Chapter 139 Three Types of Gentlemen
Rong Xue looked at Chu Ci in disbelief, "You actually, actually dared to hit me, Chu Ci, you little bitch, don't you want to live anymore?"
Rong Xue didn't care about anything else and wanted to fight back. Chu Ci didn't tolerate her and slapped her hard again, throwing her to the ground.
"Rong Xue, who are you? I'm a county lady appointed by the emperor himself. You didn't even say hello to me when you saw me. Your family education at the Duke's Mansion is really good. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's blame?"
"How dare you call me a waste? Whether I am a waste or not is not up to you to decide, but you know whether there is a waste among you."
"Rong Xue, you'd better not mess with me. I'm not someone you can easily bully."
Rong Xue looked unwillingly at Princess Jingle who was standing in the front, "Princess, you have to make the decision for me. Look at how I was beaten. I'm going to be a laughing stock when I go in."
Chu Ci stood straight and looked at Princess Jingle. She was not afraid. To put it nicely, although she was only a county lady, if the matter became serious, the emperor would still remember her favor. Besides, she was also the fiancée of Princess Rui, which was why Princess Jingle did not dare to touch her openly.
Princess Jingle glanced at Chu Ci and said, "You guys go in first."
Chu Ci dragged Chu Zhen to the door and said, "Brother, take out the invitation and go in first."
Everyone looked at Chu Zhen, and when they found out that Chu Zhen only took out one invitation, they started to laugh again, "So there's only one invitation. What a shame! If I were someone like that, I'd be embarrassed to stay here."
"Don't you even look at where you are? Don't you even take a piss and look at yourself? It's really embarrassing."
Chu Zhen clenched his fists and turned around to go and settle the score with Rong Ziyu who had mocked his sister, but was stopped by Chu Ci, "Brother, calm down. You go in first, I'll be right in."
Chu Zhen was worried, so he went in only after seeing Chu Ci nod at her. However, he stood inside and kept an eye on Chu Ci, fearing that she would suffer any loss.
Chu Ci ignored the onlookers and directly took out the jade pendant given to her by the dean. The servant's eyes lit up instantly, "So it's you who's here. Our dean said that if you come, please go directly to the dean's office."
The gatekeeper looked at Chu Ci flatteringly and welcomed her in with both hands. Everyone looked at Chu Ci in surprise, "She, why did she do that?"
Chu Ci was taken to the dean's room. She walked in and saluted the dean, saying hello. "Dean." The dean smiled at her and said, "My dear, you are here. Please sit down. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
After the dean finished speaking, he poured Chu Ci a cup of tea. Chu Ci hurriedly stood up and wanted to pour it himself, but was stopped by the dean again, "Sit down, we don't have such a big rule here. Let me ask you, have you thought it through?"
Chu Ci shook his head embarrassedly, "Dean, I'm here to take my brother to the enrollment, and I haven't made up my mind yet."
Brother? The dean quickly remembered Chu Zhen's information. After returning, he had someone look it up. He was a very talented person, but he just needed a gentleman to sort it out. However, looking at the current situation, it would be difficult for him to stand out among so many people.
Suddenly, the dean pursed his lips, and the smile in his eyes deepened. "That's fine, no rush. Since you're here this time, I'll ask someone to take you around here and take a look at the surrounding environment."
"However, I want to talk to you about the more humane aspects of our academy. There are three types of teachers in our academy. The first type is like you, who only attends classes once a month and doesn't receive any special treatment."
"The second type is normal professors like those in our academy. They come every day and stay in the academy to teach their own classes. Their special treatment is that they can bring in one person every year, but they have to play Go against the professors in our academy."
"The last type is to combine two into one. It requires a competition, but you don't have to come often. Finally, there is an advantage of having a quota."
After the dean finished speaking, Chu Ci's eyes lit up. Isn't this just giving you a pillow when you're sleepy?
Her eyes were as big as copper bells. She suppressed her excitement and looked at the dean in a flattering way, "Are you sure?"
The dean stroked his beard and nodded, "But winning this competition is definitely not that easy. Alright, enough small talk, let's go out for a walk."
Chu Ci wandered around the academy alone for a long time. When she returned to the competition venue, she saw Chu Zhen competing in painting, which Chu Zhen was not good at.
When Chu Ci approached, he saw Zhen Hao drawing. His hands were clenched tightly, his whole body was stiff, and he looked a little nervous.
Chu Ci squeezed to the front and looked at the others. There were too many people. If it continued like this, it would be basically impossible for his brother to get in.
Chu Ci sighed. For so many years, his brother had really been delayed by the Li family. He could study by himself, but in terms of painting, if he didn't have a famous teacher, it would probably be difficult. This was why all the good resources were tilted towards him.
Chu Zhen had finished half of the painting when he could clearly feel that he was not satisfied with it. Some of the lines were not smooth enough, too stiff, and the brush was a bit rough, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Chu Zhen stood there for a long time. He didn't want to accept his failure. How could he protect his sister like this? She believed that her sister's efforts for this opportunity were also huge.
Chu Zhen fell into self-doubt, and Chu Ci saw it clearly. She was very worried at this moment.
Chu Ci silently called out "brother". Chu Zhen seemed to be able to hear it. He suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Ci. Seeing the worry in Chu Ci's eyes, Chu Zhen forced a smile, then closed his eyes and adjusted his state. At the very least, he had to bring out his best state to complete this competition.
Chu Zhen quickly adjusted himself and gave Chu Ci an elegant smile. Chu Ci knew that he had made it.
Chu Zhen's brushstrokes were like a god, and the whole painting was getting better and better.
I don't know when Yue Chang, who was sitting high on the referee's table, shook his head with satisfaction. It seemed that these two people had to stay.
After Chu Zhen finished painting, he was not very satisfied with the painting in front of him, but he knew that he had tried his best.
The gentlemen from the academy collected the paintings and began to mark the papers on the spot. The entire competition venue was so quiet that you could hear everyone's heartbeats.
Not long after, the dean announced all the names. Chu Ci only knew Princess Jingle and Rong Ziyu and Rong Xue from the Duke's Mansion.
He failed to enter the academy. Chu Zhen lowered his head, holding his painting, with a stern face. When he looked at Chu Ci, he was full of guilt. He felt sorry for what his sister had done for him.
"Your paintings are already very good. It's just that they have had famous teachers to guide them since they were young, so their paintings are just a little better."
Chu Ci took the drawing paper from his brother's hand, unfolded it and felt something was wrong.
