Chapter 55: Fame
Half a month later, when the results of the college entrance examination were announced by personnel sent by the county government, An Xin and her six students became the public enemy of the students from Lin'an County who were going to the provincial capital to take the examination.
Once again, all the staff were upgraded, and Wanhua Academy, which achieved a grand slam, became completely popular.
Their Lin'an County is a populous county, and if students' grades are good, there are up to twenty places for the annual college entrance examination.
However, this year, the cultural level of students in Lin'an County was obviously not good enough, and only thirteen people passed the college entrance examination.
Wanhua Academy occupies six places. The most surprising thing is that Li Ziyu still tops the list, becoming the first in the academy this year, a solid top three.
Leng Xiangbai still got good results in the exam. Although he ranked third this time, he was still an excellent student and could receive monthly food and subsidy money from the government in the future.
The other four places are also ranked in the upper middle range.
Who would have believed that those few good-for-nothings who were once looked down upon by everyone in the academy would seem to have had a golden go in the imperial examinations, making rapid progress and becoming people that their former classmates could not even look up to.
When An Xin learned that the second place went to Kong Xun, he clicked his tongue. The young boy was really well-educated.
Poor little Baibai, he was squeezed to third place.
During this period, the most discussed topic among scholars in Lin'an County was the results of this college examination.
An Xin also heard as a matter of course that Liu Mingjie also passed the examination and became a scholar this time, Zhao Kui was admitted as an attached student, and Wang Yaozong, the son of Wang Shanzhang, failed the exam.
Fu Sheng belongs to the third class among scholars, and his status is lower than that of the superior students on government stipends and the second class students on scholarship.
This made Zhao Kui, who was always arrogant, angrily smash the study at home.
Mr. Zhao was also very upset at this time. He had never expected that the woman whose engagement he had broken off would be so knowledgeable and the students she taught would all be excellent.
If I had known that he would do so, I would never have let my son cancel this engagement. If he had married a daughter-in-law like this, there would be no need to worry about the smooth road to the imperial examination.
Bringing honor to the family is just around the corner.
But it's too late to say all this now.
Here, Principal Wang of Cangyun Academy sent the news back to Lin'an County that the six students taught by An Xin had passed the academy examination and become scholars.
He became a coward and never appeared in public places in the county, for fear that An Xin would find him and ask him to fulfill his bet.
Although An Xin did not want him to go to Cangyun Academy in the bet, he promised that if An Xin won, he would call her a female teacher.
In addition to the scholars he invited, there were also two juren. Which of these people was willing to call An Xin teacher?
But a scholar cannot go back on his word. He was the first to start this matter, and those people still hate him to death.
Shanchang Wang has been so worried lately that his hair has turned bald.
Who could have thought that a young girl could actually teach six good-for-nothings to become talented people.
*Wanhua Academy.
This period of time can really be described as crowded with cars and horses, bustling with people, and bustling with people.
Even the county magistrate came here to visit.
Several families were very happy and forced An Xin to attend the celebration banquets held by each family.
Uncle An and Aunt An also invited their relatives and friends to hold a celebration banquet for An Rui's passing the imperial examination. As An Xin is his cousin and teacher, it was of course her responsibility to attend.
Now, not only the students in the county, but also the families of students in the towns below, want their children to study in Wanhua Academy through their connections.
Wanhua Academy became famous in a short time.
Second Uncle An consulted with An Xin about whether or not to take this opportunity to recruit students and revive the former prosperity of Wanhua Academy.
An Xin stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then said to his excited Uncle An, "If we want to recruit students, we have to wait until early next year. The most urgent task now is to recruit teachers first.
Otherwise, if students are recruited but there are no good teachers to teach them, this illusory prosperity will not last long. "
An Xin's words were like a wake-up call. Uncle An, who had been praised wherever he went during this period, gradually calmed down.
After calming down, he asked An Xin, "A few teachers who left before want to come back to teach, and asked someone to ask if Wanhua Academy still wants them?"
An Xin frowned slightly, thinking that the departure of those teachers was also due to problems of Wanhua Academy itself.
There is no principle of hitting the whole boat with one stick.
So he said, "Second Uncle has been in the academy for so many years, he should have some understanding of those teachers who left. If there are teachers with good character and real talents, it is not impossible for them to come back to teach."
After the uncle and nephew discussed some future matters of the academy, Uncle An went to carry out the plan as agreed.
Although Second Uncle An lacks the courage to do things, his execution ability is still good. An Xin knows that she cannot stay in the academy for a long time, so she also intends to train Second Uncle An to manage the academy.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
During this period, An Xin also received many invitations from people in the literary circle of Lin'an County. He either went to participate in poetry and literary gatherings, or just sat there with a group of people to chat on Zhihu.
An Xin felt nothing but boredom about what these literati enjoyed doing.
So I sat in the study room with a few equally annoyed students, looking at each other. What I hated most was that I couldn't refuse such things every time.
An Xin, who was sitting behind the desk, discovered that the others were all worried about their recent social engagements, but Li Ziyu was the only one with a gloomy face.
So he made a rude joke: "What's wrong with you? Are you being forced to get married by that elder girl in your family again?"
Li Ziyu raised his eyes to glance at the gossipy and gloating woman, then turned his gaze to the chrysanthemums that were still blooming in the yard.
He sighed softly: "Boring."
Zhu Shijing tugged at the sleeve of An Xin, who was a little disappointed because he didn't hear the gossip, and said in a very low voice: "He was disgusted by someone."
This sentence ignited the gossipy hearts of several people in the room. An Rui and Liu Boxing quietly moved over and pricked up their ears silently.
Jiang Zhou, this sharp-tongued and arrogant man, moved closer to the people gathered together without anyone noticing.
"Tell us quickly," several heads pressed together, urging.
Zhu Shijing: "It's a long story."
"Long story short." Several people said in unison.
Under the pressure of the eyes of the Great Devil and several fellow apprentices, Zhu Shijing quickly recounted what Li Ziyu had encountered during this period, picking out what he could say.
Li Ziyu: "..." These people gossiped about him in front of him. Did they treat him as if he were dead?!
"Zhu Shijing, I seem to have heard that your aunt has discussed with your aunt and uncle about marrying her daughter to you. You are not a child anymore, do you want me to persuade your aunt to agree to this marriage?"
"No, cousin, I was wrong." Zhu Shijing seldom called Li Ziyu cousin in public, and he knew best that this cousin who grew up with him was not a human being at all when he became treacherous.
