Chapter 18 Apprenticeship
Seeing Zhu Yingtai's situation in Dao's eyes, Ma Wencai was shocked.Unexpectedly, she is also a cultivator, and her realm is two levels higher than her own.

Zhu Yingtai forced herself to calm down, walked in front of Ma Wencai, clasped her fists and saluted, "Brother Ma, can you take a step to speak!"

"Don't worry, I won't expose you!" Marvin smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, I know my identity!" Zhu Yingtai's heart trembled slightly, but she was relieved.He nodded at Ma Wen first, and then shouted loudly, "Masters and classmates, I'm Zhu Yingtai, please listen to me!"

"What is he going to do?" Master Huang's pupils narrowed slightly, just when he thought he had caught Ma Wencai's pain, and he left the scene in despair.But he didn't expect that there would be another incident, and this person is still a student of his own academy.

There are only over a hundred students in Nizi Academy, even if some of them don't know Zhu Yingtai, they know that she is a student of our school.Seeing her speaking on stage, he immediately turned his gaze over.

"My little brother lives in Shangyu, and he has a close relationship with the Ma family. He has known Brother Wencai since he was young. In the literary style of Xiashenmu College, he wanted to study away from home, but he was afraid that his parents would stop him, so he left without saying goodbye. Yesterday, the book boy saw Brother Wencai went to the academy for an examination, thinking that he was looking for me to return home. Therefore, he fabricated a lie, saying that Brother Wencai was as good as Longyang. Master Huang was deceived by it, thinking that Brother Wencai was a person with corrupt morals, so Shicai did not accept his essays. There are thousands of mistakes, and Yingtai is the only one to blame. I also ask Brother Ma to forgive me, Master, please forgive me! Students, please forgive me!"

When Zhu Yingtai said this, she felt a sense of desolation in her heart.The reason why she left home to study was entirely because she wanted to enjoy the last unruly years before marriage.But she never expected that her fiancé would come to her home after only a month or so away from home, which even caused such a big disturbance.As a student of the academy, she must consider the reputation of the academy.At the same time, she had to consider the reputation of her fiancé.After thinking hard, he could only throw himself out in the end. If it wasn't for him, Marvin wouldn't have come to Nizi Academy, and if it wasn't for Yin Xin's troubles, there wouldn't be such a big misunderstanding.

"So that's how it is!" Fang suddenly realized when all the students heard this.No wonder Master Huang would prevent Ma Wen from being admitted to the hospital, all because he believed the rumors.Now that the words have been spoken, it must be calm!
"It turns out that the old man was deceived by you!"

Master Huang also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhu Yingtai angrily, flung his sleeves, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Master Huang was about to leave, Ma Wen hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted.

"Anything else?" Master Huang sneered.

"You said earlier that you saw me with a man in the street with your own eyes. Now you say that you were deceived by others and mistrusted people's words. The two words before and after are still in your ears. Mr. Huang, your inconsistency is really true. Profound!"

What he said made Master Huang look pale, he only thought about Zhu Yingtai's words and saved himself from the siege.Unexpectedly, what he just said was caught by Ma Wencai.

"Brother Ma!" Zhu Yingtai saw that Ma Wencai still didn't want to let Master Huang go, and gave him a pitiful look, wanting to beg for mercy.

"Yingtai, if he insulted my parents, he insulted your parents, do you still want to speak for him?" Ma Wencai sneered.It was really unexpected that Zhu Yingtai could stand up.However, now that the arrow is on the string, he has no choice but to strike. He managed to put up such a battle, how could it be over before the opera started.After saying this, I felt unsafe, and lowered my voice to threaten, "Don't force me to expose your identity in public!"

After hearing Ma Wencai's words, Zhu Yingtai's expression darkened and she could only keep silent.

Lu Zhongming has been standing behind the gate of the academy, thinking hard about a solution.Until now, he has no cure.According to what the dean said, it is best to find out the contents of the three stone tablets.But it is a pity that the content on this stone tablet is too profound, and no one in the courtyard can answer it.Although Ji Yun, who has the most literary talents in the academy, is not in the academy, according to Lu Zhong's name, let alone Ji Yun, even if he invites all the great scholars in the Tang Dynasty, he may not be able to match within a day or two.

Seeing that many idlers have already gathered here along the mountain road.He was even more anxious. If he waited any longer, more people would come.In less than a day, the entire Hangzhou prefecture will probably know that the academy mistook pearls and jade for fish eyes.As a result, people blocked the door, and in the end they had to close the door.And in more than a month, it is estimated that this matter will be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Shi Chao, what do you think of this matter?"

Right behind Lu Zhongming, Dean Ding Chengyong also held the two articles by Ma Wencai in his hand, and was asking the vice dean Wang Shichao beside him, but there was not much anxiety on his face.

"Up to now, there are two solutions!" Wang Shichao replied.

"Brother Shi Chao, please advise!" Ding Chengyong said.

"Admit defeat or play tricks!" Wang Shichao flicked the article in his hand, looked at the Temple of the Holy Image, and smiled.

"The holy image has its own judgment, this matter is difficult!" Ding Chengyong shook his head and sighed softly.His thoughts are the same as Wang Shichao.This matter looks troublesome, but it is actually easy to solve.The students enrolled in the academy are not interested in the level of the article, but in the reaction of the statue of Confucius after the sacrificial text.No matter how good your article is, if Confucius looks down on you, it will be in vain.

"Then the two will become one, admit defeat first and then play tricks. If Confucius does not approve, the reputation of the academy will not be damaged. If Confucius approves..." At this point, Wang Shichao clasped his fists, "Then congratulations to the dean , the academy is going to recruit a talented person from all over the world!"

"However, this Huang Shiqian can't stay anymore. This talent is not very knowledgeable, he is withdrawn, and he was frustrated when he was young. If he stays in the academy, there will be troubles in the future!" Ding Chengyong nodded first, and then his eyes flashed Take a chill.

"What the dean said is absolutely true!" Wang Shichao could only nod his head.Huang Shiqian has a perverse personality, and because he was frustrated by competing for women when he was young, he has a hostile attitude towards the rich and powerful.If the two hadn't been classmates before, and he saw him as pitiful, he wouldn't have invited him to the academy.Unexpectedly, he caused such a big trouble for the academy.It was so good, no one would say anything wrong with him being kicked out of the academy, just to get rid of this piece of brown candy.

"The dean is here!"

Among the crowd, I don't know who shouted such a sentence.

Immediately, all eyes were on the main entrance of the academy.Among them is of course Master Huang, who is in a dilemma.Seeing the dean appearing, his eyes were full of hope.

Ma Wen just looked around, and saw an old man walking down the steps slowly, with a steady pace, he should be the dean among these people.

Ding Chengyong has a plan in his heart, and his walking speed is neither fast nor slow.When Fang arrived in front of Ma Wencai, he bowed his head, "Student Ding Chengyong, I have met you sir!"
