The teacher's class, also known as the fasting class and the library class, is presided over by the head of the academy and presents the exam, and the content of the examination and the method of dividing the grades are basically the same as the official class. The college holds a class examination once or twice a month, called a "monthly class", once for the official class and once for the teacher, and the specific time varies from college to college. In addition, there are quarterly classes, Tongjiang Academy stipulates four classes per year, and the mountain chief will write the questions and evaluate the papers, and then evaluate A and B, and issue scholarships. Examination is an important part of the teaching of the College, and determines the level of the student in the College (full student, sub-student) and the amount of the anointing fee (scholarship).

Qing Dynasty academies, both professional and academic, attached great importance to examinations, especially in the late Qing Dynasty.

The sky is not yet dawn, and the students of Tongjiang Academy are waiting outside the gate, today is the annual exam, and they cannot enter the school casually. The students were outside in groups of three or five, talking in low voices, all discussing today's exam questions. Know-it-all Wu Lang walked up to Wu Yunlin and said in a low voice: "Those guys are the four sons of Tongren, also known as the four evils of Tongren!" Wu Yunlin followed Wu Lang's gaze, and saw four middle school students standing on the far right, and the middle school students are equivalent to the third and fourth grades, looking at their appearance, they should be third grade students. These four middle houses formed a small group of their own, all of them were gorgeously dressed and had extraordinary temperaments, and each of them looked quite arrogant, and they were slightly better than the other middle houses.

But he doesn't care about giving up his life at all.

Among the four of them, there was a student with a tall hat, thin and tall, half a head taller than Wu Yunlin, his appearance was very handsome, and his eyes were exceptionally bright.

I saw that he was wearing a green satin scholar's uniform with an exquisite texture, a leather belt around his waist, and a fine fur turned out between his neck, he had an excellent temperament, gentle and elegant, and it seemed that he was a jade tree in the wind, which was extremely eye-catching among the four.

"Who's that guy in the top hat?" Wu Yunlin Nu asked.

Wu Lang said angrily: "Have you forgotten?" We've seen him at the Dansha Pavilion. Wu Yunlin remembered it, as if he had seen their ancestors and grandchildren at the gate of the Dansha Pavilion, but Wu Yunlin didn't take it to heart and forgot a little.

Wu Lang shook his head, "It seems that you really didn't take it to heart, his name is Xu Ji, his family has always been rich in mercury in Huangdaoxi Barbarian Changguan (now Tongren Wanshan Ancient Town), he is sixteen years old this year, he was also admitted to Tongjiang Academy with the first place three years ago, and since the second year, he has never taken the second exam." ”

"So powerful, what is he good at?" Wu Yunlin asked with a curious smile.

"He is very powerful in all aspects, I heard that he can write poetry at the age of four, write prose at the age of six, and calligraphy is especially good, his grandfather is the chief official of the Huangdaoxi barbarians, and his father is a Jinshi, and now he is an official in the imperial court, which can be described as a family history."

Wu Yunlin nodded secretly, this is the real one

At this time, the bell of the academy rang, the students entered the school, and the year-end exam finally kicked off.

Ninety-six students sat in three examination rooms and started the examination at the same time, and next to Wu Yunlin was Wu Lang.

The mountain chief brought more than a dozen professors and teaching assistants as invigilators.

At this time, the two teaching assistants carried a large wooden board into the classroom, lifted the cloth on it, and the exam questions finally appeared.

The class was suddenly amazed.

Almost all of the lay students froze.

The test questions are good for the middle students, but they are very severe for the lower students.

It is required to hand in the paper at the time of unitary, that is, to end the exam at 5 p.m.

The amount of questions is large, the content is difficult, and more importantly, many of the contents have not been studied at all, such as the "Book of Songs", which is not studied until the second year of enrollment.

There are also extracurricular reading materials such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", which are still too demanding for junior students.

When the papers came out, as soon as Wu Yunlin walked to the playground, Wu Lang stepped forward and said with a sad face: "The Book of Songs, the Tao Te Ching, and the Zhuangzi have not been silently released, and I will definitely be persuaded to return home!" According to the practice of Tongjiang Academy, the results of the annual examination are too poor, and according to the convention, they will be persuaded to return home, Wu Yunlin looked at the others, everyone's faces were pale, and it seemed that they did not do well in the exam.

Wu Yunlin comforted him and said: "Everyone didn't do well in the exam, then the law does not blame the public, besides, the "Book of Songs" will not be studied until next year, this is not our responsibility, I think it should be used to give up our lives in the exam, and it doesn't matter if we can't do it." ”

Wu Lang was right to think about it, his mood was a little better, and he gloated again: "Actually, I'm still good, at least the poems and couplets have been written, Fan Jian that kid, only acquiesced in the "Analects" and "Mencius", and didn't do anything else, and if you want to expel him, you will expel him first." ”

"How did you do on the exam?" Wu Lang asked.

"It's okay, it can be made, but I don't know if it's right or not." As soon as Wu Yunlin's words fell, Wu Lang shouted in a low voice: "They are here!" ”

Wu Yunlin turned around, only to see a large group of students surrounded by four students walking out quickly, they are the four sons of Tongren, and the middle person is Xu Ji, they are full of spring breeze, and they all seem to have done well in the exam.

"Little ones, don't cry, hurry home and feed!"

Someone shouted in a strange voice, and everyone laughed.

Xia Shesheng glared at them one by one, and Wu Lang was even more furious, pointing at Wu Yunlin and saying, "What are you proud of?" Our Wu Yunlin is no worse than you! ”

Wu Yunlin hurriedly stopped him, "Wu Lang, don't say it!" ”

The four middle school students glanced at each other, their faces showing mockery, and one of them said disdainfully: "The ant king is also an ant, can he compare with an elephant?" ”

Wu Yunlin smiled faintly, but did not answer their words, and the other person saw that Wu Yunlin was silent, so he stepped forward and deliberately shook him with his shoulder, "Aren't you a little ant?" ”

Wu Yunlin glanced at him and said, "I am indeed a little ant, very small, not worth mentioning, but you are not an elephant, at most a pig."

These four highly talented students are all scholarly families, have profound family education, and have studied hard in the school for many years, and their eyes are above the top, how can they afford a small character who has just entered the school.

Moreover, Wu Yunlin's family is a thousand grandsons of the Wei Institute, who came from the countryside to study in the city, and his family background is 108,000 miles worse than theirs, which makes them despise them from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone laughed together, and someone ridiculed: "Indeed, a certain person really doesn't understand self-love, thinking that if he takes the test to show talent, he will be invincible in the world, it's really ridiculous, Tongjiang Academy hides the dragon and crouching tiger, how old is he?" ”

"You're exalting me so much!"

Wu Yunlin said lightly: "I have always been very self-aware, how can a rural primary school boy in the Qing Dynasty dare to be compared with the famous four sons of Tongren?" ”

Wu Yunlin is extremely polite and gentle, but when he speaks, he is more piercing than a needle.

Xu Ji's face was slightly red, he saw that Wu Yunlin had a sharp mouth, so he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he said coldly: "Junior brother doesn't have to be arrogant, no one dares to say that he can win the first, there are many talented classmates in the middle school, like Lu Youwei, Wang Tao, Song Ying, and a few people below, we are all likely to take the first place." However, one thing we are sure of is that there will never be a name for the next student on the results list this time. ”

After saying that, he turned and walked away, and one by one the people raised their heads, without looking at them, and strode away from them.

Wu Lang gritted his teeth with hatred, "These bastards are too arrogant, Wu Yunlin, they look down on you from the bottom of their bones!" ”

Wu Yunlin smiled lightly, "They do have crazy capital, I have only been in the company for two months, there is no need to compete with them." ”
