Chapter 61: There is no sunshine but there is sunshine
Meng Dezhi was very proud that his niece was admitted to Yanjing University.
Because my niece was admitted based on her own ability.
In an era when being able to get into university was considered elite, being able to attend Yanjing University made one absolutely the elite among the elite.
Xiao Cheng is a bit lazy.
Therefore, Meng Dezhi always couldn't help but want to stimulate this lazy guy.
I want to let this kid know that there are always people better than you.
Sure enough, after he said this, Cheng Xuyuan's expression when he looked at Fang Yuqing immediately became a little different.
"Congratulations!" Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile.
Fang Yuqing said modestly: "It's just a coincidence that the content of this exam just happened to be in line with the direction of my review."
Cheng Xuyuan did not ask Meng Dezhi why he was so sure that his niece could go to Yanjing University. Now that the scores were out, based on Mr. Meng's status, it was natural to judge whether she could be admitted.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and didn't respond.
After all, he also wants to go to Yanjing University. If we talk too much, it will become mutual flattery.
However, Meng Dezhi has a strange temper. For example, now he just wants to strike back at Cheng Xuyuan.
He immediately looked down at me and asked, "Xiao Cheng, I remember you also took the college entrance examination. How many points did you get? Did you pass?"
Fang Yuqing had a lot of contact with her uncle Meng Dezhi and knew his temper.
He is usually serious, but now he seems to be pursuing this young man relentlessly.
This seems a little wrong.
Just when she was wondering, Cheng Xuyuan had already answered: "I passed the exam."
Meng Dezhi paused.
He originally thought that he could use this incident to urge this young man to study hard.
Unexpectedly, he actually passed the exam.
However, this result seems to be quite normal.
After all, his writing style is very good. If he can get 80 or 90 points in Chinese, he can pass the exam even if the total score of other subjects is 100.
"How many points do you have? What university can you get into?"
Cheng Xuyuan glared at Meng Dezhi. Why did he keep asking questions and insisted on getting to the bottom of it?
I'm here as a guest, and you seem to really want to attack me.
"342 points, I heard it's enough for admission to Yanda University, but I don't know if I can get in." Cheng Xuyuan said a little unhappily.
"You are really good, kid." Meng Dezhi glared and said, "Such a big thing, you didn't even tell me."
"The main reason is that I don't live in the cultural center these days, so I can't see you normally." Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "How can I tell you?"
Fang Yuqing couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her uncle was really being a bit unreliable this time.
Fortunately, I have always kept a low profile.
If I had shown any pride just now, it would have been embarrassing.
Other people’s scores are more than 20 points higher than mine!
"Okay, it's a great thing that you've been admitted to university. Let's have a nice drink today." At this point, he turned to Fang Yuqing and said, "Yuqing, you two will be classmates from now on. Keep in touch if you have anything."
Fang Yuqing said: "Uncle, I understand."
"Mr. Cheng, I'm looking forward to meeting you at university."
Seeing Fang Yuqing so calm and confident, Cheng Xuyuan naturally did not pretend to be so. He also smiled and said, "I hope both of our dreams can come true."
While the two were talking, Meng Dezhi had already taken out a magazine and said, "Xiao Cheng, come and take a look at this."
When Cheng Xuyuan took the magazine, he saw the words "Learn from history" written on it.
I opened the magazine and saw a page of content, which read: The Economy of the Song Dynasty from the Perspective of Coins...
And his own "Things about the Ming Dynasty" appeared last.
Although the printing quality of the magazine was much worse than that of later generations, Cheng Xuyuan still enjoyed the scent of ink.
Meng Dezhi said: "In my opinion, your book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" should be put first, but their magazine has its own rules."
"Your Aunt Mo is not someone who is easy to argue with."
"It doesn't matter where you put it."
"How can this be the same?"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Old Meng, what Aunt Mo said is also true. As long as the book is good, it doesn't matter where it is placed."
As he spoke, he placed the magazine on the table.
Meng Dezhi said, "Let's go to my study. I've already made some tea. I found a few books on Ming history these days. Let's go and discuss it."
As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Xuyuan towards the study.
Fang Yuqing looked at her uncle leaving and shook her head gently.
She came to her uncle's house this time to hang out, but she didn't expect to meet her uncle's friend when she arrived.
And it seems that this friend is going to become my classmate.
His college entrance examination scores were better than mine, and he also contributed articles to my aunt's magazine.
The requirements for manuscripts published by their magazine seem to be quite high. Basically, only experts and professors with research in history can publish manuscripts.
The TV was boring at that time, so Fang Yuqing picked up the magazine that Cheng Xuyuan had placed on the table.
When Fang Yuqing opened the first page and looked at the paper on the economy of the Song Dynasty from the perspective of currency, she felt her head was a little confused.
I really shouldn't study history. I should learn Chinese. History is not something people like me can study.
I don’t know how my aunt ended up working for the history magazine.
Fang Yuqing, who no longer had the desire to open the book, still found "Things about the Ming Dynasty".
The author is Dangnian Mingyue! This is a pen name!
Don’t we use our real names when writing things now?
My uncle seemed to have said that it would be easy to become famous this way! Why did my future classmate use a pen name? What was he trying to do? The bright moon was there, shining on the colorful clouds! But this is not quite right! Fang Yuqing pondered the meaning of the pen name, and continued to flip through it, and saw that it continued to write:
“We started with a dossier.
Name: Zhu Yuanzhang Aliases (nicknames): Zhu Chongba, Zhu Guorui Gender: Male Nationality: Han Blood type:?
Education: No diploma, not a scholar, juren or jinshi, but later taught himself. Occupation: Emperor
Family background: (at least three generations) poor peasant
Birth and Death: 1328-1398 Favorite Color: Yellow (I don't think I can choose this) Social Relationships:
Father: Zhu Wusi, farmer
Mother: Chen, a farmer (sorry, her name doesn’t seem to be in the history books) Motto: What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is still mine…”
Looking at the resume that came into her sight, Fang Yuqing didn't know what to say for a moment.
It was the first time she had seen writing like this.
And it seems to be history! Motto, she knows what it means.
But Emperor Zhu's motto is really interesting.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this motto.
What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine...
Fang Yuqing couldn't help but lower her head and look carefully.
Who would have thought that the famous Hongwu Emperor had such a childhood? He...
Why is it gone?
It's just a little bit, how come there is nothing more? I just saw the most crucial part! Zhu Yuanzhang's next step...
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and walked towards the kitchen.
"Aunt, do you have any other manuscripts for "Things About the Ming Dynasty"? " Fang Yuqing asked Mo Yunqi who was cooking.
Mo Yunqi smiled and said, "Why, do you think it looks good?"
"Let me tell you, the remaining manuscripts are all at the magazine. If you think they're good, why not ask the author?"
"Isn't he at home?"
Thank you very much for your support, I am grateful, please support me in any way you can! (End of this chapter)
