As soon as the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Tan Jiaoyu sent someone to deliver the message, and the selection day was officially set on the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

As soon as Bai Liang and the others got the news, they immediately fought at night, racing against time, and worked harder and harder than before.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Tan Jiaoyu came to the badger village early in the morning, and also brought Ye Zeming and Liu Kai as deputies to assess the students.

Unlike the previous selection of talents to fill the Black Armor Guard, this selection is not only presided over by Tan Jiaoyu himself and you win or lose a game, but also that there are no large classes or small classes, all of which can participate.

Of course, the sooner a child who is gifted in reading receives a formal education, the better.

The selection rules of Tan Jiaoyu are very simple, just do the exam papers.

The question is that he has made slight adjustments according to the test paper of the children's exam, and the difficulty is much reduced.

After all, these children have only been enrolled for a year and a half, and they are completely starting from scratch, and they do not have a good environment for entering school.

The time for answering the questions is two hours, and the content ranges from Mongolian to poetry, and so on.

Tan Jiaoyu and Han Yan drank tea in Han's house to get to know the students, while Ye Zeming and Liu Kai were in charge of invigilating the exam.

The morning passed slowly.

By the time Shu Yu had prepared a large table of mountain game, Ye Zeming and Liu Kai had already collected the exam papers, and told the children to come to check the results in the evening.

The children responded politely, respectfully watching Ye Zeming and Liu Kai leave the school with the exam papers, no matter whether they did well or not, they all breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and the whole person relaxed.

"Oops, my poems aren't ...... good"

"Me too, I don't know where to solve the problem, alas......"

……

"I think I answered pretty well." In the midst of the complaints, a distinctive voice sounded, and the room was silent.

When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they saw Zhang Cheng say calmly.

"Hahaha, I'm not ashamed!"

"Even Bai Liang didn't say this, you little doll dared to talk so much."

"Hahaha......"

……

Everyone laughed, but they didn't despise Zhang Cheng, they just felt that he was still a child less than ten years old, and newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, so they dared to amplify their words.

Zhang Cheng looked around aggrievedly, and when he saw that everyone didn't believe him, he pouted and pulled Xiao Wangzhi away.

Although he didn't know how to do every question, he answered everything he could seriously.

That's right, Xiao Wangzhi, who is less than three years old and can only draw a few words, also participated in this selection.

What Han Yan meant was that although Xiao Wangzhi was his "son", he was also his disciple, and he should not be special in the academy.

……

All of them didn't take Zhang Cheng's words to heart.

However, when the list was released in the evening, everyone saw the results and dropped their jaws in surprise, among the names of the selected people, Zhang Cheng's name was written at the end.

"No, how can he pass the exam?"

"Yes, yes! Even the children in the kindergarten class have fallen off the list a lot, and I don't usually see how good he is? Why is the exam paper better than what we do? ”

"Could it be that the Master specially recommended it to the Sect Master? ……”

After all, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Wangzhi have an excellent relationship.

Someone was silent.

Someone angrily refuted: "How can the Master, such a glorious and unrestrained person, act like this? Don't slander him! ”

Bai Liang, who had been frowning and silent, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

He wanted to speak out to defend Han Yan just now, but as the top of this selection, he was already eye-catching enough, and he was afraid that he would be unhelpful if he spoke again.

The person who spoke before was just sour in his heart after falling off the list, and said casually, of course, he didn't really doubt Han Yan's character, and when he heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he pursed his lips and said no more.

There are those who have the same thoughts, and when they hear it, they are ashamed, and they bow their heads and say no more.

The master's dedication to them and to the badger village is obvious to all, even if they are lost because they are not on the list for a while, they should not say such things.

……

Seeing this, Tan Jiaoyu personally stood up to explain everyone's doubts: "In this selection, everyone's performance surprised the official.

"Especially Bai Liang and others, they are not at all like Mengtong, who has just entered school for more than a year, they are rich in learning and knowledge, and in time, they will definitely shine in the scientific examination.

In addition, Zhang Cheng from the small class was also very surprised by the official. Although he is not as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as the students in the large class because he is young, he is diligent and steadfast, but he can seriously understand the gist of what the master says. As long as he is given enough time, he will definitely catch up. ”

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Tan Jiaoyu was interested in Zhang Cheng's character and potential.

Thinking about Zhang Cheng's diligent learning on weekdays, except for Bai Liang, who can compete with him, no one else can compete with Zhang Cheng in this regard.

However, to everyone's surprise, as the only student selected in the small class, Zhang Cheng chose to politely refuse the olive branch offered by Tan Jiaoyu.

"The students are young and talented, and they can't afford to be so loved by the adults." Zhang Cheng said apologetically.

Everyone was in an uproar for a while, surprised and puzzled.

Such a good opportunity, others couldn't ask for it, Zhang Cheng actually took the initiative to give up!

Even Han Yan, Tan Jiaoyu and others couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.

"Why?" Tan Jiaoyu expressed puzzlement.

This is also something that no one understands.

I saw Zhang Cheng apologize and said frankly: "If you say to the Lord of Islam, since the students entered the school, they have been taught very little by Mr. Han, and they are very envious of the senior brothers in the large class.

"Now that the students finally have the opportunity to join the large class and listen to Mr. Han's teachings, they don't want to give up.

"Besides, the students are young, and they have many deficiencies compared to the senior brothers, and they can't be compared with the predecessors of Confucianism in the county.

"If you are reluctant to enter the school, you will be in danger, and you will not be able to live up to the grace of the Teachings today."

After hearing this, Tan's eyes were amazed.

A child under the age of 10 is able to see where he is and be able to stick to his heart and not be tempted by external objects, which is simply beyond the reach of many adults.

"In that case, then the official is waiting for the day when you learn to become confident, and the door of county Confucianism will always be open for you." Tan Jiaoyu laughed.

When everyone heard this, they were very envious, this promise was much more weighty than entering the county Confucianism now!

However, Zhang Cheng is indeed worth it.

"Thanks to the great love of the Teachings, the students will do their best to live up to the kindness of the Teachings." Zhang Cheng solemnly promised.

Tan Jiaoyu nodded appreciatively, and announced in public the time and precautions for the people on the list to report on Confucianism in the county, and left in a hurry.

Han Yan took the children of the school to send Tan Jiaoyu and his party all the way out of the village. 2k reading web
