Chapter 44: Lift the table! Gu Jinnian is furious! [Six thousand words big update]
Sifang Restaurant.
With the sound of bells ringing.
Gu Jinnian also slowly opened his eyes.
After leaving the matter of selling tokens to Wang Fugui, Gu Jinnian seemed a little idle, so he took this opportunity to have a good night's rest.
If the bell hadn't rang, Gu Jinnian could have slept for two more hours.
"All students, please go to the entrance of the village and participate in the third assessment."
The voice sounded again.
Report in Xiaoxi Village.
Just after Gu Jinnian finished washing, Wang Fugui's figure appeared outside the door.
"Brother Gu."
"Are you awake?"
The voice sounded.
"Wake up, brother Wang, wait a moment."
After tidying up his appearance a little, Gu Jinnian opened the door.
At this moment, Wang Fugui, with a smile on his face, took out ten banknotes and handed them to Gu Jinnian.
"Brother Gu, the total price of all the tokens sold is ten thousand taels of gold."
"Each banknote has a face value of one thousand taels."
"Brother Gu, please check."
Wang Fugui said with a smile.
"Brother Wang's words are serious and there is no need to check them."
"Let's go to the entrance of the village together. When the assessment is over, we will have a good banquet to entertain Brother Wang."
Gu Jinnian calmly took the bank note, hid it in his sleeve, and then walked side by side with Wang Fugui openly.
"Brother Gu, you're welcome. If you don't mind, you can go to Suzhou for a while before enrolling in school."
"It's not that I'm bragging, but Suzhou is a paradise on earth. Whether it's eating, drinking or having fun, I guarantee that Brother Gu will never come back."
"Especially the Suzhou Tower Boat. It is a fairyland within a fairyland. I am not bragging. If you go on it, I guarantee that you will not be able to get off the boat for seven days and seven nights."
Wang Fugui said with a smile on his face.
Inviting Gu Jinnian to visit Suzhou.
But as soon as he said this, Gu Jinnian looked serious.
"Brother Wang, we are scholars who cultivate our minds and condense our energy, and are blessed with great righteousness. How can we go to a place like this?"
Gu Jinnian said seriously.
For a moment, Wang Fugui felt a little ashamed of himself, lowered his head slightly, and laughed sarcastically.
He just didn't wait for Wang Fugui to continue speaking.
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded again.
"Is it expensive?"
As the sound rang out.
Wang Fugui was stunned.
But he quickly smiled.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. As long as you come, Brother Gu, I guarantee that the arrangements will be clear and I will charter a boat for you so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Suzhou."
Wang Fugui is extremely generous.
"Brothers."
Gu Jinnian also smiled.
The future is promising.
Just when the two of them arrived on the first floor, Su Huaiyu's figure suddenly appeared here.
He didn't sleep all night and had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
"Brother Su."
Gu Jinnian said hello, and the latter nodded.
The three of them were speechless and walked towards the entrance of the village.
A quarter of a second.
The sun is blazing in the sky.
The entrance to Xiaoxi Village was already bustling with people.
At a glance, there were more than a thousand people.
No one who can enter Xiaoxi Village is a fool, they are all heroes from all over the country, whether they are good at poetry or other things.
And with the arrival of Gu Jinnian.
In an instant, many eyes gathered.
However, most eyes were not on Gu Jinnian, but on Wang Fugui.
"That's him. The person who sold the tokens yesterday was him."
"Okay, it turns out he is this kind of person. He is really disgusting."
"The person next to him is Gu Jinnian, the most handsome man in Kyoto."
"No wonder, it turns out to be a nest of snakes and rats."
"Hmph, you have no good intentions in collecting tokens. Daxia Academy is a sacred place for intellectuals in the world, but the level tokens are being sold. It's really disgusting."
Voices sounded one after another.
Everyone had great resentment towards Wang Fugui.
After all, almost no one present had received a token.
This means they are likely to be eliminated.
They came here just to enter Daxia Academy. Maybe they may not be able to enter Daxia Academy even if they get the token, but it is better than this situation.
Suddenly, resentment arose, and Gu Jinnian was even brought along to curse.
However, when they scolded Gu Jinnian, they still suppressed their voices and did not dare to speak loudly.
They couldn't afford to offend the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, but they would feel uncomfortable if they didn't scold him a word or two.
However, for Gu Jinnian.
Wisps of resentment surged towards him.
Although it's not much, it's still quite a lot.
The ancient tree absorbs these grievances. In Gu Jinnian's opinion, this is simply an unexpected surprise.
"Oh, I forgot about this. If I had known earlier, it would have been my idea to let Wang Fugui promote it."
Gu Jinnian felt a little regretful.
He needed to be angry and wasn't afraid of offending these people, but it was a pity that he didn't think of it at the time.
but.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in Gu Jinnian's eyes.
It's Zhang Yun's figure.
Among the crowd, Zhang Yun stood in the southeast, with dozens of people gathered around him. Although everyone was gathered together, it was obvious that these people had better relationships and deliberately avoided others to form a field.
Seeing Zhang Yun, Gu Jinnian immediately smiled.
"Brother Zhang."
"Brother Zhang."
"Why are you here too?"
"Have you gathered all the tokens?"
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded. He was very enthusiastic and greeted Zhang Yun.
among the crowd.
Zhang Yun was discussing things with some friends, including Xu Xinyun's affairs.
But before he finished speaking, he heard Gu Jinnian's voice ringing in his ears.
The most important thing is that when Gu Jinnian doesn't open a pot, he always asks if he has collected the tokens.
How could he endure this?
Looking around, Zhang Yun's eyes were full of disgust, but when he saw Su Huaiyu, his eyes calmed down a little.
But at this moment, someone's voice sounded in my ears.
"Brother Zhang, Wang Fugui is the person next to him."
"Okay, I said it's no wonder why Wang Fugui didn't sell the token to us. It turns out it's because of Gu Jinnian."
"Yes, although this Wang Fugui's family is rich, if I give him ten courages, he would not dare to offend us."
"I didn't expect that Gu Jinnian would support him."
"Brother Zhang, this Gu Jinnian is really arrogant and domineering, riding on our faces."
Suddenly, when everyone saw Wang Fugui and Gu Jinnian walking side by side, everyone suddenly realized.
The most angry people were this group of people. Yesterday they were the first to arrive at the inn, but what they didn't expect was that Wang Fugui refused to sell them the token and didn't give them any reason.
When they met today, they completely understood.
Hear what everyone is saying.
Zhang Yun couldn't sit still at all.
"Gu Jinnian."
"Are you really going to break up?"
He took a step forward, looked at Gu Jinnian, and spoke directly without any fear.
He is the son of a dignified Confucian and has nothing to fear from Gu Jinnian.
"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?"
Looking at Zhang Yun with an angry face, Gu Jinnian pretended to be confused.
"Don't be pretentious."
"Did you ask Wang Fugui not to sell this token to my friends?"
Zhang Yun was too lazy to make excuses with Gu Jinnian.
Open the skylight and speak frankly.
He even deliberately amplified his voice to attract people to watch.
"yes."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Brother Zhang, aren't you angry anymore?"
Gu Jinnian nodded and answered honestly.
Zhang Yun: "......"
He was a little dazed.
I really didn't expect Gu Jinnian to answer so directly, and specifically asked himself if he would be angry?
I'm not your sister.
At this moment, resentment surged in, making the fruit of resentment almost ripe.
"Gu Jinnian."
"You disrespect Daxia Academy, despise the imperial power, collect tokens, and sell them. Do you still have Confucianism in your eyes?"
Zhang Yun was a little angry. He pointed at Gu Jinnian and shouted angrily.
"What a big hat."
"Brother Zhang, just because your voice is loud doesn't mean it's reasonable."
"I collected the tokens. Whether or not to sell them to you is my freedom."
"If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the dean to argue. If the dean doesn't accept it, you can go to His Majesty."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, but also directly admitted that he collected the tokens himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this.
More resentment came.
There was hatred for him from all directions.
But a sneer flashed in Zhang Yun's eyes, and he was waiting for Gu Jinnian's words.
"Studying is a matter of respecting heaven and earth and promoting righteousness, but it has become a business in your hands."
"It really taints the scholars like us."
"Gu Jinnian, you don't have to pretend here."
"When the examination is over, I will go to Daxia Academy to file a complaint against you on behalf of all the candidates today."
Zhang Yun spoke up. Not only did he bluntly say that he wanted to file a complaint, but he also involved other people. With one sentence, he stood on the moral high ground for all the candidates today.
"oh."
Gu Jinnian nodded and said disapprovingly.
For a moment, Zhang Yun felt a little uncomfortable.
I've said so much, why don't you just do it?
Where's my oh nima.
It was at this time.
A voice suddenly sounded.
"quiet."
The voice sounded, coming from the center of the crowd.
Soon, everyone became quiet.
No one spoke.
remain silent.
"Those who read his name will come out."
The voice rang again, because there were so many candidates blocking the front that it was impossible to see who was speaking.
"Su Huaiyu."
"Gu Jinnian."
"Wang Fugui."
"Zeng Ping."
"Liu Suran."
The sound continued.
At the moment, Gu Jinnian did not stay here and walked towards the crowd.
Soon, he passed through the crowd.
At the entrance of Xiaoxi Village, there are desks placed on an extremely spacious area.
Above the desk, there are four treasures of the study.
Obviously, the third level of assessment should be poetry and articles.
And the examination center.
A man in his mid-twenties, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in appearance, wearing a white Confucian robe and looking serious.
He holds the roster in his hand and is calling the names.
The list was very long, and it took about as long as a stick of incense to be recited, and all 188 people were listed in front of it.
These are all people with tokens.
"I am Cheng Ming. By order of my master, I am here to preside over the third level assessment today."
"Anyone who displays will be assessed for seating. Those who do not display will be deemed to have failed the second level assessment and will come back next time."
Cheng Ming opened his mouth and informed everyone of the rules.
Just saying this caused a huge reaction in an instant.
"Why?"
"That's not fair."
"Why can't we take the exam?"
"May I ask Cheng Ru, where is the second test?"
All of a sudden, various sounds sounded.
Most people have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and they naturally don't want to fail suddenly like this.
Facing the chaotic sounds, Cheng Mingming remained calm.
"The second test is the Heaven and Earth Command Arrows. If you have two Heaven and Earth Command Arrows, you will be deemed to have passed the test."
"There are a total of one hundred and eighty-eight command arrows placed in Xiaoxi Village."
Cheng Ming spoke up and explained.
But after saying this, there are still a large number of dissenters.
Among them, some were more radical and walked forward directly and looked at Cheng Mingdao.
"Cheng Ru."
"We understand and agree with Jing Sheng's intention, but this is unfair."
"Some people know the test questions in advance, collect tokens, and then sell them for resale, making it impossible for us to pass the test. But secondly, students believe that such behavior slanders the holy place of the examination room and tarnishes us scholars."
"I beg Cheng Ru to uphold justice for us, otherwise the students will not accept it."
Someone made a sound, he clenched his fists, looked at Cheng Ming, and then stared at Gu Jinnian and Wang Fugui, the hatred in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"right."
"Cheng Ru, I'm not convinced."
"If you lose like this, I'll be dissatisfied."
"Someone collects tokens and deliberately sells them to people with ordinary talents. They want to use such tricks to get away with it. It is really disgusting."
"If you don't have the ability, don't come here for reference. Daxia Academy cannot tolerate villains living there for a long time."
Voices sounded one after another.
Zhang Yun even walked out directly.
Looking at Cheng Mingdao.
"Cheng Ru, I, Zhang Yun, today reported Gu Jinnian for reselling tokens, affecting the fairness of the examination room, and tarnishing the Holy Land of Daxia. I beg Cheng Ru to uphold justice for us scholars."
Zhang Yun spoke.
No one dared to accuse Gu Jinnian openly, but he did, and he was willing to be the one who stood out.
The noise was huge.
Cheng Ming looked calm, he had expected this.
After all, these people have come all the way here. Who doesn’t want to enter Daxia Academy? It’s normal to be unconvinced after losing here.
However, Cheng Ming did not scold Gu Jinnian angrily, but looked at Gu Jinnian and said.
"Gu Jinnian."
"Is this serious?"
He asked, his expression indifferent.
Hearing Cheng Ming's voice, Gu Jinnian disagreed.
"Back to Cheng Ru, the students recognized the first half of the sentence, but not the second half."
Gu Jinnian nodded.
"Why?"
Cheng Ming was curious and asked directly.
"Students don't think this affects fairness."
"Furthermore, students think this is more fair. Five hundred taels of silver are exchanged for the opportunity to enter the second level. I dare to ask, isn't this fair enough?"
Gu Jinnian said calmly and calmly.
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Because if you think about it carefully, it's true.
Five hundred taels of silver is required to pass the test. This is really fair. Assuming that the amount is sufficient, I believe everyone will be willing to shell out this amount of silver.
"absurd."
However, Cheng Ming's voice sounded.
He stood in the center with a slightly cold gaze, looking at Gu Jinnian with an unkind look.
"How can the entrance examination of the dignified Daxia Academy be tainted with silver coins?"
"You can buy a place in the academy with two taels of silver. I would like to ask you, is this fair to these children from poor families?"
Cheng Ming frowned.
Originally, Gu Jinnian just bowed his head, admitted his mistake, and let it go.
After all, my teacher didn't want to take care of it, so I couldn't say anything.
But he didn't expect that Gu Jinnian didn't have any sense of shame, and instead felt proud. How could this not make him angry?
Feel Cheng Ming's anger.
Gu Jinnian frowned slightly.
"Cheng Ru's words are a bit serious."
"How many poor families are able to enter this place? There are really poor families who can come to Daxia Academy in just a few days. This speed is fast enough."
"I think there are many wealthy people behind it. Just five hundred taels of silver is nothing, right?"
Gu Jinnian really didn't think it was unfair.
There is no such thing as a poor family.
From ancient times to the present, it is impossible for Zhenger Ba Jing to reach this point just by relying on his own humble family.
What a joke.
If a well-known local scholar comes from a poor family, he or she is qualified to take the examination at Daxia Academy.
Among other things, some well-known local wealthy households are eager to stuff their money into their belts.
The government will also contact you as soon as possible.
I don’t say how much money I will give, but at least it won’t be too little, especially at the level of Daxia Academy.
Do you really think of a child from a poor family as the kind of scholar who can't take the blame?
From such a humble family, there is no chance to take part in the assessment.
"Full of nonsense."
However, Cheng Ming spoke directly and angrily accused Gu Jinnian of talking nonsense.
"Ah, yes, yes."
Gu Jinnian nodded.
Originally, he didn't have any big objections to Cheng Ming.
After all, what he did was a bit excessive in the eyes of some upright scholars.
But many things require rules and principles. If you are too idealistic, you will only be unlucky.
Now it seems that this Cheng Ming is obviously that kind of idealistic Confucian scholar, and he also has many personal emotions.
So there’s nothing to say, ah, yes, yes, that’s it.
"you."
Cheng Ming was angered by Gu Jinnian's words.
In an instant, a massive amount of resentment surged in, causing the fruits of resentment in the ancient tree to fully mature.
But this also means that Cheng Ming is really angry.
but.
Cheng Ming did not continue to rebuke Gu Jinnian.
Instead, he looked at the crowd and said.
"The dean is already aware of this matter."
"What Gu Jinnian did was indeed inappropriate, but it was within the rules."
"Therefore, the dean has set another assessment."
"Those who do not have a token can directly enter the third level of the exam."
"But the ranking must be in the top 50 before you can be selected. If you don't reach the top 50, your qualifications for next year's admission will be cancelled."
"If you choose to quit now, you can come back next time. It's your choice."
Cheng Ming held back his anger and did not explode. Instead, he told another assessment method.
After this plan was announced.
Once again aroused public discussion.
It's just that this time it's obviously better than before.
Although it still didn't satisfy them, it was better than now, which would directly disqualify them.
"Cheng Ru, the student is willing to take the exam."
At that moment, Zhang Yun's voice sounded.
He took a few steps forward and came to the queue, willing to take part in the assessment.
"good."
Cheng Ming nodded, but didn't say much.
"I do too."
"I'll come too."
"The first fifty is enough, and I'm willing to do that too."
"If I don't get admitted this year and wait another three years, I can't wait any longer, so I'll apply for it too."
Voices sounded one after another.
After a while, hundreds of people entered the queue.
But more people are still silent.
They can't afford the gamble.
After all, if they fail this time, they won't be able to wait for another three years.
Moreover, Mr. Wen Jing was the host this time, and the whole assessment was so weird that they couldn't stand it.
It's better to wait and see next time, maybe it will be normal.
in this way.
After a stick of incense.
The number of people was finally determined at three hundred.
Cheng Ming glanced at it.
Then he nodded.
"The third test of Daxia Academy is about to begin."
"Except for Gu Jinnian, all candidates can take their seats as they wish."
Cheng Ming opened his mouth, but he specifically told Gu Jinnian not to take his seat.
In an instant, many people smiled. They understood that Cheng Ming was causing trouble for Gu Jinnian.
But this is normal.
It is true that Gu Jinnian is the grandson of the Duke, but he should never offend a Confucian scholar.
Especially Su Wenjing’s students.
What these Confucian officials like most is to angrily attack the powerful.
Seeing that Gu Jinnian was defeated, they were naturally happy.
Among the crowd, Gu Jinnian remained silent while the others sat down one after another. Zhang Yun looked at Gu Jinnian with interest, his eyes filled with pride.
However, there were still two people who were yet to take their seats.
One is Su Huaiyu and the other is Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui seemed a little hesitant. He wanted to sit down but was conflicted. After all, if he sat down, his relationship with the prince might fade away.
But if you don't sit down, you will offend Cheng Ming and be in a dilemma.
"Su Huaiyu, Wang Fugui, why don't you take your seats?"
Cheng Ming looked indifferent and looked at the two people and asked directly.
Su Huaiyu said nothing and was extremely cold.
As for Wang Fugui, he lowered his head and dared not speak, feeling nervous and confused.
"Dare to ask Cheng Ru."
"Everyone can sit down, why am I left alone?"
Wang Fugui was silent, and Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.
Hear this.
Cheng Ming was more direct, looking at Gu Jinnian and said.
"In the examination room, in case someone cheats, I will let you sit in the front row to avoid any controversy."
"When they are seated, you can come over alone and sit here."
Cheng Ming is very direct.
The meaning of this sentence is also very simple.
You like to use tricks when doing things, but you are definitely not good at writing articles. I am afraid that you will cheat and plagiarize, so just sit in front of me.
obviously.
This Master Cheng Ming was really hostile to Gu Jinnian and disliked Gu Jinnian's behavior.
"Understood."
Gu Jinnian nodded, it would be nice to get an answer.
next moment.
He came to the desk pointed by Cheng Ming.
Just when everyone thought Gu Jinnian was about to take his seat.
Suddenly.
Bang.
A huge noise exploded.
The table in front of him was instantly kicked away by Gu Jinnian.
In an instant.
Everyone was stunned.
Who would have thought that Gu Jinnian would dare to do this?
Isn't this too dandy?
Including Cheng Ming.
"Gu Jinnian."
"You are presumptuous."
Soon, as Cheng Ming came back to his senses, roars started to sound.
This is the examination room.
Gu Jinnian kicked the desk away. This was simply disrespectful and disrespectful to Daxia Academy.
"Shut up."
"Like a dog."
"Who do you think you are in the eyes of this prince?"
"If I don't show off my power, do you really think that my son is easy to bully?"
"Give you face?"
A cold voice sounded.
Gu Jinnian's face was cold. He looked at Cheng Ming, and a powerful aura spread out.
who is he?
The most powerful person in Daxia.
The grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo.
The son of Linyang Hou.
In the entrance exam, be polite and show courtesy. That is respect for Wenjing Half Saint.
Does he really think he is easy to bully?
Okay.
You like disgusting people, right?
You like to cause trouble, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Jinnian took a deep breath.
Then he spoke slowly.
"Uncle Six."
"Come quickly."
the sound rang,
In an instant.
A figure appeared next to Gu Jinnian.
at the same time.
Figures appeared in all directions around, standing on the wall of the house, with a thunder knife tied to their waist and holding a divine crossbow in their hands. Their cold eyes were focused on everyone in the examination room.
"Who dares to bully my eldest nephew?"
A figure appears.
It's Gu Ningya.
With cold eyes, he inspected everyone present.
In an instant, cold air filled the entire examination room, and everyone felt the terrible coldness.
