Chapter 157: Super Grade A? Grade A?
***
Some are happy, some are sad.
Tang Xianming's house, which was originally bustling with people, is now empty.
The place is deserted.
Tang was so angry that he overturned all the tables and chairs in the yard to the ground.
I'm so embarrassed today.
The more I think about it, the more I feel dissatisfied.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, they must have sent the wrong list. No, I have to go to the academy again."
He hurried out with his carriage and drove himself to the Zhishu School in the town.
He wants to get to the bottom of it.
Did they get the name they accepted wrong?
Tang Dazhi and Tang Dayuan both have three characters. It is ridiculous to mistake them for Tang Zhong and Tang Yi, which have two characters.
The carriage was fast.
After a while, we arrived at Zhishu School.
Today is the day when Zhishu School releases the admission letters, and many people are waiting here to see the list.
The admission list would be posted at the school gate, and a messenger would be sent to the countryside to deliver the letter to the students’ homes.
Tang Xianming tied up the carriage.
Squeeze into the crowd.
Not many people were admitted.
There are indeed only about ten people.
The first two names he saw were Tang Zhong and Tang Yi, who were at the front of all the names.
Tang Xianming thought he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes again. Tang was still heavier, so Tang Yi was placed in front.
"Puh! You got the list wrong at Zhishu Academy. Where is your teacher? I want to see your teacher. How could you get such a big thing wrong?"
After reading the list, Tang Xianming went straight to Zhishu Academy.
There was someone guarding the door.
"No loud noises are allowed near the school. Who are you? Get out of here."
Tang Xianming introduced himself, "It's me! I'm from Tangjia Village. I came to ask you yesterday and I was told that we in Tangjia Village had accepted two children, and that was me!"
When the guy saw Tang Xianming, he said, "Oh, it's you! How come the list is wrong?"
"My two grandsons are the most educated people in Tangjia Village. They are called Tang Dazhi and Tang Dayuan. You admitted the wrong ones. You wrote Tang Zhong and Tang Yi. They have only been in the village school for a few days. It is impossible for them to be admitted to Zhishu School. I want to meet your teacher..."
He has seen many people like this coming to check their scores.
The old man guarding the gate said "oh" and looked down at the list in his hand, and found the section for Tangjia Village. "Tang Dazhi, overall score is B-class, Tang Dayuan, overall score is C-class."
This list was just released today.
Yesterday they only knew how many children were admitted from which village, which was a rough idea.
So, when Tang Xianming came to ask, he only gave a rough answer.
Unexpectedly, this person is so shameless and comes again.
"Ah! How could it be possible that the score is lower than last year? What about Tang Zhong and Tang Yi?" Tang Xianming asked.
Menzi said again, "In Tangjia Village, Tang Zhong's comprehensive score is above Class A, and Tang Yi's comprehensive score is Class A!"
Tang's face turned pale.
Others who came to watch the excitement began to talk about it.
"What? Super Class A?"
"Oh my god, A grade is already amazing, there is even a super A grade."
"I heard that anyone who gets an A-level grade and enters Zhishu Academy will become a scholar in the future."
"No wonder Tang Zhong and Tang Yi's names are at the front. They are probably ranked according to their performance, since they are the best."
"I'm so jealous! These two kids have the same surname, so they're obviously from the same family. What kind of family can produce two talented students at once? Their ancestors must be very happy."
Tang Xianming said anxiously, "I don't believe it. Can you take a look for me? There must be something wrong."
The old man guarding the gate showed Tang Xianming the list and said, "Let me show you. There are many people like you who refuse to give up. Don't say that the list is wrong. Your name is written on every examination paper. Every examination paper has been reviewed by many teachers many times. There is no way there is a mistake. Your grandson, Tang Dazhi, is ranked B, and Tang Dayuan is ranked C. You are not qualified to enter Zhishu School. The lowest threshold of our Zhishu School is Super B, Second Class A..."
Tang Xianming went back dejectedly.
Zhishu Academy is not a place where just anyone can cause trouble.
He could only read the list, and left in disgrace amid the ridicule of many people.
"Super A? A? If that's the case, then the slow teacher in the village school must have cheated for them."
That must be the case!
Cai was willing to spend money to do the work. When she was building the house, she not only paid the workers she hired, but also provided them with meals. The food was so good, with meat and vegetables, no limit on the amount.
Even the children who went out to beg for money were provided with meals. This behavior seemed as if the family had more money than they could spend and they were deliberately helping the poor to win people's hearts.
This time, for sure.
He secretly gave Master Man a great gift.
Then, Master Man replaced the test papers of his two grandsons Tang Xianming with those of Dabao and his two brothers.
It's very easy to change your name when no one is paying attention.
The more Tang Xianming thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The carriage went directly from Zhishu Academy to the village school in Tangjia Village.
The village school is bustling with activity now.
Everyone knows that Tang Zhong and Tang Yi were admitted to Zhishu Academy.
Teacher Man was very happy and let the children study on their own in the classroom.
He was having a cordial conversation with Uncle Li Zheng in the yard.
"…As for the leaking classroom, I will send someone to fix it in two days. If the yard is not enough, we can repair the wasteland at the back and make a connection so that the children can have some space to move around during breaks. If you have any other problems, we will help you in any way that the village can..."
"Thank you, thank you. There are still not enough desks. The previous desks are old and falling apart. They are unusable. Can you ask the carpenter in the village to customize a batch at a low price..."
"That's easy. I'll go find a free carpenter in the village and have him make something for you. I'll have young men cut some wood in the mountains..."
…
There are also 100,000 little bees in the teaching room.
Various ways of praising the first and second babies.
In the entire classroom, everyone was more excited than Dabao and Erbao.
The two parties involved were the calmest.
When others praised them, they just nodded and continued reading and studying.
So, everyone gathered around the two little guys, Xiao Yuanbao and Sanbao. The two siblings were restless and chattered with others praising their brother.
The conversation was lively.
"Tang Zhong and Tang Yi are truly talented people who are not well-known. I admire them so much."
"They didn't tell us how they did after the test, whether they did well or not. This is very normal. We thought they didn't do well..."
"Are Dazhi and Dayuan having a party today?"
…
Tang Dazhi and Tang Dayuan's faces turned pale and they wished they could cover their ears.
I don’t know what to say in response.
The two of them picked up their schoolbags and headed outside.
At this moment, Tang Xianming arrived in his carriage and bumped into the two grandsons who were very angry.
He was even more distressed, and stepped forward to grab Master Man, "Is it you? Tell me! Did Cai give you money to replace the names of my two grandsons' exam questions with Tang Zhong and Tang Yi's?"
