These young boys from the capital are all from powerful backgrounds (otherwise their families would not have the money to donate). They grew up eating the best food and drinks. In the past, they usually got together to compare what they had bought, but They had never been so shocked as they were now.
Even in the prosperous capital city, the streets would never be as clean as this village.
Moreover, this village looks like everyone is literate.
Ji Changze stood on the high building of the academy, watching from a distance these fair and tender young masters, all of them whispering to each other, looking around, and walking towards this side.
"Not bad."
He praised, and Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu who were accompanying him were stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and asked, "Did the teacher see any good ideas?"
"Oh, that's not true." Ji Changze said quite confidently: "I just think these students are quite handsome."
They are all in their teens, and have been pampered by nobles and nobles since childhood. Even if they are not good-looking, their skin is absolutely white and tender. One whiteness covers three ugliness, doesn't it make them look good
Ji Changze was quite satisfied with his new group of students.
"Okay, you two, as the first and second senior brothers, hurry up and receive them."
Among the students who came today, there are two people with relatively high status. One is the concubine of the Southeast King and the other is the son of the third princess. Although their status is not important in the royal family, they can still be used outside. of.
The son of the third princess is called Liu Yue. He is the only son of the third princess and the third prince-in-law. He has been regarded as a sweetheart since he was a child. However, the princess's son is not like a daughter and can still be granted the title of princess. If he If you want to feel comfortable forever, you have to live up to your own expectations.
The bastard of the Southeast King was even simpler. He was tall and had a very quiet temperament. He was very silent about everything he did. Along the way, everyone gathered together to chat and discuss, but he never got in the way.
But because both of them were members of the royal family, Liu Yue still liked to stay with him.
Liu Yue's temper was spoiled, and he never stopped to complain along the way. At one moment, he was sad that he had to be sent to this place, at another, he was worried that the gentlemen in the academy would beat and scold others, and at another, he was worried that the gentlemen in the academy would beat and scold others. I am afraid that I will never learn and will stay here forever.
"I heard that the academy is going to lock us up for a year. During this year, we won't even be allowed to send letters, let alone go out to restaurants. Hey, I really don't want to read. It would be even harder for me to read."
Wan Xingke, the concubine of the Southeast King, remained silent.
As a concubine, he naturally had many options. Even though his father was a prince, life in the mansion was still difficult. This time he was able to come to the academy because he was the father whom his aunt had begged for in every possible way.
At least there was some affection along the way. Wan Xingke said to Liu Yue: "Instead of thinking wildly, it is better to study hard."
"What should we study? Our family background is enough to provide us with food and clothing for a lifetime, so why should we force ourselves?"
Wan Xingke: "If people like us can really rely on our parents for food and clothing for our entire lives, how can we be sent out to study?"
Liu Yue stopped talking.
Wanxingke is right.
Those who can really live a lifetime without worries, none of them have been sent here.
They are the darlings of their parents. If they didn't know clearly that their children must stand up on their own, who would be willing to send such an older boy to a remote mountain village.
Although this small mountain village doesn't look very remote at the moment.
The young boys tightened their nerves and refused to show curiosity. They walked forward carefully one by one, quietly observing everything in the village.
Not everyone in this village wears new clothes, but they seem to be more energetic than the people in the capital.
And none of them showed any signs of flinching. When they saw them, they all stood there and looked at them openly, showing neither flattery nor timidity on their faces.
Strange.
However, Wan Xingke saw the mystery after taking a few glances, and said to Liu Yue: "They are all very clean. It seems that they wash frequently."
The biggest difference between the poor and the powerful is that the children of the powerful have to take a shower and wash their hands every day, but the poor are different. They are busy with their lives every day, and they have no time to spare. After a busy day, they are already tired and fall into bed at night. I don't have the energy to wash up anymore.
"It really is."
Liu Yue wanted to crane his neck to see what these people were doing. He was even more shocked when he found out that the old lady's writing was really real.
Is it possible that the people in this village are not really literate
When they arrived at the entrance of the college, it was Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu who stood there to greet them.
For these two culprits who had forced them to come all the way to study here, many young masters were filled with hatred when they saw them. However, when Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu glanced over, their aura disappeared inexplicably.
There was no way, these two people were not only very knowledgeable, but also more skilled than all of them put together. The news of their perfect shooting accuracy spread throughout the capital.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, no one said it to their face.
"Hello everyone, you are tired today, so we won't start school. The teacher asked us to take you around to get familiar with the school, and we will start studying again tomorrow."
Isn't it just an academy? There's nothing to see here. I'm exhausted after a long day's work. Who still has the energy to visit the academy
The young masters sighed, but the two seniors above pretended not to hear them and took them to visit the academy without changing their expressions.
"This is a school for studying."
Zhang Yuanwen pushed open the door of the school and pointed to the whiteboard behind the podium: "This is the whiteboard. During lectures, the teacher will write the content on it with a black pen for the students below to see."
He casually wrote a word on it, and then wiped it off with a special tool: "Easy to wipe, and easy to correct mistakes."
This is something new.
The young men became a little more interested this time and looked at the new gadget with great interest.
Someone asked: "Why is this podium so much higher than other places?"
Zhang Yuanwu replied: "Stand high and you can see far. The podium is where gentlemen stand. If you stand high, you can clearly see who is not good at listening and studying below. Students, don't worry, no matter what you are doing below." You can see it clearly, sir, and will definitely help you study well."
Young men: "..."
They looked at Zhang Yuanwu standing above them in disbelief. They really didn't expect that the two of them were so handsome and could say such heartbreaking words.
Some people didn't believe it and quietly came forward.
As a result, when I stood up and found out that this was really the case, I suddenly became disheartened.
It is conceivable that in the future, I will not even be able to avoid being lazy in class.
The group of people had just visited a classroom and they were already wilting. Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu seemed to have not seen it. Anyway, they were not learning. They were wilting when they were wilting.
"This is a place for learning etiquette and music. There are countless musical instruments inside, which are shared by students."
"This is a laboratory, mainly used for studying chemistry."
"Etc., etc."
Liu Yue couldn't help but ask: "What is chemistry?"
He looked at the strange things in this room with doubtful eyes. These things seemed to be made of glass, but they were all transparent.
Colored glaze is expensive, so this thing shouldn’t be colored glaze, so what exactly is it
Zhang Yuanwen thought for a while, stepped forward, picked up the instrument, and mixed some things together. The originally calm liquid bubbled up and flowed out directly, and some flowed on the table. He handed the paper on the side to passed.
—With a bang, the paper was ignited.
All the students were so frightened that they all screamed and backed away.
Then they watched with confused eyes as Zhang Yuanwen picked up a measuring cup and held the paper upside down without changing his expression. The fire could only be slowly extinguished without air.
After it went out, Zhang Yuanwen put down the measuring cup and clapped his hands nonchalantly: "This is chemistry."
The young men were all frightened.
"You want us to learn this? What if we get burned?"
"Why should we learn this kind of thing? Can't we just study articles?"
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu don’t know either.
But if the teacher asks them to learn, they have to learn.
So they pretended not to hear and walked straight outside.
"This is a horse farm, used for riding lessons."
"This is the playground, used for physical education classes."
"And here, this garden is specially made for you to take swimming lessons."
After walking around, the faces of the young men were all very ugly.
No wonder they had to be allowed to go home or go out. If they had to learn all these things, they might not even have a place to eat and sleep. Even the Imperial College had never heard of having to learn so many things.
The group of people were led to the rest area with livid faces.
The parents of these people are all wealthy fathers, so Ji Changze cannot treat them lightly. The dormitories are all two-person rooms, which guarantee spaciousness and privacy.
No matter how much space the two young men can use, the cheapest thing for them is the land.
"This is the dormitory, two people per room. There are only five courtyards at the moment. Each courtyard can accommodate fifty people. You are the first batch of students. There are no other students enrolled yet. You can choose your own room."
The number of students who came happened to be an even number, and everyone got to know each other along the way and started to form their own teams.
Liu Yue and Wan Xingke teamed up together.
The house they chose was next to the bamboo forest. They opened the door and went in with their luggage. The house was very tidy. The beds, tables and chairs on both sides were exactly the same, and even the way they were placed was exactly the same.
There were windows on both sides, made of glass they had seen before in the chemistry lab.
Liu Yue initially felt weak and wished he could cry out, but when he discovered that the window was made of glass, his expression immediately became energetic. He ran over with great interest, leaned close to the window and carefully stretched out his hand to touch the transparent glass. of glass.
"Although this is not colored glaze, it is still a good thing. If it were sent to the capital and I didn't know how much it would be sold for, it would be sent directly to the dormitory where we live to make windows."
This was the first time Liu Yue saw this kind of window that even if it was closed, the sunlight and light from the outside could shine in. He was very excited for a while, and after seeing enough, he started wandering around the house again.
"This bed is quite strong and has guardrails. Are you afraid that we will fall?"
"Why are there so many small drawers on this table? It's so fun."
"Why is there a small room behind this screen? Doesn't it mean that we two sleep in the same room?"
Liu Yue groped around and found his way behind the screen. He opened the door and looked at the pool inside and the squatting pit next to it. He was a little confused for a moment.
He had been pampered since he was a child. He always used the best toilet bucket when he went to the toilet. He didn't have to deal with it after using it. The servants took him out to clean it immediately.
So he really didn't know this squat.
"Xingke, come and see, what is this?"
Wan Xingke heard the noise and came over. When he saw the squatting pit, he frowned slightly in confusion. Fortunately, when he turned his eyes, he found a piece of paper attached to the strange box-sized thing behind the squatting pit.
He reached out and took the paper down. After reading it, he looked a little confused.
"It says here that it has the same effect as the Gongtong."
"What???"
Liu Yue was shocked and looked at the squatting pit below in disbelief: "They want us to go out here?? In this pit?? They don't even give us a toilet bucket? Then why wait until we go to the toilet? How about waving? Disposal??”
Wanxingke was also a little shocked.
Even if he is a bastard, he will not clean up the filth himself.
He quickly took the piece of paper and read it carefully up and down. After reading it carefully this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. After looking around the water tank behind the squat toilet, he reached out and pressed the button on it. button.
Water immediately rushed out from behind.
Liu Yue, who was muttering just now that this thing couldn't possibly work, immediately closed his mouth when he saw this scene and looked up and down in surprise.
"You can press here to release water? How did you do this? No wonder there is only a small pit here without a bucket. It's so amazing. I have never seen such a good thing in the Queen's Palace."
Wanxingke thought of something again and turned to look at the faucet on the basin. There was also a piece of paper stuck on it. He picked up the paper and read it, then stretched out his hand and turned on the faucet. Sure enough, clear water came out directly.
"There is such a skilled craftsman who can make water flow out of here."
Liu Yue heard his sigh and hurriedly came over to take a look. He was shocked again when he saw this scene.
"How is this made? How much water can be stored in it? There is something special about this academy."
His previous gloominess was gone, and he just felt that looking around was fun.
Wanxingke, on the other hand, looked at the faucet silently.
Because of his status as a concubine, he had never been able to see the light of day, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Perhaps, this academy will be the place that changes his life.
****
The academy officially opened, and Ji Changze had named the academy Zhulin Academy.
Yes, it is called Bamboo Forest Academy because there is a bamboo forest. It is so simple and crude.
There were also many students who complained about the name, but most of them were attracted by the various novel objects in the academy. When their parents donated money before, they thought the academy was very poor. It's poverty.
Mr. Ji can make a lot of money even if he takes out something from the academy and sells it outside.
Why didn't he sell it
Naturally, it is because he is no longer interested in fame and fortune, and is no longer interested in money.
I couldn't blame my parents for sending them here, and they always insisted that Mr. Ji was a real hermit.
For Mr. Ji, who knows when he can go home, all the students are better behaved than kittens. They are not stupid. If he offends the dean, if he writes a letter back, his cruel parents may return the favor. It really makes them unable to return home for another two years.
The academy officially opened classes, and the students began a happy (painful) life.
Whatever little tricks you do down there, the gentlemen above can see clearly.
If they are found not doing well in class, they will not be punished or scolded, but will be put on the list of general cleaning. When the time comes for the lunch break, other students will sleep comfortably, and they will Scanning the entire academy with a frown.
It also includes public toilets in the college.
Public toilets can also be flushed, but they are public after all. In terms of cleanliness, they are definitely not as clean as dormitory toilets shared by two students. Therefore, many students would rather wait until class is over and rush all the way to their dormitories to solve the problem. Go to a public restroom.
Ji Changze also knows this. After all, he is a son of a powerful person, and it is normal to have a little love for cleanliness. As long as they run fast, they can do whatever they want.
But it was precisely this that made Ji Changze discover what they were afraid of.
Not listening to the class well? OK, go wash the toilet.
Lazy and skipping class? OK, go wash the toilet.
Trying to escape over the wall? OK, go wash the toilet.
After two weeks, this group of students have become as stubborn as salted fish that have lost their dreams.
As usual, Ji Changze took two of his students to discuss what to do next after the meeting.
"After destroying their spirit, the next step is to give them some benefits. Give them a stick and a sweet date. They are young. After doing this a few times, they will naturally behave."
Zhang Yuanwen Zhang Yuanwu: "..."
They stared at their teacher, and finally realized belatedly: "Teacher, was this the same when you taught us?"
"Hit a stick to a sweet date."
"At that time, you were just playing tricks on us."
"Take us hunting in the mountains just for Tianzao."
"Maybe praising us for being smart is sweet."
Seeing the two students talking to each other with great enthusiasm, Ji Changze remained calm and showed no guilt: "You are really smart. As a teacher, you are just telling the truth."
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu: "... So it really hit us with a stick and gave us a sweet date."
Ji Changze yawned: "Suddenly I feel sleepy. I'm going to take a nap as a teacher. You should work hard and be attentive and serious to these juniors. When you enter the officialdom in the future, you will have to look after each other."
"correct."
After taking two steps, he came back: "Just in case, remember to instigate them more and let them divide into as many camps as possible. Otherwise, if the relationship is too good, it will be difficult to become an official in the court in the future."
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu understood the meaning of these words as soon as they heard it.
These students have not yet discovered that their knowledge is increasing rapidly. It is not only written knowledge, but also a lot of practical knowledge. This knowledge is enough for them to serve well as officials after they are admitted to the imperial examination.
But it is not a good thing for students to be too good.
They are all classmates. When the time comes, they will enter the court together in large numbers. The friendship of eating and living together is there, and the relationship will naturally be very good.
Your Majesty will be unhappy by then.
What do so many people want to do when they vent their anger through one nostril and still have such good feelings
Therefore, the best way is to draw clear camps for them, then target each other and compete with each other. The target is whether the other party has done bad things, and the competition is to see who has done more practical things for the people and the world.
Perfect.
It is too easy to divide the camps.
The flamboyant one and the silent one don't like each other.
Both high-status and low-status people dislike each other.
Those who like to study martial arts and those who like to study literature don't like each other.
Etc., etc.
It's too simple.
Students who are studying hard do not know that their future lives have been fully arranged, and even political opponents can make arrangements for them.
The students gradually adapted to the life of studying in Zhulin Academy. It must be said that although they found studying very hard at first, they still liked studying at Zhulin Academy very much.
After all, the academy not only cultivates their knowledge. Although the learning tasks are heavy, it does not force them to study hard all the time. They play when they should play and rest when they should rest. There are a lot of fun things in the physical education class, and Cuju is the favorite of the students. s things.
In the past, when they were in the capital, they would be scolded if they wanted to play. These things would hinder their studies. But now, it is better. This is a serious course in the school. If they want to play, they can also play openly and compete openly.
Whether it is study or sports, the winning side can make a small request to Mr. Ji.
In the first Cuju competition, the winner was a fifteen-year-old boy.
He excitedly told Ji Changze that he wanted to go shopping in the city and buy some things.
Ji Changze rejected him quite gently, but settled for the next best thing and allowed him to go to town and have to come back before dark.
The young boy walked out with his head held high under the envious gaze of everyone. When he came back, he was followed by two people pushing a cart, with roast chicken wrapped in oil paper placed on the cart.
That's right, he didn't do anything outside during this precious day. He just ate and drank all day long. After eating, he packed so much for his classmates to eat.
These children will definitely not be hungry in the academy. They have all the food and drink they should have, and all the nutrients they should have. However, chicken is usually stewed chicken. It is too troublesome to cook chicken and there is no time to cook it, because these students have been there for a long time. I’ve never had roast chicken before.
Even if I didn't like to eat it before, now my eyes are full of green light when I see roast chicken.
Everyone rushed forward and expressed their great gratitude and admiration to the students who were eating and taking food.
This day is the most beautiful day in this fifteen-year-old boy's memory.
Everyone thanked him, everyone said they admired him, were envious that he could go out, and were grateful that he brought food to everyone.
He was so happy all day long until night, sleeping on his own bed. Before going to bed, he was so happy that he wanted to get first place in Cuju next time.
With the first person to eat crabs, the students became excited from the next day. They all studied hard and took physical education classes very seriously.
Ji Changze was happy to see this.
Isn't this the result he wants
As a result, various competitions began one after another in the academy.
What about drawing contests, article writing contests, poetry reciting contests, etc.
The academy is becoming more and more lively day by day, and the selected ones, one, two, three, and four, in addition to making a small request, can also write letters home, and the academy will help send them out.
By now, these victors no longer want to leave the academy.
The letters they wrote home also boasted about themselves. More than half of the space was spent describing how they succeeded, what requests they made, and how envious their classmates looked at them.
After that, I will tell you, parents, don’t worry, I will definitely get you the first one back.
This is the time when young people at this age can cultivate their three views. Ji Changze does not expect to teach these people to become old foxes. It is enough to have one or two wily and calculating people in the court. If everyone takes one step, it will be counted as a hundred steps. Don’t die randomly.
He only gave these young people the correct outlook on life.
You can be arrogant, you can be lazy, you can not want to learn and just want to be an old man for the rest of your life, but you can't have bad intentions, and you can't harm others for your own selfish gain.
Wrong is wrong, right is right. If there is anyone with evil intentions, get out of here as soon as possible.
As a result, gentlemen with comprehensive moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic development were released.
Seeing that the time was almost up and they all adapted to this place, Ji Changze began to announce the enrollment for the whole country.
Enrolling students at this time, on the one hand, these young gentlemen have learned the basics, and they can help educate the younger students when they come. On the other hand, they were afraid of conflicts between the rich and powerful children and poor students. Most of the children from poor backgrounds are They won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but that's not necessarily the case for these young masters.
Things are different now. The young men all have a straight-up outlook on life. Their focus is on looking at a person first and who they are, instead of looking at themselves first.
Although they are still a little arrogant, it doesn't matter. As long as they don't cause trouble, there is no need to force them to lower their bodies.
The conditions for admission were quickly listed.
No charge, food and accommodation included.
The age must be greater than ten years old and less than forty years old.
All you need to do is sign that if you are admitted to the academy, 1% of your salary will be donated to the academy every year for the next three years.
As the news spread, a large number of students flocked to the place.
Most of them come from poor families and cannot support their studies.
The reputation of Zhulin Academy came about because its dean, Ji Changze, taught two successful candidates in a short period of time.
Key point: These two people were only eleven years old when they were admitted to the Juren Examination, and before they were sent to Mr. Ji, they knew absolutely nothing.
Such gentlemen, not to mention those from poor families, even those whose families are not short of money want to come.
However, there is no sponsor father standing behind these people. The academy is so big that it is impossible for everyone to accept it. Ji Changze said when he went out that he would look at the qualifications, study level and foundation. After all, this is not a teaching. If a group of people have a good foundation, but they can't recognize two or three characters, how can they be taught and divided into classes
Ji Changze made it clear at the beginning and set the deadline for registration, but students still came here in waves. People in the village had been greeted by Ji Changze before, so they all packed up their homes. He started setting up a stall again to sell food, and he started collecting money for people to stay.
The road is far away, and many poor students no longer have money to rent a house or buy food. At this time, they can live in a temporary bamboo house built by Ji Changze. The environment is definitely not as good as the villagers' houses, in terms of food and drink. It’s also cruder, but they’re already grateful.
Zhang Zhiwen is one of the poor students living in this small bamboo house.
He is twenty years old this year, and he is also an unlucky guy. His family has worked hard to support him in his education. He is also a talented person. He was already sure of being admitted to the Tongsheng Examination at a young age. He was supposed to rush for the exam, but the world was in chaos. At that time, the war was in turmoil. Let alone studying, it would be nice to not be hungry. A lot of knowledge was naturally wasted.
Later, the new king came to the throne and the world was initially settled. As the eldest son of the family, it was already bad for him if he did not make money, let alone use the family's money to continue his studies. The family could not afford the cost of repairs. Zhang Zhiwen had already given up and planned to I was going to be a bookkeeper honestly, but I didn't expect to hear the news about Zhulin Academy right after.
After all, Zhang Zhiwen was still unwilling to accept that his years of hard study had come to nothing, so he gritted his teeth and discussed it with his parents before coming.
He was too embarrassed to take any more money from the family, so he carried the bread on his back, packed the package by himself, and just walked all the way on one pair of legs. When he was hungry, he ate the bread, and when he was thirsty, he drank water from the creek on the roadside. At night Either sleep in a ruined temple, or find a tree to climb up.
It can be said that he has gone through a lot of hard work to get here. He heard that the knowledge test would start tomorrow. He was afraid that he would not pass the test, and he hurriedly started to recall what he had learned before.
This is his last chance, and he must seize it.
The person sleeping next to Zhang Zhiwen was also a poor student. After meeting, the two just introduced each other's family names, and they didn't talk to each other after that. Now he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he saw Zhang Zhiwen mumbling words, he didn't speak, and kept waiting for Zhang Zhiwen to say. After he finished, he whispered: "Brother Zhang, I just went out for a walk to inquire about the specific situation of Zhulin Academy, and then I found out that there are already a group of students in the academy, and their parents all donated money when the academy was established. All of them are children of powerful people, do you think if we enter the academy, will they reject us and look down on us?"
He spoke vaguely, but Zhang Zhiwen understood what he meant.
Zhang Zhiwen went to school in the county when he was a child. It was just a small school. The students from well-off families were already looking down on the children from poor families. He looks down on poor students and tries to bully them.
This is true for wealthy students in a small county town, not to mention that these students are all from the capital. I heard that most of the elders in the family are officials in the court. The second generation of officials must be more confident than the second generation of rich people.
Zhang Zhiwen smiled bitterly: "Don't think too much. The academy is just a place to study. If you are lucky enough to get in, just study hard."
In his heart, he actually felt that there might be bullying in the academy.
But he also made up his mind.
No matter what happens, even if he is laughed at or teased by others, if he can really study in the academy, he must grit his teeth and persevere. If he cannot study, his parents' efforts and hard study will be in vain. .
The night passed peacefully, and Zhang Zhiwen opened his eyes early the next morning. He didn't sleep well all night, and he was always pretentious. One moment, he was thinking about what to do after passing the exam, and the other moment, he was thinking about what to do if he passed the exam. No matter how he should go back and face the ardent eyes of his relatives.
The group of people was brought to the academy playground, where tables and chairs had been set up. Everyone took their seats carefully. Zhang Zhiwen naturally did the same. After he sat down a little awkwardly, he looked up and looked around. The first thing he saw was sitting in the front. The young man facing them.
He was wearing a gray robe and had a handsome face. He was holding a little baby in his arms and coaxing him. Standing next to him were two boys of eleven or twelve years old. Although they were young, they looked at him with grace. They were talking in a low voice to the young boy holding the baby. What are people saying.
Strange, isn’t this an examination room? Why did that person come with a baby in his arms, and no one said anything.
Only later did Zhang Zhiwen find out that the person holding the baby was none other than Ji Changze, the mountain chief of the academy. In his arms was the daughter of the Ji family. Naturally, the two standing next to him were the two very famous junior ministers.
The bell rang, and the test paper was handed out on the table by the invigilator. Zhang Zhiwen took a deep breath and looked at the test paper carefully. After a rough glance, he breathed a sigh of relief. The content on it was indeed basic. It seemed that he could Get in.
Ji Changze hugged his sweet daughter and coaxed her to sleep, then raised his head to carefully observe the candidates in the room.
He stared at Zhang Zhiwen with squinted eyes for a while, then turned his head and said to the two apprentices: "Look at that young man wearing pudding and moon-colored clothes with a gray cloth rope on his head."
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu looked over and didn't see anything: "Teacher, what's wrong with him? He looks normal."
"He seems to be a thoughtful person. He is confident when he writes. His demeanor seems to be good. I think he is a good prospect. If he gets in, you should deal with him well. If he is really smart, I will accept him as my third disciple. .”
Zhang Yuanwen and Zhang Yuanwu suddenly realized.
Zhang Yuanwu asked: "Teacher, didn't you say before that teaching students was too troublesome and you didn't want to teach anymore? Why did you change your mind again?"
"Yes, teaching students is too troublesome, so I don't teach."
Ji Changze was quite confident: "I will accept my disciples, and you will teach me my disciples."
Zhang Yuanwen; "..."
Zhang Yuanwu: "..."
Ji Changze handed his daughter over to them, then got up and went for a walk. When he came back, he sighed: "This one also has the surname Zhang. It seems that you are destined to be together. It is indeed right to leave her to you."
Two apprentices: "..."
Zhang Zhiwen was immersed in writing just now, but he didn't notice that someone came to see him. After finishing it in one breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After he put down his pen and finished checking, he was about to check again when he noticed that in the woods in the distance, some students in school uniforms were looking over. When he saw that he had discovered it, the one in front of him glared fiercely. He glanced.
Zhang Zhiwen's heart skipped a beat.
He guessed that these were the children of powerful people.
Now it seems that he is not very friendly.
Just hope they don't go too far.
Zhang Zhiwen successfully entered the school. While he was happy, he was also wary of those powerful disciples doing something. But what reassured him was that these younger senior brothers only glared at him when they met. Never done anything.
He was still cautious. After taking the first exam after entering school, Zhang Zhiwen ranked second.
Miraculously, after he passed the exam, the attitude of the powerful disciples changed drastically. They greeted him with smiles when they saw him, which made Zhang Zhiwen frightened for a time, thinking that they were setting up a trap.
He has long heard that the more powerful a family is, the less they regard ordinary people. After all, there are people in their family who are protecting them, and even if big things are revealed, they may not be able to cover it up.
These junior brothers had clearly rejected him before, but now their attitude has changed drastically. I am afraid there is really a conspiracy.
Not only Zhang Zhiwen thought so, some of the poor disciples in the academy were also a little afraid of what these junior brothers would do.
After all, ever since Zhang Zhiwen entered school, these junior brothers have always looked at him with a nose that is not his nose or eyes. Especially during physical education class, they would always look at Zhang Zhiwen with critical eyes, and then look disgusted. Look back.
Obviously the others were from poor families like Zhang Zhiwen, but I had never seen them behave like that.
When he was thinking wildly, the junior senior brother who got the first place in the exam went out and brought back a bunch of food. He even delivered it to Zhang Zhiwen himself. Zhang Zhiwen looked at the big chicken drumstick in front of him and didn't know whether he should eat it or not.
What if... there's a laxative sprinkled on it.
He finally asked, asking why the younger senior brothers seemed to be so unhappy with him, and whether it was because he had done something bad that offended the senior brothers.
The little senior brother who just got the first place in the exam smiled casually: "No, it's just that the commander seems to admire you very much. They are afraid that you will steal my first place, so I can't go out to bring them anything. After all, you look like You are weak. The mountain leader stipulates that students who go out must come back on their own. Your health is not good, and you can't bring back too much for everyone to share. They just hate that iron cannot become steel. You don't have to feel sad. Have a good time. In physical education class, practice more physical strength, and they will naturally like you."
Zhang Zhiwen, who was fully prepared to be rejected: "..."
He had thought hard and been frightened for so long, and this was the result? That's it?
The promised arrogant and domineering rich and powerful people turned out to be...a bunch of stupid people who only want to eat?
