Deputy Chief Zhao said with a smile: "Zhao knows that everyone has time out of their busy schedules, so these arguments can be discussed later. Why don't you get on the boat first and talk about the rules for the women's court first?"

"Gu thought that what he was going to establish this time was the rules of the academy, to reconcile the conflict between the men's and women's courts, so it was just for the women's court?" Gu Jingyun didn't take the steps he gave him at all, and said lightly: " If you only set rules for the women's college, then Gu will leave, I'm the gentleman of the men's college, and I don't teach in the women's college, I'm afraid I don't have the right to dictate."

This time, most of the teachers from Songshan Academy looked ugly, because this time they only brought three teachers from the women's school, and the rest were from the men's school.

If the non-women's faculty members are really to be eliminated, how many of them are left in Songshan College?

Everyone looked at Vice Chancellor Zhao, and the smile on Vice Chancellor Zhao's face couldn't be maintained anymore. He turned to Vice Chancellor Mei and asked meaningfully, "Brother Mei, why didn't you say a word today? It's still Qingxi Academy this time. Master Gu is in charge?"

Deputy Shanchang Mei put on a good-natured look, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you are being polite. Although Mr. Gu is an official in the court, it is better to call him Mr. in the academy. As for who is the master of Qingxi Academy, our Qingxi Academy The academy has always been open-minded, and every gentleman's opinion is very important, I think Mr. Gu and Mr. Ji are right."

Deputy Chief Zhao choked.

He didn't know that Deputy Head Mei was even more annoyed than him. He didn't expect that the leader of Songshan Academy this time was actually Deputy Head Zhao. This person was a person who strongly opposed the reopening of women's schools when the imperial decree was issued. He even went to Qingxi Academy before. to lobby.

Unexpectedly, Songshan Academy would choose him to lead the team this time, Vice-President Mei had given up much hope for this meeting.

Now that he had given up hope for the meeting, Vice-Chancellor Mei was no longer in the mood to exchange pleasantries. He looked up at the sun and said, "It's getting late, everyone must be hungry, why not get on the boat first, after lunch talk."

Anyway, this time the expenses are divided equally between the two academies, so it is treated as public funds for eating and drinking. Since it is destined to have no results, the time should not be wasted, it is better to enjoy the food first.

Deputy Shanzhang Mei moved aside, and asked Deputy Shanzhang Zhao to come up first.

Deputy Shanzhang Zhao was also polite, nodded and stepped onto the boards that had been put out to the boat. Deputy Shanzhang Mei followed, and the students from the two academies walked side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, without letting anyone else go.

Sure enough, as in the legend, the two academies have always loved and killed each other.

Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu were the youngest, so they let them go first. Mr. Ji was about to follow but was pulled by Gu Jingyun, and he stopped.

Gu Jingyun frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't Chief Huang Shan come?"

Mr. Ji sighed, "I heard that the eldest princess is ill, and Huang Shanchang temporarily changed his itinerary to go back to visit the eldest princess. Who knew that Songshan Academy would be changed to be led by deputy head Zhao? We only received the news when we arrived here, and we want to postpone the time to discuss later. It's too late."

Li Baolu: "Then if the talks collapse today, will the two academies meet again for discussion?"

Mr. Ji smiled and said: "Prince Huangshan is open-minded. For the sake of the academy, even if the meeting fails this time, I will make an appointment again next time. But I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while. After all, the princess is so old that she doesn't know about this disease." When will it be better?"

"It's fine if we can still talk," Li Baolu pulled Gu Jingyun and said, "Don't be polite for a while, don't just vomit blood if you can get angry to death."

Gu Jingyun patted her head amusedly, and took her by the hand to board the boat.

Three large tables had already been set up on the boat, and the meals had already been prepared. Seeing that everyone had come up, the servants set up their chopsticks and served the dishes.

Vice-Chancellor Mei and Vice-Chancellor Zhao led the leaders of the academy to sit at the first table, and the rest sat at two tables.

The gentlemen of Qingxi Academy saw that Gu Jingyun was standing next to Li Baolu without moving, so they knew that he did not intend to sit at the first table, so they gave the first place at the third table to the two of them.

Although they are young, they should still consider their status when they really sit at the table. Among the people present, Gu Jingyun has the highest status. Even if he can't sit at the head of the first table, he can still sit at the head of Vice President Mei.

Gu Jingyun looked sideways at Li Baolu, bowed slightly to Mr. Su, and asked him to sit in the first place.

Mr. Su hesitated, but Gu Jingyun had already pulled Li Baolu to sit in Mr. Su's seat, and he himself sat under Mr. Su's head.

At their table, Mr. Su was the oldest, and had taught at Qingxi Academy for the longest time.

Seeing that Gu Jingyun respected the old man, everyone felt better about him, and all sat down with smiles.

Mr. Huang snorted softly from his nostrils, and Mr. Ji tugged at his sleeve, and gave him a warning look.

Usually you can make trouble in the academy, but you can't be ashamed in front of Songshan Academy.

Mr. Huang has been teaching at Qingxi Academy for nearly ten years. He knows the relationship between the two academies well, and naturally he will not lose the chain, so he just snorted softly.

It was the end of autumn, the last moment of fish and crab glory, so the two academies ordered a whole fish feast, most of which were various aquatic products, which were Li Baolu's favorite.

Gu Jingyun was weak and couldn't eat too much crab meat. He knew that Baolu liked to eat it but was not very good at peeling it, so he took one and peeled it for her.

Li Baolu picked some of his favorite vegetarian dishes for him. The husband and wife cooperated tacitly, and the eating speed seemed slow, but in fact it was very fast.

They always envied the people at their table so much that they wanted to beat them up.

Even Mr. Su, who is the oldest, couldn’t be happier. Before he knew it, he should have asked the deputy mountain chief if he could bring his family. Speaking of which, his old lady followed him to the academy to eat and drink when he was young.

At that time, the women's college was still there, and when the academy held a banquet, you could bring the female relatives with you and communicate with the female students...

Now that the girls' school has reopened, I don't know if the academy will hold such a banquet...

Mr. Su picked up the fish belly with his chopsticks, thinking thoughtfully, it seems that the women's courtyard must be settled down as soon as possible, otherwise some things will be in the foreseeable future.

Food is silent, although the atmosphere between the two academies is a bit tense, and they really want to quarrel, but it is not good to bicker during meals, not to mention that they are really hungry.

Everyone came out after class in the morning, and they didn't have lunch. Now it's past their usual meal time, so their stomachs are empty.

After eating half a bowl of rice, the stomach that had been protesting felt better. Everyone's mood improved, and the tense atmosphere between each other was slightly relaxed. In addition, the food was unbelievable. As the eating time prolongs, everyone's mood gets better.

By the time they stopped their chopsticks, the atmosphere of confrontation between each other had disappeared.

Deputy Shanzhang Zhao wiped his lips with a handkerchief, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Gu is a great talent. Although he is young, he can compete with all Confucians in the Confucian classics meeting in your courtyard. No one can beat him. It's not as good as today." We also give a topic for them to debate?"

Vice Chancellor Mei glanced at Gu Jingyun, who was talking with Li Baolu in a low voice, and smiled at Vice Chancellor Zhao: "This time we are here to discuss the conflict between the men's and women's colleges, and the debate takes up a lot of time. I Qingxi Academy has no Prepare, only let the students study for half a day, if this afternoon is spent on debating, where will they find the time to discuss the rules of the academy? If Brother Zhao wants the two academies to hold a debate meeting, it is better to find another one later Time, how about we invite some literati and scholars to judge?"

Zhao Fushan said with a deep smile: "The length of this debate depends on the size and controversy of the topic. If the topic is small, I'm afraid everyone will decide the winner in a few sentences. What took up too much time is that the rumors are wrong, Mr. Gu is not as talented as the rumors."

Gu Jingyun took a sip of boiled water, put down the teacup, looked sideways at his hands, cupped his hands and smiled, "Deputy Shanzhang, what Deputy Shanzhang Zhao said is right, I just thought of a very small issue, why don't you bring it up for everyone to debate?" debate?"

Without waiting for Deputy Chief Zhao to speak, Gu Jingyun continued to ask questions, "Occasionally, I heard that some people questioned whether the imperial examination can really select talents for the country. I listened carefully, and there were only three reasons for their doubts. The first question is whether the testees’ real talents and knowledge can be assessed; the second is whether the questions in the imperial examination meet the needs of the country; the third is whether the imperial examination is fair and strict. I don’t know what Songshan Academy thinks.”

Mr. Qiu sneered and said, "Needless to say, our Songshan Academy is naturally approving, otherwise, why should our academy teach students consistently for ten years, and take pride in the admission rate of the imperial examination? It is a work made by the adults of the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Rites. It is natural and comprehensive, and it can represent Dachu to assess students, and students are all proud of being able to stand out in the imperial examination." The reference rate and admission rate of students are much lower, is this suspicious of the imperial examination?"

Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "Unfortunately, Qingxi Academy also agrees with this. If Qingxi Academy has doubts about the imperial examination, it will not hire me, the number one scholar with a previous record."

Li Baolu couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, cupped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you Mr. Qiu for complimenting my husband."

Mr. Qiu was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while for him to realize that he almost vomited blood.

He praised the imperial examinations, saying that the imperial examinations were difficult, but Gu Jingyun was the number one scholar in the previous examinations. Wasn't he praising Gu Jingyun's intelligence and talent in disguise?

It just refuted the words of the deputy mountain chief just now.

Deputy Chief Zhao also heard Gu Jingyun's implication, and his face was a little ugly.

Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "It seems that there is no suspense in this topic, so our two academies can be regarded as a tie."

Mr. Huang said with a sneer: "As expected, you can argue clearly in a few sentences, which is considered to be in line with the requirements of Vice-Shan Zhao. It's just that it's hard for Mr. Qiu to praise Mr. Gu. But it's useless if you praise him any more. Although he is a fourth-rank Hanlin, he is impartial and selfless, so he can't help you."

This is clearly sowing discord, saying that he wants to curry favor with Gu Jingyun.

Mr. Qiu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and looked anxiously at Deputy Head Zhao. He swore that he really didn't want to curry favor with Gu Jingyun.

Seeing that he was staring at him eagerly in public, Deputy Director Zhao couldn't help but glared at him. Of course he wouldn't be fooled by Mr. Huang. If Mr. Qiu really wanted to please Gu Jingyun, he wouldn't have troubled his wife in public just now. It's just that you see what i mean?

Am I that stupid in your eyes, such a small belly?
