Chapter 16 The orphan girl eats your rice
Shanzhang Wang was bombarded in turns by Li Ziyu and his six companions. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood due to internal injuries. In the end, he was helped out by the people he brought with him.
Who would have thought that among the last students left in Wanhua Academy, there were a few with extraordinary identities. Even if Wang Renjie was angry for a while, he couldn't do anything to them.
He could only hold his stuffy chest and vent his anger: "You are a bunch of losers. As long as you fail the imperial examination, I wonder how long you can still boast."
"That's right, Shanzhang." He Weizhi flattered, "I knew those guys when I was teaching at the academy. During class, they were either distracted and looking out the window, or someone was sleeping."
"What's even more ridiculous is that Zhu Shijing would even look at the account book in class. None of those six students likes to study. They are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. There's nothing to be afraid of."
The other two gentlemen who followed him turned their heads away, disdainfully looking at He Weizhi's flattering appearance, thinking that he had lost the integrity of a scholar.
Wang Renjie was comforted by what He Weizhi said, and his expression softened significantly, "Humph, an orphan girl like her can't do anything tricky.
When An Yuanrong was alive, he always outclassed Cangyun Academy. Now they can't recruit students, I wonder how long an orphan like him can keep Wanhua Academy going.
When the academy can no longer sustain itself and asks me, Wang, to buy it, I will be the one to control it."
If An Xin knew what Shanzhang Wang was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he was ugly but had beautiful thoughts, but he was just daydreaming.
What's wrong with the orphan girl? The orphan girl is eating your family's rice.
I am an orphan and I am proud.
Here, Director Wang and his gang were so shocked that they began to doubt their lives and left in a hurry.
An Xin stared at the little fat boy with shining eyes, which made Liu Boxing's face turn red, and he almost buried his head in shyness.
Who would have thought that this little fat boy with the potential to be a chatterbox had a grandfather who was a third-rank general of Huaihua.
Because her son died in the war, her daughter-in-law also died of dystocia after learning about it. In grief, she resigned from her official position and returned to her hometown with her only grandson, living in seclusion in the county town.
An Xin turned his gaze towards Zhu Shijing.
He quickly covered his purse and glared at An Xin, guarding against her as if she were a bandit.
The corner of An Xin's mouth twitched. This miser, nothing is more important than his money.
She looked at Leng Xiangbai again. The little sheep smiled at her harmlessly and blurted out a few words, "Farmer's kid, I won't change."
An Xin raised his eyebrows and I didn't ask anything.
He turned around and pretended to glance at the man with expressionless face sitting by the window.
In the end, the man with the world-weary face ignored her and turned his head to the window, still looking bored and ready to commit suicide at any time.
Jiang Zhou, An Xin already knew that he was the nephew of the chief clerk of the county government, so he was no longer curious about him and had no interest in looking at him any more.
This made the arrogant kid feel depressed and angry, and he wanted to say something sarcastic.
"Cousin, please look at me too. I am also a person of status."
"Ouch!" An Rui covered the place on his head where he was hit and looked at the person who attacked him with grievance.
"I know that you are the only and most distinguished child of our An family." An Xin glanced at him sideways and said insincerely.
An Xin looked at the six people who didn't want to go back to the teaching dormitory to study, and raised his eyebrows, "During this period of time, you have almost learned the Analects.
Next, we will start to explain the "Doctrine of the Mean" in the Four Books.
You guys review it first, and I’ll explain it to you starting tomorrow.”
After saying that, An Xin didn't care whether they were in the yard or not, and went back to the teaching building to read. He turned and walked towards the office of the academy teacher.
Jiang Zhou: "The big devil is leaving now."
Zhu Shijing curled his lips, "Do you want her to stare at you while you read?!"
"Forget it. I don't have the tendency to seek abuse."
Leng Xiangbai, who was always frugal with words, took out a copy of Zhongyong and flipped through it, and asked casually, "Even if she's not here now, would you dare to sleep like before?"
Jiang Zhou looked at the palm of his hand and shook his head.
During this period, except for the Dead Face and the Little Lamb, the others have more or less experienced the power of the Great Devil's ruler.
Jiang Zhou looked at An Rui and Liu Boxing standing beside him.
What made him most indignant was that these two guys, who used to be dumber than him, were better at memorizing than him during this period.
As a result, he was beaten the most times among the few people.
If everyone wasn't reciting the same thing, he would have suspected that the big devil was deliberately targeting him.
Jiang Zhou looked at the other five people and asked the question he had been wanting to ask for so many days: "You tell me, we don't plan to take the imperial examination, so why should we listen to the devil and study the Four Books and Five Classics every day?"
After hearing what Jiang Zhou said, everyone fell into deep thought.
Only Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai looked at each other with ambiguous eyes and then quickly separated. No one knew what they were thinking except themselves.
Zhu Shijing's eyes flickered, and his slender white fingers touched the golden abacus he carried with him.
He had little interest in the imperial examinations, but was very interested in managing finances.

His father promised him that if he studied until he turned 18, he would give him the management of the family property. He would reach the age of majority next year.
Zhu Shijing has his own principles in life. Since he had promised his father, he would stay in the academy until he was eighteen years old.
This is also the reason why he chose to stay in Wanhua Academy.
It doesn't matter where he stays. He's not going to take the imperial examination anyway, so why bother?
An Rui and Liu Boxing, these two idiots, were not suitable for studying because their brains were not clear enough.
Neither of them had ever thought about this question.
Now that Jiang Zhou asked him about it, he only thought about it for a moment and gave up decisively.
We’ll talk about the future later. It’s really tiring to think so much now.
Jiang Zhou saw that everyone looked indifferent, so he touched his nose and walked towards the teaching building in boredom. He didn't want to be slapped on the hand by the big devil again.
It's so embarrassing.
When An Xin walked in, he saw Second Uncle An holding a few entrance examination papers and sighing, "Why, Second Uncle is not satisfied with the students we recruited?"
Uncle An gave a bitter smile, which showed more than just dissatisfaction.
Thinking about the previous years when the enrollment information of Wanhua Academy was released, countless outstanding students came to sign up for the entrance examination.
But the nineteen people today can only be said to know how to read and write.
However, Uncle An still selected eight of the tallest ones among the short ones, and kept the ones who were acceptable.
An Xin walked to the table, picked up the entrance examination paper, took a look, and consoled him, "Second Uncle, the ones selected are good, let's not talk about how they did in the exam.
Just based on this neat calligraphy, it is better than the ones I taught you."
Uncle An: Thank you! I feel comforted.
Compared with the enrollment in previous years, there is a psychological gap, but Uncle An is not a person who takes it too seriously. He can only accept the fact that Wanhua Academy is in decline. What else can he do?
An Xin saw that Second Uncle An's brows relaxed, so she stopped disturbing him and let him quietly deal with the follow-up matters of this enrollment.
She took Mingyue on the carriage driven by Dazhuang and went to the pawnshop in the county town to buy two more women. In the future, when there were more students, the canteen would need to be opened again.
As a result, as soon as An Xin got to the street and wanted to go downstairs for a walk, he was stopped by someone.
