C268 Inn by accident

After a few days had passed, Zhang Ying was bored to death in the courtyard. She disguised herself and secretly brought her two bodyguards, Guan Zuo and Guan You, with her, out onto the street.

The scene in Huai Nan City was not bad as well. She found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and then poured and drank by herself.

She heard a few scholars beside her discussing it. One of them said, "This year is the first time the Imperial Examinations have been held. None of you have gone to try it out."

Another one said with a smile, "Who knows if this is true or not. How could there be such a good thing? This will allow us Humble Class s to also have a chance to rise above the masses."

At this time, a person on the table next to them said: "What you guys said is not right. King Huainan has repeatedly practiced new laws and even dotes on the people, to the point where he did not hesitate to throw away his position as Crown Prince for the sake of the people of this world.

Furthermore, he has always been on bad terms with the various families, always thinking for our Humble Class. We have no reason to doubt such a benevolent king.

Right now, he is residing in the Jade Spring Academy. Our Holy Water Academy has brought a total of eighty-six people here, all for the examination system this time.

We are willing to be a pioneer for all the scholars of the world, and also to help scout out a path for us Humble Class, but I believe that the implementation of this examination system will be fraught with difficulties.

Those mischievous people will definitely punish them for doing so, because this system has shaken the foundations of the aristocratic families. As for us Humble Class, if we do not stand up for ourselves at this time, how can we repay the King?

Duan Xinxin's words were loud and powerful, causing the few people to blush from embarrassment. Each and every one of them was subservient, showing off their superiority.

Zhang Ying lightly clapped her hands and said, "Brother, you're right, but I feel that you shouldn't kill an aristocratic family in one hit. This is an aristocratic family, after all, they are mostly good people."

Duan Xin Chou lightly smiled and said: "I assume that this brother of yours is also a descendant of a noble family, then I won't argue with you. The world is murky, and those who understand it will understand it for themselves; as long as you go outside and take a look, you will know whether I'm right or not."

Zhang Ying said with a smile, "I don't think that what you've said is wrong. There are indeed a lot of good-for-nothings in the aristocratic families today, but you really think that the imperial examination system can be used to govern."

Take your brother for example. If you become a high-ranking official through the imperial examinations, your family will surely rise to prominence. Wouldn't it mean that you'll become a new family, and not be any different from the old ones? "

It was obvious that Duan Xin Chou had his own plans, so he laughed and said: "Seems like lady still hasn't seen through the nature of the Imperial examinations. It's true that a new aristocratic family will appear through the Imperial examinations, but this is also a huge blow to the old aristocratic family.

And because the new aristocratic families didn't have any privileges, if they wanted their families to prosper, they would have to strictly manage their children. At the very least, they would have to read the Book of Virtue, or else they would be eliminated.

The next generation after generation of this exam continued to have mixed emotions, leaving behind only elites. Although it was not enough to completely eradicate this disease, it would at least minimize the risk of harm.

"The two evils compared to the light one, I believe that this examination system is an unprecedented innovation, and with the rise of this system, the end result will inevitably be the demise of the aristocratic families."

Zhang Ying was rendered speechless by Duan Xinxiang's words. However, she thought of something and said, "What you just said is indeed very enlightening. I really admire you. But, I don't know why you addressed me as' Miss' earlier."

Sun Yunfeng, who was standing next to Duan Xin Dong, laughed and said, "I can tell that you've been staying in your room for a long time.

Look at your outfit. The holes in your ears are extremely obvious, and a strand of black hair is faintly discernible. Do you think we are blind, or do you think we are stupid? "

Zhang Ying's pretty face instantly turned red. Duan Xin Dong hurriedly scolded Sun Yunfeng, "Junior, don't be so rude. How did the Book of Virtue teach us? How can we make fun of others? Hurry up and apologize to the young lady."

Sun Yunfeng stood up and saluted, "I just saw Meng Lang. I hope Miss doesn't mind."

Guan Zuo slammed on the table and said loudly: "You can just say that. Our family's young miss is a proud daughter of heaven, how can she allow you to tease her. Look, I will break your teeth right now."

"This is Huai Nan, we are all equal. You'd better take back your noble family's style, although my junior brother is wrong, he has already admitted his wrongs to all of you. If you want to make a move, then I will accompany you to the end."

Guan You shouted, "You brat, you still dare to be stubborn. Take a punch from me."

As he spoke, he lifted up the claypot sized fist and directly punched over. This fist was also full of power, and Duan Xinxiang's expression did not change. He casually waved his sleeve and hit that fist.

The two of them grunted at the same time and took two steps back. They were secretly surprised at each other's cultivation base and did not dare to attack again.

Zhang Ying shouted, "Who asked you two to talk so much? Hurry up and get out of the way!" My two servants are both reckless people, I hope Young Master Duan doesn't mind. "

Duan Xin Dong snorted and said: "I think you're used to being arrogant and despotic. Luckily I have some ability, otherwise, that punch just now would have taken my life.

Let me advise Miss one more time, Huai Nan isn't a place where you can act as you please. I'll be at the Jade Spring Academy, and if you want to find trouble with me, I'll accompany you anytime. " With that, he turned around and left.

Zhang Ying's eyes lit up as she watched the two leave. She turned around and said to the Guan brothers, "This place isn't in South China. You two are really idiots. Why aren't you coming back with me?"

On the way, Sun Yunfeng said to Duan Xin Chou, "Just now, that girl seemed to be a noble person. Senior even told her where you lived, would it cause any unnecessary trouble?"

"I believe what everyone says is true in a place like Huai Nan. If we really cause trouble for the government, if we protect them, we don't have to stay in Huai Nan."

Sun Yunfeng hurriedly said, "However, the Jade Spring Academy has a special position in Huai Nan, and the Headmaster's son, Zhou Qing, is the head of the King Huainan. I imagine that those people wouldn't dare to act rashly."

"Junior, don't say that again in the future. We need to rely on ourselves, not those so-called external affairs. If you have such thoughts, how can you continue to improve?"

Sun Yunfeng was also an upright scholar. He smiled and nodded his head, but then said, "I didn't ask for the name of that lady just now. She is quite handsome, and seems to be a match made in heaven with senior."

Duan Xin Dong smiled as he shook his head, but Zhang Ying's appearance unconsciously appeared in his mind.
