After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The Imperial College's poaching was not a secret, or perhaps they didn't want to keep it a secret.

Because everyone in the Imperial Academy believed that for these students born in the lower classes, it was a great honor to be able to enter the Imperial Academy. Who would refuse?

The tea drinkers in Fuquan Teahouse thought the same.

"This Imperial Academy is really dishonest. When the students were unknown, they didn't bother to pay attention to them. But after they passed the provincial examination, they came to poach them one by one."

Another businessman disagreed: "Isn't this normal? Fish eyes are everywhere, but if the fish eyes become pearls, then naturally people will rush to buy them."

"Isn't this just picking peaches?! The talents that Baichuan Academy has worked so hard to cultivate have been poached by the Imperial Academy, and before this crucial academy exam!"

The merchant retorted: "The highest bidder wins! If he was poached by the Imperial College, it means that Baichuan Academy has no ability to retain talent."

"That's right. Water flows to the lowest place, and people go to the highest place! The Imperial College is still the Imperial College after all. It has the support of the government and many connections. If you pass the examination and become a scholar in the future, you may be able to use the connections of your classmates to get a good job."

What they said made so much sense, but it sounded suffocating.

This matter is not very upright. When these students pass the examination and become scholars, people will only say that they are from the Imperial College, and will not say that they were actually taught by Baichuan Academy.

Baichuan Academy could only swallow this loss in silence.

In the private room on the second floor, General Niu's wife could not hide her worry: "How could this Imperial Academy be like this? It's really embarrassing. Isn't it obvious that they don't like Baichuan Academy?"

The Imperial Academy is the Imperial Academy after all. There are thousands of students alone. Even if we just count the numbers, it can still produce quite a few scholars, juren and jinshi every year.

How could they look down upon a few students?

The reason why they spent so much effort to poach people is simply because they don’t want Baichuan Academy to become famous again!

The young wife of Duke Chengguo coughed twice to remind Madam Niu that the mother of a student from the Imperial Academy was sitting next to her!

Mrs. Niu finally reacted and looked at the silent young wife of Duke Ji with an apologetic look in her eyes.

The young lady of Duke Jiguo was not like before. When she heard that the Imperial College was not good, she started to blast: "It was indeed the Imperial College that did something wrong."

Mrs. Niu looked out the window and said, "Oh, the sun is rising from the west today?"

The young wife of Duke Ji glared at her unhappily and said, "I am not unreasonable. Since the Marquis's wife has forgiven the past and remembered my insignificant kindness, I will naturally appreciate her kindness."

Madam Niu lowered her voice and asked, "Did those papers Madam Hou sent come in handy?"

The young lady of the Duke of Ji also lowered her voice: "It is extremely useful!"

The two of them stopped talking and didn't go any further.

Young Lady of Duke Cheng: "I heard that you finally started to tidy up the inner house? You even put concubines in competition with those figures."

The young wife of Duke Jiguo said calmly, "Some people are shameless when given the chance, and they should be taught a lesson. As for rectification, we should start from the source."

"Oh?"

"As the saying goes, money is a person's confidence. In the past, the prince's expenses were quite large. Today he spent 300 taels, and tomorrow he spent 500 taels. I was the one who made up the accounts for him. This time, I won't indulge him! Let him fill these big holes by himself!"

Madam Niu clapped her hands and cheered: "You deserve it! In the past, you insisted on being virtuous and held yourself back until your chest hurt. This is how things are in this world. If you can't use your power to suppress others, then start to go crazy. If you have no scruples, you will be able to draw your sword naturally!"

The young wife of Duke Jiguo no longer cared about the so-called etiquette and leaned lazily on the couch: "This is the first time I do something like this, and I still feel awkward. After doing it a few more times, I just feel extremely happy inside!"

The young wife of Duke Ji sighed, "At first I didn't understand why the Marquis' wife was so heartless to the Marquis of Yongchang. But now I understand. Being kind to him is being cruel to myself. It's better to make him suffer than to make myself suffer."

Madam Niu clapped her hands and laughed: "Congratulations to Gu Nanxi's support group for adding another powerful general!"

As expected, the number of students in the intensive class decreased every day, and in the end there were only ten brothers and Su Yunyan left.

"I never thought that Geng Jiashilang would be seduced by the Imperial Academy. I am so disappointed!"

"According to my opinion, they should all be expelled! Never think of entering our Baichuan Academy again in the future!"

Li Mingde was so angry that he almost died. After two months of eating and living together, he thought the entire assault squad was solid as a rock and no one could move it. However, he did not expect reality to slap him in the face.

Chen Yixuan also pouted, looking unhappy: "Their relationship is still in our Baichuan Academy, let's hold him and not let them leave!"

"Yes, make them mad, this is too much!"

Su Xuanming flipped through the book, as still as a mountain: "We can't be like the Imperial College. If they want to transfer, we don't have to force them to stay."

The sunlight outside the window flashed by, and the shadow of the flowers on the table moved forward to the left.

With only ten days left until the entrance examination, speculation about the main candidate was rife in Kyoto.

Do examiners prefer flowery rhetoric or down-to-earth writing? Do examiners value the meaning of classics or poetry?

There were all kinds of statements, which made the candidates confused for a while.

Master Yan from Baichuan Academy checked the stationery that Su Xuanming and others brought with them one by one: "Remember to bring mosquito nets, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and a change of clothes."

This academy examination is different from the provincial examination. It is divided into two sessions, and one has to stay in the examination room for three days before coming out.

The weather is hot at the moment, so students must bring wormwood pills to repel mosquitoes, mint pills to prevent heatstroke, some cotton towels to wipe sweat, and spare clothes.

"Don't be nervous during the exam. You have already passed the difficult questions in the first two exams. You must remember to take good care of your body and be careful not to get a heat stroke. Use the medicine when necessary and don't save it. Be careful when drinking water. Don't drink raw water even if you are thirsty..."

Master Yan himself failed the imperial examination because of diarrhea, so he was very worried that his students would follow in his footsteps.

Before the exam started, Master Yan reminded everyone of the precautions over and over again. When it was almost time to enter the exam room, Master Yan looked at Su Xuanming and the others, then glanced into the distance inconspicuously.

What's going on? Why haven't those former students come yet?

Because their relationship was still in Baichuan Academy, when Master Yan was arranging registration for the exam for Su Xuanming and others, he specifically asked for the opinion of the wife of Marquis Yongchang.

The wife of Marquis Yongchang said that since they were students of her academy, she would register them all at once, as Baichuan Academy was not short of the hundred silver coins.

Master Yan cleared his throat and said, "There are fifty people who should be attending the entrance examination of Baichuan Academy this time. The actual number of people who are here..."
