Concubine Jing sent her younger brother to find an excuse to visit Song Beibei and wait for an opportunity to make trouble.

The reason for that person's search was particularly legitimate, so that Song Beibei couldn't refuse:

It is said that it is a new private academy, and it plans to compete with Qingbei Academy and compete for the position of the first academy in Beijing.

Song Beibei, as the champion of Qingbei Academy, why do you have to go back to win glory for your alma mater, right?

Song Beibei heard this reason, and was also worried that someone was trying to trick her out, so he specially sent Lizhi out to investigate.

I didn't expect it to be true.

In the more than half a year since the eldest brother disappeared, Qingbei Academy has not continued to expand, and its development has stagnated, so some educational institutions feel that there is an opportunity to seize this market.

In Dayong, teaching and educating people can not only make money, but also a symbol of status.

One of the most famous new academies is the Luping Academy, which is rapidly expanding in size in the capital.

Luping Academy is said to be a folk academy, but it is not so folk.

The masters behind it are all university scholars who retired from the imperial court, born in a family, and have been scholarly for generations, much more official than the Song family.

Therefore, there are many students in the capital, and now they have all gone to Luping Academy.

Moreover, the students of Qingbei Academy are all outstanding students from various places, and they can only enter after passing exams.

Because Qingbei Academy only looks at the ability and does not look at the family background, there are poor students and children of the family in the academy.

But Luping Academy is different, because the founder came from the court, and many officials were their students, and they sent their sons to the academy.

Therefore, almost all of Luping Academy are children of official families, rich and powerful.

Their academy is more generous than that of Qingbei Academy, and the tools used to learn calligraphy and painting are also more high-end than those of Qingbei Academy, and the canteen is full of abalone and bird's nest.

In terms of material conditions, it crushed Qingbei Academy in almost all aspects.

After hearing these words, Song Beibei laughed disdainfully: "It's the Noble Academy!" Is it useful to engage in so many bells and whistles? When the time comes, the imperial examination will still rely on real materials. I don't believe they can pass the Qingbei Academy. ”

Li Zhi answered on the side: "Master, having said that, Luping Academy is all children of official families, representing the connections of the DPRK and China, and I heard that many Shushengmen of Qingbei Academy are planning to transfer......

Song Beibei was silent for a moment, and let out a faint "um".

Indeed, if you want to be an official, it is not enough to do well in the exam, and the connections of the court are also very important.

Now that the whereabouts of the eldest brother are still unknown, he has to guard his career for the eldest brother in the capital, and he can't let Qingbei Academy be suppressed by others like this.

But I can't see now...... You have to know what to try first, and then think about countermeasures.

Song Beibei said to Lizhi: "You go and ask the younger brother of Concubine Jing, when will the two academies compare, and what will they try?" As long as you have studied in Qingbei Academy before, can you participate on behalf of Qingbei Academy? ”

"Yes, the slave will ask."

Half a day later, Lidge returned.

"Master, the slave and maid have heard it, and the game is divided into three parts, couplet, mounted archery, and quick wit."

Song Beibei asked: "I understand the first two, what is the urgency?" ”

Lizhi was also puzzled: "The slave didn't find out, I don't know what this test is." ”

Song Beibei propped his chin and stared blankly at a certain place.

It can be understood that the couplets should be as balanced and coordinated as the poems and songs, and the style of writing should also be examined. The couplet actually tested the ability to control the poems and songs.

Riding and shooting can also be understood, the eldest brother has opened a good start to the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, and now Dayong's academy is not only teaching reading and writing, but also all-round development, and riding and shooting is the main embodiment of whether a person can be literate and martial.

But what's it like to be quick?

No matter what, this competition is related to the reputation of Qingbei Academy, and it is only allowed to succeed and not fail.

Couplet she has confidence in herself, as for riding and shooting...... Didn't Shen Zhao also study at Qingbei Academy for a few days? can also be regarded as an outstanding alumnus of Qingbei Academy, encourage him to go!

As long as they win these two subjects, no matter what they get in the rush test, they will win!

Song Beibei immediately stood up with the chair handle: "Lizhi, help me go to the next yard to find Brother Zhaozhao." ”

Lizhi hurriedly put her hand on her and held her: "Master, you slow down...... Otherwise, the slave maid should go and call Lord Shen over. ”

"That's not possible, I have something to ask him, I used to show that I was sincere."

You can also casually sell a miserable moral kidnapping, so that Shen Zhao knows that she is so miserable and goes to him for help, he will definitely be reluctant to refuse.

Lizhi had no choice but not to persuade and helped Song Beibei over.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Song Beibei asked Lizhi to go back first.

She stepped into the courtyard and slowly groped towards Shen Zhao's bedroom.

"Zhao ...... Oops......"

She just wanted to call Shen Zhao, but suddenly kicked the flower pot in the yard and planted it straight forward......

But in the next moment, she leaned into a familiar, firm chest.

Song Beibei raised his head and smirked: "Brother Zhaozhao." ”

Shen Zhao looked at her helplessly.

He had spotted her from the time she and Lizzie appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

If it were normal, she would have asked Lizzie to help her in, but she didn't.

Then there is only one possibility...... She has something to call him, and she deliberately sells it miserably here.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Shall we go into the room and talk about it?"

"Hmm."

Shen Zhao took her hand and took her to the bedroom with her.

When he walked to the front of the threshold, Shen Zhao stopped, picked her up and walked in, and put her directly on the chair.

He also dragged a chair and sat down in front of her: "Now I can speak." ”

Song Beibei sat down obediently and said in his direction: "Qingbei Academy has been issued a war book by another academy, and it has to be tested." There is a project of riding archery, Brother Zhaozhao, you also participate. ”

Shen Zhao laughed: "I'll participate in this kind of competition, and I will show my face more." Let's let the students play on their own. ”

"That's not good, Luping Academy is also very powerful, so I want to use this competition to slap Qingbei Academy in the face! So make sure it's foolproof. You'll be safe and sound when you go! ”

"It's just riding and shooting, don't underestimate the students of Qingbei Academy, many of them can." Shen Zhao was helpless, "And if I go, people in Beijing will think I'm idle." ”

The dignified superintendent of the spy bureau, not doing his job, ran to bully the students of Luping Academy, and no one should laugh at it.

But Song Beibei hasn't given up yet.

"But you've been very idle for a while......" She took Shen Zhao's hand and shook it, puffing out her face and coquettishly, "Brother Zhaozhao, this is my eldest brother's career, he makes money and I am rich, I am rich, you have money to spend, you don't lose money." ”

Shen Zhao chuckled: "It's one thing for me to be idle, it's another thing to let others know, I won't play with you in this competition." ”

Song Beibei was silent for a moment, but Shen Zhao still didn't change his words.

Song Beibei's face was angry, and he stood up suddenly: "Hmph, if you don't go, I'll go to Senior Brother He Yu for help!" ”
