Chapter 1758: Hundreds of ScholarsEditor: Henyee Translations
Han Ying, who was outside the door, raised her chin slightly and walked into the courtyard arrogantly.
Even though she was very tired when she went out to gather people and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead, when she walked in with nearly a hundred scholars just now, she was filled with a sense of pride that she had never felt before.
Look, who said that background was useless?
If she weren’t from the marquis family, how could she have found so many scholars who could read in such a short period of time?
Just the marquis family’s signboard alone, as long as it was placed in the center of Xuanhe Prefecture, many people would come.
Han Ying and Han Yao walked at the front. When they entered the backyard, they immediately went to the house that had been prepared for them.
When she passed by Shao Qingyuan, she specially glanced at him.
However, Shao Qingyuan looked straight ahead and completely ignored her.
Han Ying pursed her lips. She was in a bad mood and could only quicken her pace.
However, when the group of scholars walked over, Shao Qingyuan still casually swept his gaze over them.
It was obvious that some of these people were from the Academy. It could be seen from the uniform they were wearing.
There were also some scholars who looked like they were indeed living in poverty. They were probably here for the money promised by the marquis family.
There were also students from Tianhai Academy, but not many. There were only about ten of them.
When these students first came in, other than those who were not dressed well, they basically held their heads high, as if they were very excited to be able to do things for the Marquis.
However, the moment they entered the backyard and saw so many prefectural city nobles sitting along the corridor, as well as some guests who were obviously of noble status, everyone’s hearts instantly rose. They quickened their pace uneasily.
A large group of people entered the three rooms one after another. Han Ying and Han Yao immediately distributed medical books to them.
Because there were too many people, they reopened the revised book and handed a page to three or four scholars to copy.
This way, it would be quite fast to make copies and then compile them into a book.
After distributing the books to everyone, Han Ying said to them, "We’ve already told you the rules previously. This is a competition that concerns the reputation of my marquis family. You’re all people we’ve carefully selected. I hope you can use all your abilities to copy the entire book as soon as possible."
"Remember, I want more than speed. I want neat handwriting. Do you understand?"
The scholar below nodded. "Understood."
"Don’t worry, Prince Han. Miss Han, there are so many of us. We will definitely win."
Han Ying nodded. "That’s good. Since everything is ready, let’s begin."
Hence, the hundred scholars quickly found a spot and gathered in twos and threes to prepare to copy.
For the first time, because a few people were looking at the same piece of paper together, it was inevitable that their speed would be a little slower. When they finished copying one piece, it would be much faster.
Han Ying looked around as she walked. She saw that other than being a little nervous at the beginning, they were very calm later on.
After all, they were all scholars. They were proficient in reading and writing, and their handwriting was neat.
The three rooms on their side were all open. After all, there were too many people. If they closed the door and only opened the window, it would not be bright enough and would be too stuffy.
Now that the window was opened like this, the people outside could also take a good look at the marquis family’s ability.
Han Ying was relieved. Only then did she have the time to find a maidservant to ask about Gu Yundong’s situation.
