After Lao Nie's family learned that Gu Xiao went to the academy to study, the whole family was depressed for several days. Finally, Mrs. Nie couldn't help it and sent Nie Daqiang and his wife to the county to find a literary career to find out.
Nie Wenye hurriedly walked out of the academy, looking around as he walked, for fear that others would see him. After coming out of the academy, I walked around to the alley behind the academy and saw Nie Daqiang and Liu Chunhua waiting there anxiously.
"Father, mother, didn't I tell you not to come to the academy to see me if you have nothing to do? Why are you here again?"
"What's the matter? Something big happened!"
Liu Chunhua shouted at the top of her lungs, but when she saw Nie Wenye glance over at her, she immediately lowered her voice.
"whats the matter?"
Liu Chunhua grabbed Nie Wenye's sleeve, "Did you know that Gu Xiao, the sick boy from Qianqian girl's family, also went to your academy to study?"
How could Nie Wenye not know this? He knew it as early as the first day Gu Xiao was admitted to the hospital. He recalled the day when Vice President Li came to see him.
Dean Qiu thought carefully and did not inform the students in the college that Gu Xiao got perfect marks on the "abnormal" exam paper.
The first is that he is afraid that this matter will bring too much attention to Gu Xiao, causing unnecessary pressure and affecting his studies; the second is that he is afraid of irritating the students who have been studying hard for many years in the college, if they know about a poor scholar who has not yet been admitted to the hospital. Getting full marks in the exam will actually affect the students' mentality, which is detrimental to everyone.
But Dean Qiu immediately told Vice President Li about this matter and praised Vice President Li for his sharp eyesight. He could tell at a glance that Gu Xiao was unusual and actually used this examination paper to test his proficiency. .
Vice Dean Li's mood was very complicated and unspeakable. He originally wanted to use this test paper to kill that boy's arrogance, but he didn't expect that he would get a perfect score and slapped himself in the face. Although others didn't understand that he had been slapped in the face, he still felt suffocated.
He had heard people mention the relationship between Gu Xiao and Nie Wenye before, and he was Nie Wenye's teacher, so he called Nie Wenye in for questioning.
Vice President Li: "I heard that Gu Xiaonai is your brother-in-law. Is this true?"
Nie Wenye didn't expect that Vice President Li came to him alone to ask about Gu Xiao. He was stunned for a moment, nodded respectfully and replied: "To tell you my wife, Gu Xiao is the husband of my second uncle's sister Nie Qianqian."
Speaking of Nie Qianqian, Vice President Li snorted coldly, that girl really doesn't know her etiquette. She and Nie Wenye grew up in the same family, so how could their etiquette and upbringing be so different?
Vice President Li: "In that case, you should know him very well. Did he really never study before entering the academy? Did he ask a teacher to teach him his studies?"
Nie Wenye wondered why Vice President Li would ask such a question, and answered truthfully, "No, I just knew some words and copied books in the library."
Vice Dean Li suddenly raised his voice, "How is that possible! This guy got full marks on the test paper that Dean Qiu personally issued. How is it possible that he has never studied!"
You can gain knowledge just by copying books in the library. With such knowledge, people in this world will stop reading and just go to the library to copy books!
He has different thinking from Dean Qiu. Dean Qiu believes that there are huge differences between people, so he should teach students in accordance with their aptitude and recognize the existence of genius.
He doesn't think so. He believes that although people have different understandings and memories, whether they can succeed in the imperial examination depends on whether they study hard and work hard. He is not a genius, and he doesn't believe it. There is genius in this matter. Any natural differences can be leveled out through acquired efforts.
Nie Wenye was a thousand times more shocked than Vice President Shang Li.
Full marks? ? ? ! ! !
He has been studying this test paper for many years and has been tested many times according to Dean Qiu's instructions. He has never given a full score. This is just the first time for Gu Xiao to take the test, so how can he get a perfect score!
Nie Wenye didn't say anything for a long time, thinking over and over how it was possible! There must be something wrong! There must be something wrong!
Vice President Li saw him stunned and called him, "Wenye??"
Nie Wenye came to his senses, but he still didn't believe that Gu Xiao could get full marks.
He considered his words and spoke slowly, "It is true that Gu Xiao has never asked Mr. Xi to teach. In the past few years, he has been copying books in the library. He also knows many students in the academy and is familiar with Jiang Wenxuan. Maybe he has already... ··”
Vice Dean Li: "What you mean is that he has probably seen this test paper a long time ago and has taken this test paper countless times in private over the past few years."
This is what Nie Wenye guessed. When he saw that the guidance was successful, he lowered his head with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Students don't dare to think like this. It's not good for a gentleman to judge others behind their backs."
Vice President Li thought for a while and did not ask any more questions. He nodded and asked him to retreat.
But what Nie Wenye said had a bud in Vice President Li's heart. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was very possible!
He knew Jiang Wenxuan. He was good at making friends, and sometimes he spoke unabashedly. It was unknown if he took the academy's confidential test papers to Gu Xiao to read.
Vice President Li snorted. He knew there must be something fishy about this matter. He never believed that Gu Xiao could get perfect marks in the first try.
Even if Gu Xiao had seen the test paper before and spent several years studying it repeatedly, it was already difficult to get a perfect score. Why bother to hide it? It was just to attract others' attention and to gain fame.
He snorted coldly, "A child with bad conduct cannot be taught. I want to see how far he can go on the road to the imperial examination."
Nie Wenye recalled the conversation with Vice President Li, and was a little lost for a moment. Liu Chunhua tugged on his sleeve again, "Wenye, I want to ask you something, do you know?"
Nie Wenye said calmly: "I know."
Nie Daqiang's expression changed, "How does this Gu Xiao deserve to study in the academy? Who is he? Your Dean Qiu came to our village, talking about exams and perfect scores! What the hell is going on!"
Liu Chunhua repeated with an uneasy look on her face, "Yes, what's going on?"
Nie Wenye looked at the two of them and said calmly: "Qianqian is acquainted with the county magistrate, and it was only through the magistrate's recommendation that Gu Xiao was admitted to the hospital to study."
Liu Chunhua said harshly: "Isn't this just a back door? This girl is really shameless. She has nothing to do with the county magistrate. She even sent her good-for-nothing husband to study in the academy. That's where someone like him should go. Is it a place? It’s all in vain. Why don’t you go and copy more books and earn more tuition for my brother?”
Nie Wenye: "Mom, be careful, my second aunt and the others have divorced."
"What's wrong with Heli? When she marries your second uncle, she will be his and his ghost when she is born. She should contribute to the Nie family for one day of her life. This matter between her and your second uncle has been brought to the county government. We went, it was the county magistrate who forced us to make peace with each other. After waiting for this period of limelight, we are looking down upon them as orphans and widows, and they have to come back to join your second uncle."
Nie Daqiang saw his wife mumbling nonsense and hurriedly interrupted her, "Why are you talking to Wen Ye about these unimportant things!"
Nie Daqiang: "Wen Ye, what do they mean by full marks in the exam?"
What kind of exam could make the dean pay so much attention to it that he would go to the village? Isn't it possible that Gu Xiao is a young scholar and has a better literary career than his family?
Seeing Nie Daqiang waiting for his answer with a worried look on his face, Nie Wenye felt extremely embarrassed. How could Gu Xiao, who was looked down upon by the whole family, be weighing down on him.
"He said he got full marks in the entrance exam, but our vice-dean said that Gu Xiao has been copying books in the library for many years, so he may have seen this test paper a long time ago!"
Liu Chunhua immediately beamed with joy and clapped her hands, "I knew it was really cheating. A disabled loser can still get full marks in the exam. Your dean is the only one who is old and dim. Trust him!"
Nie Daqiang was obviously relieved and shouted to Liu Chunhua: "You are talking nonsense again. This is near the academy. You are talking nonsense. Don't let others hear you. It will affect the literary industry."
Liu Chunhua quickly covered her mouth, "Look at my mouth. I don't have a doorkeeper. Let's leave quickly. Don't delay your literary studies."
Nie Daqiang warned: "Wenye, study hard and don't worry about family matters. That Gu Xiao is a loser who cheated. As time goes by, everyone will know."
Nie Wenye nodded and said nothing more to the two of them. He watched the two of them go away, thinking to himself:
His guess was definitely not wrong. Gu Xiao had never studied or studied since he entered his house. He had neglected his studies for three years. It was impossible for him to have such profound knowledge by copying books.
He just learned calligraphy when he was young and his calligraphy is good. As long as he is in the academy for a day, he will not let Gu Xiao pass him.
