Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

Ming Zhiyan helped him up and asked evenly, “Why are you running?”

Xiao Lang immediately stood up and apologized obediently, “I’m sorry, Brother Zhiyan. I didn’t do it on purpose. I shouldn’t have run so fast.”

Ming Zhiyan rubbed his head and said calmly, “It’s okay.”

!!

Until lunchtime, Xiao Lang was still very excited.

Ming Zhiyan asked curiously, “Why are you so excited today?”

Xiao Lang said excitedly, “My second brother is going to the Prefectural Academy! My sister sent him there!”

Ming Zhiyan’s expression froze. “What? Why is your second brother going to the Prefectural Academy?”

Xiao Lang still did not know what had happened, he continued to speak with a smile about the conversation between his sister and them yesterday. “Second Brother said that he received an invitation letter from the Prefectural Academy and wanted to go to the academy to study, so Sister sent him there. He wanted to go to the city! I’ve never been there before!”

Ming Zhiyan’s intuition told him that this matter was not simple. He was not like Jian Qingqing, and he was extremely clear about things like the entrance examination.

Usually, a school like the Prefectural Academy had to pass the examination and enter. Moreover, the examination had already passed, so how could he only receive the invitation letter now?

He ordered with a sullen face, “Go and invite Mr. Liang from the Detian Academy.”

Xiao Lang did not understand and asked in puzzlement, “Why did you call Brother’s teacher over?”

Ming Zhiyan patted his head and frowned. He said in a deep voice, “It’s nothing. You can eat first.”

Xiao Lang nodded in confusion and lowered his head to eat.

Mr. Liang was also surprised why Ming Zhiyan was looking for him. After arriving at the county office, he asked in puzzlement, “Sir Ming, why are you looking for me?”

Ming Zhiyan asked in a deep voice, “Why did Xiao Ye receive an invitation from the Prefectural Academy now?”

It turned out to be this matter. Mr. Liang was relieved and said with a smile, “Mr. Wu Zuming from the Prefectural Academy saw Xiao Ye’s article and felt that he was very talented, so he wrote an invitation letter.”

“But as far as I know, the Prefectural Academy’s assessment has long passed, and Xiao Ye has never participated in the assessment. How could a mere Mr. Wu Zuming have such power to independently invite people?”

Mr. Liang’s smile froze, and only then did he realize that something was wrong. He took out Wu Zuming’s letter and handed it to Ming Zhiyan to read.

He said with some hesitation, “There shouldn’t be a problem, right? Mr. Wu was in charge of receiving students from Shifeng County. Although Xiao Ye had not participated in the assessment, his talent was very high. I believe that any teacher who has seen him will take a liking to him.”

Mr. Liang was full of confidence in Xiao Ye, so he overlooked some of the details. However, knowing that Yan was a comprehensive person and had yet to read the letter, he could hear the problem immediately.

No matter how smart Xiao Ye was, he was still a six-year-old child. He did not learn much. The articles he wrote were outstanding among students his age, but there were still many shortcomings compared to those older students. Young and talented students had a lot of uncertainties. Some were arrogant because of their talent, and some became more mediocre as they grew older. Colleges like the prefectural academy generally would not accept students who were too young, even if they were very smart.

So why did Wu Zuming only have eyes for Xiao Ye?

Combined with Liu Ling’er, Song Yunfeng, and Song Yuancheng’s matters, he had a rough guess. Only song Yuancheng and the others in Cairo City had the ability to drive the scholars of the Prefectural Academy.

Ming Zhiyan coldly glanced at Mr. Liang, he turned around and left.

“Wang Li, prepare the troops!”

They hurried over.

When they arrived in Cairo City, it was already midnight, and the city gates were already closed.
