Chapter 176: Night Fragrance Champion
Zhongli arranged for Zhao Zijian to rest at home for a night, and the next day he took Zhao Zijian to the academy with Zhao Yiyan.
The border city is now very prosperous because of an academy, especially at this time, there are students all the way from the town to the academy.
It's just that unlike the students studying in the capital, some of them even wear patched clothes and carry thin luggage.
When Zhao Zijian saw this scene, he couldn't help but nod his head loudly.
"The Border City Academy really lives up to its name."
Neither Zhao Yiyan nor Zhongli answered, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but his eyes fell on Zhongli.
"Zhong Gongzi is also very powerful, although on the surface it is the money taken out by the government, but the Ming people don't say secret words, who doesn't know that this money was obtained by Zhong Gongzi? It's just that it's not easy to maintain such a huge academy! ”
Zhongli hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, but instead of nodding, he shook his head.
After all, this kind of thing, although it seems to be a compliment, if it is known, it is simply to put people on the fire rack to roast.
"Hehe, the fourth prince is wrong, but this matter is not my credit, but the credit of many wealthy businessmen nearby, coupled with the emperor's grace, the emperor's attention to this matter is also the main reason for this academy."
Seeing that Zhong Li pushed all his exploits out, Zhao Zijian was a little helpless.
If Zhongli was still awe-inspiring and arrogant at the beginning, she is like a smooth and round stone, making people unable to find the slightest edge and corner.
And back then, it could be said that the edges and corners of that body cut people, but now, it is difficult to find a mistake.
Looking at Zhongli like this, Zhao Zijian himself didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
Still, he followed Zhongli's words.
After all, although the entire Border City Academy has only been three years old, the number of people is already close to a thousand, and just the daily food and clothing can already be huge, and it is still very difficult to maintain the operation of such a huge institution.
But looking at Zhongli's relaxed appearance, and thinking about what he said just now, Zhao Zijian nodded.
"Really? It's just that Mingcheng can you explain how exactly it was done? In my opinion, this is simply something that cannot be done. ”
Zhongli felt that there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, but it was just a change from ordinary consumption to work-study.
And for these students, they do far less than they can do at home. What's more, many readers used to have everything good in the past, just holding books and shaking their heads, but what she wanted was not this kind of academic talent.
Only those who can work and study will have a deeper understanding of the world and this society, and when they embark on the road of promotion to the court, they will not be so easy to break away from the masses.
"It's easy! Everyone has the most basic meal ticket for eating and doing things, cloth tickets for clothes, and water tickets for drinking tea. Then, whether you are doing well or not depends on how well you adapt in the academy! ”
What the? Can it still be like this?
Zhao Zijian was interested, and when he thought of what Zhongli had just said, his eyes lit up.
"Really? Then, according to what you say, you can't spend any money in the academy? So what kind of adaptation method are you talking about? ”
Zhongli couldn't help but raise his chin to the front, pointing at the person who was walking far away in front of him and pointing at Zhao Zijian with a smile.
"Well, it's like the front."
Zhao Zijian couldn't help but squint his eyes at the person over there, and couldn't help but stared at him directly.
"This ...... This ......"
It's insulting!
He wanted to speak, but he looked at Zhao Yiyan next to him, and saw Huo Yiyan looking over there with a cold face, with a calm face.
How can this be?
Is this kind of thing a scholar can do?
Not only Zhao Zijian, but even the people next to him stretched out their fingers and pointed at the person who came from afar, covering their noses in disgust one by one, grinning, for fear that the things pushed by the other party would splash on their bodies.
They're here to take the exam, so what if they get stinky?
That's right, the man was pushing a three-wheeled cart with the night incense from the academy on it, all the way over.
Zhao Zijian's face changed again and again, and when the other party got closer and closer, he couldn't help but hold his breath and stopped talking.
And Zhongli didn't think there was anything, those people who sold their fame and reputation, all of them looked like people, and they were extremely disgusted with these, but who of them dared to stand up and say that they didn't eat and drink Lazar?
The student was dressed in a strange attire, but it seemed to be quite easy to work, and he walked towards them with a smile, and he didn't complain or complain, and when he saw Zhongli and them again, he stopped to greet them.
"King Qingyang, Zhong Gongzi, long time no see. The two of you are going up the mountain today! ”
Zhongli and Zhao Yiyan had often gone up the mountain before, so many people had seen them and were not strangers.
Zhongli smiled and nodded at the other party, looking at the car he was pushing.
"You've been pushing for so many years, you should give people a chance, right?"
The man smiled and puffed out his chest proudly towards Zhongli.
"There's no way, they can't do me when they compose poems, and they can't beat me when they fight, so they can only obediently let me do it. It's just that I'm going to go home from the academy next, and I'm probably going to leave my dear tricycle behind! ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the students who had been listening to the movement here, even Zhao Zijian couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the things in his hand in surprise.
This is obviously a stinky night fragrance, but in his words it is like some kind of fragrant gluttony, which makes people unbelievable.
Zhao Yiyan nodded lightly at the other party.
"When I went to Beijing to take the exam, I hope you will be on the list and do what you promised before."
The man's originally smiling face immediately paused, looked at Zhao Yiyan seriously, and nodded heavily.
"I will definitely not be ashamed of the teachings of all gentlemen, princes and Zhong Gongzi."
After saying that, he smiled and pushed the tricycle down the mountain.
Zhao Zijian waited until he was gone, then he exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then took a big breath of fresh air.
Although it still smells, it is much fresher than before.
When he recovered, he looked at Zhongli a little strangely.
"Don't you think it's a bit insulting to do something like this? He is a student rushing to take the exam in Beijing and Tianjin, if it is known that he pours night incense every day in the academy, even his father will feel uncomfortable, right? ”
Zhongli raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his lips and looked at Zhao Zijian, although she had pretended to be sleek, but the coldness in her bones was still revealed.
"Uncomfortable? Why? Dare to ask the fourth prince, didn't you show respect in the past? ”
Zhongli didn't mean to hide it at all, so most of the people nearby heard the words "Four Princes", and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at them with eagerness.
Zhao Zijian touched his nose a little embarrassed, and his eyes swept towards Zhao Yiyan for help.
It's just that Zhao Yiyan made it clear that he and Zhongli were all the way, and he didn't mean to help him at all.
Zhao Zijian had no choice but to save himself.
"Well, although this thing is inevitable for everyone, you can also hire someone to do it?"
Otherwise, even if he becomes the champion at that time, it is estimated that he will only be the champion of Yexiang.
"Hire? Okay, since the fourth prince has the intention of helping, of course I am willing. When I go back, I will ask the figure to carefully count how much silver the person who pours the night incense needs to go to the Four Kings' Mansion to get it. Don't worry about the long distance, there were still many students who entered Shilin last year. ”
Zhao Zijian couldn't be regarded as stealing chickens and losing a handful of rice, and he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
was just watched by many students, but he still maintained his usual demeanor and nodded calmly to Zhongli.
"To be able to help the academy do something, this king is naturally willing."
Zhongli couldn't help but chuckle, raised an eyebrow, and stopped talking.
It's just that Zhao Zijian is scratching a cat in his heart, and he wants to hurry up and see this different academy.
But now that their identities have been revealed, the people next to them have come over to this side.
There are many people who turn their attention to him, after all, he is the prince, the son of the emperor, and he is different from the identity of King Qingyang.
If he can be taken a fancy to, maybe he can not go through the imperial examination, but enter the palace of the four princes as a staff, and then when to enter the court with the help of the big hands of the four princes, it is much simpler and easier than going through the imperial examination.
Zhao Zijian here bears the enthusiasm of many students, but Zhongli seems to be even more popular here.
"Zhong Gongzi, your poems from the first two days are simply amazing! I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! These two sentences are simply so vivid and expressive! ”
……
Zhao Zijian accidentally heard this sentence next to him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhongli, and there were turbulent waves in his heart.
I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together?
He turned a few steps to this side, smiled, looked at the person who had just spoken, and spoke quickly.
"This son, I don't know what the content of the whole poem is? I always knew that Zhong Gongzi's writing was very good, but I didn't be able to appreciate it! ”
Zhongli couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
He wanted Zhao Zijian to leave quickly, but who knew that the people around him were too excited, so he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
"I know, I know. When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky...... I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
Zhao Zijian gasped and looked at Zhongli with some horror.
He still remembers that Shangque a few years ago, but now his poetry skills seem to have reached a higher level!
Zhongli was originally plagiarized, and when he was praised at this time, he also felt red.
He had the intention of telling people to leave, but he got even more enthusiasm from them.
"No, no, no, Zhong Gongzi didn't just say such a poem that night. I happened to be nearby, so I listened to a ten. I'll read it to you. ”
