Chapter 40: The Advice of the Champion Gong

Seeing Lin Yanchao, three rural teenagers shouted on the side.

The scholar surnamed Huang folded the folding fan to the ground, pointed at Hou Zhongshu, and Zhang Haoyuan said: "It's just rude, it's just a mouth full of dung, it's just a mouth full of dung, and it's just a mouthful, who is the great master, even if you sing a thousand words, you can get his appreciation?" ”

Zhang Haoyuan sneered: "Coincidentally, this is the case. ”

Hou Zhongshu continued: "If you don't believe it, then you go and ask him!" As he spoke, he pointed to Zhou Zongcheng.

"Brother Zhou, is it?" Huang Shizi turned his head, a little incredulous.

Zhou Zongcheng was not very reluctant to admit it, but he couldn't lie in front of everyone: "Brother Huang, this kid is not just a bit of luck, if I read three thousand words, I can also recite flowers." To tell you the truth, this kid probably hasn't studied the scriptures yet, what imperial examination do you want to take in the future? ”

The scholar surnamed Huang was very embarrassed, but after listening to Zhou Zongcheng's words, his expression eased and said: "I see, it's not a big deal, the thousand-character text is just a casual reading when I was studying, and the Four Books and Five Classics are the right way, do you know?" Several of us started studying scriptures at the age of **. ”

The scholar surnamed Huang said this, and other scholars on the side also echoed: "Yes, in a remote mountain village, I'm afraid there are no people who can connect to the scriptures, no wonder they can only read the thousand-character text." ”

Everyone seemed to have regained their confidence and laughed.

Hou Zhongshu, Zhang Haoyuan couldn't help but be a little hung up when he heard it, Hou Zhongshu hadn't even started to touch the side of the scriptures, and Zhang Haoyuan only started to read the fourth book when he was twelve years old.

The scholar surnamed Huang couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the looks of Hou and Zhang.

The scholars laughed loudly, which immediately attracted others to stop and watch.

A twenty-year-old gentleman walked in and said, "Brother Huang, Brother Zhou, why are you arguing?" ”

When these scholars saw the visitor, they all bowed their hands together and said, "It turned out to be Brother Weng." ”

The scholar surnamed Huang also stepped forward and said: "Brother Weng, fortunately, how did I meet you here, oh, I almost forgot, Brother Weng is also from Hongtang Township." ”

Lin Yanchao looked at this gentleman, who was less than twenty years old, but he was young and old, and his expression seemed to be a little melancholy.

Zhou Zongcheng said: "Brother Weng came just in time, you are not here, I can't wait for a lesson, there are a few teenagers in your township who have not even read the scriptures, but they are not ashamed." ”

The scholar surnamed Huang looked at Lin Yanchao and them, and introduced with a bright face: "You see, this Brother Weng Zhengchun is also from your Hongtang Township, but he was inspired by Mao's poetry at the age of seven, and he changed his book at the age of eleven, and as for the four books, he already doesn't like to read them." ”

When Lin Yanchao heard Weng Zhaozhen's three words, he couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at this young man who was less than twenty years old and had melancholy eyes. Weng Zhengchun is also from Hongtang, that's right, the achievement is him.

This is the first celebrity Lin Yanchao saw in the annals of history after crossing over.

He happened to know that during the Jiajing Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou Mansion also produced two champions who were the first in the country, one was Gong Yongqing, who is now the chief priest of the Nanjing Guozi, and the other was the champion Weng Zhengchun who won the championship in the palace examination twenty years later.

Of course, the champion is the champion, the learning progress of this champion made Lin Yanchao dumbfounded, at the age of seven by Mao Shili, at the age of eleven to change the Shangshu.

That is to say, Weng Zhengchun not only completed the coursework of the Four Books, but also mastered the Book of Poetry, the Book of Rites, and the Book of Books in the Five Classics. In the children's test, the Five Classics only need to be proficient in one Classic, but people actually read the Three Classics.

Lin Yanchao is inevitably unbalanced, the champion of the family read three of the Five Classics at the age of eleven, and he only started to read the four books when he was twelve years old, this gap is not ordinary.

After hearing the scholar surnamed Huang mention himself, Weng Zhengchun said humbly: "Brother Huang praised falsely, reading ten thousand books, it is better to break one book, if I can concentrate on studying one classic, I will not fail the two government exams in a row, and I am not even a child so far." ”

Failed the government test twice in a row! Neither are the children! Oh, my God.

Others only think that Weng Zhengchun is humble words, but Lin Yanchao's face is very ugly, although he knows that the imperial examination is not easy, but it is not so easy, this later fellow townsman was actually twenty years old, and failed in the government examination twice.

Lin Yanchao was in a bad mood all of a sudden, and when he saw that these people were still making noise, he suddenly became unpleasant, you provoked me!

"Brother Weng, I'm too humble, I've only been studying for a few years, and I'm far inferior to you, but it's still a lot better than some country boys."

Lin Yanchao glanced at him and said, "Are you here to make a name for yourself in Hongtang Township?" ”

Lin Yanchao didn't speak, and this opening made them stunned.

"You're young and ignorant, it's nothing? I don't blame you, but why do we have fame? **It's great to start reading at the age of age, and you also deserve to call yourself a ruler? Want to use our vulgarity to set off your erudition? It's amazing to exalt yourself and belittle others? Have low self-esteem and still find self-confidence in others? Savvy? ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao pointed his finger at Zhou Zongcheng's nose and shouted, "Who do you think you are?" Come to our Hongtang Township to spread wild, I'll count three times for you, get out immediately, otherwise we'll beat you! ”

Lin Yanchao's big move, full of map cannons, and a few soldiers, including Weng Zhengchun, were dumbfounded. The people on the side all clapped their hands, the restaurants of this husband and wife stall are all the people of Hongtang Township, and they heard that some people have spread wild on their own territory, and they are all the same enemy.

"Good scolding!"

"Get out!"

"Get out!"

Everyone is on Lin Yanchao's side. Zhou Zongcheng pointed at Lin Yanchao and said a few you, you, you.

Zhou Zongcheng and the scholar surnamed Huang were so angry that their noses smoked.

The scholar surnamed Huang pointed at Lin Yanchao and said, "Okay, you have a kind, you wait for me!" ”

"One!" Lin Yanchao raised his first finger, and there were already helpers on the dock on the side, these people were all fast-headed, and five big and three thick.

The scholar surnamed Huang and Zhou Zongcheng were so frightened that their urine was dripping, and they didn't care about the face of the scholar at the moment.

"The big husband can bend and stretch, let's go!"

Someone said this, and a few people ran away immediately. The people laughed.

Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan both clapped their hands, Hou Zhongshu patted Lin Yanchao on the shoulder and said, "Yanchao, what you said is too good." ”

"I have low self-esteem, and I still find confidence in others, and I scold well." Zhang Haoyuan clapped his hands and laughed.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said to the Quartet: "Thank you folks!" ”

"Young man is polite!"

"You scolded well, we are also relieved!"

"Outsiders don't know, but we are Hongtang Township, but we are old champions, Jinshi!"

The villagers said to me, Weng Zhengchun said to Lin Yanchao: "A few of my classmates are really rude, I will apologize to you on their behalf!" ”

"Brother Weng, why do you say that," Lin Yanchao moved a chair and said, "Their affairs have nothing to do with you, it's better to meet by chance, how about sitting down and eating a bowl of Dingbian paste together?" ”

"This." Weng Zhengchun hesitated.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Brother Weng, we can't afford Xingyi Building, but we can still afford to pay for a penny and a bowl of Dingbian paste!" ”

Lin Yanchao said this, Weng Zhengchun also smiled and said: "Brother Lin is so refreshing, it should be me who is the east." ”

Weng Zhengchun sat down immediately, and Zhang Haoyuan greeted the boss: "The boss adds a pair of chopsticks, and then scoops up a bowl of Dingbian paste, three oyster cakes, and two pieces of Luo Bu cake!" ”

"Okay." The boss greeted him, brought up the Dingbian paste, oyster cakes, and Luo Bu cakes, and also gave a bowl of clam broth.

Everyone smiled and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, oyster cakes and rob cakes are all on fire, and a bowl of clam broth is just right to neutralize." ”

The four of them ate and chatted, and Lin Yanchao happened to ask Weng Zhengchun for knowledge.

After confirming each other, Lin Yanchao and Weng Zhengchun are more than a dozen streets behind each other's studies, and they can be regarded as understanding the gap between themselves and the first-rate students in such state capitals. But Lin Yanchao is better than a wide range of knowledge, hundreds of years of accumulation of knowledge, not a little higher than the ancients, Weng Zhengchun after a little bit of understanding, Lin Yanchao can often draw inferences, many of which make Weng Zhengchun also very rewarding.

At that moment, Weng Zhengchun also put away his heart to look down on Lin Yanchao and said: "Brother Lin is involved in scriptures, but he has such an insight, and in time, he will definitely make achievements." Fortunately, Brother Lin is young, if he can study four or five years earlier, he will definitely be my opponent in the next year. ”

Listening to Weng Zhengchun's words, Hou Zhongshu and Zhang Haoyuan didn't think so, but Lin Yanchao thought to himself that this was the evaluation of the champion prince.

However, Lin Yanchao asked: "Then dare to ask Brother Weng, I will start reading the scriptures now, do you have any hope of participating in the county exam the year after tomorrow?" ”

Weng Zhengchun said at the moment: "Brother Lin is too anxious, I also studied for six years before going to the children's examination, and other schoolchildren have studied for more than ten years before going to the children's examination." Of course, if Brother Lin wants to try his luck, I have nothing to say, but if I take the exam a few years later, isn't it more stable, so why fight at this time? ”

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this, and said immediately: "What Brother Weng said is very true. ”
