A passer-by sighed beside him: "Alas, why are you so stubborn this girl? In my opinion, the reason why the dean doesn't accept you is because you really don't look like you're here to study, but like you're here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. You might as well go back, wait a few days, see that the dean's anger has subsided, change into coarse cloth clothes, take off the sword, come over and make a sincere gesture, and see if the dean will let go. If that doesn't work, the girl should go home. ”

Zhou Xia turned his head and said to the passer-by, "Thank you, uncle, but you don't have to persuade me." I'm such a person, I like to wear nice clothes, and I also like to practice swords, besides, before I came, I had a thorough understanding of the affairs of the Taoist Academy, and there are no rules in the Taoist Academy that stipulate that disciples must wear plain clothes, or are not allowed to carry weapons. In that case, I am qualified to enter the Dojo Temple. Dean Wen Ling once said that the Tao is natural. Since the Taoist Academy advocates nature, why can't I enter the hospital as I am natural? ”

Passers-by were speechless by her for a while, and could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. This girl is indeed very smart, but she does not know how to be flexible and will not compromise.

I can only say that this child is still too young, and in a few years, he will sharpen his edges and corners to get better, and he knows how to be sleek and flexible, and follow the wishes of others.

After a while, Zhou Xia's old mother found her a mat made of cloth and asked her to kneel on it, but Zhou Xia took it without hesitation and put it on.

Then some people around ridiculed: "Look, you are worthy of a noble lady, even if you pretend to kneel here, you can't kneel uncomfortably, you have to find a cushion and kneel comfortably." ”

Zhou Xia looked straight inside the courtyard, unmoved by the discussion next to him.

She has her flexible way and does not deliberately treat herself badly, but she also has her own principles and persistence.

In this way, she knelt for several hours not far from the gate of the Taoist Academy, until it was dark and the onlookers gradually dispersed, and Zhou Xia got up dejectedly and left in the company of the old mother and the guards.

The people in the Taoist courtyard thought that she had finally given up, but unexpectedly, the next day, Zhou Xia came again.

She directly brought a thick mat, walked to the door of the courtyard, spread the mat, and knelt down in a daze.

"In the summer of next week, I will ask Dean Wen Ling to give me a chance! If I can't get through, I won't dwell on it again! ”

No one in the Taoist courtyard responded to her, Zhou Xia looked at the Taoist courtyard, and from time to time there were people coming in and out of the house, and occasionally people would look at her, but no one paid attention to her.

Everyone knew that Wen Ling didn't want to accept her, so no one dared to speak.

Zhou Xia hung his head and continued to kneel on the mat.

She kept kneeling, drinking water when she was thirsty, leaving once in a while, and then coming back to kneel again. So she knelt until noon, and the old mother brought her food, and she ate it silently.

When the sun was big, Zhou Xia moved to the shade of the trees, and when it rained, she asked her mother to give her an umbrella. Zhou Xia felt that she was here to study, not to sell miserably, and she should let Wen Ling see her sincerity, instead of deliberately making herself miserable to seek sympathy.

In this way, Zhou Xia knelt until the third day.

There were always people around who were talking coldly, and some people tried to tease her verbally, but she just let the guards surround her to protect her, but she didn't say a word.

In the end, even the guards of the Taoist Academy were a little surprised, whether this little girl came to the Taoist Academy with impure motives or not, after all, the perseverance of the people is very remarkable.

What's more, from the conversation between Zhou Xia and the people around him, he vaguely felt that this girl didn't seem to be like what some people said at the beginning, on the contrary, she should have learned a lot about the Taoist Academy, and even learned some relevant knowledge through other ways before coming to study.

Looking at Zhou Xia's unyielding figure, he even gradually began to look forward to Wen Ling letting this little girl enroll.

However, Lu Lun himself finally arrived in Jingguo.

The reason why his subordinates came so quickly was that they rushed over without sleep, and he himself naturally wouldn't be so hard, and Jing Guo came in a carriage. He was full of calculations, and Zhou Xia had already touched a bag, and he was about to go home, and he happened to greet him by the way and comfort him.

When he arrived in Jing Kingdom, he found that things were not as easy as he thought.

This Zhou Xia, even if he was slandered so much, received cold reception and misunderstanding by everyone, and was even unceremoniously rejected by Wen Ling himself, he didn't give up at all. Even, she almost planned to stay at the gate of this courtyard, eating, drinking, and mats, except for kneeling for a long time, she didn't seem to see anything unusual.

Tao Cui was also looking at Zhou Xia who was kneeling at the door of the Taoist Academy from a distance, these days, she has been carefully currying favor with Lu Lun, but unfortunately it has no effect, Lu Lun still pursues Zhou Xia in her heart. But she is not in a hurry, as long as Lu Lun gets Zhou Xia in her hands, she has made a great contribution, and it can be regarded as a line for Lu Lun, and there will be benefits at that time.

After watching for a while, Lu Lun's subordinates came over to salute him, and then reported what had happened in the past three days.

After listening to everyone's reports, Lu Lun threw the question to Tao Cui: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

In fact, Tao Cui had been pondering these all the way, and now that he thought about it, he had an idea: "Young Master Lu, it seems that Zhou Xia will not stop until he is completely driven out of the Taoist Academy." ”

Lu Lun looked impatient, and snorted coldly: "What do you have in mind, tell me quickly!" ”

Tao Cui's thoughts turned and turned in her heart, revealing a cruel smile: "I have a plan here, which can make her reputation ruined, and she will no longer have any possibility of studying, so she can only be driven away directly by Wen Ling, if Lu Gongzi wants to hear it......"

Lu Lun roared: "If you tell you to speak, you can speak quickly!" Don't grind! I don't care what reputation Zhou Xia has, I just need to get her! ”

……

In the courtyard, in the study.

"Alas......"

Huang Si sat in Wen Ling's Taishi chair, his feet resting directly on the desk, sighing while reading.

Wen Ling's place was occupied, but there were other chairs in the study, and he didn't sit on it, just flipped through the mathematical materials that Huang Si piled on the table, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand it at all. Now hearing Huang Si's sigh, Wen Ling asked curiously:

"Is the god worried about something?"

"Well, the problem of P and NP, as a kind of computational theory, is really a basis for computers. There are a lot of problems around this issue......" Huang Sigang was halfway to talking to himself, suddenly paused, and then said to Wen Ling: "It seems that someone is going to make trouble outside, you go and deal with it." ”

Wen Ling didn't know why Huang Si suddenly mentioned the outside matter, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out and have a look." ”

He walked out of the study and walked towards the door of the Taoist courtyard, and from a distance, he didn't see anyone making trouble, but he saw Zhou Xia still kneeling at the door.

In the past three days, he didn't care about Zhou Xia's affairs at all, but asked someone to inquire about Zhou Xia's situation.

It is said that Zhou Xia was born rich and noble in Zhuangguo, and she was extremely smart since she was a child, and she was extremely proud of learning everything and often said that no one could teach her.
