He knew that the results were released yesterday, and today he wanted to ask his classmates who lived outside to find out whether his uncle had won the exam. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wei told him the great news just after class this morning.
My uncle is really amazing. He is still ranked first. He deserves to be Song Ziling’s uncle!
Mr. Wei smiled and said: "Your uncle is very good and outstanding. You must learn from him and become a Jinshi like your uncle in the future."
Song Ziling's reputation before was not very good, and he was a bit naughty. But after teaching him for so many days, he felt that this child was not bad, his attitude towards learning was quite serious, and he respected his teacher. If he taught him well, he would be able to pass the Jinshi examination.
Not difficult.
Song Ziling frowned and said, "I don't want to take the imperial examination."
In Song Ziling's view, if he passes the Jinshi examination, he will become a civil servant. If he does not become a civil servant, he will join the army and become a general.
Hearing this, Mr. Wei frowned, "Then what are you going to do?"
Song Ziling raised his chin and said, "I want to join the army."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted.
"If you want to join the army, why should you come to Qingyun Academy to study?" The person who spoke was Cui Feng.
"that is."
Several students who were close friends with Cui Feng also agreed with Sui Shengfu.
Song Ziling stood up, looked at Cui Feng and others and said: "Don't you need to study if you join the army? My mother said that studying can make you sensible and wise, and you can understand more principles and things. Marching and fighting, ranking in formation, are also required
Relying on wisdom. Moreover, if you don’t study and learn more knowledge, how can you understand those military books! Although I will not take the imperial examination in the future, I study just to understand more principles, have more knowledge and
wisdom."
Mr. Wei nodded and said, "Your mother is right, and so are you."
Song Ziling glanced sideways at Cui Feng and sat down.
Mr. Wei looked at the crowd and said: "Song Ziling just said it right. The purpose of your study is not just to take the imperial examination and become a high official. And we teach you to read, not to make you a high official. But to let you understand more."
Learn more truths, acquire knowledge, possess wisdom, and become an upright and excellent person.”
Many students, after hearing what Mr. Wei said, nodded and said, "Students understand."
"Okay, let's start class." Mr. Wei opened the book on the desk.
After class, the teacher left the classroom, and all the students ran to Song Ziling's seat.
"Zi Ling, your uncle is so awesome, he is actually ranked first."
"The top pick is most likely the No. 1 pick."
"You are going to have an uncle who is the number one scholar."
When Song Ziling saw that they all praised his uncle for his greatness, he was very happy and said: "Of course my uncle is great."
Cui Feng, who was about to leave the classroom, stood behind the students surrounding Song Ziling and sneered: "Song Ziling, don't be too happy too early. It's not certain whether your uncle can get the top prize!"
Song Ziling rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't say that my uncle would definitely win the top prize."
If you don't find trouble with this crazy Cui for three days, he will feel uncomfortable all over, right?
"That's right! Zi Ling didn't say that his uncle would definitely win the top prize."
"However, the top pick is very likely to be the number one pick."
"yes!"
Several students helped Song Ziling talk.
Seeing that there were still people speaking for Song Heng, Cui Feng was so angry that he became angry.
"Hmph..." He glared at Song Ziling and walked away with the three losers.
