The year-end exam that everyone is looking forward to is finally coming to an end. The students who are close to home have already gone home. Only those who live far away are still lingering in the academy. Many of them will not go home, and they are wasting time by going back and forth.
Not to mention, if you don’t do well in the exam, you can avoid a severe beating in the academy. As for whether the food and money for next year will be sufficient, you can only leave it to fate. More people don’t go home because they don’t want to waste time on the road. Academy
There are still so many books in Zhonghao's vast library that have not been read. How can we waste time on the meaningless thing of celebrating the festival? It is more because the family is poor. Although the children of the rich family have returned home, there is still some work to do in the academy.
It's good to be able to continue studying here and also do some odd jobs to supplement the family income.
Early in the morning, the students in the academy who had not yet gone home gathered on the grassland. Today they had a very important task assigned to them. Everyone was in high spirits, and some even led their horses. They were like soldiers about to go on an expedition.
Standing upright, not making the slightest sound, just waiting so quietly. The students of Louguan Academy come from 103 counties and countries across the country. Of course, the number of people in each county is different. The task of these students is to
The transcripts of the year-end exams, together with the test papers and comments about each student from doctors, professors and others, were personally handed over to the eager parents.
Liu Che was also busy in the auditorium. He was responsible for recording the results of all students in the Jingzhao area. Su Ren and Liu Ruyi helped him. Su Ren selected the test papers of the same student from all the test papers, and Liu Ruyi found the
The comments written by the student's doctor or professor were handed over to Liu Che. Liu Che put them all in a paper bag, neatly wrote the student's name and place of origin with a brush, and wrote the names of his parents at the beginning.
Go up there, write the word "respectfully", sign it to Louguan Academy, stamp it with a bright red seal, seal it properly with fire paint, and then all the work is over.
Liu Che had already snorted several times at Su Ren's behavior of turning over the test papers like sweeping fallen leaves, but Su Ren still went his own way and turned a blind eye to Liu Che's anger. Liu Che, who couldn't bear it anymore, yelled and got out, drove Su Ren out, and took it personally.
The corners of all the test papers were flattened and placed neatly. They found a regular little yellow door to take over Su Ren's work before giving up.
Gongsun He saw Su Ren being kicked out and gloated: "You should be kicked out too, you deserve it!" What he just did was Liu Ruyi's job, and Liu Che also felt that it was not a good job, and he was kicked out a long time ago.
Su Ren looked indifferent, and he and Gongsun He stood in the corridor blankly: "Isn't it just a test paper? Your Majesty is too serious."
Gongsun He looked back at the meticulous Liu Che and said: "To you, they are test papers. Your Majesty doesn't think so. Those are his crops."
Su Ren was convinced by this answer. The two of them were really bored, so they asked people to move chairs and sit on the porch to drink tea. Huo Guang was also in the huge queue. Although he didn't have to do this, according to Huo Guang, looking at those parents
Beating his son is a wonderful thing, so Huo Guang makes a trip there every year. Of course it's not too far away, usually around Youfufeng.
After waving to Huo Guang, Huo Guang quickly ran over and said, "What are your instructions, teacher?"
Su Rendao: "I have made an agreement with Da Sima a few days ago. When you come back from this trip, you can go to Sima Mansion to observe the government. It is said that Shangguan Jie will also go. You need to get closer to him. That boy is also a
Talent.”
Huo Guang was noncommittal: "I have inquired clearly. Jin Rixi is also there. Teacher, don't worry, the student has taken note of it."
Gongsun He chuckled: "Now the Sima Mansion is lively! We all know that there is no war, but we still want to go to the Sima Mansion. Boy, are you interested in doing a two-day business trip with me? I'm not Wei Qing and I won't let you get started. Come to my place.
Just put your hands away and do it, I will support you!"
Huo Guang's eyes brightened obviously, but his teacher didn't speak, and he couldn't agree, so he smiled slightly, showing two dimples. Gongsun He suddenly asked Su Rendao: "Is this kid engaged? My third daughter...
…”
Su Ren quickly waved his hand: "Don't tell me, I'm just a teacher, not a parent. If you are willing to go to Pingyang Marquis Mansion to propose marriage to Huo Zhongru, I have no objection!"
This sentence suddenly wiped out Gongsun He's temperament. He told Su Ren that it was because Su Ren was Huo Guang's master. If Su Ren agreed, he would not care about Huo Zhongru. He and Su Ren were in the same family and had nothing to do with a petty official like Huo Zhongru.
.Although Huo Guang is Huo Qubing's younger brother, he is not Wei Qing's nephew, let alone the queen's nephew. The twists and turns here are very clear to Gongsun He.
Su Ren laughed loudly: "Look at your snobbery. You are interested in this boy, and you are not betrothing your daughter to his father. Otherwise, bring your daughter to Huo Guang in a few days and let Huo Guang take a look. If you can,
Come on, I will do this!"
"Get out!"
While the two were chatting, things in the auditorium had ended. One after another, people came out holding a thick stack of paper bags and handed them to the students standing on the playground. Those students who got the paper bags used the oilcloth bags behind their backs to put all the paper bags.
After wrapping it in the paper bag, they left the academy on foot or on horseback according to the delivery address. Huo Guang was quickly called over. Like other students, he was carrying a cloth bag. He came over to meet the teacher and presented him with a gift, then got on his horse and started to show off.
And go.
The emperor finally walked out of the auditorium accompanied by Liu Ruyi, and sat where Su Ren had just sat, looking at the faces of the students who were hurried away with joy. Just as Gongsun He said, those are his crops, and some of them have already been harvested.
Harvest when mature. Some are about to mature, and some are still seedlings, but future harvests can be expected.
In addition to the test papers and comments sent away, Louguan Academy will also publish the top fifty of each grade on the wall outside the academy to give parents and students who have been wandering outside the academy something to look forward to. In a few years, naturally
It was no exception. After all the test papers and comments were sent away, Dong Zhongshu led two old guys, Han Anguo and Zhuang Qingzhai, surrounded by a group of students, and headed out of the gate rather unscrupulously.
Liu Che's three sons are also in the academy. Liu Zheng and Su Kang are both in the fifth grade, the second son Qi Wang Liu Hong is in the third grade, and the youngest son Liu Dan is in the first grade. Like other fathers, Liu Che also wants to see
Can my child be among the top fifty? Seeing that Dong Zhongshu had gone out, he immediately got up and followed him. Sun and Gongsun He naturally wanted to follow. Unfortunately, when a group of them came over, there was a wall where the rankings were posted.
It was already packed with people, and many people even borrowed stools from the shops next to them and looked in with their toes.
Gongsun He pulled Su Ren's sleeve and motioned Su Ren to look ahead. Su Ren quickly raised his head and saw Su Kang, Cao Xiang and Liu Ju climbing up to the roof of a shop, and above them was
Liu Ju's two brothers Liu Hong and Liu Dan together with several other familiar children. Su Ren smiled bitterly and went to the emperor's side to whisper a few words. Liu Che also quickly looked up and saw Liu Hong and Liu Dan standing in the room.
On top, he desperately grabbed his brother Liu Ju's hand and pushed him up, his two little faces flushed red.
Liu Ruyi also saw this scene, trembled with fright and almost screamed. She immediately covered her mouth and ordered the few servants around her to rush over. Liu Che, on the other hand, was not worried and looked at his sons laughing and joking.
After Dong Zhongshu and several old men put up the red list with their names, there was a quiet moment under the wall, and then all kinds of sounds erupted, some laughing wildly, some lamenting and sighing, some swearing, and some angry. etc.
The crowd became sparser. Surrounded by several guards, the emperor finally came to the front of the list, starting with the youngest. When he saw Liu Dan's name in Jingzhao, the smile on Liu Che's face could no longer be concealed, and he laughed wildly.
Su Ren and Gongsun He rushed behind him and danced. When he saw Jingzhao Liu Hong, Liu Che's excitement was already unparalleled. When he finally saw Jingzhao Liu Zhi's name, Liu Che had already started talking nonsense.
"Look, my sons are all good, hahaha... I want rewards, lots of rewards!" Suddenly Liu Che's laughter stopped, he stared at the list thoughtfully, and suddenly turned around and asked Su Ren: "
Why is your son before my son?"
Su Ren was a little speechless. Liu Dan got thirty-one in the exam, Liu Hong got forty-seven, Liu Ju ranked eighth, and his own son was only fifth. This emperor has gone crazy.
"Tell me quickly, why is your son before my son?"
Su Ren was speechless for a long time: "Your Majesty, maybe the minister's son is better at learning than the prince?"
Liu Che glared angrily: "Asshole, my son is Long Zi, how can he be worse than your son? Did that kid Su Kang cheat? If I find out, I will definitely deal with it severely!" After saying that, he waved his hand and huffed angrily.
's gone.
The people around him seemed to have heard what these people were talking about. When Liu Che walked out, they all moved out of the way. Some of them were ready to kneel down. Fortunately, there were many people here, so Liu Che didn't pay attention to this. He hadn't returned to the academy yet.
Liu Che sent someone to find the test papers of Su Kang and Liu Zhi to find out whether someone had guessed them.
Of the two test papers, Liu Che knew that the one with ink on it was the test paper of Liu Zhi he saw. After careful comparison, Liu Zhi was better than Su Kang in terms of Confucian classics, military art, law and other courses.
They were evenly matched, except in arithmetic, Su Kang actually got full marks, while Liu Ju was just above average, which made Liu Che a little helpless. There had been rumors that the children of the Su family were smarter than those of other families. Liu Che didn't believe it in the past, but today
Only after reading the test paper did I understand the essence of this. I believe that even if you learn well, it will be useful, and it is not just as simple as calculating accounts.
After throwing the two test papers there randomly, Liu Che still shouted angrily: "Go back to the palace!"
Liu Ruyi did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered people to prepare the car. While waiting for the car to drive, Liu Zhi brought two young children, Liu Hong and Liu Dan, to pay their respects to their father. The boys had just gone to the room, and their clothes were in a mess.
, especially the youngest Liu Dan, who actually tore off a piece of his sleeve. Seeing Liu Ju dragging Liu Hong on his left and Liu Dan on his right hand to salute him in a proper manner, Liu Che's anger had already disappeared. He didn't know where he had gone.
I really like seeing this scene. Although he fought to the death with his brothers for the throne, he hoped that his children would be brothers and sisters. He was very happy to see it today. (To be continued)
