Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Back at the academy, Liu Yunxiang called Yan Mu out of the academy to discuss with him how to resolve the matter.

"I'll go to the government and ask Magistrate Wen to mediate," Yan Mu said.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "This is also a way."

But if she offended that old guy, Chief Xu Shan, he would definitely find various reasons and refuse to give in.

Just when Liu Yunxiang was in trouble, there was movement in the bamboo forest to the west. The two hurriedly ran over to take a look, and saw Master Xia from Huiming Academy and several students pulling up weeds as tall as one person.

"Master Xia, what are you doing?" Yan Mu asked puzzledly.

Master Xia first cut the weeds around him with a sickle, then climbed up and gasped: "Didn't those idiots from Mingyuan Academy block your road? I'll discuss it with our mountain chief and pave a road for you. Take the path from the west to our academy and go down the mountain. This side is a little steeper and a little detoured, but you can still go down the mountain."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was deeply moved.

"Master Xia, thank you very much, and thank you also to the academy."

Master Xia waved his hand, "What's the point? Roads are meant for people to walk on. Only Mingyuan Academy can get rid of such immoral things as road closures."

Master Xia looked down upon Mingyuan Academy and just said "shit" when he mentioned them.

Liu Yunxiang covered his mouth and smiled, then went to the school to call all the students out, and everyone worked together to pave the road down the mountain.

In order to thank Master Xia and several students from their academy for their help, Liu Yunxiang asked the cook to buy beef and mutton, stew it in two large pots, and leave Master Xia and others to eat together in the evening.

Several students from Huiming Academy ate meat. While eating, they said that the food at Banshan Academy was so good, better than theirs.

Fang Wanjin said happily: "Since our Mr. Yan and Mistress came here, we have eggs and noodle soup in the morning, and meat at noon and evening."

Zhuzi also chatted: "I have gained five or six pounds."

"I've gained weight too." Digua also said hurriedly.

A student from Yihuiming Academy joked: "No matter how fat you are, you will still be round."

The students of Banshan Academy and Huiming Academy have a good relationship, everyone talks and laughs, and they all hate Mingyuan Academy. When it comes to him, they have the same hatred.

"They are always opportunistic. There is a provincial examination this year, and Enke will be added in the spring of next year. If you take the provincial examination, you will not be able to participate in Enke. You have to choose one of the two. Guess what they did? They asked those who were barely able to study to take the provincial examination this year and those who studied well. Participate in Enke next year." said a student from Yihuiming Academy.

"Ah, why is this, what good does it do to them?"

"The provincial examination is difficult, and Enke is easier than that. It's like Tian Ji's horse racing. They use the poor students to compete with us who are good at studying, and then use the good and average students to compete with our poor students. Because the test content is simpler, they There are more people who can win. In previous years, we Huiming were better than them, but this time they were slipping and used this trick." Fang Wanjin curled his lips after hearing this, "That's all they have."

The provincial examination has been completed, and the results will be available in two days. However, everyone knows which college and which students have signed up for the provincial examination. According to the usual practice of the provincial examination, up to five people in Zhushui County can pass the exam. As Enke is a talent urgently needed by the court and the exam content is relatively simple, half as many will pass the exam.

The two academies were competing against each other. If Huiming had occupied all five places in the provincial examination, then Mingyuan might have occupied ten places in Enke, and he would be absolutely crushed in terms of numbers.

But the exam should be based on ability, not these opportunistic strategies, which is especially shameful for scholars.

Fang Wanjin patted the student on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there are still us. Their wishful thinking was wrong this time."

The student chuckled and said, "I would rather all the scholars in your academy pass the exam than them."

The students had enough to eat and drink, some were fighting, some were fighting, and they were all gearing up.

Liu Yunxiang, Yan Mu and Master Xia sat aside and watched the students playing.

At this time, the poetry competition began. Everyone wrote five-character and seven-character poems with the theme of "Bamboo Moon Night". It was just a joke, Liu Yunxiang and the others just listened and didn't pay much attention to it, until the final fight between Fang Wanjin and Huiming was fought to the end.

He has already written six poems, and each one is more amazing than the last. Lian Yan Mu has a look of appreciation in his eyes.

When the last song was read aloud, the student from Huiming Academy clasped his hands in a gesture of admiration and resigned himself to the defeat.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the high-spirited Fang Wanjin. He was laughing and laughing with these students. He was full of talents, but he could only use them a little in such a night.

Perhaps he felt the same regret as her. Yan Mu sighed and turned to look at her.

"Fang Wanjin is a good young man, what a pity." Master Xia also sighed.

Liu Yunxiang poured Master Xia a glass of wine, "Master Xia and Fang Wanjin are familiar with each other?"

"Old man Bai always mentioned him to me, saying that he and Xu Jingyu back then..." At this point, Master Xia paused, and then sighed, "But it's no use no matter how talented he is, he is a businessman. .”

Just like Xu Jingyu back then, he made a fake household registration. Even though he was in high school and became famous, he still lost his life in unwillingness.

"You think, why can't the imperial court create a career path for business students?" Master Xia asked Liu Yunxiang.

However, a casual sentence made the two of them enlightened. (End of chapter)
