Final exams are not just a formality.
Li Qinzai is very lazy. Because of his laziness, every bit of effort he spends on labor must be cherished.
After spending half the night, Li Qinzai compiled three sets of exam questions.
The questions are divided into age groups. A dozen students will do one set for those over eight years old, another set for those under eight years old, and the third set is for Qiao'er alone.
Qiao'er's learning was already far ahead of Li Sujie and the others. She had basically reached the level of the third or fourth grade of elementary school and could easily do comprehensive arithmetic problems. However, the dudes were still grinding their teeth to conquer two-digit division.
Although he usually said it was unfair, Li Qinzai still treated everyone fairly during the exam.
Each age group has different brain development and different understanding abilities, so the questions prepared by Li Qinzai for them are also of different levels of difficulty.
At noon in the afternoon, the exam started on time.
Li Sujie and others sat on their own chairs, and each was given a set of test papers. Li Qinzai crossed his legs and watched them scratching their heads and doing the questions with a leisurely expression.
Being an exam invigilator for the first time in his two lives, Li Qinzai suddenly became more aware of being a teacher.
He found that he didn't actually need to look at the final test scores. He could roughly know what the average score of the class was from the students' demeanor during the test.
For example, at this moment, Li Sujie frowned, the brush in his hand hovered on the paper, and he did not write for a long time.
Li Xian was sweating on his forehead and his face was pale. He stared at the test paper as if he was seeing a natural enemy.
Qi Bizhen gritted her teeth, looked at her with hateful eyes and wrote as sharply as a knife, mistaking the title for her father's murderer.
Shangguan Kun'er chose to lie down, biting her fingers for a while, looking up at the beams in a daze, but in short, not looking at the test paper. The cute useless look was so cute.
Only Qiao'er wrote quickly with a contemptuous expression, as if the questions Li Qinzai asked had not touched the bottom line of his knowledge, and he was a proper academic figure.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but cast approving glances at Qiao'er.
You can't blame him for preferring his biological son. In fact, his biological son did not disappoint him. Even if there is no father-son relationship, the teacher will be more doting on the top student. This is the nature written in human genes.
Love the good ones more, and eliminate the wastes. Survival of the fittest is the law of nature.
An hour later, Li Qinzai knocked on the table and announced that the paper was to be handed in.
There was a sudden cry in the classroom.
Everyone took the time to scribble, a typical example of someone jumping over the wall in a hurry.
Shangguan Kun'er, who chose to lie down, finally became anxious, but instead of writing, he grinned and cried.
Qiao'er calmly handed over the test paper, looking so confident that he didn't even bother to pay attention to the test paper, but whispered: "Dad, firecrackers, firecrackers..."
Li Qinzai said helplessly: "I'll do it tonight..."
Qiao'er ran out happily.
Seeing the chaos in the classroom with wolves running around and swarms of demons howling, Li Qinzai snorted and sneered, deciding to give these dudes another shot. This New Year would not be easy for everyone.
"The ugly word is up front. The one with the lowest score will be expelled from school. He will not come after the spring of next year. Let your parents hire someone else. By the way, the test results will be sent to your homes before New Year's Day. .”
Unsurprisingly, everyone's expressions were filled with fear and fear, and their original expressions of eagerness to return instantly turned into timidity about being close to home.
Li Qinzai said leisurely: "Those who have not been eliminated, don't be too happy too early. After the spring, I will hold a parent-teacher meeting. The so-called 'parents meeting' means inviting your fathers to come. Let us all gather together and I will chat with your fathers." I will talk about your various performances during your studies, both good and bad."
Smiling maliciously at everyone, Li Qinzai curled up his lips and said, "You might as well recall your performance this semester. Whether you will get beaten depends on whether your horoscopes were born by coincidence or not."
"When you go out to study, you always have to pay back."
After a brief silence in the classroom, a louder wail suddenly erupted.
"Sir, please show mercy!"
"Sir, don't kill them all!"
"Leave us a way to survive!"
Li Qinzai sorted out the test papers easily and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, everyone, and may you get rich. Okay, I'm announcing that it's winter vacation."
After speaking, Li Qinzai left.
Such wonderful news about the winter vacation did not make the dandies cheer, and the classroom was still wailing.
Everyone looked at each other, like a group of defeated soldiers who were chased to the end by the enemy and were just waiting to wipe their necks.
"Everyone, I'm afraid we'll have to meet again in the next life." Qi Bizhen trembled with her lips and fists as she explained the funeral arrangements.
"I planted a willow tree outside my house. Don't forget to water it all the time. Remember your classmates. Burn incense sticks to me every Qingming Festival. Occasionally weed and weed my grave. It's best to be sad and don't laugh. Don't sing or dance on my grave... "
Li Xian said with a dark face: "Isn't it...?"
"As for that, my father beat me very hard. If Mr. Li held any 'parent-teacher meeting' after spring, I probably wouldn't survive." Qi Bizhen sighed sadly.
Li Sujie looked gloomy. He found that he had made many mistakes in the test paper just now.
It was unlikely that his father would beat him, but he still felt scared.
Rather than being beaten, Li Sujie was more afraid of his father's indifference towards him.
His mother has passed away, but now the queen is still her mother's life-and-death enemy. If his grades are not satisfactory, his father will be even more disappointed in him. From then on, he will become more and more lonely and helpless in the palace.
Li Xian's face didn't look any better.
Although he won't be beaten, don't forget that his mother is Empress Wu, who has a strong personality and is very strict with her children's education. If his test scores are a mess, what will happen to him?
Gritting his teeth, Li Sujie sighed: "Just accept your fate and go back to Chang'an first."
Their luggage had been packed long ago. The disciples bid farewell to Li Qinzai respectfully, then boarded their carriages and left.
…………
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Sujie and Li Xian were summoned by Li Zhi and Queen Wu as soon as they returned to the palace.
There were several huge copper stoves at the four corners and in the center of the Chengxiang Hall. The hall was warm and cozy. Li Zhi and Empress Wu were obviously in a good mood, and specially ordered a banquet to be prepared for the two princes who were studying in Baili.
The two princes were underage, so there was no singing or dancing in the palace, just a simple family banquet.
Li Zhi's face was rosy and he laughed heartily. Empress Wu smiled gracefully and diligently carried vegetables for Li Zhi. Li Zhi would take a sip from the cup from time to time. The cup was not wine, but water soaked in shredded ginkgo leaves that Li Qinzai suggested he drink.
After the food was over, Li Zhi finally got down to business. What made Li Sujie and Li Xian feel a little relieved was that what Li Zhi was talking about was not the test results.
"Sujie, I have read the letter you ordered to be delivered to the palace yesterday." Li Zhi took a sip of water and said slowly: "The thing called the 'Firecracker' created by Li Jingchu really made the sound of thunder. , and has the power to destroy rocks and fortresses?"
Li Sujie stood up and said respectfully: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and the King of England's brother also saw it with my own eyes."
Li Zhi's eyes turned to Li Xian.
Li Xian also stood up and said: "I did see it, and the sound of thunder was confirmed to be true, but the power of destroying rocks and fortresses... I didn't pay attention to it."
Li Sujie sighed: "You only heard the sound, but you never noticed that after the firecrackers exploded, the soil on the ground was turned over, leaving small craters. The firecrackers are no more than the size of a little finger, and a small amount of explosives can make craters." .”
"If I change the container to a larger one, increase the amount of medicine, and use it on Master Wang, I think it can give our Master Wang of the Tang Dynasty an indestructible weapon. This thing is more magical than the Divine Arm Bow."
Li Zhi and Empress Wu's eyes lit up, and they quickly exchanged glances.
Li Zhi couldn't help but lean forward and said, "Does Li Jingchu have an explanation?"
Li Sujie said slowly: "There were many people present at that time. After everyone dispersed, I turned around again and asked Mr. Li alone for advice. Mr. Li said personally that this thing is indeed of great use in the army. If it is used to attack a city, it will be strong enough to be destroyed; if it is used in a plain battle, it will be destructive and invincible."
Li Zhi was shocked and his breathing became rapid.
"Is this true? Is there such a sharp weapon in the world created by Li Jingchu?"
"I don't dare to tell lies. This was all said by Mr. Li himself. At that time, I also thought this thing was extraordinary, so I asked Mr. Li to keep the secret recipe carefully and not to reveal even a word to outsiders. Mr. Li agreed. ”
Li Zhi stood up awkwardly, his chest heaving and his face flushed unconsciously.
Empress Wu hurriedly supported him and said softly: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you should not be excited. In the end, seeing is believing for everything in the world."
Li Zhi calmed down, sat back, and said slowly: "If Jingchu said this himself, I believe him."
"This is such a serious matter that I must summon Jingchu back to Chang'an to report the matter." Li Zhi said solemnly.
