Chapter 17, the magic weapon of crushing
It's really him!
The old man was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't hold the true yuan under his feet, and directly stepped on the branch. After perceiving his gaffe, he had to secretly run the Dao method to quickly calm down. The burning heat in his heart was forcibly extinguished, and his gaze became indifferent again, like two ancient wells without waves for ten thousand years.
Seeing that the old man was just smiling calmly, Kuroko was a little disappointed. He thought that after he announced his name, the old man would have a little other look. Kuroko bowed to the old man, then arched his hand and wanted to leave.
At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "The old man is Gongsun Xuan. ”
Kuroko was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, this is the old man's self-registration number. He didn't look back, just waved his hand backwards to indicate that he had made a note, and then walked forward again.
"Ahem...... The old man is the head of Tianhong Academy in Luzhou City. Seeing that after he reported his name, he was actually ignored by a teenager, Rao is grandson Xuan's self-cultivation for many years, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this time. He wanted to leave immediately, but he couldn't let go of the secret in his heart, so he had no choice but to explain one more word to this young and ignorant little guy.
Kuroko's footsteps were another one. He had a faint impression of this "Tianhong Academy", as if he heard Shi Yiwan mention it last year. He turned around and wanted to ask more carefully, but he only saw the old man's tall back, and his old voice came from afar: "If it is autumn this year, remember to come to Tianhong Academy to find me when the time comes." ”
Kuroko was stunned.
Township test?but...... But I can't even memorize the "Three Character Classic" now.........
He had a bitter little black face, and wanted to chase after him to explain to Gongsun Xuan, but as soon as his footsteps moved, he breathed again, feeling that it was pointless to catch up like this.
Anyway, I'm sure I won't be able to pass the township exam......
In this way, he secretly "comforted" himself in his heart, feeling both inferior and inexplicably at ease, as a matter of course.
After this situation, Kuroko didn't have the heart to read. He took the path and walked straight home from the other side of the woods.
At dinner in the evening, the parents chattered about the trivial things in the countryside, and the sunspot was absentmindedly picking up the rice grains on the side, and his mind was full of the scene of meeting Gongsun Xuan today. He was a little hesitant, thinking about whether to tell his parents about the "big event" of meeting the "Dean of Tianhong Academy", after all, apart from this, he didn't know what else he could show off in front of his parents.
"Hah, I almost forgot. Heizi's father, who was talking energetically, suddenly patted his head and turned his head to look at Heizi: "Heizi, your uncle Wang came to the village head in the morning, saying that Shi Fuzi from the private school in the town went back to his hometown to recuperate, but a new Xu Fuzi has come to replace him, and classes can be restarted tomorrow." ”
"Oh, I see. Kuroko bowed her head in response, not noticing what her father meant by "reopening classes" at the end. He gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to look at his parents, and said quite nervously: "I, I met the mountain chief of Tianhong Academy in Luzhou City today. ”
"Tianhong Academy...... Heavenly ......," Kuroko's father nodded casually. He reached out and grabbed a steamed bun and was about to stuff it into his mouth, when his eyes widened suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Heizi: "What? Are you talking about Tianhong Academy in Luzhou City? is that person named Gongsun Xuan?!"
"Well, he did say that his name was Gongsun Xuan......" Seeing his father so excited, Kuroko became a little scared. He bowed his head and replied in a low voice.
Thinking of this, he began to regret telling this matter.
"Wow!" the steamed bun in Kuroko's father's hand slipped directly into the soup evening. The boiling hot soup splashed in all directions, causing the sunspot's mother on the side to be busy wiping the soup on her face, and she couldn't stop complaining.
But he didn't hear it, and his eyes were still staring at the sunspot: "Then he, has he said anything to you, such as ...... For example, let you go to Tianhong Academy to study?"
"Yes...... Some ...... "Kuroko cried with a sad face, seeing that his father cared so much about this "Tianhong Academy", and he regretted this whim "showing off" even more. He stammered: "That old man, he, he said that if I pass the township examination, then, then, I will go to Tianhong Academy to find him......"
"The ...... in the township test" Kuroko's father was stunned.
His son has a few pounds and a few taels, and he is naturally clear about being a father. Originally, when he sent Kuroko to a private school, he still had the mentality of hoping that his son would become a Chan, but unfortunately since the name of Kuroko's "stubborn stone" came out, he was considered to have died of this heart. He plans to let Kuroko study for another two years, and if he can read and settle accounts, he can come back to help him take care of the family's tenant rent.
But what happened to Kuroko today made the hope that he tightly pressed in his heart begin to move. That father doesn't want his child to be famous and glorify his ancestors?
Yes, when he first heard Kuroko say that Gongsun Xuan intended to recruit him into Tianhong Academy, he was so excited that he was about to suffocate, and he felt that Heizi, a stupid child, had finally gone through a great fortune in his life!
You know, that's the Tianhong Academy in Luzhou City! In the rumors in the countryside, Tianhong Academy recruits students extremely strictly, and the first condition is that the autumn is on the list, because of this rule, Tianhong Academy is also known as the "Zhegui Garden"; the second is that the age should not be too big, at most it will be included in the year of the crown; the last one, and the most domineering one: it must be recommended by the local government!
The first two are already extremely harsh, and the last one is simply an abyssal moat. If there is no background at home, why should those officials write you a letter of recommendation? So over the years, I don't know how many young talents have been blocked from these three rules, so they can only look at the gate of Tianhong Academy and sigh.
Tianhong Academy, which so many people want to enter even if they want to enter it, is naturally not an ordinary academy. I heard that since the opening of Tianhong Academy, all the young scholars who graduated from it have all won the examination in the end, and none of them have failed to make the list! Only this piece of gossip has spread the name of Tianhong Academy all over the world, and it is regarded by countless people as the best place for fish to leap into the dragon gate.
Hearing Kuroko say that he had met the mountain chief of Tianhong Academy today, how could Kuroko's father not be overjoyed? He thought that the ancestor was finally about to manifest himself. It's a pity that the only request of the people is to directly stop the sunspot at the door.
Township test in the lift!
In the eyes of others, this township test is not a difficult event. But for this stupid son of his own, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky!
Have you ever seen a schoolboy who has memorized the "Three Character Classic" for two years and still can't fully recite it? Heizi is this person who is "one in ten thousand......
He didn't even memorize the "Three Character Classic" well, and you still expect him to pass the township exam? It's like holding a toothpick and trying to pry Mount Tai.
"Ha, it's okay, it's okay, maybe Mr. Gongsun Xuan is joking with you......" Seeing his son's face full of frustration and anxiety, Heizi's father hurriedly spoke out to comfort him. But he didn't realize how bitter his voice was.
"Yes, yes, the old gentleman must have passed by here, bored and just laughing with you. Kuroko's mother hurriedly agreed.
"Oh, I see" Seeing the look of disappointment hidden in his father's eyes, Kuroko lowered his head and felt a pain in his heart. Although he was stupid and stupid, and the name of "Stubborn Stone" resounded throughout Zhangjia Village and even the entire town, his parents laughed at it, explaining to his neighbors that he was "young and ignorant", and never used this to scold him. Now a great opportunity is in front of him, and he can't catch it, but his father comforts himself......
Thinking of this, Kuroko's eyes turned red, and tears slowly surfaced in his eyes. He had to take a few bites of food to gagged his throat to keep it from choking.
I want to apply for the township examination! Kuroko shouted loudly to himself in his heart.
Even if this will be ridiculed and ridiculed, I will never back down!
