I’ve never seen anyone take the initiative to ask for points deduction!
All the children were shocked by Brother You's actions.
Xiao Baoer was outspoken and blurted out: "Brother You, are you stupid? Why are you asking for points deduction!"
Brother Ting curled his lips and snorted softly: "It's amazing that you got high marks in the exam! You also asked for two points to be deducted on your own initiative. It's hypocritical and pretentious!"
The other children remained silent, looking equally confused.
A Luo was surprised at first, but then seemed to think of something, and her little face suddenly fell.
Xie Mingxi twitched the corner of her mouth with a half-smile, looked at Brother You who looked a little embarrassed and nervous, and said slowly: "I have my own reasons for marking the test papers this way. You can go back with the test papers!"
Brother You couldn't muster up the courage to say it a second time, so he responded in a low voice, then turned around. He immediately met a pair of disbelieving eyes.
Among them, the brightest and most beautiful pair of eyes clearly shone with grievance and unwillingness.
Obviously, Ah Luo has guessed that Brother You has scored full marks and is undoubtedly the first place.
In front of everyone, Brother You couldn't say anything. He looked at A Luo a little apologetically and walked back to his seat. He deliberately closed the test paper so that no one could see his score.
"A Luo, come here." Xie Mingxi's voice sounded.
A Luo calmed down, stepped forward and took the test paper from her mother's hand.
Ninety-nine points!
Apart from Brother You, she has the highest score.
Among the eleven children, except for Xiao Bao'er and Sister Qing, who are younger than her, the rest of the children are older than her. She got such a high score in the exam, even higher than cousin Ji, so she should be proud...
But she is not happy at all!
No matter how high the score is, it is only second.
A Luo took the test paper in frustration, turned back to his seat and sat down. He refused to turn around to look at Brother You again.
Brother You: "..."
As expected, Sister A Luo was still angry with him.
Xie Mingxi frowned slightly and glanced over: "Aluo, you scored ninety-nine points in the exam. Your score is quite high and you are ranked second. Why do you still look angry? What's the reason for your dissatisfaction?"
A Luo bit her lip, mustered up the courage to stand up and said, "I think this exam is not fair enough. The six arts of a gentleman should be tested in different categories. For example, for musical instruments, only music theory knowledge is tested, which is too biased. This kind of scoring is not fair enough."
No matter how depressed A Luo was, she still took Brother You's face into consideration and did not speak out about shooting the two gates.
Of course, everyone heard it.
This is the first time Ah Luo contradicts Xie Mingxi in public.
Chief Gu was afraid that Xie Mingxi would be angry and "clean up" A'luo, so he immediately opened his mouth to smooth things over: "A'luo's opinion is quite reasonable. For the next exam, you can consider dividing the scores into categories. Just like the weekday exams of Lianchi Academy and Songzhu Academy."
After saying that, he winked at A-Luo: "A-Luo, if you have an idea, just say it in private. How can you question the master in public? Why don't you apologize to the master as soon as possible!"
A'luo lost her temper and felt a little regretful. She glanced at her mother cautiously and said, "The student is impulsive and speaks recklessly. Please forgive me, Master."
It's a pity that with A Luo's little power, it's impossible to tell how the calm-looking Xie Mingxi was feeling at this time.
Xie Mingxi's words were sharp and to the point: "Sit down! If you don't get first place in the exam, just find the reason from yourself. You don't have to blame the exam method, and you shouldn't blame others."
A Luo: "..."
Everyone: "..."
A Luo's eyes flashed with water, and she quickly lowered her head and sat down.
That pitiful look, as if it had been beaten mercilessly by wind and frost, not to mention Gu Shanchang, even Xiao Yuhan felt distressed when he looked at it. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Mingxi.
Doesn't Xie Mingxi feel sorry for her daughter at all? Why does she speak so sharply and directly?
Of course Xie Mingxi feels sorry for Ah Luo.
It is not a bad thing to be competitive. It is also a good thing to use this as motivation to motivate yourself to forge ahead. However, it is really not advisable to get depressed and angry because you failed in the exam.
Just like Li Xiangru back then, she had been suppressed by her all year round, and she was full of resentment until her mind was distorted. She would often stumble her secretly.
She would never condone and tolerate her daughter, nor would she allow A Luo to become narrow-minded and dark.
Those who achieve great things must not only have extraordinary talent and learning, but also have extraordinary courage and broadmindedness.
…
Little Bao'er stretched his neck, wanting to comfort A Luo with a few words. Unexpectedly, he would be called up next. It was embarrassing enough to hold an eighty-point test paper, and he was scolded by the ruthless master.
"Chen Yin!" Xie Mingxi called Xiao Baoer's full name with a cold face.
Little Baoer straightened his chest reflexively: "Here."
Xie Mingxi asked in a deep voice: "Did you know that the eighty-point score you got in the exam was the lowest score?"
Little Baoer lowered his head in shame: "I know..."
"There are still three unanswered questions on the test paper. Is it because we don't have enough time or don't know how to do it?"
Little Baoer was even more ashamed: "No way..."
"You are a gentleman in the six arts. When you are naughty and noisy, you can stand up to three of them." Xie Mingxi snorted coldly: "There will be a second exam in a month. If you still get the same results, let your mother take you."
Let's go back!"
Little Bao'er was about to cry, sniffling and said yes. He returned to his position in the sympathetic eyes of the children and the thankful eyes of Brother Ting that "Finally someone got a lower grade than me."
Sister Qing is the youngest, but she did well in the exam, with a score of ninety-four.
When she got the test paper, Sister Qing's face was full of joy and her eyes were shining.
Xie Mingxi's eyes softened and her voice softened: "Sister Qing got fifth in the exam this time and her results are quite good. We must continue to work hard in the future."
Sister Qing nodded obediently.
I really didn’t expect that this timid little crybaby would get such a high score.
Brother Ting flattened his mouth and quietly turned his head to wink at Xiao Bao'er. His eyes showed a deep sense of pride and smugness that could only be seen between the penultimate person and the penultimate person.
Little Baoer was so ashamed and angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.
Then, Master Xie's ruthless voice reached the ears of the two of them: "Over ninety points are the best. This afternoon, Chen Yin and Sheng Ting will stay in the study, while the rest of the students can go to the Imperial Garden."
Little Baoer: "..."
Brother Ting: "..."
The two people's expressions of being struck by lightning amused everyone.
Gu Shanchang opened his mouth and comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't leave you two alone. The other masters will go to the imperial garden together. I will stay here and open a small stove for you two alone."
...However, they don’t want to open a small stove at all, they just want to go to the Imperial Garden to play for half a day!
Little Baoer Ting's brother was about to cry but had no tears. Under the loving and kind eyes of Master Gu, he stood up and thanked him: "The student has thanked Master Gu."
Chief Gu Shanzhang smiled happily and said: "It's such a small thing, so there's no need to say thank you. By the way, from now on, you two will stay an extra half hour every day. I'll give you two an extra half hour of class."
