Houfu Key Class

Chapter 47 Wen Xiu's Jade Pendant is Lost

"Is it the eight-year-old Qin Ye? I've heard about it too. He recently told the dean that he will transfer to another class after the exam to learn more knowledge."

"Sure enough, I'm going to take the children's examination in two years."

"With him here, we will definitely have someone on the list this year!"

Zong Jincheng listened to what they said one by one, saying that Qin Ye was inseparable no matter what. In the eyes of the students at Qingbo Academy, Qin Ye was like a savior.

This made Zong Jincheng very jealous.

He raised his fist and said, "Let's see how I defeat that boy named Qin this time!"

"You?" Those people looked at him in disbelief.

"Never seen it."

"I don't know."

"Are you bragging?"

"Let's wait until we get on the list. You defeated Qin Ye and exaggerated. Do you think you are Qin Ye?"

Zong Jincheng: "!! I'm going to fight you!!"

Zong Wenxiu was very frightened, fearing that his younger brother would get into a fight with someone again before the exam. He grabbed the little devil and explained: "Don't look down on others too much. My younger brother is also very good. Last time he was only ranked in Qin Dynasty in the monthly exam." Behind the night is the second place.”

Zong Jincheng was disgusted with this ranking, but now that mentioning this ranking could prove part of his strength, he endured it and acquiesced with a hum.

As a result, those few people were just stunned for a moment, and then said: "So what? There were thousands of students from our four colleges taking the joint entrance examination, but in the end only 120 students made it to the list. In previous years, the other three colleges took all the exams, and Qing Dynasty took the exam. No one can get into Bo Academy. Maybe Qin Ye can give it a try this year, just forget it."

Zong Jincheng angrily said to Zong Wenxiu: "Don't pull me, I will let them see how strong the number one in the joint examination of the four colleges is today!"

Zong Wenxiu: "..."

My brother's bragging is getting bigger and bigger.

No...it's just that I am becoming more and more confident.

"Hehe, another one is crazy."

"It's over, it's over. There's nothing to argue with a stupid boy."

Zong Jincheng shouted at their departing figures: "Damn it, you guys who look down on others, please look at me with wide eyes. I, Zong Jincheng, will definitely get the first place in the exam this year!"

The huge college was bustling with people, but no one listened to these words, but someone passed by and laughed.

Zong Jincheng: (#-.-).

Zong Wenxiu looked at his brother's frustrated look and couldn't help but want to laugh, but luckily he held it back.

He said gently: "It's okay, brother, I believe in you. You will definitely do well in this monthly exam!"

At least, it's definitely better than last time.

After all, my younger brother has been so motivated to study this month, and he is so smart that his learning progress has improved rapidly.

Zong Jincheng snorted and said, "Let's go into the examination room and slap them in the face!"

"Um!"

The Fourth Academy Joint Examination simulates the answering time of children's subjects. The content of the test paper is smaller than that of Qingbo Academy's monthly examination, but the difficulty is greatly increased. The test is not only about recitation and translation, but also about understanding and application.

It can be called a small imperial examination.

Fortunately, Zong Jincheng practiced this kind of questions this month, and he answered them very smoothly. After the exam, he was still full of confidence.

The other students in the academy were different. They all came out dejectedly.

"It's over. I probably won't be on the list again this year. The questions are too difficult."

"It's incredible that the other three colleges can do so well every time."

"If the abuse continues like this, I won't dare to take part in the children's department, lest my self-esteem will be damaged."

"Hey, let's go home and continue reading at night."

Others did miserably in the exam, but Zong Jincheng was the most confident after the exam. This feeling that I can do it when others can't is really great, and he felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart.

As for Qin Ye, who is being touted as a genius, just step aside. His master Zong is definitely the first this time!

The carriage of the Marquis Mansion was waiting outside Qingbo Academy. The two brothers Zong Jincheng were about to get on the carriage, but they heard Zong Wenxiu suddenly say: "My jade pendant is missing!"

"Ah? Where was it lost?" Zong Jincheng turned to Shunzi and said, "Go and bring someone to help him find it."

"Yes." Shunzi took the servants and maids to look for him.

Zong Wenxiu was so worried that he followed him back to the academy to look for it, looking at the ground everywhere for fear of being trampled by someone.

Zong Jincheng didn't care much about such accessories. After all, he could use his thousands of taels of jade pendants to pay for a meal. But seeing Zong Wenxiu in such a hurry, he couldn't help but run over to help. try to find.

"What kind of jade pendant is it? Is it expensive? There are too many outsiders coming to the academy today, so I guess I can't find it. Go back and ask Xu Wan to buy you another one."

Anyway, apart from being stingy with him, that woman was generous to everyone else, especially Zong Wenxiu.

He had seen it several times, and Xu Wan often asked people to buy things for Zongwen Monastery.

Zong Wenxiu became more and more anxious as he looked for it, his eyes turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "It was a jade pendant that my father gave to my mother. It was this jade pendant that my grandmother used to discover our existence. My mother handed it over to me. It was given to me, it was me, I didn’t put it away..."

Zong Wenxiu regretted very much now, how could he wear such an important jade pendant on his body? If he could find it back, he would definitely put it away properly and never lose it again!

But there is no way to regret it. It is extremely difficult to find a lost thing.

Zong Wenxiu mustered up the courage and shouted loudly: "Has anyone seen my jade pendant? It is very important to me. If someone picks it up, can you return it to me? Thank you gold for one tael of silver."

According to the laws of the Great Chu State, when lost property is returned, the owner needs to pay a quarter of the price of the lost property as a thank you.

One tael of silver is one quarter of the value of the jade pendant.

There are many people coming and going in the academy. When they heard this, they were only slightly moved for a few seconds. They looked around and didn't find any suspicious jade pendants, so they gave up.

One tael of silver is not a small amount for children of their age, but the tuition fees of Qingbo Academy are expensive. Children who can afford to study here are not short of money, and they don't care about one tael of silver.

No one helped Zong Wenxiu to find it.

Even if he kept shouting, no one helped.

After all, the power of Shunzi and others is limited, and it will take a lot of time to find it.

Zong Wenxiu collapsed and squatted on the ground, tears rolling in his eyes.

"Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's all my fault..."

Zong Jincheng saw that he was not feeling well, so he told Shunzi: "Go and help him shout, just say thank you for 500 taels of gold."

Shunzi: "!!!!"

"Sir, that jade pendant is only worth 4 taels of silver, are you sure you want to spend 500 taels to help Master Xiu get it back?"

That's the price of a Ferghana horse!

Zong Jincheng said unhappily: "Yes, didn't you see that he was about to cry?"

Shunzi hesitated and said: "But you only have 50 taels of private money now..."

This is just what you received this month.
