"What's the matter?" Grandma picked up the sound transmission stone and her tone was not very good.
"Well..." The other end of the voice was choked, and it took a while for Xiang Aai to finish telling the whole story.
Grandma suddenly felt disgusted. You, the fifth elder of your dignified family, still want to ask me about this matter?
"Zhao Ying!" She answered simply and almost without thinking.
She didn't have a good impression of either of these children.
Zhao Ying had bullied Yue'er in her early years, and also tried to bully Yang Zhen. She had a very coquettish temper.
Where is Zhao Lian? Not to mention the past, as far as the luck test the day before yesterday, it was a joke to jump out and find fault with brothers of the same race in front of everyone.
Fortunately, this matter did not cause any adverse consequences, and it was during the selection period, so it was inconvenient for her to deal with it, so as not to reveal the truth, otherwise this child should have been dealt with according to the family law!
Zhao Ying, on the other hand, heard from Yue'er that Yang Zhen lent her a batch of spiritual herbs two days ago to help her tide over the difficulties. From this point of view, she should have gained the understanding of Yang and Zhao.
In this case, how should you choose? Do you still need to consider it?
…
February 14th, early morning, Zhao family residence
Yang Zhen, Zhao Yue'er, and Zhao Ying stood at the door of the store, looking back at the people in the room seeing them off.
The three of them were all dressed in blue sect schoolboy robes, all starched and clean. There is a green silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a light brown storage bag hangs on it, making him look energetic and high-spirited.
Among them, the most excited one is Zhao Ying. After the fifth elder brought back the news of the selection last night, she almost didn't sleep a wink all night.
Her personal maid, Lu Zhi, and Caiyun stood side by side, both of them smiling.
As personal attendants, they will enter the sect in two days to serve their respective little masters.
As for Yang Zhen, Mammy once asked him if he needed any attendants.
He was thinking of two people. One is an iron pillar, but he has already paved a path for the iron pillar, so let him try to walk down it first.
The other person was Cai Si, and the little maid was also very devoted to him during that time.
But, how should I put it? As the saying goes, love develops over time. He is worried that as time goes by and the two of them get older, feelings between a man and a woman will inevitably arise.
What's more, he still has the secret of stone space.
So, forget it!
Lu Li and Huang Bo were also among the people seeing him off. Both of them were smiling and kept saying words of congratulations, but there was an unconcealable envy and loss in their expressions.
Zhao Lian didn't show up, and the Fifth Elder didn't know what he said to him last night. Even in the middle of the night, someone still heard crying coming from his room.
At this time, Yang Zhen walked out of the crowd, came to Qin Wan, knelt down, and kowtowed three times seriously.
"Foster mother," he said respectfully, "my child is going to practice in the sect today. I can't always be filial to you by my side. Please take good care of your body, mother."
Qin Wan's eyes were red, she forced a smile and nodded: "Good boy, get up!"
She chatted with her daughter all night last night and knew that her daughter had a deep love for this boy. So my mentality has changed at this moment. I look at Yang Zhen as if I were choosing a son-in-law. Seeing that he is so polite, I feel relieved.
It's a pity that it was the first time that I felt so caring to my daughter, but we were about to part ways.
"I, Qin Wan, must succeed in building the foundation and stay with my Yue'er for a few more years." She thought silently in her heart.
Yang Zhen came to her grandma again and kowtowed three times.
He was grateful from the bottom of his heart to his grandma. In the past few years, without her care, he would never have been so happy in the Zhao family.
There was a smile in the corner of Mammy's eyes and her voice was soft: "Good boy, even if you go to the sect, you are still a member of my Zhao family. Remember to go home often in the future."
She looked at the sky and reminded everyone: "Let's go, it's getting late."
She will escort the three to the gate of the manor.
…
The four of them rode in a carriage and arrived at the gate of the manor not long after. The nanny gave the three of them a few more words and turned to leave.
After entering the manor, several people walked in silence for a while. Zhao Ying suddenly stopped and bowed to Yang and Zhao.
This is to thank Yang Zhen for her great help during the luck assessment a few days ago.
Without Yang Zhen's fifty spiritual grasses as a foundation, her final score would never be in the top five hundred, let alone compete with Zhao Lian for a spot.
Zhao Yue'er seemed to have suddenly grown up and become sensible since yesterday. She no longer kept a straight face towards Zhao Ying, accepted her thanks and said a few polite words.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the square.
At this time, hundreds of schoolchildren had gathered in the square. They had all been informed last night and rushed over from the town early in the morning.
After a while, about two hundred schoolchildren suddenly swarmed in. These people had been living in the manor and their arrival time was relatively concentrated.
At around 4:00 p.m., all the four hundred selected schoolchildren arrived. Deputy Hall Master Qin stepped onto the high platform and briefly introduced the situation of the selection and assessment of the sect in the past few days.
Later, an elder in purple robe read out the top ten names for this exam. The first one that came to mind was Zhao Yue'er, followed by Yang Zhen who ranked second.
For each schoolchild whose name is read, the mountain chief or prison guard of the county where he is located will come to the stage to receive the award.
Yuan Shanchang went up there twice in a row and ranked first and second. He made a splash in front of the Guanzhou Palace of the entire Xu Kingdom. His old face was radiant and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear for a long time.
In addition to the rewards of spiritual stones and resources, the county where the first place is located will also have three additional selection places next year, and the second place will have two people. The third to the tenth are one person.
In addition, Zhao Yue'er and Yang Zhen also received personal rewards, with one hundred and fifty sect contribution points added to their respective identity tokens.
Yang Zhen didn't feel anything about it yet, but the little girl was smiling happily.
"You will know in the future how useful this thing is!" she told Yang Zhen happily.
After these procedures were completed, a disciple in white took the roster and began to roll call.
Also based on exam results, starting from Zhao Yue'er and Yang Zhen.
The schoolchildren whose names were called boarded a luxurious flying boat docked on the right side of the square in order, and were seated one by one under the guidance of the disciples in white.
After half an hour, the list of four hundred people was checked one by one, and the flying boat took off and flew towards the depths of the Yunxiao Mountains.
The mountains are rolling and the clouds are rolling.
After another half an hour, the flying boat arrived at a very large valley.
There are flowers everywhere around this valley, the trees are evergreen, branches are full of fruits, and birds are flying around. There are also rugged and strange rocks and shallow streams. It is really a beautiful scenery.
In the center of the valley, there is a large area of buildings, including pavilions, pavilions, ponds, pavilions and waterside pavilions, hidden among the mountains and forests; there are also majestic palaces and Yuyu Qiong Towers, standing proudly around the square.
This square is paved with bluestone, surrounded by carved railings and jade. Beyond are green pines and cypresses, and cranes are flying in the sky.
Directly in front of the square is a simple and tall mountain gate. On the bluestone plaque are engraved four gilt characters of "Yunxiao Academy", which shine in the sunlight.
On the stone pillars on both sides, there are two lines of characters carved with dragons and phoenixes dancing.
A disciple pointed to the couplet in the distance and recited aloud: "For eight years, I have lived in Donggu Mountain with deep happiness; I have awakened overnight, and I can fly into the sky and enter the earth to be free."
The flying boat slowly landed in the center of the square.
Yunxiao Academy has arrived.
ps: I thought I could write two chapters in the evening, but I have been holding back until now to finish this chapter.
