Chapter 391 The students’ admiring eyes
"Ah?" The two were puzzled.
The boss couldn't help laughing and explained: "The people who buy books are all scholars. They only come here in their spare time. There is no rest today. If you want to sell all the eggs today, you can only go to the academy."
He Zheng asked: "Is the academy far from here? We have too many eggs, and it's not easy to transport them there."
The boss said repeatedly: "Not far, not far, just in the street behind. We have a cart in our store. I can ask someone to help pull the books and eggs."
"Okay, let's go there."
These bosses are surnamed Xie, about forty years old. They were once famous for passing the Tongsheng exam a few years ago, but they failed the Xiucai exam twice and didn't have much hope for the imperial examination. They just stayed at the end of the street to sell books.
But when Boss Xie arrived, the dean came to pick him up in person, because he was the most promising student in the academy in their small place.
Boss Xie talked to the dean with great enthusiasm, and saw that the dean's expression was also much more energetic. When he heard that the other party was a Tongzilang, the dean even wanted to buy all the eggs.
But he was stopped by Boss Xie: "Dean, they said it was cooperation, which means they hope that both of us can win. He wants to sell eggs, but I don't want to sell books, you know... I want to let the students in our academy see hope."
The dean clearly felt that his dark eyes brightened up again, and the old man asked tentatively: "You... Are you still unwilling?"
Boss Xie smiled and said: "Of course, I didn't even pass the exam to become a scholar, and I am not even qualified to participate in the autumn exam. How can I be willing? The teachers all regard me as the most promising seedling, and I am not even fifty years old now, why should I give up?"
As he said, he looked at the children at the entrance of the academy and said with great energy: "I want the hope they bring to me to everyone in the academy. I hope that more and more students, scholars, and even candidates will be selected from here."
Passing the imperial examination is the highest honor in the hearts of scholars.
The dean was also touched. He sighed and smiled, "Okay, take them into the academy. I'll call all the students out."
"Okay."
Guangming Academy.
Under the protection of Bu Yan not far away, the five young boys sat on the cart supported by Boss Xie, holding several large baskets of eggs on the cart, and slowly entered the academy.
Zong Wenxiu asked worriedly: "Jincheng, their academy is so shabby, do the students there really have spare money to buy eggs?"
Zong Jincheng thought for a while and said: "There should be, after all, we give away eggs with the purchase of books, and Boss Xie said that their books are cheap, and you can buy one for 40 wen. The ten eggs we give away with each book add up to 50 wen, and Boss Xie promised to sell each book for only 45 wen, and the reduction will come from their books."
Shen Yibai laughed and said: "Boss Xie is so nice, we are lucky."
He Zheng joked: "It's just that it will involve performing arts later, Brother Bai, you have to be prepared."
"Ah? What kind of performing arts? No need to reveal your identity?" Shen Yibai instantly became timid, he was terribly embarrassed.
Zong Jincheng laughed and said, "Just recite a book, you are good at this."
Shen Yibai felt relieved instantly: "Oh, that's easy, I can recite it for him from day to night."
There are more than 200 students in Guangming Academy. They were originally listening to the teachers reading in the room. When they heard that several boys came to the academy, the quiet academy suddenly exploded.
"Where are they? Where are they? Are there really Tongzilang? I thought no one took the Tongzi exam because it was too difficult."
"There are indeed, not only did they pass, they also came to our academy, my God, did the dean recruit them to study here?"
"Alive, alive Tongzilang, my goodness, if I could study with Tongzilang, my ancestral graves would emit green smoke!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, there are several Tongzilang, now the ancestral graves in our village should take turns to emit green smoke."
"Hahaha..."
Students of all ages were gathered together by the dean to listen to Boss Xie, their former excellent senior brother, introduce them to the five young boys sitting on the stage.
Five youngsters between ten and thirteen years old, all of them confidently greeted them: "Hello everyone."
The students below were excited again: "Five! All five are Tongzilang?!"
"They are really young, all of them are child prodigies."
"Nonsense, Tongzilang can only be taken by those under twelve years old, they have to be very old, and they can't take the Tongzike."
"It's amazing, we can't even pass the Tongsheng exam, but they are so young that they passed the Tongzilang exam, which is equivalent to a Xiucai, and can take part in the Autumn Examination!"
Boss Xie said with a smile: "These five young men are from the capital, they don't want to reveal their names and identities, just do a simple . If you have any questions, you can ask them on stage after buying a book. The number is limited, less than 100 places, and we will answer them until all the questions are answered. "
Shen Yibai heard this and teased He Zheng and the others: "The wool still comes from the sheep. I thought that the five cents was unilaterally reduced by Boss Xie. It turns out that we still have to answer the questions. "
Zong Jincheng laughed and said: "Just answer it. It's much easier than reciting books all the time. We can take turns to answer. "
Zong Wenxiu added: "Anyway, as long as we don't reveal our identities and don't reduce the price, we can complete the task. I see that there are many people below, and some people have already started to line up to buy books. "
Boss Xie didn't know why the five mysterious boys came here to sell eggs, but if he told them directly, it might reduce their influence in the students' hearts, so Boss Xie didn't mention the eggs at all, and only let the students think that he invited these boys to sell books.
The boys were completely unaware of his little thoughts, and the dean even sent people to serve them tea and water, ready to face the students' bombardment of questions.
The first student was a 19-year-old boy. He asked He Zheng nervously: "Hello, boy, how many years have you studied before you passed the boy's exam?"
He Zheng smiled and said: "Two years. I started to study in June of the year before last, and I passed the boy's exam in March this year." Moreover, he was the first boy this year, the first in the country.
But he didn't say this, otherwise it would be very easy to find out who he was.
"Oh my God!!" The boy couldn't believe it. He cast a shocked look at his classmates who heard it behind him. He couldn't believe it.
Child prodigies...are they all so amazing?
Many of them have studied for more than ten years but still failed to pass the Tongsheng exam. As for the most difficult Tongzi exam, they don’t even have the courage to go to the capital to try.
The young man behind him hurriedly urged him to leave, and ran up to him excitedly and asked: "Is the content of the Tongzi exam more difficult than that of the Tongsheng exam?"
Wei Xinglu replied: "It's difficult. You have to test the Four Books and Five Classics. You have to be able to recite, understand, and translate. The amount of questions is very large. We were released after five days in the Gongyuan."
Another student came up and asked: "You actually went to the Gongyuan for the exam. What does the Gongyuan look like? Is it the same as an ordinary room? Our county exams are all in academies or temples, and we have never seen the Gongyuan."
Zong Jincheng complained bluntly: "The Gongyuan is just a countless number of small dark rooms. No one can see each other. There is nothing except tables and stools. Oh, yes, there are mice in it, a lot of mice, especially at night. People can't sleep well because of the chirping, for fear that it will crawl on my face."
