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

"Gu Mou thought that this time it was about setting up the rules of the academy, to reconcile the conflicts between the men's school and the women's school. Did he just set the rules for the women's school?" Gu Jingyun didn't take the steps he gave at all, and said lightly: " If you only set the rules for the women's school, then Gu will leave. The next is the gentleman of the men's school, and he doesn't teach in the women's school, so I'm afraid he is not qualified to point fingers."

   Most of the teachers from Songshan Academy are not looking good, because this time they only brought three teachers who teach in the women's school, and the rest are gentlemen from the men's school.

   If we really want to eliminate the faculty and staff of non-women's academies, how many of them are left in Songshan Academy?

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 in a meaningful way, “Brother Mei didn’t say a word today, it’s the Qingxi Academy this time. Is Master Gu calling the shots?"

Deputy Mountain Chief Mei had a good temper and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you are very polite. Although Mr. Gu is an official in the court, it is still good to call him Mr. in the academy. As for who is in charge of Qingxi Academy, we Qingxi The academy has always been open-minded, and every gentleman's opinion is very important, and I think Mr. Gu and Mr. Ji have a good opinion."

   Deputy Chief Zhao choked.

Little did he know that Deputy Head Mei was even more annoyed than him. He didn't expect that this time Songshan Academy was led by Deputy Head Zhao. This person was the one who strongly opposed the reopening of women's schools under the imperial decree. He even went to Qingxi Academy before. to lobby.

   I didn't expect that Songshan Academy would choose him to lead the team this time. Deputy Head Mei no longer had much hope for this meeting.

Since he had lost hope for the meeting, Deputy Chief Mei was no longer in the mood to greet him, he looked up at the sun and said, "It's getting late, everyone must be hungry, why don't you get on the boat first, and then after lunch? talk."

   Anyway, this time the cost is divided equally between the two major academies, so it is treated as public money to eat and drink. Since it is doomed to be fruitless, then the time should not be let down. Let’s enjoy the food first.

   Deputy Chief Mei stepped aside and reached out and asked Deputy Chief Zhao to come first.

   Vice-Chancellor Zhao was not polite, nodded and stepped onto the board that was put out on the shelf and walked to the boat. Vice-Chancellor Mei followed, and the gentlemen from the two major academies walked side by side, one by one, and no one was allowed.

   Sure enough, just like 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 catch up but was pulled by Gu Jingyun, so he stopped.

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

Mr. Ji sighed, "I heard that the eldest princess is ill, and Huangshan Chang temporarily changed his schedule to go back to visit the eldest princess. Who knew that Songshan Academy would be changed to be led by Deputy Mountain Master Zhao? We only received the news when we arrived here, and we want to postpone the discussion. It's too late."

  Li Baolu: "Then if the talks collapsed today, will the two academies reunite for discussion?"

Mr. Ji smiled and said: "Huangshan is open-minded, for the sake of the academy, even if this negotiation breaks down, he will make another appointment next time, but I'm afraid it will take a while, after all, the eldest princess is old, and this disease is unknown. When will it be okay?"

   "As long as we can talk," Li Baolu pulled Gu Jingyun and said, "Don't be polite for a while, don't just vomit blood if you can kill your popularity."

  Gu Jingyun patted her head amusingly, and took her hand onto the boat.

  Three large tables have been set up on the boat, and the food has already been prepared. The people who see everyone have come up and set their chopsticks to serve the dishes.

   Deputy Chief Mei and Deputy Chief 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 beside Li Baolu and did not move, they knew that he did not intend to sit at the first table, so they gave the first place in the third table to the two of them.

  Although they are young, they should still consider their identity when they are actually seated. Gu Jingyun's identity is the highest among the people present. Even if they can't sit at the top of the first table, they can also sit at the bottom of Vice-Chancellor 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 down in Mr. Su's seat, and sat under Mr. Su himself.

   Mr. Su is the oldest at their table, and has been teaching at the Qingxi Academy for the longest time.

   Seeing the old man Gu Jingyun, everyone felt better about him, and they all laughed and took their seats.

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

   You can do whatever you want 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 and naturally will not fall off the chain, so he just snorted.

   It was the end of autumn, and it was the last moment of the glory of fish and crabs, so the two major academies set a whole fish feast, and most of them were all kinds of aquatic products, which was Li Baolu’s favorite.

  Gu Jingyun was weak and couldn't eat more 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 brought him some vegetarian dishes that he liked to eat. The couple cooperated tacitly. The eating speed looked slow, but it was actually fast.

   Envy the people at the table with them and want to beat them up.

   Even the eldest Mr. Su couldn’t be happy anymore. If he knew, he should have asked the deputy mountain chief if he could bring his family. Speaking of which, his old wife also followed him to the academy to eat and drink when she was young.

   At that time, the women's school was still there. When the school held a banquet, you could bring the women's family with you and communicate with the schoolgirls...

   Now that the girls' school has reopened, I wonder if the academy will hold such a banquet...

  Mr. Su took a chopstick of fish belly. If he thought about it, it seemed that he had to settle the women's house as soon as possible, otherwise some things would be in the future.

  I didn't say a word, although the atmosphere between the two academies was a bit tense, and they wanted to quarrel with each other, but it was not good to bicker during dinner, not to mention they were really hungry.

   Everyone came out after the morning class, and lunch was not used. Now it’s past the usual meal time, so the stomach is empty.

   After half a bowl of rice, the stomach that had been protesting felt a little better, everyone's mood improved, and the tense atmosphere between each other was slightly relaxed.

   When they stopped the chopsticks, the atmosphere of confrontation between them had disappeared.

Deputy Mountain Chief 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 fight against the Confucian scholars at your academy's classics conference. No one can match. We also give an issue for them to argue?"

Deputy Head Mei glanced at Gu Jingyun, who was talking to Li Baolu in a low voice, and smiled at Deputy Head Zhao: "This time we are here to discuss the conflict between the male and female schools, and the debate takes up a lot of time. Prepare, let the students study by themselves for half a day. If this afternoon is spent on debates, where will they take the time to discuss the rules of the academy? If Brother Zhao wants the two major academies to hold a debate, why don't you find it later? Time, how about we invite some scholars and scholars to judge?"

Zhao Fushan said without a smile: "The length of this debate depends on the size and controversy of the issue. If the topic is small, I'm afraid that each person will decide the winner in three or two sentences. It takes up too much time, or the rumors are wrong, and 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 hand, and smiled with his hands: "Deputy Mountain Chief, Deputy Mountain Chief Zhao is right, I just thought of a very small issue, why don't you take it out and let everyone argue. debate?"

Without waiting for Deputy Chief Zhao to speak, Gu Jingyun immediately asked the question, "Occasionally I heard people questioning whether the imperial examination can really be selected for the country. I listened carefully, and there are only three reasons for their doubts. Whether the questions can be used to assess the candidates’ true ability and knowledge; the second is whether the questions asked by the imperial examination meet the needs of the country; the third is whether the imperial examination is fair and rigorous. I don’t know what Songshan Academy thinks.”

Mr. Qiu sneered and said, "Does it need to be said, our Songshan Academy naturally has an attitude of approval, otherwise why would our academy have been teaching students for ten years and proud of the admission rate of the imperial examination? It is the heartfelt work of all the adults in the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Rites. It is naturally comprehensive and can represent the great Chu in assessing students, and students should be proud of being able to stand out in the imperial examination." He glanced at Gu Jingyun and said, "It's the Qingxi Academy for the past two years. The reference rate and admission rate of students are much lower, is this suspicious of the imperial examination?"

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Unfortunately, my Qingxi Academy also approves of this. If Qingxi Academy has doubts about the imperial examination, it will not hire me, the former champion."

  Li Baolu couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, and thanked him, "Thank you Mr. Qiu for complimenting my husband."

  Mr. Qiu was stunned for a moment, but it took a moment for him to react, and he almost vomited blood.

   He praised the imperial examination and said that the imperial examination was difficult, but Gu Jingyun was the top scholar in the previous examination. Wasn't he complimenting Gu Jingyun's intelligence and talent in disguise?

   just refuted what the Deputy Mountain Chief just said.

   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 on this topic, then our two academies are in a tie."

Mr. Huang sneered and said: "And as expected, you can argue clearly in three or two sentences, which is also considered to meet the requirements of Vice-Chancellor Zhao, but it is difficult for Mr. Qiu, and you even go around to praise Mr. Gu. But it is useless for you to praise him, Although he is a fourth-rank Hanlin, he is impartial and selfless and can't help you."

   This is to sow discord, saying that he wants to please Gu Jingyun.

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

Seeing him staring at him in public, Deputy Chief Zhao couldn't help but glared at him secretly. Of course he wouldn't be fooled by Mr. Huang. If Mr. Qiu really wanted to please Gu Jingyun, he wouldn't have bothered his wife in public just now. What do you mean by look at me?

  I am so stupid in your eyes, so small belly?
