The next day, when the school was over, Chen Cui went to the school in person to pick up a group of people as agreed.

Mu Erpang was the first batch to come out, and Mei Ruochu and his team also stayed there for a while to guide the freshmen. Many people did not have the chance to be guided by Mei Ruochu and his team before, and they felt that they were qualified to enter the provincial school and their abilities were no worse than others. However, the professor sent back the articles they submitted for rewriting because they were not satisfied with them. They were so worried that they did not know what to do, so they had to ask for advice during the after-class time.

The mother and son bumped into each other, and Mu Erpang said again: "Today is the same as yesterday. Shen Aoshuang was called away by the professor before school was over, so we may have to wait for a while."

Chen Cui nodded, "We have to wait for Ashu and Ruochu anyway, and the weather is not hot, so we can just stand there for a while."

About a quarter of an hour later, the number of people at the gate of the prefectural school gradually decreased, and Chen Aoshuang came out before Mei Ruochu and the others.

Just like before, he walked leisurely past Mu Erpang and Chen Cui without even glancing at them.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Mu Erpang said, "Brother Shen, please stay."

A flash of surprise flashed across Shen Aoshuang's face, but it was gone in an instant. He said calmly, "Brother Mu is here. I was thinking about something just now and was a little absent-minded. I didn't see you. Sorry."

Mu Erpang thought with a bit of amusement that it was not the first or second time that you hadn't seen me, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he said, "My mother just happened to come to pick me up, and I wanted to thank you in person."

Chen Aoshuang waved her hands quickly, "It's really just a small favor, aunt, you don't have to be so polite."

While they were talking, Shen Cui had already added him as a training target in the system.

Shen Aoshuang's various data were right in front of him. It had to be said that he had scored on par with Mu Erpang, who had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, twice. He was excellent in all aspects, except that his luck value was a little lower, and he just passed the passing line.

But this is not a big problem. As long as you don't fall below the passing line and are not bound by the rules like Mei Ruochu, nothing will happen.

Shen Cui took a quick glance and immediately went to check his physique.

The first thing that caught my eye was the physical fitness value of 70, but the status behind it was - (Tiancan: Five Senses Disorder)!

"Tiancan" means born with disability. Chen Cui didn't expect this result. She asked the system in her mind: [What is five sense disorder? 】

The system immediately gave an explanation: [The five senses are sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, which are commonly referred to as vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. For this temporary training subject, the better of the five senses is only half of that of an average person, and the worse one is even only one-fifth of that of an average person. But he is in good health. Even in this condition, his physical fitness is still 70. 】

The system sensed Chen Cui's emotional fluctuations, so it added that sentence at the end.

But Shen Cui was not amused by him. She just said reluctantly: "You mean his senses are only half of those of ordinary people? So his vision is about half blind?"

The system says yes.

Shen Cui then asked: [Let’s not talk about anything else for now. How did this half-blind person manage to pass the exam? 】

[Half-blind!] It's not like he's completely blind. For example, a normal person can see clearly when reading a book 30-40cm away. He just needs to hold the book or paper closer, about 10cm or 5cm away from his eyes! The imperial examination examination halls were all closed, and the invigilators would not care what posture the examiner used to write the questions. 】

【Then the others have never noticed...】

[That's because this temporary trainee has great 'acting skills'. The host and trainee No. 1 are both very observant. After having had contact with him a few times, didn't they at most suspect that he was nearsighted? That's what others think at most. And the host should also know about "intuition", right? The system did not list this as a qualification, so the 'intuition' of this temporary training subject was very accurate. 】

So it’s no wonder that Chen Aoshuang would rather others misunderstand him than explain anything.

Ordinary myopia certainly does not need to be hidden, but things like disability must never be told to outsiders.

Because the imperial examination nowadays also pays attention to "body, speech, writing and judgment". The "body" item usually examines the student's figure and appearance, but it also examines whether he suffers from any serious illness.

Why would the imperial court grant an official position to a disabled person?

Shen Cui couldn't help but sigh. With such a disability, Shen Aoshuang was able to learn to this level. How many times more effort must she have put in than an ordinary person?

Moreover, how much psychological pressure would it be to carry such a huge secret?

She was still thinking this, and after Chen Aoshuang exchanged a few words with Mu Erpang, she said that she had something to do at home and left immediately.

Apparently, he had also done the same in the past, deliberately keeping a distance from others and carefully hiding his secrets.

Not long after he left, Mei Ruochu and the others also came out.

The group naturally returned to Cuiwei.

Seeing that Shen Cui seemed to be thinking about something, Mu Erpang found an opportunity to talk to her alone after returning and asked, "Did mother see through it?"

Shen Cui did not answer his question, but asked him: "Why do you trust me so much? I'm not a doctor."

"Why am I thinking about that? Anyway, I know that mother can do what others cannot. Please tell me quickly, mother, I really want to know."

Shen Cui told him the system's judgment.

The smile on Mu Erpang's face slowly faded, and he said sadly, "So he entered the prefectural school but didn't come to the classroom, and ignored us when we greeted him, all because he is half blind? And that day at the archery range, everyone was shooting arrows together, and the noise was actually quite loud, but he couldn't see or hear clearly, so he walked around like that... Then he couldn't ask someone, or even have someone take him there?"

Chen Cui didn't need to answer this question, Mu Erpang quickly continued: "Yes, if he encounters difficulties, he will ask for help. He can't keep any secrets. I think he has been used to it for many years. Alas, his vision and hearing are already damaged. His sense of smell and taste are also... Doesn't that mean he can't even have a real meal?"

Shen Cui nodded, and then saw Mu Erpang squatting beside her like he did when he was a child, holding his chin with both hands and blinking at her.

She slapped his forehead in amusement and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking so weird?"

Mu Erpang touched his forehead and said with a smile: "Mom should be able to help him, right?"

Shen Cui had indeed been looking at the medicines in the system, but Shen Aoshuang's condition was not considered a disease in the system, but a disability, so she didn't find anything suitable in the medicine classification for a while.

She continued to search for it at the same time, and asked, "You should think about it carefully. If he can recover, there is a high possibility that he will not be inferior to you again."

Mu Erpang smiled indifferently and said, "What's the point of being the only one to stand out? Making progress together is the real win-win situation! Besides, where is there a lack of excellent people in our academy? If I only think about comparing myself with others and can't stand people who are better than me, how can I live? Besides, didn't I write 'Forgive others as you restrain yourself' in my previous article? Later, I thought about that article over and over again, and it actually matches the saying of Buddhism - 'Saving others is like saving yourself, saving yourself is also saving others'."

Chen Cui had said these words to the system before, and this time she specifically asked Mu Erpang to say them himself so that the system would know how wrong he was in thinking before.

The system also discovered Shen Cui's intention and took the initiative to say: [Host can upgrade the academy first, add one more student quota, let him become a training object, block the "settings" given to him by this plane, and let him recover slowly. During this period, I will adjust the mall and put things suitable for him on the shelves. 】

To upgrade the academy, 4,000 shopping points are required.

This is not a difficult task. Mu Erpang has even saved the shopping points he earned from the small and medium-sized three yuan and Chen Cui has not spent them yet.

And because she complained that the [Library] given in the provincial examination was not practical in the short term, after the college examination, the system gave her an option to choose one of two.

Option one is a physical [Meditation Room], which allows students who are depressed or have a weak desire to learn to meditate in it, so that they can regain their original intentions and strengthen their resolve. Option two is to give an additional 3,000 shopping points.

The former is something Cuiwei does not need now - there are several young men in the academy, each one is more diligent and studious than the other. Even Cui Fei has been led by them to work much harder than before after entering the academy.

I didn't choose Shen Cui, so there are enough shopping spots.

And in fact, before this, Shen Cuiben also wanted to upgrade the academy when she had more money.

Firstly, the daily rewards would be greater, and secondly, after the [Marrow Cleansing Pill] incident, she realized that other people in the academy had not completely gotten rid of the plane rules. After the academy is upgraded, it will be able to shield those rules and settings more effectively.

Like when Mei Ruochu first came to the academy, because of his bad luck, he would have bad luck from time to time.

After Cui Fei joined, Shen Cui upgraded the academy once. Mei Ruochu accidentally lost some luck outside, and Shen Cui had not had time to make up for it for him, so he would not be affected in the academy.

Shen Cui confirmed with the system at that time, and it was indeed the result of the academy's upgrade. So I had this idea in mind a long time ago.

But problems followed one after another. The other students who enrolled before were the ones who had the initiative to enroll first, and Chen Cui just needed to go with the flow. However, Chen Aoshuang was so wary of others, how could he be convinced to come to Cuiwei?

You can't let Mu Erpang come up and say that he knows the secret that he has been hiding for more than ten years and that he has a way to cure him!

So Shen Cui said helplessly: "Fatty, you really gave mother a difficult problem."

However, they did not worry about this matter for long, as the opportunity soon came.

…………

In the provincial school, after a few days of regular courses, the scholars had their secondary courses on the last day before the holiday.

Minor subjects are equivalent to elective courses in later universities. Students can freely go to the Six Arts Garden to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, or they can go to archery ranges, Cuju fields and other places for free activities.

Mei Ruochu, Wei Xi and Cui Fei all liked quietness, so they went to the Six Arts Garden.

Wei Shu and Mu Erpang are both very active. Mu Erpang was planning to practice archery, but Wei Shu told him there were other fun things to do!

Mu Erpang followed him with bright eyes, only then did he realize that there was a polo field in the provincial school!

He had seen that place when he first arrived, but unlike the archery range and the Cuju field which had easily identifiable facilities, the polo field was wide and the goal was very small. From a distance he thought it was just an ordinary open space.

Today, when Wei Shu led me closer, I found that the field was surrounded by fences with the words "Polo field restricted area, do not cross" written on them.

Unfortunately, although the provincial school has a venue, it does not have horses, so the horses have to be brought in from outside.

Nowadays, there are not many families who can afford to raise horses, and even fewer scholars who are wealthy and like to ride horses.

So this place is usually empty.

Earlier, when Cuiwei moved to the three-story house in the city, Wei Shu saw that there was a stable in the house and said he wanted to get some horses from home.

Later he really got it, but the space in the house was limited. Mu Erpang only learned a little from him in his spare time and had never run in such an open space.

Wei Shu had already found a way to get a horse from the academy, and gave some silver to the monks in the prefectural school to take care of the horse temporarily.

He helped Mu Erpang onto the horse. Seeing that he knew how to get on the horse from the back, and knew how to stand straight, squeeze the horse's belly, and hold the saddle with his hands, he knew that he had learned well. So he didn't say much, but personally held the reins and took him around the field a few times.

The horse had been raised by the Wei family since childhood and was very docile and intelligent, so after a few laps, Wei Shu felt relieved to loosen the reins and let him ride by himself.

Mu Erpang took the reins himself with great enthusiasm, squeezed the horse's belly lightly, and shook the reins. The horse under him immediately changed from pacing to trotting.

After running several laps in the field in one breath, Mu Erpang drove the horse faster.

Just when he was about to stop and rest, a person suddenly walked out from the side.

Fortunately, he was a beginner and was not riding the horse very fast, so he immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

The horse raised its front hooves slightly, and after kicking a few times, it stabilized its body.

Wei Shu rushed over immediately. Seeing that the person who stopped in front of the horse was Chen Aoshuang again, he really got a little more angry: "Brother Chen, what's wrong? You walked around the archery range before, and at most you hurt yourself! You walked across the polo field, which can be said to be hurting others and yourself!"

If this happened to him, Wei Shu might not be angry.

But Mu Erpang was a beginner. If he had been distracted or reacted slowly just now, he would have probably fallen off his horse because of trying to avoid Chen Aoshuang!

"Brother Wei, don't be angry. I'm fine, aren't I?" Mu Erpang dismounted and came over with a smile. "I've ridden enough, so it's a good time to stop and take a rest. You can ride for a while and take a walk."

Mu Erpang handed the reins to Wei Shu, who still had some anger on his face, and took it. Seeing Mu Erpang winking at him, he glanced at Shen Aoshuang again, led the horse to the other side, and let them talk.

"I..." Chen Aoshuang was too ashamed to raise her eyes. After a long pause, she said, "I'm really sorry. I specifically asked people for a place that no one usually comes to. They pointed me in a general direction, and I..."

Mu Erpang scratched his head and said it was okay.

Wei Shu was far away and couldn't see clearly just now, so he was so anxious and angry.

But in fact, Shen Aoshuang walks slower than ordinary people on a daily basis. When he approached, Mu Erpang had already discovered him, so the situation was not dangerous.

If someone had almost encountered an accident because of him, Mu Erpang would not have been so calm.

"Brother Wei was worried about me just now, so he spoke more seriously."

Chen Aoshuang immediately shook her head, "He's right, it's my fault. No matter what I say, it's not excessive."

After a long pause, Chen Aoshuang's normally straight back slumped a little, "Brother Mu can get three consecutive small and medium-sized top prizes, he must be a very talented person. After several contacts, I think you have guessed some of it..."

Mu Erpang pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that this man was indeed smart. No wonder he felt a sense of mutual admiration for him and wanted to lend a helping hand to him.

Then he continued, "I know. I will...I will go and explain the situation to the professor today and immediately withdraw from the provincial school."

Mu Erpang: ...

This development was different from what he had expected!
