After staying up all night, Master Ji's eyes were red and his face was dark, but his spirit was surprisingly uplifting.
Master Ji held twenty test papers that were rated first-class and went outside Gu Shanchang's house.
I happened to meet several other ladies who came to deliver the papers together.
"Mr. Ji's face is filled with joy. Could it be that the number one in your group is particularly outstanding?" It was Master Yang who opened his mouth.
Wherever there are people, there will be fights.
Lianchi Academy is the most famous women's college in Daqi. Empress Yu of the Central Palace personally serves as the academy director. Gu Xianzhi, the deputy academy director, comes from a scholarly and distinguished family and is famous all over the world.
Those who can enter Lianchi Academy and become teachers are all full of talent and learning. It is inevitable to rely on talent and be arrogant, and comparisons are common.
Ji Fuzi was over thirty years old and had a husband and a son. He had an ordinary appearance and was very good at arithmetic. He was highly regarded by Gu Shan.
Master Yang was younger, fair-skinned and beautiful. Her husband died early and she had only one daughter. She was left in her husband's house and lived alone in Lianchi Academy. He was good at music. He often competed with Master Ji.
In last year's freshman entrance exam, the first place came from Mr. Yang's group. Mr. Yang rarely beat Mr. Ji, and he was proud and happy for a year. When I was reviewing the test papers last night, I came across a very satisfactory test paper, and I was determined to get the top spot.
Looking at the provocative Master Yang, Master Ji smiled calmly: "Exactly. Come to think of it, the first place this time should be from my group."
Master Yang: "Haha! This is a coincidence, I thought so too."
As they looked at each other, the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.
Another Master Su pursed his lips and smiled, his voice soft and sweet: "The number one in my group is also quite outstanding. There are quite a few outstanding people among the freshmen this time."
Having reconciled the situation, Master Ji and Master Yang stopped talking and stepped into Chief Gu's house one after another.
…
Five stacks of test papers were neatly stacked on the table.
Gu Shanchang glanced at him and asked casually with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Before Master Ji could say anything, Master Yang rushed to respond: "This is all my job, how dare I say it's hard work." Then he smiled and said: "The first-class winner in our group's evaluation is extremely outstanding in literary talent.
The accuracy rate in arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects reaches 90%.”
The test paper was written by Empress Yu personally and proofread by Chief Gu Shan personally. The arithmetic and miscellaneous subjects test paper was extremely difficult. The accuracy rate was 50 to 60%, which was barely enough to pass. The 90% accuracy rate was really astonishing.
Master Yang's eyes were full of lust and he glanced at Master Ji.
Master Ji remained calm and said calmly: "The first-class person in our group is correct in all math and miscellaneous subjects."
Master Yang: "..."
Master Yang's face was burning, and he heard a slap in the face.
The other three masters all looked shocked, and they looked at Master Ji together with Chief Gu: "Are you really right?"
Master Ji did not show any complacency, and responded calmly: "The test paper is here, you will know after you take a look."
Gu Shanchang raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the first test paper. His eyes quickly scanned the beautiful and clear fonts with a hint of approval. He turned over the first two and the third one appeared in front of him.
It's absolutely correct.
Gu Shanchang's eyes lit up: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I didn't expect that among the freshmen in our academy this year, there would be such outstanding talents in arithmetic. In this year's academy competition, we finally don't have to suffer in arithmetic."
Already."
…
Every September, in line with the purpose of "mutual exchange and mutual learning", the six major academies hold a grand six-day cultural gathering. The ceremony, music, and imperial calligraphy are divided into three categories, and three students are sent as representatives for each category.
It is said to be a literary meeting, but in fact it is a competition. It has also become the best opportunity for the six major academies to compete for rankings. Every year in the competition, Emperor Jianwen, Empress Yu, will appear in person.
The competition between the six major academies has also become a grand event that attracts everyone's attention. Civil and military officials, nobles, clansmen, nobles, and ladies in the inner circle all pay close attention to it. Even ordinary people, in September, all they talk about is the competition between the academies.
Some good people even set up handicaps to make a lot of money from this grand event. I won’t go into details at this time.
Lianchi Academy participates in literary competitions every year, but the results are not satisfactory. The three items of rituals and music are strong. However, women are naturally weak, their shooting skills are far inferior to men's, and their arithmetic is also quite weak.
As a result, in every academy competition, I can barely stay in the middle of the pack!
It's hard to say how much of this mid-range performance was due to Empress Yu's reputation. Empress Yu deliberately published such a tricky arithmetic and miscellany, and she obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to select talents.
I didn’t expect such a surprise!
Master Gu was so happy that Master Ji also laughed: "To be honest with Master, I also sighed when I was reviewing this test paper. Such a smart student will definitely become the best in our Lianchi Academy."
Master Yang was robbed of the limelight, and he felt sullen in his heart. However, he was already defeated, so it was not appropriate to speak out anymore. His eyes turned to Master Su, and he deliberately introduced the topic: "Master Su's group
So what about the top spot?”
Master Su refused to wade into muddy waters and smiled gently: "The accuracy rate is 80%, which is pretty good."
The first place in the other two groups is only about 80%.
The corners of Ji Fuzi's mouth raised.
So dazzling, so angry!
Master Yang's teeth were itching and he couldn't help but said: "The number one in my group has done an excellent job in policy making. How about the mountain chief take a look first?"
Chief Gu Shanzhang was well aware of the overt and covert struggles among the masters, but he did not tell the truth. He readily agreed and took the test paper and looked at it carefully. Approval gradually appeared in his eyes.
Master Yang's suffocation disappeared and he deliberately glanced at Master Ji: "I wonder how Master Ji is doing at the top of this group?"
Master Ji said calmly: "Chief, let's read the strategies for the other three first-place exam papers first, and then look at this one!"
Masters: "..."
What does this mean?
Are you feeling timid and shrinking? Or are you confident and not afraid of comparison?
Gu Shanchang looked at Mr. Ji with interest, smiled and said, "That's fine."
According to the practice of previous years, the second round of grading starts with the first name. Chief Gu and the five team leaders looked at them one by one and selected the first among the five top papers.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the number one among the freshmen.
Gu Shanchang read them one by one, and finally picked up the test paper in Ji Fuzi's hand and turned to the policy paper. Gu Shanchang, who was originally calm and composed, changed his expression quietly, his eyes sparkled, and he flashed with surprise.
Master Yang saw this and his heart sank!
After reading it, Gu Shan was speechless for a long time.
How?
The other masters' curiosity was aroused, and they all looked at Master Gu. Master Gu said nothing and only gave the test paper to Master Yang.
After Master Yang looked at it, he also fell silent.
Every word and every sentence is like a sharp sword, piercing the pain in the hearts of all the women and masters.
