Zhao Xiuyong didn't know why, but he was extremely unlucky this month. First, all the books on his desk disappeared during class. Then, he went to a brothel to listen to music and was caught by Master Lin and Uncle Gu.

The teacher called on people to ask questions in class. I was picked more and more frequently, and the questions I asked were more and more tricky.

No one knew what had happened to Ji Yu in the past month. Whenever the teacher asked a question that he couldn't answer, he would first sneer and then calmly give the answer. This made Zhao Xiuyong feel particularly frustrated this month.

Ji Yu was in his room at night, touching the hairpin he had spent a month polishing. He had specially polished a hollow auspicious cloud on the top of the wooden hairpin according to the most common modern style, which looked very beautiful.

Ji Yu thought that he would have another month off tomorrow, so he quickly picked up his pen and started writing.

"My dear, it's like seeing you in person. I miss you even more after not seeing you for a month. It rained today, and many of the pear blossoms in front of the school fell. The flowers fell under the pear tree, and I was sad. I sat under the moon, and I was worried. I was worried that a woman's youth would pass away, and I was worried that I would waste your youth."

After Ji Yu finished writing, he wrote down the poem, which he could not remember clearly, on the second page.

"The rain hits the pear blossoms and I close the door. I am wasting my youth. Who can I share this joyful experience with? I am in ecstasy under the flowers and under the moon. My eyebrows are furrowed with worry all day long. There are thousands of tear marks and tens of thousands of tear marks. I admire the clouds during the day and the stars at night. I miss you when I am awake and when I am asleep."

After finishing writing, Ji Yu patiently waited for the ink to dry before carefully folding it and putting it in an envelope together with the hairpin.

The second day of lecture.

Master Lin said, "Dear students, Xiao Yu gave me a suggestion a few days ago. He said that we should set up a special tutoring class for the candidates who will take the examination next year."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was excited, especially Zhao Xiuyong, who was worried about being separated from He Daqian and Wen Lixiang, and also worried that he would not be able to enter the tutoring class.

"We have only reserved ten places for the time being. They are specifically for next year's imperial examination. So we propose to select people based on the time and ranking of their success in the examination." Master Lin continued.

When Master Lin heard this proposal, he was also very conflicted, mainly because the class was already full of successful candidates. If he selected ten more students to set up a special class, he was afraid that other students would have objections.

But Ji Yu also said that if some students are born bad at learning, they also like to lead others astray! He Daqian and Li Wenxiang are good examples. They both passed the 100th place and now have nothing to do every day. They also disturb other students in class.

After hearing Ji Yu's explanation, Master Lin also felt that it made sense, so he agreed without hesitation.

After hearing what Master Lin said, Zhao Xiuyong became even more nervous, because compared to Ji Yu, who had won the first place in the imperial examination three years ago, he, a student who had just been a juren for just one year, had no competitiveness at all.

"Then I will start reading out the names. When the school starts next month, the name you read out will go directly to Lecture Hall A1." Master Lin continued, "Ji Yu... Lin Yunxiao......"

Seeing that the teacher had already read out nine names and his name was not yet his, Zhao Xiuyong began to panic.

"It's really hard for me to decide for the last person. After all, Shen Wenyu and Zhao Xiuyong are of similar age, and they passed the imperial examination in the same year. They both ranked in the top 20." Master Lin said with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiuyong stood up immediately and said, "Master, when the results were announced last year, I was clearly ranked 19th, and Shen Wenyu was only 20th. According to the theory, the last spot should be mine."

Lin Yunxiao stood up and said, "You are kidding. Although you passed the imperial examination in the same year, you were already seventeen last year, while Brother Shen is only sixteen."

Before Ji Yu came to the dormitory, Lin Yunxiao had been living with Shen Wenyu, and the two had a deep friendship, so of course he had to speak for Shen Wenyu. Shen Wenyu was a taciturn person, and if he were to explain himself, he would not be able to utter a few words for a long time.

Hearing the argument between the two, Master Lin was also very embarrassed. He had just gone to the brothel and caught Zhao Xiuyong this month, so he was very suspicious of Zhao Xiuyong's character. Otherwise, he would not have been struggling with this quota for so long.

"Xiao Yu, since you were the one who brought up this matter, what do you think?" Master Lin threw the difficult problem to Ji Yu. This kid has a flexible mind and will definitely be able to come up with a good solution.

Lin Yunxiao, Shen Wenyu, and Zhao Xiuyong all looked at Ji Yu.

Lin Yunxiao even felt that his father leaving the choice to Ji Yu was equivalent to tacitly choosing Shen Wenyu.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Ji Yu had been bullying Zhao Xiuyong in class, intentionally or unintentionally, during this month.

Zhao Xiuyong was also feeling nervous and uneasy! He could also see that Ji Yu seemed to be targeting him.

"I do have a good idea." Ji Yu thought about it and nodded quickly.

"Xiao Yu, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly!" When Master Lin heard that he had another good idea, he immediately smiled.

"Then take both of them in." Ji Yu said.

Master Lin had thought about this problem before, but the number of people had already been decided on ten.

But the classroom is so small that it can only accommodate ten desks. What if there is one more person?

"But the lecture hall is only this big and there are not enough desks." Master Lin explained awkwardly.

"That's even simpler. The eleventh place student will stand to attend the class. There will be an assessment every month, and the eleventh place student will be selected to stand to attend the class. This will also arouse everyone's sense of competition." Ji Yu continued.

After listening to this, Master Lin nodded in approval. This is indeed a good idea. On the one hand, it can improve everyone's learning, and on the other hand, it can make everyone feel a sense of urgency!

Master Lin then asked, "Who will stand and listen to the class in the first week?"

Ji Yu bowed to Shen Wenyu and said, "Then I'm sorry to trouble Senior Brother Shen to bear with the injustice. After all, Brother Shen's ranking is indeed slightly lower than Senior Brother Zhao's."

Shen Wenyu also nodded hesitantly. As long as he could go in and study, he didn't care whether he stood or sat. He quickly bowed in return and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Ji. Although Junior Brother Ji is young, he is indeed quick-witted."

Zhao Xiuyong was finally relieved after hearing what they said. Zhao Xiuyong thought: It seems that I was narrow-minded when I thought Ji Yu was targeting me in class intentionally or unintentionally. Junior Brother Ji is obviously a fair and selfless good person! !

Zhao Xiuyong also bowed and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Ji, for your fair judgment."

After a while, it was time to go home from school.

Today, Zhao Xiuyong came to find Ji Yu specially, saying that he wanted to go together. "Junior brother Ji, let's go together. It just so happens that the Gu Mansion and the Lu Mansion are on the same way."

After Ji Yu packed up his things, he carried his box of books on his back and waved his hand, "My brother-in-law is here to pick me up today, so I won't bother Senior Brother Zhao anymore."

Zhao Xiuyong didn't care after hearing this and turned around and walked out.
