Chapter 66: Hanlin North Courtyard is too aggressive

Row after row of Hanlin Academy, Hanlin Academy, Hanlin Academy. Even an illiterate person would find it ridiculous. Can't they just change a few words?

In the last few rows, Yanqing Academy and Suibian Academy began to appear one after another, thus breaking the record of Hanlin Academy being the only one except Qin Ye.

And Zong Jincheng finally found his ranking.

"No. 120, A, Qingbo Academy, Zong Jincheng."

“………………”

There were only 120 names on the list, and he was the 120th one, with the name of Qingbo Academy, sitting alone at the end of the list.

The last one in the joint entrance examination of four colleges...

The little devil was stunned, gradually became irritable, angry, jealous, and furious, ready to go crazy...

"No words! Put me down!"

Zong Jincheng turned around and left, still muttering, "What a lousy academy! I will never come here again!"

Those people even congratulated him!

What good news? Good news for a hammer!

What’s the point of being on the list!

What's there to congratulate for being the last one?

Zong Wenxiu had been beside him the whole time. Although he could not see the words on the list in front, he saw his brother move down to the bottom of the list. It was obvious that he had found his name and was deeply shocked.

He hurriedly chased after her and saw Cui Liu whispering in Xu Wan's ear, presumably reporting the report card to her.

"Madam, my brother is leaving." Zong Wenxiu said anxiously.

Xu Wan nodded and said, "As expected, let's go, we'll go back too."

"Madam, aren't you worried...my brother said he doesn't want to come to the academy anymore."

Xu Wan said nonchalantly, "He has said this many times. What's the difference between this and saying that a wolf has come?"

Zong Wenxiu: “…”

That makes sense.

But having said this, Zong Wenxiu was still worried and chased after him to comfort his brother.

"Jincheng, wait for me."

Zong Jincheng stopped walking when he heard his voice, turned around and looked at him aggrievedly, his mouth pouting like a teapot.

"Brother, I did so badly on the exam." The little devil's eyelashes blinked and the corners of his eyes turned a little red.

He had probably never experienced such a setback before. He worked so hard to do something and was so confident that he had done it well, but the actual result was so disappointing.

But he still cares about his reputation. A man doesn't shed tears easily. Crying means he admits defeat, so he won't cry.

He, Zong Jincheng, would not cry after being defeated!

Zong Wenxiu felt a little distressed. He ruffled his brother's soft hair and consoled him, "You did well in the exam, otherwise why would so many people congratulate you? Look, I studied much longer than you, but I still didn't even make the list."

"Then aren't you sad?" the little devil asked puzzledly.

Zong Wenxiu laughed: "I am sad, of course. Not only sad, but also disappointed. But I know that even if I have worked very hard, I have not studied as long as others. How can I catch up with others' five or six years of study in just half a year? If the progress is so easy to catch up, then what is the meaning of them studying for so many years?"

Zong Jincheng followed his line of thought and it seemed to be true.

If a person who has studied for five or six years is surpassed by someone who has only studied for a few months, he probably won't want to touch a book again in his life.

The little devil was soon comforted, but he was still unhappy. He complained in a resentful tone: "That Hanlin Academy is so annoying. I am almost dying of exhaustion looking for the list. They are all students from their academy, and they are all overwhelming me."

Zong Wenxiu pondered and said, "I know this. After all, Hanlin Academy is the strongest academy in the capital. As long as you have good scores in the entrance examination, you can be exempted from tuition fees, and food and accommodation are provided. Therefore, poor students in the capital and even other counties also come here to study. The strength of Hanlin Academy is getting stronger and stronger."

Zong Jincheng snorted, "Just wait. I will trample them hard under my feet in the next joint exam. It's my turn to crush them to death! Crush them to death, crush them to death!!"

Zong Wenxiu smiled and said, "That's right. At your learning speed, you will definitely be able to crush them all next time!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

When Xu Wan saw the boy burst into laughter again, she knew that her assistant Wen Xiu had helped her to calm the little devil.

She then stepped forward and said at the right time: "Children, since you are so curious about Hanlin Academy, don't you want to see the atmosphere of their usual study?"

"Uh-huh?"

One of the two brothers of the Zong family had never seen the world, while the other had only seen the crooked world. Qingbo Academy was the only academy they had come into contact with, and they thought that all academies were like that.

Little did they know that this was the academy that Xu Wan had picked for them based on the current situation. It was neither so outstanding as to make people feel discouraged, nor so bad as to make people lose the desire to compete.

However, the real first university in the capital, the one with the strongest learning atmosphere, is still Hanlin Academy, North Campus.

Zong Jincheng had heard Xu Wan talk about this academy at the very beginning, so now it was his turn to use his super memory to show off to Zong Wenxiu: "The Hanlin Academy is divided into the South and North. You have to pay to get into the South, and you have to take exams to get into the North."

"The top scholar of every session of our Great Chu State comes from the North Court of Hanlin Academy, so there is a saying that 'entering Hanlin Academy means one step into the official career', but I want to correct one thing, my father is not like that, he was taught by Master Baili!"

Zong Wenxiu was getting excited when he heard the last sentence. He said, "Then let's strive to become the next number one scholar who is not from the North Academy of Hanlin!"

Zong Jincheng clapped his hands proudly and said, "Gentlemen think alike!"

After getting off the carriage, the three of them headed straight for the north courtyard.

The South Court is located in the outer courtyard and looks similar to Qingbo Academy, but when you get to the inner courtyard, the students in the North Court are obviously different.

There were very few students in the North Campus and the space was not very big, but everyone of them walked very fast, some even jogged, some held books in their hands and muttered to themselves, and some frowned, thinking about something.

Unlike the South Campus students who were very curious, the North Campus students seemed to be immersed in their own world and didn't care at all whether there were any strange strangers in the academy.

Zong Wenxiu looked to the side and said blankly: "Brother, why do I feel like I have seen countless Qin Ye?"

Zong Jincheng also nodded and agreed: "I take back what I said before."

"Um?"

The little devil gnashed his teeth and said, "I suddenly feel that Qin Ye is not so inhuman. He is just a little arrogant, a little arrogant, a little impolite, and a little unpleasant. But he is still a normal person. At least he walks steadily and attentively. He is not so abnormal as to recite while running!"
