The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

Chen Heng thought about it all night, but couldn't think of a very reasonable solution. With the myriad of thoughts in your mind, once factors such as identity, stance, and persuasiveness are added, it will be difficult to convince people.

After much thought, he decided to first inquire about Daiyu's brother through letters, and subtly told her that there was a Master Xu with superb medical skills in the academy.

Rushing to the school with a bit of helplessness, Chen Heng and others had just sat down when Mei Xuezheng appeared at the door with a cold look on his face.

Everyone can't help but wonder that the Master who is reading today is Master Xu.

Who damaged the notice board in the courtyard? Mei Xuezheng walked into the hall with a murderous look. You damaged the college items for no reason. I think you read too little on weekdays and got sick. Who did it? Should you stand up yourself, or let me look for you.

Chen Heng, who knew who the murderer was, couldn't help but feel bad.

Others were about to shake their heads to show their innocence. Xin Suzhao stood up fearlessly, Master, you don't have to look for it. I was the one who broke it.

Mei Jin looked stunned and said, Why is it you?!

Xin Suzhao only nodded and did not answer, as if he wanted to kill or behead him as he pleased.

There were low murmurs in the crowd. Seeing this, Mei Xuezheng coughed, pointed at Xin Suzhao and said, You are here with me as my master. I will punish you well this time.

When the two people went out, they bumped into Xu Jinhou who came in. Master Xu and Mei Xuezheng had no friendship. Although it was strange why Xin Suzhao fell into the hands of the other party, after all, Mei Jin was also Xuezheng and had the authority to manage the academy, so Xu Jinhou didn't care.

After Master Xu came in, he just asked everyone to take their minds back and continued to read the Four Books and Five Classics aloud.

Only halfway through the class, Xin Suzhao came back like a normal person. Chen Heng looked at his expression specifically, and it didn't look like he was being scolded by Mei Xuezheng.

After the Four Books and Five Classics class, all the students who passed Class A had to get up and go to the lecture hall due to last month's exam division. Pei Huaizhen, the mountain leader, started teaching in person.

When Chen Heng followed Cui Youdao and the others into the lecture hall, he found that the scholar was also attending class with them.

Pei Huaizhen's first lecture focused on policy theory. Starting from the college examination and all the way to the palace examination, the policy theory question would be discussed throughout. Each examiner, including the emperor, attached great importance to the excellence of policy theory.

However, writing policy papers in a meaningful and convincing manner is a great test of a scholar's understanding and mastery of knowledge.

After all, it was only the first lesson, and Pei Huaizhen did not analyze the topics written by previous champions as soon as he started. Rather, it is to explain clearly the origin and development of policy theory, where allusions can be used, and where it is necessary to make subtle remarks.

While explaining these, the teacher will give some examples and extract the essence of some examination papers for students to ponder.

As the number one scholar personally selected by the Supreme Emperor, Shanchang's literary talents were already among the best in the world. He had also served as the first official to assist the imperial government in administering affairs, and he had personally experienced the ups and downs of officialdom. The knowledge that has been learned from many books is also full of fun in his narration.

It was really strange. Chen Heng couldn't help but wonder, why did the teacher make people sleepy when he was talking about Historical Records and Zi Zhi Tong Jian when he could teach the class so well.

Could it be that they were regarded as stone monkeys, testing everyone's understanding?

Not understanding the reason, Chen Heng could only concentrate on listening to the lecture. He had a habit left over from his previous life when listening to lectures. He loved to take notes, and he did so in great detail.

In addition, he has an excellent memory in his life. When he returns to the dormitory after class, he will usually take out his notes, recall what the master said, continue to add, and divide the key points.

Did you understand what I just said? Pei Huaizhen asked everyone.

Captain, I understand. Everyone responded in unison without hesitating.

Okay. Pei Huaizhen didn't care about them and said with a smile, Three months later, when new people are selected into Class A, one of you will come up and explain what the teacher said today.

This, this, this, what is this? Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

Pei Huaizhen ignored them and said: Let's continue...

Everyone still dared to hesitate. They had used 80% of their efforts, but now they had to use 12% of their thoughts.

Until the end, the mountain leader did not make much pause except for drinking water. Afterwards, everyone walked out of the lecture hall in a daze, thinking that in three months, some unlucky person among them would be chosen.

A group of people couldn't help but gather in the corridor to share their experiences in this class. At this time, I couldn't care less about who was the scholar and who was the boy. Everyone said something to each other, and the discussion was not very lively.

It was a pity that Chen Heng tried to speak several times, but was overtaken by others. He listened for a while and vaguely noticed something. He didn't stay any longer and just carried his notes back to the dormitory.

As soon as he returned, Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai surrounded him. They were very interested in the content of Class A. Chen Heng didn't hide anything, he just told them that after he had sorted out his thoughts, he would tell them what he could tell them tonight.

Okay, Brother Heng, from now on, you and I will be sworn brothers. Jiang Yuanbai sincerely held Chen Heng's hands and said emotionally, I recognize you as my younger brother. If you call me big brother, from now on I will only My brother is following his lead.

What a mess. Chen Heng shook his head and threw his hands away in disgust.

Then I'll feel aggrieved and be your eldest brother. Qian Dayou hummed a few times, From now on, if Brother Heng says the moon is in the sky, eldest brother, I will cover my eyes and pretend it's dark.

Xue Biao, who was worrying about the afternoon painting class, couldn't stand listening anymore and laughed from the sidelines: Brother Heng, please tell me it's getting dark.

Jiang Yuanbai immediately stepped forward and covered Qian Dayou's eyes. Qian Dayou stretched out his hands, explored forward, and said anxiously: My third brother is really a man of gods. It's already dark no matter how dark it is today.

Chen Heng could still hold it in, laughing while rolling up his sleeves and running after the two of them.

In the afternoon, there was another Jiuzhang class, followed by Go, and the busy day was almost over.

Chen Heng seized the time and came to the Tiren Hall. He opened the cabinet and touched it with his hands. Chen Heng couldn't help but frowned. Why were the things inside still soft?

It couldn't have been something like a snake crawling in.

Chen Heng was startled by his own thoughts and quickly retracted his hand and took half a step back. After waiting for a while, I dared to lean over and look inside.

I saw an osmanthus cake placed inside, and there was a book underneath the osmanthus cake.

This girl, why did you give me snacks?

Chen Heng took out the things and found that the book was On Salt and Iron which he had read a little bit at Lin's house. He could not hold it back and was so happy on the spot that he almost cheered.

I flipped through the books and found Daiyu's letter. Letter: August is the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. I would like to invite my brother to try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to express his gratitude for caring for me during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Take care of everything? What did I take care of? Chen Heng was dumbfounded and couldn't understand the meaning of Daiyu's words. But it didn't stop him from tasting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He picked off a piece and put it in his mouth. It was indeed soft and delicious.

Turning the letter over to the back, Daiyu actually wrote something.

Dad has promised his brother to come to the house to borrow books. He can read On Salt and Iron slowly. My sister still has her father's annotations on this book in her hand. If her brother needs it, she will bring it with her next time.

Why can't we talk about these two things together? What if I forget to look at the back? Chen Heng rubbed his head, thinking of his plan, and had to write a reply against his will.

My sister is so thoughtful. My brother just heard Master Xu say today that the daily diet should be in accordance with the season. Speaking of our Master Xu, I'm afraid my sister doesn't know about it. I heard that he is known as the three masters of calligraphy, painting, and medicine. He is...

After he finished writing a letter that concealed his intentions without showing any deliberate intention, Chen Heng checked it over and over again as if it were an exam, and then stuffed it back into the cabinet with satisfaction.

After doing these things, he held the sponge cake in one hand and the salt and iron theory in the other, and ran back to the dormitory happily.

He has something to read tonight.

But something strange happened again tonight.

Just when Chen Heng was giving the day's lecture to Qian Dayou and others, a voice called him suddenly came from outside. Chen Heng did not dare to hesitate and immediately stood up and walked out.

Who would have thought that when he opened the door, he saw Du Yunjing, whom he rarely met in private.

This is at noon. I listened to what they said in the corridor and took notes. Since you were not there during the trip, I made a handwritten copy and sent it to you. Du Datou still spoke in a stiff tone. He was obviously doing good deeds, but he was doing the opposite. It has to be like seeking revenge.

Say hello to Su Zhao for me. Du Datou raised his head and cupped his hands, stuffed the notes into Chen Heng's arms, and left under the moonlight.

Without even bothering to say a word, Chen Heng watched Du Yunjing coming and going in a hurry, and could only sit there dumbfounding.

It's so fast. When I look back, I suddenly realize that the second volume is almost finished. Hahahahahaha.
