Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Chapter 29 Thanks to Guaibao's Reminder
What Wang Jin said aggravated Xie Xiuwen's desire to become a teacher.

He was right, Master Xu pays more attention to people with both ability and political integrity, which is why he has only accepted a few people as his personal disciples over the years.

Of course, in fact, Xie Xiuwen felt that even if Xu Shanzhang had talents that he valued, he would not dare to put them all under his name. After all, he was already very respected to have the title of an emperor teacher. If he recruited more students, I'm afraid some people will think too much.

Xu Shanchang will have to wait until next month when he comes back. Now that Xie Xiuwen has heard the news, he must make comprehensive preparations.

Xie Xiuwen's next days became extremely busy.

There is a library in the academy, and every student can enter the building to read or copy by virtue of their ID card.

The library is also one of the reasons why Mingshan Academy is so famous.

Some students from poor families will come here to copy books. There are special staff in the library to arrange such work, which can also reduce some burdens.

When Xie Xiuwen was studying here, he copied a lot of books.

Today, Xie Xiuwen read an article and thought it was very exciting, so he thought about copying it down and taking it home for further study.

Not all books in the collection can be taken out, such as the book Xie Xiuwen is reading now cannot be taken out of the library, so I had to ask the steward for a pen and ink to copy it.

It was also a coincidence that Fan Xing and the others also came to the library to borrow books, and when they saw Xie Xiuwen writing vigorously at the desk, they naturally felt sarcasm again.

"Hey, isn't this Xie Zicheng! I heard that your family has a good income this year, so why have you started copying books again? Since you have extra money, why do you have to compete with those poor scholars for food?"

"That's right, Xie Zicheng, aren't you rich? Now you are still copying books here, how can you let those really poor students live?"

"Hehe, I don't know if it's true that the family is well-off, or if I'm deliberately showing off my wealth to raise my value!"

Xie Xiuwen ignored their cynicism, but several students not far from him turned their heads to look.

These few are the poor students who came here to take the job of copying books.

The reason why they pay attention to Xie Xiuwen is simply because they know that Xie Xiucai's handwriting is excellent. Several gentlemen in the academy have praised him for his handwriting. If he really comes to copy books, then they can I am afraid that the subsidy received will also be reduced.

Xie Xiuwen concentrated on the whole process, and he didn't seem to be affected by these people. Whether it was ridicule or suspicion or scrupulous eyes, he turned a blind eye to them and only focused on copying the book.

Seeing that Fan Xing didn't pay attention to it at all, his anger naturally rose.

When he was deliberately embarrassed, he was stopped by his classmates.

Only then did Fan Xing realize where he was.

Although he acted arrogantly, this is the library building of Mingshan Academy, and he knew that it was not a place where he could play wild. It happened that someone handed him the steps, so he walked away with a sullen expression on his face.

The people who found fault left, there was no excitement to watch, and the students naturally dispersed.

After Xie Xiuwen copied this article, he carefully put it in his arms, and put the original book back in place. Everyone knew that he must have read a wonderful article, or had a sudden inspiration. It's not really to copy books to subsidize Shu Xiu.

No one noticed that in the corner was a middle-aged man in a white gown, stroking his beard and looking at Xie Xiuwen's back with a smile.

The clerk in charge of the library's registration came over and bowed his hands: "Master Xu, I don't know that you have come here in person, but what are your orders?"

"Who was the one who was embarrassing for copying the book just now?"

In a few words, the little document introduced all the people present carefully, and at the end he did not forget to remind them.

"That Fan Xiucai is the son of the Fan family in Fucheng, and he is in class A with Xie Xiucai."

Director Xu frowned: "We are an academy here, not a place in the market. The atmosphere of the academy still needs to be maintained."

"Yes."

When Xie Xiuwen returned to the dormitory, he couldn't wait to take out the article he copied and ponder over it again and again, not even knowing that Douzi brought him water.

It has been a few days in a flash, Xie Xiuwen is free every day, so he goes to the library to study, often forgetting even tea and rice.

What Xie Xiuwen is looking through in the library now is not some exam questions of the past dynasties or general examinations, let alone the wonderful works of those students, but focusing on the more remote geography and some more practical books.

Books of this kind are not popular in the library, and it can be said that they have been lying there to ashes.

The geography collected here is not drawn by the government, but mainly tells about some customs and customs or geography and landforms. There are no pictures, only words.

In addition, Xie Xiuwen also read a large number of official documents and newspapers that can be made public.

Of course, most of the official documents are from more than ten years ago, or even decades ago.

As for the Dibao, the most recent one was about ten days ago, which shows how powerful Mingshan Academy is.

Xie Xiuwen read a lot of these, or because he suddenly remembered that Guaibao had reminded him before that since the imperial examination was for the selection of officials for the imperial court, how could these students know nothing about the important affairs of the imperial court?

Xie Xiuwen didn't realize it at the time, but felt that Guaibao didn't understand what it means to keep one's ears out of the window and only read sage books.

However, when he heard Wang Jin say that Xu Shanzhang wanted to accept his disciples that day, he suddenly realized that even if Xu Shanzhang's disciples were not top-notch in the imperial examinations, they were all really capable and able to win. A man of great trust in the imperial court.

Therefore, if you have talents and learning, but you don't care about the affairs of the court, how can you really make a blockbuster?
Xie Xiuwen patted his forehead immediately, and secretly said happily: "Sure enough, my darling reminded me right! I was careless."

In a blink of an eye, it's the monthly exam again.

Mingshan Academy is divided into four classes, A, B, C, and D. The number of students in each class is different, but Class A has the least number of students, while Class D has the largest number of students, and they are taught in a large class.

According to the regulations in the academy, if one fails the monthly exam three times in a row, one will be demoted to a lower class.

Although Xie Xiuwen has been hiding his clumsiness, every exam is at the upper-middle level of Class A, so it is not his turn to be relegated.

It's just that now that Master Xu Shan is coming back, Xie Xiuwen is still hesitating whether he wants to have a good time?
Although Muxiu is not necessarily a good thing, but if it is mediocre, Xu Shanchang may not be able to appreciate it!

In this way, Xie Xiuwen performed stably and excellently in this monthly exam, and the final result was that Xie Xiuwen ranked No.3, which was his best result after entering the academy this time.

Fan Xing felt frustrated looking at his ranking, and seeing Xie Xiuwen's beauty, his eyes turned red with anger.

"Xie Xiuwen, dare to use tricks under my nose, I can't spare you!"
