Chapter 38 Rain from the sky
Boom ~

There was a loud thunder in the sky and a strong wind blew, bending the big banyan tree in the courtyard of Qingyun Academy.

Bai Zhu walked out of the school gate and was about to ring the school bell. She looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds covering the sky, as if it was day and night. She happily turned back to the school and said, "Miss, it's going to rain!"

After a long drought, it finally rained. Song Yanjin and the other students stood up excitedly and ran out of the school. Fine raindrops fell, and the steaming floor quickly swallowed up the raindrops.

"Wuhu~"

"Heaven has finally sent down a blessing..."

"I will be going to the Imperial Examination Hall tomorrow. The rain is coming at the right time. God is blessing me with passing the imperial examination!"

Gongye Zhiqian shouted excitedly and ran into the rain to enjoy the gift.

The students behind him dropped their books and followed.

Gu Jiajing and his brother Xia Yunheng were just about to step down when someone grabbed them by the back of their necks.

Song Yanjin held the two of them and warned them seriously, "Don't go. If you catch a cold, you will have a hard time in the imperial examination."

After pulling the person back, Song Yanjin loudly rebuked the students below, "Come back here."

Xia Yange, who was standing behind him, also called out, "Mu Zhou, Shi Ran, Yun Zheng, please come back soon. We have an imperial examination tomorrow. It would be bad if you catch a cold."

Everyone pretended not to hear. Since Xia Yunheng didn't have to take the exam anyway, he took the opportunity to pull Gu Jiajing down and join their circling action.

The true nature of the monkeys was exposed. Song Yanjin held his forehead helplessly and said, "Baizhu, tell the kitchen to make some ginger soup."

The wind was strong but the rain was light, just enough to wet the floor. The water in the tiles' gutters had not been flowing on the eaves for long before the dense dark clouds dispersed, revealing a bright red sunset.

In the cafeteria, Song Yanjin put his hands on his waist and scolded everyone one by one, "The success or failure of the tribute court tomorrow depends on this one move. You are all so old but still act like children. You are not steady at all. If you catch a cold, you will suffer..."

"Especially you, Gongye Zhiqian, who led the rebellion..."

The students were all wet, pretending to be quails, with their heads buried in the bowls of ginger soup.

Cui Yuanshang and two maids came in with clothes in their arms. "Headmaster, the clothes that were made to order at Jinluyi are here."

The students were all soaked, so Cui Yuanchang took their clothes directly.

Song Yanjin waved his hand impatiently, "Send it out to them to change into."

If she caught a cold, she would lose her reputation and that of Mr. Su if she failed the exam.

Xia Yunheng was the first to raise his head. His eldest cousin had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she cursed at them with the harshest words, she actually cared about them the most in her heart.

The fabric of the clothes in Manager Cui's hands is of good quality. No wonder my cousin asked someone to measure our sizes a few days ago.

Xia Yunheng went over first, "Let me take a look. If it doesn't suit my temperament, I won't wear it!"

Cui Yuanchang took out a piece of clothing with the prince's name on the collar and gave it to him.

The remaining students received them in turn.

Everyone hid in the cafeteria warehouse to change their wet clothes, and each of them came out handsome.

They all wore a uniform sky blue Shu brocade gown, with a thin and soft belt around the waist to secure it, and a flowing apron thrown behind them. On the right chest was a small green mountain embroidered with the words Qingyun Academy.

Xia Yange was stunned. Is this still her former classmate?
"Miss Xia, these are your clothes."

Cui Yuanshang handed her the last set of clothes in his hand.

"Thank you." Xia Yange thanked politely and took the clothes. She couldn't wait to change into them. She suppressed her excitement and handed the clothes to the maid beside her. She would go back after dinner to change.

Song Yanjin nodded with satisfaction. The proprietress of Jinluyi was really amazing. The clothing designs she drew herself were quite messy, but she managed to make the complete clothes without anyone even coming to ask about the details.

Old Su, who came at lunchtime, stepped into the cafeteria and saw the energetic teenagers. He jokingly said, "Wow~ When did so many White Crane teenagers come to our Qingyun Academy?"

"Wow~ I didn't expect Mr. Su also watched "The Partridge Howls"."

Finally, he met a like-minded person. Xia Yunheng walked up to Su Lao, took his arm, and sat down at the table, discussing the plot in whispers.

Song Yanjin invited everyone to gather around the table, "Don't stand, eat."

Everyone responded with a smile and pulled their friends over. They were all noblemen from aristocratic families and could wear new clothes at any time, but the one they were wearing was different, as it represented Qingyun Academy!

Xiao Ruan came in and saw the uniforms on the students. She couldn't help but feel envious. She decided to reincarnate well in her next life and study hard for the imperial examination. Song Yanjin was handing out chopsticks to everyone. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Ruan at the door. He followed his gaze to the student at the next table and understood instantly.

Xiao Ruan lives a life outside, unlike these young men from wealthy families who only read books. I have known him for such a long time and have heard him talk a lot about his family at the dinner table.

Song Yanjin smiled and raised his hand to greet him, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Come over here, today we have your favorite fried fish."

Xiao Ruan came back to her senses and retracted her gaze, then smiled at Sister Song, "Hey~ I'll be right there."

I never had the chance to study in this life, but it’s not bad to have met an outstanding headmaster.

While eating, Song Yanjin arranged for everyone to make instant noodles and dry food in the evening.

The instant noodles I made earlier have been eaten up, so if I make them tonight and tomorrow morning, there will be enough time for everything.

The students wanted to participate, but were rejected by Song Yanjin. Their task was to have a good rest and recharge their energy.

Before leaving, Song Yanjin assigned a small task to the students: memorize the questions!

The students were puzzled, but Mr. Su knew why.

After everyone left, Mr. Su invited Mr. Song to return to the Master's Rest House for tea.

"Master Song's move to have students memorize the questions is really smart. They can do the questions again and check the answers. It will be clear who will pass the exam before the results are announced."

As Mr. Su spoke, he washed his hands and made tea. It was much cooler after the rain, the drought was alleviated, the dead trees came back to life, and summer would soon slowly return to life. Everything was developing in a good direction.

Baizhu helped Mr. Su wash the tea set. The teacups used by the young lady naturally had to be clean.

"Yes, these kids have been educated here for more than a month. If they don't pass the imperial examination, they can't even say they are students of Qingyun Academy. It's shameful!"

Song Yanjin first drank a glass of boiled water to cool down his temper.

"I have confidence in the children. No, I have confidence in Principal Song. Everyone is working hard. Look at Gu Jiajing, who only knew the art of war when he first entered school, but now he can write good articles with unique insights. And Ye Shiran, that naughty kid has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world..." Old Su was drinking tea while talking about the changes in the students in the class.

I secretly thought that under the high pressure of Xiaosongshan, it would be hard for these children not to become successful.

The self-compiled secret manual was so thick that everyone memorized it by heart in half a month...

I can't help but feel lucky that I am a teacher, not a student!

After three days of small tests and five days of big tests, the children's achievements were obvious to all, which made Song Yanjin very pleased. His frown relaxed and he continued to discuss with Mr. Su, who had been to the Imperial Examination Hall, about the personal belongings that the students should bring into the exam.

After finishing two cups of tea, Song Yanjin took Bai Zhu back to the cafeteria to make instant noodles.

Ye Shiran returned home and happily ran to show his eldest brother the clothes he was wearing. He turned around with great interest and threw his shoulders aside, "Look, eldest brother, am I handsome?"

Ye Shi'an, who was writing a memorial at the desk, was unable to organize his words because of his brother's noise. He looked up at the peacock impatiently.

　The plot of Joy of Life has reached the Spring Examination, and all the big guys have handed their names to Lord Fan, and even the people on the list have already been decided.

　　The upright Xiao Fan only wants fairness...

　　What a coincidence~ Principal Song’s first batch of students will take the autumn examination tomorrow. Can you guess who will pass?
　　The list of 11 students is as follows:
　　Gu Jiajing

　　Xia Yan Ge

　　Ye Shiran

　　Shen Muzhou

　　Gongye Zhiqian
