"Who knows if this mark was drawn by someone with care?" Master Yang said coldly, and then looked at Ji Weizhi, "Shan Chief, I read Miss Shen's question paper this time. There is no mark at all. This mark It only came about after Master Xu took it away!"
Master Xu's expression changed: "What do you mean? Why should I slander a girl I don't know for no reason?"
"You also know it's for no reason?" Master Yang looked at her coldly, "If you refuse to let such a good girl enter school, you are really blind!"
"you--"
"Okay, okay!" Seeing the two people arguing endlessly, Ji Weizhi quickly tried to smooth things over, "There's no point in continuing to argue like this."
Master Xu looked at Ji Weizhi and said loudly: "Chief, Miss Shen is indeed very good, but her cheating behavior is too bad. If Miss Shen is allowed to enter school, won't everyone cheat in the future? We must not condone it!"
Ji Weizhi had a headache, and Master Xu's words made sense.
"Whether Miss Shen is cheating, there's no telling! For such an outstanding girl, she could even get the top spot in the exam, so why would she need to cheat?"
Master Yang said the same thing.
So Ji Weizhi groaned and said: "This Miss Shen is already very good. There is really no need to cheat."
Master Yang looked at Master Xu and snorted.
Master Xu said anxiously: "Mountain Chief!"
If she can prevent Shen Fengxu from going to school, the eldest lady will give her a mansion in the suburbs of Beijing.
Although it is not a house in a prosperous area of the capital, even in the suburbs of Beijing, if there is a decent house, it will cost at least more than a hundred taels of silver. The monthly salary of the Academy Master is meager. If she wants to do it on her own, I am afraid it will cost It will take decades of hard work to get a chance, but now as long as Shen Fengxu can't go to school, he can live in a decent mansion. How can Master Xu not be moved by it?
But Mrs. Yang insisted on cutting off her financial path.
Master Xu couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
"You all have no objection to Miss Shen's literary talent, right? It's just because of the marks on the question paper that you have disagreements?" Ji Weizhi thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.
They both nodded together.
If that's the case, that's easy to say.
Therefore, Ji Wei said: "It's better to invite Miss Shen to the academy first."
Ji Weizhi also wanted to see in person who Miss Shen was who could write such amazing handwriting. If she was innocent and frank, she would naturally be admitted to school.
As the saying goes, words are like people, Ji Weizhi is willing to believe that Shen Fengxu is not a cheater.
Hearing this, the masters couldn't help but look at each other.
"Invite Miss Shen to come to the academy?" Master Xu frowned, "Does the mountain chief want Miss Shen to tell the difference in person? But since she cheated, she naturally won't admit it."
Ji Weizhi waved his hand: "I'm just asking Miss Shen to come as a guest. Let's see how her character is before we make a final decision."
"What? Master Xu doesn't agree?" Master Yang sneered.
Master Xu turned his head and did not look at Master Yang. He only said, "Then just listen to the chief of the mountain."
"It's getting late today, so please invite Miss Shen to come to the academy tomorrow."
With this being settled, Ji Weizhi ordered people to go to Dongningbo Mansion.
…
In Dongningbo Mansion.
The sky is getting dark, the afterglow of dusk is falling all over the ground, the sunset is gentle, and a cool wind is blowing from outside the courtyard.
Shen Fengxu and Shen Baitang were chatting in the Rongxue Courtyard, but suddenly a maid came to tell her that Shen Yanning had invited her to the study.
Chen Fengxu couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he asked, "Do you know why my father asked me to go?"
Something like that just happened today. Shen Yanning was already upset enough, so why did he suddenly want to see her?
The maid just shook her head: "Girl, you should have known it in the past."
Seeing this, Shen Fengxu had no choice but to get up and go to the study. After all, it was Shen Yanning's order and she couldn't refuse.
Walking all the way to the study, when he opened the door and went in, he saw Shen Yanning and the eldest lady in the study together.
Shen Fengxu gathered her quilt and saluted: "My daughter wishes to send greetings to her father and mother."
Recently, the eldest lady has been quarreling with Aunt Zhao, but after all, she is still the eldest lady of the Dongning House. With the support of the Yi'an House, her identity will not change, so no matter what, Shen Yanning will not really be left out. Madam.
The eldest lady was dressed plainly, but her makeup was still delicate and gorgeous. When she looked at Shen Fengxu, her face still looked like a gentle and dignified mistress. She smiled and said: "Fengxu, someone from Bailu Academy just came and said I want to ask you to go there tomorrow."
Master Xu has secretly ordered someone to pass the news to the eldest lady. Although the eldest lady complained that Master Xu was not doing things well, the matter has not been finalized yet. If Shen Fengxu wants to be dealt with, there are still ways.
Chen Fengxu raised his eyebrows in confusion: "Why? Even if the results are released, it should take three days."
Shen Yanning was sitting on the main seat in the middle. His face was dark, showing no emotion or anger. He only said solemnly: "I don't know, it's just that the Academy's Chief Ji Shan wants to see you, so just go."
In the future, when she entered the academy, she was a student of Chief Ji Shan. Since Chief Ji wanted to see her, Shen Fengxu had to go.
So Shen Fengxu nodded: "My daughter understands."
Now that the matter was over, Shen Fengxu was about to bow and leave when he heard the eldest lady's voice.
"Feng Xu has been in deep boudoir and has never been out. Why don't you ask your mother to go with you tomorrow? If you encounter something, it will be easier for her to help you." The eldest lady's smile was gentle, like a warm spring breeze.
Although Shen Fengxu didn't know why, the eldest lady would definitely not say such things without any reason. She probably didn't have any good intentions, so she immediately declined: "I won't bother mother, Feng Xu has never been out. What's more, there are all Masters in White Deer Academy, so mother doesn't have to worry."
But Shen Yanning said: "You can go with your mother tomorrow. You just need to remember that you are a girl from Uncle Dongning's house. You must not lose the face of the house."
Shen Fengxu's heart sank.
Come to think of it, before she came over, the eldest lady had already told Shen Yanning. Where was the discussion with her at this moment? It was obvious that she just gave her instructions and did not consider her own ideas at all.
She exhaled and a smile appeared on her face: "Feng Xu knows."
What if I just go with the eldest lady?
The eldest lady and Shen Fengxu looked at each other and smiled. It was a warm scene of a loving mother and a filial daughter. However, there was an undercurrent surging between the two, which made people feel uneasy.
"Okay, you go back and rest first." Shen Yanning waved his hands distractedly, not wanting to talk to Shen Fengxu too much.
Shen Yanning was greatly dissatisfied with Shen Fengxu's performance in Rongxue Courtyard. In his eyes, women should be as dignified and elegant as Shen Yulou, but Shen Fengxu was aggressive, which made him unhappy.
