The Star Picking Academy is located in the east of the Stone City, and because of its early establishment, the area it occupies is not as vast as the three academies that appeared later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But even if the area is not large, the four words of the Star Picking Academy still occupy a certain position among the scholars in the city, but now with the current situation, the position of the Star Picking Academy in the hearts of the readers, as well as the influence it brings, are being swallowed up by the other three academies little by little.

After about half an hour, when he saw that Gao Gaoming had stopped walking in the surrounding walls and there were no traces of pedestrians around the building, he also asked in surprise

"Senior brother, this is the Star Picking Academy?"

Looking at the deserted area in front of the door, except for a few weeping willows swaying in the wind, he also nodded

"That's right, this is the Star Picking Academy."

After hearing the words "This is the Star Picking Academy" from Gao Gao's mouth, Zhang Hua suddenly felt a trace of incongruity.

As the number one academy in the hearts of scholars in Stone City, how could it be like this?

Dilapidated, deserted.

The first feeling that the Star Picking Academy gave Zhang Hua was like this, although the reputation of the Star Picking Academy in recent years was not as good as before, but it still has its own heritage.

But now, there is no imaginary sound of middle school students reading, and there is no hurried pace of students because of the course, and there is no trace of the whole gate at all.

If it is late autumn at this moment, if there is a burst of willow leaves scattered on the ground, then this kind of scene will make people feel even more sad.

"This is the first academy in the hearts of the scholars in the city?"

Although it is said to be a college, Zhang Hua looks at the scene in front of him, and he always feels that he has come to an uninhabited building.

"Brother Xian, Mr. once said that the existence of the academy is to be learned, no matter how magnificent the appearance is, it is amazing, it is only the surface after all, and in the end it will not be able to reach the hall of elegance."

Gao Gao Ming said slowly, and after Zhang Hua heard this, his eyes were also wide open, and he was immediately stunned in place, but then he immediately sobered up, with a little teachable appearance, Zhang Hua also said sincerely

"What Brother Gao said is extremely true, I am persistent."

Glancing at the painting that saluted him, Gao Ming also pointed ahead and said

"Brother Xian, let's go in."

After entering the Star Picking Academy, the figures of the students slowly appeared, but their faces were sad, as if they had encountered some incomprehensible problem.

He kept muttering broken words, and even when he walked forward, the student didn't even raise his head.

Seeing Zhang Hua, who was in this situation, he wanted to ask a question at this time, but after seeing that Gao Gaoming, who was in the same company, did not change his face and was still strolling leisurely, Zhang Hua also couldn't help but be curious and did not ask.

However, after the continuous emergence of such a situation, and the two people not far away who saw two people of the same age arguing under the green willows, Zhang Hua finally couldn't hold back his curiosity at this time, and asked Gao Gao Ming

"Brother Gao, what happened to the academy? Why do I always feel like something big has happened? ”

"Brother Xian, it is true that as you said, a major event has happened in the academy, and this matter is also related to you and me."

As he walked forward, Gao Gao Ming said to Zhang Hua.

"Something to do with the two of us? Could it be because of the mid-month competition with the other three colleges? Zhang Hua guessed

"That's right, what the virtuous brother said is true, the reason why they are like this is indeed because of what the virtuous brother said."

Coming to an intersection, Gao Gao Ming glanced at the figure of students in the distance, and he turned around and continued to say to Zhang Hua

"Wenhai Academy only sent Shi Xuan this year, this move really didn't make people think, trying to fight the crowd with one, Wenhai Academy also has a feeling of a strong man breaking his wrist

In recent years, there has been no person similar to Shi Xuan in our academy, but fortunately, there is no shortage of talents in various competition projects.

But the four major academies once had an agreement that only a maximum of three people could be sent to each competition project, and the reason why they would argue with the foolish brother was also speculation, they were limited to the number of places. ”

"I see."

After Zhang Hua heard Gao Ming's explanation, he also understood a lot of things, but Gao Ming's next words made Zhang Hua puzzled.

"In fact, no matter how much you argue, it is useless, in the end the quota is determined by Mr. Guo, even if they argue until the sky is dark, but as long as Mr. Guo does not nod, then everything is in vain."

"Then in that case, why don't the two of them find Mr. Guo?"

"Looking for Mr. Guo? Now that Mr. Guo is afraid that he is unable to save himself, how can he have time to deal with them. ”

Gao Gao Ming threw out questions one after another, which made Zhang Hua's mind not rest for a moment, not only that, Gao Ming's narrative method of hiding half and leaving half of it was also helpless for Zhang Hua

"Mr. Guo is in the Linxi Pavilion in front, let's talk while we go."

"Okay."

Walking on the way to Linxi Pavilion, after Gao Gao Ming said a little, he also continued

"Brother Xian, do you know what we study for?"

"For what? In order to be reasonable. ”

Zhang Hua also said his answer after thinking about it, but Gao Ming smiled helplessly

"Am I not right?"

"Yes, yes, but it's not very perfect, indeed, the virtuous brother said that reading is to distinguish right from wrong, but the foolish brother believes that the essence of reading is to pass the imperial examination, so as to glorify the ancestors and enter another stage of life."

"But the imperial examination is my top priority, and the difficulty of it is even more prohibitive for countless people who claim to be talented.

Township exams, meeting exams, palace exams, step by step, not only have a variety of exam subjects, but also extremely difficult, and at the same time have to compete with readers from all over the world.

The title of the gold list is like crossing a single-plank bridge, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss. ”

"After years of hard study, I just want to be on the list, but in the end, how many people can have this achievement? How many people can pass the township test?

That feeling of being in vain gradually made many people give up participating in the imperial examination, and now after His Majesty found out about this situation, he also carried out a reform of the imperial examination, a reform that made it difficult for Mr. Guo to protect himself! ”

"Brother Gao, what exactly is this reform?" Zhang Hua said a little hurriedly.

"This reform is that the local assassin can recommend a person, and this person does not need to take the township test, and directly enters Kyoto to take the entrance examination!"

With a slight hint of ridicule, Gao Gao Ming looked at the scholar in front of Linxi Pavilion who was in a hurry and refused to be idle for a moment, and said with a slight hideousness

"In the name of winning glory for the academy, but the actual intention is to get the favor of Lord Thorn Shi in the Hundred Flowers Festival in the middle of the month, so as to further obtain the recommended quota in the hands of Lord Thorn Shi.

This is the talent in the mouth of the people in the city, this is the leader of our academy, hum! is a good reader, which really makes Gao admire! ”

"Alas, Gao Gaoming, you are obviously gifted, and you are an immortal talent in the academy, but why should you indulge yourself? Is it really as unambitious as the gentleman said? ”

At this time, a female voice sounded, which made Gao Gao Ming and Zhang Hua immediately turn around and look to the side, but Gao Gaoming, who had always been above the tongue and was not at a disadvantage, was unexpectedly silent for the woman who came this time......
