In the Jin Palace, 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 apprentices on the street, who among the nobles of Chang'an didn't want to go directly to the back door? But Bai Fan hid and didn't see each other, no one could find him, if he found Zhongnan Academy directly, it would not have a good impact after all, so several noble ladies in Chang'an thought of Bai Fan's mother-in-law, Princess Zheng of Jin.

It just so happened that the Zheng family also wanted to find a son-in-law to send the two mothers' families over, so they thought of a trick and found Bai Fan with a letter, saying that they had not seen each other for a long time, and the Jin Wangfu put on a family banquet to ask his daughter and son-in-law to go home for dinner.

Li Wanping saw that her mother deceived herself and her husband so disregarding her identity, and she was so angry that she was about to throw off her sleeves and leave.

When Zheng saw that his daughter didn't help him, he was also aggrieved and said that he had been living for twenty years in vain, Bai Fan hurriedly persuaded him, and he really couldn't do it for this matter.

"Mother-in-law, all the aunts and sisters-in-law, all the people who can come today are my Bai Fan's best friends, who don't have one or two relatives and family members, they all want their children to find a good academy and good teacher, this is human nature.

But the academy only accepts 1,000 students this semester, this is a dead rule, and I Bai Fan is the most disciplined.

I welcome you to recommend students if you find me, 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 to the ladies and said.

Hearing this, Zheng first frowned and scolded: "What? Will the children we recommend be mediocre? are all smart and beautiful people, don't you kid rely on the Zhongnan Academy store to bully customers and look down on us? ”

Cheng Biting Jin's wife Cheng Pei said: "Yes, Jianzhi, I heard that you accepted an edible rice bucket apprentice on the street, and a five-year-old little doll, even the seven-year-old girl of the samurai family You have accepted, sister-in-law's maiden nephew, not much better than them?" ”

Mrs. Li Ji smiled: "You are a nephew, and I am the younger brother of my mother's family, and they are all close relatives." ”

Li Wanping interjected dissatisfiedly: "Mother, aunts, how can you be like this?

Fujun founded the academy in order to cultivate talents for the Tang Dynasty, and now it is open to the whole Datang to enroll students, once there is a trace of injustice, then the academy will be pointed out by a thousand people, you only care about your own interests, no one has thought about what will happen to Zhongnan Academy once this opening is opened?

There are only 1,000 places in the entire Datang, but everyone recommends one or two each, we have so many relatives and friends, and 1,000 places are not enough to divide at all, what will the people say about us at that time? ”

The queen's eldest grandson smiled and said to the Zheng family: "Sister, your daughter is really raised for nothing, and she doesn't speak to her mother's family at such a critical time, and she supports her husband's family."

Ping'er doesn't have to be dissatisfied, of course we know that for Jian Zhi's consideration, so many people in Datang have to enroll, but Jian Zhi only accepts 1,000 students, how is it enough? Each of our families has two places, so you can recruit another 1,000 students, train 2,000 students in one class, and then you can add more talents to Datang, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

We will select the talents from the family to send them over, you don't have to worry about the quality, you won't be embarrassed by your college. ”

Li Wanping was so angry, why did the second aunt of the queen, who has always been wise, also do this?

Bai Fan got up, walked to the center and shook his head and said, "I said, only recruit a thousand people, and don't recruit any more."

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

Just now you laughed at me for accepting a rice bucket disciple? Five-year-old child? I guess that's why you're here today.

Okay, since everyone thinks that I am unfair in everything, let's compare it, I have accepted four new apprentices, everyone here today, you can recommend as many people as you want, and try one or two with my four apprentices.

If anyone can win any of them, I Bai Fan didn't say a word, and accepted it as a personal disciple on the spot, if it can't compare to my four disciples, then this matter will not be mentioned again, not to mention that you are my relatives and friends, in the future, it will be my Bai Fan's son who will go to school, if it does not meet the admission rules of the academy, it 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 was tight, it was broken, I heard that Bai Fan was short, and he just said that other people's apprentices were rice buckets, and it seemed that he had provoked others.

"Oops! Look at my mouth, it's all my sister-in-law's bad, I accidentally said the wrong thing, Jianzhi, don't be angry, sister-in-law apologizes, these are all rumors in Chang'an City, it's really not my sister-in-law's heart, I don't mean to look down on the child. ”

Cheng Peishi hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Bai Fan.

Only then did everyone understand, it turned out that this was the case, what happened to this Mrs. Cheng? Isn't that a good thing for everyone?

The eldest grandson of the queen also persuaded: "Jianzhi, don't be angry, your sister-in-law of the Cheng family is indeed unintentional, as for the competition, why do you have to do this battle of will?"

As for whether they can enter the academy, it depends on their chances, we have no intention of meddling in the academy, and we will not make it difficult for you to do it. ”

At this point, everyone can no longer see the height of their eyebrows, it is really stupid, this time they are all the wives of various countries, and they have not seen any men come in person, and they are not embarrassed to speak, or dare not speak.

If it was Bai Fan back then, it would be fine, but now Bai Fan is an uncrowned king who can sit on an equal footing with His Majesty, who would dare to provoke? For the sake of this trivial matter, if you offend him, it will be more than worth the loss.

Let the ladies go out, even if there is a mistake, it is just a woman, and Bai Fan will not be unable to get along with women.

Bai Fan said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, it's not that I, Bai Fan, are stingy, everyone is a top nobleman in the Tang Dynasty, and all families are in important positions in the imperial court, our words and deeds are seen by others, we need to give an explanation to the people with actions, and the Li royal family is even more of an example."

I Bai Fan will decide the affairs of the academy in one word, you have no problem recommending students, just compare with my four disciples, if you can compare, you can go in, if you can't compare, then go to the dignified level, so it's not a bad rule, so be it!

There's something else going on at the academy, so I'll go back first. ”

After speaking, he pulled his wife Li Wanping and turned around and went out, leaving a group of women behind him to look at each other, this young man, in just a few years, has grown to such a point, and he is already an existence that everyone looks up to.

If Cheng Yanjin, who was stationed in the northeast, knew that today's wife had offended Bai Fan, he would definitely be furious, thinking that he Cheng Yanjin had been shrewd all his life, and he had always been proud of being the first to befriend Bai Fan, a potential person, and today he was broken by a female streamer, and it is estimated that Cheng Yanjin has the idea of divorce after knowing it.

After the ladies left one after another, Li Jiancheng came out to find the Zheng family, shook his head and sighed: "Why are you suffering? Your mother's Zheng family is once a family with five surnames and seven families, for the sake of a family that is in decline, is it worth it to evil your son-in-law? ”

Zheng's face turned bitter when he heard this, "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, I don't need 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 could beat his four newly recruited disciples, he could be accepted as an apprentice by himself, and those who could not pass could continue to go to the academy for assessment.

This competition is to test those students who are recommended to come, and all those who are privately recommended need to undergo a public competition to decide whether the college will accept it or not.

As soon as this news came out, all the people praised Bai Fan for being fair and selfless, and no one ever said that the academy was shady.

And in the Yingguo Mansion in Chang'an City, the warrior has not seen the shadow of the youngest daughter for a few days, this day I heard that the youngest daughter went to Zhongnan Academy to study without permission, and instantly became furious, a daughter is not at home to study female red, go out and show up, it's really embarrassing! Didn't you see that Bai Fan opened a girls' class but no one signed up?

"Come on, let's go, the eldest and the second are called, let them go to Zhongnan Academy to find the second girl for me, this girl is too jumpy, I will break her leg when I find it."
