A car accident, our family of three crossed

Zhou Ting, who had been watching the show from beginning to end, finally spoke up at this moment. With a scornful smile on his lips, he said with a tut-tut sound, "It turns out that the rumors circulating in the county a while ago were all true. I originally thought it was some misunderstanding, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it really opened my eyes."

"Is this all you learned while studying at Hongyuan Academy? It seems that Hongyuan Academy still needs to improve in terms of teaching and educating people!"

"W-who are you?"

If those words were said by Hang Shuheng, Mei Yaosheng would definitely refute them regardless of whether they were reasonable or not. However, the person who said that was someone standing next to Hang Shuheng, and this person looked extraordinary, not like Hang Shuheng, who was from a poor family.

Mei Yaosheng had suffered a lot of losses recently, so he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows and began to introduce himself, "My name is Zhou Ting, a student of the White Deer Academy in the capital, and also the young master of the Jubao Pavilion."

After hearing about Zhou Ting's strong background, the students around him couldn't help but look up to him and bowed to him.

"Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you!"

"Everyone, nice to meet you!"

Hang Shuheng watched him perform and simply added: "What you don't know is that Brother Zhou Ting has passed the examination and ranked among the top ten."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping in the hall.

Soon, students from nearby gathered around Zhou Ting and started discussing academic matters with him.

Mei Yaosheng was so embarrassed that he left the poetry reading in disgrace like a clown.

Seeing this, the others didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, they greeted Hang Shuheng and the others, then found a place to stay, waiting for the poetry reading to begin.

Li Chengan stayed and exchanged a few more words with Hang Shuheng before leaving to spend time with some classmates.

They had agreed to come together to attend the poetry reading today, so it would be inconvenient for him to go alone.

Originally, the few people did not call Mei Yaosheng, but unexpectedly, they ran into that guy halfway.

And that self-satisfied Master Mei really didn't seem to notice that everyone was intentionally distancing themselves from him. He always liked to catch up with others when he had nothing to do, but he always acted superior in front of his classmates, which was really annoying.

Now, it's better that he was squeezed out. This way, they can stay here more comfortably and don't have to endure the contemptuous looks from others.

You know, when the Mei Yaosheng incident first spread in the county a while ago, they didn't even dare to leave the academy openly, and they all climbed over the wall secretly.

On the street, he didn't dare to wander around in the Hongyuan Academy student uniform, otherwise he would become the target of people's pointing and talking. At that moment, he would be as embarrassed as he could be.

"Li Chengan, I didn't expect that you and Hang Shuheng are actually quite close."

A classmate said curiously that in the past, when Hang Shuheng was still in the academy, they did not have much contact with Hang Shuheng.

Later, Hang Shuheng was the only one among his group of students who took the examination for the title of Tongsheng in the academy.

At that time, when they wanted to have more contact with Hang Shuheng, they didn't expect that he would suddenly leave the academy. It was heard that he has not been enrolled in another academy to study until now. They didn't know if there was any inconvenience at home.

"Why did he leave the academy in the first place?" another classmate continued.

Although they are not well educated, they are not stupid. There must be something fishy here.

"I think there must be some misunderstanding between Brother Hang and Master Cao. Do you remember the incident with the eldest young master of the Wan family? At that time, all the students in the city were seeking justice for Brother Hang, but the master did not allow us to go. I always feel that Master Cao seems to have some hostility towards Brother Hang." Li Chengan whispered his thoughts.

The others thought it was true and pondered for a long time in silence. Suddenly, one of them seemed to have discovered some shocking secret and said mysteriously, "What do you think? Master, is it possible that if you keep Hang Shuheng, he will pass the imperial examination and surpass him in the future?"

Although Dean Cao is the dean of the academy, he is also the teacher who teaches them. After getting to know each other for a long time, they probably have some understanding of what kind of person the teacher is.

Their teacher was very narrow-minded. It was not impossible that he really excluded his students because he was afraid of being outshined by them.

Dean Cao is just a scholar. It is said that he has taken exams for many years but has never passed. I am afraid there is no hope for him to make further progress in this life.

If at this time, a very talented student suddenly appeared and passed the examination as a tongsheng right at the start, there is no guarantee that he would not pass the examination as a xiucai next time.

This is not a big deal. What I am afraid of is that in the future, the master and the student will enter the examination room together, and the student will be on the list while the master will fail. In this case, with Master Cao's petty character, I am afraid he will not be able to bear such humiliation.

The more they speculated, the more they felt it was true. At the same time, they reached a consensus that no one should tell anyone about this matter, and they must not let the speculation reach the teacher, otherwise they would be expelled from the academy.

For people like them who don't have a good family background and are not good at studying, it is great to have an academy willing to accept them.

If they were expelled from the academy for any reason, not only would their reputation be bad, but other academies might not be willing to accept them.

In order to host this Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival, Wanjuan Bookstore invited students from almost all over the city to exchange ideas and discuss with each other.

Many students do come here to exchange academic ideas, but there are also a few who come just to see the world and join in the fun.

For example, Li Chengan and others came here just to see the world, but as for reciting poems and composing these elegant things, with their current abilities, they are still not up to the task.

The most popular person in this poetry reading was Zhou Ting.

Coming from the famous Bailu Academy in the capital, and with such a strong family background, many people would be willing to get closer to him if given the chance.

Some people who don't know the situation might think that he is just the son of a merchant. Even if he can study in the capital, it is only because his family is rich. It can't change the fact that he came from a merchant family.

But there were some families who knew about the situation. When they received the invitation to the poetry competition, their elders analyzed the power and background of each family with them and told them how to respond.

Therefore, when everyone heard the name Zhou Ting, many people knew that this was the descendant from the Zhou family in the capital mentioned by the elders in the family.

Given their family background, even if you can't be close friends with such people, you must never make enemies with them.
