He was only concerned with sharing his recent gains with Meng Junran, and he also praised some of Yang Jiu's insights, which could give people a sense of enlightenment and sudden clarity. Even the teacher would sometimes give him a special compliment.
After the academy's year-end exam, Yang Jiu, Zhang Shuhe, Meng Junran and other students who performed well in academics were naturally promoted to Class B.
Xu's father was both proud and regretful. He used to worry that his daughter could not read or write, but now she has suddenly become smart and is more than a hundred times smarter than Dalang when he was a child.
If the little girl was a son, then his Xu family would probably be able to reach a higher level.
While drinking a little wine, I felt very happy and secretly reminded myself not to get carried away.
But in her heart, she was thinking that she had to choose her daughter's marriage carefully and absolutely could not marry her off to a useless boy.
When the academy opened the following year, a new transfer student joined Class B.
Yes, this is really a backdoor. New students can go directly to Class C. Unless a student has already gained a reputation for talent among scholars, he or she must follow the rules of the academy and be promoted to a higher class based on his or her ability.
But the new student Baili Xia was able to enter Class B directly by relying on his family's influence.
The reason he came to study at Xiangshan Academy was not to become an official, but for a person, a woman, Meng Junran.
Both families wanted to bring the two together. Baili Xia had accidentally heard the poems written by Meng Junran and was deeply impressed by the literary talent.
He had no objection to the marriage between the two families. In order to further cultivate their relationship, he secretly inquired and found out that Meng Junran was actually studying at Xiangshan Academy disguised as a man.
I never thought her behavior was too eccentric. Instead, I admired her for being as capable as any man.
But when he found out that she was living with a man, he could no longer contain his anger and wanted to kill the man to vent his anger.
At the same time, he also hated himself for not being as lucky as Zhang Shuhe, who could live in the same room and sleep in the same room with Meng Junran.
With such thoughts in mind, he entered Class B.
He just thought that many of his classmates should be children from wealthy families who were seeking to gain experience, but when he entered Class B, he realized that no matter what your family background was, here there was only one word: "volume".
They have to roll even if they can't, and sometimes they even forget why they roll like that.
Even if they dreamt in the middle of the night that they didn't need to be like Zhang Shuhe, a poor kid who had only the path of studying to follow, as soon as they stepped into the gate of Class B, they would unconsciously want to study, want to make progress, want to make a name for themselves, want to serve the country...
In short, I have no choice.
It’s not that there weren’t some students who felt weird and wanted to escape. At first they could still stay in the dormitory, but later on, for some reason, as long as they stayed in the dormitory, they would feel uncontrollable panic in their hearts. They had a sense of oppression that they would die if they didn’t study, and they couldn’t control themselves to put down the books at all.
It was too unbelievable. I wanted to find my elders at home and my teachers at the academy to cry about it.
But my child is so motivated, I can only praise and reward him all the time. There is no way there is any unreasonable reason!
It's impossible. You just want to be lazy. There's no need to find other reasons. As parents, how could we just listen to your one-sided story and wish you could work hard all day long?
In this strong atmosphere of the King of Rolls, Zhang Shuhe did not have the kind of feelings for Meng Junran that transcended gender that he had in his previous life. After all, every classmate in the class was now at a level that could be considered a close friend, so Meng Junran had the advantage of being a roommate.
Baili Xia met all the outstanding students in Class B. Zhang Shuhe was a person who was devoted to studying. He treated Meng Junran the same as other classmates.
He knew that Zhang Shuhe and Meng Junran had been living in the same room for half a year and had not yet discovered the other's identity as a woman disguised as a man. He also privately asked Zhang Shuhe about it. The two lived in the same room, but were very polite to each other.
He had contacted Meng Junran privately. It was obvious that Meng Junran knew his identity. He guessed that the elders in his family should have said that the two families were negotiating a marriage contract.
But Meng Junran always politely refused and kept his distance, for some reason.
Is this a favorite or not?
He also had to pass on a message home to ask the Meng family's opinion, especially to point out the Meng family's daughter's opinion on the marriage agreement between the two families.
In this environment of arranged marriages, it was unheard of that Baili Xia actually wanted to ask the woman's opinion.
Although he himself is not talented, he has been impressed by Meng Junran's talent earlier. Now that he has seen the real person, he knows that Meng Junran is a real talent. Among the men in Class B, she is not weak, which shows her ability.
My only wish is to marry a beautiful woman who shares my feelings and live with her for the rest of my life.
While Baili Xia was intentionally or unintentionally trying to make her presence felt in front of Meng Junran, Zhang Shuhe accidentally discovered the secret that Meng Junran was disguised as a man.
It was unbelievable that he took leave and did not go to school for those two days.
When he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be able to find many clues, and he wanted to slap himself a few times. How could he have turned a blind eye to those obvious flaws before and made such a big mistake!
Jun Ran always drew the curtains when he slept, and never undressed in front of him. He never went to the bathhouse to take a bath, but had to fetch water back to the building and wait until he was in bed before taking a bath...
Even so, men and women should not touch each other!
He didn't know that Jun Ran was a woman before, so he never avoided being shy in front of her, especially when the two of them were chatting excitedly, physical contact was inevitable.
Now, he had no choice but to marry Meng Junran. Otherwise, if his confidant, whom he was so proud of, was exposed one day, he would no longer be tolerated by the world and would only die. He might even bear the infamy after his death and bring trouble to his sisters.
Although Zhang Shuhe came from a poor family, his basic etiquette and upbringing did not allow him to become an irresponsible man.
He asked for leave from the academy, went home to ask his mother for permission, and wanted to go to the Meng family to propose marriage.
Of course, Meng Junran didn't know all this. She just thought that Zhang Shuhe had discovered her secret and was embarrassed to stay in the same room with her, so he hurried home.
But she had no choice. Her family was discussing her marriage. If she didn't take action, her father would arrange a marriage for her. The men of the Baili family had already come to Xiangshan Academy. She was also afraid of being discovered. By then, the reputation of the Meng family would be ruined. Who could protect a little girl like her?
The days in the academy are so happy, but I don’t know how long these days can last.
Although the Zhang family had a few acres of land, it was far from enough in the eyes of the people in the Meng family.
Under pressure from her son, Zhang's mother invited a matchmaker to her home. However, given their poor family background, they were naturally not taken seriously by the head of the Meng family.
I just wonder where this poor guy came from, yet he wants to covet his angelic daughter. He must be like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
After his marriage proposal failed, Zhang Shuhe returned to the academy in a depressed mood. He wanted to apply for a change of building so that he could no longer live under the same roof with Meng Junran.
Meng Junran discovered something unusual and after asking, she found out everything Zhang Shuhe had done for her in the past two days. She hated her father for his poor vision and for not realizing that Shuhe would become an official in the future.
A person from a humble family can get a government position by relying on himself without any family background. If he gets help from the Meng family, he will surely have a bright future.
