For the past hundred years, except during the reign of Emperor Taizu, the Imperial College had always provided too many students and too few students with dormitories. Therefore, Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye, who were now unable to make ends meet, learned to shift the blame and threw the allocation of dormitories to Xu Heida of the Shengqian Hall. Xu Heida, who had already hated Zhang Shou's previous request for a dormitories, let alone ordinary students.
Therefore, as long as there were conditions, no matter whether they were academic officials or students, they were not willing to live in the Imperial College. Who would be willing to endure the cramped environment while enduring Xu Heida's seemingly omnipresent eyes
Xie Wanquan was the same. He was the youngest head of the Imperial College in history, and he was also the head of the Ruxing Hall. He was from a famous family and had unlimited glory. Since he was specially selected to study in the Imperial College, he had a wide range of friends, so he was impatient to live in the Imperial College. Although the cost of renting a house outside was a bit high, his family was well-off and many fellow merchants were willing to sponsor him, so he could still make a living.
But ever since he went to Rongshui Village and caused a scene, he had some bad luck. First he pretended to be sick to avoid trouble, then his pretended illness became real. When he came back more than two months later, he lost his position as the head of the temple. Seeing that he was in a bad situation, the merchants who had generously supported him at the beginning closed their doors to him. What frightened him the most was that his senior brother Tang Ming, who had always been nice to him, was said to have left Beijing to travel around.
Xie Wanquan certainly knew why Tang Ming hated him - because he heard about the trouble in Rongshui Village from a certain big boss, so he volunteered and dragged Tang Ming along. And that day, it was because he was embarrassed by his inappropriate words when facing Zhang Shou at Zhang's house, and was even more embarrassed by a few math problems, so Tang Ming was defeated so easily.
As for the embarrassment of their retreat after Grand Tutor Ge descended from the sky, that is needless to say. Although Tang Ming was the champion of the imperial examination, he missed the imperial examination due to illness. He will definitely take part in the imperial examination next year. He will not leave the capital to avoid the limelight, and by the way, he will find a way to improve his literary reputation. Is he going to stay in the capital and become a joke
Therefore, Xie Wanquan wanted to mediate between Yang Yiming and Zhang Shou yesterday, trying to eliminate the negative impact caused by his past stupidity, and then slowly plan for the future. However, this plan, which should have been very appropriate, was completely disrupted by the self-willed Yang Yiming, so he made such a bold decision in disappointment and despair.
Xie Wanquan could foresee the criticism, cold reception, and even suppression he would face, so he quietly packed his luggage and prepared to return home since last night. He even planned what to do after returning home. First, he would go to see his teacher, then sincerely admit his mistakes, reflect on his self-righteousness in the past three years in the capital, and then concentrate on studying and learning.
He could also learn from Zhang Shou, build a house in the countryside, teach a few farm children, and then learn to distinguish crops in his spare time, so as to avoid being scolded by people like Zhang Shou for being lazy and unable to distinguish the five grains next time.
The only worry was that although his family was relatively well-off and a well-known local landlord, his parents would be very disappointed if they had worked hard to support him to study for more than a decade and spent countless money, only to end up with such a result. And the other uncles and brothers would surely rise up to attack him. At that time, his father's position as the patriarch would be unstable.
