From Hundred Blossom Lane to the main street, there was a moment of silence, followed by an uproar!
The crowd discussed fervently. The stewards and important figures of the Four Great Markets in the pergola shook their heads in silence, while those experts challenging the Orthodox Academy frowned in displeasure. At a time like this, the Orthodox Academy suddenly began to recruit new students? What were they trying to do? Right now, the Orthodox Academy didn't even have a proper teacher or teacher, so what sort of students were they recruiting? Furthermore, it had been a long time since spring. Students with some potential had already entered the other five Ivies. Even if they wanted to recruit new students, what kind of students could they recruit?
No matter what people thought, Priest Xin's words had already been spoken, and the Orthodox Academy's enrollment notice had also been posted.
When the Orthodoxy cavalry removed the two cordons in front of the Orthodox Academy, the populace surged like a tide to the gate of the Orthodox Academy and began to read the enrollment notice.
"The semester is three years, and the final exam will be the standard. If you can pass, then you will be recognized as a student of the Tradition Academy. If you can't, then get out?"
"Who wrote this notice? Why is it so messy?"
"Hey, look at this one! The students of the Orthodox Academy actually don't charge tuition fees, and they even have allowances and food? "
The enrollment notice of the Orthodox Academy used red paper and the words were written in ink.
The black words on the red paper were exceptionally eye-catching, and they were clearly seen by everyone.
Those simple yet not so simple terms and those simple to the point of being somewhat crude directly made the people who saw the notice flabbergasted. They didn't know how to react at all.
The stewards of the Four Great Markets went to make copies of the provisions of the enrollment notice. As a result, the people under the awning and those experts preparing to challenge the Orthodox Academy all knew the specific details of the Orthodox Academy's enrollment.
After reading the notice, the stewards were even more speechless. They could clearly see that this matter was not in line with Chen Chang Sheng's personality. It was definitely the work of that Young Master Tang. Thus, the stewards of the Three Great Markets all walked in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Market's position and asked the steward of the Heavenly Fragrance Market, what exactly did your young master want to do? Using this to stall for time? Let's not talk about anything else. We cooperated quite well yesterday, so how about we let Little Director Chen try to use five strikes in the next round?
After reading the announcement, the crowd did not disperse. Instead, they surrounded the gate of the Orthodox Academy and began to discuss. Up until now, no one knew why the Orthodox Academy had chosen the middle of summer, which was not the traditional time to recruit new students, to suddenly start recruiting, but this did not stop people from making their own judgments.
The Tradition Academy … shouldn't be able to recruit any students.
Putting aside the fact that the Ivy Academies had already accepted new students in the spring, just the current situation of the Orthodox Academy meant that not many people would dare to apply.
The current Orthodox Academy was no longer the taboo, forgotten graveyard of the capital like it was last year. There were already signs of a new life, but what could they do? The situation in the capital this year was tense, especially when the Orthodox Academy was at the heart of the struggle between two great powers. Entering the Orthodox Academy at this time to study, not to mention learning anything, would only bring about endless troubles.
At this moment, the gate of the Tradition Academy opened again. Chen Chang Sheng and the others carried a few tables and walked out with pen, ink, and paper.
The crowd surrounded him with a rumble. The people of Jingdou had always been fearless, and they directly began to ask these questions.
Fortunately, the Li Palace clergy and the Tradition Cavalry arrived quickly. Before Chen Chang Sheng and the others' heads were dizzy from the noisy crowd, they had already separated them into an area.
Chen Chang Sheng, Tang Thirty Six, and Xuan Yuan Po sat behind three tables. The table was covered with paper, the ink in the inkstone was already ground, and the pen was placed on the rack. Only the table in front of Chen Chang Sheng had an additional name list and the seal of the principal.
Everything was ready, only waiting for someone to sign up.
At this time, the morning light was already bright. At eight or nine o 'clock, the fresh sun had already risen.
… …
… …
Time passed slowly. In front of the Tradition Academy, there were still three tables and three people.
The crowd surrounding the announcement had already dispersed, but no one came to sign up.
Xuan Yuan Po looked at the delicate brush on the rack and then looked at his rough hands. He thought to himself that pulling up trees was easy, but writing was too hard … … Fortunately, no one came today.
Chen Chang Sheng lowered his head in embarrassment, but since it was already like this, he didn't want to complain about Tang Thirty Six. He could only helplessly think, could it be that no one came to sign up?
Tang Thirty Six's table was the busiest. From time to time, young girls would come up shyly, put down their sachets, and run away like frightened deer. There were also some brave girls who asked him to write a fan for them. Of course, these girls only wanted to use this rare opportunity to get closer to him, but no one actually signed up. Minister Xin, who was responsible for maintaining order, had an increasingly ugly expression, but Tang Thirty Six didn't feel anything. Yes, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, or at least he didn't show it. He smiled warmly, talked softly with the young girls, put the sachets and other gifts on the table, and sincerely expressed that he would use them well.
For a moment, Chen Chang Sheng took advantage of the slightly quieter table to go over and whisper, "Which one is Bie Tian Xin?"
Tang Thirty Six said, "This kind of person obviously can't just casually appear. I looked, he's not here."
Chen Chang Sheng relaxed a little, and then said, "Your table is almost full."
Tang Thirty Six arched his brows, indescribably confident and proud. "Envious of ge?"
Tang Thirty Six lightly coughed and said, "But there's not a single sign up form on your table."
Tang Thirty Six lightly coughed and said, "But there's not a single sign up form on your table."
Chen Chang Sheng said, "I see that you very much enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by girls, so you really aren't in a hurry."
Tang Thirty Six said, "What do you know? I'm building up a good image. The Orthodox Academy is recruiting new students, and I'm a living signboard, so I naturally have to be more patient and gentle."
… …
… …
The news that the Orthodox Academy was recruiting new students quickly spread through the entire capital. Many people, even those important figures, couldn't suppress their curiosity. They either personally came or sent their capable subordinates, wanting to know just what these youths from the Orthodox Academy wanted to do.
Two important figures had often appeared in that tea house in Hundred Flowers Lane in the past few days, so they naturally wouldn't be absent today.
They were Daoist Siyuan, who had proposed the new rules for the All-School Martial Exhibition, and Mao Qiuyu, the Archbishop of the Hall of Illustrious Persons who had come as a representative of the Pope's will.
Daoist Siyuan looked at the deserted entrance to the Orthodox Academy, at the three tables and the three youths, and shook his head. "Truly a troublemaker."
Mao Qiuyu sat across from him at the table, looking at the smiling Tang Thirty Six who was waving at the girls in the crowd. He laughed and said, "Truly a clown."
Before he became Archbishop of the Hall of Illustrious Persons, he had been the Principal of the Heavenly Dao Academy. Before Tang Thirty Six entered the Orthodox Academy, he had been his student.
Daoist Siyuan creased his brow and said, "This sort of farce is truly a disgrace to the Li Palace."
"A farce? I don't think so. Perhaps they won't be able to recruit a single new student today, but … "
Mao Qiuyu's smile faded and he indifferently said, "The entire continent will soon know that the Orthodox Academy … after nearly twenty years, is finally beginning to recruit again."
… …
… …
The Orthodox Academy began to recruit again. The recruitment here referred to a large-scale, formal recruitment, and not the situation like when Chen Chang Sheng mistakenly entered the Orthodox Academy.
In the eyes of many elders of the Orthodoxy and many commoners who remembered the glory days of the Orthodox Academy, this was a very symbolic event.
But at that time, in the period from morning to noon, this event really seemed like a farce.
The entrance to the Orthodox Academy always had three tables and three youths. It was so deserted that even the bystanders felt a little embarrassed, let alone the people involved.
At some point, Tang Thirty Six had Xuan Yuan Po find a large umbrella from the Orthodox Academy's storeroom and placed it on top of the three tables to block out the sunlight and to pass the time.
"Is it okay?" Chen Chang Sheng lowered his head and asked.
At this time, the girls who delivered the flowers couldn't stand the heat anymore and reluctantly returned home. The people who stayed on the street saw this side and discussed. From their expressions, it was obvious that they were laughing at them, although they didn't seem to have any evil intentions.
But at this time in the capital, who knew how many people were laughing at them with deep evil intentions.
