Chapter 44: A Sudden Surprise
Meng Lianyi was a little surprised.
It is said that Qingyang Academy is very popular in the hearts of readers, but they didn't expect it to be so popular.
There were more than a dozen carriages parked at the door alone.
With doubts, Meng Lianyi was about to knock on the door.
But suddenly I heard a crisp voice in front of him ringing out behind him: "You are also here to participate in today's academy assessment?" ”
"Assessment?" Meng Lianyi asked rhetorically with some puzzlement.
What assessment?
I brought Mo Xiuran over today, just to inquire about the enrollment situation of Qingyang Academy, and see if I can send Mo Xiuran in.
As for what kind of assessment, she didn't know why.
But listening to him, it seems that he came at the right time today.
Thinking of this, Meng Lianyi felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and quickly turned his head.
I saw that the person who spoke was a teenager, but his voice and appearance really didn't match.
The boy looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he was white and chubby.
Originally, a fat person may look a little greasy, but the boy is not like this, although he is chubby, but because he has a smile on his face all the time, his grandson's baby face looks particularly cute.
It's very impressive to look at.
Meng Lianyi felt good about the previous teenager.
So he turned around and smiled at the young man and asked, "Little brother, what do you mean by the assessment just now?" ”
The boy was stunned.
It seems that Meng Lianyi didn't know about it.
After a moment of silence, he was a little puzzled:
"Don't you know that today is the daily assessment of Qingyang Academy? Then you come here......"
"Today is the assessment?" Meng Lianyi and Mo Xiuran glanced at each other, both of them a little excited.
Seeing that the young man was looking at them puzzled, he hurriedly said: "We originally came here to ask about the assessment of Qingyang Academy, but I didn't expect it to be today, this is really a coincidence, I just don't know if there are any restrictions on this assessment?" ”
"Restrictions? There are no restrictions, all students under the age of 13 can participate in the monthly assessment, and if they are successful, they will be able to successfully enter the school. The boy scratched his head.
"That's right." Meng Lianyi nodded while looking at Mo Xiuran.
"Xiu Dye, we can participate in the assessment today, if you pass the exam, you can enter Qingyang Academy to study." Meng Lianyi said, with a bit of joy in his tone.
Mo Xiuran's eyes are also bright.
After hearing Meng Lianyi say this, he was excited and a little apprehensive at the same time.
However, thinking of the last time Aunt Meng took her to the village to apprentice, she was ridiculed, Mo Xiuran secretly swore in her heart that she must succeed in this entrance assessment.
It is important for those who once looked down on them to see that they are not the stubborn people they say they are.
The little fat man seems to be a self-cooked.
After seeing Meng Lianyi and Mo Xiuran, he enthusiastically introduced the matter of Qingyang Academy to the two.
From his mouth, Meng Lianyi learned that the little fat man's name was Bai Jing, and he was only eleven years old this year.
The reason why it looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old is because the little fat man's biggest hobby on weekdays is eating, and his family spoiled him when he was a child, so he didn't control his body shape.
Nowadays, it is not so easy to lose weight.
And this is not the first time he has participated in the assessment of Qingyang Academy.
As early as a few years ago, he came to take the assessment from time to time, but he never passed.
So this time he studied hard at home for two years, and then he came to Qingyang Academy again to participate in the assessment, hoping to be successful in one time.
It's not the same as the little fat man's twitter.
Mo Xiuran was relatively silent along the way.
It's just that although he is silent, he is not cold.
Every time the little fat man spoke, Mo Xiuran would focus on him seriously, and every time the other party said something important, he would nod in agreement.
Such a serious appearance made the little fat man Bai Jing like the younger brother in front of him very much, so he offered to participate in the assessment together.
Meng Lianyi naturally had no opinion.
Anyway, I know too little about this Qingyang Academy, and it is naturally best to have such an "experienced" "senior" as a little fat man.
And in the short time they got along, the little fat man had unilaterally regarded Mo Xiuran as his good friend.
When I arrived in the hall, I found that there were already many people waiting inside.
Except for some teenagers under the age of thirteen, the temple was full of parents who came to see off their children and the servants they had brought with them.
Reading is not cheap in this era, so the books that can be read are the children of rich families.
Even the little fat man Bai Jing brought two servants.
As soon as the fat man who was still chattering entered the hall, he suddenly fell silent, and the whole person was full of the word nervous.
Meng Lianyi looked funny, and wanted to persuade a few words, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stand quietly on the side.
Several people waited for two hours, and finally a few serious middle-aged men came out of it.
The rules of the academy were read out.
Most of them are honest and can't cheat during some assessments.
There is no difference from the rules read out before modern exams.
Then all the children who are ready to take the test stand in a row, ready to go in for the assessment.
Meng Lianyi told Mo Xiuran a few words, and then sent people over to line up.
The little fat man has participated in the assessment many times, so he is already familiar with these processes.
Hearing the master's greeting, he hurriedly took Mo Xiuran's hand and ran in one direction: "Let's go to the row, that side is close to the window, the location is the best, this side is close to the door and waits for a while, there are many people coming and going, it will affect the answer." ”
Mo Xiuran didn't care about this, but he still nodded, and followed Bai Jing over to the line near the window.
Seeing that the two of them were about to arrive.
Suddenly, there were several noises behind him.
With the sound of tables and chairs being pushed, several servants hurriedly walked over with a young man in fancy clothes.
The young man was dressed in a Washington suit, with slender and long eyes, and he added a bit of arrogance when he looked at it.
Of course, his person is also the same as his first impression.
As soon as he came over, he directly asked the servants to wave their hands towards Mo Xiuran and Bai Jing: "You two let go, my young master is afraid of the heat, wait a minute, you have to line up by the window, you go to another place." ”
As he spoke, the servant waved his hand directly at Mo Xiuran and Bai Jing.
Bai Jing frowned on the spot.
Who isn't afraid of the heat?
Originally, a house with a lot of people was easy to get stuffy, so he finally grabbed this position.
Why give it to someone else for no reason now?
Bai Jing was naturally unwilling, and went back directly:
"We're also afraid of the heat, and we're here first, so you're either going to get to another place or you're coming back next time."
