Silly Scholar's Wife

"Could it be that the entrance exam didn't go well?"

Zhao Huan thought about it, and now, for Mu Chenxi and his academy, this is a big deal.

A great Confucian like Xu Shanchang doesn't care about fame and wealth, but fame and talent are extremely important.

"ah!"

Mu Chenxi's eyes showed admiration, "Daughter-in-law, you are so smart, and your reaction is amazing."

"That's what your academy is all about. Do you have to guess how long it will take?"

Seeing his gloating appearance, Zhao Huan knew that he must remember what Shan Zhang once said, "Do you still hate Shan Zhang?"

"No."

Mu Chenxi shook her head with a smile, and said: "The head of the mountain is not wrong, what he said is very reasonable, he just thought too much and didn't want to accept me."

"Yes."

Zhao Huan thought about Mu Chenxi's situation at that time, as well as the false rumors from the outside world, "It's not wrong for literati to pay attention to reputation. At that time, the head of the mountain didn't dislike it like other people. It can be said that he cultivated his mind and character very well."

"Today is restless."

Mu Chenxi smiled "haha", "He went to Meilin on purpose, he must have thought that no one would destroy his gentle and refined image, he didn't expect to be seen by me, hahaha, it's so interesting!"

"You!"

Seeing that he was overjoyed, Zhao Huan nodded at him helplessly and said, "It's about the reputation of the First Academy. How can he not care or be impatient? This is human nature."

"Human reason cannot be applied to this."

Mu Chenxi calmed down, stopped laughing and playing, and said solemnly: "I have been standing on a high place, and I can no longer look at the low place. I am a little eager for success!"

"Aren't many of these foreign students from our background? They are quite outstanding. It is completely understandable to have some expectations."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "It must be that some students from poor families are more outstanding, and these high school students have been covered up."

"The thing they lack the most is a word of stability."

Mu Chenxi shook her head and said: "The starting point is high, the journey has been smooth and smooth, and there have been no major setbacks. In this respect, it must be much worse than the humble family."

"If everything is peaceful and prosperous in the Great Prosperity, using them as officials can lead to a peaceful and prosperous world."

Mu Chenxi sighed, "Oh! If you want to be an official, protect the people under your rule, and lead them to prosperity, you will be much worse than the poor students."

"Understanding political affairs, but not real affairs."

Zhao Huan recalled those modern sayings, and said with a smile: "You can't solve the sufferings of the people, you can't build the local area, and you can't lead by example. You can't suffer like a poor family, thinking only for promotion and wealth. This is a big problem."

"I don't want that anymore."

Mu Chenxi smiled, "Now I don't hear anything out of the window, and I only read the books of sages. It's not the time to worry about these when I'm looking for a job in my position. Do the things right now, and then look for them at that stage." other."

…………

A few days later, one morning, when Mu Chenxi arrived at the academy, she saw Wang Qingquan talking to Liu Wenqing furtively.

They looked into the dormitory while talking, their expressions were very serious, as if they were talking about something secret.

"Hi."

"what!"

Wang Qingquan jumped two or three steps away suddenly, looking at Mu Chenxi with a frightened expression, "Are you going to scare me to death?"

"hey-hey."

Mu Chenxi smiled and said, "I was so scared when I slapped you, did you do something wrong?"

Wang Qingquan patted his chest, heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Mu Chenxi an annoyed look, "What I can do to my conscience is always aboveboard. I was too focused and didn't notice anyone coming, so I was scared by you .”

"Oh!"

Mu Chenxi's voice was long and drawn, pointing at the dormitory and said, "You can't concentrate in the dormitory, you can only concentrate outside, so why don't you just listen to lectures outside the window from now on."

"Ha ha."

Liu Wenqing looked at Mu Chenxi's serious look from the side, and said with a smile, "Brother Mu, you must have guessed something, right?"

"Humph."

Mu Chenxi also rolled her eyes at Wang Qingquan, "Don't make those silly excuses, just like you, you are talking about something behind people's backs, and you are so nervous because you are afraid that others will find out."

"Then tell me, what are we talking about?"

Wang Qingquan rolled his eyes and said, "If it's right, I'll treat you to dinner at noon, bring your friend and nephew, and let you have a big meal."

"Hi!"

Mu Chenxi smiled inwardly: Last night, I asked Zhao Huan to guess, and now someone asked me to guess, it's really a turn of events!

"can."

Mu Chenxi smiled slightly and said, "I don't have a single penny on me now, and I just have lunch for lunch."

"Stop fooling around."

Wang Qingquan didn't believe his words at all, "Aren't you going to eat well someday, why don't you bring money?"

"Did you forget to bring it?"

Liu Wenqing asked: "If you use money, I have it here."

"No, someone is inviting you to dinner."

Mu Chenxi smiled at him, "Is it because the people who took the entrance exam are back, are you talking about this?"

"Not coming back."

Wang Qingquan said: "It is because we know that the results of the entrance examination are not good, and the poor students benefit from it."

"How can it be said that they benefit from it, they are one of them."

Mu Chenxi disapproved and said, "A college entrance examination is divided into low and high schools, so is the scientific examination also divided into these? Can you say that they benefit from it?"

"Because in the past, the county schools were involved, and there were no other academies, it became a representative word for Gaomen."

For the first time, Mu Chenxi felt that factorial was so serious, "Don't forget, the county school is not all the children of high-ranking families, there are also many students from ordinary families, and those who are called poor students from poor families, but they It's just too little."

"You will pay for lunch today."

After Mu Chenxi finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving him a sentence, "If the people who took the entrance exam didn't come back, you wouldn't talk about it while looking at the school dormitory. Am I right?"

He walked into the dormitory and saw ten students who had taken the entrance examination sitting.Some were downcast, some looked serious, and some were as indifferent as usual.

Mu Chenxi shook her head: If you fail once, with this appearance, how will you strive to improve in the future? Your character needs to be tempered! As for the few students who did not show any abnormalities, they are the ones who can make it to the end and show their ambitions.

One entrance exam, you can see how a person's temperament is, and you can see how far he can go in the future. This is what a word of stability brings.

Just as he was thinking about this, Jiang Haohai walked in, and all the students were immediately invigorated, and they all looked at the master attentively.

Everyone thought that he would talk about the entrance exam, comment or guide the first and second, but who knew that Jiang Haohai didn't mention a word, took out the book and continued to explain.

This behavior surprised everyone, especially those who participated in the entrance examination, no matter whether they could really stabilize at this time, they were also puzzled by Jiang Haohai's behavior.

…………

After lunch, Mu Chenxi wandered over to the teacher.

As soon as he finished his salute and sat down, Jiang Haohai asked, "What do you think of this entrance exam?"

"what?"

Mu Chenxi looked at him with puzzled eyes and said, "What's there to see, and it has nothing to do with me."

"You don't think about things that have nothing to do with you?"

Jiang Haohai was a little annoyed by him, why did he have such a naive child, "You can't think about it, the pros and cons of it, and why they have outstanding literary talents but didn't get good grades."

"Some of these students came from various counties, and some of them have taken the entrance examination many times, so they are very experienced."

Jiang Haohai felt that he was really teaching children, and told him little by little, "You have to think more about everything, and you can't say that it has nothing to do with you, so you don't think about it."

"That's so tiring!"

Mu Chenxi muttered in a low voice, "I don't take the entrance exam, I'm thinking about what to do, and I can't eat or play."

"you you."

Jiang Haohai was about to get angry when he pointed at him angrily, but when he saw Mu Chenxi's eyes that were not stained with a trace of dirt, all the anger that had just risen was extinguished immediately.

"Ugh!"

He sighed and said, "Didn't you want the imperial examination? Even if you don't participate in these things, you have to think more about it. Besides, if you want to participate, you can go next year, and no one has to stop you."

"Don't go."

Mu Chenxi refused straight away, "What are you doing there, are you being laughed at? Then I'm really stupid."

"Cough cough cough."

Jiang Haohai coughed for a while, took a few deep breaths, suppressed the sullenness in his heart, "Whoever laughed at you, you won't laugh back, just because of this trivial matter, why don't you take the entrance exam?"

"of course not."

Mu Chenxi saw that he was so angry that his face was not good, and he was angry and restrained, so he immediately showed a flattering smile, "Teacher, don't be angry, listen to me!"

"The joint entrance exam is to test what you have learned and give outstanding students an opportunity to show off their strengths. In addition, it allows students to communicate with each other, exchange and discuss knowledge, and find out their deficiencies."

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured Jiang Haohai a cup of tea, "But let's see, teacher, what does the entrance exam look like now?"

"They are all arrogant and complacent, and their thoughts and thoughts are all about becoming famous and gaining everyone's attention. What's the point of this kind of joint entrance examination, and what are the merits?"

Mu Chenxi sighed, "Whether it's the head of the academy and the teacher, or the teachers of the county school, what they focus on is competition, and what they want is grades."

"It's not wrong to say that these things are wrong, it's just that they pay too much attention to them, so that some students' minds are unstable, and it may be difficult for them to become masters in the future."

He thought for a while and then said: "No one wants to stand out, and no one doesn't want to achieve impressive results. It's just whether we can pay more attention to personal cultivation and character. Don't always use grades as a standard to measure a person."

"Ugh!"

After hearing what he said, Jiang Haohai showed a thoughtful look, and after a while he sighed helplessly: "The current situation is indeed as you said, that's all, everything is up to you!"

"I think that their failure to get good grades has nothing to do with those poor students."

Mu Chenxi saw that he understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "It's easier for them to get ahead than poor students. Everything they learn and touch is not comparable to that of poor families. There is a lot of difference in vision and teachers. I think they should learn from themselves or Look for your own shortcomings in other aspects."

"What can I find?"

Jiang Haohai said angrily: "Lack of a word of stability, lack of character, and a lot of concern about political affairs, but much worse in practical affairs. These are most of the reasons why they are not as good as students from poor families."

"Whether you are poor or high, you should work hard to make progress, and you should not become two factions."

Mu Chenxi pointedly said, "It's not good for Darong, the common people, or the students themselves."

"Ugh!"

Jiang Haohai sighed again: "You are right, but it is very difficult, it can be said that it is impossible!"
