"Okay! Let's all go tomorrow! Let's cheer up Xiaochen together!" Mu Qingyue said when she saw everyone gathered together.

The next morning it was still dark, so Ms. Zhao woke up and came to the kitchen.

Li Guifang looked at Mrs. Zhao in surprise, "Madam, why did you get up so early?"

"I woke up and couldn't sleep anymore. Let me spread an egg pancake! You can just do your thing!" Since Li Guifang came to the house, Mrs. Zhao has rarely done anything. Maybe she had something on her mind today and couldn't sleep. If you don’t sleep well, it’s better to get up early and be busy!

"Hey!" Li Guifang heard Zhao's words and continued to prepare breakfast.

Mu Laosan watched Mrs. Zhao get up and was not idle. She checked the things for the master again before feeling relieved.

Seeing Mu Qingchen come out and giving instructions repeatedly, Mu Qingchen was originally full of confidence, but seeing Mu Laosan and Zhao being so nervous, she couldn't help but become worried.

Mu Qingyue saw this situation when she came out and couldn't help but said with a smile, "Okay, parents, don't put so much pressure on Xiaochen, just let nature take its course."

Mu Laosan and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other, couldn't help but smile, came to Mu Qingchen's side, patted his arm and said, "Listen to your sister, don't be nervous."

Mu Qingchen couldn't help but mutter: "I'm not nervous! It's you who are too nervous!"

After dinner, Mu Laosan took the riding whip from Anyuan's hand, looked back and said, "Hurry up and get in the carriage. Let's go there quickly. Don't be late and leave a bad impression on the master."

The few people listened and didn't hesitate any longer. After all, today was a big event and there was no room for any mistakes.

Mu Laosan watched them all sit down and drove towards the county seat.

Originally Mu Laosan felt that they had arrived early enough, but unexpectedly when they arrived at the academy, a long queue had already formed at the door.

Mu Qingyue and others got off the carriage and went to line up in the queue, while Mu Laosan went to arrange the carriage!

As soon as a few people lined up, they saw another carriage coming. It was very low-key, with only a woman and a girl accompanying a child as old as Mu Qingchen.

I only heard the woman saying: "Zixuan, you have to behave well later to win the favor of Assistant Professor Zheng of Guozi School. Dad said that Assistant Professor Zheng has a great talent. If it weren't for his mother's filial piety, he would also I won’t be here to help teach.”

"Sister, I understand, why are you more verbose than the grandma in charge?" Li Zixuan couldn't help but complain after listening to Li Lele's endless words.

"Hmph, you think I am willing to take care of you! If it weren't for the fact that my mother died young, I wouldn't be willing to take care of you!" Li Lele couldn't help but feel depressed when he thought of his mother who died young.

Dad is busy every day and rarely sees him. His stepmother is in charge of the backyard. If he hadn't been so careful, Li Zixuan would have been led astray long ago and how could he get his father's appreciation.

"Sister, I understand, that's what I said. I know you are doing it for my own good!" Li Zixuan looked at Li Lele distressedly. She was obviously in her prime, but she was busy like an old woman every day. It was really frustrating. People feel sad.

"Okay, don't be pitiful. As long as you study hard and get the top prize, it won't be in vain for all the hard work I put in!" Li Lele said hurriedly, not wanting to see him like this.

After hearing this, Li Zixuan's face suddenly drooped, "No. 1 pick? It's very difficult, okay!"

Li Lele ignored him and pulled him to queue quietly at the back. He did not bully others because his father was the official of the county town.

Soon they arrived at Mu Qingchen, and saw him walking forward calmly and accepting the master's test. However, when one of the masters saw Mu Qingchen's name, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Since it was just the beginning of school, the teachers were just asking some basic questions. Mu Qingchen answered fluently, and the teachers at the county school nodded with satisfaction.

"Pass!"

"Wait a minute!" The master, who had a flash of disgust in his eyes just now, stood up.

"Master Zhu, I don't know what to advise." Master Guo looked at Zhu Shang and said.

"It's okay, I'll ask the debut question again." Zhu Shang said calmly, hiding the emotion in his eyes.

Mu Qingchen hurriedly bowed her hands and saluted.

Zhu Shang looked at Mu Qingchen and said casually: "First recite the twelve chapters of The Analects of Confucius!"

When Zheng Bin heard this, he glanced at Zhu Shang sideways and said nothing. It seemed that this child was from a peasant family and he could already recognize a few words.

Mu Qingchen looked at Zhu Shang in surprise. It stands to reason that he would not be able to pass the entrance examination at the beginning! But now that he has passed the exam, he has no reason to retreat.

Now don't stand with your hands behind your back, and recite it eloquently, "The Master said: Learn and practice it from time to time..."

Zhu Shang's face became darker and darker. He didn't expect this kid to be able to recite it. Then he said: "Explain what it means!"

Mu Qingchen also understood at this time that Master Zhu was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he didn't know when he offended him.

I knew very well that I had not seen him before, but I also understood that it was really difficult for me to enroll in school today, and I was feeling worried.

He could only do his best, and then he bowed his hands and said: "Yes, Confucius said: learn knowledge and then review it according to a certain amount of time..."

Zhu Shang couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at Mu Qingchen and said, "If you do this again..."

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zheng Bin, "That's enough. If you are not willing to accept this student, just let him study with me!"

"Mr. Zheng! This student's family has bad moral character, how can he join your school?" Zhu Shang said hurriedly after hearing this.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Zheng Bin was a little hesitant when he heard Zhu Shang's words. After all, good conduct is the most important thing when joining his sect.

Only then did Zhu Shang tell what he heard from his student Mu Qinggang. Sure enough, Zheng Bin's expression changed slightly and he looked at Mu Qingchen with scrutiny.

Mu Qingyue saw that everyone else had come down quickly, and Mu Qingchen was still being questioned. She couldn't help but feel worried, so she stepped forward to ask.

Zheng Bin looked at Mu Qingchen and said, "Someone reported that your family is an unfilial family, but it's true!"

Only then did Mu Qingchen realize why the Master looked at her differently. He immediately raised his hands and saluted and said, "Master, please be aware that this matter is a complete fabrication."

Mu Qingyue couldn't stand after hearing this, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed first, and then looked at the Master and said, "May I ask who the Master heard the accusation from? We are willing to confront him."

Zheng Bin saw that Mu Qingyue spoke well and had thoughtful etiquette. Judging from the salute just now, it was also an example for everyone. He looked at Zhu Shang and said: "Seeing is believing and hearing is false. Go and call someone. Let them confront each other and find out who is right and who is wrong, and someone with discerning eyes will be able to tell."

Zhu Shang glanced at Mu Qingyue, full of confidence, and hurriedly looked at Zheng Bin and said, "I listened to my student, so I'll call him over right now."
