Chapter 158 I am a chicken myself

  "It's okay." He scolded impatiently, turning to look at Mr. Wen with a smile on his face, "Let Mr. Wen see the joke."

Damn it, I’ve lost all my face!

After thinking about it, he glared at Shen Nian fiercely.

 Mr. Wen saw the dissatisfaction of several people in his eyes and smoothed things over with a smile, "Stop arguing. As this girl said, today is the admissions meeting and business matters are important. What do you think?"

 “I will listen to you, sir.” Shen Nian looked well-behaved and gave up as soon as he got the chance.

Though those people were feeling aggrieved, they didn’t want to offend Mr. Wen, so they forced themselves to smile and let the matter go for now.

 Mr. Wen nodded with satisfaction, "I am old and frail. I will leave all the recruitment matters to my grandson. I hope everyone will bear with me."

 Everyone said "please take care of yourself" again and watched Mr. Wen leave.

 After leaving, Mr. Wen sat on a high platform and saw the whole garden in his eyes.

As soon as the old master left, the Shen family looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Master, shouldn’t the students be assessed on the spot?

“What’s going on?” Li Xiuniang couldn’t help but ask.

"I don't know." Shen Er shook his head, "We will act according to the situation. We will do what others do."

 Things are not as difficult as they think.

 In the academy, assessment is the standard.

Wen Chengan stood upright and waved his hands to the servants. Several people dressed as servants came over with things.

 “Everyone has been waiting for a long time.”

With a polite greeting, he quickly got to the point, "Today, the academy is enrolling students. The dean has given some test questions in advance. Those who want to enter the academy can answer them. My grandfather will personally mark the papers and select the best candidates."

 “?!” The people present were stunned.

 The answers to the questions are not surprising, but... Mr. Wen marked the papers himself, which made people very nervous.

 Leaving a thunderclap, Wen Chengan added: "The candidates will come on stage after half a cup of tea. Please pay attention to the time."

 Instructing his servants to entertain him well, he became invisible.

 The people who came to be a disciple had no intention of chatting, and took their children and started preaching.

 “Son, you must take the exam well.”

“The glory of our family is all on you, so you have to work hard!”

“Mr. Wen is very knowledgeable, let alone his direct disciple. As long as you enter the academy, your father will give you whatever you want.”

“Enter the academy, take the imperial examination, and become a high official. My son, our whole family is counting on you!”

A group of people went crazy, wanting to grab their children’s shoulders and shake them while talking.

 The Shen family sat in the corner, dumbfounded.

"This is too crazy." Shen Er swallowed.

Shen Nian blinked and murmured curiously, "Is this the chicken baby?"

 In ancient times, people were also called chicken babies.

 The sympathetic eyes fell on Brother Man, how pitiful he was!

 Brother Man tilted his head, his eyes doubtful.

Thinking that sister was worried that she would fail the exam, he patted his chest, his face looked incredibly serious, "Sister, I will try my best."

Shen Nian was speechless.

  Well, this is... I chicken myself.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. If you can’t pass the exam, let’s hire a teacher and build a private school in the village.”

As for the private school in the village that had no sense of existence, she had long forgotten it.

As soon as Shen Nian said these words, the Shen family suddenly felt less nervous!

 Brother Man frowned.

Sir, please spend more money. He should work hard to get into the academy.

Shen Nian didn't know that her words made Brother Man more motivated to fight. She raised her chin slightly, feeling very proud of herself.

 She is indeed the best sister in the world. The time came in a blink of an eye, and the children taking the assessment went to the makeshift examination room.

“Fifth brother?” Shen Er saw the familiar figure and shouted uncertainly.

 Shen Guangyao stopped and saw the person in the second room, the smile on his face froze.

“Second brother, second sister-in-law, why are you here?”

When he saw Shen Nian's harmless smile, he suddenly remembered that his reputation was ruined and shattered by that drawing. He pursed his lips and a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Shen Er didn't pay attention to his fleeting complex expression of wanting to be discovered but not wanting to be asked. He said cheerfully: "What can I do in the academy? Of course I am looking for a husband for the boy at home, hahaha."

 Shen Guangyao looked at his nephew.

 Brother Man smiled slightly, showing his small teeth, and he looked smart, "Uncle Five."

 “I wish you good luck, brother Man.” Shen Guangyao forced a smile and said insincerely.

 “I also wish my fifth brother good luck.” Shen Er said with a smile on his face.

With a brief greeting, Shen Guangyao and Brother Man were taken to another courtyard without even having time to exchange greetings.

As soon as the others left, Li Xiuniang wondered: "Why is fifth brother here too? He is doing well in that academy."

 “It’s good, it’s good, it’s been so many years since I’ve been a scholar.” He spoke so straightforwardly, and when he heard it, he thought it was Shen Nian.

"Pfft...cough cough." Shen Er almost choked, "What you said has betrayed my daughter again."

"Oh, let me sum up and reflect." Shen Nian said smoothly.

 What she said was obviously the truth!

 Shen Er and Li Xiuniang were both dumbfounded when their daughter admitted her mistake with such smooth words.

 The Wen family entertained us well, including tea and exquisite snacks.

However, while the child was taking the exam inside, Shen Nian was the only one in the room who was interested in eating and drinking. Everyone else was looking forward to the temporary exam room.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiuniang said worriedly: "I don't know what questions sir will ask. What if Brother Man can't answer them?"

"If you don't, then you can't. No one will beat him if he turns in a blank paper." Shen Nianyun said calmly.

Shen Er: "Sister Nian is right. For children from our farm families, studying is not the only way out.

 Besides, if this academy is not full of brothers, the worst case scenario is that the daughter will go back to the village to set up a private school. "

Li Xiuniang heard what her husband-in-law and daughter-in-law said, so she simply stopped worrying about it.

Estimated three-quarters of an hour later, there was only a "ding" sound, the Wen family boy collected the examination papers, and the candidates left the temporary examination room.

Man Geer is small but nimble, and he ran to his family as soon as he finished.

“Brother Man, what’s up, have you answered?” Li Xiuniang asked anxiously.

 Brother Man nodded, his eyes bright, "The answer is out."

Li Xiuniang happily rubbed her son's head, "Really? My son is so smart."

 She was so excited that she forgot about the strength of her hands, and the little braid on the little guy's head was messed up and flattened.

Shen Nian felt very funny looking at it.

 Before Brother Man looked over, she changed the subject, "Are you confident about entering the academy?"

 “Yes!” Brother Man was not generally confident.

As soon as Shen Nian finished speaking, Shen Guangyao appeared with a white face.

“It’s a good thing to have confidence, but it’s easy to make a fool of yourself if you’re pretentious.” He said in a dark tone.

Shen Nian said seriously: "Uncle, are you talking about yourself? He is really self-aware."

Shen Guangyao's face was in burning pain, and his pale face was stained with blood and turned red.

 “I am your fifth uncle.” He said angrily.

"I know." Shen Nian said and nodded, "I'm not dizzy, and I still recognize him as a member of my family. Uncle Wu doesn't need to emphasize it."

She looked innocent, which made it difficult for Shen Guangyao to scold her.

I have two particularly tricky tasks at hand this week, and I need to take two days off. I will outline the outline by the way. Please forgive me, my cuties, and I love you~!
