Teacher Xiaobai's speech interrupted the argument and the chat that ignored order, but this seemed to remind Zhou Tianen. Sitting in the first row, he raised the list in his hand to Bai Yuanqing and said:

"Teacher Bai, have you seen it: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has added a new 'Accompaniment Observer' this year, which states the key sketching skills and takes the exam."

Bai Yuanqing smiled and said, "I have seen it a long time ago, but it is on the first page of the list, and it is the most popular position in the palace. I think I can't even think about taking the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with my ability."

"It's the exam! And it's recruiting 4 people at a time!" Fang Bowen also started shouting.

Xiaobai waved his hand helplessly and said, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble. Who doesn't know that the head of the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is well treated as a good official, and the promotion is very fast, and there are many opportunities for outgoing. It is because the official lack of official development potential is extremely good. Every lack of competition is fierce. Even if I can sketch, I dare not apply. Facing a strong enemy, I still have to fight for it. That is to use my year-long imperial examination efforts as fireworks."

At this time, Wang Yan left and returned, calling Bai Yuanqing away.

It turned out that Wang Xintai wanted to see him and discussed the issue of students signing up for a lack of money. His office and residence were the courtyard next to Feihuang Academy, and it was separated from the classroom by a wall, and it was just two steps away.

Following Wang Yan into the moon gate next to the academy, Bai Yuanqing saw two volunteers turning a crank under the sun. Everyone was so hot and tired that they were sweating profusely. The sweatshirt on their upper body and the sweat towel on their neck were fertile, just like someone was holding a bowl of water as their chest and backs poured on them.

"Master Qin, Master Wang, are you still turning the fan on such a hot day? Stop heatstroke." Bai Yuanqing greeted the two middle-aged volunteers with concern.

"It's okay. Let's take turns, my wife is waiting to take over." Master Qin smiled honestly. Bai Yuanqing turned his head to see. Sure enough, both of their wives were squatting under the grape trellis to drink water, but they looked like they were half-dried.

"Serve Jesus! The Lord shed blood for us, and it's nothing." Another Master Wang is from Fujian, and his front teeth were beaten off by the gang. He smiled and said with a smile on his face, and the crank in his hand turned faster.

The crank fan machine connects Wang Xintai's office exterior wall. Push the door into the office. The human fan rotates slowly. The breeze keeps coming, and people are much cooler and more energetic. Wang Xintai sat at the desk in front of the fan. When he saw Bai Yuanqing, he smiled and said, "Come on, Xiaobai. Sit on. A Yan, give Xiaobai a glass of ice water."

Then, seeing Xiaobai turning his head to look at the volunteers who were sweating outside the window, Wang Xintai quickly explained: "The weather is still very hot. I can't stand the heat of gout. Brother Qin and Brother Wang insist on turning the fan. Alas, it's actually autumn, so it's long since I removed the fan, but who told Guangdong that the weather is unforgivable and I'm sick."

"You have eaten too much seafood, fish and meat?" Looking at Wang Xintai's chubby face, Bai Yuanqing sighed secretly in her stomach.

Wang Xintai asked Bai Yuanqing to sit down, took the cold and refreshing water cup mixed with ice, and handed it to Bai Yuanqing with great sincerity, and said: "Xiaobai, the biggest thing I have done recently is the lack of applicants. This is the right choice! Because this is the first time our academy has participated in the imperial examination, and we must have the best results to repay Jesus Christ, the church, and the parents and students who trust us."

"Oh, it's this matter. Don't worry, I have read the list of official vacancies. I am also a candidate for the exam every year. I will draw several levels of hot, hot, and temperature based on the past years. I estimate the general scores required by each vacancies and plan for them according to the students' grades." Xiaobai said.

Wang Xintai patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and then said with some concern: "Fang Bowen, Zhou Tianen is our main force. They must apply for their lack of officials and strive to get them to the imperial examination and high school. In this way, it will be better for our academy's business next year... No, no, it is God's entrustment to make aspiring young people work for the country."

Bai Yuanqing nodded and said, "No problem. It's just the two of you. Tianen is more mature and his blog is a little childish, but Zhou Tianen will be influenced by Fang Bowen. Who told them that they were the master-servant relationship that grew up together? Fang Bowen just now had a whimsical idea to apply for the Navy Academy, which scared me."

Wang Xintai was stunned and then shouted: "Isn't the scores of military academy lower, which is easier to pass the exam? Judging from Zhou Tianen's score last year, the hope of missing a popular official in the exam is not very high, but it is really good to apply to the military academy. There is a great possibility of missing a lot! If they want to apply, they should apply, and we should absolutely support it!"

"Not good?" Bai Yuanqing looked at Wang Xintai in embarrassment.

Wang Xintai understood immediately. He pointed to Bai Yuanqing and said, "Xiaobai, in my eyes, you are no less talent than Fang Zhou and others, but your thoughts are still occupied by the Qing Dynasty! What's wrong with being a soldier? That's true loyalty to God! If no soldiers shed blood and sweat on the front line, what else can we take the imperial examination? What are the paintings? Besides, if you die for the country, you will immediately enter the kingdom of heaven. If you live a peaceful life and are proud, after death, you will see, how could I be treated as barbecue in hell? Spirit is better than material things, and glory is higher than life! This is the context of the empire. If you don't reverse your thoughts, even if you are short of the official exam, you will probably be full of dangers, because God will bless a hypocrite who hypocrites for himself?"

Bai Yuanqing said something and said it made her sweat and apologize repeatedly.

"That's right. The academy must consider the shortage rate. What a glorious thing it is to be an officer." Wang Xin said earnestly.

Then he asked, "Xiaobai, I look at the first page of the directory and there is a lack of skills in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' drawing skills. Everyone knows that you are the best at painting. Do you want to apply for that?"

"How dare you! Isn't this a slaughter?" Bai Yuanqing was so scared that his face was gloomy.

Wang Xintai frowned, patted Bai Yuanqing on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiaobai, do you know what you are inferior to Fang Bowen Zhou Tianen? Is it talent? No! Your imperial examination results last year were comparable to Zhou Tianen, and you studied by yourself and also learned skills such as sketching. Zhou Tianen was from a famous school. What does it mean that you can be comparable to students from a famous school? Your talent is not inferior to the other party at all! What you lack is confidence!"

Seeing Xiaobai shook his head and waved his hand to deny it. Wang Xintai stopped his modesty and continued, "Really, I have pulled the church with one hand, met many people, and talked to many people, and may eat more rice grains than you. Many people are not inferior in talent. Why do others have wealth, luxury cars and horses, and they die in the mud like waste? Because he has no confidence! He doesn't believe that he can do it!"

“If a person starts preaching at the age of thirty, and only three years of preaching, he will spread the word in his mouth all over the world. His request becomes the law of all nations. Can you imagine it? This is Jesus Christ;

If a person spends his first half of his life overseas, he returns to his strange hometown at the age of twenty-five, and then resolutely revolt and orders all the heroes, a bamboo gun stabs a land of God in the Far East? Do you believe it? This is the great Emperor of God;

If a person slept in a straw shed a hundred meters away a few years ago, he would become the leader of the church of tens of thousands of people a few years ago. He would inspire hundreds of people to return to Jesus and be respected. Do you believe it? This is me! Wang Xintai!

There are many things, if you don’t have the courage to fight, God will be sad. Does He give so many talents just to make you die of silence in the mud?

If you dare to do it, you will find that this is God’s blessing to you, and He has made a special plan for you!

Think about it, where are you and students from prestigious schools? If you keep these mentalities of resisting God’s grace, you will find that you are a minor official in Jiangxi, and Fang Bowen, Zhou Tianen will be the Minister of Foreign Affairs!

Why? God is unfair?

No, it is because you are too rebellious. You dare not admit that you have received His endless blessings and gifts. You always think about the bad things and think about yourself. You dare not take the risks that come with responsibility and glory. Why don’t you follow Christ’s words: It’s difficult every day! What are you so timid? What are you so afraid?

God let you immigrate to the capital of the imperial examination, which made you suffer from hunger and poverty in your early years, and learned the talent of painting, so that you can achieve excellent imperial examination results, so that you can enter the academy and become a teacher this year. This year, you have seen a good lack tailored for you. If you pass the exam, isn’t all this a natural fate?

You dare not take it? You don’t believe in God’s good wishes to you!”

Seeing that Xiaobai wanted to refute and shirk, Wang Xintai said again: "You also take the imperial examination every year. Ask you: Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recruited officials with sketching talents before? Has the Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously lacked the precedent for recruiting 4 people? No!

If you can't catch it, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will no longer look for people with painting talents next year, will you regret it?

How old are you? How many years do you have in the imperial examination and can you still take the imperial examination?

God opened a window for you, but did you use it to spit out?

Have you lived a peaceful life, have you ever been glorious?

Is it interesting to have such a life, even beggars outside?”

The last words completely touched Xiaobai. Indeed, no one has ever heard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recruiting similar flaws. Perhaps, there will be no more next year and in the future. Even if I pass a bad exam and become a minor official, I will regret it when I think about this year?

I am still young and have opportunities. Students from famous schools like Fang Bowen fantasized about being a navy and traveling around the world. His former boss, Pastor Tan, was born in a wealthy family, but his ideal was to be a poor pastor who dedicated everything to God. He was beaten by Wang Xintai to find a gangster and wandered everywhere;

Compared with them, have you ever had any fantasies except for the lack of a career exam for a life test?

What are you afraid of?

What's the point of living like this for a lifetime?

"Well, you're right, let me think about it." Bai Yuanqing finally answered Wang Xintai, but his tone was already very solemn, and it was no longer the kind of "no no no" tone he was used to.

This time, Wang Xintai also opened the drawer very generously, threw a stack of money on the table, and said to Bai Yuanqing: "Xiaobai, this is the first candidate of our academy, which is very important; I also know that the academy has a shortage of teachers recently, and you are both a father and a mother. Therefore, if you get an official exam in the student, you will be rewarded with twenty yuan. If you can get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it will be the pride of our Shiligou and even Qilihe. On behalf of the academy, I will reward you with 100 yuan! Go back and do your business."

After watching Xiaobai staggering and pushing the door and walking away while drunk, he kept listening to Wang Yan asking in confusion: "Cousin, I know the lack of that Foreign Ministry, but it is the lack of all elites in the country who want to pass the exam. The grades are good, and the paintings are good. Xiaobai's grades are very bad. Why do you have to persuade him to take the exam? "

Wang Xintai snorted and replied, "Does Jesus just have in your mind? Use your brain: Xiaobai takes the exam for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and our academy will be popular in one shot! Xiaobai fails the exam for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has to continue to be my teacher! We are so short of teachers now, so useful, how good it is to continue to do it for us! It is best to take the exam every year, fail every year, and become a gold medal lecturer for me! Therefore, no matter which result he is, it will be beneficial to us. As for whether he is in danger, it is nothing to do with me. Let him ask God himself!"

++++

But what Wang Xintai and Wang Yan didn't know was that Xiaobai hurried back to the classroom, and he stood on the podium and asked everyone to be quiet.

This is the first time this young teacher who usually has such a serious expression and a unquestionable tone. The noisy classroom slowly calmed down, and everyone looked up at him.

Bai Yuanqing yang said the "Imperial Examination List" in his hand, threw it back on the table, and said to everyone:

"Everyone knows that I, Bai Yuanqing, are just a layperson, not a pastor or an elder, and it is common to listen to sermons and worship service, and maybe not as good as you.

But now, as my imperial examination teachers, my sacred sense of mission requires me to lead you to do something, and I have never led you to do it.

That is to close this list of glory and wealth. Before we fill in and think about the vacancies of the imperial examination officer, we should leave our seats, stand in the aisle, kneel down to thank and praise and pray to the great god.

What are you talking about?

Thank you for everything He has given us: our body, our knowledge, our hearts, our weakness, our incompetence, our destiny, our ignorance and pride!

We should not think about how uncomfortable, embarrassing, and shameful it would be if the imperial examination failed. We should not think about how glorious, rich and proud and happy it would be if we were in high school!

Even if we become prime ministers, we may not be able to be happy and safe! Even if we continue to be a commoner like this, we may not be able to be full of passion and gratitude!

God’s unpredictable destiny is worthy of gratitude and praise!

How can we be grateful to Him if He has given us so much grace?

We should not be afraid, we should not be inferior, we should not be proud, we should not care about glory and wealth, we should want great trust, a peaceful heart, and a thoughtful thought about how to use our limited self to glorify the infinite great and generous Lord!

If you have God in your heart, don’t be afraid!

If you have a god in your heart, don’t be afraid of failure!

If you have God in your heart, you must be happy and peaceful in any situation!

Come on, kneel down!

Glory Him with our sincere prayers, thanksgiving and praise!”

Under Bai Yuanqing's leadership, everyone in the class knelt on the ground and prayed.

When everyone ended this time, perhaps the most devout prayer they had in their lives, Xiaobai stood up, he patted the soil on his knees, and said proudly: "I have decided, I will apply to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire."
Chapter completed!
