Lin Yanchao picked up the pen and wrote down the four lines of poems given to him by the layman, and then solemnly sandwiched it in his scriptures, ready to use it as a motto.

Seeing the layman pinching his beard and looking out the window at the snow, Lin Yanchao gave up his plan to ask about his identity, since the other party did not take the initiative to mention it, he did not plan to ask, if he didn't say it, he would say it, in this case, let the other party continue to immerse himself in the fun of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"Sir, the student is leaving!"

"Yes, yes. Remember to study diligently. ”

After Lin Yanchao returned to the academy, he continued to work diligently.

At the end of the cold winter, there were finally a few snowfalls, and this time the snow was a little bigger, and it was no longer the white snow that could not be seen and touched, but it was real. The trees outside the library were dyed white.

The ancients have always had single pants, there are no autumn pants, and when they encounter this kind of weather, they are also cold and shivering, so the disciples asked the academy to burn a brazier in the lecture hall to keep warm.

The academy immediately agreed, and in the daily study house, the cleaner would carry a pile of charcoal to the side of the study house.

Then the disciples in the outer house picked up the charcoal and put it into the brazier, and when the disciples were studying in the study room, the braziers were placed in the four corners of the lecture hall to keep warm, so that the disciples could avoid the end of freezing into dogs.

Ten days before the quarterly class, the lectures of the academy were also stopped, allowing the disciples to return to the study house to concentrate on reading, and the disciples who were busy with the lectures a few days ago found that the atmosphere of reading in the Ermei study house was stronger than before.

In the past three months, I have been studying hard every day, just for the sake of the quarterly class.

"The first born people, Shi Wei Jiang. What about the people? Ke Ephesus has no children......"

"In the summer and June, Xing moved to Chen Yi. Who is moving? It also means ......"

In the Ermei study room, the sound of the disciples reading aloud was also a few points higher than the original, and everyone's expressions were so focused.

So many people are working together, and everyone can't help but have a competitive heart, although Lin Yanchao is very talented, but seeing others working so hard, he is also worried that others will surpass the past, not to mention that his ranking is still behind Yu Ziyou.

The imperial examination is like this, Sun Shan's position and the name of Sun Shan, it seems that there is only one difference, but it is a paradise and an underground.

Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, no one let anyone, every point of their studies, there are countless people left behind by themselves, and every time they stop, there are countless people who rush ahead of them.

Lin Yanchao looked at Yu Ziyou, thinking to himself who is higher and who is lower in the final quarterly class, but before the quarterly class, I must study more diligently than you. Lin Yanchao and Yu Ziyou talked about it, saying that they were not fighting for the day, but in their hearts, they wanted to beat him down.

Lin Yanchao studied hard, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart, this day is simply not a human life, even if he goes to, he will feel guilty in his heart!

Now there is a small circle in the house, Ye Xianggao has always been alone, Yu Ziyou and Lin Biqing are studying together,

And Zhu Xiangwen, Huang Biyou, Yu Qingzhou, and Lin Yanchao are all often in and out of the club, since Lin Yanchao introduced them into the club, they are now worshiping Lin Yanchao as a god.

The little fat man Zhu Xiangwen often complains, no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to Ye Xianggao, Yu Ziyou, Lin Yanchao, I might as well just give up, but every time I say this, I still read there with a bitter face.

Huang Biyou also often jokingly said to Lin Yanchao, who said Brother Yanchao, you beat me twice, but I don't necessarily think that I will lose to you in the quarterly class, our bet is still valid.

As for Yu Qingzhou, everyone knows him and is about to leave the academy, everyone asks him, you are leaving, no matter how good you are in the quarterly class, it is useless.

Yu Qingzhou also said with a smile, I also know that even if I get the first place in the quarterly class, it will be useless, but I just want to study with everyone before leaving the academy, which can be regarded as a little memorial. ”

Hearing this, everyone was a little moved in their hearts.

In this way, ten days of hard work passed quickly.

In the middle of the month, the season class begins, and after the season class, everyone will go home for the New Year, so this is equivalent to the final exam.

On the day of the quarterly class, when the disciples walked to the Ermei Book House with their book bags, they all looked solemn, no one was in the mood to speak, and a few people pretended to speak loudly to hide the tension in their hearts.

Everyone entered the book room early and sat at their respective tables.

Lin Yanchao was embarrassed by the scholar surnamed Ma at the beginning, and hung his head and said: "There is still a quarter of an hour, and it is about to start, it is really difficult!" ”

At this time, everyone ran out with a bang, and someone on the side snickered: "Brother He, this is already an early morning, and the third time to go out of Gong." ”

A moment later, Lin Liao walked into the lecture hall, and everyone thought that he was about to take an exam, and they couldn't help but be surprised. Where did Lin Liao open his mouth and said: "The Lord of Futai will come to inspect in a while, you all sit quietly, Ye Xianggao, Yu Ziyou, Lin Yanchao, the three of you come out." ”

This time the quarterly class was asked by the government, and everyone thought that the prefect would talk to them after the quarterly class, but they didn't expect that the prefect would come to inspect before the class started.

Ye Xianggao, Yu Ziyou, and Lin Yanchao walked out of the lecture hall, and Lin Liao said to the three of them: "The prefect will ask questions later, and the three of you will be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Lin Yanchao knew that he had been singled out for reception.

After a while, Lin Yanchao heard footsteps and talking outside the courtyard, and Chao looked around but saw a man about forty years old, walking with official steps, presumably the prefect of the prefecture, and the left and right were surrounded by officials. Lin Yin and Lin Liao were on the side.

After Lin Yanchao crossed over, most of the ancients he saw were thin people, and there were very few fat people. Although Zhu Xiangwen often says that he is a little fat, it is also relatively speaking, when Lin Yanchao sat in the office for a long time in his last life, and when his waist was fat and his body was broad, no one said how fat he was.

But there are several people who come in this line, and they seem to be pampered.

He raised his head to look at the plaque first, and then pointed to the plum blossoms in front of the bookstore, and said with a smile: "Ermei Bookstore, it is a very appropriate name." ”

Lin Yin said with a smile: "These two plum blossoms, when the old man returned to his hometown, he already had them, and then he opened up the yard and built a book house, and he was named after the main scene, which made the people of Futai laugh." ”

"Where is it, the mountain chief is an official in the court, and he lives far away from the rivers and lakes and educates the people with his teacher's Taoism, which is really the envy of the government!" The prefect said with a smile.

Everyone on the side laughed together.

The next group arrived in front of the lecture hall.

Ye Xianggao, Yu Ziyou, and Lin Yanchao lowered their heads, and Lin Liao said on the side: "These three disciples are all quite outstanding in the outer house. ”

Lin Liao first pointed at Ye Xianggao and said, "This grandson of Mr. Guishan is called Ye Xianggao. ”

He pointed to Yu Ziyou and said, "This disciple who has always been among the best in the outer house is called Yu Ziyou." ”

Ye Xianggao, Yu Ziyou immediately saluted to the prefect.

When the prefect heard this, he said with a smile: "The two of them are scholarly disciples at first glance." ”

"This disciple came to the outer house not long ago, but then he came to the top and called Lin Yanchao."

The prefect smiled and said, "Isn't it the 'Yan Keva and' one?" ”

Although the prefect said this lightly, all the disciples in the outer house pricked up their ears, thinking to themselves Yan Keva, what kind of allusion is this, could it be that the prefect also knows Lin Yanchao.

And Lin Yanchao sighed that his reputation really spread this time.

Lin Liao smiled and said, "Lord Futai's eyes are like torches, exactly." ”

The prefect glanced at Lin Yanchao again and asked, "How have you been studying lately?" ”

This sentence is asked very generally, Lin Yanchao said: "I try my body three times a day, and I want to exhaust my knowledge but I can't reach it." ”

Lin Yanchao is to the effect that he has three provinces a day and strives to pursue knowledge, but he has not yet done it.

"Good." The prefect squinted his eyes and only said one word, and then the prefect didn't say anything more to Lin Yanchao, but said to everyone: "If you have such an excellent teacher, you need to learn hard, and don't let down their cultivation." ”

"Yes, we will keep in mind the teachings of the prefect." All the disciples said together.

After saying that, the prefect paced away, and Lin Yanchao and the three of them immediately sent the prefect out of the courtyard of the outer house.

After returning to the study house, the disciples were amazed by Lin Yanchao's answer with the prefect, this is the prefect, not only the parent official of the ten counties in central Fujian, but also the chief examiner of the students' government examination, which can leave a good impression in front of him, which will be helpful in the future.

And Yu Ziyou is forehead is sweating, he and Lin Yanchao this time are fighting here, but as the chief examiner of this quarterly class, the prefect is optimistic about Lin Yanchao for some reason, doesn't this belong to him a long time ago?

When Yu Ziyou thought of this, he couldn't help but feel even more pressured.

After a while, Zhaifu walked in with a roll, and then Lin Liao.

"Saifu is also here to proctor!"

"It seems that this time it is really harsh!"

"That's, it's a season."

The disciples spoke in low voices, but when they saw Lin Liao's gaze swept down, everyone immediately closed their mouths.

"Start the exam!"
