Thirty-three, leaving without saying goodbye (Part 1)
Qi Zhengzhong stayed bored in the side hall. After a while, several old scholars came up to chat with him. After dealing with it for a while, he excused himself and left. He went to the garden of the side hall to relax alone. With a group of old men, it was very strange.
It's awkward, especially when they keep asking you for advice, and it's even more annoying. Besides, if you sincerely ask for advice, you can't treat it coldly.
About an hour after the exam, there was a noise outside Zhankui Hall. Qi Zhengzhong walked over curiously and saw a group of gentlemen surrounding a large circle, and screams could be heard from inside.
"Excuse me, what's going on? There are so many people around?" Qi Zhengzhong asked, gently touching a gentleman next to him.
The man glanced at Qi Zhengzhong and immediately recognized the master of the Thirteen Kui Academy. Knowing that it was his first time here and not knowing anything about it, he explained: "Someone cheated and was caught by someone inside.
, is being punished with a cane. Hey, actually there are cheaters every year. What a pity for these gentlemen, who repeatedly tell the students not to cheat, not to cheat, but still can't stop the behavior of some students. They were caught cheating,
Why do we all have to suffer together? Your Sankui Academy is better. The students have the best qualifications. There has never been any cheating in the past. You can get the top spot without cheating." The man explained while using incomparable words.
He looked at Qi Zhengzhong with jealous eyes.
Under the strong gaze of the man, Qi Zhengzhong turned around and ran away, leaving behind the astonished gentleman.
***************************
The students who cheated and were punished along with their husbands were just a small episode in this exam. After more than half an hour, the first exam was over. The students walked out of Zhankui Hall, some with high spirits and some with faces.
Frustrated. Qi Zhengzhong walked over to meet his students. After careful questioning, most of them said that they would definitely be able to pass the first exam. Only a few said that they had no confidence and did not show their strength.
Seeing that most people were confident, Qi Zhengzhong also lamented that the quality of the students in Sankui Academy was too high. There were more than a hundred students, so many of them could get in in this exam that eliminated 70%. The leader
They returned to the inn, and according to the rules, they were allowed to return to their residence in the capital after the first two exams. However, after the third exam, because the marking time was uncertain, the top three students had to go to the king after they appeared, so the teachers and students could only sit in the occupancy.
Kui Hall and the side hall are waiting for the results.
After returning home, it is necessary to celebrate the students who passed the first exam, and it is also imperative to encourage those who failed. But it is a pity that they will have to study hard for another ten years before they can take the next exam.
However, how many people can persist for another ten years? Therefore, most people who fail to pass the exam go to make a living by themselves and never take the exam for the rest of their lives.
After finishing their meal, Lieutenant Qi Zheng called together the five students who were most promising to win the championship and asked them in detail about their status. They all said that this exam was extremely simple and that it was too easy for them.
, one by one, they patted their chests to express that they would be able to take the top spot this time.
*******************************
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed, and two exams have been passed. Most of them have been eliminated, and there are still more than 200 people left. Today is the third and final exam. Qi Zhengzhong is very satisfied. After two exams,
In the exam, nearly half of the people in Sankui Academy can still advance.
"Aim to be the leader, work hard!" Qi Zhengzhong and his students continued the idea he came up with to boost morale, and even shouted loudly together. Anyway, it was not during the exam, and the eunuchs would not stop him and said that noisy was allowed here.
At the same time, it can also slightly dampen the morale of other candidates.
Although there were many people around, and they felt uncomfortable in their hearts, no one stood up to express their opinions, because for every 40 or 50 people promoted from Sankui Academy, this was a large number of people, a total of about 200 people.
A person’s third HKCEE is such a terrifying number.
Qi Zhengzhong has now become the object of controversy among many gentlemen. Some people think that he is too young and it is impossible for him to teach these powerful and outrageous students. Some people also say, look at these students' opinions on that
How respectful, if they were not taught by one hand, how could they make these top students obey orders? It sounds quite reasonable.
"Squeak...ah...!" The door of Zhankui Hall opened again, and the eunuch came out and asked the students to line up to enter. An old eunuch was still reading the iron law repeatedly outside the door.
This is the last exam. According to the rules, teachers and students cannot leave until the marking is completed, so the side hall has opened several small courtyards and residences so that they can have a place to rest and move around.
Because there were too many people taking the third exam in Sankui Academy, they were lucky enough to be assigned to a separate courtyard. Now Qi Zhengzhong is resting here! He has never entered the palace in his life, and Qi Zhengzhong now even has a desire to go in there.
He had the desire to go shopping, but his reason told him that behind every country there is a monastic sect to support him, so he could easily enter the palace. So he gave up this idea, stayed in the room honestly, and continued
Study your own martial arts.
****************************
Time passed little by little, and this exam was obviously much longer than the previous two. From morning to afternoon, the students dragged their tired bodies out, all looking exhausted. It seemed that this was the last time.
The exam is indeed extraordinary.
Walking at the back were the students from Sankui Academy. They looked relaxed, and you could even see them looking a little excited. As soon as they came out, no one paid any attention to them, as if they were getting better, so they walked as quickly as possible.
After asking about the residence of Sankui Academy, we ran away together, and everyone around us was stunned.
Originally, it was strange enough that Mr. Qi, the teacher of Sankui Academy, did not come to take care of his students after the students had finished their exams. This group of students was even better. As soon as they came out, they were all eager to find the teacher as if they had taken aphrodisiacs.
"Sir, sir...!" When they arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, the students who were taking the third exam shouted excitedly together, their voices varied.
Hearing the anxious cries of the students, Qi Zhengzhong quickly appeared in the courtyard. In such a hurry, he was worried that his students had caused some trouble.
As soon as he appeared, Qi Zhengzhong cheered and was surrounded by students from the college. "What happened? Did any of you cause trouble?" Qi Zhengzhong looked at them and asked quickly.
"No, no, sir, where are you thinking? Do you know what the question of today's exam is?" Zhang Cheng said excitedly, grabbing Qi Zhengzhong's wrist.
"You are taking the exam, not me. How could I know the questions? Is it difficult? Are you sure?" Qi Zhengzhong heard that it was not a big deal, so he stopped worrying and asked instead.
about their exams.
"Sir, the title of this exam is 'Discuss the foundation of governing a country and the road to a strong country'!"
"Well, so what?" Qi Zhengzhong was already confused by them.
Seeing Qi Zhengzhong's reaction, everyone was disappointed. Su Ren said: "Sir, do you still remember that you taught us about cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world? We discussed this topic for several days last time.
So, we were divided into three groups, so the topic this time was extremely easy for us! The only difference is that we don’t know which one of us writes better and who is the leader!"
"Oh, haha, congratulations. It seems that the leader must be among you this time. Hahaha, I can explain it to the mayor!" Qi Zhengzhong said cheerfully.
"This is all thanks to the teacher's teaching. If it hadn't been for the teacher's advice in the college, we would have been troubled by that question today! Didn't you see that all the colleagues who took the exam were all confused when they came out?
His face is extremely haggard. I would like to thank you again for your teachings!" Su Ren said and bowed. Others followed suit and bowed to thank him.
Seeing dozens of people around him saluting around him, Qi Zhengzhong was really uncomfortable and said quickly: "Get up, get up, you are also my students after all. Although I haven't taught you much, I still hope you can
Talented!" These words were said in an old-fashioned way, but they didn't think there was anything inappropriate because they all respected Qi Zhengzhong from the bottom of their hearts.
