Chapter 9: The Overthrown Uncle Qian
Chapter 9 Uncle Qian was pushed down
On this day, Hongmeng Academy’s admissions assessment for the new school year was completely completed.
Ranking first on the overall list is actually a foreigner, Prince of Food Abbas.
Prince Abbas is actually the hostage of the Great Food Kingdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty as a guarantee of non-aggression. He is an exotic and handsome man. His tall and muscular figure completely crushes the limits of the Great Zhou race. Coupled with his fair skin, he is tall and handsome.
His nose, hair like gold and blue eyes as clear as gems, how beautiful he is. But he has been living in Dazhou since he was eight years old, and is used to the local customs. He speaks in authentic Mandarin and is full of the noble spirit of being knowledgeable and reasonable.
He has a gentlemanly temperament. His outstandingly handsome face will definitely make a young girl feel ashamed and a middle-aged woman want to scream.
Ranked second is Prince Ji Guangli of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the youngest brother of the current emperor. Yes, the late emperor who has abdicated has nothing to do in his spare time. As a result of appreciating beauties, he actually gave the current emperor a younger brother than the prince.
One year old brother.
Although it is embarrassing, as a prince with a very special status, Ji Guangli lived a very happy life. Not only could he live in the capital for a long time, but he was also very favored. The name of the current emperor is Ji Guang, and his name is "Guangli". It is clear that he wants to be prosperous today.
, without any disobedience, so both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor of Zhou doted on him, even more than the prince. He was a handsome imperial brother, charming, very smart and had no airs. He didn't know how to act as soon as he left the imperial city.
He conquered the hearts of many young girls in Zhou Dynasty.
Ranked third is Lu Zishu.
Although Lu Zishu did well in the written examination and interview, she lacked bonus points in the internal examination that determines the overall ranking.
Among the students who have been selected, Hongmeng Academy will conduct a thorough examination with many options, called the "internal examination." Prince Abbas is good at riding and shooting, has outstanding martial arts, and is also good at rhythmic dancing; while Prince Guangli is like a fifth-level master of the Art of War.
Level 4, level 4 in the classics, outstanding in strategy. Both of them are both civil and military, and have many bonus points. However, Lu Zishu only excelled in dancing in the internal examination, and she got a slight bonus. The woman can get a lot of bonus points.
She is very average in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although her attainments in classics are very good, she is not as good as Prince Guangli, and she did not take the martial arts test, so she ranked third in the overall list.
Even so, it is very surprising. Lu Zishu's average results, the average results in each subject were added up, and she actually became the top three. There is no other secret, few mistakes, and it all depends on stability.
The daughter of a county magistrate, with a very average average score, can be ranked in the top three with a prince or a prince. This influence is more grand in the environment of Hongmeng Academy than the top three high schools in the imperial examination.
Especially the imperial concubine's grace, she was given a purple gold ruler and appointed as the "Secretary and Female History". When the academy's chief examiner, the Heavenly Official, commended her in public at the opening ceremony, the whole academy was in a state of shock.
With the ruler in hand, she can punish the princess. When the teacher is inconvenient, Lu Zishu can do it for her. What a transcendent status this is? Some people were amazed, some were jealous, some secretly drew circles, and some immediately wanted to make some friends.
When Lu Zishu stepped forward gracefully and accepted the imperial decree to thank him, the eyes of countless boys quietly became fiery. This delicate figure and gentle face like spring water made people feel love and affection after seeing it.
It's a good thing that such a beautiful woman was never killed on the way. That incident became a household name in Wangjing. It was so famous.
Among the crowd watching the ceremony, Prince Ji Chongli, a senior student under the banner of Xiaoyun, suddenly tightened his finger-wearing hand and inadvertently grasped the bamboo folding fan in his palm and broke the fan bone.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" A girl with excellent appearance and temperament noticed something strange.
"It's nothing." The prince smiled gently, his eyes seemed to be soothing the girl beside him, but when he looked back, he still quietly stared at Lu Zishu.
What a beautiful person. It was as if the person in the painting had come to the world. Even the fairies in the Heavenly Palace could not match this endearing tenderness. But he could feel the tenacity and arrogance hidden in her bones. This was by no means an ordinary woman. She
She is not beautiful, she is perfect! Only he, only he, a prince who has suffered a similar experience, can see at a glance the power of restraint and forbearance in such a situation of great pressure!
But what is she enduring?
"There is something fishy about this matter, and it may involve the academy. You might as well go and investigate the assassination of Miss Lu." The prince said calmly to the people beside him, his voice seemed gentle and majestic.
Surrounded by the flattering sounds of classmates, His Royal Highness is really upright and cares for his classmates. If someone really pays to assassinate him for the purpose of enrolling in his school, then such a black sheep must not stay in Hongmeng Academy.
"Quiet!" Immortal Master Si Li shouted softly, making everyone quiet down.
In Hongmeng Academy, the prince is just a nominal disciple in the mortal world. The so-called disciples in the world are not even disciples of the nine major sects.
On the Tiangang Tower, Hongmeng Ancestor, who had been practicing in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was not the opening ceremony, but staring at Fangshi Street at the entrance to the mountain. His white eyebrows more than two feet long were dancing in the wind like a long snake, and the art of Tianyan was
The light wheel created replaced billions of stars in the dark chamber, and gradually disappeared with the brilliance radiating from the ancestor's eyes.
"The white moon enters the moon, the hidden dragon enters the abyss, and the stars shift?!" The originally clear astrolabe changed at this moment, and the future changed.
————————
Tianmenfang City starts from the mountain gate and ends at the gate of the academy. It is a market built using resting places along the mountain road.
It has a large area. Students can walk out and people from outside can walk in. It is such an intersection area.
Uncle Qian, the general manager of the academy, does not rub sand in his eyes. Businesses that are not needed by the academy and things that disciples should not see will be blasted out with a broom. All goods brought in need to be strictly inspected and do not meet the standards of the academy.
Nothing is allowed to be sold, and the quality must be guaranteed.
Although the control is strict, the things that Fangshi Street operates are far more complicated than ordinary Fangshi Streets, because the requirements for use are often very high.
Inns where relatives and friends come to visit, and food stalls to satisfy their cravings. In addition to these groceries that ordinary people also need, there are also mercenaries who need to be hired to complete tasks, materials needed to refine elixirs, the four treasures of the study that consume a lot of money, musical instruments,
Clothing, a blacksmith shop for customizing and repairing weapons, tea, flowers, potted plants, ritual utensils necessary for learning etiquette, etc., etc.
The huge area is occupied by various shops and stalls. It is open to the public every holiday, and many people come here specifically to buy and sell some rare items, which feels like a temple fair.
It can be imagined that it is very difficult to obtain a business license from Tianmenfang City.
But fortunately, Xie Wushuang is not a stranger to Manager Qian now because he failed in applying for a swordsmanship instructor.
After investigation, it was found that Xie Wushuang was indeed a hero. He had just fought with a group of gangsters for two hours, and had already exhausted his energy when he competed with Ni Feihong. Although this could not change the result of the admission, it was still a bit pitiful.
So Manager Qian received Xie Wushuang and Lu Ziqing very politely. In any case, the relationship between Tianqing Sect and Hongmeng Sect is more real than gold.
Then an extremely comfortable sound came from the supervisor's room on Fangshi Street. People passing by couldn't help but turn their heads to listen. What was going on inside? It sounded like Miss Xie pushed down Uncle Qian?
After a long time, Uncle Qian sent Lu Ziqing and Xie Wushuang out of the office feeling refreshed.
Xie Wushuang said gratefully: "Thank you, Chief Manager."
Manager Qian waved his hand: "What are you talking about? Miss Xie is indeed a disciple of Tianqing Sect. Her techniques are unique, and my old waist no longer hurts. Although Miss Xie, you have not been able to become a swordsmanship instructor, I think this massage parlor is the best."
It's a big surprise that will definitely be of great benefit to the entire academy. But there are only two of you among the three thousand disciples in the academy, so I'm afraid the manpower is still insufficient."
"Brother Lu and I have just started." Xie Wu held the business license in both hands and expressed his gratitude with a smile.
Hongmeng Academy covers an area of tens of thousands of acres, and there is plenty of land, but the rent is not cheap.
Lu Ziqing rented a secluded courtyard, with the inner and outer rooms connected to a piece of wasteland. It was not even facing the street, and the rent already cost twenty taels of silver a month.
The average annual household income of the people in Dazhou is two taels of silver, so you can imagine how expensive the rent is. But the front rooms and every stall here are quite profitable. Academy disciples are not allowed to walk out of the gate casually, and they can only buy whatever they want.
It is settled in Tianmenfang City, and the freight is recognized, so the most common products can be sold at a price that is 20% higher here. It is normal for some high-end products to be sold at twice the price.
At this time, many people were looking at Xie Wushuang and Lu Ziqing, very curious.
Someone recognized that this girl came to apply for a job two days ago, but Xie Wushuang was beaten violently by Ni Feihong. He couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous: "This girl Xie didn't leave. She even shamelessly bribed the money manager. Could it be that she used some shady tactics?"
The number of roads?”
"Manager Qian must have been well served. Didn't you hear the sound coming from the manager's room just now?"
The female shopkeeper who sold medicinal herbs sighed, she didn't expect a disciple of Tianqing Sect to do such a shameless thing. However, a group of stinky men talked non-stop as if they had been beaten to death. There was nothing I could do, Xie Wushuang was so beautiful.
, with a pure face and a good figure.
"They look for houses that don't face the street, so they can only do those shady businesses."
"Manager Qian usually doesn't have a lot of food and salt, but I didn't expect that he is also a pervert."
"You won't be here for a few days, and you will be kicked out." The fierce female general in armor held an iron gun in her hand and cursed at the whimsical mercenaries around her.
Those obscene things, don’t blame me for doing you a life-threatening mission without saying a word.”
Completely ignoring the commotion they caused in Fangshi Street, Lu Ziqing and Xie Wushuang were busy preparing for the massage parlor.
Xie Wushuang thinks this plan is really good, because such a house can be used for business during the day and closed at night for sleeping, and even a place to live is provided.
"Now can we start learning the exercises secretly?" Xie Wushuang was very positive.
"Don't always talk about what's in your heart." Lu Ziqing couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He just wanted to learn some very basic entry-level skills, basic skills that all disciples in the world could learn, but he ended up acting like a thief.
You might say it's because of your pride, but you can pinch people's feet without caring. Lu Ziqing yelled at the head: "Can the scholar's affairs be called stealing?"
I didn’t expect to sign the contract so quickly. I’m so happy. I also received the first starting point coin as a reward today. I’m going to work hard and save my manuscript!
Chapter completed!
