Chapter 179 Mu Yang's Unique Skill
Songhai Academy started classes during the fifth lunar month, with the final examination during the beginning of the eighth lunar month. After the exam, the classes of students in Wen Yantong's group were then released from the Academy.
Those who pass the exam or have excellent grades will be appointed officials by the joint approval of the Ministry of Appointments and the most senior minister. If the student were to have failed the exam, but without serious fault during their time spent in the Academy, they would be sent home. This meant they could study again to reapply or do other things.
The Shaojing Dynasty inherited the old system of the previous dynasty and has been advocating literature for thousands of years. It had long perfected its system in terms of Academy-related imperial examinations.
Songhai Academy was the most special academy in Shaojing. It was difficult to get in or out. Such a matter was never mentioned in the original book, but was the result of Wen Yantong's own experiments in exchange for her blood and tears after she came to this world.
If she had filed for discharge from the Academy, it would first be submitted to the dean, and then handed upwards, sector by sector. Let alone how troublesome this process was and whether it would be approved, about the time she would get the final verdict, Wen Yantong had already left Songhai Academy, so there was no need to waste that effort.
There were only three short months left.
Besides, with Chi Jingxi backing her, she was no longer as nervous as before.
Wen Yantong seldom made any stops during her trip from Chaoge to Chang'an, so she arrived in a little over ten days.
The first thing to do when she arrived at Chaoge was to visit Mu Yang who broke his arm while reciting a book on a tree.
In order to prevent being stopped outside the general's mansion, Wen Yantong went to find Fu Zixian first.
Fu Zixian’s height shot up during the holiday. When he came out, Wen Yantong almost didn't recognize him.
Now that the weather was getting warmer, everyone had put aside their heavy clothes, and Fu Zixian, in a bright yellow gown, looked even more handsome because of his stature. He still shyly smiled, but this time it held a bit of warmth, "When did Brother Wen arrive?"
Wen Yantong clicked her tongue, "Brother Wen? Brother Wen? It hasn’t been that long since we’ve seen each other, yet you’ve already started to speak so formally to me."
She was really annoyed by the call ‘Brother Wen’.
Fu Zixian smiled helplessly, "It's my fault, I forgot that you didn’t like to be addressed as such."
Wen Yantong laughed and said, "I've just arrived two days ago. When I heard about Mu Yang's accident in Chang'an, I couldn't sit still, so I hurried to Chaoge."
Fu Zixian replied, "Young Master Mu's injury is almost healed, do you want to visit?"
Wen Yantong nodded, "Of course."
Thus, Fu Zixian asked someone to prepare the carriage.
Fu Zixian was now one and half head taller than Wen Yantong, with composure in every gesture. He used to always be so meek, but now his timidity was no longer easily exposed.
Boys would sprout overnight, and Fu Zixian grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
While sitting in the carriage, Wen Yantong chatted with Fu Zixian.
"Did you and Mu Yang often meet during this vacation?"
Fu Zixian thought for a while, "It could be considered as such. After his arm was injured, General Mu often sent me invitations."
Wen Yantong was surprised, "General Mu? Didn't he always dislike Mu Yang associating with you?"
Fu Zixian nodded, "It was like this in the past. He would glare at me everytime he saw me, but as time went on, General Mu didn't seem to care anymore. After that, he would persuade me to visit Mu Residence often, and even request me to stay overnight. In the end, my father personally met with General Mu, only then did the number of invitations decrease."
Wen Yantong wanted to laugh, "This must be Mu Yang's doing."
Fu Zixian seemed to have thought of something funny as his smile suddenly deepened.
Wen Yantong then asked, "Did he really fall off the tree while reciting a book?"
Fu Zixian was taken aback, "Who did you hear that from?"
Wen Yantong answered, "From the Little Marquis. When Young Master Mu was injured, the Little Marquis rushed to Chaoge immediately, and later he sent a letter to me."
Fu Zixian wanted to tell the truth, but he hesitated when he heard that it was said by Chi Jingxi. Chi Jingxi must have his own reasons for misleading her, and it wouldn’t do any good if he were to expose him. Thus, Fu Zixian only said, "Young Master Mu was too careless, he shouldn't have climbed the tree."
Wen Yantong sighed, "It's not surprising that Mu Yang did that. After all, he has always been a little out of his mind and not very bright."
To be honest, Mu Yang's IQ definitely inherited Mu Yuan's. After all, amongst all the countless bandits, there weren’t many who would be completely fooled by their own captives.
The two came to the General's Mansion together, Mu Yuan was not present, but he had already issued an order in advance– if the sixth son of the Fu Residence were to visit, his entrance would be allowed.
So Wen Yantong and Fu Zixian were led to the courtyard where Mu Yang lived.
After the servants went to report, Mu Yang hurriedly came out to greet them shortly after. With a loud voice, he exclaimed, "Wen Yantong! You've finally come!"
Wen Yantong took a closer look, and saw that Mu Yang's hair was a bit scattered, and some loose hair was laying on top of his forehead. Even his light blue robe was not very neat, especially his left foot; half of his trousers were rolled up, revealing his bare foot.
Wen Yantong asked in surprise, "What are you doing? You ran out without putting on shoes."
When she looked again, she noticed his right foot was neat and properly wearing a shoe.
Mu Yang was very pleasantly surprised to see Fu Zixian and Wen Yantong coming together. Hearing Wen Yantong mentioning his left foot, Mu Yang was soon reminded of what he had just done. He waved to her happily, "You came just in time, hurry up, come in! I'll show you a unique skill."
Wen Yantong was confused, and looked at Fu Zixian with puzzled eyes.
Fu Zixian had seen his unique skill a while ago, he couldn’t help but lament sincerely, "Young Master Mu's skill is truly a sight to behold."
When she heard that even Fu Zixian had praised him like that, Wen Yantong’s interests were completely piqued, thus she stepped forward and said, "Okay, let me see what unique skills you have."
So Mu Yang excitedly led them into the building and went straight to the study.
A half-written paper was placed on the table in the study room, with a wet ink pen beside it. There was a large amount of ink splashed on the paper, it could be seen that Mu Yang came out in a hurry when he heard the servant's relay just now.
Mu Yang asked his servants to change the paper, sat down on a chair, and even acted profoundly before his performance, he said to Wen Yantong, "You better watch carefully, I might be the only one who can do this trick in our whole Chaoge."
Wen Yantong was stunned, she had an inexplicable premonition and urged, "What is it? Hurry up and show me."
Mu Yang laughed loudly, "Keep your eyes open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted his left foot up abruptly. The servant next to him quickly grabbed the ink brush and placed it in between the crevice of his big and pointer toe. Mu Yang stabilized his body with both hands on the chair, and with his left foot holding the ink pen, quickly brushed upon the paper.
Wen Yantong was taken aback!
It didn't take too long for Mu Yang to finish. Under Wen Yantong's dumbfounded gaze, he pulled out the ink brush, put down his left foot, and proudly said with a puffed chest, "What do you think?"
Wen Yantong didn’t know how to react.
Fu Zixian had seen this trick before, so he nodded with a smile, "Young Master Mu is amazing."
Wen Yantong went up to take a closer look, only to find that Mu Yang had actually written her name on the paper, with a brush held up by his left foot! Although these two words were crooked, they could still be distinguished at a cursory glance.
Mu Yang's unique skill was being able to write with his left foot??
