"Come in!" Lin Chang's voice came out of the study, and his wife also came out of the hall, and said with a gentle smile: "Xin'er is here, eat here at noon." ”

Lin Chang has only one son, who has been studying in Jinyang Mansion and rarely goes home several times a year. Therefore, the mother treats the believer like her own son. Luo Xin hurriedly greeted his wife, and then said:

"My mother has already cooked the meal, and I have something to do with the teacher."

"Go, go!" The master still smiled gently.

Luo Xin came to the study and saluted Lin Chang: "Teacher." ”

"What?" Lin Chang's gaze lifted from the book.

"Does the teacher know about the Wendou in the two counties?"

"I heard that Zhou Zhixian has already sent a letter asking me to go to the county seat in the next few days. I'm about to tell you that the teacher can't give you a lecture these days, so you have to practice a lot by yourself. ”

"Yes!" Luo Xin replied respectfully.

"That's it?" A faint smile appeared on Lin Chang's face.

"Yes! Today, Brother Haode came to inform his disciple that the day of Wendou was set at the end of the month, and asked the disciple to go to the county to find him one day in advance. The disciple thought that this was also an opportunity to learn, so he agreed. ”

Lin Chang smiled and said: "Yes, this is a literary event in the two counties, it's good to go and see it." ”

"It is said that the scholars from the surrounding counties, including the state capital, are rushing to watch this grand event!"

"That's a good thing!" Lin Chang's face flushed with some excitement.

Luo Xin sighed, but still reminded: "But the level of our two counties is ......."

Lin Chang, who was brushing his beard, stiffened his hands, and his face gradually became solemn. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Luo Xin's gaze with appreciation:

"Xin'er, it's nice that you can think of this layer. I'll go to the county tomorrow, and you can study at home. ”

"Yes, Teacher!"

After expressing his intentions, Luo Xin chatted with the teacher again and then said goodbye and went home. He didn't tell Zhang Shu, let alone see his uncle. Lin Chang will definitely inform the two of them.

The next day, Luo Xin really saw Lin Chang, Zhang Shu and Luo Zhi left Shanglin Village and walked in the direction of the county seat.

In the next few days, Luo Xin continued to study step by step, studying fan gong. He didn't take the two counties Wendou to heart, because he felt that it had nothing to do with him, he wasn't even a child, he just went to watch a show.

On the third day of the month, Luo Xin also set off. Luo Ping personally drove the ox cart to Luo Xin to the city gate, and then watched Luo Xin's back disappear into the flow of people, and then drove the ox cart back, ran into someone he knew and asked:

"Brother Luo, you stayed in the county seat last night and rushed back today?"

Luo Ping replied proudly: "No, send my youngest son to participate in the two counties in the morning!" ”

"Brother Luo gave birth to a good son!"

"Hey......

Luo Xin saw that it was still early, so he simply didn't go to the restaurant to eat, so he went straight to the yamen. The people in the yamen naturally knew Luo Xin, so they let Luo Xin walk towards the back hall. arrested a person and asked him to report to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun came in a hurry.

"Brother Xin, you're here!" When Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun saw Luo Xin, their faces showed joy.

"Hmm!" Luo Xin saw that there was no one around, so he arched his hand and said, "I've seen the eldest brother, the second brother." ”

"Let's go, let's go sit in the side room!" Zhou Yu stepped forward and took Luo Xin's hand and walked inside.

Luo Xin followed the two brothers to the side room, and saw that there were already many people sitting inside. And many of them have been seen at the Taoyuan Cultural Conference, but they have not seen Jian Ming and Haizheng. When those people saw Luo Xin coming in, they stood up one by one and greeted Luo Xin.

It stands to reason that all of them are older than Luo Xin, and they all have fame, so there is no need to say hello to a nine-year-old child who has no fame. But Luo Xin has the poem "Taoyuan Autumn", and no one dares to despise him.

Many people think that if Luo Xinken was out last year, there should be no problem in passing the county and government exams. Therefore, Luo Xin is already regarded as a person with merit and fame.

Luo Xin also understood this situation, and reminded himself in his heart that he must not show arrogance, and politely greeted the scholars one by one, and sat down only after everyone was seated, so that all the scholars had a good impression of Luo Xin.

"Brother Xin, I wonder if you have written poems recently?" A boy asked.

"Nope!" Luo Xin immediately shook his head and said: "Every day, I am watched by the teacher to learn the art of literature. ”

All the scholars laughed, they had all experienced this kind of thing, and that kind of boredom could only be understood by those of them who were readers.

People are like this, once they have a resonance, they will be cordial all of a sudden. Soon Luo Xin mingled with these people and integrated into this circle. While everyone was talking, Luo Xin asked Zhang Xun in a low voice:

"Brother Zhang, what about Jian Ming and Haizheng?"

Zhang Xun also said in a low voice: "They are all next door, the magistrate is there to entertain people who are above the fame of Xiucai, and the people sitting here are all children, and Brother Haode is here to entertain the magistrate on behalf of the magistrate." ”

"Oh!" Luo Xin nodded.

Luo Xin consciously spoke less to gradually stop talking, so that he would not seem so abrupt. Sure enough, these people gradually forgot about Luo Xin, and they were happy to talk about it. Luo Xin pricked up his ears, not only listening to what these children were saying, but also faintly hearing the voices next door.

Listening to this, Luo Xin's heart couldn't help but want to laugh. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty are really of a very high status, and their psychology is also a little deformed.

In this era, after the killing of the Central Plains by the Yuan Dynasty, there were almost no nobles before the Tang Dynasty, and they paid attention to Shilin. The so-called Shilin refers to all scholars, because only scholars can pass the scientific examination and go to the temple. Therefore, such a circle was created, and the scholars regarded the people in this circle as the same kind and noble, and despised people from other professions, and even from their words, they also had a faint contempt for the monarchy.

Of course, they don't dare to say it blatantly, but some of the words spoken by the scholars are twisted and turned, and only people of this class can understand them.

During this period, Zhou Zhixian also took the time to come over, and he was also very kind to these children. This is the tradition of Shilin, these people are all children under his jurisdiction, and after becoming an official in high school one day, these are all his connections.

The relationship between the Ming officialdom is intricate, through the teacher, the gentleman, the house teacher, the seat teacher, etc., intertwined into a big net, this big net traps the monarchy in it, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is really the world of scholars, and can even compete with the monarchy.

Zhou Yu, as the master, naturally did not sit next to Luo Xin, but sat on the main seat, and at this time, he felt that the people had come to the house, so he coughed lightly twice, and the room fell silent.
