Infinite Sims

Chapter 209 Intimidation

In this era when reading is monopolized by aristocratic families.

Shuxiu is just the most basic, trivial, and cheapest contribution on the road of learning literature.

Apart from good teachers, the real big heads are books and pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The former can be obtained by relying on the wisdom beyond ordinary people, while the latter can only be obtained by shining silver.

However, with Jiang Ren's help, Wan Jinghao would go to the mountains to hunt with traps from time to time.

A small part of the captured animals is used to improve the food at home, and most of them are sent to the town for sale, and the income can be regarded as buying some cheap pens, ink, paper and inkstones and commonly used books.

It's not impossible to make more money by hunting alone.

It's just that in this era, if you don't have enough power, no matter how legal the way to make money is, you may be excluded and hated, even hated and missed.

In order to read and study with peace of mind, I can only do this for the time being.

After solving the problem of money, Wan Jinghao also achieved good results in literature.

As he got older, his performance became more and more gratifying.

From the very beginning, he was almost the same as his classmates. After a few years, his learning efficiency and progress reached more than twice that of No.2.

Fengbao is 13 years old.

Jiang Ren came to this world No.11 years.

It was also in this year that 12-year-old Wan Jinghao participated in the boy's test.

And in the end, with the No.2 grade, he won the title of Tongsheng, who has no privileges, but is enough to enter the ranks of scholars.

This also made Wan Jinghao's name as a child prodigy more resounding, and he was called the future Master Guan in private.

His parents and elder brother are also honored and regard him as the pride of the family.

even.

Because of the boy's ranking in the test, the threshold of Wan's family was almost broken by matchmakers from several nearby villages. They all wanted to make a marriage before Wan Jinghao made his fortune.

Among them are some daughters of landlords and down-and-out scholars.

The end result, of course, is rejection.

The former name of ten thousand fools has long since disappeared.

Even if one or two people recall it occasionally, they will tell it out of interest, so as not to leave a jealous impression in front of others.

Gunma Village, Green Bamboo Private School.

Wan Jinghao followed a boy into the reception room.

"Young Master Wan, wait a moment, I will inform Master right away."

The boy said respectfully to Wan Jinghao, and then left the room.

Wan Jinghao, who looked like a simple and honest boy, watched the boy disappear outside the door, turned to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, on the surface he was admiring, but in fact he thought silently: "Grandpa Immortal, you said Master is looking for me!" What's the matter?"

"At this time on weekdays, the master is taking a nap, even if someone visits him, he doesn't care. Why is it so special today?"

"..."

Jiang Ren, whose body was locked in a long life lock on Wan Jinghao's chest, was silent after hearing this.

He won't answer this question. First, it will lower his composure. Second, Wan Jinghao's question is just out of habit, and he doesn't actually want him to answer it.

"Speaking of which, in the past seven years, I have gained something."

Jiang Ren, who was going to enter the cultivation state later, silently recalled the harvest of the past seven years.

"The body is still the same as before, solid and smooth. The feeling it brings to me has not changed at all, and there is no sign of a broken shell sprouting."

"On the contrary, several questions related to the essence have been answered."

"For example, when I was five years old, after Wan Jinghao saw blood, I got the ten-thousand-fold cultivation amplification effect for a few hours."

"Blood is only the inducement of the ten-thousand-fold increase, not the main cause."

"In fact, what really determines the ten-thousand-fold increase is the meditation practice day after day and year after year."

To give a simple example, in his usual practice, he has accumulated a lot of energy in his body, and once he stimulates them, he will get a ten thousand times increase.

The way of stimulation is to feel the blood within a certain range of the body, and it is not limited to human blood.

The energy accumulated in an average year can probably make the effect of ten thousand times increase last for an hour, and harvest three times the essence of the year.

That is to say, one point of essence can be obtained through normal practice every year, and three points of essence can be obtained after the ten-thousand-fold amplification effect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ren snuffed out his memories.

The reason for the [-]-fold increase is that he found it and obtained a lot of essence for himself, but he did not find any other way to obtain the essence.

At this time, footsteps sounded from outside.

"Someone is coming."

When Jiang Ren saw Wan Jinghao's mentor Si Lao walk into the house, he immediately focused on him.

After several years of contact, he found that this person's identity was unusual, he was definitely not a down-and-out scholar, and his literary talent was not as good as that of some real Chinese masters.

The reason why Wan Jinghao got such a good result in the boy test two months ago.

[-]% belongs to luck, [-]% belongs to Wan Jinghao himself, [-]% belongs to himself, and the remaining [-]% belongs to Si Lao.

"Master."

When Wan Jinghao saw the person coming, he immediately bowed and saluted.

Si Lao smiled and said, "Haha, don't be too polite."

Wan Jinghao replied seriously: "This is a gift for students..."

"I don't talk about etiquette today, I just want to tell you good news."

Seeing Wan Jinghao's puzzled eyes, Si Lao smiled and said, "I asked for a place in the academy from Fucheng, and you can go to enroll when the place is available."

Wan Jinghao's eyes widened, and his breathing immediately became rapid: "Qingfeng Academy?"

Si Lao nodded: "It is Qingfeng Academy in Yecheng. This quota not only waives the tuition and book fees, but also allocates a room in the academy. You only need to bring clothes, pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wan Jinghao immediately knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his hands, and kowtowed.

Jiang Ren was also a little surprised when he heard this.

Qingfeng Academy is not ordinary.

As an academy with a population of tens of thousands, the number of students enrolled each year is less than a hundred.

Not only does it require intelligence beyond ordinary people, but it also requires the recommendation of someone with status and status, and it requires a lot of money to repair it.

It is conceivable how precious this quota of exemption from training is.

As for why Si Lao wanted to send Wan Jinghao to Qingfeng Academy, Jiang Ren probably guessed the reason.

Si Lao's knowledge and literary talent may be better than most of the masters in Qingfeng Academy, but knowledge and literary talent is literary talent, not the same as the ability to teach and train students.

In addition, Wan Jinghao is currently 12 years old, which is an age of rapid progress.

Compared with studying behind closed doors in a private school, in an academy you can not only compete with your peers, increase your learning efficiency, but also make friends and pave the way for the future.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Si, Wan Jinghao walked quickly towards home.

Everyone he met on the road greeted him, and he received more attention than the head of Zongheng Village for more than [-] years.

"Brother Wan."

Suddenly a shout sounded from the side.

"Brother Lu, is something wrong?"

Wan Jinghao turned his head to look and saw a tall and thin man, so he cupped his hands and said calmly.

Lu Dadan smiled sarcastically: "I see you are walking in a hurry, but what happened? Do you need my help?"

"There's nothing urgent. If brother Lu is fine, I'll take a step ahead."

Without waiting for a reply, Wan Jinghao quickened his pace and left without hesitation.

Lu Dadan looked at his back, with a look of anger on his face, and he couldn't help clenching his hands into fists.

But in the end, he let go slowly, came to the side of the road lonely, picked up the hoe he dropped just now, and headed towards his own field.

Walking on the road, Wan Jinghao forgot about meeting Lu Dadan just now.

Today, the status and status of the two are not the same.

Although Lu Dadan's family is richer than his fellow villagers, they are at most middle peasants. Most of the time they do their own farming, and at most they hire a few people when the farming is busy.

As for studying, after two years of persistence, he was dragged back by his father because he had no results.

As for Wan Jinghao, needless to say, he was surrounded by well-known child prodigies.

The No. 2 score in the boy's test will definitely get the title of scholar without any accidents. If he takes another exam in the future, he will be a proper official.

back home.

After Wan Jinghao greeted his mother, he entered his room, closed the doors and windows, took out a stone in the corner, and took out a wooden box from it.

In the huge wooden box, there was only one yellowed letter.

There were a few books in the wooden box, not strange novels, but basic books on literacy, which have already been taken out and read countless times.

Wan Jinghao carefully took out the letter and looked at the immature words on it.

"I haven't contacted you for seven years, but I still miss you so much."

Looking at his idiotic smile, Jiang Ren felt a little unbearable to look directly at him.

Although the little girl didn't contact her again after she left, Wan Jinghao still found out the identity of the other party through many channels.

——Huang Lanxi, daughter of Huang Zeshu, head of Qingfeng Academy.

That's why Wan Jinghao was so happy when he learned that he could enter Qingfeng Academy.

The feeling of being able to go to a good academy is only a small part, and more of it is the joy of finally meeting the little girl, after all, he is still far from being educated.

"...Is it because I set too high demands on him?"

Jiang Ren recalled carefully that Wan Jinghao once asked himself what constitutes a learned person, and he answered that a top scorer would be enough.

However, is it difficult to be the No. [-] pick?

Compared with the emperor, the general, and the richest man, it seems that the number one scholar is not difficult. Anyway, it is not me who is taking the exam.

"Besides, with the help of Sun and Moon Essence, it is not too difficult to obtain the number one scholar."

Jiang Ren recalled that the essence of his normal practice in the past few years was only [-]% to [-]% of what he had before meeting Wan Jinghao.

Reminiscent of Wan Jinghao's body gradually getting better and his mind getting smarter, it is clear at a glance who cut off those missing essences.

In the next few days, Wan Jinghao waited at home for the academy quota to arrive.

But even so, he was not idle, he was either studying the Four Books and Five Classics, or practicing calligraphy.

But it didn't take long for someone to break the calm.

"Come here, put everything here."

Under the order of a young man in fine clothes, a group of people carried grains, bacon, cloth and other items into the small courtyard of the Wan family.

"My lord, are you my Xian'er's friend?"

Wan Mu stood next to the young man in brocade suit, looking a little at a loss.

The young man in brocade clothes clapped his hands with his folding fan, and said with a smile: "You are too polite, just call me Yue Da. I am also an old student of Si, and I am a classmate of Mr. Ling."

Hearing this name, Wan Mu's face changed slightly.

Yue Da is the youngest son of village chief Yue Mingzhou. He hardly ever stayed in the village. He was sent to the town school to study since he was a child.

More importantly, the other party's reputation is not very good.

When I returned to the village during the holidays, I ordered my servants to beat them several times because of a word or even a glance, and one of the beaten people was even disabled.

Wan Mu looked at the loads of things, forced a smile and said, "I don't know Mr. Yue, what does this mean?"

Whoa!
Yue Da opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it pretending to be smart: "I was on a study trip before, and I just came back today to receive the news that Ling Gongzi Tongzi got No. 2. As a classmate, how can I remain indifferent? These are my Gift."

"Mother, you go in first, I will chat with Brother Yue."

Wan Jinghao came out from the house.

Wan Mu responded and entered the room, closing the door behind her.

Although the second son is only 12 years old now, he has become the most effective person in the family with his bookish spirit.

"Those who come are not kind, and those who are kind don't come." Jiang Ren looked at Yue Da.

The smug look on the other party's face didn't look like they were here to give gifts as a guest, but rather like they were here to show off and threaten.

This made him, who felt that his life had been a little dull in recent years, suddenly became interested, and planned to extend the rest time a little.

Yue Da cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother Wanxian."

Even though the two had only met a few times and exchanged less than a hundred sentences in total, he still called out "Xiandi" without shame.

"I have accepted Brother Yue's kindness, please take these things back."

Wan Jinghao looked into his eyes calmly and was not affected by the address.

"Brother Wanxian should accept it."

Yue Da put away the fan, leaned into his ear and said, "One is to celebrate you being admitted as a boy, and the other is to celebrate that I got the admission quota of Qingfeng Academy for my brother."

Wan Jinghao's mood sank, and his brows were slightly frowned.

The enrollment quota of Qingfeng Academy is no more than [-] per year, and most of them are digested within the industry city, and a very small part may fall to other prefecture cities and surrounding villages.

Yue Da came to him at this time, his admission quota should be...

"The number of admissions belongs to the Qingzhu Private School, and the best students will be selected according to the rules."

Yue Da showed a smile that saw his thoughts clearly, and said: "As the only second child student, my brother got the child student earlier than you, and this quota naturally belongs to me."

"Brother Wan Xian, you don't have to think that there will be room. The quota was already reported yesterday. There is no chance to change it, and it is impossible to change it."

"Accept the gift, we are still classmates."

Yue Da paused for a moment, then continued: "Brother, I don't know what will happen if you refuse the gift."

"However, Brother Wei heard that there are tigers in the village next door. He has already attacked many people. He even snatched away three of a family of four without leaving any bones. Brother Wan Xian, do you think that family is miserable?"

"Poor thing, that tiger hasn't been caught yet."

Not long after, Yue Da left.

The person who brought him left, leaving all the loads of gifts where they were.
