As soon as Zhao Xiuwen left, the head of the academy invited the five professors of the academy to his room.

Courtyard Master Liu said to everyone with an embarrassed face: "I discussed it with Zhao Xuezheng just now, I'm afraid our plan won't work!" ”

Professor Yang, who was in charge of teaching middle school students, nodded, "This is expected, after all, it is impossible for the county taxi selection competition to change the rules for our family, so the academy owner has to make a decision, my opinion is still to be on the safe side, and choose three middle school students to participate." ”

Professor Yan frowned slightly, "But this is unfair to Fan Ning, after all, he is the first in the annual examination." ”

"What about first place?"

Professor Jia, another professor who gave up his life in the middle school, glanced at Professor Yan very dissatisfied, knocked on the table and said: "This is not only a competition of personal interests, it is also a ranking competition for each school, we have always been suppressed by the county school affiliated school and Yuqing school, ranking third in the county, isn't it because the results of the first two competitions are not good?" ”

Professor Yan still disagreed, "It is a matter of students' future in the imperial examination, and we can't be so hasty." ”

Master Liu asked the respected Professor Zhang again, "What about Professor Zhang's opinion?" ”

Professor Zhang, who is over 60 years old and has a white beard, is responsible for teaching the students of the upper dormitory, which is the key to whether the students can be admitted to the county school, and he has stayed in the Yanying Academy for nearly 15 years and has a high prestige.

Professor Zhang said slowly: "The county taxi selection competition is first of all a team competition, since it is a team competition, it requires the three players to work together and cooperate tacitly.

Although Fanning's personal ability is very strong, but the hero's fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, without a united group, no matter how strong the individual ability is, he will lose, if the school can't enter the semifinals, even if Fanning plays well in the individual competition, he can't choose the county scholar, and finally Yanying Academy has nothing.

Personally, I think we should consider the overall situation and choose three students with tacit understanding to fight. ”

At this time, Professor Cai, who taught "Mencius", also said: "Professor Zhang is right, Fan Ning also has weaknesses, he is not good at calligraphy, which requires Xu Ji and Lu Youwei to make up for him, but according to the current situation, they are definitely unwilling, my Yanqing School will be in danger, I am worried that in the end, the three of them will not be able to choose the county priest." ”

Seeing that there was no longer any need to discuss it, Liu Yuan began to take the last step of the process, "Then let's vote!" If you agree to Fan Ning's participation, please raise your hand. ”

Except for Professor Yan, the other four people did not raise their hands, and Master Liu had no choice but to make a decision.

"Alright! Xu Ji, Wu Jian and Lu Youwei were sent to represent our academy in the competition, and I repeat that this list must be kept secret and cannot be disclosed to any students. ”

．．．．．．．

Everyone left, and the master of Liu Yuan paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands.

He was full of guilt in his heart, and he didn't know how to explain to Fanning that losing the qualification for the county taxi selection competition meant that Fanning would not be able to participate in the boys' exam.

The boys' examination is a recommendation system, each school is recommended to the county, and the county is then recommended to the state government, and after the examination, the state government recommends it to the imperial court to participate in the provincial examination.

It is not like the adult imperial examination, where there are three people who can participate in the examination.

If Fanning can't take the boy's exam, it's too cruel and too unfair to him.

But if Fan Ning, Xu Ji, and Lu Youwei are forcibly allowed to participate on behalf of Yanying Academy, it is likely that due to the infighting between the three of them, they will be eliminated in the first round of the team competition.

The basic score of the three is too poor, even if they participate in the last individual competition, they will also lose to Sun Shan.

Master Liu really felt a dilemma, and he couldn't help but consider the opinions of the professors.

Although he is the head of the academy, when it comes to major decisions, he and his professors have always negotiated and decided, which is a rule set by his father when he founded Yanying Academy.

Don't..... Is Fanning really out of a chance?

．．．．．．．

The bell for the lunch break rang, and outside the middle school class, Xu Ji beckoned to his friend Wu Jian.

The two walked to the bamboo forest next to the school, and Xu Ji whispered to Wu Jian: "It's been decided, you are the third candidate!" ”

Wu Jian suddenly cried with joy, he couldn't help but cover his face and shouted in a low voice: "Great! ”

Wu Jian was the fourth place in the annual examination, missing the top three, which meant that he was not eligible to participate in the county taxi selection competition, and he also lost the opportunity to participate in the children's examination.

That's why he was so angry when he saw Fanning on the day the list was released, and Fanning squeezed out his place.

Xu Ji sneered: "It's our tough resistance that has taken effect, so the academy master and professors have to not give up that little hillbilly, hum!" Those who go against me Xu Ji will definitely not end well. ”

"Lao Xu, I really thank you this time!"

"You're welcome, what are our brothers talking about, next time I go to the county, you can invite me to a glass of wine."

"Definitely! Certain! ”

The two of them went to the dining hall shoulder to shoulder.

．．．．．．

Juppe was on her first day of school, and as usual, she was ready to go home after school in the morning.

As she passed by the professor's room, she suddenly heard someone calling for her.

"Jupe!"

Zhu Pei turned around and saw that it was Professor Yan beckoning to her, she hesitated, then stepped forward and asked, "Is Professor Yan looking for me?" ”

"Come in, I have something very important to tell you."

Juppé walked into the room, and the tall female bodyguard followed in a flash.

Professor Yan was short in stature and looked like a chicken in front of the female guard, he glanced at the female guard, then closed the door and whispered, "The master of the courtyard strictly forbids us from leaking the news." ”

Juppé was taken aback, "What's the matter?" ”

Professor Yan said with regret on his face: "This morning, the list of participants in the county taxi selection competition has been decided, and Fan Ning unfortunately failed. ”

Zhu Pei was suddenly furious, "Why, Fan Ning is the first in the annual exam!" ”

Professor Yan sighed, "The main reason is that the middle school students resolutely resisted, and several professors also agreed that Fan Ning's participation in the selection competition would lead to the elimination of the academy, and there was nothing that could be done by the master of the academy. ”

"But according to the rules, Fan Ning must participate, Professor Yan, you also know the importance of this selection competition, which will affect Fan Ning's future." Juppé was really in a hurry.

"Of course I know, we all know it, but it's useless for me to oppose it alone!"

"Then he doesn't object to Master Liu?" Juppé still said angrily.

"Zhu Pei, Master Liu is under a lot of pressure now, the day before yesterday, Xu Ji's grandfather came to the school to put pressure on Master Liu, asking Fan Ning to publicly apologize to Xu Ji, otherwise Xu Ji will transfer to another school.

Many other parents of middle school students also wrote letters to ask the head of the school to expel Fan Ning, because on the day the list was released, Fan Ning beat a middle school student, and these middle school students all went home to complain. ”

Zhu Pei bit her lip and asked, "Has the list been handed over to the county?" ”

"Not yet, but tomorrow morning, the hospital will mainly go to the county, and I guess I will hand in the list."

"I see, thank you, Professor, for telling me the news."

Zhu Pei turned around and galloped away, and heard her say to the maid from a distance: "Don't eat, let's go back to the house immediately!" ”

Professor Yan sighed softly, whether he can change Fanning's fate depends on this little girl.

．．．．．．

In the afternoon, Master Liu was writing the registration form in the room, and at this time, the door was slamming! It was knocked away, startling the master of Liu.

"Who is it?" He asked, extremely unhappy.

"It's me!" A tall and fat figure walked in from outside.

It was Zhu Pei's grandfather Zhu Yuanfu, and the face of the master of Liu Yuan immediately turned cloudy and clear, "It turned out to be Zhu Daguan, a rare guest!" Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

"Don't give me any pretenses!" Zhu Yuanfu looked angry.

Courtyard Master Liu was stunned, "What's wrong?" Where did I offend the big officials? ”

"Humph! Let me ask you, Fanning took the first place in the annual exam, why couldn't he participate in the county taxi selection competition? ”

Courtyard Master Liu's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time, "How did the big officials know the news?" ”

"You don't care how I know the news, I just ask you, is it true?"

Courtyard Master Liu sighed, "I'm also sorry, the situation is quite special, he really can't represent Yanying Academy in the competition. ”

"Humph! It's nothing more than those little cubs who are making trouble, you are a dignified courtyard master, and you can't even settle this little thing? ”

"It is precisely because I am the head of the academy that I have to consider not only the interests of the individual students, but also the interests of the school, so I have to make this decision against my will, but I plan to contact the Mudu Town Government School to see if Fanning can represent them in the competition?"

"It's too late!"

Zhu Yuanfu denied it, he said with a blushing face: "Their list has already been handed in, I thought your list was also handed in, but I didn't expect to return this matter, if Pei'er hadn't told me, Fan Ning's child's future would have been ruined, Master Liu, you almost had to do something bad!" ”

Courtyard Master Liu was taken aback, what big deal would it do?

At this time, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought came to him spontaneously, so he smiled and said: "Actually, there is another way, it depends on whether Zhu Daguan is willing to help." ”

"Tell me about it first."

Master Liu found the opportunity, of course he would not let it go, so he hurriedly said: "Originally, my plan was to send two teams to the county to participate in the trials, Fan Ning and Zhu Pei in a group, and the other three in a group, so that the top five have a chance, but my plan was rejected by Xuezheng." ”

Zhu Yuanfu's eyes suddenly showed a strong interest, "You mean Pei'er can also participate?" She's a little lady. ”

Master Liu smiled slightly: "The rules are set by people, and in the terms of the trials, there is no one that says that the little lady can't participate, mainly for five people to participate, which will involve a lot of changes in the rules of the trials, Zhao Lao'er is troublesome and doesn't want to help with this." ”

"It's as simple as changing a few rules?"

Courtyard Master Liu laughed, "Actually, it's a sentence from Li County's order." ”

Zhu Yuanfu laughed, "Then you didn't say it earlier, Li County Ling still owes me a favor, if he doesn't agree, I will go to Governor Dong, I don't believe that I can't overwhelm him." ”

"The big officials are serious, this is actually just a trivial matter for Li County's order."

Zhu Yuanfu nodded, "This matter is settled, I will go to the county now." ”

Courtyard Master Liu stood up and said, "I'll go with you too." ”
