"I thank Mr. Huang for the gift, but I don't know why it is Zhang Yuchen?"

As the candlelight flickered, Mr. Huang turned slightly, looked at Zhang Zonghan in front of him, and smiled slightly:

"All the children in the Zhu Kingdom have outstanding talents, but Yuchen is the rotten wood that cannot be carved."

"However, he is unwilling to do so. He would rather go his own way than sit back and wait for death. Seeing this, it is difficult not to help."

Hearing Mr. Huang's words, Zhang Zonghan's face showed a flash of surprise.

It turns out that Mr. Huang usually dislikes worldly affairs and would avoid Yang Tiance when he saw him coming, but he was willing to teach Zhang Yuchen because he saw his hard work and felt something.

This is what happens when people get old.

Zhang Zonghan expressed his understanding, but was not touched at all.

He has never had any special feelings for this son.

The world respects the strong. Could it be that he became the pillar of the country just through hard work?

The right time, right place and right people are indispensable.

Incompetent people, no matter how hard they work, will always be incompetent.

Even though Zhang Yuchen's previous words changed his previous cowardice and surprised him, it was not enough to make him have any other ideas.

The only thing that could make him hesitate or waver was the surname Zhang in Zhang Yuchen's name.

If it weren't for Mr. Huang, he wouldn't bother bothering with a useless dog.

Now that he has given up his inheritance rights, he no longer has to worry about it from now on.

Whatever the future holds, he no longer needs to worry about this outsider.

"So Huang Lao doesn't plan to leave the mountain?"

"I'm already old and guilty, so why am I here?"

"If you hadn't protected me, I would have been beheaded by the Holy Spirit."

Mr. Huang sighed:

"The glory of the Dragon Warrior has passed. Now there is no Dragon Warrior in the world, only an old and twilight man."

"Don't tell me that once you are out of the mountain, you will be deaf and blind, and your moral conduct will not be as good as before."

"If there is nothing else, let's go down first."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhang Zonghan stopped staying any longer.

It seems that the vision was just a whim of Mr. Huang.

Humph, as for how much my good-for-nothing son can understand, it all depends on the fate of heaven and earth.

When Zhang Zonghan left, Mr. Huang couldn't help but touch his head.

"It's weird, why are there so many people looking for me today?"

"Didn't I agree at the beginning that I have the final say on how the money is used?"

"What's more, he didn't confiscate it either."

Huang Laobai was puzzled. Isn't it just a small expense? As for mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this?

But he doesn’t care anymore. He can just retire and live his own life slowly.

......

Three days later, at midnight.

Sit cross-legged and concentrate your energy to control your spirit.

Zhang Yuchen let out a long breath and felt that the inheritance of the Housheng in his body seemed to have grown a little stronger.

Water it every day with awe-inspiring righteousness, and one day your little buds will grow into towering trees.

"I'm going to the Daming Academy tomorrow. It seems I have to go through a series of assessments?"

Zhang Yuchen frowned and thought, feeling that the gentleman in the academy was too rigid.

It seems that Princess Yongle's face is not very good, she is really a rotten scholar.

Assessment is a trivial matter, but delaying yourself in copying books is a big deal, okay?

Just when he was worried about this, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Brother, have you slept?"

Zhang Yuchen stood up and opened the door. It was none other than the third brother who was about to get married.

Since he gave up his inheritance rights, Zhang Hong's attitude towards him has become much better.

But that’s all.

Once he gives up his inheritance rights, from now on, he will not even be considered the fourth son in this house, and will be a proper outsider.

"How are you preparing for tomorrow's assessment? How is Mr. Huang's enlightenment?"

"That's almost it. I'd like to trouble my third brother to think about you."

"It's not a matter of concern. After all, you are the fourth son of the Zhang family. You must not lose the family's face during this assessment."

When the Zhang family's reputation was mentioned, Zhang Hong's tone changed slightly and he immediately became arrogant.

"Although everyone in the world knows that my Zhang family is from a martial arts family, if you make a fool of yourself tomorrow, you will still lose face to my father and us."

"You have neither talent nor any contact with Confucianism and Taoism. Although those scholars promised to give you a position, they actually want to use the opportunity to suppress us."

"Otherwise, why would we need this assessment?"

"But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to complain. You must not become the reason for our Zhang family to be criticized!"

After listening to his words, Zhang Yuchen nodded in agreement, and the last bit of tenderness in his heart disappeared.

If I become a Confucian sage in the future, I would like to see the expressions of my third brother at that time.

Zhang Hong took out another old book from his arms:

"This is the treasure book I specially found for you from my father after I won the martial arts competition. Please meditate on it."

"Don't let Third Brother down. As long as you can understand a few things, you should be able to cope with tomorrow's test."

"Thank you, third brother."

Zhang Yuchen sneered in his heart. He had already known about the martial arts competition from Liu Shun'er and others' chat. Looking at Zhang Hong's smiling face, he felt even more boring.

A treasure book that I found specially? How ridiculous.

That's not what you said when you told me to get out of the house in front of everyone.

After he left, Zhang Yuchen lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand.

It's just a thin book, and the Tao Yun is so thin that it can't even be called a treasure book.

For an illiterate person, it is a treasure, but for him now, it is just a piece of shit like toilet paper.

He took the candle and burned the so-called "treasure book" to ashes with a casual touch.

......

At noon the next day, inside the Daming Academy.

Zhang Yuchen was sitting upright. Behind him, Zhang Zonghan and others, and even Yang Tiance, came here.

No matter what is said inside, it is a big deal for Zhang Yuchen, as a member of the Zhang family, to join Daming Academy.

It is worth his while to wait and see.

"Shuzi, just listen."

"The academy is divided into three courtyards: the upper, middle and lower courtyards. The upper courtyard is for dragons and phoenixes, the middle courtyard is for snakes and eagles, and the lower courtyard is for earthworms and sparrows."

"Although you are authorized by His Highness and the son of Zhang Zhuguo, since you have entered the academy, you must follow the rules of the academy."

"This assessment is to see which hospital you can get into."

"If you get to the House of Commons, don't get angry out of shame and do something inappropriate like a martial artist!"

After saying that, the white-haired scholar deliberately glanced at Zhang Zonghan, and the latter's expression became increasingly cold.

The Zhu Kingdom is very big, but the Ming Academy is chartered by His Majesty, so it is naturally not afraid of Zhang Zonghan.

"Don't worry, sir, success depends on God and failure depends on people. You can't blame anyone else."

The gentleman was slightly startled when he heard this, and he was a little surprised.

"Huh, little kid with a yellow mouth, as the son of a warrior, you know some things better than your family members."

"The chat is over, let's listen to the questions!"

The gentleman coughed, his beard trembled slightly, and he let out a long drink:
Chapter completed!
