Wearing the Duke's Mansion, he was scrambling to save his life

Qiao Xiaoxi had a humble and sincere smile on her face, as warm as the spring sun.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person", Qiao Xiaoxi knows this truth very well and firmly believes that as long as she maintains a good attitude, she can hope to achieve her goal smoothly.

Dean Xie is dignified and elegant, and exudes an aura of erudition and talent.

There is no doubt that President Xie must be a scholar with great knowledge.

Li Tianyou admires Dean Xie in his heart. It would be a great honor for him to have Dean Xie as his teacher.

Qiao Xiaoxi also made up her mind to leave a good impression on everyone present by showing her friendly side.

From now on, everyone here may become Li Tianyou’s mentor, friend, or classmate.

Li Tianyou was deeply moved by Qiao Xiaoxi's calmness, and his originally nervous mood gradually calmed down.

The mother and son smiled and waited quietly for President Xie to speak.

His eyes are full of anticipation, as if expressing his longing and yearning for the future.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped and the whole scene seemed exceptionally peaceful and solemn.

A amiable and loving smile appeared on Dean Xie's face.

He said slowly: "If you want to study in our Shanyang Academy, does this young lady understand the rules? Our Shanyang Academy's entrance examination not only examines the children's academic level, but also their parents."

Oh my god! I never thought that in ancient society, when children wanted to go to school to receive education, even their parents would be interrogated?

It is true that times have changed, but the rules remain the same.

Think about it, in the 21st century, those excellent schools will also pay attention to the educational background of students' parents when recruiting students.

"It's a coincidence that today is the day when the poetry festival is held, so let's start the assessment now. If the results are up to standard, you can officially start studying in the village tomorrow; otherwise, I can only say sorry." Dean Xie still had a smile on his face and explained in a relaxed tone.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment!

Qiao Xiaoxi was completely unprepared mentally, and this sudden exam caught her off guard!

"I didn't hear you clearly just now. What are your names?" Dean Xie suddenly realized that he didn't even know the names of the two people in front of him, so he asked.

"My surname is Li, and my husband's surname is Qiao. Dean, please call me Li Qiao. This is my son Li Tianyou. I have come to bother you today and ask you to give my son some questions to test him." Qiao Xiaoxi replied with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Li Tianyou, please come forward!" Dean Xie nodded, then said to Li Tianyou.

Hearing what Dean Xie said, Li Tianyou walked forward quickly. After standing still, he first bowed respectfully to Dean Xie, and then said loudly: "Dean, I am ready. Please give me the questions!"

Qiao Xiaoxi, who was standing by, looked at his confident son with a pleased smile on her face, and whispered, "Son, if you know something, you know it, and if you don't know something, you don't know it!"

When Dean Xie heard what Qiao Xiaoxi said, he immediately became interested and couldn't help but look at Qiao Xiaoxi more.

At this time, Li Tianyou was already standing firmly on the podium. He held his head high and bowed to Dean Xie again, then said loudly, "Dean, please give the questions!"

Dean Xie smiled slightly, thinking that this child was quite magnanimous, so he said, "In that case, then you can stand here and recite the two books, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean, respectively."

Li Tianyou took a deep breath calmly and began to recite the contents of the book.

The tender and clear voice is as beautiful as the sound of nature, which makes people intoxicated.

Qiao Xiaoxi stared at Li Tianyou, who was calm and serious in memorizing, and liked him more and more.

For Qiao Xiaoxi, a child who loves reading is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence, and Li Tianyou happens to be such a child, a child that Qiao Xiaoxi loves.

At this moment, the whole scene was unusually quiet, with only Li Tianyou's catchy recitation voice echoing in the air.

The teachers sitting on the stage also showed appreciation and nodded slightly in approval.

After Li Tianyou successfully memorized the article, he stood steadily in front of Dean Xie, quietly waiting for the next test.

Dean Xie stroked his gray beard and said to Li Tianyou with a smile: "The next question is about Kaul's mother! Please write a poem on the theme of spring according to the theme of today's poetry meeting."

After saying that, Dean Xie pointed at Qiao Xiaoxi.

Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoxi pointed at herself in surprise, while Dean Xie still nodded in response with a smile on his face, expressing his affirmation.

"If you can't complete this test, Li Tianyou will have no way to let you enter our academy!" Dean Xie said with a kind smile on his face.

Qiao Xiaoxi smiled slightly when she heard that, and looked at Dean Xie calmly, and asked softly: "Dean, I am not good at writing poems, but my master is quite knowledgeable about poems and writes good poems. I wonder if it is possible for me to borrow the poems of my master?"

Upon hearing this, Dean Xie immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? In that case, your master must also be a talented person. I wonder who your master is?"

Qiao Xiaoxi sighed softly, a trace of sadness in her eyes, and said slowly: "My master has been in the immortal world for many years, so it is better not to mention his name."

As soon as the words fell, many students below began to whisper to each other.

"How can a country girl like you have any master to teach you? She must have made up an excuse to get away with it!"

"That's right, I guess he just wrote some crooked poems and was afraid of being laughed at, so he put all the blame on that fictitious master."

"Hahaha, it's obvious that you have no real ability, yet you have to use a non-existent master as a shield." For a moment, all kinds of ridicule and questioning voices came one after another, filling the entire Taoyuan.

......

Dean Xie smiled and said, "I will make an exception today. The poem written by this young lady's master will be considered as written by you. Please write a poem on the spot."

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the silver ingot and raised a bright smile: "Thank you for your help, Dean. If my master's poem can win the first prize, can I receive the silver ingot on his behalf?"

Everyone present was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Even the gentlemen sitting nearby couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still thinking about winning the first prize and getting the money? That's just wishful thinking!"

"Do you think that all the people in our Shanyang Academy are uneducated and ignorant?"

A scholar shouted loudly: "Young lady, if your poem can really win the championship, I am willing to add another ten taels of silver!"

"I'll add five taels!"

"I'll add five taels too!"

Qiao Xiaoxi looked at the many students with a smile, hoping that there would be more!
