Regulation starts at night

Chapter 23

"Teacher, what does Fourth Junior Brother know?"

"I don't know. This fourth child has been very insightful since he was a child. He knows many things but is unwilling to reveal them."

"But if the fourth junior brother doesn't say anything, how should we deal with it?"

"Slow down, cook quickly. If you don't cook, you will starve to death as a teacher. If you starve to death, you don't need to deal with anything."

The master stroked his beard and looked at the academy through the mountains in the distance.

As a player playing against Haotian, he really wants to see what the future holds. He doesn't believe in Haotian, so he established Datang, so the Tang people don't believe in Haotian!

The next day, when it was the day when the academy announced the results, the students who had left yesterday came in a hurry.Most of them came forward with nervous expressions and two thick dark circles under their eyes, only a few of them were confident and relaxed.

Among them, the third son from the Xie Mansion in Ruyang, Southern Jin Dynasty, Xie Chengyun was surrounded by many people.

Ruyang Xie Mansion handed down poems and books to the world. Xie Chengyun was very intelligent since he was a child, and he was able to write at the age of three and compose poems at the age of five.Now it is 18 years old, and it is the Southern Jin imperial examination.

Tanhualang was a high-minded man. After declining the request of an official in the Southern Jin Dynasty, he went all the way north to Datang, thousands of miles away.

As the most famous son of aristocratic family in this academy examination, Xie Chengyun is indeed a good person, elegant and gentle, although he can't get rid of the contrasting heart of a young man, he is still a good talent.

Everyone knew that he would definitely become a disciple of the academy, and with his talent, the academy examinations would be no problem, so the people who surrounded him were very shrewd.

Everyone in the room knew what it meant to be admitted to the academy, so naturally they had to hug their thighs early.

Apart from Xie Chengyun and his group, there are Tang prodigy Linchuan Wang Ying, Zhong Dajun from Yangguan Academy, and Cui Ming, who claimed to be the Cui family of Qinghe County yesterday, did the same.

Of course, the so-called people's eyes are discerning, no matter Wang Ying, Zhong Dajun, Cui Ming, there are obviously a lot fewer people around them.

Outside of these four teams, the rest of the students were either recommended by the military or came from poor families.Most of these people have tense faces, and some even have hands and feet in a panic without knowing it.

The announcement of the academy's ranking was hung in the small square not far from the gate of the academy. These students were washed by dust yesterday, and they took off their clothes and washed after going back last night. They never thought that they would be covered by dust again today.

Although Chang'an City is quite warm now, the academy is also very clean, and the dust brought up by the broom is very little, but no one wants the dust to contaminate themselves, so many people are not happy about it.

Xie Chengyun frowned, put his sleeves in front of his nose, and a person watching his words and expressions immediately stood up and shouted: "Hey, that sweeper!"

"Can you take a break for a while, and clean up after Young Master Xie has checked the notice?"

The person who spoke was quite polite, although his demeanor was condescending, his tone was not that strong.It's just that the middle-aged sweeper didn't make a sound, and continued to sweep.

"Sir, could you stop for a moment?"

Xie Cheng, who was surrounded by people, spoke softly after saluting.

Seeing that the middle-aged man ignored him, Xie Chengyun's complexion changed slightly, and his expression looked a little cold.

The students surrounding them suddenly found a broad road.If I can help Xie Chengyun regain face, I will be able to...

These people spoke out to crusade one after another. Seeing that the middle-aged people continued to do their own way, more and more people joined the crusade army.

They were influenced by Tang Huang and others yesterday, and they treated this servant like a servant in front of them with courtesy, but it doesn't mean that they can really respect each other.

Especially after yesterday's raid on the archery examination room, everyone in the room was quite critical of the academy.After all, Datang Academy is sacred, but now they are mixed into the reference team by those people, and many students were injured and died because of this.

Dissatisfied with the academy, he no longer respects the cleaning worker in the academy.

Cui Ming stood quietly at the side, he had lost face here yesterday, he never thought of letting it out.

It wasn't that he was cowardly, but that he had seriously thought about it afterwards, and remembered the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, the prince, the princess and others, and it was these people who let him know that the sweeper in front of him was not a servant of an ordinary family.

Cui Ming seemed abrupt yesterday, and his behavior violated the etiquette of a nobleman, but he is not a fool.Instead, he's smart, so he's watching quietly.

It wasn't that he wanted to see what would happen to the middle-aged man who was being scolded by others, but what he wanted to see was how Xie Chengyun would lose face in front of this person. He was also a son of a family, and the same outstanding young generation would naturally have a sense of competition.

But all along, Xie Chengyun has grabbed too much limelight, and he is extremely talented, so it will be difficult to find a balance elsewhere.So he hoped that the middle-aged man who made him lose face yesterday would make this Southern Jin talent stumble today.

The middle-aged man was still silent. At this time, the professors of the academy came to the arena with the list, but when he came close and saw this scene, the teachers shouted angrily: "What does it look like? This is the so-called young talent? "

"So ignorant of etiquette, even if you are talented, what's the use of entering my academy?"

After saying this, the instructors threw the red notices in their hands on the ground and turned to leave.

In fact, this kind of thing is not worth the teacher's fury.

As young and famous, it is common for them to be arrogant, but their arrogance is used in the wrong place and on the wrong person.

Everyone in the venue was speechless, looking at the few pieces of red cloth on the ground, they didn't know how to deal with themselves for a while.

Some people wanted to go forward to get it, but at the moment of action, they were dissuaded by the eyes of everyone in the field. Some people hesitated silently, looking out of the academy door from time to time, hesitating whether to leave the academy, and some stood with their arms around their shoulders. Watching from the sidelines.

Except for the sound of middle-aged people sweeping the floor in front of the empty square, no one made a sound.

These young minds know why teaching is the way it is, they just don't know what to do next.Should he pick up the red cloths with the college exam results written on them, or should he wait for the instructors' anger to subside before announcing the results?

Outside the gate of the academy, Ning Que came to the gate out of breath, and Sangsang, who usually followed behind, was left far away by him.

"Sangsang, go back quickly and look at the shop. Master, I'll go back after I read the results!"

Ning Que bent over and breathed heavily. Looking at the small figure in the distance, he took a deep breath and roared loudly.

Seeing Sangsang turning her head and walking towards Chang'an City, Ning Que noticed the weird and silent people in the arena.

Of course he saw the small square not far from the gate, and also saw the group of students standing in the small square.

Many people turned their heads because of Ning Que's shouts, Chu Youxian looked at Ning Que, and walked quickly to him.

"Ning Que, why are you here so late?"

"The chicken that woke me up was slaughtered by me last night!"

Chu Youxian looked at Ning Que with a serious face, and really wanted to ask what this meant, but it was obviously not a good time, and the academy was not a place to play around.

"Why are they looking at me like that?"

Ning Que calmed down and was watched by hundreds of people. Although Ning Que was fearless, he was not at ease.

Chu Youxian looked at the crowd, and whispered in Ning Que's ear what was going on, and Ning Que finally understood.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was still cleaning the ground, Ning Que saluted and walked towards the crowd.

"Chu Youxian, didn't you say that the rankings will be released at nine o'clock? The instructors slaughtered the chickens on the cellar bed like me?"

"Brother Ning, don't be joking, the instructors have already left, and they threw the notice on the ground over there. Now everyone doesn't know what to do, what the instructors mean."

"What's the point of looking at the rankings? The instructors won't cancel everyone's admission qualifications just because of this. Of course, there will be punishment, but when it will come, it's hard to say."

Ning Que raised his voice intentionally or unintentionally, and stole a glance at the middle-aged man who was still sweeping the floor.Seeing the middle-aged man's face with no special expression other than being ugly, he silently picked up the red cloth with a little dust on the ground.

When mentioning the red cloth, Ning Que didn't carefully look at the rankings of various subjects on the cloth, but after shaking, he put the piece of music subject score notice in his hand on the notice board.

Everyone in the venue who heard this remark breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they don't know why they trust this little man in front of them. It's just that it's good to have someone to support and comfort you when you are in trouble, so many people took out their handkerchiefs to wipe their sweat.

These people are not afraid of being punished, but they are afraid that the teachers will disqualify everyone from enrolling in a fit of anger.No one will doubt whether the academy dares, if not, then this is not an academy.

Xie Chengyun felt at ease, he was naturally extremely nervous when things happened because of him.

He didn't think that the reputation of being a talented scholar in the Southern Jin Dynasty could affect the academy's decision-making, so he has been thinking about how to remedy it since the teachers left the notice and left.

Several female students stepped forward to pick up the notice, followed Ning Que's example after shaking off the dust on it, and pasted it on the public notice board. Then everyone gathered around and someone stood in front of the notice and said loudly.

"Xie Chengyun, a talented student in the Southern Jin Dynasty, was first-class in six subjects, top-ranked in calligraphy and etiquette."

After the reader read the list, Xie Chengyun smiled, and a group of students came to chat and congratulate.As a student of the Academy Examination, he knows a lot about the Academy, and the results of Third Young Master Xie rarely appeared in the past ten years.

The girls looked at the third son Xie with hot eyes and pink faces.

As the host, Xie Chengyun is constantly coping with other people's blessings.The list reader did not stop and continued to read aloud.

"Wang Ying from Linchuan, A in four subjects, top in music, and C in archery."

"Yangguan Zhong Dajun, A in four subjects, B in riding and archery."

"Cui Ming of Qinghe County, A in three subjects, B in riding and archery, and B in calligraphy."

…………

"This year, I waited for the candidates to achieve good results, and four of them reached the top three in three subjects."

"That's right. Everyone did well in the exams. Mr. Xie got the first grades in four subjects. The grades in the two first grades should be the best results in the college exams in the past ten years, right?"

Some people praise it, but naturally some people disdain it, and the person who disdains it is none other than Zhong Dajun, whose limelight was squeezed by Wang Ying and Xie Chengyun.

"Who said it was the best result in ten years?"

Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, Zhong Dajun raised his head habitually, and continued: "Five years ago, there was a Xiling candidate who got the first grade in six subjects!"

"What? Who is this person's name? Is there such an almighty person in the world?"

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
