Outside Dengzhou City, Tongze Academy.

The first day of April is the day of enrollment of Tongze Academy.

Although Tongze Academy is a folk academy, but it enjoys a good reputation, the head of the academy, Zheng Heze, is a contemporary Confucian, with a lofty status in the literary world, and the peach and plum are all over the world, even if it is the children of the official family, Tongze Academy is also eager to sign up, early in the morning, there are many students who come to sign up outside the academy.

Far away from the academy, the Li family's carriage stopped.

The curtain of the car was lifted, Li Guanzhong poked his head out, and said unhappily: "What's the matter?" It's not that you haven't arrived at the academy yet, why do you park now? ”

The coachman hurriedly smiled and said, "Second master, the car in front is blocked, and I can't get in, I'm afraid I'm going to bother the second master and the two little masters to get out of the car." ”

Li Guanzhong frowned, muttered a few words unhappily, and looked reluctant, Li Guanzhong is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, dressed in green clothes, although his appearance is delicate and elegant, but his eyes are a little shrewd and calculating, which destroys the bookish spirit on his body.

The road was blocked, Li Guanzhong got out of the car first, and then reached out to hug the boy in the car.

This time, I brought two children from my family to Tongze Academy to apply for a job, one is Li Guanzhong's son Li Minyu, who is 14 years old this year, and the other is his nephew Li Lingyu, who is 12 years old this year.

Before Li Lingyu was born, Li Minyu was the only male in the family's grandchildren, and he was favored since he was a child, and he developed a somewhat delicate temperament.

Li Lingyu looked cute at a young age, with a handsome little face and a pair of smart eyes, which was pleasing when she looked at it.

Li Minyu has never had a good impression of his beloved cousin, pestering Li Guanzhong to prevent him from hugging Li Lingyu, Li Lingyu didn't care, he carefully climbed down from the carriage, stepped on the air when he landed, and almost fell to the ground.

Li Minyu saw Li Lingyu's embarrassed appearance, a flash of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes, since Li Lingyu was born, he was not as favored at home as before, and now he still wants to come with him to grab the seat of the academy! Thinking of this, the corners of Li Minyu's mouth hooked up with a malicious smile.

Seeing this, Li Guanzhong couldn't help frowning and said, "I told my eldest brother a long time ago, Lingyu is so young, why did she come to the academy to suffer this hardship, isn't it the same at home to be taught by a gentleman?" Why don't you let him be older and come to the college to sign up again? Do you have to join in the fun with Minyu? Minyu is different, Minyu has been smart since she was a child, and her father personally enlightened her, and the eldest brother is really, he doesn't know that he feels sorry for the child at all! ”

Li Lingyu stood aside obediently, and when she heard this, she raised her head and said seriously: "Second uncle, my father also loves me." ”

Li Guanzhong didn't expect Li Lingyu to dare to refute him, so he couldn't help frowning in disgust, and only took Li Minyu's hand and walked forward, ignoring Li Lingyu.

Seeing this, the coachman couldn't help but shake his head, the second master was worried that the little master would steal the limelight from the eldest young master, although Li Lingyu was young, he was smart and sensible since he was a child, and he could draw inferences from the homework he learned, otherwise the old lady would not let Li Lingyu come with him this time.

Old man Li Zhaoguang has two sons, the eldest master Li Geng's reading personality is wooden, not as good as the second master will be ingenious, and the reading is also average, not the old lady's favor, and later the eldest lady gave birth to three daughters in a row, so that the status of the big house in the Li family has been inferior to the second room, or after Li Lingyu was born, the smart and sensible Li Lingyu won the love of the old lady, and the status of the big house was slightly improved.

But in this way, Li Guanzhong is dissatisfied with the big house, and Li Guanzhong is sneering when he sees the eldest man on weekdays, but he didn't expect that even the children will be spared now.

Thinking in his heart, the coachman hurriedly protected Li Lingyu's side, worried that there would be too many people and the child would be lost.

Although Li Lingyu was young, she felt the coachman's maintenance of her, and couldn't help but smile at the coachman.

The coachman's heart moved, and he looked at the sensible and polite young master, and couldn't help sighing, what a good child, I hope this registration can be smooth.

Li Minyu saw the interaction between Li Lingyu and the coachman, and her heart was itching with hatred, hum! Guys who will pretend! He wanted to tell everyone loudly, no, Li Lingyu is not like this!

Li Lingyu seemed to notice his eyes, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, Li Minyu met his eyes, couldn't help but shrink a little, and hid in his father's arms.

Li Lingyu's eyes flashed, and he followed with a calm face.

The group arrived at the place where they registered, fortunately, Li Guanzhong still knew the proportions, and when he went to sign up, he was humble and polite, but he didn't make any mistakes, and registered for both children, although Li Guanzhong only wanted to sign up for his son, but when he thought that it was not easy to explain to the old man when he went back, he still added Li Lingyu's name.

Anyway, even if he signs up, Li Lingyu may not be able to pass the exam, so thinking about it, Li Guanzhong put his mind at ease.

After registering, the child has to go to the queue and pass the examination of the college before he can be eligible for admission.

When queuing, Li Guanzhong saw an old man in front of him, leading a teenager in his teens, the old man looked solemn and majestic, and the boy was also handsome.

Li Lingyu knew this old man, the old man's name was Qi Yuanshan, who used to be an official in the same dynasty as her grandfather Li Zhaoguang, and the relationship between the two families was once very close, and later after the accident, the two were sent to Dengzhou by the emperor together.

And beside him is Qi Yuanshan's most important grandson Qi Xiao, Qi Xiao is thirteen years old this year, smart and clever since he was a child, Qi Yuanshan attaches great importance to his future, and this time he also personally brought him to sign up.

"Uncle Qi, you also brought Xiao'er to sign up?" Li Guanzhong greeted with a smile.

Compared with Li Guanzhong's enthusiasm, Qi Yuanshan's reaction was much colder, he bowed his head slightly at Li Guanzhong, and told Qi Xiao: "Don't be stage frightened when you go to the exam later, just play your usual level." ”

Qi Xiao nodded and said solemnly, "Grandson knows." ”

The grandfather and grandson were talking, but they actually put Li Guanzhong aside, Li Guanzhong's eyes flashed a touch of anger, he was no longer bored with himself, turned to his son and said: "Minyu, you will take the test well in a while, and you must not let that kid from Qi Xiao compare you to you!" ”

Li Minyu secretly said in his heart, when I was at home, you said that you couldn't let Lingyu compare me, and now you said that you can't let Qi Xiao compare me, how many people do I have to compare with? It's too hard to get into school!

Li Minyu wilted, he had already prepared for Li Lingyu, but Qi Xiao, he was really not sure!

As he spoke, there were already three people in line.

Li Guanzhong watched the two children walk into the classroom, but he was not at ease and to no avail.

The first exam of Tongze Academy is to copy books, before coming to register, it has been informed in advance, so that all the candidates who come to take the exam are required to bring a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", at the beginning of the candidates who received the news are very puzzled, this "Diamond Sutra" is a Buddhist scripture, why does the academy ask them to bring this book?

Now they finally understood, because the content of the exam was to copy the Diamond Sutra in the time of a stick of incense.

Hearing this request, the candidates' expressions were a little surprised, none of them expected that the examination of Tongze Academy would be so simple, it was actually copying, not dictation.

Li Minyu was also slightly surprised, he glanced at Li Lingyu beside him, but saw that his expression was indifferent, it seemed to be the expression he had expected, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.

This is why he hates Li Lingyu, he is not very old next year, but he always looks old, so that adults praise him for being sensible and intelligent, pretending to be, and he hates it to death!

Let's see if you can laugh for a while!

Li Lingyu didn't think there was anything surprising, Tongze Academy was reading words, in a short period of time, especially on such an occasion, copying an unfamiliar book, "Diamond Sutra" is not a must-read book for enlightenment, and the pressure on candidates is very great.

What examines Tongze Academy is the candidates' ability to resist pressure, after all, they will all have to participate in the scientific examination in the future.

The exam started immediately, and Li Lingyu took out his "Diamond Sutra".

This time, because of Tongze Academy, the "Diamond Sutra" in the bookstore is in short supply.

Li Lingyu was a little dumbfounded when she opened the "Diamond Sutra", because many pages on the book had been blackened with ink, she frowned, she had checked it yesterday, the book was fine, but today there was a problem, she couldn't help but turn her head and look at Li Minyu.

Li Minyu noticed her eyes and couldn't help but show her a malicious smile.

Li Lingyu retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and wrote word by word, Li Minyu couldn't help but show surprise, Li Lingyu didn't have a book, but he could still write silently? !

"Ahem." The invigilator walked up to Li Minyu, coughed lightly, and gave him a warning look.

Li Minyu retracted her gaze at this time, lowered her head and continued to write.

Most of the time for a stick of incense passed, and the invigilator walked in front of Li Lingyu, but saw that she was writing silently, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't interrupt Li Lingyu silently, but just picked up the "Diamond Sutra" in front of Li Lingyu.

When he opened it, the invigilator couldn't help but be furious: "Insulting Sven, insulting Sven!" You don't have to take the test, you let me out! ”

Li Minyu was overjoyed, and couldn't help but glance at Li Lingyu gloatingly.
