Wei Ci seemed to see through Feng Gui's worry and comforted him with a smile, "All the famous scholars know their limits. The exam questions will not be too difficult for the students."
Feng Gui forced a smile. If Wei Ci hadn't said that, he wouldn't have been worried. Now that he said that, he felt less confident.
The famous scholars of the Golden Scale Academy naturally knew their limits, but the Duke of Lanting, who set the exam questions, was someone who didn't follow the rules.
Feng Gui didn't dare to think about the difficulty of the exam this time.
Feng Gui was deeply worried, but there were also some heartless fathers, such as Feng Zhen, who could not stop talking.
Wei Ci wasn't far from him and couldn't help but feel sorry for Feng Yi.
Today was Feng Yi's big day. It was good for Feng Zhen to be worried, but why didn't he react at all?
Feng Zhen smiled as he took a handful of raisins from the snack plate and said, "What's there to worry about? If he can't pass, he can repeat the exam."
Wei Ci and Feng Gui were shocked.
Was Feng Zhen being serious?
Wei Ci said, "This is the first batch. It's significant. Failing the exam and having to repeat the exam, aren't you afraid that Rong Li won't be able to take the blow?"
Although the possibility of this was small, what if something unexpected happened? For example, if he didn't know everything in the exam, or if he guessed wrong?
Feng Zhen tilted his head and thought seriously before replying, "If that's the case, repeating the exam is a good thing. If he can't take this blow, what kind of achievements can he make in the future? He might as well continue to stay in the Golden Scale Academy and enjoy its protection, being a fool who only knows how to drop books. Anyway, Madam still has one in her stomach. If Rong Li can't make it, then we'll nurture the next one. "
From a certain perspective, Feng Zhen was a devil with small accounts.
He had a strange obsession and fondness for new accounts, but he was not interested in old accounts that he had already raised.
He was a classic case of forgetting his old love with a new love. How could Feng Yi be more likable than an unborn son?
As soon as he said this, Feng Gui noticed that his second brother, who was a few seats away, suddenly turned his head and stared at Feng Zhen with his Death Stare.
Feng Gui was stunned. He then remembered that Feng Zhen's eldest son, Feng Yi, was his second brother's future son-in-law. If Feng Yi didn't do well, not only would he lose face for Feng Zhen, he would also lose face for Feng Jin. Feng Jin was a misogynist. He wouldn't tolerate his daughter marrying poorly.
Feng Zhen sensed something and followed his intuition to look over. Coincidentally, his eyes met Feng Jin's Death Stare.
He laughed awkwardly and said, "Rong Li is talented and attentive to the assessment. Not to mention the top three, but the top ten is definitely not a problem!"
Wei Ci saw that Feng Zhen had no backbone and could not help but secretly give him a kick.
Noticing that Feng Jin's gaze had become even more unfriendly, Feng Zhen kept a smile on his face, but he was cursing in his heart. He wanted to beat Wei Ci to death with the soles of his shoes.
He unilaterally announced that he had completely severed all ties with Wei Ci, his friend who had a kind face but a wicked heart!
"This child is born at the right time … I wonder if it's a good thing or a bad thing …"
Feng Zhen had just sworn an oath to cut all ties with them when he heard Xu Ke sigh to Zhang Ping, who was sitting next to him.
Zhang Ping smiled and continued, "How is it a bad thing?"
Xu Ke said, "This year's students are between seventeen and eighteen years old. What were we doing at this age?"
Zhang Ping fell into deep thought, not knowing how to answer.
When their generation reached this age, they naturally began to work hard to make a living, and at the same time, they had to study hard.
Why was it said that it was difficult to study from a poor family?
Precious and profound books were all in the hands of the aristocrats. If you wanted to study, you had to visit them. You might not even have a chance to take a look at the books even if you tried your best to persuade them.
Because of the complicated environment, they learned early on how to use what they learned for their own benefit.
On the other hand, the students of the Golden Scale Academy had come at a good time. Sometimes thinking about it made one feel jealous.
The students of the Golden Scale Academy had been studying for eleven or twelve years. What they worried about the most every day was not where to get books to study or how to manage their family business and make a living. Instead, they worried about how to finish the seemingly endless textbooks and how to finish the homework given by the teachers. The people they interacted with the most were their classmates and teachers. They did not have to worry about making a living, studying, social relationships, or books.
The relatively closed environment of the academy allowed the students to maintain a certain degree of innocence and naivety at this age. Even if they were scheming, they walked the path of righteousness and honesty. In front of an old fox, it was as if all their thoughts were written on their faces.
Xu Ke recalled his past and could not help but feel melancholy.
Zhang Ping smiled and said, "These students are indeed not scheming, but not being scheming doesn't mean they are stupid. After leaving the academy and seeing a wider world, they can learn some things on their own without being taught by others. Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry about them … "
A high EQ could not make up for a low IQ, but a high IQ could make up for a low EQ.
Xu Ke nodded in agreement. Zhang Ping's words were not unreasonable.
While everyone was whispering, the students participating in the assessment arrived at the drill ground one after another. They lined up neatly according to their classes.
It was not without reason that the ancestors said, "Clothes make the man." These students did not all have exquisite looks, but the scholarly quality that they had cultivated for more than ten years, coupled with the blue and white school uniform with wide sleeves and a large cloak, gave them a sense of elegance and beauty.
She was satisfied to be obsessed with looks.
Because there were more subjects, one day was not enough, but Jiang Pengji said that she had plenty of time. She could take the exams one by one, so she was not in a hurry.
The first subjects were horse-riding and archery. Each could accumulate 30 points.
According to the procedure, Master Yuanjing, Wan Xuan, and Cheng Cheng spoke one after another. Finally, Jiang Pengji spoke last.
Jiang Pengji did not waste the students' time. She was concise and to the point, but her words were full of threats.
Because this was the first graduation assessment, many influential people were invited to watch. This was not only a stage for them to show the educational results of the Golden Scale Academy to the outside world, but also a stage for them to show themselves. If they did not perform well under such circumstances, hehe …
Wei Ci and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
Was there such a threat to the students?
"The atmosphere in the military camp is austere. My lord's words made the students even more nervous …"
How could they not be nervous?
This was the drill ground of the military camp, and there were close to ten thousand elites stationed around the drill ground. The imposing aura alone made them feel oppressed, not to mention the fact that there were more than a hundred VIPs sitting in the temporarily built stands that were usually heard about but never seen. Not only were there the Duke of Lanting and his important ministers, but there were also famous scholars and some well-known gentry clan leaders. How could they not be stressed when they were taking the exam under their noses?
It was very stressful!
