Chapter 12: I'm going to Mizuki
In the blink of an eye, the date of the fight with Ye Ruyang is approaching.
The people of the Siyuan Academy still can't see the slightest abnormality in Ye Qianzhong, after all, this competition will determine his stay in the school, and almost all of them believe that Ye Qianzhong will be defeated in front of Ye Ruyang.
After all, Ye Ruyang is a once-in-a-century talent in Siyuan Academy.
Although there are not many people in the huge Siyuan Academy who care about Ye Qianzhong's stay, it is a striking topic that someone will be purged from the Siyuan Academy. Although the school is rigorous, it has always been trained to teach students according to their aptitude and teach without class, and no one has ever dropped out of the school for hundreds of years for this reason. Ordinary life is always as plain as water, and once the wind suddenly rises, it can naturally affect people's nerves.
Some students even secretly set up a gamble in the academy - of course, they didn't bet that Ye Qianzhong would win, they bet that Ye Qianzhong would get lucky enough to get a few points in the 100-point test paper!
Xie Tianhua even showed a rare closeness to Ye Qianzhong, and discussed with him in an almost flattering tone: "Now most people are pressing you to do nothing in front of Ye Ruyang, you have to work hard, the higher your score, the worse those who look down on you will lose!"
Obviously, he is a participant in this gamble, and the higher Yachishige's score, the more profit he will make.
It's just that the development of things is beyond everyone's imagination, and there is a situation that Ye Qianzhong and Ye Ruyang can't control.
Just one day before the competition, a piece of paper was sent to the night family: Kyoto Mizuki Academy, which enjoys the world's first school, will select young talents from all over the country, and now Emperor Xianlong will visit several states and counties to serve as the main examiner in order to show his determination to seek talents and select talents!
Parrot Island will be his first stop!
Shuimu School is the first school in Beijing, is the cradle of enlightening national dignitaries, not to mention some giants in the court, even the current emperor has also had three years of study experience in this school, and its status can be imagined.
What's more, this time there will be the emperor as the chief examiner to participate in the selection of materials, and the selected people will undoubtedly have the affection of teachers and students with the emperor, and the future will naturally be smooth and prosperous, and the future is limitless!
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the night house rushed to tell each other.
The so-called competition between Ye Qianzhong and Ye Ruyang has also become insignificant.
Even the patriarch Ye Xiaofeng and the pillar of the Ye family, Ye Tan, reprimanded Xu Changsheng and instructed him to immediately cancel the boring competition between the two.
After all, it is the emperor who is about to come in person, and the night family must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise it may be lost and the head will fall to the ground.
So the competition between Ye Qianzhong and Ye Ruyang came to an end.
The pity is that An Xie Tianhua accepted the gambling money from his classmates, and he had already squandered most of it, and now that the gambling game is not successful, many people ask him for gambling money. Although the Xie family is also a gentry family, it has long been in ruins, Xie Tianhua naturally has no way to pay it off, and he doesn't dare to let his uncle-in-law Yetan know about it, jumping up and down all day long, kowtowing, like ants on a hot pot. In a panic, he had to put all the bags he had received on the head of the night Qianzhong.
At night, the house of Yetan is brightly lit.
In the position of Zhongzheng, the patriarch Ye Xiaofeng, who had white eyebrows, sat on the side, and Ye Tan sat aside, the two of them looked solemn, obviously discussing confidential matters.
"Yesterday, I specially visited Mr. Kangmang, and listened to his meaning, today's trip to Parrot Island should have a special meaning, but even the Mr. Dakang in the imperial capital was kept in the dark!"
As Ye Tan spoke, he carefully looked at Ye Xiaofeng who was looking up at the sky, obviously respecting the old man in front of him.
Ye Xiaofeng moved his brows, lightly touched the armrest of the Taishi chair with his hand, sighed softly and said: "Now that the clear stream is rampant in the court, the queen is spoiled and forgetful, I am afraid that I can't see it today, and I want to make a difference!
Ye Tan secretly looked at the old man's fanning beard, and asked tentatively, "Then in Uncle's opinion, how should we deal with this selection of materials?"
The old man raised his head and looked at the night sky outside the door and said leisurely: "Yejia, the essay collection belongs to my grandson of Ruyang, if you talk about martial arts, there are only two dolls in Xinghe and Qingxuan!"
Ye Tan said yes again and again.
The old man looked at Ye Tan meaningfully, and continued: "If these children can fall into the blue eyes of His Majesty, then the Ye family's achievements will be just around the corner!"
As soon as the old man said this, his face couldn't help but show a touch of red, obviously deeply moved by his own words, and he couldn't wait to conjure up another self, and said to himself with reverence: Old night, you are so talented!
Hearing this, Ye Tan's eyes flashed, and a reserved smile appeared on his face, he nodded deeply, he was very sure that in the land of Parrot Island, there was no problem of his own unevenness.
"Father, I'm going to participate in the selection of the Mizuki Academy!"
Ye Qianzhong looked at his father Ye Chun seriously, and solemnly said his decision.
Yechun thought that his son was confused because he was sick.
He stretched out his forehead and stroked it, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
He shook his head and sighed: "Son, don't think too much, that's not what people like us should do, I asked the single housekeeper of Dongfu to arrange for you to do the inspection over there, although this work is tiring, but after all, it is also a stable livelihood, next year I will find a way to carry out activities, see if I can change the shopping errand, then our father and son can rest easy!"
Ye Qianzhong looked at his humble father, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, but he still had the courage to say word by word: "I must go to participate in the selection of Mizuki Academy!"
As he spoke, he took out a shabby red list and said stubbornly: "This notice says that all children who have reached the age of ten in Parrot Island are eligible to sign up!"
Ye Chun saw that he was so persistent, and he didn't want to say anything more, but his heart was full of pity and sorrow.
Two days later, the selection of the night house officially began.
A high platform was erected in the Rongxi Hall of the Ye's West Mansion for the display of the Ye's talents who came to sign up.
On the high platform sat Ye Xiaofeng, Ye Tan, Kang Mang, and Ma Hualong, the scholar and politician of Parrot Continent, which shows that the Ye family attaches great importance to this selection.
In principle, the Ye family, as well as the children of the relatives and deceased families, are eligible to participate in the selection, but this situation has already made the children of those small doors and courtyards retreat and discourage.
On the first day of selection, the selection was based on arts and sciences. Those children who thought they were good at writing naturally didn't want to miss it, so they were on the scene early in the company of their family servants.
The most eye-catching in the meantime is naturally the leader of the Siyuan School and the future star of the Ye family.
At this moment, Ye Ruyang, who was dressed in a silver robe and had a face like a crown of jade, was surrounded by a group of young boys and girls and stood in the middle of the stage, facing his grandfather Ye Xiaofeng.
In everyone's opinion, in today's selection, Ye Ruyang must come out on top, whether it is based on Ye Ruyang's strength or Ye Xiaofeng's lofty position in the Ye family.
A fat and fair-skinned young man was squeezing to Ye Ruyang's side, arching his hands to greet Ye Ruyang.
Ye Ruyang obviously didn't put this person in his eyes, but he couldn't lose the due politeness, so he looked at him out of the corner of his eyes and said, "Brother Tianyun, I want to show my skills today!"
The fat young man, who was called Tianyun, immediately smiled all over his face, and waved his hand again and again: "Brother Ruyang, don't laugh at me, my little brother is here today just to see my brother's peerless demeanor!"
Ye Ruyang shook his head reservedly to show his modesty, but when he turned his head, he saw the emaciated Ye Qianzhong standing quietly in the southeast corner of the venue, and a sneer of sarcasm and disgust immediately appeared on his face.
The young people around him noticed something strange, and looked at him with a cold look.
Naturally, Yachiju could hear and see people's contempt and rudeness towards him.
At this time, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, because the occasion in front of him was the first time he had experienced it in his life, and he didn't know if the things in Shen Shengnan's head could come in handy here.
The sundial on the side of the high platform pointed to Shen Shi, and the night poly robe, as the governor of the selection committee, walked up to the high platform, and the selection of talents in the night house officially began.
In this selection of arts and sciences, the contents of the examination are four items: poetry, arguments, music, and mathematics.
Among them, the words and poems are written on the spot according to the selected topics, the arguments are based on the things of the present day randomly assigned by the examiner, the rhythm is the live chant, and the mathematics is the number art assigned by the solution.
After Ye Di announced the rules, he sighed in all directions, and Ye Ruyang, who stood tall in the crowd, was even more calm and extraordinary.
The night in the corner couldn't help but secretly sigh.
Suddenly, he felt something strange in his back, and when he looked back, a pair of eyes happened to be in front of Shen Buxian.
Shen Buxian's wonderful eyes flashed, she tugged at Ye Qianzhong's sleeve and said excitedly: "Ye Qianzhong, I knew that you were not a person who was willing to live under the people, and I knew that you would definitely come!"
And there was great joy in the words.
Ye Qianzhong's face was hot at her burning gaze, which provoked Shen Bu to cover up Hu Lu.
This situation was really seen by Ye Ruyang, who was standing in the center, and a sneer flashed on his handsome face.
