Xiao Cunyu sold his elder brother without hesitation and without any guilt.
Most scholars in this world aim to pass the imperial examinations and become officials. Although he can show off with his talent, he cannot trample on the goals that scholars strive for. At this time, the only way for her to save trouble is to let her brothers step forward.
Raise your brother for a thousand days, and use him for a moment.
He is a child who doesn't understand anything. No matter how much the teacher says to her... it's useless.
"Did your eldest brother really say that?" Master Zhu was shocked. "He's playing with your future! Xiao Qi, did your eldest brother tell you why? Why didn't he allow you to take the exam? As far as I know, your eldest brother is also a Jinshi, and your third brother is a Jieyuan. Why would he stop you?"
"Master, studying is hard, and you have to burn the lamp day and night. Only a determined person can endure it. I have been in poor health since I was young, and my father passed away early. I am the only one in our fifth family. The examination hall is difficult, and people like me may not be able to come out after entering. My brothers think that I don't need to bear such danger. I will do what I want to do in the future and be happy and safe." Xiao Cunyu tried his best to let his brothers take the blame.
Master Zhu had never heard of such misleading words before. It was simply nonsense!
Is the exam room dangerous?
Yes, during exams, the rooms were locked tightly, and there were some scholars who died of fright or cold during exams, but they were a minority after all.
Among all the officials in the court, unless they had a strong family background, which one did not survive in this way?
"Xiao Qi, you can't listen to your brother. Your future is a big deal, don't joke about it. You should make your own decision..." Master Zhu began to persuade.
"That won't work. The eldest brother is like a father. I am the youngest in the family. My brother's words are like my father's words. I have to listen to him. Even if you talk me a lot, I will never take the exam. If you have any questions in this regard in the future, you can go and talk to my eldest brother. What I care about more is... Do you think I can have a few more days of vacation in the future?" Xiao Cunyu asked with a smile.
Master Zhu felt a lump in his mouth and felt very uncomfortable.
It’s so rare to see a child who is about to become successful!
The result was ruined.
Master Zhu was furious, thinking that he had to go talk to the Xiao brothers. He couldn't let Xiao Cunyu go on like this!
The crazy headman next to him didn't know what he was thinking and didn't say anything.
After Master Zhu was helpless and had to leave, the dean asked, "What do you think of the academy?"
Xiao Cunyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding, but still said: "It's a bit stingy, but the food tastes good and there are many books, which is good."
"For you." The Crazy Headmaster said again.
"..." Xiao Cunyu scratched his ears, "Give me what?"
"The academy." The mad headmaster was very serious, even a little uneasy. "There are still 98,700 taels of silver. This is all the deposit of the academy."
"Hehehe..." Xiao Cunyu laughed dryly.
Are you kidding me?
"Old man Lin said you can do it. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. I am old and in poor health. I can't hold on for a few more years. Without an heir, the academy will be taken back by the court and everything will be gone. You are not a fool. You are young and can live a long time. You should save your money..." The crazy headmaster did not like long speeches, and he had not been so eager to express his meaning clearly for many years.
If the imperial court takes back the academy, all the books here will be divided up.
Part of it was kept privately by the emperor, part of it was placed in the Imperial College, and part of it was distributed to several other famous academies in the capital...
In this case, all the efforts of the previous principals would be ruined.
