Walking through rice paddies and wading across streams, until it was getting late, the group finally arrived at the gate of Tai'an Mansion before the city gate was closed.

Looking at the majestic city gate in front of him, Mu Chuan was shocked.

Mu Xiwen was also shocked in his heart, the city wall in front of him was eight or nine meters high, which was not at all comparable to the small city wall in Anyang County.

"Hurry up and get in, wait a little longer and it'll be curfew." Wei Ziyin reminded him, and Mu Chuan came back to his senses and hurriedly drove forward.

Entering the city, Mu Chuan was still muttering quietly: "One person costs five yuan, it's too expensive." ”

Mu Xiwen stood on tiptoe and looked around, his eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to wave at Luo Suyi, who was already waiting by the city gate.

"Plain clothes! This! ”

Luo Suyi, who was pulling his face to Tu Miao, also saw a few people, and happily picked up his skirt and ran over. "Come, boss, I'll take you to a resting place."

After walking for half an hour, a few people came to the bustling and lively East Street, and Russell Yi led a few people into a three-entry room.

"The owner of this restaurant sold the restaurant at a low price because of poor management, and Lao Tu and I just bought it two days ago. The backyard is also big and has been cleaned, so you can live with confidence. ”

Mu Xiwen turned around and was very satisfied with the geographical environment of the restaurant.

After resting for the night, at dawn the next day, Wei Ziyin got up and went to Zhiru Academy to take the entrance exam.

Like Anyang County, the East Street in Tai'an Province is a gathering place for the wealthy, while the West Street is more populous. The government school Honghui College purchased by Yi Zhifu is located on East Street, while Zhiru College is located on West Street.

Wei Ziyin walked for an hour, bypassing the bustling and noisy East Street and coming to the slightly dilapidated West Street.

The Zhiru Academy is located halfway up a quiet mountain, and it takes half an hour to climb a rugged mountain road to enter the academy.

Finally climbed halfway up the mountain, Wei Ziyin looked up and saw that a simple and solemn academy was quietly located among the tall trees.

At the end of the stone steps sat an old man in his fifties, the old man heard the sound, looked up at Wei Ziyin, and muttered softly: "Why are there so many more people who have come to apply for our academy this year?" ”

Wei Ziyin was stunned, and said, "Do I need to register here to apply for the Zhiru Academy?" ”

The old man pointed directly to the door of the academy, "Go straight and turn left into the first room, just go in and sit, and wait for the chief of Fang Mountain to come to invigilate the exam." ”

Wei Ziyin thanked the old man and came to the room as he said. There were already two people sitting in the room, one in his twenties, who glanced at Wei Ziyin and turned back with disinterest.

The other looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, thin and petite, with a good face, and when his eyes met Wei Ziyin's, he quickly withdrew his curious eyes in some panic.

Wei Ziyin casually found a seat and sat down.

After a while, four or five more people came in the interior of the room one after another, and the last person was an acquaintance of Wei Ziyin.

The man was about to come over to greet him in surprise when an old man with a serious face and sharp eyes strode into the room.

"The old man knows that you are all students who have passed the college examination this time, but it is not so easy to enter the Zhiru Academy. This entrance examination will be more difficult than the college examination, and only those who pass the examination will be able to enter the college.

And even if you are admitted to the academy, it will not be all right. If the old man finds out that any of you have abandoned your studies in the future, he will also be kicked out of the academy. Zhiru Academy does not recruit those who are indulged in pleasure, if you have this mentality, go to Honghui Academy as soon as possible! ”

The old man's piercing eyes shone with a stern light, and swept sharply over everyone present.

Seeing that no one objected, he loosened the corners of his mouth and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, let's start the assessment." The time is one hour, and after handing in the papers, you can go to the dining hall for dinner, and the second exam will start at the end. ”

Then the distribution of exam papers began.

Wei Ziyin swept the exam papers, which was indeed more difficult than the college exam, but it was still easy for him to catch.

An hour later, he handed in the test paper, and the old man at the top took it with a blank face, signaling that he could go to the dining hall to eat.

Wei Ziyin came to the dining hall according to the prompts. There are already many students dining here, and they are all wearing blue school uniforms.

The dining hall is divided into two areas, with the word "restaurant" on the right. This is a cheap area, and most of the students who come to study in Zhiru Academy are not very good, so it is also the place with the most people.

On the right, the words "Potnerf" are pasted, and only a few people eat there. It is one of the few places where some wealthy students can "add food".

Wei Ziyin took a look, and most of the restaurants were sorghum steamed buns, rice, and vegetarian dishes; Potnerf sells some meat dishes.

Mu Xiwen made a very hearty breakfast before going out, so he was not hungry at all now.

He walked straight to the evaluation area and bought two steamed buns.

What he didn't know was that the first time he appeared in the dining hall, someone was eyeing him.

A short and fat boy got next to a student in his twenties, who looked talented, and had a milky white jade pendant tied around his waist, and said flatteringly: "Brother Liao, this is the head of this year's Tai'an Mansion Academy, I don't know why I didn't go to Honghui Academy, but came to our academy to study." ”

The student who was called Brother Liao was gloomy between his eyebrows, glanced at Wei Ziyin, and said with a smile: "Hmm." ”

Seeing that Wei Ziyin only bought two sorghum steamed buns in the parity area, the short and fat young man touted: "I heard that he is an orphan, from a small county town, and his family is very poor, he must think that the bundle of Honghui Academy is too expensive." ”

"Orphans?" Brother Liao asked a little arrogantly, "Okay, what do you do when you study this kind of person, if you have that spare time, you should read two more books, but you will have to take the assessment again in the second half of the year." ”

"Hehe, no matter how many books we read, we can't compare to Brother Liao, you are really the first person in our academy, and Brother Liao will definitely be high school in next year's township test."

Holding two steamed buns, Wei Ziyin was about to find a vacant seat to sit down. As soon as he touched the chair, a stocky boy suddenly burst out of the way.

"I'm sorry, this son has someone, you can change your seat."

He raised his eyes and coldly swept over the short and fat boy, and the cold gaze without any color made the young man's originally smug expression gradually stiffen.

The man beside the short and fat boy raised his chin slightly, and his face was a little arrogant, his face was faintly blue, "Forget it, let's not ...... when we are senior brothers."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Ziyin directly ignored him, turned around and found another table to sit down.

The other students in the cafeteria were sneaking around watching the show.

"The new student is miserable, and he offended Master Liao on the first day. It's okay if he doesn't enter the academy, but if he really gets in, I don't know how he will be rectified by the gang under Young Master Liao. ”

"But Feng Fatzi has nothing to do, why is he grabbing that newcomer's seat? Bullying people for no reason? ”

Listening to the whispers in his ear, the disdain that Young Master Liao disguised had traces of shattering. He had already condescended to give this newcomer a face, but he didn't expect the other party to slap him in the face like this!
