Chapter 42 The Little Devil Makes Trouble at the Academy

She had a feeling that if Zong Wenxiu and Zong Jincheng took the same test, they would definitely do well, but the test he took was more difficult. After only studying for half a year, it was normal for him to lose the test compared to others who had studied for several years.

But Wenxiu is different. Introverted and careful children can easily get stuck in a dead end and get stuck in their own high standards, which can lead to a broken mentality.

Zong Wenxiu was indeed very nervous. He wanted to see his grades, but was afraid that he would do too badly. Hearing Xu Wan say this, he felt warm in his heart. Sometimes he could really see the shadow of his mother in his wife.

The lady was really very kind to him.

Zong Wenxiu said gratefully, "Thank you, ma'am. Wenxiu listened to you."

Xu Wan smiled at him.

The little devil became more and more resentful as he listened. He glared at the two people who treated him like air and taunted Xu Wan dryly, "It turns out you are not incapable of saying nice things!"

Just don’t tell him!!

Xu Wan said lazily, "Good words are different for different people. Some people are inspired by good words and study hard, while others become blindly confident and arrogant and act out. Right, Master Jincheng?"

Zong Jincheng was pressed against his face again, his mouth pouting higher than a teapot. Finally, he couldn't stand the anger anymore and shouted to the outside: "Stop the car, I want to get off! Who wants to sit with her?"

The driver stopped the carriage and Zong Jincheng jumped off.

Zong Wenxiu wanted to pull him back but couldn't. He looked at Xu Wan in embarrassment. Xu Wan was not in a hurry either. She said, "We're almost at the academy, so let him walk."

"This kid is not stupid at all. He knew that there was only a few steps left before he turned hostile. He is a good candidate for an official post."

"Ah?" Zong Wenxiu was confused. How did he know this?

Xu Wan said: "Be aware of current affairs. Being an official requires you to be tactful in handling matters."

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

Incomprehensible, but shocking.

After every monthly exam, Qingbo Academy would imitate the imperial examinations and post the students' scores, ranking only the top 120.

Therefore, during the college monthly exams, the way students greet each other is: Did you pass the exam?

The list is from left to right, with the left being the top and the right being the bottom.

Zong Jincheng had just listened to Xu Wan's advice in the carriage, and curiously pulled his half-brother over to find his ranking. His half-brother was not confident and started from the bottom of the list.

After just a short look, I found my ranking.

B, No. 106.

The candidates' scores are ranked into four grades according to A, B, C, and D. The candidates in each grade are then ranked according to the correct answer rate. The worst student who can make it into the top 120 can be a B.

Seeing this result, Zong Wenxiu couldn't tell whether he was happy or not. He just smiled at his brother as usual and said, "It's on the list, that's good too."

Zong Jincheng was very dissatisfied and questioned, "How could there be only 106 people?"

This ranking means that in Qingbo Academy, there are 105 students of the same grade who are better than my brother?

That’s too much!

In his eyes, his half-brother was not as smart, cute, or had a good memory as himself, but at least he worked very hard. He got up before dawn to study every day and studied by lamplight at night. How could such a person get such a low score?

Zong Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's normal. After all, I'm two years older than you, and I still have more to learn. Let's go and find your grades. You must have done better than me."

Talking about the little devil's performance, he was quite confident. He didn't need Zong Wenxiu to lead the way. Zong Jincheng raised his head and ran to the top of the list.

The young master of his clan must be the first in the whole academy in the exam!

"The first place on the list is A, Qin Ye."

"It's him again! This guy is so awesome. He has never dropped below second place since he entered the school."

Zong Jincheng hadn't even arrived when he heard this. His expression changed immediately: "I'm not the first place?"

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

This kind of confidence is something I will never have in my life.

Zong Jincheng tiptoed to look inside, and saw that not only was the first person not him, but the second person was also not him, but a man named Zhang Zhi.

"How could it be him?" Zong Jincheng was confused.

Zong Wenxiu was also confused: "Didn't Madam say that Zhang Zhi always got a B in every exam? How come he suddenly got an A and ranked second?"

This incident was so strange that even he noticed that something was wrong.

Zong Wenxiu searched through the list at a glance until he saw two of his names at the end:

One hundred and nineteen, B, Zong Jincheng.

One hundred and twenty, B, Wu Shusen.

"How could this be..." Zong Wenxiu looked at the ranking in disbelief.

Although my younger brother relied on rote memorization and had no idea of ​​the real mood and ideas to be expressed, he had memorized the translation. The exams at this age would not be that difficult, and my younger brother should have been an absolute killer.

How is it possible that I only got a B?

And what about Zhang Zhi? Isn’t he a student of the same level as Wu Shusen?

How did you suddenly become the second place?

When Zong Jincheng saw that he was at the bottom of the list, he shouted angrily, "Why did you go there to find me? How could I be at the bottom of the list?!"

He ran over, but before he could take a closer look at the list, Zong Wenxiu grabbed his sleeve and said firmly, "This list must be fake."

Zong Jincheng was stunned, thinking that he was dissatisfied with his grades, and immediately agreed: "I think it's fake, too. How could you only get a B?"

Zong Wenxiu shook his head and denied it: "No, it may be normal for me to get a B, but it is definitely not normal for you to get a B!"

Zong Jincheng's eyes widened and he turned his head to the list. He saw at a glance that his name was listed last and second to last along with Wu Shusen.

Zong Jincheng: “!!!”

How come he only got a B?

Absolutely impossible!!!

Zong Wenxiu dragged him away and said, "Let's go find the madam and ask her to help check it out. There must be something wrong!"

Zong Jincheng was still confused when he was pulled away. When he came to his senses, he shook off his hand and jumped up and down angrily, "What are you looking for? There is a problem! This lousy academy actually dared to put me at the bottom of the list. It's simply an insult!"

"Damn it! They put it up for so many people to see. It's a double insult! I'll smash them!"

With that, the little devil turned around and desperately pushed aside the people in front who were looking at the results. He kicked over the desk next to him and tore off the big red list!

The long red paper was torn into pieces quickly, shocking everyone. Zong Jincheng threw the scraps all over the floor, and finally stepped on them several times out of anger!

The students who were watching the results had never seen such a fight. What kind of arrogance was this?!

When they realized what was happening, they started shouting, "Who are you? Why did you tear up the list?"

"That's right! Where did you come from, you devil? Isn't Qingbo Academy a place for you to run wild?"
