After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

The students who were watching in the dormitory had not yet dispersed. There were members of the Fengyun Society, the Jifeng Society, the players of the football competition, members of Fu Zijing's Gudi Poetry Society, and some people who knew Yingge and those who didn't. They all gathered together in a noisy and chaotic crowd.

"To be able to write a poem that is praised by the prefect must be a very talented person."

"She practiced so hard in hiding her identity before, wasn't it just for this moment, to become famous all over the world, oh, no, to be known in Mocheng."

Fu Zijing smiled but said nothing. His family's education and views on Confucianism had taught him that he would never judge a person easily.

In short, a person with such a clever mind should be kept by Mr. Zichun this time.

Liu Ziheng's eyes were sharp and he exclaimed, "It came out so soon."

Before Su Qinghe, Su Qingyu and Fu Zijing stepped forward, Yingge was already surrounded.

"Yingge, how about Ersanlang this time? Do you need to do it three more times to study?"

"It's going to be alright this time, right?"

Zhu Nian took action first this time. He grabbed Yingge's arm and said, "It's okay this time, there must be no problem, right?" After saying that, he winked at Yingge, indicating that I know you have actually studied here for a long time, I will keep it a secret for you, don't worry.

Yingge smiled and said, "Sure."

There was immediate cheering all around.

"Humph, what a pity, she is not the master's student!" explained the servant who followed behind.

As soon as the little servant finished speaking, there was a sudden silence at the scene. Seeing that everyone was very curious, the servant told everyone about the bet between Yingge and Mr. Zichun.

Su Qinghe waved the fan in his hand and said, "It is true. This person is really interesting. Very interesting."

He had met so many interesting people, and the one who could hold on to the end was the winner. Fu Zijing said nothing, looked at Yingge who was considered to be in the middle, and turned and walked out. Not all people were worthy of his attention.

This time the news spread very quickly. Before people even left the mountain, the students outside the academy had already known about it.

"First the top scholar, then the county exam, these are all the things that have failed. If they can't be completed in the end and nothing is achieved, it will be a joke..."

"Who says it isn't?"

Xue and Chunqiao who were waiting at the foot of the mountain naturally knew about this, and they both looked worried.

Yingge leaned over to whisper something in Xue's ear. "Don't worry, it's okay. I will definitely pass the exam. You don't have to worry, mother."

"If I never pass the exam, won't I continue to study this book? Then Master Liu will have no reason to drive us away."

Xue said she understood and patted Yingge's shoulder knowingly.

"Just make your own plans."

The farce of the day finally calmed down. At night, Yingge lay on the bed as usual, reciting the article she had learned during the day. There was movement at the door of the mixed living quarters again. It was Xue. She went out again tonight.

Yingge went to Liu Wenru's bedroom again, just like last time, and got the same answer as last time, that the couple were still resting. So who did Xue go out to meet?

How come I never knew that Xue would go out often before? When did this start? Yingge recalled that it seemed to be when she started school.

Who was the person that Xue was meeting every night? At this moment, a serious face naturally emerged in Yingge's mind, and she was shocked. No way, why was it him, Mr. Zichun?

If Xue knew that Yingge had such thoughts, she would definitely be shocked standing in front of Mr. Zichun at this moment.

"Sir, did you embarrass her again during the day? Why didn't she treat you as a student this time?"

"What do you mean by difficult? It's not something that can be improved overnight. This child has a bad character."

"Really? She didn't have that when she was with us."

"Humph, a woman's kindness."

"Even if she has a bad temper, it's normal."

"Rotten wood cannot be carved."

"Oh, then you will have to put more thought into it in the future, sir."

"Well, no matter what, this child will be under my management from now on. I will teach her well in the future."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something.

"Lü Gong is coming."

"I know, she's a boy now, it's okay."

"That's not what I meant. Even if she's not a boy, it shouldn't be a big problem if she's a girl."

"Sir, you are too careful. It was a blessing from God that she survived." At this point, Xue became a little excited. "The situation was so critical at the time. If she had been a step later, she would not have returned. She encountered so many rounds of assassinations on the way back. If it weren't for the protection of the young master of the British Duke, she would probably have died..."

What a foolish woman! She was indeed born a warrior. Mr. Zichun ignored her words and said, "I'm not worried about what you said. I'm worried about her character and her temper. Don't let her cause any trouble."

"Really? I always feel like you don't know her, sir. Is she the one you're talking about? How come I didn't notice it?"

Mr. Zichun did not want to argue with her anymore, so he just said, "Don't let her cultivate this stock market mentality anymore. She is too utilitarian."

Mrs. Xue was a little annoyed: "Sir, you are right, but if it weren't for this arrogance, how could you have made her concentrate on the Tao? For me, I still have to survive first to find out. These are what Lord Du told me before he left. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell Lord Du directly in the future."

"I think it's getting late, so I'll leave first. Ge'er has to go to school today!" After saying this, Xue flicked her sleeves, turned around and left under the moonlight.

Mr. Zichun was left alone, so angry that his face turned blue. Looking at the mountain scenery, he couldn't help shivering and sneezed several times in a row.

Is this summer wind so cool? He wrapped his clothes tightly around himself.

Mr. Zichun kept sneezing at night and was woken up by the child guarding outside the door.

"Sir, have you caught a cold? Is it serious? I'll make you some ginger soup."

"It's nothing serious. I probably caught a cold. Make some soup for me."

There was a noise in the room of the school building at night.

Xue, who was walking down the mountain, brushed her sleeves. "Hey, Master Du is not here either. I can't stand it anymore. You should sneeze more and talk less."

--------

The group of children in the Liu family also received news from Qinghe College. They originally thought that Yingge would be accepted this time, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Now Mr. Zichun has not accepted Yingge. Why does it feel like Yingge is unwilling to let Mr. Zichun be her teacher?

Why did you say "again" again?

"Isn't this considered a mental problem or a disease, right?"

"Humph, she's just boasting. Let's wait until she passes the county exam."

No matter what outsiders say, Yingge can go to Qinghe College openly this time. She carries the lunch she prepared at noon and gets up late on purpose to meet those people in the yard yesterday.

"Congratulations, Yingge. Congratulations on passing the county exam next year."

"Your congratulations don't seem sincere!" The children and men squatting on the rocks in the corner were stunned. What does sincere mean?

I don't quite understand what you are saying.

"You guys should congratulate the future commissioner for passing the county exam."

"Really? How can you be so shameless?..."

Yingge did not hear the rest of the words, as she had already walked to the gatehouse of the mixed residential area.

"Mr. Zhuangyuan, please invite us to play ball next time. If you win, I will give you half of the money."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

After leaving the Zajuyuan and heading towards Qinghe Academy, there were fewer people paying attention to Yingge. The name was still too unfamiliar to them, and they couldn't match many of the names with the people. Some of them they thought were bragging, but they just treated it as a joke.

Yingge was carrying her lunch, thinking how happy Zhixing would be if he knew her news. However, before she even got there, she was almost tripped by a branch that suddenly appeared. The branch definitely didn't appear for no reason, it must have been someone's intentional act.

In front of her was a man wearing a cloak and a hat, his whole body wrapped tightly. He was squatting in the gap between two shops and looking around. Yingge recognized him as Zhixing at a glance.

Yingge was a little speechless. It was so hot, why were you wrapped so tightly? "Sir, what are you doing..."

Yingge was about to talk to Zhixing when he pulled her into the gap between two shops.

"Sir, you are wrapped up so tightly in this hot summer. What's wrong with you? Do you have a rash and can't stand the wind? Or do you have some hidden identity that you are hiding from me? For example, you are a suspect that the government, ah, the court wants to catch, a flower thief, a bandit, or something like that..."

"Well, sir, if you have this identity, you will be caught by others anyway. Look at me, your student, I will have to take the imperial examinations and county exams in the future, which all require money. You might as well let me report it directly. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. I will be caught by others anyway."

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? A notorious thief? A flower thief? Hum, am I that kind of person?"

"Hmm, you know what, I think it's quite right."

"Is this how I am in your mind?"

"That's not the case, what do you think?"

"Ah, it's you."

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Yingge pointed at herself.

"What big thing did you do yesterday?"

"Didn't my mother cry and ask Mr. Zichun to accept me as his disciple yesterday?"

"Humph, you still know that. I don't know who you are talking about. This is all I can do today."

"Didn't you say that with my ability, I would have no problem passing the imperial examination? So if I can pass the imperial examination, then I can pass the county examination as well."

"What are you talking about? I did say that, but I didn't ask you to take the exam next year. How old are you now? Tell me."

"He's thirteen."

"You won't even be fourteen years old next year, so you're only three and a half years old. Throughout history, how many people have been able to pass the county exam at this age?"

"Sir, sir, as the saying goes, ambition does not depend on age, nor does it depend on age."

"I said you'd be able to pass the exam three years from now, not next year."

"If you don't pass the exam, don't say you were my student. I can't afford to lose face like this."

"Such big talk, I don't even dare to go to Xiaolin Hall, it's so embarrassing!"

"So sir, you have to work harder and don't embarrass yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yingge saw Zhixing looking at her with ill intent and snorting. It turned out that the old ones are the wisest.

"My good disciple, you said that the three-year exam has been changed to one-year one. Does this mean that we should work harder? Then the homework should also be increased, right?"

Sure enough, after Zhixing said this, he turned around and pulled Yingge to the foot of Xiaolin Hall and climbed up the cliff they had last time like Batman.

After all, Yingge is a person of the modern era and has seen a lot of high technology. This light industry is a bit difficult for someone who has just been here a little over a year. She was just about to throw a rope as usual, but with a snap, the rope fell from the mountain.
