"Is that okay?" The scholar surnamed Xiong was stunned.

The scholar surnamed Xiong was angry for a moment and said loudly: "You did it on purpose!" Writing from the bottom up is also a word? ”

Before Lin Yanchao could speak, a sour-mouthed academy disciple on the side rushed to say: "Alas, I only know one and I don't know the other, you will know if you write it from the top down, and you will not know if you write this word from the bottom up." For example, if you only know that there are only four ways to write the word back, you don't know that there are fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth? That's why I said brother, you didn't read well enough! ”

The academy disciples on the side burst into laughter.

"I didn't read deep enough?" When the scholar surnamed Xiong heard this, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Forget it, let's not be embarrassed for this brother, this word is written from the bottom to the top and read back, which means the same as the word return." ”

As soon as Lin Yanchao finished speaking, all the disciples of the academy said one after another.

"If you don't believe me, go back and flip through the book."

"Let's go back and read more."

"That's it, come to our Lianjiang Academy to spread wild!"

"The seniors taught a good lesson."

"It's so relieving." Huang Biyou laughed heartily there.

Zhu Xiangwen also laughed breathlessly.

Chen Xinggui said: "I think that in the future, the matter of Yanchao rectification should be passed on as a joke in the academy, and the seniors and new juniors of the academy will have to tell about it in the future." ”

The scholar surnamed Xiong was speechless at this time, and immediately wanted to slip away, but was stopped by several sharp-eyed academy disciples and said, "What's the matter, if you lose, you want to run, and you don't leave a few words?" ”

The scholar surnamed Xiong was at this moment, and tears were about to fall.

"Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving!" Lin Yanchao persuaded.

The disciples of the academy were even more respectful: "The senior's bearing is really high!" ”

The academy disciple on the side said: "The seniors said so, we shouldn't have pursued it, but when people left like this, they always felt uncomfortable in their hearts." ”

The scholar surnamed Xiong saw this scene. hurriedly said: "Everyone, I, Xiong, know that I am wrong, can't I do it?" Later, when I went out to meet the disciples of Lianjiang Academy, I took a detour. ”

"It's still a bit like this, get out!"

"Get out, get out!"

The scholar surnamed Xiong didn't dare to say anything more. Then he made a smile and ran away.

The courtyard was filled with laughter.

On the other side of the academy, Lin Yin couldn't help but smile when he looked at the idle grass set in his hand, when this book was not published, he showed it to several colleagues of the same year.

Several colleagues in the same year were full of praise when they saw it, which made Lin Yin very happy.

Just then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Mountain Chief!"

Lin Yin turned his head, but saw that it was Lin Quan. Lin Yin smiled slightly. He likes this disciple very much, firstly, he is the grandson of his Lin family, Xiaoshang Xianggong, and secondly, he is talented and intelligent, almost on par with his grandfather, the only deficiency is that his strength is a little smaller, but he is still young, Lin Yin doesn't think so.

Lin Yin saw that Lin Quan was also holding an idle grass book in his hand. Smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Did you buy a copy too? ‘

"Uncle, why did you rank Lin Yanchao's scroll at the front of the idle grass collection? The grandson's article is no worse than his! Lin Quan asked.

Lin Yin frowned and said, "Because he is the first in the government exam." It should have been placed at the front of the volume. ”

Lin Quan hurriedly said: "But since he is the first in the palace test, he has already taken advantage of the scenery, why is he cheap here." There is also this pressure volume, why did he also arrange his article, and the benefits of your first and last articles were all taken up by him. Is Xian Caoji publishing books for the disciples of the academy, or is it famous for him alone? ‘

After Lin Quan's long words came out. Seeing that Lin Yin's expression had changed, he was also conscious of being too much at the moment, and lowered his head and said, "Uncle, Quan'er has lost his words." ”

Lin Yin shook his head and asked, "Have you read the article at the end of his volume for learning?" ‘

Lin Quan said: "I've seen it. It's just mediocre, and Quan'er doesn't think there's anything brilliant about it. Any article in our academy is better than him. ‘

"You." Lin Yin shook his head, a little hated that iron could not become steel.

"Why is my grandson wrong? The whole text is plain and I don't know what to say. ”

Lin Yin sighed and said, "Quan'er, you are very talented, no less than your grandfather, but you just can't see the sages. Lin Yanchao's article, if you read it carefully, how could you not know the essence of the words and the good meaning of this article. It's all because you're jealous, and as a result, the article only looks at the surface and doesn't get into the muscles. ‘

Lin Quan didn't expect that his old uncle, who had always loved him, would also speak so harshly.

He didn't dare to contradict, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Lin Yin stepped forward and stroked his shoulder and said: "There are many talented people in the world like carp crossing the river, Yanchao is just one of them, if you can't overcome this jealousy of the virtuous heart, it will be difficult to become a great tool, poetry has clouds, don't ask for it, why don't you hide it." You have to remember. ”

Lin Quan was unconvinced, and could only say: "Yes, mountain chief." ‘

When leaving, Lin Quan stomped his feet heavily, what a broken article, it is obvious that you are biased, and when you get to the hospital exam, you will know whose article is really well written!

On the other side of the academy, Ye Xianggao took it from others and borrowed it to transcribe an article of "For Learning", and was carefully figuring it out.

In the Zhuzi Pavilion, the lights are bright.

A little frog jumped from the wild grass outside the courtyard to the windowsill, staring at the disciples with round eyes and reading hard.

Wow! Wow!

After a few frog chirping, it was common for the disciples of the upper house to read the third watch.

The summer was bitter, and the disciples wore thin shirts and refused to write on the table, writing non-stop, and the sweat on their foreheads unconsciously dripped on the paper and dizzy.

Everyone has a talent for reading, and the comparison is who is more assiduous.

The night is deeper, and the two plum trees outside the Ermei Book House are quietly waiting for the cold winter to bloom.

In mid-July, the new commissioner finally arrived in the provincial capital.

As soon as he arrived in the provincial capital, Tao Tixue settled in the examination shed, announced that the door was closed, and all visits were refused.

Immediately, the government government issued an announcement announcing the date of the August college examination, and ordered the child to go to the government office to collect the registration documents.

The children of Fuzhou came to the provincial capital to take the exam.

Generally speaking, the examiner takes the exam wherever he goes, which county he goes, and which county he gets into. If the inspector is lazy, he will gather the children in one place for the Taoist test, which is called the hanging test.

According to common sense, a county has to take two college examinations during the three-year term of office of the school officer. But in fact, it is difficult to say that the culture is prosperous, and those who are closer to the Department of Learning and Taoism can take two tests in three years. However, in backward and remote areas, you can only go to school once, and you can only take the test once.

In fact, it is very inconvenient for young children to walk hundreds of miles to take the exam.

But as Ming officials become more and more lazy, it has become the norm, and besides, the proportion of teenagers is not so much now. (To be continued......)
