Chapter 118: A Woman Disguises Herself as a Man and Enters the Hall
The gangsters were found in a mountain stream, a total of three people, who fell to the ground without knowing who was there, and there were no external injuries.
After Ada's men dragged the people back, they couldn't wake up even when they poured cold water. In the end, it was Dr. Wei who saw it and found that he had been stabbed with a silver needle.
"This person is a master, and I don't know if it's evil, as far as this technique is concerned, he must be good at medicine."
The old doctor wiped his hands: "Let them lie here, tie them up first, and they will wake up in about an hour or two." ”
Ah Da directly asked people to get a big wooden cage, tied these people hand and foot and locked them in, and put them in the patio, and four people guarded them.
The rest of his men continued to search in the mountains, especially in the area of the ravine, and all the grass had to be removed to see, and one place could not be spared.
Not to mention, they really found some clues, and that clue pointed directly to the academy on the opposite hill.
"Who are the people on the academy?"
"It's not clear. The academy is the largest in the local area, and there are a lot of students who come and go, as well as those who come from other places to study, and those who follow the teacher to visit and study, if you want to check them one by one, I don't think I can do it. ”
Young Master He knew more about this academy, and he knew that many students in the academy were hostile to each other, so if he really wanted to go over to find someone with great fanfare, he was afraid that everything would become something if it was nothing.
"It's definitely not okay to know the past, so can you quietly send someone in to investigate?"
Young Master He frowned, thought for a while, and said, "In this case, it's better to let Ah Zan go." He took a few students with him, and then said that he would communicate, and privately arranged for someone to find out. ”
"No." Wei Jin vetoed, "If those people knew the identities of Sihua and Third Miss, Brother Azan would be shocked when he went." ”
"What then? We can't use our identities to go, and we can't leave this to anyone else. If Ah Chan is not allowed to come forward, who else can find an excuse to enter the academy? ”
Wei Jin hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I'll go." ”
"You?" Young Master He was dumbfounded, "Don't be kidding, the academy is not an ordinary place, and idlers will show their stuffing when they go." ”
Wei Jinbai glanced at him: "Don't worry, in terms of learning, I can't compare to Brother Azan, and I'm still a little better than you." ”
was stabbed by her, and Young Master He was suddenly unhappy and stretched his face.
"Don't really say it, if Ah Jin is a man, his knowledge will not be worse than mine. Because she is a daughter, she learns all the things she likes, and she knows a little about the Four Books and the Five Classics, but she knows more about the workers and peasants than I do. ”
Wei Zan on the side thought this idea was good. Wei Jin's skills in pretending to be a man are also quite strong, at least she doesn't get close, she doesn't share a bed with her, and she basically can't tell the difference.
The men of this dynasty are similar to the previous dynasty, and there are many men who like to dress themselves, some men look a little more delicate than Wei Jin, but she does not have the slightest sense of disobedience when she wears men's clothes.
In order to reassure Young Master He, Wei Jin also deliberately went to change his clothes, and when he appeared again, Young Master He shut up.
In terms of learning, although it is not enough to say that the Four Books and Five Classics are memorized backwards, but when she was guarding the Dabao exam, she was also bored to read the books. There was nothing else to distract herself, and she found that her memory was good, and if she didn't ask for a solution, she had no obstacle in filling in the blanks.
After drawing a few questions in a row, Wei Jin's answers were fluent, and Young Master He didn't say a word, and directly surrendered defeat.
It just so happened that some time ago, another group of people came to the Wei family, and Wei Jin pretended to be one of them, carrying a bookbag and a small servant and rushed to the academy.
"People from the Wei clan, why did you come to my school?" Speaking Lang glanced at Wei Jin and frowned.
"The ancients said, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and the saints are also clouds, and there must be my teacher for threesomes. The boy thinks that he is also studying hard day and night at home, but his knowledge has never grown. The father asked the boy to go out for a walk, go to the famous mountains and rivers to see it, and also go to various schools to learn from the strengths of others. A few days ago, I met a clansman and said that he was going to come to Zhangzhou to do business, and the boy came with them. After inquiring in the past few days, they all said that Songfeng Academy was the first academy in Zhangzhou, so the kid took the liberty to come, hoping to study in the academy for a while. ”
The speaker looked at him for a while, nodded, and drew him some more questions.
"Well, it's a reading child, it's just too rigid, it seems that your father is right, you need to understand it." Speaking Lang's attitude towards young people who like to read is much more gentle, "A student like you is not a student of our academy, so you can only live in Nanyuan temporarily." You can go to the class or ask the teacher, but please note that your fee is higher than that of our students, and you will have to pay the fee before you can arrange accommodation and a place to take classes. ”
I understand, they are school choice students, raising funds to build a school, it is the same in ancient and modern times.
Wei Jin accepted it quickly, and simply asked the servant to pay the fee for three months.
"We can't say that we will leave after two or three days. And this money is not a loss when it is handed over to the academy, it is used horizontally and vertically on the academy and is regarded as charity. ”
The servant, who was still a little slanderous, suddenly stopped talking, and followed the servant in the academy to arrange all the affairs properly, and then carried a large bag of things into the eighteenth house of Nanyuan.
When he entered, Wei Jin had already started chatting with two students in the same courtyard. One is a native of Zhangzhou, a rich second generation, who is a bit difficult to learn, and was stuffed with money by his family to feel the cultural atmosphere. The other is a native of Xiangzhou, who also traveled to study here, and plans to calm down and study hard for a year before returning to Xiangzhou to participate in the scientific expedition.
The two chose the eighteen-house east cross courtyard, and after Wei Jin came, he chose the room on the edge of the west cross courtyard, which happened to be a corner, with the window facing outward, and even directly through the window, without going to the courtyard door to enter and exit.
The little servant put the things away with his hands and feet, and went to the study to get Wei Jin's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
"Yanwen, you go to the city and book a banquet and let them bring the food. Take the back door to send, don't be too public. ”
Wei Jin said that he wanted to have a treat, and he also humbled himself to his low knowledge, and he would have to rely on the two seniors in the future.
Although the rich second generation has a very clear understanding of his own strength, he also knows that people are saying kind words. However, he had always received sarcastic and sneering glances from others, and this time Wei Jin knew that his grades were not good and he was very modest, which made him extremely useful.
"Brother Wei, you are my guest when you arrive in Zhangzhou City, most of the restaurants in Zhangzhou City are opened by my family, and they can send them whatever you want to eat, so you don't have to spend money."
"That's not right." Wei Jin said, "Even if it is the property in my brother's family, the income and expenditure have to be posted, so it is not good to disturb my uncle and aunt for such a trivial matter." Besides, I still need my brother to pay for my treat, and if this gets out, it will be a joke. ”
She didn't say what a joke it was, but when she thought about it, it was nothing more than four words: people are stupid, and there is a lot of money!
Wei Jin's honesty deepened the two people's affection for her a little, so that when they drank a little later, without waiting for Wei Jin's persuasion, the two of them themselves got themselves drunk, which was very sincere.
Yanwen and other servants all live in the back side room, and they only enter and exit in the children's study and bedroom on weekdays, and they can't enter the school. It was also clearly stipulated that no servants should be brought with them, and that they had to do everything by themselves, including picking up food at noon.
Wei Zan and the others were worried at first that this matter would expose Wei Jin's disguise, after all, the weight of the food box is not light, and ordinary girls can't lift it.
Fortunately, Wei Jin did a lot of work at home in the first two years, and her arm strength was still a little bit, so it might be difficult for her to carry a bucket, and it was still not too difficult to carry a food box.
Taking advantage of Wei Jin's class in the school to attract everyone's attention, Yanwen could just find an opportunity to investigate the situation.
In the past, in Wei Jin's heart, the academy was estimated to be roughly divided into several stages, such as the examination of Xiucai, the examination of people, etc., and the other one was a study tour. But after coming in, I realized that the division of student grades in the academy was very detailed and strict. Not according to age, but according to the level of learning.
If you don't pass the college assessment at the end of the year, you have to continue to study in this class, and if you don't get promoted for five consecutive years, you can only drop out.
Basically, those who have been dropped out of Songfeng Academy will not be accepted by other academies, so if you want to continue your studies, you must either go to academies in other cities, or you can only study hard by yourself.
The students who travel to study enter the Ding Academy. Ding Yuan does not participate in the academy ranking, but there are also internal classes. There are five classes in total, the first two are famous, and the last three are white.
Wei Jin's Ding third class is the one with good knowledge in the white body.
Once inside, she found a place to sit down.
There were only eleven or twelve people in the big classroom, and there were at least five or six empty seats.
The Guo student in Xiangzhou is also studying in this class. And the local rich second generation is in the fifth class of Ding.
"Talking about Lang will talk about the articles in the four books today, you can take a look first, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the speed of Speaking Lang." Senior Guo kindly pointed at her, and a few people next to her looked at her either curiously or indifferently.
Before coming, Wei Jin inquired that they had focused on the chapters of the Four Books in the recent past, because the new students preferred articles in this area, and seeing that the next exam was approaching, the so-called "Doing what they liked" meant that the academy also had to conform to this trend.
After listening to a class, Wei Jin also had to admit that this lecturer was a person of true learning. She has a good memory, she has previewed in advance, memorized the articles and paraphrases, and Wei Zan also opened a small stove for her at home. Even so, there were some things she didn't understand. After today's lecture, I feel that many vague places are transparent.
Wei Jin took out the magic weapon of that year's exam and took class notes!
A small handwriting is smooth, like regular script is not regular script, like a book but not a book, like a book and not a book, there is a rather special feeling. Of course, anyone who understands computers and has used a font knows that this is the line of the bad street, but it's a pity that people in this era don't know, and they were suddenly shocked.
Especially her speed, she wrote down all the key points that Lang said, and then compared the article to read the explanation, and she understood it clearly at once.
"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, my grandfather taught me like this, so I got used to it, when I listened to the teacher's class, I was afraid that my memory was not good and I would forget the content, so I simply wrote it down, and I could understand what the teacher said when I looked back a few times."
She smiled shyly on her face, kept writing down her experience and what she didn't understand on another piece of paper, and took the paper to block the talker and ask him to explain his doubts.
Senior Guo approached the water, borrowed her notes directly, recalled what he remembered, and after comparing the two, he picked up the pen and began to copy the notes without saying a word.
In just three days, Wei Jin made a big splash in Ding Yuan, and even the students in Jia Yuan heard about her.
Of course, the students in the first place do not need to take notes, and even they have very little time in class, most of them are studying on their own, and then if they have any questions, they can go directly to the teacher. To Wei Jin, the students of Academy A are the kind of students who are studying for graduate school and are mainly self-taught.
The college is closed on the ninth day, so that students can go home to change their clothes, and also let go of the wind by the way.
Wei Jin: They found something on the seventh day, and all the evidence pointed to someone in the first courtyard.
"This student surnamed Gan was not originally from Zhangzhou, and when he arrived in Zhangzhou seven years ago, he said that he was seeking refuge with relatives and friends, but after arriving here, he learned that his relatives had disappeared. At that time, he had not yet gained fame, and fainted next to the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, and it was the Taoist who saved him. After that, he lived next to the Taoist temple, writing letters for the pilgrims of the Taoist temple or doing trivial things in exchange for money. ”
The student surnamed Gan was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and he was led here with his hometown, and then he went directly to Zhangzhou City. In the second year after coming here, he took the imperial examination and won the talent in one fell swoop, and he was still the head of the case that year.
The government's reward, as well as the sponsorship of the pilgrims, and the annual county school after being admitted, made him have no worries and began to study hard, and at the end of the same year, he won the promotion again.
After he was lifted, everyone thought that he would take the exam again, but he stayed in the academy, and it has been six years now, and I haven't seen him have any intention of referring to it. I heard from the master that he felt that his accumulation was not enough, and he wanted to pass in one fell swoop, so he refused to try it until he was sure. ”
Senior Guo is also very yearning for the students of the First Academy, plus there are few people in the First Academy, there are only about a dozen people in total, and the student surnamed Gan is a long-term resident, and every new person who enters the Academy will be curious about him.
Others didn't think his actions were strange, but Wei Jin didn't. She had a feeling that this person's refusal to attend the exam was definitely not as simple as he said, and there must be a reason in it.
The students of the first courtyard live closer to the inside of the academy, and they are one person in one courtyard, and the maximum number of people serving is two, and they are also in the side room behind the small courtyard, which is close to the cliff, and few people go to the backyard of others to hang out, if it is used to hide people, it is better.
But there is still a question, if he hides Sihuaer and He San, how to solve the problem of eating and drinking? There are no clubs in the academy, and you can let the restaurants in the city deliver food, but you can't deliver them every day, right?
Yanwen tried to poke inside, but he said that the security inside was so deep that he was almost caught. I was also surprised to realize that this academy is not simple.
The two had no choice but to take advantage of the opportunity to take the first break and go back to brainstorm.
"Why don't we go straight to the man?"
"No, it's one thing, and on the other hand, if that person insists that he hasn't seen it, can you still break in and search the house?"
He San hasn't been found back for so many days, and Young Master He is about to lose his temper.
At this moment, someone said that the porter had received a secret letter, and I don't know who sent it, so he turned his head and put the letter on the table. The porter's servant could still recognize a few words, and when he saw that it was written "Wei Zan Gongzi personally opened", he hurriedly sent it over.
