Chapter 75 The answer is in the question

Song Yanjin nodded with a smile, "It's OK, thank you for your concern, Mr. Su."

After alleviating the embarrassment of being almost beaten by the old goat, Mr. Su picked up the question paper seriously and said, "Let's go and continue the interview."

Gong Yang looked at Song Shanzhang with a smile, "He is just like that."

Song Yanjin understands how important it is to save face!

Song Yanjin stepped aside to let the seniors walk in front, and then followed Brother Ye to go to the school.

The answers of the remaining twenty or so students were mediocre. They were all standard answers summarized from the book. There were no highlights that attracted the examiners, and there were no points deducted.

The dinner was a big one, and Lord Gongyang was bound to stay and meet with his old friends. Minister Di had something to do at home, so he said goodbye with the busy Ye Shian.

Song Yanjin sent him to the gate of the academy and then turned back.

There was another quarrel in the cafeteria. Old Su tried to drive Old Gongyang back, but the old man sat firmly at the table and could not be driven away.

Master Ge, Master Si, and Master Bai came over from school and tried to stop the quarrel without even a sip of tea.

To keep calm for a while, and to give face to the masters, Lord Gongyang and Lord Su sat down with discord in their hearts.

After a meal and two glasses of wine, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Song Yanjin brought Bai Zhu and set up a table with Cui Yuanshang, Xiao Ruan and others, allowing them to drink and chat.

Gong Yangge was getting drunk, and he came over to the table with his wine glass, mistaking Xiao Ruan for Gu Jiajing. "Gu family kid, hiccup~ I'm telling you, I've taught many students, and today you are the best in Qingyun Academy."

"I'm not exaggerating, you will definitely be the top scorer this year..."

Xiao Ruan smiled wryly, "Thank you, but I'm not Gu Jiajing."

"no?"

Gong Yang's eyes widened slightly, and the young man's head in front of him was split into three. "How could it be?"

Being able to be affirmed by a great scholar, Song Yanjin looked at Uncle Liu with a smile, "Help the elder back to the courtyard, and send someone to inform his family that the elder Gongyang will stay at Qingyun Academy tonight."

The little boy beside the old man snatched the wine glass from the old man's hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song. Earlier, the old man asked me to send the driver home to report."

As long as Gong Yang Ge Lao has made the arrangements, Song Yanjin nodded, "Okay, help the master down first."

Manager Liu stood up and went out to call two people from the security department, and asked Qingmu to lead the way.

Old Su was also drunk, and was helped out by his personal servant.

Song Yanjin asked Old Cheng in the kitchen to make some hangover-relieving soup. The teachers were all wine lovers, so the academy always had a few soups on hand.

After everything was arranged, Song Yanjin returned to Shanchangyuan.

After this interview, the students in the palace examination class all recognized their own shortcomings, and worked harder than each other in private. Some of them practiced in groups of three or five, taking turns to be the examiner and set questions for each other.

There is no pressure because classmates are too familiar with each other. Some schools invite students from intensive lecture classes to be examiners.

When Xia Yan Ge couldn't find the answer in the book, she asked her grandfather for help. After a few days, she finally sorted out a few pages of answers. She nervously put them on the desk of Principal Song and ran away.

In the past, she thought she could be friends with Principal Song, but the way Principal Song got angry that day was so scary, so she decided to avoid him for the next few days.

Song Yanjin came to the teacher's resting yard after taking a nap. Seeing the letter, her face darkened. How could she hand in the answers to the interview questions so secretly? Is the little girl so afraid of her now?

Bai Zhu kindly reminded, "Miss, Miss Xia cried so hard that day. You really scared her."

I am always by the young lady's side and I know her best. The young lady only shows her fierce side in the classroom. "A strict teacher produces excellent students" is what she often says.

"Let's take a look first. If she's not satisfied with the answer, she'll suffer in the next interview."

Song Yanjin sat down and opened the letter to read. Most of what was said in the letter were about great righteousness, talking about the virtues of the prince and the merchants, but it did not take his own identity into account. How should this matter be judged from a legal perspective?

Song Yanjin crumpled up the papers in his hand and threw them away. "Bai Zhu, tell Xia Yange that she is not satisfied with the answer! Give her another chance and ask Gongshu Tianye and Gu Jiajing to learn from them. Give me an answer in person tomorrow morning."

The stupid girl keeps talking nonsense and refuses to convict. Who can she fool in the court in the future?

After Bai Zhu agreed, he left the teacher's rest area and went to the school to tell Xia Yange.

When Xia Yange learned that the dean was not satisfied, she broke down again and cried on the table...

Everyone heard what Bai Zhu said. Gu Jiajing and Gongshu Tianye, who were mentioned, came over and said, "Don't cry. Write out the questions first. I want to see what questions can make you so difficult."

The straight man Gu Jiajing handed her paper and pen, motioning her to write.

Xia Yange wiped away her tears and wrote down every word without missing a single word.

Gongshu Tianye looked at it and pondered for a long time. The question Song Shanchang asked was much more difficult than the one he asked himself.

"Xiao Jing, think of a solution quickly. You have always been the best. The eldest cousin has allowed her to find you. Help her quickly."

Xia Yunheng felt very sympathetic towards Xia Yange, he was also often scolded by his eldest cousin, but fortunately he had a strong heart and did not cry!
Gu Jiajing thought about the question. It mentioned the law. He went over the laws of the Xia Dynasty in his mind. It was a crime for vendors to occupy the streets, it was also a crime to use monkeys to perform to make money, and it was also wrong for the prince to beat someone to death in the street...

"A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner. Isn't this the answer at the beginning?"

Ye Shiran pointed to the first sentence, "The question gives the law. I am the Jingzhao Yin who has designated to punish the prince first. No, report it to His Majesty first and see how he reacts. If he is very angry, then punish the prince less severely. The prince is His Majesty's son. What old father would like to see others severely punish his son?"

"If your majesty has a peaceful attitude, then severely punish the prince, which shows that your majesty does not favor the prince. The liar first violated three crimes under the law. Although the crime is not punishable by death, he was beaten to death by the prince. The prince cannot escape the blame and must atone for his sins throughout his life."

The eldest brother is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple and has tried countless cases. He would also test him when he was free at home. Ye Shiran was very familiar with the law, and criminal law was child's play for him.

When the clouds parted and the sky cleared, Gu Jiajing and Gongshu Tianye's eyes lit up. That's how it was said.

Xia Yange burst into tears of gratitude, "Brother Shi Ran, thank you."

Ye Shiran scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's okay, we are all classmates, it's only natural for us to help each other."

The problem was solved, and the group of people surrounding Xia Yange dispersed. It seems that the law should be put on the agenda and familiarized with it every day. Director Song does not follow the routine to set questions, so it will not be wrong to do more preparation.

The next morning, Song Yanjin attended the palace examination class. Before she could speak, Xia Yange stood up and answered the interview questions.

The title is just as Ye Shiran said, it's just that the punishment for the merchants is a little lenient, and more comfort is given to the merchants' families and so on.

Forget it. Asking her to revise it would become a challenge. Song Yanjin added a few sentences to make the answer more complete and then let her sit down.

When the news that the interview would be held every ten days was announced, the people in the palace examination class clapped their hands happily, thinking that Principal Song had finally shown some humanity for once.

Qingyun Academy was intensively preparing for the palace examination, and a month later, the results were finally announced.
