Chapter 21: Winning the Crown
The Yanying Academy is to distribute the results at dusk of the same day.
Fan Ning and his father sat in a tea shop and waited boredly for an afternoon, and finally it was almost time for the results to be released, and there were constantly candidates and parents walking in the direction of Yanqing School.
At this time, a group of people walked past the door of the tea shop, and a strange voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"Yo! Dumb hasn't gone back yet, and he's still in a daze here! ”
This is Jiang Ying's voice outside the staff, I saw more than a dozen people standing outside the tea shop, aren't they those people from the same village?
"Ning'er, ignore them!"
Fan Tiezhou turned his back in disgust, but Fan Ning quickly glanced at Jiang Agui, only to see Jiang Agui's gaze dodging him.
Fanning snorted softly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and he didn't dare to tell his father when he was beaten.
"Jiang Yuanwai, let's go quickly! It is estimated that Agui will be able to pass the exam this year, don't waste time on this little fool. ”
This is Zhao Xiaoyi's father, called Zhao Li, like his son, following behind Jiang Yuanwai with a sneer,
"Let's go, let's see the list!"
Jiang Yuanwai glanced at the Fan family father and son contemptuously, and walked briskly surrounded by everyone.
Fan Tiezhou took out ten tea money and put it on the table, got up and said to his son: "The time is coming, let's go too!" ”
Fanning nodded, put on his bookbag, and followed his father towards the school.
At this time, the entrance of the school was crowded, and parents and children were discussing today's exam.
"Fanning!"
Someone was calling him by his official name, but Fanning didn't react for a while.
After a while, he turned around and saw a strong black boy beckoning to him, it turned out to be Liu Kang, whom he met at noon.
Fan Tiezhou also saw Liu Kang and asked with a smile: "Akang, where is your father?" ”
Liu Kang stepped forward and scratched his head and said, "Daddy is looking at the store, I'm just fine, let's see how Fanning is doing?" ”
Fanning smiled: "The list hasn't been released yet, everyone is waiting!" ”
As soon as Fanning's words fell, the crowd in front of him suddenly stirred.
The door of the school was opened, and two teaching assistants came out with the admission list, and they painted the paste and pasted the list directly on the wall.
The crowd rushed forward, Jiang Yuanwai desperately picked up the crowd and squeezed to the front, he quickly scanned from top to bottom, looking for the surname Jiang in the list.
He suddenly saw a candidate surnamed Jiang at the back of the list, and his heart was excited, and when he looked closely, he was immediately disappointed, it was Jiang Feng from Zangshu Town, not his son Jiang Agui.
In addition, there are no more candidates with the surname Jiang in the admission list of thirty people.
At this time, Zhao Li pulled his sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "Hurry.... Take a look at the number one place. ”
"First place?"
Jiang Yuanwai took a closer look, the first place is called Fanning, who is Fanning?
Looking at the back again, his mouth opened wide suddenly, and he blocked Jiangwan Village.
"How can it be a candidate from our village?"
Jiang Yuanwai was surprised, "There is no candidate named Fan Ning in our village!" Is it my son, they wrote the name wrong. ”
Zhao Li's face was so bitter that he could wring out water, and he lowered his voice and said, "This Fanning is a dumb!" ”
"Impossible!"
Jiang Yuanwai roared, "How could it be him, he is a little fool, can he take the first place?" There must be a mistake! ”
At this time, the teaching assistant began to sign up loudly, "The first place is Fan Ning of Jiangwan Village!" Second place went to Juppé from this town! The third place is the county seat Li Min ....."
Fan Tiezhou rubbed his ears and asked his son in surprise: "Did I hear it wrong, I seem to have heard your name?" ”
"Daddy heard it right, it's indeed my name!"
Fan Tiezhou's face showed ecstasy, "So.... Did you get in? ”
Next to him, Liu Kang gave Fan Ning a thumbs up, and smiled at Fan Tiezhou: "Didn't Uncle Fan hear clearly?" The first place is Fan Ning of Jiangwan Village! ”
"Ahh
Fan Tiezhou was stunned, and suddenly he yelled excitedly, "The first place is my son!" ”
The people around looked at him with envy, and everyone immediately applauded, "Congratulations!" Congratulations! ”
Fan Tiezhou never dreamed that his son actually took the first place in the exam, his face was swollen and red, he couldn't even speak, raised his hand high, and thanked the four people.
At this time, a teaching assistant walked out of the school and shouted loudly: "No. 1, Fan Ning of Jiangwan Village, is he not?" ”
"In! At! ”
Fan Tiezhou raised his hand and shouted, "We are here!" ”
"Please come in! We're going to talk to you about it. ”
The crowd dodged out of the way, Fan Tiezhou pulled his son and walked towards the school, and Zhang Erlang, a fellow villager who had a good relationship with him, shouted: "Tiezhou, congratulations!" ”
Fan Tiezhou hurriedly clenched his fists, "Thank you, Erlang!" ”
The people around asked Zhang Erlang one after another, "This kid is from your Jiangwan Village?" It's not bad to take the first exam! ”
Zhang Erlang let out a long sigh, "I can't think of it!" I never dreamed of it! Dumb actually ....."
Walking to the gate, Fan Tiezhou suddenly saw Jiang Yuanwai, he snorted heavily, and pulled his son into the school with his head held high.
Jiang Yuanwai's face turned pale, and he whispered to himself, "Impossible, there must be a mistake, it must be a mistake, he is so stupid....."
Zhao Li sighed, "Outside, let's really look away, that stupid boy has been pretending!" ”
Jiang Yuanwai only felt that his heart was like a knife, and the expression on his face was more ugly than crying.
"I spent so much money to make up for my son's lessons, but he didn't pass the exam, but that stupid boy took the first exam."
........
In the room, Master Liu invited their father and son to sit down, poured them a cup of hot tea, and said to Fan Ning with a smile: "We meet again." ”
Fan Ning nodded, "It's the master of the Liu Academy who loves the students. ”
Master Liu smiled at Fan Tiezhou again: "Your son was the first in the interview and the first in the written test, which can be called the best candidate in our school in the past five years." ”
Fan Tiezhou hurriedly said modestly: "The master of the courtyard is too awarded!" ”
"I haven't won an award, but it's really nothing to be admitted to Yanqing Academy, the child's road is still long, so I won't praise him much."
Master Liu said to Fan Ning again: "I hope you can study hard in the academy, make up for your shortcomings, and achieve higher achievements in the future!" ”
Fan Ning's face flushed, the master of the academy was referring to his poor calligraphy, and he hurriedly said: "Students will definitely practice calligraphy hard." ”
Courtyard Master Liu laughed, this kid is self-aware.
"I invite you father and son to come, and there are two main things to discuss with you."
Fan Tiezhou was a little nervous, "Please speak!" ”
"The first thing is actually a good thing, according to the convention, the first place can be free of tuition, you only need to pay ten yuan a year for miscellaneous fees, compared with other students, you save fifteen yuan a year."
Fan Tiezhou's expression was solemn, although it was a good thing to save fifteen yuan a year, but the miscellaneous expenses of ten yuan a year were also a heavy burden on their family.
Fan Ning couldn't help but touch the purple agate gourd in the bookbag, and took this to offset the bill.
Seeing that the father and son were both wearing coarse cloth robes, it was estimated that their family background was not very good.
He said unhurriedly: "In addition, this academy has a reward system for outstanding students, Fanning is the first place in the entrance exam, and he can get a reward of ten yuan." ”
Fan Tiezhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, great.
Courtyard Master Liu smiled again and said to Fan Ning: "The county school affiliated school doesn't have such good conditions!" Fifteen yuan a year, not a penny is inevitable. ”
Fan Tiezhou hurriedly said: "If we don't go to the county seat, we will come to Yanying Academy to study." ”
The head of the Liu courtyard gave Fan Tiezhou a thumbs up and praised: "A wise choice, it is indeed a tiger father without a dog." ”
"The master of the hospital has won the award!"
Fan Tiezhou's face turned red, and he quickly changed the topic, "I don't know what the second thing is?" ”
"Fanning should come to the school on the fifth day of January next year, but I think Fanning had better come to the school in a few days."
Fan Tiezhou was stunned, "I didn't understand what the courtyard master meant. ”
Master Liu smiled: "I don't think Fan Ning needs to start from scratch, you can go up to the next level, and start directly from the second level, so that Fan Ning can follow last year's students in class." ”
"If you study one year less, will you not be able to keep up?" Fan Tiezhou was a little worried.
"In the first year, I still studied the Analects and Mencius, as well as the Book of Filial Piety, did Fanning feel the need to study it again?" Courtyard Master Liu looked at Fan Ning and asked.
Fanning shook his head, "You don't need to learn any more about this. ”
"That's right, in the second year of learning the Book of Songs, we will start from the Book of Songs."
At first, the head of the Liu courtyard just glanced at Fan Ninggao for the tea name of Biluochun.
In the afternoon, he specially asked about the exam, and learned that Fanning had actually read the pipe, and the poems he wrote were also fresh and elegant.
As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to get, but a good horse is hard to find, how can he let go of a little BMW foal like Fanning?
Master Liu was actually still worried that Fan Ning would be poached by Zhao Xuezheng, so he asked him to come to school first to avoid long nights and dreams.
He added with a smile: "These two months are also free of charge, and you can report early in the morning after three days, no problem!" ”
Fan Tiezhou nodded silently, of course he had no problem.
