CHAPTER XXI

Liuli returned to the hall, burying her head on the table angrily, and no one paid attention to it.

Liu Jun is the closest to her, and knows why she gambles weekdays, so she naturally knows what she is sad about at the moment. The first classmates made fun of the people who pursued the rankings in the Jiji camp, and he didn't step forward to stop the rebuttal because of his feelings, and at this moment he felt a faint guilt for Liuli, a close friend. Liuli ignored people, so he took the initiative to come up.

I didn't know how to comfort people, so I thought for a while before saying, "Actually, your ranking has advanced a lot......"

The more he said the ranking, the more annoyed Ruri became, "Go away!" ”

It was the first time Liu Jun had been scolded by someone he was very close to, and he was stunned for a while instead of being annoyed, thinking that he wouldn't be disgusted with me.

Liuli wiped her tears unconvinced, and finally cheered up, thinking that when she was a child, her mother urged her to study, she was always lazy and slippery, and now although she is working hard, she has only worked hard for a few months. And Ruyi must have never been lazy when she was young. So at the moment, it is natural that she is better at exams than her. Therefore, she is not a real loser, and she can compete again.

She sat up and was about to take out the book, but saw that Liu Jun was still stunned, with a blank expression.

Liuli didn't expect Liu Jun to be there, and Liu Jun didn't expect Liuli to stop crying. The two of them suddenly looked at each other.

After a moment, Ruri looked awkwardly, "You said that I have advanced a lot in the rankings - how much has I advanced!" ”

Liu Jun's gaze finally came alive again, and he said busily, "You used to be ranked third at the bottom of the list, but now you are in the middle of the list!" ”

Ruri was annoyed - she had counted down before! And this person knows her ranking, but he sees her arrogant and complacent, and I don't know if he makes fun of her in his heart.

Liu Jun's mind was already alive, and he knew that he had lost his words, so he immediately added, "Actually, why do you care about the ranking, Mr. is testing the scriptures and verses, but what you are good at is poetry and songs." Scripture emphasizes quality over literature, but poetry emphasizes literature over quality, which is extremely difficult to achieve both. ”

Liuli said, "How can Xu Yi be able to do both?!" ”

Liu Jun choked on her. Although he also wondered how she could call Xu Yi's name like the Elder Venerable, there were too many facts that Liuli did that caught him off guard, and he couldn't delve into them one by one. At the same time, listening to Liuli pushing Xu Yi, his mind suddenly became a little delicate. said with a complicated mood, "There is also a first-class Zhong Lingyuxiu family in the world, and you can raise that kind of amazing and brilliant person......"

He was also a child of a wealthy family, although his family was not very noble, but his family was also prosperous in poetry and books. Since he was a child, he has not lost to anyone in learning, which is enough to be proud of. At this moment, I suddenly felt that an insurmountable mountain was erected in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

They spoke as if no one was around.

Although Liu Jun knows the ranking of everyone in the museum, he understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, and he has never shown it. At this time, because he was in a hurry to comfort Liuli, he inadvertently confided in. The ears of the surrounding teenagers immediately pricked up.

They are all smart and agile, and naturally they know where Liu Jun's ranking came from-realizing that there is a list in the hearts of the doctors, which is to rank the family and the poor family on the same list, they can't help but care at the same time.

It's one thing not to look at it, but it's another thing to know about it, but it's another thing to have someone next to them who knows it all about it.

After all, they are young, and although they are more or less infected by the door wind, they still retain their human nature to some extent. Since there is competition, even if you don't bother to fight, you faintly hope that you can overpower others.

couldn't help but look at Liu Jun.

But no one asked first, because the self-motivated spirit was also made fun of by the family. They are ashamed to let people know that they care about their grades, and they have a competitive heart for the children of the poor.

was struggling, so he listened to Zhang Ben say, "Does Brother Liu know the ranking of the list?" ”

His voice was clear, and he was eager to try, and he asked very calmly. Everyone couldn't help but think - sure enough, he was the only one who could ask innocently.

Liu Jun frowned - after all, he was close to the water, and he knew that Zhang Ben was on the second list one step ahead of others. After asking his uncle, he naturally knew that Zhang Ben was Zhang Hua's son.

Although Liu Jun didn't hate him, he didn't want to pay much attention to him when he thought that Liuli might have been deceived by him and actually vouched for his origin.

But he didn't want to arouse Zhang Ben's suspicions, so he still covered up his feelings in the end, and said lukewarmly, "I only hear one or two when I hear my uncle sigh." ”

Zhang Ben said happily, "Did Mr. mention me?" What is my number one? ”

Liu Jun said, "Hasn't it been posted, and it's the first place on the B list." Seeing that Liuli also showed a concerned and inquiring expression, he could only reluctantly add, "Ranked third, after Xu Gongzi." ”

Liu Jun has actually pointed out the key point - Zhang Ben is on the B list. But Zhang Ben was all focused on the rank, and he didn't think about it for a while, only sighed in surprise, "I can't imagine that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world." ”

The doctors who teach in Guozi are all well-known Confucian students in China, even if they are teaching naughty children in the kindergarten to read, they also put on a posture of teaching "Guozi".

Children in their early teens are very good at being able to write clearly and recite the scriptures clearly. Those who can quote scriptures and write articles cannot do it without geniuses. But after more than half a year of β–‘β–‘ by the doctors, most of the students in Guozi Studies are now able to explain the articles in a clear and coherent manner - of course, whether they have their own opinions or not, whether the words are smooth or not is another matter, but compared with students of the same age outside, it is already very good.

Zhang Ben came late, and everyone felt that he might not be able to keep up with his homework. As a result, he was the third place in the museum as soon as he took the exam, and listening to his tone, not only did he take it for granted, but he even had the luxury of being at the top of the list?

The crowd was silent for a long time and asked, "Who did you study under before you entered the school?" ”

Zhang Ben knew that he was speechless, and covered up, "I once studied under Liu Gongmen in Xiang County, Peiguo, Mr. is the most famous Confucian in Xiang County, and I am also a leader among my classmates, and I was once very complacent...... However, at this moment, I understood why Hebo sighed in the ocean. It turned out that my husband recommended me to enter the country because of such painstaking efforts. ”

He was modest and polite in his words, but the ranking was there, and everyone was ranked behind him, so naturally he couldn't regain his sense of superiority. He remained silent.

I don't know who spoke again, "Why are you on the second list?" ”

The audience immediately woke up - the second list was a student from the Hanmen Shu clan. Isn't it annoying that the children of the poor family are mixed among the Chinese people, and they still talk and laugh with them in a big way?

But then I thought that Zhang Ben had Zhang Li as a guarantor for him after all, maybe Mr. made a mistake on the list? They were not in a hurry to draw conclusions, but quietly moved away and asked, "Yes...... Aren't you after Pengcheng Zhang? ”

-- Zhang Ben never admitted this matter head-on. After all, his father had made a big mistake in this matter, and he didn't want to repeat it.

But the crowd asked him head-on, and he was not given a chance to be ambiguous.

Zhang Ben was smart and clever in every way, but at this time, he was suddenly choked and couldn't say a word.

Liuli suddenly stood up and said, "Naturally, Mr. made a mistake!" Cousin, he-"

"Cousin?" When everyone saw Zhang Ben's attitude, they already knew that there was something greasy in it. At this moment, when I heard Liuli's gaffe, I immediately understood what - Shishu intermarriage, although people will be accused of marrying eunuchs, but what is really guarded is actually the Shi clan marrying a daughter to the cold family. If it is a scholar who marries a woman from a poor family, although it will also be looked down upon and ridiculed, it will not be overly harsh. As for the concubines of the noble clan, it is even more commonplace.

Everyone speculated that Zhang Ben must be Zhang Li's brother, and his uncle's cousin is true-so, he even has a fake surname?

"Isn't he your brother?"

Liuli insisted, "Of course he is my brother, I just made a mistake." Anyway, I'll ask my sir to understand! ”

Everyone was suspicious. But it's not worth tearing your face with Liuli for this, so I'll listen to it.

On this day, Xu Yi came late, and when she entered the kindergarten, she met Ruyi and came back from watching the list.

He had just received a gift from Ruyi the day beforeβ€”but it was the same gnats he had bought. She didn't give it to him at the time, but afterwards she packed it in a box and gave it to him with a codex. Although it was a children's toy that she bought at her own expense, Xu Yi also found it very pleasantly surprised and interesting.

He stepped forward to greet Ruyi, but seeing that Ruyi was absent-minded, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ruyi pointed to the list to him. Xu Yi is so smart, as soon as she saw Zhang Ben on the B list, she immediately understood what Ruyi was worried about.

The Son of Heaven forced Zhang Ben'an to β–‘β–‘, and although he suppressed the complaints of the doctors, the hearts of the people were delicate, and the doctors still used a subtle but extremely effective method to bring their grievances to the table, along with the whole thing. Once Zhang Ben's identity is exposed, he will definitely be despised and excluded by everyone, and he can only retreat from the difficulties.

Xu Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Xu Yi looked at Ruyi and said slowly, "This is his own family matter, and he has to solve it himself." Outsiders can't help. Aren't you still annoyed that he doesn't dare to admit it? Let him go. ”

Ruyi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

She thought, what her cousin said was right, this was Zhang Ben's own family's business, and it was not her turn to intervene first. It's just that Zhang Ben and Liuli are in the same breath, once Zhang Ben's identity is exposed, Liuli's identity will not be able to be hidden. In case Liuli can't come to school again, will the Son of Heaven even sit on her and not allow her to come to school again?
