Chapter 522 Using a Little Trick!
Guagua: Yes, there is only one spot available at Baiyun Academy.
The academy once again focused its resources on Zheng and Chu.
Either of these two is fine.
But in order to silence gossip and to demonstrate the academy's fairness and justice.
Another important point is selecting who will go to Beijing to attend this lecture.
The exam lasted for one hour.
The exam covered a very wide range of topics, including people's livelihood, economy, and arithmetic.
Zheng's father did not participate in the compilation of the exam papers.
In fact, only the two strictest teachers in the academy were qualified to compile the exam papers.
Zheng and Chu naturally had no objections and participated in the exam with great excitement.
The two agreed that they would congratulate whoever won!
Shen Zhao: [That's a good mindset.]
I wish my friends well, and they will not forget me.
If you go alone, you can take notes.
Given their talent, reading notes is almost as good as attending that lecture.
Guagua: [Both of them initially thought the same way you do, host.]
But Chu Yan's family member developed a fever the day before the exam.
It wasn't a high fever, just a simple feeling of warmth.
Yet it is enough to leave one feeling weak and powerless, unable to think deeply.
The key point is that Chu Yan's family is usually in good health, and she didn't catch a cold that day.
I just got a minor illness for no reason.
Shen Zhao: [Ah, does this have anything to do with Zheng Yiqi?]
Zheng Yiqi, who happened to hear Shen Zhao's words, immediately shouted out.
"It has nothing to do with me."
I, a mere lad, would disdain using such methods to obtain that qualification.
I've always been upright and honest, with a clean conscience!
These words were powerful and resonant, brimming with confidence.
Chu Yan's family gave a half-hearted laugh upon hearing this assurance.
But this smile lacked its former clarity.
Zheng Yiqi, who was always seen coming and going with Chu Yan's family.
One look at that smile and you'll understand.
His eyes blazed with even more anger than before, and he accused the other party.
"Chu Yan family, you don't believe me?"
Why don't you believe me?
"We've known each other for so many years, how can you be so heartless!"
Chu Yan's family could no longer tolerate the repeated accusations.
An impatience flashed across his face, and he let out a sneer.
"Zheng Yiqi, you keep saying I don't believe you."
How much trust do you have in me?
You're so stubborn that you think I reported you, and you insist that I can't stand to see you doing well.
How much good intention is there in your thinking?
Zheng Yiqi paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
"But the report I received was from my father..."
Guagua's voice rang out at this moment.
[Host, this really isn't Zheng Yiqi's doing.]
Chu Yan's fever was simply because he ate a bowl of sweet porridge when he got home.
That was because Chu Yan's mother had heard about the exam and specifically called him out.
That bowl of sweet porridge was cooked by Chu's mother herself.
However, someone tampered with the water used to soak the beans.
The one who couldn't stand seeing others do well was none other than Chu Yan's classmate.
Although everyone knows about this exam.
It has nothing to do with them; they definitely won't pass the test as well as Zheng and Chu.
But people's hearts are unpredictable, and he was still a great Confucian scholar in the capital!
Who knows, maybe through this meeting, I'll become your disciple.
That's like rising to the top in one step!
As a result, several classmates with some talent also wanted this opportunity!
Some classmates, however, were clear-headed and simply worked hard on their own.
I study for ten hours a day, from morning till night.
Two classmates set their sights on Zheng and Chu.
Among them, the Chu Yan family is the easier one to target!
After all, the mess left by the Chu family could be easily cleaned up with a little manipulation!
