Chapter 215
The dean chuckled and shook his head: "No, the main reason is to bring them here to gain knowledge and not to be complacent. There are far more talented people than they think!"

The old man said: "The dean is really well-intentioned!"

The dean said: "Our college only has two people to take the exam this year, one is civil and military and the other is academic. There are more people from the big academies. Huamen Town is always too small."

The old man said: "Dean, please stop being modest. I think these students are quite good. This courtesy of humility is the credit of the dean and the master!"

The dean smiled and said, "I'm so impressed. If only there were a few more students like Wen Wu, I would have nothing more to ask for."

"No, it's because the dean and master taught me well, otherwise my civil and military skills wouldn't have progressed so fast."

The dean said: "Although hard work can make up for your laziness in studying, old man, there is another very important thing, which is talent. Besides, except for Wenwu, the other children in your family are also good, but what makes me regret is that their hearts are not in science." Pass the exam."

The old man said: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. As long as they don't go astray and my old man is open-minded, they can do whatever they like."

The dean said: "What the old man said is absolutely true, but I am wrong! As long as we teach the children to know etiquette, justice, integrity, and to distinguish right from wrong, that is the meaning of our existence as teachers."

The two chatted for a while.

At this time, Xu Wenwu and Qian Xuedong came over with several classmates.

"I want to take them out for a walk. Dean and Master, will you go with me?" Xu Wenwu asked.

"I won't go. You young people can go and relax," the dean said.

The old man said: "Shall I let the second child come with you?"

Xu Wenwu said: "No need grandpa, the second uncle still has his own things to do. I have memorized the route and can find it back."

The old man nodded and said, "Then you come back early."

"Got it, grandpa."

Qibao said: "Grandpa, I will go with eldest brother and the others."

The old man nodded and said: "Go, go, be safe."

So he took Fu Rui, a total of eight people, and they all walked out of the hot pot restaurant together.

"Brother Xu, I just said that it would be better for you to negotiate with the dean. Am I right?" One of the classmates said with a smile. He seemed completely different from the one who was respectful in front of the dean just now.

Xu Wenwu smiled and shook his head.

"This Qingyun City is really big! There are many people and it's really lively. When I came here, I heard passers-by discussing that someone offered 500 taels as a lottery and invited knowledgeable people from all over the country to participate in a talent competition. No. 1 can get these 500 taels."

Qian Xuedong said: "That's a lot. Wenwu, how about we join in the fun?"

Xu Wenwu said: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"

A few people found someone to ask for directions. Unexpectedly, everyone knew about this matter. Anyone would know about it, so they quickly found the location of the arena.

When they arrived, many people had already gathered around. On the stand, a middle-aged man stood on it and said: "First of all, I welcome talented people from all over the world to come to our Qingyun City. I wish you all the best to be on the exam list. "

Someone below took the lead in shouting.

Qibao knew at a glance that this was an atmosphere group arranged by this person in the crowd, trying to arouse everyone's emotions.

The middle-aged man smiled and pressed his hands, and said: "In order to relieve everyone's tension before the exam, I would like to select ten people from among you to challenge the questions I asked, just for fun. I wonder if any of you will take the initiative to sign up. Yes? You can come on stage!"

The people below were talking quietly.

"Then let me be the first to sign up!" A young man in brocade clothes walked onto the stage holding a folding fan.

"Hey! Mr. Wen, why are you here to join in the fun?" the middle-aged man bowed and bowed respectfully.

"Since there is this arena, is it possible that only those who have taken the exam can participate in this arena?" Young Master Na Wen asked.

"That's not the case. Anyone who thinks they are knowledgeable can participate." The middle-aged man said. "Cousin, you can definitely get No. 1! You are not the same as those cats and dogs!"

At this time, an extremely arrogant voice came from the crowd.

"Boy! Who do you think is the cat or the dog?"

"That's right! Where are you from? Which school do you go to? Is this how your master usually teaches you?"

"If you have the skills, go up and compete. Why are you shouting so arrogantly down below?"

"Since you said that your cousin, cats and dogs, can't compare with you, then I'm going to compete with your cousin today!"

"That's right! Whoever comes here is not a bit capable, who are you looking down on!"

For a time, the court was full of words criticizing the person who spoke.

"Hmph! I said you can't compare to you, but you can't compare. My cousin is the eldest son of Wen Zhifu's family. Can you compare?" The voice said arrogantly again.

Qian Xuedong and Xu Wenwu became more and more familiar with the voice. However, there were too many people and they could not see clearly the appearance of the speaker. They only knew that the voice came from their right.

"What? This young master is the son of the prefect?"

"How could the prefect's son be with such a person?"

The lowly ones whisper.

"Miss, this person is really annoying. He lives in our Wen Mansion and now he says such things in public. Doesn't this bring hatred to the young master?"

"Yuan'er, elder brother will have a solution."

"Gao Yuan, don't talk nonsense here! I've said it many times, don't call me cousin! I'm not your cousin!" Mr. Wen on the stage frowned and said with disgust.

Qian Xuedong said: "Gao Yuan? It can't be the Gao Yuan who claimed to be the county magistrate's son that I met last night, right? No wonder this voice sounds familiar to me."

Xu Wenwu said: "The eighth achievement is him."

Several classmates next to him asked: "Brother Qian, Brother Xu, do you know this person?"

So Qian Xuedong briefly told them what happened last night.

"Okay...Biao...Brother Wen, I'm used to it! But what I said is all the truth!" Gao Yuan felt a little embarrassed by the rebuttal. He gritted his teeth in anger, but had a flattering look on his face.

At this time, after Gao Yuan's contemptuous words, a few more people came up on the stage, three people short of ten.

"Brother Xu, do you want to go up and try? I believe that with your talent, you can win No. 1."

Xu Wenwu shook his head and said: "I won't join in the fun, just take a look."

The middle-aged man spoke again: "There are still three people left, are there any who can come up?"

After a while, three people came on stage one after another. The clothes of one of them had been washed and turned white. It looked like he was from a poor family and looked out of place with the young master in brocade clothes on the stage.

"Humph, is this kind of person worthy of competing with Brother Wen on stage? He didn't even change his outfit. I thought he was wearing a rag from home!" Gao Yuan said with disdain again.

"You are so rude! Have you ever been provoked by others? Haven't you heard that talented people come from poor families? You are so powerful, why don't you do it? Do you know how to talk?"

Finally, someone in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out.

"Just him? A talented person? He's not afraid of people's jokes either! He doesn't even have any decent clothes. If I had been hiding in a corner, I wouldn't be able to come out. He's just here to catch people's attention." Gao Yuan glanced sideways before speaking. humane.

"Then wait and see!"

The boy who was ridiculed on the stage was neither humble nor arrogant. He still stood upright on the stage, as if he didn't hear Gao Yuan's words.
