But now Norman has become the most popular person in the living room.
This is not because Norman is Mr. Franklin’s nephew. For those humble servants, it is likely that Norman is Mr. Franklin’s nephew and deliberately tries to please him. However, these young gentlemen and ladies have been held up since childhood. They have their own pride and dignity and will not please him just because Norman is Mr. Franklin’s nephew.
They are so enthusiastic about Norman now because Norman took out the magic thing of the old saying cage and shared his "noble private behavior" with them.
That’s an old saying, that’s a cage, that’s a magic thing with magical power, that’s a treasure that even Mr. Franklin has never shown to them and given to his nephew Norman! Norman was able to share these old saying cages with them at the expense of his own interests, at the cost of a symbolic few silvers. What a compassionate mind, what a loving and broad mind it required!
This adds to the fact that Norman really treats them as good friends.
So what’s the reason why such a person won’t be liked by everyone?
There is probably only one person in the whole living room who doesn’t like Norman so much.
Justin, as usual, came to Franklin’s house a little while ago, gentle and dignified, greeted the old servant Grace with his nostrils and entered the living room.
He consciously looked into the corner and saw a guy at Norman’s desk as scheduled. Is it Stan? Banalli
groan
Justin sneer at my heart.
Another copper toe (an ancient proverb in Augustus United Kingdom generally refers to a snob)
Justin came to his seat without saying hello to Norman, and he was the only student who came in without saying hello to Norman.
How can he say hello to Norman?
You know, before Norman arrived and took out the cage of the old saying, Justin was the most eye-catching focus in the whole living room! Except Bernie and his stupid guys, who is not his student? But Norman’s arrival changed all that.
Two days later, the glory of his "Redstone Light" was taken away by Norman Department. It was his destiny enemy Justin, but he wouldn’t give up easily. He would let everyone know that Justin? Kerm is the best!
Justin thinks like this, carefully taking out a piece of parchment from his hand-picked leather bag.
This is an old saying cage.
It can be seen that there are six cages in this paper, and now four of them have been used and two of them are intact.
This is the old saying cage of magic things that Norman secretly took out from Mr. Franklin.
Justin won’t bow to Norman and pay him to teach himself the old saying, but it doesn’t prevent him from buying this old saying cage from other students.
Justin seems to be at a disadvantage in fighting Norman’s fate. Norman can keep getting the old saying cage from Mr. Franklin, but he can’t come up with such magical magic to please people. This is a big disadvantage. The solution is to tell Mr. Franklin that Norman took out his old saying cage for other students, but Justin didn’t bother to do such a thing, and if he did, it would probably be isolated by all students instead of regaining glory.
Then he can think of something else.
Justin’s thought about this is that he will take the entrance exam over Norman.
On the first day, he was still in awe of Norman’s archaic level. How amazing is this great archaic talent? However, it was only later that he realized that it was all the magic. Now this big guy foolishly took out such a magical magic and shared it with everyone. If he were not as stupid as Norman, wouldn’t he be? And with the cage of ancient sayings, Justin believes that his level of ancient sayings will advance by leaps and bounds, and then the entrance examination will be a blockbuster, which will shock the whole Cardenas, and it is possible not to regain his glory.
At that time, it was not the red stone light, but the "Kana light" …
Justin’s enthusiasm for learning grew stronger when he thought of the exciting scene and the moment of glory.
Norman didn’t know that one of his classmates thought so far.
He is still thinking about how much money he can earn today.
Two silver nares, two silver nares, three silver nares behind, and two silver nares later …
Norman pulled his fingers and counted. Just now, that classmate had returned to his seat with his old saying cage, and no one came back because it was almost three o’clock.
As soon as 3 o’clock arrives, Franklin will step into the living room. If they still pester Norman here, Mr. Franklin will find something strange, and then maybe Norman will find out that he has shared the old saying cage with them without telling him.
"… when uncle gets angry, he won’t give me the old saying cage again."
This is what Norman has talked to everyone.
"It doesn’t matter if I don’t have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. That’s what really matters. If you don’t want to have an old saying, then you must keep it a secret from my uncle. Don’t let him know that it’s nearly three minutes away. Uncle Ma will come …"
Norman’s words that they wanted to be intimate made everyone very moved, and all of them patted their chests to ensure that they would never let Mr. Franklin find out about it, so naturally they would never pester Norman in three minutes.
Norman has just counted his fingers and figured out that he can earn nine silver dollars today. When the clock strikes three.
It is customary for Mr. Franklin to enter the living room on time at the last minute, but today it is something unusual. The third bell has rung for a long time and Mr. Franklin has not arrived.
There was a little commotion in the living room, and everyone was whispering to each other. Why didn’t Mr. Franklin come yet? Did he eat badly or was he delayed?
Norman is still thinking about his own business. Up to now, he has a total of 42 silver nals and dozens of copper asi … God earned dozens of silver nals in ten days, but he didn’t dare to think about it before! Now he doesn’t do anything. He goes straight back to Ashley Village and rents Master Barton back. Then he buys a cow and can live a happy life for the rest of his life.
Of course, he wouldn’t do that.
Cá rdenas has lived for more than ten days, and he has been completely expropriated by this big city. There are white bread, cream, exquisite cakes, juicy steaks, fragrant wine, refreshing ale, and a clean and soft big bed like a cloud …
With these things, why should he go back to Ashley village to live a life of sleeping with fleas and drinking weeds every day? Not to mention Ashley village, he has to work on the spot at dawn every day, while Cardenas does nothing.
Moreover, his life in Cá rdenas will get better and better, he will have more and more money, he will have his own room, he will enter a church school and become a reserve mage, and he will even become a nobleman! ……
Old Norman is right. He should come to Cá rdenas. This is heaven!
Just as Norman was thinking about his future life, Mr. Franklin finally came.
He always looks on the ground, but what is different from usual is that he looks more serious and dignified today, and his eyes are more gloomy.
Franklin glanced around the back of the podium and announced a message in a low voice.
"I just got a message that all of you will take the entrance examination of Cardenas Church School this year."
Norman also plans his own future life, and Justin also thinks that his entrance examination is too heavy and exciting, and the exciting scene is cut off by this sentence
"Hey?"
All the students including Norman looked at Franklin uniformly.
Ten faces are stupid.
Franklin repeated that sentence again.
"All of you will be able to take the entrance examination of Cardenas Church School this year."
His eyes are more cloudy.
How to take the entrance exam?
Norman stupefied at Franklin.
It suddenly occurred to him that one year when there was a bumper harvest in the field, old Norman was happy and promised to buy him meat for the first time in his life, but Master Barton increased the tax that year, so he couldn’t eat the meat until the end of the day and could sit on the ridge and cry at the bare fields.
Chapter 41 drastic changes
The annual entrance examination of Cardenas Christian School is open to all, and there are no restrictions. You have to pay five Yiner exams to take the exam. The students who take the exam can be divided into three parts according to their learning experience. The first part is the mage students, who are the most promising people to enter the Christian school. The second part is the apprentice students like Franklin, few of whom can enter the church school, but there are only a few every year; The third part is that some ordinary teachers mainly study literature and mathematics, and some of these students have studied theology, but with one exception, they know nothing about the old saying. After taking the Cardenas entrance exam, they pay for nothing. Every year, no one in this group has ever passed the entrance exam.
This practice has been going on for more than a hundred years, but I don’t know what’s happening this year. The Abbey Cathedral of Cardenas suddenly issued a fatwa early this morning, announcing that this year’s entrance examination requires wizards with church certification qualifications, and students can participate in church certification wizards. There are four grades from low to high: junior wizards (black wizards), intermediate wizards (red wizards) and senior wizards (blue wizards) and exorcist (white wizards).
You need mage students with church-certified mage qualifications to take the entrance examination, which means that only black-robed mage students can take the entrance examination. In the third district, these so-called "mages", including Franklin Department, are all mage apprentices who call themselves gray-robed wizards. Their students naturally take the entrance examination this year.
No wonder Franklin looks so ugly now.
These wealthy businessmen and declining aristocrats spend a lot of money to send their students to the hands of their "wizards" in the third district in the hope that their children will have a chance to enter the Cardenas missionary school, but now they will not even be qualified for the exam. How can they explain to those parents?
Franklin has a terrible headache at the thought of it.
Franklin station has a headache and a student has spoken.
It’s Norman
Unlike these young gentlemen who grew up in honeypots, the biggest thing in their lives so far was being beaten by bad boys. He experienced too many adversity and frustrations from childhood, which made him quickly recover from this shocking bad news.
"What?"
Norman bullish on the podium behind Franklin asked.
Franklin also looked at him.
A teacher doesn’t answer students’ questions at ordinary times, depending on his mood, but Norman obviously can’t answer this question-if he doesn’t give these little masters and ladies a reasonable explanation, the parents behind them will even get him out of the third district, or even out of Cardenas.
