Chapter 851: Each Family Buys Property in the Capital [2]

The young master wants several families to borrow the power of the Duke of Yan to buy property in the capital. This matter is very important and several families are looking forward to it, including Uncle Qin.

After hearing this, Uncle Qin finally regained some motivation. He sat down, took out the policy essays, and began to review them... He reviewed three policy essays very quickly.

When Mr. Jing saw this, he just paused and said nothing.

Qin Zhuang has been working like this for three days. Anyway, the students will definitely not accept it and will surround Qin Zhuang to ask for an explanation. Then Qin Zhuang will have to give a serious and reasonable criticism, otherwise the students will not let him go.

Thinking of this, Mr. Jing felt a bit more interested in watching the show.

In less than half an hour, the remaining dozen or so policy essays were all reviewed.

"Hahaha, I've finally finished reviewing these things. I can take a break now." Uncle Qin laughed loudly, leaning on the couch like a boneless person, pointing at Old Xun and Old Xun and saying, "If you dare to force me to work again, I'll jump into the river. Death is better than being exploited by you!"

Old Man Xun: "Hey, what are you talking about? I am on the same side as the Qin family, how could I possibly force you to work? It's all the poor kid's fault. He took on the job of reviewing this batch of policy papers, and we are both harmed by him!"

Uncle Qin agreed with this and said to Old Master Jing: "Since you have harmed us, you should pay us."

Master Jing: “…”

He's sick, I don't want to bother with him.

Master Jing called the two boys over and said, "Take the policy paper to Zilin and ask him to distribute it to the students. Take a look first. If you have any questions, come back tomorrow to ask."

"Yes." The two boys put the policy paper into a box, carried the box away, took it to Ying Zilin's residence, and gave it to Ying Zilin.

"Master and teacher have finished reviewing it." Ying Zilin was very happy and hurried to look for his own essay.

He wrote a total of four policy essays, and the first three were rated excellent, but one was rated as: thinking too much, worrying about nothing, being complacent, and very bad.

The signature is written in the character Qin.

This was reviewed by Qin Zhuang!

Ying Zilin was furious: "How dare Qin Zhuang?!"

A commoner, even if he had won the first place in the exam before, he was only the first place in the county, which is not a good place. Yet, relying on the face given by his master, he is so arrogant that he gives such a bad review to his policy essay!

Ying Zilin was dissatisfied and wanted to go find Uncle Qin to argue with him.

But he was trained by the Ying family after all, so he quickly calmed down and ordered the steward: "Go and invite the students to receive their own policy papers."

"Yes." The steward immediately took a few servants to each room to look for the students.

Soon, the students arrived.

Everyone looked at the comments on their own essays anxiously, and then they got angry because they discovered one thing.

"The comments given by those with the word Qin in their names are all bad..."

"This Qin must be Mr. Qin, right? How can a commoner like him give a bad review of our policy papers? All of us present here are at least Tongsheng students, how can a commoner like him comment on our scholarship?!"

"Even Mr. Jing gave three of my essays excellent, good, or average ratings. How could he, a nobody, a peasant, and a former slave, give my other essay a poor, poor, or terrible rating?!"

"I, Zhou Rong, refuse to accept the decision. I will go to him and ask for an explanation." Zhou Rong is only eighteen years old this year, but he is already a scholar, and he has taken the exam twice.

One time was during the Ningkang period, when he passed the examination for a scholar at the age of fourteen and became famous for a time.

But after the fall of Emperor Ningkang, in order to make his future career easier, he took the exam again in the first year of Wuxing, and passed it again with ease, and won two first places in the county government.

With such results, how could he be convinced by Uncle Qin's comments?

If he didn't make a fuss, he would be betraying the pride of a scholar!

There are many students who think this way, so many are willing to go with us.

"Brother Zhou is right. I, Xu Ji, will also go to find Qin to ask for clarification!" Xu Ji raised his voice and asked around: "Fellow students, who else is willing to go with me?!"

"I, Yu Chenghao, am willing to go with you."

"I am Zhao Wuming..."

"Si Pei of the Si family..."

"Shi Songxin of the Shi family..."

"In front of the Lu family road..."

Students signed up one after another, and soon there were more than fifty students who wanted to seek justice.

The remaining dozens of students have calmed down after their anger.

Si Feng came to Si Pei and tried to dissuade him: "Brother, Brother Ying Xue said that Master Qiong told us to take a good look at the policy paper after we get it. If we have any questions, we can ask him tomorrow... How about we go and ask Master Qiong tomorrow?"

"Si Feng, let me ask you, what is the most precious thing for young people and scholars?" Si Pei said without waiting for Si Feng to answer, "It is the spirit of not fearing anything. If you don't even have this spirit and can only endure when encountering things, then what is the point of speaking up for the people!"

Then he said, "Si Feng, if you are afraid, don't go with us."

After Si Pei finished speaking, he ran to Zhou Rong and said, "Brother Zhou, I will go with you now. If I don't get a reasonable explanation today, I will not retreat!"

"What a great man who never retreats!" Zhou Rong praised Si Pei a lot, and took the opportunity to ask the students: "Are you willing to advance with us and never retreat?"

"We will advance together and never retreat!" Dozens of students who were going to seek an explanation shouted, creating quite a bit of noise.

Ying Zilin: “…”

Ying Zilin was speechless. Can't you just calm down?

Forget it, whatever. But if Qin Zhuang scolds you this time, just don't cry.

That guy was very good at swearing, have you all forgotten it?

……

"Mr. Jing, the students have come to your building. They are dissatisfied with the comments and want to seek an explanation from Uncle Qin." After Xue Mingyi and Li Zhiyuan received the news from Ying Zilin, they hurried to report to Mr. Jing.

"What the hell? They dare to disobey those policy papers they wrote?" Uncle Qin knew that the food at Mr. Jing's place was good, so he stayed here to have dinner before going back to Weilou.

How did I know this news?

"Second Master, what should we do?" asked Old Xun hypocritically.

Uncle Qin rolled his eyes at him and said while eating: "What else can I do? Of course I will give them a good scolding. Do I have to hide from them?"

Hehe, old man Xun was amused and said quickly: "Second Master is right, let's not hide, let's scold him head-on."

Uncle Qin nodded and said to Xue Mingyi, "Mingyi, go to Weilou and call my Xiaogu, Erlang, Master Kang, Luo Min and the others to watch the show."

Xue Mingyi was a good boy, so he didn't do it immediately, but looked at Mr. Jing.

Seeing that Mr. Xun had no objection, Mr. Jing nodded and added, "Please invite Master Ji as well."

Watching a play can make people think deeply, so it would be very beneficial to invite Yan Ji to watch it.

"Yes." Xue Mingyi took Li Zhiyuan to call for help.

About half a minute later, Zhou Rong and his companions arrived. They all bowed and shouted in unison in front of the main door: "Student Zhou Rong and other fellow students want to see you, sir. Please take the time to meet with us and help us solve our problems!"

The soldiers guarding the gate reported their words to Jing Lao and others.

Master Jing said, "Wait until Master Ji, Qin Xiaogu and the others arrive, and then bring them in together."

"Yes." The soldiers received the order and went back to continue guarding the gate.

Another half a quarter of an hour later, Yan Ji, Qin Xiaogu, Kang Lang and a large group of people arrived.

"Everyone, go in." Seeing that everyone was present, the soldiers let them in through the gate.

"Everyone, take your essays and follow Rong in to see the teacher and discuss the explanation!" Zhou Rong immediately called the students and ran into the building.

"Hey." The students followed Zhou Rong.

After arriving at the open space in front of the main hall on the first floor, all the students followed Zhou Rong and knelt down.

Zhou Rong held up his policy paper, like a victim holding up a petition to protest his injustice, and shouted outside the main hall: "Student Zhou Rong has doubts about the comments on the policy paper, please help me solve my doubts!"
