The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life
Chapter 183 Jealousy and Taunting
Chapter 183 Jealousy and Taunting
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Today was the day Xie Lan was going to report to the Royal Academy, and Nanny Zhang woke her up early in the morning. Xie Lan sighed, got up reluctantly to wash and eat, and then climbed into the carriage resignedly.
Xie Lan was in a daze the whole time, and he didn't know how long it took for the carriage to finally stop. He yawned, stretched, and then slowly got off the carriage.
Looking up, Xie Lan couldn't help but marvel at the magnificent building in front of him. It was worthy of being a royal academy. The main gate alone was extremely impressive.
However, this main gate is only opened during major events. On weekdays, the teachers and students of the academy enter and exit through the side door.
Because today is the registration time for the academy's March exam, this side door is crowded with students who are here to register as well as many family members who are here to see them off, so it's quite lively. However, family members are not allowed to enter.
Although the second senior brother was the headmaster of the academy, Xie Lan did not intend to do anything special. She glanced around, waved to Tiechui, and then slowly walked towards the queue at the door, queuing up to register like other students.
After entering the academy and walking a short distance ahead, there is a large open space. On the left are two tables, where two teachers are busy. One is responsible for checking the admission cards, and the other is responsible for registering the students who come to register.
There are dozens of tables and chairs on the right side. All registered students must pass the academy's assessment before they can be officially admitted.
There were seventy or eighty people in front of Xie Lan, but the two teachers were quite fast and it wasn't long before it was her turn. Taking the admission card out of her bag, Xie Lan handed it to the teacher respectfully with both hands.
The teacher in front of him was a little careless at first, but when he received the admission card, opened it and saw the handwriting on it, he was stunned.
The admission card of the Royal Academy was considered a part of the Royal family's reputation, and it was always written by Master Xun, who had the best calligraphy. But the admission card in his hand was actually written in the handwriting of the headmaster.
Master Lu quickly realized that this Miss Xie was the same Miss Xie that the dean had mentioned.
Everyone is curious, and Master Lu is no exception. He looked up and was surprised to find that she was a pretty girl.
However, Master Lu did not say much. He quickly registered Xie Lan's information and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, you can go back. Just come to the academy on time tomorrow for class."
"Yes, thank you for your help, Master." Xie Lan bowed to the Master with a smile and was about to turn around and go back home.
A dissatisfied voice came from the side, "Master, after registering, don't we still have to take the test and pass it before we can be admitted?
Why do others have to take the test, but this girl doesn't? Isn't this unfair to us?"
Xie Lan turned around and found that the person who spoke was a man of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was wearing an indigo-blue gown with silver-thread-edged cloud-patterned edging on the collar and cuffs. It was obvious at first glance that he was a wealthy young man.
Xie Lan glanced at him and then looked away, saying casually, "Because the academy's examination is too easy for me, I don't need to take it because I'm at a high level, but you guys have to."
She was telling the truth, and the dean had explained this matter to the two teachers, but others did not believe her.
The blue-shirted young man sneered, "You are good at it? That's really funny. If you are good at it, why do you come to the academy to study? Do you know that the tuition fee of the Royal Academy is five thousand taels? Are you dissatisfied with the money at home and have nowhere to spend it, so you come to the academy to squander it?"
Xie Lan almost couldn't help rolling his eyes, "Sir, do you live by the sea? Why do you mind my business? Am I eating your rice or spending your money? I can spend my own money however I want. I am happy to squander it. What does it have to do with you?"
The blue-shirted young man had never seen such an arrogant girl before, and was choked by her words for a moment. Seeing that the two teachers in charge of the examination did not say anything, he immediately questioned them, "Teachers, if you really want to do such a partiality thing, aren't you afraid that we will report it to the headmaster?"
The young master's words were already a threat. If they were really partial, they would definitely be angry. But the two teachers in charge of the recruitment looked very calm, because Xie Lan did not need to take the assessment test, which was something the headmaster had specifically instructed. So the young master's words could not threaten them at all.
However, seeing that everyone was looking at them with indignant expressions, the two teachers decided to explain something.
But before they could speak, a girl in academy uniform squeezed in from the crowd. She looked at Xie Lan timidly, "Sister, this is what's wrong with you. Since you want to study at the Royal Academy, how can you not take the assessment? Are you worried that you won't pass the assessment, so you don't want to take it?"
Actually, you don't have to worry. This test is very simple. Didn't your uncle give you some elementary school books to read? The content of the test is similar to the content of the books your uncle gave you. You should be able to pass the test."
Seeing Xie Yan, Xie Lan's eyes instantly turned cold. Originally, I thought that knowing that she came to the Royal Academy, this fourth sister would keep her tail between her legs, but I didn't expect that she couldn't wait to jump out and jump on the first day. Was she afraid that she would forget that she stole the admission ticket given to her by the county lady?
"Tsk, you said you didn't need to take the exam because you have a high level, but it turns out you don't want to take the exam because you are afraid of failing." The blue-shirted young man was so angry just now that he jumped up and down. After hearing what Xie Yan said, he couldn't help but mock her, "You just read a few elementary books and you dare to brag about your high level. You are really shameless."
There is no shortage of jealous people in this world. Those young men and women who came to apply for the exam felt unwilling when they heard that the teacher allowed Xie Lan not to take the examination.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but sneer, "Although the Royal Academy's exams are simple, not everyone can pass them. It's a joke that you want to compete with us after reading a few Mongolian books."
"Since this is a recruitment exam, then everyone should be treated equally. You can either give up studying at the academy or take the exam with us. If you pass the exam, you can stay. If you fail, then go back."
"Yes, either take the exam together or get out of here. No one should try to get special treatment."
Seeing more and more people making a fuss, the two teachers looked unhappy. They really thought that Miss Xie was a talented woman, and that she came to the Royal Academy just to gild her reputation and find a good marriage in the future, but they didn't expect that she only read a few elementary books?
If no one knew about this, they could turn a blind eye to it for the sake of the headmaster. But now that everyone was angry, they couldn't just ignore it.
Otherwise, if it gets out, it will ruin the reputation of their academy.
The two teachers were about to ask Xie Lan to join the test with everyone else when they saw a dignified man striding over and said in a cold voice, "What happened? Why are you all gathering together to make a noise? The test is about to start. Are you not going to participate?"
Seeing the person coming, Xie Lan's eyes widened and his mouth became so big that a goose egg could fit in it...
