With the crowd watching, Yun Xiucheng personally unveiled the plaque for the academy.
He looked at everyone and said slowly: "Guangxia Academy will begin recruiting students from today.
No matter if you are from a rich family or a poor family, as long as you enter Guangxia Academy, there will be no distinction between high and low!"
"good!"
As Yun Xiucheng's voice fell, everyone applauded in unison.
Someone in the crowd whispered, “I heard that the grandson of the Grand Master was beaten by the young master of the An family at the An Academy.
Madam An Yuan went to ask for an explanation, but was looked down upon by a servant of the An family. The Grand Master named the academy Guangxia, which was a slap in the face of the An family in public!"
"Well done! The An family relies on their status as the head of the An family and doesn't take anyone seriously. The young master of the An family is even more domineering.
I have long been looking forward to someone cleaning up this An family!"
Qian stood at the end of the crowd and frowned as she looked at Yun Xiucheng who was standing on the steps.
The academy also has a share of their mansion. Why should he accept students from poor families without asking for the mansion's opinion?
Letting her Chen Ge'er study with a group of poor students, wouldn't this lower the status of Chen Ge'er and the Marquis' Mansion?
"No, I don't agree!"
Qian yelled at Yun Xiucheng.
But her voice was completely drowned out by the sudden sound of firecrackers.
Yangyang was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
She opened her eyes and saw the plaque above, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.
Just now, she entered the interior again.
She saw in the interior scene that the academy was recruiting students, and among the students there were people arranged by the An family.
[It’s over, it’s over. We’ll be recruiting students soon. If someone sent by the An family gets in, the reputation of the academy and my grandfather will be ruined.]
When the sound of firecrackers stopped, everyone followed Yun Xiucheng and walked into the academy.
Just as Yun Wanrou was about to follow, she heard Yangyang's voice.
She frowned and looked at everyone.
There are actually people from the An family among here?
No, she had to find a way to find the people and not let them damage her father's reputation!
Yun Wanrou carried Yangyang inside.
Jian Yunli was sitting at the wooden table, preparing to register the students' names.
She turned her eyes and looked at Wangshu.
"Wangshu, help me move a stool over."
"promise!"
Wangshu responded and moved a stool over.
Yun Wanrou sat on one side of the wooden table, letting Yangyang face everyone.
Yangyang knew that someone from the An family had sneaked in, and she should be able to recognize the other person.
Yun Li didn't know what Yun Wanrou was thinking and thought she just wanted to be with him.
He picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and looked at the first person in line: "Name?"
"Zhang Yi."
Yun Li picked up the pen to register the information of the registered students, while Yun Yi collected money on the side.
Soon, a man led a child to them.
The two men were dressed very poorly and had sallow skin.
When Yangyang saw the two of them, she recognized them.
[Here they come, there are two people, the ones bribed by An.]
[This kid looks quite honest, but after entering the academy, he deliberately provokes the children of aristocratic families.
After leaving the academy, he turned around and said that the academy did not treat the children of wealthy families and the students from poor families equally. 】
[One family's words are not to be trusted, but the An family arranged for several poor students to enter the academy.
They also encouraged other poor students to unite and attack the children of the aristocratic families and the academy, which led to the complete destruction of the reputation of my grandfather and the academy.
Snap!
Yun Li dropped the pen in his hand.
The ink dripped onto the white paper, leaving a stain.
He looked at the father and son in front of him.
No matter how he looked, he could not detect any trace of cunning in their honest faces.
If he couldn't hear Yangyang's inner voice, I'm afraid they would have been fooled.
Seeing Yun Li staring at them, the man lowered his head slightly.
"Sir, I...my family has no money. Can you please make some concessions and let the child go to school first, and I will slowly find a solution."
"Sorry, you don't meet the admission requirements."
Yun Li's voice slowly reached the man's ears.
The man frowned and asked in confusion: "What are the requirements for admission? Is it because we have no money?"
The man took out a small purse from his arms and took out a few copper coins from it.
"I know this money is not enough, but I will find a way. Please let your child register first, and I will find a way to collect enough money before the class starts."
"It's not about the money. Even if you can gather enough money, we can't accept this child."
"Why? Didn't you guys talk nicely outside the door just now?
"No matter if they are from aristocratic families or poor families, we treat them all equally. You guys have earned a good reputation, but you don't want to admit it?"
The man was a little angry.
He turned to look at the people behind him and suddenly raised his voice.
"Look everyone, this is the academy run by the Grand Tutor. What he said about not distinguishing between the rich and the poor is better said than sung.
But in the end, it's just like other academies, refusing to accept children from poor families like us!"
"How could this be? Just now outside the door, they clearly didn't say that."
"I thought that the Grand Master could really treat everyone equally. I didn't expect that the Yun family is no different from the An family!"
The An family spies mixed in the crowd all echoed the man's words.
Yangyang kicked her legs and her face turned red with anger.
[The people that the An family had planted in the crowd couldn't hold back any longer. My uncle just stopped one person, and they jumped out one after another, trying to force my uncle to surrender.]
[Uncle, you must stick to your bottom line and not let the An family's evil plan succeed! ]
Yun Li frowned, turned around and whispered something to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi nodded slightly, stood up suddenly and looked at the crowd.
He wrote down the faces of those who agreed.
Yun Wanrou held Yangyang in her arms and looked carefully at the man in front of her.
Seeing the child shivering and seemingly a little afraid of men, Yun Wanrou raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
“My father is the Grand Tutor, so he’s naturally a man of his words.
My brother said that you don’t meet the requirements, not because you can’t come up with the money, nor because you are from a farming family.
But he saw that this child was not your son at all. We at Guangxia Academy dare not accept children of unknown origin. "
The crowd who had not yet figured out the situation became even more confused after hearing Yun Wanrou's words.
Seeing that his identity was being suspected, the man's accomplice couldn't help but ask:
"You said they are not father and son, but do you have any evidence?"
As the man's voice fell, everyone looked at Yun Wanrou.
Under the gazes of everyone, Yun Wanrou remained silent for a moment.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man's other accomplice immediately said, "Where's the evidence? Bring out the evidence.
If you can't produce evidence, then you are going back on your word and are unwilling to accept children from poor families."
"That's right. If you don't have evidence, blame us for spreading the news!"
The people placed by the An family were aggressive towards Yun Wanrou and others.
Yun Yi frowned and looked at Yun Wanrou, feeling extremely anxious.
My sister is a girl, so it is impossible for her to know these two people.
She said that on purpose, probably to help her brother out.
But now, these people are trying to force them to produce evidence.
If he can’t come up with it, the reputation of my father and the academy will be ruined!
