Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Mingde Academy?!"

When Sun Minghua heard this name, his complexion changed slightly, and the anger in his heart was immediately poured with cold water, and it calmed down instantly.

Mingde Academy's status in Ming County is highly respected, even if Sun Minghua was given ten guts, he would not dare to force his way in.

"Hi, excuse me, goodbye!"

Sun Minghua took the two servants and left with their tails between their legs, not daring to say a single bad word.

It's just that he didn't give up his hatred for Chu Zhuang so easily.

Sun Minghua narrowed his eyes, suddenly his eyes lit up, and a figure appeared in his mind.

Although he can't deal with Chu Zhuang, there is always someone who can deal with it!

There was a cruel smile on the corner of Sun Minghua's lips. He turned his head and glanced in the direction of Mingde Academy, clenched his fists, and said through gritted teeth: "Since you let me make a statement in Chuzhuang, I also want you to do this often." The taste in it!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Minghua snorted coldly, turned and left directly.

"Cousin, if you don't help me with this matter, no one will be able to help me."

Sun Minghua pulled his face, looked at Sun Dehua in front of him, and begged bitterly.

Sun Dehua is a newly promoted scholar who can freely enter and leave Mingde Academy, and he is also the person he invited to help deal with Chuzhuang this time.

"Help you? Aren't you making a big enough fuss about this?" Sun Dehua frowned, looked at Sun Minghua with some displeasure and said.

Because of Sun Minghua's matter, even his reputation has been tarnished, of course he would be unhappy, but when he heard Sun Minghua asked him to help, how could he easily agree.

When Sun Minghua heard Sun Dehua's refusal, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to show it to Sun Dehua, so he could only lower his eyes to cover up the expression in his eyes.

"Cousin, this matter is completely caused by Chu Zhuang deliberately picking on me and framing me! You must help me decide!"

Sun Minghua showed a look of grief and indignation. If someone who didn't know saw his appearance, he might be deceived by his face.

But Sun Dehua is obviously not an uninformed person.

Sun Dehua glanced at him and sneered. Many people have witnessed what happened that day.

If Sun Minghua hadn't provoked Chu Zhuang in advance and insulted the couple's husband, he wouldn't have been caught by the tongue and beaten back.

So much so that it ended up in a notorious end.

All of this is Sun Minghua's own fault, and he can't blame others at all.

Now Sun Minghua wants him to help with just a few words, he is not so easy to fool!

"Really?" Sun Dehua raised his eyebrows and asked with a sarcastic look at Sun Minghua.

"Yes, yes..." Sun Minghua couldn't help feeling guilty.

"Ah!"

Sun Dehua sneered and did not speak. He picked up the teacup and started to drink tea indifferently, completely ignoring Sun Minghua.

In the past, Sun Dehua would not have treated Sun Minghua like this, but now there is a gap in their identities.

One is a scholar with a bright future, the other is white and notorious, and has no hope of taking the imperial examination in the future. At this time, Sun Dehua didn't take Sun Minghua seriously at all, so naturally he dared to show his face to him.

Seeing Sun Dehua like this, Sun Minghua couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart. He knew that if there was no blood, Sun Dehua would not agree to help.

Sun Minghua endured the heartache, took out all the savings from his bosom, handed it to Sun Dehua, and said flatteringly: "Cousin, my brother has suffered such a big grievance, please help~"

Sun Dehua looked at the money bag in front of him, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. This is the courtesy you should have when asking someone for help!

"Why is this between us brothers!"

Even so, the action was unambiguous, Sun Dehua directly took the money bag from Sun Minghua's hand.

He had no scruples and opened it directly in front of Sun Minghua. Seeing that there were at least ten gold coins inside, he was immediately overjoyed.

Sun Minghua pursed his lips tightly and withdrew his hands. As a cousin, he was good at everything else, but he was greedy for money.

This time he has spent all his money, and the other party has to help him deal with Chu Zhuang after taking his money!

"This Chuzhuang not only hurt my reputation, but also our Sun family's reputation."

Sun Minghua said hastily: "Cousin, you sure won't let people who insult our Sun family like this go?"

Sun Dehua put away the money bag, then looked at Sun Minghua with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just a Chu village, don't worry, my cousin will definitely give you a bad breath this time!"

Sun Dehua also knew Chu Zhuang, and his impression of him was similar to that of Sun Minghua before. At best, he was hardworking, honest and dull, at worst, he was a stupid nerd.

If it weren't for the fact that Chu Zhuang still had the title of a magistrate, his character would definitely be bullied in the county school.

So he was also a little puzzled about Sun Minghua's big fall in front of Chu Zhuang this time.

"Cousin, this Chuzhuang is different from before."

Sun Minghua recalled the fear of being dominated by Chu Zhuang in the book shop before, and couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh?" Sun Dehua put down his teacup and asked curiously, "What's different?"

Sun Minghua's expression was a little perplexed, and he couldn't tell what was different, but after thinking about it, he said, "It has become sharper and sharper!"

Sun Dehua didn't take it seriously, he just thought that after this incident, Sun Minghua was terrified by Chu Zhuang.

He stood up, looked at Sun Ming and said, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Sun Minghua's eyes widened, but he hadn't reacted yet.

Now that Sun Minghua's gold coins have been collected, the matter will naturally be settled.

"Didn't you say that Chu Zhuang is in Mingde Academy? Let's meet him!" Sun Dehua said thoughtfully with a smile on his lips.

"Okay!" Sun Minghua's eyes widened, his eyes were full of excitement, and he immediately responded.

……

At this time, Chu Zhuang didn't know that someone was already on his way to trouble him.

He looked at Zhao Juren in front of him, and said respectfully: "The student is recuperating at home due to illness, so he only came to visit at this time. Please don't blame the student, sir."

Zhao Juren's name is Zhao Qiu, and he is already in his forties this year. He has no talent for reading, and he barely passed the Juren examination when he was approaching forty.

In this fifty-five-year-old Da Yue Dynasty, he already had half a foot in the coffin at his age.

He didn't intend to go any further in the exam, and now he is only a wealthy idler in Ming County, and occasionally gives lectures to the students of the academy.

"It's not what you want to be sick, it's okay."

Zhao Juren waved his hands with a smile, and looked at Chu Zhuang's young face with envy in his eyes.

If he was able to pass the examination as a scholar at Chuzhuang's age, he would definitely not be willing to live in this small Ming county now.

Chu Zhuang smiled, glanced at Bai Dali, Bai Dali understood, and presented the gift he had prepared.

"A little heart, I hope the gentleman will accept it."

This is not only a gift, but also a tuition fee for Chu Zhuang to enter Mingde Academy.

Zhao Juren glanced at it briefly, and found that there were all elegant things inside, and of course the value was very high, so he nodded in satisfaction.

The housekeeper at the side understood, and immediately stepped forward to take the gift away from Bai Dali's hand.

"Has your body recovered now?" Zhao Qiu asked with concern, like a kind elder.

Chu Zhuang cupped his hands, and did not forget his etiquette because of Zhao Qiu's carelessness and care, and replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, teacher, the student has recovered now."

Zhao Qiu sized up Chuzhuang and was satisfied. He put down the teacup in his hand and stood up from his seat.

"It's just a coincidence that you came today. I'm planning to hold a poetry meeting today. I'm the chief judge. Why don't you accompany me to observe and observe?"

Zhao Juren intends to personally introduce Chu Zhuang to everyone in the academy. This move can be said to attach great importance to Chu Zhuang. Ordinary students do not have this kind of treatment.

And this emphasis is not without reason.

It's not that Zhao Qiu has never seen a young scholar, but most of them have all been wiped out by the crowd.

It is easy for people who become famous at a young age to become arrogant, but in Chu Zhuang, Zhao Qiu did not see this impetuousness.

Calm and steady, this is the impression that Chu Zhuang left on Zhao Qiu.

Such a person is the most suitable to survive in the officialdom. He believes that as long as Chuzhuang is given a chance, the future of Chuzhuang will be limitless.

For such a potential stock, Zhao Qiu naturally would not let it go easily. He now has a granddaughter of the right age under his knees, who just happens to match Chu Zhuang.

But there is also a headache, that is, the name of the stepmother of Chu Zhuang, the Sima clan, is still a little daunting.

Although Zhao Qiu had this idea, he also decided to inquire first before making a decision.

"It's an honor for the students."

For Zhao Qiu's invitation, Chu Zhuang naturally would not refuse, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

……

"This is Mingde Academy!"

Sun Minghua followed Sun Dehua into the Mingde Academy smoothly this time. He looked at the surroundings of the academy with envy and annoyance in his eyes.

If his luck is better this time, he can also come in here to study.

Sun Dehua saw the envy in Sun Minghua's eyes, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he patted Sun Minghua on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't look around, come with me."

"Cousin, where do you think this Chuzhuang is now?" Sun Minghua followed closely beside Sun Dehua, asking as he walked.

"Chuzhuang should be coming to the academy for the first time, so he will visit Mr. Zhao first, let's go and have a look first." Sun Dehua thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Zhao?"

Sun Minghua frowned and asked, "Is it Zhao Juren?"

"Ah."

Sun Dehua didn't explain much, suddenly he stopped, and looked at the two people walking in the distance.

"Cousin, why did you stop suddenly..."

Sun Minghua had been following closely behind Sun Dehua, and the other party stopped suddenly. If he hadn't reacted quickly and stopped in time, the two would have bumped into each other.
