Chapter 45 Fulfilling the Promise
"Don't cry, listen to the lesson carefully."

Song Yanjin felt a chill. What's wrong with the young men nowadays? They get aggrieved after just a few words. His little cousin is more optimistic, mainly because he can take a beating.

Huangfu Yunqing was so angry that he laughed. He stood up and saluted, "Don't be angry, Master Song. You misunderstood me. I will just listen carefully."

Wow~ All the students turned around and praised Brother Jingren as a real man. They had no choice but to silently swallow their anger when being scolded. Who dared to stand up and fight back?

Song Yanjin gestured with her jade hand for everyone to sit down. It would be a waste of time to continue arguing with him, so she picked up the book and continued teaching.

Bai Zhu, who was standing at the door, looked at the handsome boy and almost drooled. Pink bubbles appeared in her mind. It was so pleasing to the eyes, she liked him so much!

During the autumn examination, Qingyun Academy set up a stall in the Imperial Examination Hall to provide food for the extremely exhausted students after the examination. This small act of kindness was widely known in the capital.

People who took part in the provincial examinations in the Imperial Academy came from all over the country. The capital was the center of power in the Xia Dynasty, and everyone was cautious and prudent. The existence of such a heartwarming academy was remembered by everyone.

Many girls enrolled today. I heard that Qingyun Academy has a female principal, so everyone came here because of her reputation. Only girls understand girls better. Other academies favor boys over girls and only focus on male students. Usually, the lectures in girls' classes are ambiguous and you can't learn anything at all.

More than a dozen people moved into the girls' dormitory of Qingyun Academy at once, which made Song Yanjin very happy.

"Yuan Chang, now that there are female students in the academy, we still have to be strict with gender separation and management. Use screens to separate the cafeteria, and eat separately for men and women. Don't let them fall in love with each other."

"They are all young, ignorant boys and girls. The academy is a place for learning, not a place for them to make friends and have sex."

"Tell Uncle Liu later to pay attention to hidden places like the garden, the woods, and behind the rockery. If you see a man and a woman chatting and flirting, separate them immediately. The last rule of the school is that men and women are not allowed to have private affairs!"

Song Yanjin and Cui Yuanshang came out from their inspection in the backyard, explaining the management details along the way.

Baizhu behind him was puzzled. What did the lady mean by "making friends"?
Speaking of children, Cui Yuanchang's ears turned slightly red. This kind of problem will arise wherever there are boys and girls. It is really troublesome.

The academy operated as usual. Song Yanjin attended classes every day and occasionally missed the spring examination class. The young men were crying while they were memorizing their lessons!

One month later, when the results of the autumn examination were announced, Lu Jie, who was squeezed at the front, saw that the first place winner was Gu Jiajing, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground. It was over...

The list is ranked by grades, and the top ten are all from Qingyun Academy:
First place: Gu Jiajing
Second place: Xia Yange
The third place: Ye Shiran
Fourth place: Shen Muzhou
Fifth place: Yin Guanshu
The sixth place winner is Gongye Zhiqian

7. Zhuang Yunzheng
8. Du Xiufeng
9. Tian Hean
10. Su Youli
……

The list seems to be Qingyun Academy’s own ranking list!

"I got the Asian dollar? Are you sure?"

Behind the crowd, Xia Yange looked shocked and pulled her maid Baihua to confirm several times.

Baihua nodded solemnly, really happy for the young lady, "I confirmed it a hundred times that the second place is indeed the young lady's name."

Xia Yange cried with joy. She had her period during those three days and her lower abdomen was in so much pain that she almost fainted. She gritted her teeth and persisted in doing the questions, but she couldn't guarantee that she would get them correct.

Xia Yange pulled Baihua and ran towards home, "Mom, your daughter has made it!"

When Gu Jiajing learned that he had obtained Jie Yuan's debt, he happily took his brothers to collect the debt.

A group of people were shouting at the gate of the Imperial College...

Xia Yunheng shouted excitedly, "Lu Jie, you bastard, come out here!"

"Many people were witnesses at the beginning, and today is the time to fulfill our promise."

Gu Jiajing improvised and smashed a stool, threatening, "If you don't come out, I'll go in and catch you and it won't be the same anymore..." Ye Shiran, who was watching the fun, joined in the commotion, "Come out, come out!"

"come out!"

The lackey brothers behind them shouted along. Now they were no longer humble bastards, but top-ranked scholars in the imperial examinations.

The entrance to the Imperial College was very busy for a while.

At this moment, everyone has respect for Qingyun Academy. All members take part and all pass the exam!

Being able to produce a top ten scholar, you can imagine how powerful the master is...

Some people's determination not to change their family background has been shaken. If they could get some guidance before the spring examination, would they be able to pass the imperial examination?

"I heard that Mr. Su was teaching at Qingyun Academy. I was shortsighted at first. The dean of Qingyun Academy personally enrolled students at the Imperial College, but I was too embarrassed to go."

A group of people were talking at the entrance of Qingyun Academy, and they wanted to go in and register but felt embarrassed.

The gatekeeper changed his usual lazy style and stood at the door with his hands folded, as if saying, "If you want to go in, you have to step over me."

The noise at the door spread to the Master's Lounge, but the four big men at the tea table ignored it and drank tea leisurely.

Song Yanjin got another novel about house fighting written by the author of "The Partridge Howls" called "The Yandere Prince Falls in Love with Me".

The author has a good writing style, and the heroine's personality has some of the author's own temperament. From the writing style, Song Yanjin can tell that the author is a girl with a carefree personality.

The article described how the heroine was bullied by her nagging mother-in-law, and then how the heroine fought back. Song Yanjin put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Hahaha~ I feel relieved!"

Mr. Su and Mr. Ge, who were sitting opposite: "..."

Uncle Liu looked at the little girl with disdain, "Girl Jin, stop reading these mindless books. There's a big commotion at the door and you don't go and take care of it."

Song Yanjin continued to smile, and said casually, "Let the kids make trouble. The other side is courting death every day, and sooner or later they will have to pay the price."

"Old Liu, as a manager you are still sitting here drinking tea, which means it's not a big deal." Old Su is only interested in academic studies. Now he is interested in the food in the cafeteria. He doesn't care about the students' mischievous behavior and lets them do whatever they want at their age.

Mr. Ge interrupted, "That's right, Old Liu just loves to worry about things."

After being in the academy for many days, he had a greatly changed impression of this little girl headmaster whom he once despised. To be honest, although he didn't want to admit it, she was very knowledgeable at such a young age, even better than him and Old Su.

Manager Liu glared at his mortal enemy and said, "I am the manager. If I don't worry about it, who will?"

Mr. Ge, "Then you go and take care of it. Why are you drinking tea here?"

Manager Liu, "I love to drink, so I will drink!"

Then he raised the glass again and drank it in one gulp.

Master Ge was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Look at what you have done. You have also seen it, little girl. This steward is neglecting his duties here."

"I drink your tea, I take your salary or what, you are in charge of everything, you are so willing to take charge, what kind of teacher is this, you are just a manager..."

Manager Liu stood up, put his hands on his hips and started talking.

Song Yanjin was so annoyed that he couldn't continue reading the story. He looked at Old Su with a frown on his face. The two of them started arguing again!
