Chapter 117: Horse Step

The day of the entrance ceremony finally arrived, and the main gate of Nanhuai Academy was crowded with people. Although Zidui can be admitted without examination, Yang Zixi felt that she should still bring the little one to feel the atmosphere of competition, so Renhetang closed for a day, she took Yang Rui and others, and dragged the reluctant Zidui to the academy.

Speaking of Nanhuai Academy, it has a history of more than 200 years. In the previous dynasty, it was a place for Taoist priests, and many Taoist temples and palaces were built. Later, the former dynasty great Confucian Yin Nantian built a cedar temple to study here, forty-eight years later, Yin Nantian, who was a member of the first grade, said goodbye to the old and returned to his hometown, remembering the old place, so he "cut the land and build a house" here, and built a "layman" school, Nanhuai Academy was gradually born on this basis.

In the current dynasty, the Nanhuai Academy has become the place where the people of the world are connected, the plaque of the founding emperor personally wrote the 'Nanhuai Academy', and many inscriptions stored in the academy are also the handwritten letters of the emperors of the current dynasty. With the support of the royal family, the number of students and the scale of the academy have grown significantly, and it has gradually become the first academy in the world. The successive presidents of Nanhuai Academy have maintained a relationship with the court, and most of the students who graduate from Nanhuai Academy every year also enter the court as officials, so there is a saying among the people: entering Nanhuai Academy is equivalent to stepping into the court with half a foot.

Nanhuai Academy covers an area of about half the size of Huaizhou City, during which the heavy building is jade, and the border cannot be seen at a glance. The academy is self-contained, all teachers and students eat, drink, live and travel in it, and they are not allowed to go out at will, which can be said to be an independent small city. A rockery stone workshop at the gate blocked everyone's view, and the entrance ceremony was placed here.

The long tables lined up, pen, ink, paper, and inkstones have been prepared. The entrance ceremony is actually very simple, that is, each person draws lots in order. Write a poem on the topic you caught. Of course, what seems like a simple test is actually not simple. Because it is an improvisational poem, in addition to considering the literary style, it also tests the psychological quality of the students, and the Confucians also have a certain pickiness about calligraphy, and the qualifications of the students who can pass the test are still relatively good.

There are teenagers who take the exam, there are also pulsatillas who have repeatedly failed the exam, and there are also a few children of the same age as Zidui, most of them are the children of rich and noble families, and they were sent to Nanhuai Academy for further study early.

Bustling crowds. Invariably crowded forward, everyone wants to take turns to draw lots to compose poems, the quality of the poem is determined by the chief examiner, hundreds of candidates, the chief examiner has to review for three full days, of course, the more aesthetic fatigue will be the more later, and the person who takes the lead is relatively easier to pass.

"Look! See? If I don't get you a free entrance exam, you will have to go in and draw lots today. Yang Zixi said to Zidui, "You have little arms and legs." At that time, I don't know where the road will be squeezed to. ”

Zi Du rolled her eyes: "How can Xiao Ye be bored with this group of mortals to grab paper balls and play (draw lots)?" If you want to grab it, it's also Yang Rui! ”

"Yes! Be! Be! Nature is small on! The little one must come back with a good topic for the little master! Yang Rui, who was accompanying him on the side, hurriedly picked up the words.

Yang Zixi: "......"

In fact, Zidui is not wrong in what he said, only the single students who go to the exam in the crowd will go into battle in person, and most of the rich lords are servants who compete for lots instead, and they stand by and wait to drink water and eat refreshments. Prepare to take the exam in the best possible condition.

"What about poetry? Will you? Yang Zixi unswervingly carried out the re-education work, "The opportunity to study in Nanhuai Academy is not easy, you have to cherish it!" ”

Zi Du snorted arrogantly. didn't refute it again, he saw through it during this time. If Yang Zixi, a school bully, is allowed to talk about any topic of studying hard every day, it will be a fatigue bombardment. If she doesn't talk about it for more than an hour, she won't give up!

So the best way to deal with it is: silence is golden!

Seeing that the little guy acquiesced, Yang Zixi was very satisfied, and let Zi Du enter the highest school in this dynasty, even if her responsibility was fulfilled, the next thing to do was to see his own efforts. Like any uneasy parent, Yang Zixi feels that education and constant reminders are essential!

After each of them made up for each other's reactions, they both gained psychological balance. Seeing the surging crowd in front of them, in the hearts of everyone in the medical hall, a sense of superiority through the back door spontaneously emerged.

At this moment, I saw the sound of horses whistling in the distance, and a galloping carriage crossed the air, and the coachman desperately pulled the reins, but still could not brake the horses' hooves. The galloping horse slammed into the crowd by inertia, startling a shout.

The crowd dispersed like a tide, and a few people could not dodge, and were knocked to the ground, rolling to avoid the trampling of the horses' hooves, and the coachman finally restrained the carriage, and as soon as the door opened, a little fat man in a brocade robe ran down from the carriage, shouting and scolding at the entourage behind him: "You useless minions! If you missed the exam because of you, I won't be able to kill you if I look back! With that, he went straight to the test venue.

The entourage who got off the bus didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly helped up the injured candidates with the coachman, and apologized to them.

Yang Zixi, who was watching from the sidelines, frowned unconsciously, and those people seemed to have fallen quite lightly.

The little fat man squeezed into the crowd for a while, and found that he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he hurriedly turned around and said to his entourage: "Deshun! Don't you want to die yet? What are you busy with? ”

The attendant named Deshun had no choice but to reply: "Master! Our carriage hit someone. ”

The little fat man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you hit it, you hit it!" How big of a deal? Master's exam matters! Scatter some money and send it away as soon as possible. ”

Several scholars who were helped up were furious when they heard this, and they scolded loudly.

"Who? Is it reasonable to hit someone? Isn't it a big deal to wait until the horse steps to death? ”

"That's it! Rich is amazing, huh? Who scarces your money? ”

"Give us a public apology! Otherwise, don't think about the exam! ”

A crowd of people started clamoring and shouting.

Yang Zixi has been silent, only paying attention to a pale scholar, when he was helped up by the entourage called Deshun, his eyes were a little dull, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and he did not say a word.

Deshun patted the ash on his clothes, stuffed a silver ticket into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry!" Our horse was shocked, and it was not intentional, what an accident! Our young master is young and ignorant, so don't take his words to heart. ”

The man was stunned and didn't respond, just staring at Deshun's face, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was looking at.

Deshun's scalp was a little numb when he saw it, so he turned his face and hurriedly apologized to the victim next to him.

Yang Zixi saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked towards the crowd, ready to step forward to check one or two, but before he got close to the person, suddenly the person snorted, and a large amount of blood spurted out of his mouth and nose!

The crowd of onlookers was stunned, and the hustle and bustle suddenly came, and there was silence.

Leaning on his nearest Deshun was sprayed with blood, the whole person was stunned, he wiped his face with trembling hands, and a scream broke the silence.

"Oh no! It's a fatality! ”

"Blood! Blood! That's a lot of blood! ”

"Oh my God! Dead! ”

The hysterical crowd shouted, and everyone stayed away from the scholar who had fallen to the ground.

Yang Zixi squeezed forward desperately, but because her body was too small, she was farther and farther away by the crowd outside, she was anxious and shouted loudly: "Let me go!" I'm a doctor at Renhetang! Let's let that man still be saved! Unfortunately, before the sound could be heard, it was drowned out by the clamour.

Just when she was at a loss, a small hand firmly clasped her wrist, and then rushed out of the crowd like a wave. Seeing Zidu's little arm, everyone couldn't help but dodge it, it was just a thousand pounds, it was easy!

Out of the crowd, the little guy hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "How is it?" If the master comes to squeeze by himself, this group of mortals will not be my opponent at all! ”

Yang Zixi didn't care to say much to him, and hurriedly rushed forward to check on the scholar's condition.

The man had a distinct horse's hoof print on the corner of his forehead, apparently struck on the forehead by a galloping horse. Judging from his condition, it is likely that he has a skull fracture, and of course, it will take an X-ray to confirm the diagnosis. Yang Zixi wiped his hand and he spurted blood, which contained a viscous yellow liquid, which was a trace of a rhinorrhea in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The scholar himself has fallen into a coma again, and his condition is very serious, and he must be operated on as soon as possible. Yang Rui and the others also rushed in without the human wall, and Yang Zixi ordered them to go back immediately and drag the roller bed.

After a while, the Confucian in charge of the examination called Dean Sima, and when Dean Sima saw this, Dean Sima hurriedly asked, "Are people still alive?" ”

"It's still alive," Yang Zixi nodded, "But if you can't operate in time, it is estimated that you won't live long." ”

Dean Sima was stunned for a moment, and shouted at the surrounding onlookers: "Get out of the way, today's entrance exam is abandoned, and tomorrow will be postponed." ”

The scholars let out a series of sighs, and most of them were reluctant to leave, and gathered around to watch.

Dean Sima said again: "Those who don't leave will not be used tomorrow, and Nanhuai Academy will be eliminated directly!" ”

There was a bang, and the birds and beasts were exhausted in an instant, and the scholars ran away with rolling and crawling, for fear that they would be drawn into the ranks that they would not leave.

Dean Sima Fang bowed his head and said to Yang Zixi: "Okay, it's all cleared, what else can we help with?" ”

The roller bed was also pushed at this time, and Yang Rui and others carefully moved the scholar to the bed and tied the fixed rope. Yang Zixi didn't have time to say hello, so he only said: "The dean is busy helping to keep the culprit of the arrogance and trampling people, and Ming'er will let him come to Renhetang to pay for the consultation!" And he hurried away.

Dean Sima was stunned for a moment, and looked around, in addition to the Academy Confucians who were in charge of the examination, where were the candidates who took the exam? The carriage had already slipped away from the chaos, leaving no trace on the scene except for a pool of bright red blood.

It's a nuisance to clear the field too quickly! Dean Sima, who was not good at reasoning and detection, fell into deep thought. (To be continued......)
