Chapter 332 Monthly Exam Ranking

But Xiao Lizi was trembling and cautious just now. She was walking well, so how could she fall? Now that she thought about it, it seemed that she was tripped by something.

He raised his head slightly and looked at Manager Zhou, but saw that Manager Zhou's pupils were deep and his face was expressionless. He was immediately silent.

"You go down first!" The emperor waved at them.

As soon as Zhou Gan brought Xiao Lizi out of the imperial study, without waiting for Xiao Lizi to beg for mercy, Zhou Gan said coldly: "Come here, block his mouth, tie him up and send him to the Imperial Household Department."

Several eunuchs waiting not far away responded immediately. One of them stepped forward to cover her mouth, and two of them quickly tied her up. How could Xiao Lizi resist? She could only stare with frightened eyes and whimper.

Zhou Gan walked up to one of the eunuchs and whispered, "Deal with him quickly, and leave no one alive."

The eunuch was startled, and then he took the order. He looked at Xiao Lizi with pity. Xiao Lizi was valued by the chief steward before, and many eunuchs were envious, but who would have thought that she would end up like this today.

"De Shun!" The emperor shouted in the imperial study, and soon a black shadow fell into the imperial study.

"Go check this Jiang Youzhen, he is from Wen County, Tongzhou Prefecture. The more details the better."

Soon, the imperial study returned to silence. The emperor smelled the rich sandalwood and muttered, "I hope you won't let me down."

Wen Ruyu had been out all day, and when she returned home, Jiang Youzhen was already practicing calligraphy.

She sighed. She had been practicing calligraphy recently. It seemed that she could make progress in calligraphy by practicing diligently. It seemed that she couldn't always rely on the system. She still had to work hard on her own.

"Young Master! The food in the main kitchen is ready. Master Wen is back." Qingyan came in to report.

"Then let's have dinner! Let's have it in the flower hall!" Jiang Youzhen nodded.

At the dinner table, looking at Wen Ruyu's somewhat tired face, Jiang Youzhen resisted the urge to ask.

After dinner, Wen Ruyu asked about Jiang Youzhen's enrollment today.

"Did you get admitted smoothly?" There was a hint of imperceptible envy in Wen Ruyu's tone.

"It's going well. I will start school early tomorrow morning. How about you, brother? Have you found the academy? I heard that there is a big academy in the city, called Zhanglu Academy. The teachers there are all well-known scholars, and many students are yearning to go there!"

The number of places in the provincial school is limited, and not every student who passes the examination to become a scholar can enter.

Zhanglu Academy is the largest academy in the city. Because the president of the academy is Wu Shoudao, a descendant of the Wu family, a century-old noble family, it is highly respected by students and many students come to study there.

There were even students who came from other prefectures and cities. The academy was famous far and wide. Last year and the year before, many students in the academy passed the imperial examinations and became scholars and juren, so its reputation was very high. For a time, it was even comparable to the prefectural school.

Some students entered the academy to study, and even if they passed the examinations to become scholars or juren, they never thought of changing academies. This shows how powerful the academy was.

Wen Ruyu nodded, "That's right! I went to Zhanglu Academy to register today, but the academy doesn't look at your county exam ranking. If you want to enter the academy, you must pass the academy's exam. The entrance exam will be the day after tomorrow. If you can get into the top 20, you will have a chance to enter the academy."

Jiang Youzhen didn't expect that the requirements of this academy were quite strict. "I have great confidence in you, brother. If you try your best this time, you will definitely be able to enter the academy successfully."

Wen Ruyu just smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate those students. Do you know how many students are taking the exam this time?"

He gestured and said, "So far, there are already more than a hundred people. Today is the registration deadline. There are four registration competitions a year, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is."

"So many?" Jiang Youzhen was quite surprised. This Zhanglu Academy really has some capabilities.

"Then I wish all your wishes come true, Senior Brother! Since you still have to take exams tomorrow, you must not be distracted. You can put the matter of renting a yard on hold for the time being and focus on the exams first."

"Then I'll have to bother you for a few days." Wen Ruyu felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Although this is not my house, since the owner has rented it to me, whoever I want to live here can live here!"

Wen Ruyu smiled, and then asked Jiang Youzhen whether he knew the rules of the prefectural school.

Jiang Youzhen then told Wen Ruyu all the news he had heard today, and Wen Ruyu was also deeply moved.

"So the school is so strict! If you fall behind in the monthly exams, you will inevitably have to change the grade of the school. As expected! You can't relax anywhere."

The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went back to their rooms to rest.

At the beginning of the morning hour the next day, Jiang Youzhen dressed, washed and started practicing calligraphy. This house was not far from the provincial school, only two streets away.

"Student badge!" The old gatekeeper stood guard at the door in high spirits early in the morning, asking students entering the school to show their student badges.

Jiang Youzhen lined up behind the crowd and saw the school uniform of the prefectural school for the first time.

I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful and the material is not bad.

He wore a stone-blue right-fronted robe inside and a moon-white gauze outer garment outside. The material was very textured and flowing. With this outfit, he looked like a scholar, very bookish.

It's much better looking than I imagined. Jiang Youzhen didn't expect the material to be quite good? The robe inside looks quite thick.

Because Jiang Youzhen was not wearing a school uniform and had outstanding appearance and temperament, he stood out in the crowd, and the students around him all focused their eyes on Jiang Youzhen.

"Brother, are you a new student at the provincial school?" The man in front turned around and looked at Jiang Youzhen and asked curiously.

"That's right! May I know what your name is, senior brother?" Jiang Youzhen looked at the other person. He was thin, but had a round baby face. He looked very young, and he had two dimples when he smiled. He looked kind.

"My name is Zhong Wende. What's your name, junior brother? I'm currently in the No. 2 Ding-class library. Where is your junior brother? Where has he been assigned to?" Zhong Wende reached out to the student badge in Jiang Youzhen's hand, but Jiang Youzhen covered it tightly and he couldn't see clearly at all.

The man was very talkative and asked several questions in a row.

"I am Jiang Youzhen, also from Ding-class No. 2 Book House."

"Ah? Then aren't we in the same study? You live in the city too? I'll take you to the study later. You must have never been there before."

Zhong Wende originally thought that Jiang Youzhen stood out from the crowd and was quite distant, but after chatting with him, he found that Jiang Youzhen was gentle and polite, not impatient, and always answered questions, so he opened up.

"Junior brother, look, that's where the monthly rankings are posted. Last month's list is still posted there! I'll take you to have a look."

Jiang Youzhen thought about it and realized that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Don't waste time asking around. Just write down the people on this list and then slowly figure out their writing style.

When he came to the list, Jiang Youzhen took a look at the list posted on red paper. There were a total of 324 people.

She focused on the first list, which was the key point.
