"No need to wait until then. As long as you can stand in horse stance for an hour now, I can teach you." Ji Wei didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

But it also shows that he doesn't like to drag things out, so he said this. He wants Xiao Yan to give up now, so that Xiao Yan won't come again one day.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan said, "Okay."

Ji Wei was a little surprised. After all, this student looked quite weak. Let alone an hour, even a stick of incense would probably be difficult for him. But this student agreed so readily.

But despite this, he didn't take it seriously.

I thought that after the student had practiced for less than an hour, he would leave on his own.

Ji Wei closed his eyes again and fell asleep hugging his wine gourd.

But then he felt that this was unfair. The student looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was already over fifty, old enough to be the other person's grandfather. How could he bully a child like this...

Forget it.

Ji Wei simply opened his eyes again, propped himself up and sat up a little, then leaned against the pillar, opened the wine gourd and drank while watching Xiao Yan do horse stance.

I planned to kick this child out as soon as possible if he couldn't hold on any longer.

But you know what, this kid does the horse stance pretty standardly.

But after a stick of incense had passed, seeing that the man was still doing the horse stance steadily, Ji Wei frowned.

Half an hour passed, and the man was still standing steadily in horse stance. Ji Wei began to feel a little unhappy, and finally realized that he might have set a trap for himself.

But when Xiao Yanzhen had been stabbing for a full hour and was still steady, Ji Wei still stared with his eyes wide open.

Is this really a student from this academy?!

Also, he really set a trap for himself!

"Alright, stop it," Ji Wei said angrily. He wasn't angry at Xiao Yan, but at himself.

After not going to the battlefield and not using his brain for a long time, he couldn't even tell how much a little kid weighed.

"Sir." Xiao Yan just bowed again.

Ji Wei then stood up suddenly. He was tall and strong, and even though he had a limp in one leg, it could not conceal his mountain-like momentum.

"Have you ever practiced martial arts before?" Ji Wei asked.

Xiao Yan was naturally lying: "No, it's just that my lower body is more stable."

After a pause, he lied and added, "Maybe it has something to do with me sometimes sitting in horse stance and reciting my lessons because I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

"You scholars are really..." Ji Wei didn't know what to say. He was a military commander and had never understood the thoughts of scholars. It was said that there were people who hung their heads on beams and pierced their thighs with awls.

"So, did that student learn horseback archery from you?"

"Never mind, I'll teach you," Ji Wei said. He might not have many other strengths, but he always kept his word. Since he had promised to teach someone after they had practiced for an hour, he would naturally do so.

only--

"Have you signed up for this year's college entrance examination?" Ji Wei suddenly asked. He remembered that the examination was the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I've registered. I'll be entering the examination room tomorrow."

Ji Wei then said, "In that case, wait until you finish your exams and then come and study with me."

"Thank you sir."

"What's your name?" Ji Wei then lay back down lazily.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Ruoqing."

Ji Wei suddenly looked at him again and asked, "Are you the student who solved the case of the body dumped in the abandoned well yesterday?"

He didn't have any classes yesterday, so he was not in the academy. He only heard about this when he came to the academy today.

"Although it was a student, it can't be said that he broke it. It's just that the student happened to see it, and Shi Jun put a sack on the student, so the student dared to be so sure."

Ji Wei took another sip of wine and said nonchalantly, "You broke it, so you broke it. Those old men who teach literature classes are full of praise for you."

Ji Wei was too lazy to ask Xiao Yan why he came to take the martial arts class, as he was originally the martial arts teacher of this academy.

But if the students were not sincere in coming to the class, and just wanted to study for a day or two and then stop, he would rather throw a tantrum and would not teach them even if he was Mr. Wu.

But he was able to patiently stand in horse stance for an hour, and at this moment he was not in a hurry. It was obvious that Xiao Yan was not doing it on a whim. Besides, he had already promised in advance that he would naturally teach the child.

Since he knew how to teach the child, it naturally didn't matter to him why he came to take martial arts classes.

Ji Wei didn't ask, but when Xiao Yan returned to the classroom, Xu Ji and the others couldn't help but ask Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said, "Before, I was put in a sack and had no power to fight back. I was almost beaten to death. I don't want to encounter such a thing again, so I want to learn some martial arts to protect myself.

Even if I only learn to react faster, I feel that it will at least help me protect myself, so I went to the training ground."

After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Xu Ji and the others also wanted to go to the training ground to take martial arts lessons.

They are all educated people and are weaker than ordinary people. In any case, they are definitely at a disadvantage when it comes to physical combat.

Basically, they just get beaten.

But the exam is the most important thing now, let’s talk about it after I’m done with it.

Because they will be entering the examination hall tomorrow, in the afternoon, most of the students who will be taking part in the college entrance examination went home to prepare their things.

After all, they have to stay in the examination hall for three days, and the examination hall does not provide them with food and drink. They even have to bring rice, pots and other things.

Xiao Yan also left the academy in the afternoon, but he did not rush home. Instead, he went to Zhongchang Street.

At this hour, his wife, father, mother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law should all still be setting up shop at the stall.

Jiang Ningning and her friends were indeed still selling grilled sausages at the stall, but there were only a few left. They would probably sell them all out soon and then go home.

Although I came late this morning, I still earned more than 700 coins.

Later that morning, the Tao family servant actually came back to buy sausages and sent them to the county. Although he didn't buy sixty sausages like yesterday, he still bought forty.

Thanks to these forty sticks, they were able to close their stall early today and go back to prepare things for tomorrow's stall.

Of course, we also need to prepare things for Xiao Yan to take to the exam room tomorrow.

Of course they all remembered that Xiao Yan would enter the examination room tomorrow.

The five of them discussed it and decided to prepare Xiao Yan's things for the exam tomorrow after all the sausages were sold out, so as to avoid missing anything, which would be bad.

It is said that you will only stay in the examination room for three days, but entering the examination room one day in advance is actually equivalent to staying in the examination room for four days.

During these four days, the examination room only provided water, and it was cold water. Therefore, we had to bring a stove, charcoal, etc. to boil hot water.

The charcoal must be smokeless charcoal, which cannot smoke yourself or others, so as not to affect the exam.

To prevent food from spoiling, causing stomach upset that affects your answering, or food poisoning that prevents you from continuing the exam, even if you bring food into the exam room, they should be cured meats, pickles, and other non-perishable foods.

If you bring dry food, it will probably be fried rice, steamed buns, cakes, etc.

Since you can actually cook in the examination room, you naturally need to bring pots, rice and other things.

Xiao Yan had participated in the college entrance examinations several times before. His family had a small pot, water-boiling utensils, and an examination basket for one person. After each exam, Tian and Xiao Fushan would put them away carefully, so there was no need to buy these again.
