The county school is the highest institution of learning in Ji County, the courtyard is covered with pines and cypresses, and the sound of children reading is accompanied by cicadas, which makes Lu Linping feel at ease and miss.

Before winning the championship, Lu Linping felt that it was very bitter to read every day, with three more lights and five more chickens; After winning the top prize, he felt that there was only one thing in his heart at that time, which was really good. Now he is full of ambitions, but he is too burdened by human favors to carry them out. It is no wonder that although so many literati are in high positions, many poems of depression and ambition have come out, and Lu Linping finally realized the taste of being cold in high places.

After walking a few more steps, Lu Linping felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. The children in the room were just children, why did the students in the academy who sat idly read and talk only nodded slightly when they saw him, and did not gather around to congratulate him, and took this rare opportunity to ask him how to go to high school?

Lu Linping quickened his pace and crossed Qingsong Road, found a teacher, and asked, "Dare to ask Mr., where is the mountain chief?"

The long-faced gentleman holding the scroll said with a pleasant face, "The mountain chief played a game with Mr. Yunkai today, and he will return in the evening." If Lu Zhuangyuan has anything, he can go to Nanshan Pass for a walk. ”

Lu Linping smiled decently, "Lin Ping came to thank the mountain chief for his advice, it is inconvenient to disturb the mountain chief's Yaxing, and it is not too late to visit tomorrow." ”

Lu Linping's words and demeanor made this gentleman a little dazed, as if he saw Chen Zumo, the former champion of Xie Shanchang, who came to the academy alone three years ago, and he also had such a complacent look at that time. Mr. Teaching came back to his senses and said with a smile, "When the mountain chief returns, Xiaosheng will definitely tell you." ”

Watching Lu Linping leave the academy, a scholar in a green shirt in the pine-room pavilion said, "You and I have met two champions in this pavilion, and this is really a blessed land." ”

The scholars around him disagreed, "The last time Chen Zhuangyuan came, he was cut off from his official position and his reputation in less than a year, and he was also to blame." This champion has not yet come out in April, and I am afraid that his career will not be smooth, so it seems that this small pavilion is afraid of decline. ”

The scholar on the other side stared at the "Golden List Seeking Chapter" in his friend's hand, and quipped, "Brother Wang is so disdainful of Chen Zumo, why does he still hold back on the book he wrote?"

The scholar surnamed Wang raised his finger and touched the bridge of his nose, "Although Chen Zumo's character is poor, the article is really good." We scholars should take the essence and remove the dross in order to benefit. ”

"Hehe......" The scholar on the other side chuckled softly.

Lu Qiyuan walked out of the gate of the county school, squinted at the reflective stone road in front of the door, and wondered where he should go.

Because of his unintentional actions when he was parading the streets, and because of his father's misjudgment, there was a crack in the originally harmonious relationship between them and Chen Xiaonuan's family, and if it was allowed to develop, this crack might cut off his future. Lu Linping felt that he should find a way to mend this crack as soon as possible.

Lu Linping is a person with strong action, and he immediately started to do what he decided. So, he casually beckoned a carriage parked on the side of the road, handed the coachman a dozen copper coins, and instructed, "Go to Nanshan Pass." ”

After the coachman drove on the road, he chatted with Lu Linping, "Lu Zhuangyuan went to Nanshan Pass, did he go to study, watch horses or buy pens?"

These people know that he is the champion, but they don't take him seriously! Lu Linping was depressed in his heart, and replied casually, "Study." ”

"After winning the top prize and studying, it seems that you really like it, you can deal with it this time. Two days ago, the county lord just bought several truckloads of books, and I heard that they were all newly printed and published by famous scholars, and they were all put into the Yunkai Book House and the Five Watch Book House, and many readers ran to see it. "This driver who is driving the car has not earned a lot of copper plates for scholars recently, and the news is very well-informed, "The county lord of Wenchang is really worthy of the title given to her by the Lord of Long Life, so many books in the library are read casually, and they don't take a penny!"

What a barbarian, the book has always only been about the department, how can there be a car count. Lu Linping echoed absentmindedly, "The county lord cherishes the people of Ji County, and his great virtue is clear, and he moisturizes things silently. ”

"It is worthy of being the champion, you praise everyone in one set." The talkative coachman laughed loudly, "If we say that our Jixian County is the most worthy of boasting, it is the Qin'an people and the county lord of Wenchang, although the county lord's temper is a little worse, but there are not a lot of good things to do!" You didn't know if you came late, Jixian three years ago couldn't compare with now, and we couldn't compare with Yizhou at that time. You see, now, even the scholars from Yizhou have come to us to study. ”

"Xiaosheng has heard a little." Lu Linping's heart was even more uncomfortable, could it be that he, the champion of the Great Zhou Xinke, couldn't boast of being a philistine like Chen Xiaonuan?

Chen Xiaonuan used the silver given by the saint to build the library, and most of the books in the library were transported from the Hanlin Academy. Not only that, but the silver she uses to buy books now is also earned from selling her father's painstaking book "The Golden List Seeks Chapters"! When he was in Beijing, Chen Zumo told himself that almost everyone in the world had a good book, but Chen Zumo didn't get a penny for a penny!

Although the study house did not directly make money for Chen Xiaonuan, there was an endless stream of readers from all directions, in addition to reading, they had to eat, drink tea, live in a store, and buy paper and pencils...... What doesn't need silver? In the end, this silver did not flow into Chen Xiaonuan's pocket, she really had a good calculation!

Chen Xiaonuan is now worth a lot, she will marry King Sheng as a concubine, and there will be countless gold and silver, is this not enough? Why is she still so greedy and greedy?

This may be the result of Shang Jia's insatiable nature, which is difficult to change, after she marries into the Shengwang Mansion, sooner or later she will drag the Shengwang into the abyss, ruined and ruined, and will never recover. Thinking of that scene, Lu Linping felt a lot more comfortable, and the noisy coachman became pleasing to the eyes and ears.

Nanshan Pass is surrounded by water and mountains, which is a good place to escape the heat, Lu Linping got off the carriage at the pass and took a deep breath of refreshing air, and strolled in with his hands behind his back. As soon as he reached the entrance, he was stopped by the guards guarding the mountain pass, and asked him who he was and what he was doing here.

Chen Xiaonuan was the center of the imperial city or a fortress in her Nanshan Pass, and she actually set up a post to check the people who passed by! Lu Linping saw that only he was being interrogated in this endless stream of people, so he was displeased, and emphasized in a cold voice, "Xiao Sheng Sui'an 'Lu Linping' and went to Nanshan Ao Yunkai Study House to study." ”

One of the guards recognized him and arched his hand, "Lu Zhuangyuan, please come inside." ”

When passers-by heard that he was the champion, they all stopped to look at him, envious and surprised. When the capital crossed the horse and paraded the streets, Lu Linping saw a lot of such eyes, he raised his head and chest, and walked in unhurriedly.

"Xiaocao, he's the same as your father, and he's also the champion." In the grass on the side of the road not far away, a girl with a lotus leaf whispered.
