After Ma and He's two classmates took Lin Yanchao's papers, a group of people surrounded them.

"There is no ancient and modern happiness, but the people of the past and the present can be good! This is a broken sentence, Brother Yu is talented, look at what's wrong? The scholar surnamed Ma didn't dare to speak without permission for a while, and pushed it to Yu Ziyou.

Yu Ziyou was a little steady and said: "Let me think twice." ”

Huang Biyou on the side said eagerly: "Yes, this statement is too general and cannot be regarded as a good sentence." ”

"Brother Huang, are you sure?"

Huang Biyou said immediately: "Of course, I see that there are flaws everywhere in this article. Saying that, Huang Biyou took out a pen from the table and dotted on the roll: "Look, here, here, it's all written like a failure." ”

Huang Biyou said in the tone of a teacher, as if he was educating his disciples, if it wasn't for the volume and had to take it to copy, he would have corrected it a long time ago, but this was not enough to eliminate his evil spirit.

"Brother Huang, are you sure you can write such an article?" One person spoke, but everyone looked at Ye Xianggao.

For the first place in the outer house, everyone still maintains enough respect.

In the two exams, everyone has gone from jealousy to admiration for Ye Xianggao's talent.

"Brother Ye, please give me some advice."

Ye Xianggao said: "This initial stock is very exciting, the husband is not expected to be big or small, expected to be happy, not deceived in the present and ancient, and expected to have the same name." This is not to lose everyone's face, I will tell you the truth. ”

"And this article has the aftertaste of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and there are few empty words of eight strands, which is really a good article."

As soon as Ye Xianggao said this, everyone had nothing to say.

"This is the same as the volume of Yanchao half a month ago, it is like two people, is it possible that he has made progress in half a month?"

"yes, that's hard to believe, and there must be something strange."

"Don't guess, this person deliberately tricked me, a good pig and a tiger, and I was deceived."

Everyone talked about it, but at this time, they heard two light coughs.

"I said you think so, can you give me back the scroll first? The scrolls are all crumpled, and I will take them to Saifu for transcription later, and I will not be able to explain them. Lin Yanchao spoke.

The horse that snatched the roll from Lin Yanchao's hand, and the two classmates congratulated their faces when they heard it. After the classmate surnamed He returned the scroll to Lin Yanchao, he blushed as a salute: "Brother Yanchao, I'm in Xia Menglang." ”

This person knows his mistake on the spot and corrects it, admitting that he is not, which is also commendable. Lin Yanchao also said: "Brother He, you're polite, what's wrong with studying with classmates." ”

Lin Yanchao's words were very gentle, and he did not rush to fight back against the doubts of his classmates, which was the gentleman's style of Zhongzheng and peaceful. Many people nodded secretly.

On the other hand, the scholar surnamed He was even more ashamed.

And the scholar surnamed Ma still said with a smile: "Brother Yanchao, you are too uninteresting, in the last Shuowang class, did you answer nonsense and want to tease me?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Ma misunderstood, how could I be this kind of person." ”

"Then why did you do so badly in the Shuowang class, and it wouldn't be like this with your level today."

"Brother Ma, that's a good point, Brother Yanchao, you must give us an explanation, otherwise you will look down on us!"

"Yes!" A few others chimed in.

"Since you want to know the trick, I'll tell you."

The lecture hall fell silent all at once, and everyone pricked up their ears.

Lin Yanchao smiled lightly and said: "Actually, it's not difficult, because these three questions are my questions, and I guessed them!" ”

There was silence in the lecture hall.

"Guess right?"

"You mean, all three of your questions are from the "Four Books of Big Questions and Small Questions"?"

"yes." Lin Yanchao nodded.

"Impossible, how can you be lucky, if you get one question right, forget it, can you still get three questions right?"

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Which of you has "Big Topic and Small Title Wenfu", we will know it as soon as we pair it?" ”

At that moment, someone ran to Lin Liao's to borrow "Big Topics and Small Titles", a thick stack of twenty-six volumes, and the two of them brought it. The scholar surnamed Ma said: "There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 questions here, and you have to get three questions casually, almost like looking for a needle in a haystack, Brother Yanchao, you are not a Meng, you are a Mengren!" ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and did not respond.

Many of my classmates have already begun to look for it, but there are so many pages in this book that a few people can find it. So the classmates were all mobilized, each holding a book, comparing the topics and turning the pages of the book.

"That's not the question."

"It's not a question either."

"I found it, I found it! Zhuang Storm saw Mencius Day, from the chapter of King Liang Hui, there is no ancient and modern music to break the theme, but the people of the same people can be good in ancient and modern times, and it is really exactly the same! ”

When the question was found, everyone gathered around.

"This is Mr. Jingye's champion volume, made by Zhengde's three-year palace examination, I just thought that I had a little impression."

Mr. Jing Ye, named Lu Zheng, is a great master of science, famous for teaching and educating people, and many disciples of the academy have read his articles.

"Yes, the following topic, the beginning is the same."

One person took the roll and glanced at Huang Biyou and said: "Fang is the champion scroll you said Mr. Jingye, there are flaws everywhere, and it is all a failure." ”

Huang Biyou's face turned white, and he couldn't wait to find a hole to drill into, and the classmates who wanted to criticize Lin Yanchao's roll before being present were also disgraced, if it weren't for Huang Biyou's eagerness to stand up and block the gun, they would probably have to follow in the footsteps of this person.

"Even the connoisseurship of eyesight is worthy of talking about eight shares?" Another mocked.

Huang Biyou didn't dare to say anything more at the moment.

Everyone's eyes returned to the scroll: "Oh, no, there are a few mistakes in it, not an omission in the text, but the general idea is still right." ”

"It seems that Brother Yanchao is not all on his back, although there are a few fewer branches and leaves, but the main trunk is not bad."

At that moment, another person shouted: "I also found it, this one is not with others, this problem is copied." ”

So the 'truth' came out, and all three questions were found, which was really from the "Four Books of Big Topics and Small Questions".

"Brother Yanchao, have you finished memorizing the "Four Books of Big Topics and Small Titles"?"

"No, I'm pumping my back," Lin Yanchao said, "Brother Ma, didn't you say it?" If I am really blinded, not blinded! ”

The scholar surnamed Ma originally wanted to sneak out of the door because everyone had no idea, and everyone was standing by the door, but Lin Yanchao didn't know whether he suddenly clicked on him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother Ma, you really shouldn't be."

The scholar surnamed Ma laughed twice and said, "My stomach hurts a little, go to Gong first, let's continue." ”

Several classmates who were good friends with the scholar surnamed Ma hid their faces, and a scholar didn't even want his face, even if he lost, he couldn't afford to lose.

Yu Ziyou stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, can you get the right question like this?" It's not that there's any trick in this, but it's better to teach us and so on. ”

On the side, Chen Xinggui also stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Lin, don't be stingy." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "It's really lucky, to tell the truth, it's not that there is any trick, you see I just memorized it by breaking the question, and I can't memorize it all below, if it is next time, it will not be so lucky." ”

"That's right."

"Brother Yanchao, you can't memorize the entire dozens of books."

Some people snorted disdainfully: "Even like this, you can take the second test, it's really lucky." ”

"Yes, the exam, the township exam also stipulates that candidates are not allowed to cheat, but they didn't say that they can't write silently, during the Jiajing period, there was a person in the township exam, three test questions, all the records were engraved, self-breaking questions, undertaking the questions until the end of the question, it is not easy to say a word, the examiner is still from Hanlin, and he didn't see it, and the result was also taken as a lifter."

"So what's the use of me waiting for ten years in the cold window, it's better to memorize by rote."

"Eh, it's not the year of Jiajing again."

After listening to this, the classmates finally found an acceptable answer and dispersed, but the discussion between them did not stop.

After Lin Yanchao waited for everyone to leave, he walked to the wall, and Zhaifu repasted everyone's rolls.

At this moment, no one appreciated it, and Lin Yanchao stopped by the wall, studied the scrolls of Ye Xianggao and Yu Ziyou, and figured out word by word for the comments on the county school teachings above.

In the study room, the building was already empty, and only Lin Yanchao was still studying.

In the pavilion outside the study house, Yu Ziyou, Chen Xinggui and a few people in the outer house gathered together. Everyone's expressions were a little unkind.

A yanai sneered: "Mo Feilin Yanchao stepped on shit all night last night, otherwise his luck would be too damn good?" ”

Chen Xinggui glanced at him and said, "You also believe this, even if he steps on the shit of the whole house, it is impossible to be so lucky about these three questions." ”

Yu Ziyou said: "Brother Chen, but if this is the case, we can't believe it, unless he memorizes the whole book of "Big Topics and Small Inscriptions". ”

As soon as Yu Ziyou said this, the people in the yamen said in unison: "Compared to this, I would rather believe that he stepped on the shit of the province last night." ”

"I'll just say that this kid has some Taoism!" Chen Xinggui tapped his fingers on the table.

One of the Yanai said: "Yes, even a prodigy can't memorize the entire "Big Topic and Small Title Wenfu" in half a month. ”

Yu Ziyou groaned: "In this way, there is only one reason that can be said!" ”

The disciples glanced at each other, nodded together, and said, "Yes, he cheated." ”
