"Zhao Qing, I'm sorry."

When the five people were walking back to the school, Zhu Feng suddenly spoke.

Zhao Qing looked at him in surprise, not understanding why he said that.

Zhu Feng scratched his head and said, "Chu Siye is right today. If we are really good brothers, we cannot stop you from making progress for your own selfish desires."

"Yes, Zhu Feng is right, I did it wrong in the morning," Wu Guang said embarrassedly.

"Yes, I felt a little regretful that I could not attend class together in the future, and I didn't mean to blame you." Zhu Mingyue couldn't control his mouth, and he always said whatever he wanted to say directly.

"Sorry." Jiang Xian nodded at Zhao Qing. Although he didn't say anything in the morning, he thought that way in his heart.

Zhao Qing was moved when he listened to their words: "It's not your problem, it's my own fault. As Chu Siye said, I cheated with you before and wrote your homework for you, and it's not really helping you.

.In the future, I must urge you to study and improve so that we can not waste our brothers' fight!”

Zhao Qing has a gentle temperament. It is rare to see him as such a passionate person, so when he said this, everyone nodded in agreement. However, he didn't know that when he nodded, he waved goodbye to them.

.

...

"Chu Siye, someone from Ti Xuedao has come. He said he wanted you to go to Ti Xueyao quickly." He Ping received a notice from the doorman and immediately went to Chu Ci to tell him about this.

Chu Ci was patrolling each class with the thickened roster. Hearing this, he went back to change his official uniform, and asked Zhang Hu to quickly get a carriage and take him to the school office.

At the entrance of the Tixuesi Department, Chu Ci met Zhao Yu, the head of the prefecture. After the two greeted each other, they walked in together.

"Chu Siye, what do you think Yang Tixue is asking me to wait for him?" Zhao Yu asked casually.

"I don't know this. Zhao Shan, Mr. Chu is still very experienced and cannot be compared to you for many years. He is more familiar with the adults. What do you think he summoned us today? Please ask Zhao Shan to ask him to do this.

I have been trying to solve my doubts for Chu." Chu Ci gave a few compliments.

Zhao Yu laughed, stroked the beard on his chin, and said, "Chu Siye is too modest, but Zhao is indeed more familiar with Master Tixue than you. He called us today, probably for

Let’s get the seasonal exam results.”

"What are you talking about? You can hear you talking from afar." Yang Tixue didn't see the way he was facing Chu Ci in the court that day, smiling like a kind and kind old man.

"I've met Lord Yang." The two bowed to Yang Tixue.

Yang Tixue asked them to get up, and then said, "Two, please come in with me, everyone else is waiting for you!"

"Yes." The two responded in unison, then walked in behind Yang Tixue.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw the head of the six academies sitting inside. When I saw Yang Tixue and the two of them coming in, they all stood up to greet me.

After some greetings, someone asked about Yang Tixue's purpose of calling them. Yang Tixue said with a smile: "If there is nothing important, I will not disturb everyone. But today, Taifu Wen passed on the words.

I came here and said I wanted to discuss the quarterly exam results with everyone, so I invited everyone here.”

"So that's it. I don't know where Mr. Wen is. We should go and visit him. How can we bother him?" Mr. Wen is famous and no scholar does not respect him.

"Everyone, please be careful. Mr. Wen is coming out of the palace at this time and cannot arrive yet. Let's have a drink of tea first." Yang Tixue smiled, then clapped his hands and asked the servants to send tea.

.

Lu'an tea is now popular in Beijing, and Yang Tixue is no exception. He ordered the servants to send it to Lu'an tea. Everyone picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then praised the tea one after another.

Chu Ci was not interested in joining, thinking about what the person Wen Taifu looked like, so he heard Yang Tixue call him.

"Sir Yang, Xiaguan was just in a daze and had not heard clearly what the Lord said. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, I just saw that you looked calm and seemed to dislike this tea. I was afraid that the hospitality would be inconspicuous, so I asked this question." Yang Tixue said.

"Why don't you be happy if you are a wise man?" Chu Ci picked up the teacup and took a sip to show that he liked it very much.

"But, I heard that Chu Siye likes Mingqian Longjing, not these Lu'an melon slices." Zhao Shanchang suddenly said.

After hearing this, Chu Ci thought about it carefully and realized it immediately. He only told the tea he liked to the Minister of War. Zhao Shan’s surname was Zhao, and the Minister of War was also Zhao. They were probably from their own family.

"No, this person has many preferences, who stipulates that he can only like one kind of tea? Longjing in the Ming Dynasty tastes soft and sweet, and this Lu'an tea tastes fresh and mellow. Both are the finest teas, Chu happened to be

I like both. Moreover, drinking different tea in different environments can also gain different feelings.”

"Everyone is tasting tea? Why don't you wait for me to be with such an elegant thing? I am also a tea lover." A voice sounded outside the door, and the one who appeared in front of everyone was a kind and kind-hearted look at him, accompanied by this voice.

The old man looked a little thin, but his spirit looked very good, his cheeks were rosy, and he was full of energy when speaking.

When Chu Ci saw him, he was very surprised because he had clearly seen the person in front of him! At that time, he was just a disciple. He had seen this old man and a young man near the pool of Wenxingfang.

Because of the extraordinary behavior of those two, Chu Ci was always impressed, but he didn't expect that this person was actually Taifu Wen.

Because he was surprised, Chu Ci pushed him a little and then saluted everyone. Because he was much slower than others, everyone turned their attention to Chu Ci after Taifu Wen called out.

I don't know why he was so incompetent.

"Little friend, what's wrong? Don't you know me anymore?" Coincidentally, Master Wen was also impressed by the young scholar who held a book and was leisurely reading. However, he had known Chu Ci's identity before, so he was not like him.

So surprised.

"The lower official didn't know that you, Taifu, are you and Chu Siye?" Yang Tixue was a little surprised. He was in the hall, and he heard Chu Ci's words and did not know Taifu Wen. Could it be to avoid suspicion.

?

"Mr. Yang, I spent a few days with this friend Chu in early March this year, so I am acquaintance." Mr. Wen answered his questions.

"I dare not be the Grand Tutor to be a friend. I first met by the small pool that day. The lower-ranking officials did not know the identity of the master. If there was any offense, I hope that the master would be a lot of Wang Han and forgive me." After Chu Ci finished his tribute, he bowed again.

Bowed.

"Haha, Xiaoyou Chu blamed me for not explaining my identity clearly at that time?" Grand Tutor Wen smiled heartily.

"The Xiaguan has no such intention. If he had known the identity of an adult, he would have been afraid that the Xiaguan would not dare to talk to the adult because he was ashamed of himself. Just like this, Taifu, you educate the people, and the light is like the rising sun, and the fireflies are fireflies

Hui, it’s too late to respect and yearn for you, how dare you say blame?” Chu Ci said. He really wouldn’t blame others for hiding his identity. Wen Taifu is one of the three dukes, with a high position and a powerful position. If you show your identity when you meet someone, can you tell me?

Do you think you are living a stable life?

"It's good if not. At that time, I didn't even say hello because I received an urgent request from Juyeshan. I hurriedly left without even saying hello. However, as the saying goes, I'll see you again if you're destined to be together.

Taifu Wen sat on his head, picked up the newly delivered teacup, took a sip, and sighed: "What a tea!"

His love in his expression was not like a false test. Chu Ci felt that perhaps the reason why Lu'an melon slices are popular in this capital is here.

"Today, I asked Lord Yang to invite everyone to come, just to talk about this season's exam. This year's topic was ordered by me, and the emperor ordered me. I have read the volume for a few days, and although I have found a few well written articles.

But most students say nothing about the articles, and I am very worried."

The mountain captain who was sitting bowed his head and said nothing. The students’ poor writing of the articles naturally means that they have no way to discipline them.

Master Wen looked at everyone's reaction and smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't have to do this. You must know that the master is leading the door, and the practice is for one person. I will never blame you for this."

"We are ashamed."

"Okay, let's get back to the point. The evaluation of the quarterly examination has been released. Let's talk about the Imperial College first. Because during the quarterly examination, there are still differences between internal and external colleges. I will still talk about the second colleges in the internal and external colleges. First of all, there are the inner courts, totaling nine.

Among the sixteen students, 32 of whom were rated, 64 of whom were rated, and the total was rated as the upper and upper grades. Compared with the previous season, it was slightly regressed. There were 266 people in the outer courtyard, among which the evaluation was

Forty-three excellent people, one hundred and three reviewers, and one hundred and ten reviewers, the total rating was the best. Compared with the previous season, the progress has been great, and this is all the credit of Chu Siye.

.”

"Thank you, the Grand Tutor, for the praise of the Outer College, all the teachers of the Outer College have made great contributions. Of course, they cannot be separated from the students' own efforts. They have little to do with the subordinates." Chu Ci stood up and said modestly.

"I just came from the emperor. I heard that when Chu Siye went to court to defend himself that day, he used contemplation methods to guess my thoughts clearly. Only then can he prescribe the right medicine. How can he say that it has little to do with you?"

Master Wen looked at Chu Ci, his eyes full of teasing.

Chu Ci was very embarrassed: "I would like to ask Grand Tutor Wen to forgive my superiors for speculation. This is a move that is the only way. You should do it steadily in your learning path."

Taifu Wen was stunned and then smiled: "It's rare that you can think so clearly. Yes, knowledge cannot be done overnight. If you deviate from the right track because of a temporary luck, you will put the cart before the horse."

"The subordinates must follow their teachings and must educate the students of the Imperial College to study hard and not be lucky."

"That's the best, you sit down. I will talk about the school..."

Taifu Wen listed the results of several academies in Beijing that took the season examination one by one, and then compared them with the previous season. He realized that he had nothing to say.

The biggest regression this time was Qimen Academy. The Qishan Chang was always worried, fearing that what happened to Liu Siye in the last season would happen to him again. Unexpectedly, Master Wen came here in person this year, but he said

He was also extremely grateful for his punishment.

After talking about the exam, Wen Taifu reiterated his experience in Fujian that day, which was more detailed than what Chu Ci heard from Wen Ran that day. It turned out that there were more than two villages in Fujian.

It is relatively large, but all the villages near the sea are like that rich village, and they have no intention of learning at all. Sometimes, when you walk into four or five villages, you can't see a private school.

Everyone expressed their own opinions on this, but they knew very little, so they did not dare to make suggestions. Wen Taifu also knew that this matter was too urgent, so he changed the topic and asked how they were going to "sacrifice to Confucius" this year.

.

Confucius is the most sage teacher. When all scholars enter school, they will be taken by Master to worship Confucius. Every year, the 27th day of the eighth lunar month is the birthday of Confucius. This day is of great significance to those who have read books.

It is an important celebration second only to the New Year.

Since the day Chu Ci has traveled through time, he has never celebrated this day with everyone. He has passed this day by the first year. The second year was just finished the provincial examination, and he stayed behind closed doors.

On this day, I followed Mr. Xu to set up a fruit plate for incense tables and worshipped me. But I didn’t know that the academy in the capital attached so much importance to this matter.

Several mountain lords talked about their thoughts, probably according to the old routines of last year, but changed in sequence.

After hearing this, Master Wen shook his head and said, "After all, there is nothing new. This is true every year, and the students probably don't have much enthusiasm to participate."
