy.

At this time, the bell of Yanying Academy rang, and the students entered the academy one by one, and the end-of-year exam finally kicked off.

One hundred and four students sat in three examination rooms and started the examination at the same time. The seats basically remained the same, and Fan Ning was still next to Zhu Pei.

Dean Liu brought more than a dozen professors and teaching assistants as invigilators.

At this time, two teaching assistants carried a large wooden board into the classroom, lifted the covering cloth on it, and the exam questions finally appeared.

There was an exclamation in the classroom.

Almost all the students in the lower dormitory were stunned.

The test questions are fine for middle school students, but very severe for lower school students.

Compose a poem titled "Winter Solstice".

Make a door couplet.

The first three chapters of Mo's "Analects of Confucius", and the first three chapters of "Mencius".

Moment any five of the "Book of Songs"

The first five chapters of Mo Te Ching
Mo "Zhuangzi.autumn water

You are required to hand in the papers at the same time, that is, the exam ends at [-] pm.

The amount of questions is large, the content is tricky, and more importantly, many students have never studied the content, such as "The Book of Songs", which is not started until the second year of enrollment.

There are also extracurricular readings such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuang Zi", which are still too demanding for lower grade students.

Fan Ning couldn't be more comfortable with these topics, but his weakness lies in calligraphy, Fan Ning couldn't help but sneak a look at Ju Pei.

I saw Zhu Pei staring at the exam questions in a daze, obviously she also encountered a problem.

In one morning, Fan Ning finished writing other exam content except poetry.

At this time, the lunch break bell rang. They had no lunch break today, and even had to eat in the examination room. After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and several teaching assistants came to deliver meals.

Professor Yan, the invigilator, clapped his hands, "Everyone, stop writing first, and continue after eating!"

Everyone put the test papers and pens and ink into the drawer one after another, and each went up to bring a plate of meals.

Fanning took two servings and pushed one to Jupe, "Eat it! Today's food is good."

In Fan Ning's opinion, today's food is not bad, braised lion's head in braised sauce, a plate of braised eggplant, a bowl of vegetable soup, and two meat buns.

Zhu Pei shook his head, "I don't want to eat, you can take it!

She put the braised lion's head on Fanning's plate.

Fanning looked at her and felt that she was very depressed.

"Is there any question you can't do?"

After a while, her eyes were a little red, and she pouted and said, "I haven't read the Tao Te Ching and Zhuang Zi."

"This... is a small problem!"

Fan Ning quickly looked around and saw that several invigilators were busy sharing meals, so he quickly handed his two papers to Zhu Pei.

Jupe was taken aback, isn't this cheating?

Fan Ning lowered his voice and said, "Read it a few times while eating and write it down."

Zhu Pei was trembling with nervousness. Although she was unruly and bold, she had never cheated in an exam. However, she still mustered up the courage to read Fan Ningmo's "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuang Zi" carefully.

Fan Ning picked up chopsticks and munched on the lion's head. It was cooked really well. This is his favorite dish. Usually there is only one dish in the dining hall, but today he had two at once, which made him feast on it.

When he finished his meal, he looked at Zhu Pei again, only to see her eating snacks with a smile on her face.

"Remember everything?"

Zhu Pei returned the paper to him, and said triumphantly, "If you don't get the first place this time, don't blame me! But you asked for it."

"I remember!"

Fan Ning chuckled, "It seems that I made a mistake in "Autumn Waters"."

"you!"

Zhu Pei was furious and kicked him hard, "You bastard..."

Seeing that her face was flushed with anger, Fan Ning smiled and said, "Just kidding, I am confident this time, you can't compare to me in poetry and couplets."

Zhu Pei snorted, "Then let's see!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
After the exam, the students all gathered in the playground, and no one wanted to leave.

"Fanning, I'm finished!"

As soon as Fan Ning walked to the playground, Liu Kang stepped forward and said with a mournful face: "The Book of Songs, the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi have not been silent. I will definitely be persuaded to retreat and go home!"

The grades in the annual exam were too poor, and according to the usual practice, he would be dismissed and sent home. Fan Ning looked at the others, everyone was pale, and it seemed that they did not do well in the exam.

Fan Ning comforted him and said: "Everyone does not do well in the exam, so the law does not blame everyone. Besides, the "Book of Songs" will not be learned until next year. It is not our responsibility. I think it should be used for the exam. It doesn't matter if you come out."

Liu Kang was right when he thought about it. He felt a little better, and he gloated and said, "Actually, I'm pretty good. At least I've written poems and couplets. That boy Fan Jiang only silently read "The Analects" and "Mencius." , didn’t do anything else, if you want to fire him, you must fire him first.”

"How did you do in the exam?" Liu Kang asked.

"It's okay, it can be done, but I don't know if it's right or not."

As soon as Fan Ning finished speaking, Liu Kang shouted in a low voice, "They are here!"

Fan Ning turned around and saw a large group of middle school students walking out, surrounded by seven students. They were the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and the person in the middle was Xu Ji.

"Little ones, don't cry, go home and feed yourself!"

Someone yelled in a strange voice, and everyone laughed.

All the students in Xiashe glared at them, and Liu Kang was even more furious. He pointed at Fan Ning and said, "What are you proud of? Our Fan Ning is no worse than you in the exam!"

Fan Ning quickly stopped him, "Liu Kang, stop talking!"

The seven middle school students looked at each other with sarcasm on their faces, and one of them said disdainfully, "The ant king is also an ant, can he compare with an elephant?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly, but did not answer their words. Seeing that Fan Ning was silent, the other person stepped forward and deliberately shook him with his shoulder, "Aren't you a little ant?"

Fan Ning glanced at him and said, "I am indeed a small ant, very small and not worth mentioning, but you are not an elephant, at most a group of tadpoles swimming around in the well."

"asshole!"

A group of middle school students suddenly understood the thorn in Fan Ning's words, and suddenly became furious, rushing forward one after another.

Xu Ji stopped the crowd. He was tall and thin, with a charisma in his gestures. He stepped forward calmly, and looked at Fan Ning coldly with a condescending attitude.

"Actually, the topic this time is entirely aimed at the middle school students. We are required to memorize both "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", and we have also learned couplets and poems. I don't know why the school invites the students from the middle school to join in the fun? Puzzling.

We don't deliberately look down on you, but you are indeed too weak. I always believe that the weak should have self-knowledge. "

"Are you saying we don't have self-knowledge?" Liu Kang asked dissatisfied.

Xu Ji smiled slightly, and looked at Fan Ning with disdain, "Everyone else is fine, I just think there is someone who thinks too highly of me."

These seven high-achieving students are all from a scholarly family, with profound family education, and have studied hard in school for many years. All of them have eyes above the top. How can they think highly of a junior who has just entered school.

Besides, Fan Ning came from a poor family. He came to study in the town from the countryside, and his family background is thousands of miles worse than theirs, which made them despise him even more from the bottom of his heart.

Everyone laughed together, and someone sneered: "Indeed, a certain person really doesn't know how to love himself, and thinks that he will be invincible if he gets the first place in the entrance examination. It's really ridiculous. Yanyingtang hides a dragon and a crouching tiger, who is he?"

"Everyone flatters me too much!"

Fan Ning said indifferently: "I have always been very self-aware. How dare a country schoolboy from Pingjiang Mansion in the Song Dynasty be compared with the famous Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove in history?"

Fanning was extraordinarily polite and gentle, but his words pierced people more than needles.

Xu Ji's face was slightly red. Seeing Fan Ning's sharp tongue, he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he said coldly: "Students don't need to underestimate themselves. No one dares to say that they can take the first place. There are many talented students in the middle school." Classmates, like Xue Jun, Lu Youwei, Wu Jian, Zhang Miao, Wang Zheng, Wang Ying, and others, we are all likely to take the first place.

But there is one thing we can be sure of, that there will never be a student from Xiashe on the achievement list this time. "

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked away. Everyone raised their heads one by one, and strode away in front of them without looking at them.

Liu Kang gritted his teeth with hatred, "These bastards are too arrogant, Fanning, they look down on you from the bottom of their hearts!"

Fan Ning smiled lightly, "They do have crazy capital. I have only been in office for two months, so there is no need to compete with them."
