The Ideal Son-in-Law

Chapter 493: Seek common ground while reserving differences

Views:

The first-year students of the Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial College had no idea what a lively scene it was on the day of the rematch at Xinglong Tea House. This was because the selection of the head of the hall had given them a very big problem. The most important thing was that the third prince, who was the most qualified to suppress everyone in terms of status and position, was excluded from the list of candidates by Zhang Shou!

However, except for the third prince who was a minor, everyone else was an adult. Three cobblers can still be better than one Zhuge Liang. After someone raised his hand and a whole morning of noise, the head of the temple was finally elected.

After a very lively lunch, Zhang Shou came back from the Xinglong Tea House in the outer city. When he quietly walked to the gate of Jiuzhang Hall, he found that the hall was not empty, but full of people. Ji Jiuzheng, who was standing in the middle of the podium, asked word by word, "Anyone object to Article 9? If you object, please raise your hands. If you don't object, it will be passed!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile, and it felt like a modern meeting - if you ask everyone to raise their hands, maybe not everyone will raise their hands; but if you ask everyone to raise their hands, most of the time no one will bother to come out and oppose and stand against everyone. From this point of view, Ji Jiu is another kind of genius.

"Okay, in that case, we'll pass these nine points and set them as the rules for the first grade of Jiuzhang Hall. Of course, we still have to abide by the rules of the Imperial College. Xu Heizi from the Shengqian Hall was watching us choose the head of the hall for a whole morning. He always likes to find fault, so everyone should always pay attention..."

Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Jiu's tone, which was exactly the same as Lu Sanlang's, about preventing fire, theft and Xu Heizi. But when he found that there was no objection and no laughter, he couldn't help but wonder if Xu Heizi's arrival in the morning had brought a lot of psychological pressure to these students.

Then, Ji Jiu made a suggestion that surprised him greatly: "Zheng Rong is young, but I think that you don't need to take care of him too much. He was very good at taking care of himself when he was in Banshan Hall. I suggest that if the teacher can't take care of the class and needs someone to substitute, if we need to recommend someone from our grade to substitute, we should start with him first."

The panicked voice of the Third Prince followed: "Me? No, no, I can't do it. It's you, Ji Zhaizhang..."

Before the Third Prince could finish his words, Ji Jiu interrupted him: "Zheng Rong, have you forgotten the admission interview? Your questions made us almost doubt our lives... Don't use the teacher's questions as excuses. I was also a student of Banshan Hall, but I don't remember it as clearly as you do."

"Besides, the first person to speak has the least psychological burden, because no one can compare with you, so you can just show off all your abilities. Besides, isn't it also the rule for teachers to interview people according to their age?"

The Third Prince was speechless after hearing Ji Jiu's words. After a long while, he finally replied, "Well, I'll try. Just don't laugh at me... But I think we shouldn't wait until the teacher needs someone to substitute for the class before we make this kind of preparation. In fact, the teaching materials are ready. We can preview them in advance, and then take turns to explain them to everyone. If the explanation is not clear, we can ask the teacher to come forward."
