Chapter 435
In Prince Jin's mansion, Bai Fan looked at the group of sisters-in-law and aunts in front of him, and was really speechless.

After hearing that Bai Fan accepted disciples in the street, who among the nobles in Chang'an would not want to go directly through the back door?But Bai Fan hid himself from seeing each other, and no one could find him. If he directly found Zhongnan Academy, it would have a bad influence, so several noble ladies in Chang'an thought of Bai Fan's mother-in-law, Princess Jin Zheng.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Zheng also wanted to find her son-in-law to send her two natal families there, so she came up with a trick. She sent Bai Fan to him with a letter, saying that she hadn't seen him for a long time, and Jin Wang's mansion held a family banquet, asking her daughter and son-in-law to go home for dinner .

Li Wanping saw that her mother deceived herself and her husband in such a disregard of identity, she was so angry that she was about to throw up her sleeves and leave.

Seeing that her daughter didn't help her, Mrs. Zheng was wronged and said that she had been living for 20 years for nothing, Bai Fan hurriedly persuaded her, because of this matter, she really shouldn't do it.

"Mother-in-law, all aunts and sister-in-laws, those who are able to come today are my close friends of Bai Fan. Anyone who does not have one or two relatives and family members all want their children to find a good school and teacher. This is human nature.

But the academy only accepts [-] students this semester. This is a dead rule, and I, Bai Fan, are the most disciplined.

I welcome everyone who finds me and wants to recommend students, but the academy only recruits elite talents, and those with mediocre qualifications do not have this opportunity, so even if you recommend children, I have to select them. "

Bai Fan saluted all the ladies and said.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng frowned first and scolded: "What? Could it be that the children recommended by each of our families are mediocre? They are all smart and talented one after another. Could it be that you are relying on Zhongnan Academy to bully customers and look down on us? ?”

Cheng Peijin's wife, Cheng Pei, said: "Yes, Jianzhi, I heard that you took in an apprentice who could eat in the street, and a five-year-old doll, and even a seven-year-old girl from the warrior's family. Come on, sister-in-law's natal nephew, aren't they much better than them?"

Mrs. Li Ji said with a smile: "You are a nephew, and mine is the younger brother of my natal family, they are all close relatives."

Li Wanping interjected dissatisfied: "Mother, aunts, how could you do this?

Husband founded the academy to cultivate talents for the Tang Dynasty. Now it recruits students from all over the Tang Dynasty. If there is any injustice, the academy will be criticized by everyone. You only care about your own interests. No one thought that once this opening is opened, you will end up What about South Academy?

There are only [-] quotas in the entire Tang Dynasty, but everyone recommends one or two. We have so many relatives and friends, and [-] quotas are not enough. What will the people say about us then? "

Empress Changsun said to Zheng with a smile: "Sister, you are really raising this girl for nothing, you don't talk to your natal family at such a critical time, you are just supporting your husband's family.

There is no need for Pinger to be dissatisfied. Of course we know that Jian Zhi will be considered. So many people in Datang want to enroll, but Jian Zhi only accepts [-] students, how can it be enough?Each of our families only has two places, so you can recruit another [-] students, train [-] students in one session, and then add more talents to Datang, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

We will select the best talents in the family and send them over. You don't have to worry about the quality, it won't embarrass your school. "

Li Wanping was furious because of this, why did the second aunt of the empress, who was always wise, do the same?

Bai Fan got up, walked to the center and shook his head, "I said, only 1000 people will be recruited, and no one more will be recruited.

I built the academy, and I have the final say.

Just now you laughed at me for accepting me as a disciple?Five-year-old boy?I think this is also the reason why you all came here today.

Alright, since everyone thinks that I, Bai Fan, are unfair, let's do a comparison. I have recruited four new apprentices. Everyone here today can recommend as many people as they want. Let's compare with my four apprentices.

If anyone wins, I, Bai Fan, will accept it on the spot as my personal disciple without saying a word. If you can’t compare with these four disciples of mine, then don’t mention this matter again. Don’t say that you are my relatives and friends, you will be me in the future If Bai Fan's son goes to school, if he doesn't meet the admission rules of the academy, he will not be able to enroll. This is my Bai Fan's principle, and it is also the principle of Zhongnan Academy! "

……

Everyone was dumbfounded at the time, why did they get angry while talking?

Cheng Pei's heart tightened, and it was broken. He heard that Bai Fan was protecting his shortcomings. He just said that his apprentice was a worthless person. It seemed that he had offended him.

"Oh! Look at my mouth, it's my sister-in-law's fault. I accidentally said something wrong. In short, don't be angry. My sister-in-law apologizes. These are all rumors in Chang'an city. It's really not my sister-in-law's intentions. I didn't Look down on the meaning of children."

Cheng Pei rushed forward to apologize to Bai Fan.

Only then did everyone understand that this was the case, what happened to Mrs. Cheng?Isn't this a good thing for everyone?
The eldest grandson of the empress also persuaded: "Jane, don't be angry, your sister-in-law of the Cheng family is indeed unintentional, as for the competition, why do you have to engage in such a dispute?

It’s fine if you can give us a chance to see the children we introduced, let alone the competition. As for whether they can get into the academy, it depends on their chances. We have no intention of intervening in the academy, and we won’t make it difficult for you. "

At this point, everyone is really stupid if they can't see the height of their eyebrows and eyes. This time, all the wives of the princes of the country came. I didn't see any man who came in person. Is it because I am embarrassed to speak up, or dare not speak up? .

It would be fine if Bai Fan was back then, but today's Bai Fan is an uncrowned king who can sit on an equal footing with His Majesty, who would dare to provoke him?For this trivial matter, if he offends him, the loss outweighs the gain.

Letting the wives play the role, even if there are some mistakes, it is just a female stream, and Bai Fan will not be able to get along with women.

Bai Fan smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, it's not that I, Bai Fan, are stingy. We are all top nobles in the Tang Dynasty, and each family holds important positions in the court. Our words and deeds are seen by others. We need Use actions to give an explanation to the people, and the Li family should serve as an example.

Bai Fan will settle the matter of the academy with one word. It’s okay for you to recommend students, so just compare them with my four disciples. Follow the rules, so be it!

I still have something to do in the academy, so I'll go back first. "

After finishing speaking, he pulled his wife Li Wanping and turned around to go out, leaving behind a group of women who looked at each other in blank dismay. This boy, in just a few years, has grown to such an extent that everyone looks up to him.

If Cheng Yaojin, who is stationed in the Northeast, knows that his wife has offended Bai Fan today, he will definitely be furious. He thinks that Cheng Yaojin has been shrewd all his life, and he has always been proud of being the first to befriend Bai Fan, a potential person. Today, he was ruined by a woman It is estimated that Cheng Yaojin has the idea of ​​divorcing his wife when he finds out.

After the wives left one after another, Li Jiancheng came out to find the Zheng family, shook his head and sighed: "Why are you bothering? No matter how you say it, your natal Zheng family used to have five surnames and seven families. For a family that is going into decline, it is evil Is the son-in-law worth it?"

Mrs. Zheng's face turned bitter when she heard the words, "Hey! After all, it is the place where I was born and raised, but now I am in a difficult situation. If I can ease the relationship with Bai Fan in the name of master and apprentice, then I don't have to be caught in the middle. .”

Three days later, Bai Fan set up a ring at the entrance of the academy, saying that as long as he can beat the four newly recruited disciples, he can be accepted as an apprentice by himself, and those who can't win can continue to go to the academy for assessment.

This arena is to test those recommended students. All the talents who are recommended in private need to accept the public competition to decide whether to accept the academy.

As soon as the news came out, all the people praised Bai Fan for being impartial and selfless, and no one ever said that there was a shady scene in the academy.

As for Ying Guogong's mansion in Chang'an City, the samurai has not seen his youngest daughter for several days. He heard that his youngest daughter went to Zhongnan Academy privately to study, and he was instantly furious. It's embarrassing to show your face!Didn't you see that Bai Fan opened a girls' class but no one signed up?
"Come on, let's go, the boss and the second call, and let them go to Zhongnan Academy to find Erya back for me. This girl is too escaping. I will break her leg when I find her."
