Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Qin Bingrui has never been a talkative person.

He simply showed King Ning's token to the gatekeeper and asked him to call the headmaster out for a competition.

Fang Qingdao was horrified. How come coming to study turned into a challenge?

Bai Lingyi's face was calm as water. He patted his cousin's shoulder and said, "Cousin, Brother Bingrui has always been like this. Don't panic."

After this slap, he found that he was almost a head shorter than his cousin. Has his cousin grown so tall?

Starting from tomorrow, he has to follow his brother Qin Bingrui to strengthen his physical exercise, and eat more eggs, red meat and white meat to supplement protein.

Sister Luo Yu said that his height has grown rapidly in the past few years, and if he misses this period, it will be very difficult for him to grow taller in the future.

He needs to become strong and powerful so that he can protect his mother and sister.

The token Qin Bingrui presented was quite effective. After a while, the headmaster walked out calmly.

Qin Bingrui raised the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the reputation of Prince Ning's pig tendon meat was really useful. He was worthy of being the most powerful prince of the dynasty.

The headmaster was about fifty-five years old, thin, with white hair and beard, giving him the air of an immortal who had left the world.

Qin Bingrui bowed politely to the headmaster, and several young men followed suit.

"My surname is Wen, and my courtesy name is Youran. "You" is a character from the Book of Changes. May I ask your name, sir?"

Old Man Wen could naturally recognize at a glance that the person in front of him was a girl. She had an extraordinary appearance, like a glimpse of a beauty, but the scar was so eye-catching that it looked as if it was intentional.

"Hello, Master Wenshan. My name is Qin Bingrui, also known as Linghong, and I am a military officer under Prince Ning."

"Military general?" Old Man Wen suddenly became interested.

"A gentleman has a purpose, he is lost at first, but finds his master later, and benefits from it. I believe that the gentleman here should include women.

The headmaster's name comes from the Kun hexagram in the Book of Changes. I believe that he, like me, is someone with aspirations."

"Oh, then may I ask what you are pursuing on this trip?"

"I hope that the headmaster will accept these young men from my family into the academy. This is my greatest wish at the moment."

The headmaster laughed heartily and led a few people into the main hall of the academy.

After you are seated, tea will be served.

The dean smiled meaningfully and said, "It seems that Young Master Qin is no ordinary man. To be able to become a retainer of His Royal Highness Prince Ning must be extremely powerful. I believe that Young Master knows this time that our academy has always followed its own rules when accepting disciples. Even if His Royal Highness Prince Ning comes in person, we may not break this rule."

Qin Bingrui didn't want to waste time, so he got straight to the point and said, "Just tell me how much it is?"

"If the young masters do not have any special talents and do not have the confidence to be admitted to the academy, then each of the three students will be paid 10,000 taels of silver."

"Damn it! You're just robbing me! Do you have any basis for your ridiculous charges? Aren't you afraid someone will sue you? And you call yourself a gentleman. A gentleman has his own agenda, but it turns out you're only after authority and wealth."

He wanted to take the opportunity to complain a lot, but then he thought, in fact, there is no right or wrong in making this choice in the feudal dynasty. If he did not follow these things, how could such a large academy become famous in the world and how could it cultivate so many students?

This is not a republic.

Qin Bingrui sighed, his voice becoming weaker. "Forget it. If everyone could enter the academy, if everyone could eat and study, then those who could achieve this would probably only be found in heaven. I shouldn't have forced the dean. I'm too narrow-minded."

He is a man who can reflect on himself.

But the headmaster was stunned. A college that anyone could enter? What if he was a philanthropist?

Qin Bingrui racked his brains, but he had no money. If these three guys really had to rely on their own strength, it would be quite difficult.

He had little confidence in the three of them.

But they must go to school today so as not to delay him from picking up Xia Liang and Goupuizi later.

"Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else, I won't accompany you. I'll take a break after the first class. I still have to go to teach."

"Master Wenshan, how about I compete with you? Of course, you are my elder, so I may not be able to defeat you.

If you want to give me a chance, you can invite some of your most powerful students to compete with me. If I can beat them, could you please let me study at Songming Academy?"

Qin Bingrui actually wanted to compete with this old man. Although he couldn't compete in poetry and songs, he could compete in martial arts, arithmetic, physics, chemistry, astronomy and geography! Haha.

Wenshan's face twitched. This little girl was really arrogant. Then she looked so smug, as if she was sure of winning.

His Songming Academy, Wen Youran, has trained generations of court ministers and leading figures in various fields. It is well-known in the world and the teachers are all highly respected. How can they let a little woman succeed so easily now?

But he remained calm and unmoved.

"It seems that Senior Wen looks down on me?"

Qin Bingrui took a sip of tea and continued, "Alas, Master Shanzhang, you are far inferior to my master. Although he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he only accepted my sister and me as his disciples. He taught us everything he had learned throughout his life and asked us to dedicate our knowledge to the world. How can ordinary people like you even compare to this level and vision?"

Qingdao's brows were furrowed. This Brother Qin was both a young master and a young lady. Was he a man or a woman? He called his cousin "sister" and now he was calling his cousin "brother". This Young Master Qin was really a little abnormal.

Will the headmaster get angry and kick them all out?

The Fang family is too poor now and has no confidence.

Unexpectedly, Director Wenshan's eyebrows moved.

"It seems that Miss Qin is confident that she can win? You said that you have a unique skill. Why don't you let me, an old man with a lower level of vision and realm, see it first?"

"Haha, Master Wen, there's no need to be so modest. I didn't say your realm is insufficient. After all, you haven't experienced what my master has experienced, so it's normal that you can't compare to him."

Fang Qingdao wiped the sweat from his forehead, fearing that he would be beaten out with a stick.

Director Wenshan naturally would not argue with a young woman, but his expression did look much uglier.

"Then I'll try to be more ambitious and let you take the first step. What do you want to compete in? I'll send my students to challenge you."

"You are all talented in literature here, and I haven't been to school properly for many years. I definitely can't compete in literature. How about a martial arts competition?"

"Do you think this is fair? You claim to be a military officer under King Ning, so fighting must be your forte."

Wenshan has a good temper. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been so angry that he would have been fuming.

"That's right. Not all scholars are like Wen Tianxiang, who are good at both literature and martial arts. Your Wen family is quite powerful."

"Who is Wen Tianxiang?"

The headmaster was curious. How could there be someone he didn't know?

He took a sip of tea and gained a unique understanding of the young woman in front of him. She looked calm and composed, and each word was carefully crafted, able to lead people into the barrier she desired.

No wonder she was appreciated by King Ning and was given the token to use. This is not the treatment an ordinary guest should have.

Qin Bingrui thought to himself that Wen Tianxiang was a figure from the late Southern Song Dynasty. It seemed that he had not appeared in this dynasty yet, so he casually said: "Wen Tianxiang, I read an idol in a storybook. He was the first in the imperial examination at the age of 21 and became the champion.

Later, he led his troops to fight and capture many places, but was eventually attacked by the enemy and captured. He was imprisoned for three years and refused to surrender despite repeated threats and inducements. He died at the age of 47.

He has a classic line in his poem, 'Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave behind a loyal heart that will shine through history,' which is a timeless masterpiece."

"It seems that I am so ignorant and uneducated that I didn't even know there were such heroes."

If it weren't for the last sentence, "Since ancient times, everyone is mortal, but I will leave behind my loyalty to shine in history," Wenshan Chang really thought he was speaking in a notebook.

After hearing just one line of poetry, Wenshanzhang suddenly believed that the woman in front of him was extremely talented and should not be underestimated.
