In the blink of an eye, the tense atmosphere once again hit the hearts of the students. I have been studying hard for decades, and I don't know who the show will fall to. How many students are looking forward to the career road, and the day of lifelong struggle has come again. In front of the Songjiang Mansion Yaguan's Inn, Hu Xueyan and an entourage got out of the car. In a large room, there sat a chubby guy who did not wear an official uniform or an official hat. "Report to your lord, Hu Xueyan asks to see you!" A subordinate came in to report.

"Hu Xueyan! What is he here for? The fat guy stroked his beard and rolled around his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face, and the fat guy quickly guessed the purpose of Hu Xueyan's visit. Fast! Please come in, Mr. Hu! The fat guy quickly dressed up and sat down in his chair. Through the flower feather on the hat and the pattern on the official uniform, it can be seen that this fat guy is a 4-rank civil official. "Lord Guan, grass man Hu Xueyan paid a surprise visit, please forgive me!" "It's Mr. Hu who is here, long admiration! Long admiration! "Hu Xueyan is Zuo Zongtang's celebrity right now, and the fat guy is naturally clear as the chief examiner of Songjiang Mansion.

The fat guy invited Hu Xueyan to sit down and said politely: "Mr. Hu, Lord Zuo is currently preparing to build a Mawei shipyard for the imperial court, and Mr. Hu is not waiting in front of the saddle and behind the horse, how can he have the leisure to come to me." "My lord, forgive me, my Qing Dynasty is now in ruins and thriving. The adults recruited talents for the century-old plan of the imperial court, and came to your place thousands of miles away. The adults have worked hard and made great achievements, and the grass people, as the owners of one party, should come to visit. ”

"Each other, each other! It is natural that they are all contributing to the court, not being noble or low. I heard that the Empress Dowager Xi valued Mr. Hu very much, and gave you the tax money of the three provinces, and you and I are doing our best for the imperial court. The official admires Mr. Hu's talent, and if he can use the officer's place, the official will be honored. The fat guy said politely. They all know each other, and they have to be high-sounding. "Someone!" The attendant came in and placed a small heavy wooden box on the table, then withdrew.

Hu Xueyan opened the small wooden box, and the yellow, orange and orange gold bars inside were revealed, and the house was suddenly full of light. The fat guy's eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Hu, this is ・・・・・・." "My lord, I can't hide it, the grass people have a brother who is young and talented, please take care of me!" After Hu Xueyan finished speaking, he took out the name card and put it on the table. The fat guy casually picked up the famous post and put it into his sleeve without looking at it: "At present, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and this official will be strictly controlled when he has a heavy responsibility, especially for male talents." "The naked deal was actually completed with a straight face.

Hu Xueyan secretly bribed the examiner, and it was operated without Deng Zixuan's knowledge. The foreign director of Jardine Match Factory respectfully transported the matches to the trading market, Hu Xueyan saw it with his own eyes, and through this incident, he was even more convinced of how great Deng Zixuan's energy was, whether to set up a strong competitor for himself, or to pull into his own camp, he knew better than anyone else. Before this kid's wings are full, he must be firmly tied to his chariot. Moreover, the glass factory depicted by Deng Zixuan has always made Hu Xueyan itch, and it is the huge interests that drive him to do so.

That night, Deng Zixuan received a sketch from Hu Xueyan that showed only a magpie standing on a branch and singing. The name of the painting is SAINT ANGELO, signature, brother, Hu Xueyan gift! Deng Zixuan was happy after reading it, this is another double insurance, there is no doubt that he has not yet taken the scientific examination, and he is already on the list. On the morning of the scientific expedition, Deng Zixuan went out full of ambition and spring breeze. The whole family in front of the door came out to see them off.

saw her mother's anxious look, saw Zide's nervous appearance, and saw Xiaohong's expectant gaze with a big belly. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Is it me going to catch the exam or you going to catch the test." Look how nervous you all are! "Xuan'er, Mom is worried that you will faint again." Brother! Seeing your nonchalant look, can you not worry us? Zide said worriedly. Master! You're going to have to fight! "The children of the Deng family class came out to see them off, and the scene suddenly became lively." Don't worry! Listen to my good news! Deng Zixuan jumped into the carriage and walked away.

The examination room of the Songjiang Mansion was overcrowded, and there were gray-haired old men, who may have passed the exam for N years, but they still have a thief's heart. There are middle-aged people and people who are about the same age, and it can be said that everyone's expression is uneasy. Deng Zixuan looked at the examination room curiously, it can be said that the layout of the examination room is almost the same as what he saw in the movie, a board house divided into small rooms, closed on three sides and open on one side, with a table and a chair inside. There are inkstones and brushes on the table.

"Hey! Isn't this Zixuan? "Zixuan! Zixuan! Deng Zixuan was browsing curiously, and when he heard a shout, he saw two young men in cloth appear in front of him. The person in front of him didn't know Deng Zixuan at all, and he was slightly surprised. "Zixuan, you don't know the two of us anymore, I'm Wang Jiuming!" "I'm Peng Xuan!" "Oh! It's the two of you, you're not ・・・・・・. Deng Zixuan had to pretend to be confused. Zixuan, it's a pity that you fainted in the examination room in the spring of the year before last, and the two of us are not in the upper middle. It's here again after three years of hard study! Peng Xuan smiled and said, "Anyway, we are young, we can't take the test again this time!" Wang Jiuming also smiled.

"Two brothers, in fact, I'm not interested in Xiucai, there is no way to force it at home! It doesn't matter if you can get in! "Deng Zixuan had no choice but to fight haha." No wonder you're so relaxed! The year before last, you said that if you couldn't pass the Xiucai exam, you planned to set up a college, how did the academy be completed? Wang Jiuming asked. This, to be honest, no matter whether I can be admitted this time or not, I will definitely build a academy. Deng Zixuan had an idea. That's great! Then we will go to your college to study! Peng Xuan was overjoyed.

Suddenly, the whistle sounded, and everyone stopped clamoring. An official took the trouble to announce the discipline of the examination room, and at the same time announced the time of the examination room. Then the candidates began to enter the examination room one after another・・・・・・・. The three of them glanced at each other, and it was obvious that Wang Jiuming and Peng Xuan were starting to be nervous, looking at the two of them with somewhat apprehensive expressions, Deng Zixuan secretly thought: Maybe there is no problem with the exam, but the power of life and death is in the hands of the examiner, Deng Zixuan can't help but applaud Hu Xueyan's old way, it seems that he is definitely a short practice.

For Baguwen, Deng Zixuan's head was big when he saw it, and he had no emotions at all. But when it comes to exams, it should be said that I am familiar with the road, and after carefully reviewing the questions for a while, my brain has read the books I have read in the past two years. Then the ink was spent. After a while, a sprinkling article was swept away. Deng Zixuan looked at it again and felt that there was no problem, and then signed his name. The exam was going to take place in the morning, and Deng Zixuan came out and found that he was the first to hand in the paper, which took less than an hour.

The candidates in the compartment of the board room were clear at a glance, and seeing their various scratching their ears and cheeks, Deng Zixuan felt funny. When the invigilator saw him looking around, he motioned for him to leave the examination room. Deng Zixuan was not in a hurry to go home, but went to visit Hu Xueyan to express his gratitude in person. However, the housekeeper of Hu Mansion informed him that Hu Xueyan was not at home and had gone to Fuzhou on business. Presumably, the Mawei shipyard is being intensively prepared, and Deng Zixuan is thoughtful.

When he returned home, the family saw that he came back safe and sound. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, nothing happened to Deng Zixuan, and he walked out of the examination room smoothly. Deng Zixuan bragged in front of the family, and his splendid article was definitely on the list, and everyone believed it.

It is impossible to beat gongs and drums to send the good news to the family, and only high school lifters have this honor. The results of the exam will not be released until three days later, so Deng Zixuan should do whatever he wants, as if nothing happened. That Wang Jiuming mentioned the matter of the academy, which attracted Deng Zixuan's attention. The college can recruit a large number of students, and these students can ・・・・・ in the future.

It is too early to plan what the students will do in the future for the students to gather at the academy, and it depends on the situation. Having made up his mind, Deng Zixuan couldn't help but be proud of his clever move. It just so happened that these two days were free, and I took the opportunity to get the things done in the academy. The next day, Deng Zixuan personally went out and quickly bought a house with a garden in Shanghai, and then ordered a plaque and named it Tongren Academy.

The next day, the sun was high, and Deng Zixuan rushed to Songjiang Mansion. Seeing that a large number of students had gathered outside the mansion, some were crying, some were sighing, and some were smug, obviously the list was released. "Zixuan! Zixuan! How did you come. Congratulations on your high school years! "Zixuan! You are number three! Wang Jiuming and Peng Xuan ran over to report the good news when they saw him from afar. How are you two? "Don't mention it, we're off the list again!" "Hey! I had to endure for another three years! There were depressed expressions on their faces. All right! Two brothers, let's eat wine and surprise the two! After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, he dragged the two of them away. You don't look at the list! "What else do you look at when you already know the results?" What had been expected for a long time, Deng Zixuan did not look particularly happy, and the two were stunned.

"Come, come, come! Don't be depressed. As the saying goes, good luck comes every year, and when we come to my house next year, we will have a drink, which can be regarded as a celebration for me! Deng Zixuan shouted loudly. After a while, everyone was covered in clouds. Seeing that the two of them were still depressed, Deng Zixuan said: "Two brothers, I promised you to open a academy, and it has been completed!" Their eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing is believing and hearing is false, and I will take you to see it after eating. Deng Zixuan said secretly. After eating, the figures of the three appeared in an elegant small courtyard.

"How about the two brothers, how is this courtyard?" Deng Zixuan led the brothers to visit and said proudly. "Zixuan, I really believe in my word, I will take root in the academy in the future!" Wang Jiuming said overjoyed. "Great, we can learn from each other together in the future without being lonely, is the name of the academy ready?" Peng Xuan was also excited. "How about calling it Tongren Academy?" "Like-minded, one-minded! Good name! "Colleagues, it shows the voice of the students, I agree!" The two of them were overjoyed.

"Two brothers, you are the first batch of scholars of Tongren Academy, I think you should move from the inn to live! The other two broadcast the news, welcome like-minded book friends to come here to encourage each other, I provide free room and board here! And I'll pay for the two of you to buy books. Since it is a academy and has no collection of books, isn't it in vain? Three days later, Tongren Academy officially opened, and on the opening day, there were already 8 poor students gathered in the college, plus Wang and Peng, the first batch of book friends was exactly 10 people.

Deng Zixuan didn't expect that the Doujin Academy would play a big role in the future. Under Deng Zixuan's planning, Tongren Academy has walked out of many low-level officials, of course, these Qing Dynasty officials are completely recommended by Deng Zixuan, it can be said that Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang are "heroes", Deng Zixuan borrowed their hands to arrange the students of Tongren Academy to the position that Deng Zixuan needed, and played a huge role.
