Chapter 152 Country bumpkin
Daqi Academy is very famous throughout the continent. It has many classes, from high to low, from large to small. There are many categories and grades.
Among them, those with outstanding knowledge are the most respected.
Chen Ran is now the best among them.
When Chen Ran returned to Beijing with his uncle, he met with his great-grandfather and great-uncle. After a conversation, the most serious incident in history took place between Chu Huaiyuan, the great-grandfather, who was the emperor's tutor, and Chu Zhaoheng, his great-uncle, who was serving as a wine sacrificer for the Imperial Academy.
A dispute.
Both men wanted to teach Chen Ran personally, and both said that his future achievements would never be lower than Cui Zhifan. In order to compete for this closed disciple, the father and son even "attacked" each other.
This scene was seen by the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who came as a guest. In order to prevent the "war" from continuing, the academy immediately decided to admit Chen Ran into the academy.
The two eldest heads of the Chu family agreed to the conditions for Chen Ran's admission, which was to go to the college every ten days to provide on-the-spot guidance on Chen Ran's studies and give lessons to the college students.
When the dean of the Academy of Chinese Studies left the Chu Mansion, his face was red and he was humming a little tune.
Anyone who sees it can guess that he is in the Chu family's favor again.
That's right. He took away a genius who only appears once in a hundred years and became a student of his own college. How can he be dissatisfied?
No matter what achievements Chen Ran achieves as a civil servant in the future, others will remember that the first school he entered after entering Beijing was the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Whether or not he will enter the Imperial College later is another matter.
Jiabao'er was able to qualify to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences because of Chen Ran and the Chu family.
The dean thinks that Chen Ran is a genius, and Chen Ran’s younger sister can’t be wrong either.
Immediately with a stroke of the pen, it was done.
…
Cui Zhifan is taking a rest today and will take his whole family to pay his respects to his grandfather.
The men in black were interrogated for several days, which delayed the time for greetings.
Cui Mansion's two sons and daughter, who had just returned, also went with everyone.
The eldest, Cui Shi, is fourteen years old this year, and the second oldest, Cui Zhe, is eleven years old. They also have a seven-year-old daughter named Cui Xiaomei, who has bright eyes, white teeth, and is quiet and elegant.
As soon as they saw the chubby Garbo, the brothers and sisters couldn't hide their love for her, and they were vying to sit with her.
But Jiabaoer looked at Cui Xiaomei with starry eyes, "Sister, from now on Jiabaoer will also have a sweet-smelling sister."
"Yes, my sister is also studying in the academy and she is doing very well. How about you and your sister go to the academy together from tomorrow and come back together after school?" Ms. Cui said quickly.
Jiabao'er's little face suddenly collapsed, and her head began to grow again when she thought of the words drawn one by one in the book.
As soon as he turned around and saw his eldest brother, Xiaotuanzi nuzzled his way to his side and said, "Brother, please pull out a hair and give it to me."
Chen Ran, "What?"
"No, it's nothing," Jiabaoer saw everyone's curious looks from the corner of her eyes and waved her hands quickly, "I just think you are good at reading. Maybe you can even read on your hair. I want to put one in my purse for blessing.
I am good at reading."
"Pfft," everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jiabao'er drooped her little head sadly and climbed into the carriage behind Cui Xiaomei.
If I had known better, I would not have burned Wenchang Xingjun's hair to ashes for my brother to drink. It would be better if I drank it myself.
No, my brother gave him a drink because he was born to be good at reading. If I can't do it myself, I haven't fallen in love with reading even after living in Wenchang Xingjun Palace for so long. What's the use of drinking some hair water?
I always wanted to call Cui Xiaomei "sister" all the time, and from time to time I would open the curtain to see what was being sold outside.
An hour later, Chu Mansion arrived.
Outside the Chu Mansion, there was a gorgeous carriage parked.
There were silver bells hanging on the four corners of the carriage and a golden emblem with the word "Thank you" on it. There were several guards escorting the carriage.
Cui Zhifan frowned.
Thanks?
The four major princes in the capital are the Lu family of Zhenbei, the Xie family of Anding, the Guan family of Xuanping, and the Tang family of Huaijiang.
Several major families are related by marriage to each other and support each other. They are quite powerful in the capital, and ordinary officials do not dare to offend them.
Except for my grandfather Chu family.
I heard that the Xie family had come to beg for help several times, hoping that the Xie family’s legitimate sons and daughters would become the disciples of the Chu family, but Chu Zhaoheng refused them all.
Looking at this situation, the Xie family came to the door again today.
"Brother, this Chu family is so disrespectful. Since they don't want to accept us as their disciples, why do we have to come and suffer this humiliation?"
A tender voice came from the carriage.
"Don't talk nonsense, what do you know?" A young man's voice also came out.
After saying that, he opened the curtain and looked outside.
Just as the eyes of Cui Zhifan, Chen Ran and others met, the young man looked at the carriage behind him indifferently. It was ordinary, and at first glance it was not a Marquis.
Then he turned around and lowered the curtain.
Suddenly, something clicked in the young man's mind.
The Cui emblem on the carriage?
The curtain was suddenly opened, and the young man poked his face out again.
Behind him, a four or five-year-old girl also put her face to the car window, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
His eyes drifted towards the carriage outside.
The little girl snorted softly.
His posture is arrogant, and he faintly reveals a temperament that makes people afraid to get close to him.
"The same goes for the Chu family. All the cats and dogs are invited to join in the fun. Look at these people dragging their families with them, looking like dirt in the country. If they were outside our door, we would have asked the servants to drive them away."
Chen Ran frowned.
He knew that this arrogant girl was talking about his family.
The young man quickly covered his sister's mouth with his hand, "Keep your voice down, that person in front is Master Cui, and Chu Zhaoheng is his uncle."
"Uncle...uncle?" The girl saw out curiously, "Master Cui is a relative of the Chu family, and the group of country bumpkins following him are not."
The young man slammed down the curtain, turned around and gave his sister a fierce look.
"How many times have I told you to be careful when speaking, but you just don't listen. If those words were heard by them and reached the ears of the Chu family, do you still want the Chu family to accept us?"
The girl was a little unhappy after being scolded, her face darkened immediately, and she pursed her lips and said: "We have been here so many times and have not been allowed in. Where does the Chu family have the guts to do this to us? It's not just dad and you.
Vertical."
The more she spoke, the more she couldn't hold back her anger. She lifted the curtain and said to the guard standing outside: "If you go to ask for permission again, I don't believe you can't get in through this door of the Chu family."
The young man didn't stop her. He also wanted to go in as soon as possible. Otherwise, his trip would be in vain, and his father would call him a waste when he returned.
He is Xie Changan, the legitimate son of Marquis Anding, who is thirteen years old this year. The girl is his sister, Xie Wanying, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Anding, who is five years old this year.
Xie Changan leaned back in his seat and waited for the guard to come forward to negotiate with the concierge.
There were quite a few people coming to the Cui family today, and they just got off the carriage.
"My master doesn't see any foreigners, so I would like to invite you to go back." The concierge said calmly.
The guard's face darkened, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Brother, please inform me. Your Excellency is the number one scholar in the world. My eldest son admires your talents and studies, and sincerely came to see you. Please take note of your eldest son's painstaking efforts and help me pass it on my behalf."
Send a message."
