Chapter 56 Seating Arrangement
Shangguan Zhengming said with emotion: "That's true. Under Zhao Gongming's guidance, I not only learned a wealth of knowledge, but also learned how to put what I learned into practice. I began to pay attention to the people's livelihood and think about how to solve practical problems."
The atmosphere in the carriage became even heavier, and Shangguan Zhengming's words seemed to hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
"When I was about to leave the academy, Mr. Zhao Gongming gave me a sentence, 'Life is like a dream, but don't regret it.' This sentence made me understand that no matter how difficult the future road is, as long as I have firm beliefs and move forward courageously, I will have no regrets in my life."
Zhang Anjie said excitedly: "Lecturer Shangguan, your experience has inspired us deeply. We should also be like you, firm in our beliefs and move forward courageously."
Shangguan Zhengming smiled and patted Zhang Anjie on the shoulder: "I believe you can all do it. Everyone's path is different, but as long as you have faith and persevere, you will be able to realize your dreams."
The atmosphere in the carriage became relaxed again, and everyone nodded, indicating that they would keep Shangguan Zhengming's teachings in mind.
The carriage continued to move along the ancient road, and the stones creaked as the wheels rolled over them.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Imperial College safely.
Shangguan Zhengming and others got off the car.
"You are really united and encouraging each other. The Imperial College is really proud to have positive students like you!" Shangguan Zhengming looked at them with satisfaction.
Shangguan Zhengming's words were like a spring breeze, warming everyone's hearts. Jiang Zhiyu and others straightened their backs, their eyes were firm and their spirits were high.
Jiang Zhiyu spoke first, his voice firm and powerful: "Mr. Shangguan, don't worry, although we all have different personalities, we all have a common goal, which is to work hard for ourselves and for the glory of the Imperial College. We will definitely not let you down!"
Liu Mengmeng smiled lightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "Yes, sir, each of us has our own unique skills. Sister Xiao Wen's poetry and songs, Brother Qi Zimo's martial arts, and Brother Zhang Anjie's calligraphy, which one is not the pride of the Imperial College?"
Xiao Wen's cheeks flushed slightly, she lowered her head slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Meng Meng is right, we each have our own strengths, but we are all working towards the same goal. I will definitely work harder, bring poetry and songs to the extreme, and bring honor to the Imperial College."
Qi Zimo laughed loudly, and said proudly: "Of course, my martial arts skills will not disappoint you. When the Imperial College Martial Arts Competition comes, I will definitely win the championship and win honor for the Imperial College!"
Zhang Anjie looked deep in his eyes and said slowly: "Although I am not good at speaking, I will use my calligraphy to pass on the spirit of the Imperial College. Let more people know that the Imperial College has not only cultivated talents with both literary and martial arts, but also students like us who love traditional culture."
Zou Ting patted his chest, full of confidence: "As for me, I will use my wisdom to provide more academic resources for the students of the Imperial College. Let us enrich our knowledge and contribute to the development of the country."
Liao Zhen smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "I will do my best to help my classmates solve their problems. Let everyone feel the warmth in this big family of the Imperial College."
Xu Guokun smiled and said: "I will use my experience to help everyone grow better."
Hu Jiahong straightened his chest and said in a loud voice: "I will use my strength to protect the peace of the Imperial College. Let every student study with peace of mind."
Kang Yining's eyes were like torches, and his tone was firm: "I, Kang Yining, am willing to make every effort for the prosperity of the country and the glory of the Imperial College!"
Shangguan Zhengming listened to everyone's speeches and felt extremely gratified. He knew that these students were the pride of the Imperial College and the future of the country. He looked at them affectionately and said, "You are all the elites of the Imperial College and the pillars of the country. But I hope you remember that behind the honor is countless sweat and hard work. You must cherish your time in the Imperial College, keep learning, and keep improving yourself."
"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, their voices resounding through the sky.
"Yeah, you all did well in this ten-day exam. I will go to the Xuan class to arrange seats for you next." Shangguan Zhengming looked at them with satisfaction.
"Okay!" everyone answered in unison
Shangguan Zhengming smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the Xuan class of the Imperial College. Following his footsteps, Jiang Zhiyu and others excitedly whispered.
"I heard that the positions in the Xuan class are based on grades. We will definitely be able to sit in the front this time!" Liu Mengmeng said excitedly.
"Of course. We are the best in this ten-day exam, so our position will definitely not be bad." Xiao Wen responded confidently.
Soon, Shangguan Zhengming arrived at the Xuan class. This was a spacious and bright classroom, surrounded by bookshelves filled with various classics. In the middle of the classroom was a long table, where students sat down in order of their grades.
Shangguan Zhengming stood in front of the long table, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Based on your grades, I have arranged seats for you. Jiang Zhiyu, you are ranked first."
When Jiang Zhiyu heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he nodded quickly.
"Liu Mengmeng, Xiao Wen, you are in the second and third seats. Next are Qi Zimo, Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, Liao Zhen, Xu Guokun, Hu Jiahong, and Kang Yining. Please sit down in order."
Everyone sat down, and the classroom fell silent. Shangguan Zhengming continued, "You are all the future pillars of our country. I hope you can study hard in the Imperial College, help each other, and make progress together."
At this time, Jiang Zhiyu couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Shangguan, why can't we choose the position according to the grades?"
Shangguan Zhengming smiled and explained, "In the Imperial College, position is not the most important thing. The most important thing is your mentality. Sitting in the front may make you feel proud and complacent; sitting in the back may make you feel inferior. I hope you can focus on learning, not position."
Everyone nodded in understanding. Jiang Zhiyu said with emotion: "Mr. Shangguan, you really have good intentions!"
In the Xuanzi Class 4 of the Imperial College, everyone was talking about how the poor students in the Huang Class were like sparrows that had flown to the branches to become phoenixes, especially that Jiang Zhiyu, who no one knew what tricks he had used!
"As students of the Xuan class, you don't study hard and read books, but instead you keep talking nonsense!" Deng Ziqiu was so angry that he didn't expect that everyone was so jealous.
"Oh oh oh, our Deng Ziqiu, is Young Master Deng going to risk his life for the beauty he loves?" Xiang Tiange smiled mockingly with ill intent.
