Seeing Song Chi coming over, Li Cheng looked a little unnatural.
He was just boasting that he quit the Donglin Academy because he couldn't stand Song Chi, but in fact he was kicked out.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and the people around watched Song Chi bring over 28 candidates.
Song Chi walked up to Li Cheng and asked, "You just said that if the people I lead fail the entrance exam, you will kneel down and kowtow to me ten times?"
Li Cheng looked at the eyes of the people around him, his face flushed slightly, and then he said loudly: "Even if I said it, what can I do?"
"There's nothing wrong with you accepting money to do things for others, but you've publicly tarnished my reputation, and I'm going to make you pay."
Song Chi turned to the crowd and said, "He didn't quit Donglin Academy on his own initiative, but was expelled by me. He is a member of Qingtingke and wants to find out about me."
Seeing Li Cheng's unnatural expression, everyone suddenly realized what was happening.
"I just don't believe you can lead so many people through the college entrance examination."
At this time, a cold voice was heard, and Duan Yunzhou came over, followed by many students. They were candidates from Qingtingke who were going to take the college examination, and as the head of the society, he came to see them off.
Song Chi said calmly, "Just now, Li Chengdu said that if I can't do it, I have to kowtow to him ten times in public. How about you make a bet with me? Whoever loses will kowtow to the other person ten times in Nandu Academy."
"I love making bets with others. Do you dare or not?"
Duan Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly. He really didn't know where Song Chi got his confidence from.
The chief examiner was Ma Jingming, and he had already made arrangements to prevent Song Chi from passing the exam smoothly. As for others, it was even more impossible.
Qingtingke recruits the best students and candidates, which is a monopoly on talents.
"If you don't dare, then shut up. You're the leader of the Qingke Pavilion. You're just a defeated opponent who was eliminated by me at the literary meeting. You can't even enter the Wangjiang Tower. And you still have the nerve to call yourself the most talented scholar in Nandu Academy. You're really shameless!"
Song Chi was full of disdain. He didn't want to show off his eloquence. These people were really ruining his reputation everywhere.
I've been holding it in for half a month, and now that I'm finally out, how can I let them off?
Duan Yunzhou's face flushed red. It was indeed extremely shameful that he lost to Song Chi in the literary meeting, and he has become a laughing stock to this day.
This is a shame and must be washed away.
He is the leader of the Qingke Pavilion Society and the most talented scholar in the Nando Academy.
Thinking of this, Duan Yunzhou said coldly, "Don't you like betting? I'll play with you. Whoever loses will kowtow to the other at the gate of Nandu Academy."
"You brought twenty-eight people, including yourself, a total of twenty-nine people. If any one fails the entrance exam, you lose!"
"good."
Song Chi looked around and said, "With so many people testifying, none of us can deny it!"
"If you lose, I and the leader will kowtow to you together!" Li Cheng seemed very excited. He was a little panicked at first, but now he felt much calmer.
No matter what, Duan Yunzhou is always there for me.
wrong.
How can I lose this? It's a sure-win bet.
Duan Yunzhou smiled and said, "Song Chi, you are a smart person, but you like to do stupid things. Jiangzhou City only has forty students admitted this year. How could all twenty-nine of you pass?"
"And the people I brought with me are all top scorers from various prefectures, all of them are talented and knowledgeable. You simply don't understand why so many students pass the Qingke Pavilion's entrance exams every year. It's because the outstanding people are in Qingke Pavilion, and you are all misfits!"
The people around me are silent, this is the truth.
Since you are already excellent and have someone to take care of you, it will be easy for you to pass the college entrance examination.
Students from Qingke Pavilion accounted for 80% of the total number of admissions each time, whether in the academy examination or the provincial examination.
"What's even more ridiculous is that you brought Gu Ronghua with you. Even if others can pass, can this rich young master pass?"
Everyone around laughed.
Everyone knows what level Gu Ronghua is at. He has no ability to take the imperial examinations. He bought his way into the county and prefectural examinations with donations.
This makes Duan Yunzhou invincible.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Song Kuishou was really stupid. How could he make such a bet with Duan Yunzhou?
It is different from the literary competition. That is a test of oneself, but this one requires everyone to pass.
It's simply impossible.
"Song Chi once told me, 'A man should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. Just wait and see how I, Gu Ronghua, will make a stunning debut!"
Gu Ronghua didn't care about the laughter, but shouted loudly instead.
Song Chi said that as long as he could master what he had memorized in the past few days, he would definitely pass the college entrance examination.
He had memorized the meaning of scriptures, articles, calligraphy, and poems.
Since Song Chi said so, there must be no problem.
"Haha, then I'll wait for the good news that you all passed." Duan Yunzhou laughed, thinking it was just a joke.
Song Chi sneered and said, "Enough of the idle chatter, wait until the exam is over and see the results!"
"Exam candidates enter!"
With a loud shout from the yamen runner, candidates taking the academy examination began to enter the hall, and Song Chi also lined up in the queue with his examination basket.
The college entrance examination lasts for one day and one night, and you need to bring your own food, writing brushes, ink, etc.
Song Chi returned home last night. Su Mingyue prepared some exquisite pastries for him, fearing that Song Chi would be hungry. Her calligraphy and writing were also excellent.
The sky was gloomy and there was a hint of chill in the air.
Three teams were formed at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and the yamen runners would check the examination baskets that each person brought. If any smuggled items were found, the candidate would be disqualified from the examination.
The strictness of the academy examination was the same as that of the provincial examination. The examiners were from the local government, but the examiners were the presidents of academies invited from five hundred miles away to ensure fairness.
If someone was found cheating during the exam, the yamen runners in charge of checking would also be held accountable, so the yamen runners checked very carefully.
At the door, your ID will be checked and you will be searched, and after you enter, your exam basket will be checked.
Song Chi waited in line for about a quarter of an hour before it was his turn. He handed over his ID card, and the yamen runner took a closer look and asked Song Chi to turn around. He then searched him to see if he had any cheat sheets on him. The more meticulous the examinee was, the more likely he would ask him to take off his outer robe.
Some candidates would write their essays inside their robes in advance during the exam.
In order to pass the exam, various methods have emerged.
"Raise your arms."
The yamen runner had triangular eyes and spoke expressionlessly.
Song Chi raised his hand, and he stretched out his hand to check. Just when he was about to touch the clothes, Song Chi took a step back and shouted, "You have something in your hand!"
This loud shout attracted all the attention around. The triangular-eyed yamen runner's face changed drastically. He was about to withdraw his hand, but Song Chi was quick to grab his wrist.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
The yamen runner shouted angrily, and Song Chi's wrist was tightly clasped. His hand stretched out unnaturally, and a ball of paper fell to the ground.
The candidates can see clearly all around.
The yamen runner looked uneasy and stretched out his foot to step on the paper ball. Song Chi was quick to kick it aside and quickly bent down to pick it up.
He unfolded the paper ball and saw densely packed words on it.
