Chapter 640 Shift Change
Mi Xin Tang is not far from the provincial school. There are also two restaurants here, and their main customers are students from the provincial school and nearby academies.
So when school is over, there are a lot of people in the restaurant and Mi Xin Tang.
Bai Shan and his classmates can only go out after school and are not allowed to leave the school at noon.
He walked out of the prefecture school quickly with the book basket in his hand. After finding his carriage in a familiar location, he trotted forward, handed the book basket to Daji, and asked, "Have Manbao and the others arrived?"
Daji said, "Miss Man and Master Tang went to Mixintang."
Bai Shan was a little unhappy, "Why didn't they wait for me?"
"Master Tang said there would be a lot of people after school, so they went to queue up for you first to avoid waiting too long and not being able to buy ice cream.
The sun was still very strong and the weather was very hot. Students from the provincial school and several nearby academies loved to buy snacks at Mi Xin Tang.
Although ice cream is expensive, it is scarce, so it is not easy to buy it and you have to wait in a long line.
Although those students couldn't get out, they had servants.
When Manbao and the others went to line up, there were already seven or eight servants lined up in front of them.
When Bai Shanbao ran over, there were only three people ahead.
Manbao was excited when he saw him and asked, "Which one do you want? I just asked. Today we have three kinds of cheese ice cream. One has red beans, one has mung beans, and the other has almonds."
Bai Shan ran so fast that his face turned red. He took a breath and said, "I want the mung bean one."
Bai Jilang: "I want to try the almond one."
Manbao nodded to show that he understood.
It took a while before it was their turn, so Manbao ordered all three dishes. Then everyone took their bowls and found a seat in the store.
Manbao asked Baishan, "Have you announced the results yet?"
Bai Shan nodded, raised his chin slightly and said, "I let it go. I ranked 60th on the exam."
Bai Erlang and Manbao exclaimed in amazement, and asked quickly, "Which place is that?"
Bai Shan coughed lightly, paused for a moment, and then said with slightly red ears: "It's sixty."
Manbao & Baijilang: ...
Bai Erlang wanted to laugh, but Manbao reluctantly encouraged him, saying, "Not bad."
Bai Shan snorted, "Just wait and see, next time I might be able to get into the top three."
Bai Erlang didn't believe it, but Manbao thought about it and said seriously: "You can do it, you must be able to do it."
Bai Shan gave her a strange look, "Do you trust me so much?"
Manbao said, "I'm as smart as you. If you can make it into the top three, then I can do it too. I also want to know how good I am."
Bai Shan: "I'm smarter than you."
Bai Erlang couldn't stand the two of them, "You two are so narcissistic. There are three A-class students in the prefectural school. They are so much older than you. How could they possibly let you get into the top three?"
Manbao thought it made sense and said to Baishan, "They are so much older than us, so it's only natural that we didn't do well in the exam. If we can do better than them..."
The two looked at each other and laughed together.
Bai Erlang blinked and actually felt that what Manbao said made sense.
The scholar who was eating ice cream nearby couldn't help but turn around to look at their table. After seeing Bai Shanhou, he slowly turned back and shook his head slightly at his two classmates.
The three of them ate the ice cream from Mi Xin Tang and stood up contentedly. "The teacher will be checking the endorsements tonight. Let's take the books and go to the river to read. It's cool there now."
Bai Shan: "Are there any mosquitoes?"
"No," Bai Erlang said affirmatively, "I've been there before, and the mosquitoes don't come out until later."
Manbao snorted, "That's because the mosquitoes are biting me. This time I got some medicine powder from the pharmacy and brought it with me. I want to see whether it bites me or you."
After they walked away, the person sitting at the table behind them asked, "Song Zheng, is that the new classmate in your class?"
Song Zheng nodded, "Mr. Jin has already said that he will move to our Class A3 tomorrow."
"How arrogant! You're only ranked 60th and you're already thinking of getting into the top three."
Song Zheng smiled and said, "In the entrance exam three months ago, he ranked 150th."
The person opposite paused and asked in surprise, "Such a big improvement?"
The scholar sitting on the other side also said, "I've seen his entrance exam paper. Actually, if you ignore his frivolity, he could have been ranked in the top 100 with that score."
"He doesn't look very old."
Song Zheng smiled faintly and said, "I heard that he is only twelve years old."
The critically attacked scholar: ...
After a while, the two sighed and said, "This is the true recklessness of youth."
Song Zheng nodded. "It's precisely because he's young that he can be forgiven. Mr. Zhai went out of his way to make a bet with him and transferred him to Class A. He obviously thinks he's teachable."
"That's it. I'm afraid he will have to take your place with Mr. Zhai."
Song Zheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "Everyone is the same to the master."
No way!
Just as Bai Shan and Man Bao were leaving Mi Xin Hall, a carriage stopped in front of him. The curtains were drawn aside, and Mr. Zhai, with a white beard, poked his head out to look at him. "Bai Shan, you're running too fast! I was heading for your dormitory before school ended, but you disappeared as soon as the bell rang."
And no matter how much she called out, she never stopped, which made Mr. Zhai very tired.
"I'm telling you, come a quarter of an hour early tomorrow and I'll take you to the supervisor to go over the paperwork. Then you can move directly to our Class A3."
Bai Shan asked, "Have you told the Hexue official?"
Mr. Zhai smiled and said, "The dean has agreed to this."
So what does it matter whether you agree with the academic officer or not?
Bai Shan raised the corner of his mouth to show that he understood.
Before the second year, Bai Shan jumped directly from Class C1 to Class A3, shocking everyone in the school.
This is not a precedent, but it is rare for someone to jump so many levels in such a short period of time, and every time someone appears, that person is always a brilliant talent.
Because although the provincial school recognizes the powerful and wealthy, it values talent and learning even more.
Only talent could convince the supervisor to allow a student to skip so many grades as an exception.
But the most shocked were the students in Class C1, especially those who had targeted and insisted on isolating Bai Shan.
Wei Chen was a boarding student, but he still sneaked out of the provincial school and ran to Bai Shan's house to stay overnight. He happened to block three people who were taking their books to the riverside to recite them.
So the threesome became a foursome.
After crossing the main street, walking down a small alley and turning a corner, they found a secluded place by the river where few people came.
The three people who said they wanted to memorize the books put their books on their stomachs, found a patch of grass by the river and sat down. They asked Wei Chen, "How did you get out of the prefectural school?"
Manbao was very confused about this. "Didn't they say that the management of your prefectural school is getting stricter and stricter now? Unless you have a wooden sign that says you're a non-resident, you can't go out?"
"That's easy. Find a classmate who lives away from home and have him report that his wooden badge has been lost. He can get a new one and give it to me. As long as they don't check me in and out too carefully, I'll be able to get out quickly." He added, "If that doesn't work, you can always climb over the wall."
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
