Shen Yichen and Lin Zhen were still talking in the corridor, unaware that such a big controversy had already arisen in the lecture hall.

"Yichen, my teacher has already read your county examination papers. The questions in the four books are very good, but the test poems are too casual. You should pay attention to the subsequent government examinations and college examinations."

Hearing what industry master Lin Zhen said, Shen Yichen was still a little shocked. He thought that at most he knew that he was named as the leader of the case, but he didn't expect that he had even read the test paper. Is this the power of the powerful?

In fact, what Shen Yichen didn't know was that the files were released after the county examination, which was originally part of the imperial examination process.

On the one hand, this allows scholars to learn from excellent articles and serve as a teaching aid. On the other hand, it can also be regarded as a kind of supervision. If the successful test paper is poorly written, you can report it to the Confucian Examination Office. The examiner is showing favoritism.

As Lin Zhenwenkui, is it not easy to see a public test paper?

"Students understand that they will make up for their shortcomings in the future."

Shen Yichen is also very aware of his shortcomings in poetry, but if he wants to make up for his shortcomings, he can only talk about them.

Because after the April government examination, if you are successful as a child, you will immediately take the college examination. If you are successful again, you will gain the title of scholar and get a quota to participate in the provincial examination every three years.

Unfortunately, the ninth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy happened to be the "year of the great competition" when the exam was held every three years.

The Provincial Examination will start on the ninth day of August, which means that if everything goes well, Shen Yichen will have to prepare for exams for most of this year. It is not easy to learn the classics and meanings well, so how can he have free time? What poetry should I learn when I have enough time?

Therefore, even if Shen Yichen wanted to make up for his shortcomings, he would not be able to do so.

Lin Zhen chatted a few more words about his instructions on how to prepare for the exam, and then estimated the time and thought he should return to the lecture hall to continue teaching.

Then he said: "Yi Chen, I still have classes as a teacher, so it is not convenient for me to talk to you for a long time."

"Disciple understands, sir, please continue teaching."

Lin Zhen nodded and was about to return to the lecture hall when an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Yi Chen, if you have nothing to do today, why not stay and listen? My teacher happens to be explaining the meaning of "Shang Shu"."

Regarding Shen Yichen's knowledge, Lin Zhen also knew very well that he was selected as the first to pass the county examination. Under normal circumstances, he would pass the government examination smoothly and then go directly to the hospital examination.

This means that Shen Yichen will formally take the Five Classics exams as soon as May at the earliest.

Nowadays, Shen Yichen's skill in writing "Shangshu" is far less solid than that of his Four Books, and the Five Classics topics are not like trying to post poems, and slight flaws will not affect the overall situation.

The preparation time of one or two months is not long. If Shen Yichen wants to consolidate the meaning of the scriptures and complete the poems, he must seize any free time.

Today I happen to be lecturing on the meaning of scriptures, so it would be best for Shen Yichen to stay and listen to the lecture.

"Sir, I am not a student of Zhaowen Academy, so I might be inconvenienced if I stay here."

Shen Yichen had some worries in his heart. He was not a college student and stayed to attend classes for free, so he could easily bring criticism to the teacher.

"Yi Chen, you are just too cautious. Just follow me in!"

Lin Zhen shook his head helplessly. His disciple was good at everything, but he was too young and mature.

Every detail of life and work must be paid attention to, and this style and habit is not like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

You must know that Lin Zhen has resigned from his job to teach in the past few years and has met many young people of the same age as Shen Yichen. Most of them are young and frivolous and do not know the heights of the world. Only his disciple is different.

After hearing what Lin Zhen said, Shen Yichen also smiled shyly and followed him into the lecture hall.

The students of Zhaowen Academy were still discussing Shen Yichen, but when they looked up, they found that the principal had already walked in, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Everyone, this is my disciple Shen Yichen. I'm going to sit in on a lesson today."

After a brief introduction, Lin Zhen pointed to an empty seat in the lecture hall and motioned for Shen Yichen to sit there.

"I, Shen Yichen, am disturbing you all."

Before Shen Yichen took his seat, he also greeted the students of Zhaowen Academy very politely. He never left anything to say about basic polite etiquette.

I thought it was just to simply sit in on a class and feel the learning atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty Academy, but when Shen Yichen walked to his seat and was about to sit down.

Suddenly, a student from Zhaowen College stood up and saluted him: "My dear, Feng Zichu, I have heard about Brother Shen for a long time, and I am truly lucky to meet him today."

"I have little talent and little knowledge, as Brother Feng said."

Shen Yichen replied humbly, but felt uncomfortable. Maybe it was because this person spoke too much, but he was vaguely aggressive.

"Brother Shen, this is because you are being too modest."

A frivolous smile appeared on Feng Zichu's lips, and he added: "Everyone in Yingtian Mansion knows that you are the leader of the Winter Solstice Poetry Club, and you were selected as the leader of the county examination in advance, and you are highly regarded by the teacher. Let us Zhao Wenzi, all I feel deeply ashamed of myself.”

If the discomfort before was still a subjective feeling, then what Feng Zichu said now is equivalent to confirming Shen Yichen's idea that this guy is provoking himself.

It's just that Shen Yichen doesn't understand. He and he are strangers, so how can he be so aggressive?

Lin Zhen stood on the podium, listening to Feng Zichu's words, but a strange playful expression appeared on his face.

In fact, from the moment Feng Zichu stood up and spoke the first sentence, Lin Zhen had already guessed the other party's intentions based on his understanding of the students. He was not convinced by Shen Yichen!

Under normal circumstances, Lin Zhen would have stopped this kind of classroom competition, and would have scolded him if it went too far. But this time, he had no intention of intervening at all, and even had the mentality of watching a show.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Shen Yichen's past performance was too mature, but it brought out Feng Zichu's competitiveness, making him more like a arrogant and talented man who has a normal reaction when facing a "strong enemy".

Being young and mature is not a bad thing, but being cautious is not a bad thing, but as a young man, can Shen Yichen still be called a young man if he loses his youthful energy?

Being smooth and sophisticated seems to be harmless in every aspect, but in the end, he often loses his persistence and principles in his heart. At this age, Shen Yichen should show his unique edges and sharpness!

Facing Feng Zichu's provocation, Shen Yichen glanced at Lin Zhen subconsciously. After all, these people were also his students.

As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face, you should look at the Buddha's face. How to deal with it depends on Lin Zhen's reaction. It would not be a good idea to disgrace your own teacher.

Just at this glance, Lin Zhen's reaction confused Shen Yichen. The husband seemed not to care at all, and even watched the fun with a faint smile?

Shen Yichen didn't know what Lin Zhen was thinking. Just when he was puzzled, Feng Zichu couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in his heart when he saw that he didn't reply for a long time, as if he was still seeking help from Mr. Lin Zhen.

I don’t even have the courage and strength to fight alone, and I still need to ask my husband for help. I really don’t know why Zhuang Yuan Gong accepted such a coward as his disciple!

It seems that the so-called young talents are just people who deceive the world and steal their fame!

"Since I'm lucky enough to meet you today, I happen to have a few questions that I don't understand, and I'd like to ask Brother Shen a few questions."

"Well, tell me."

Shen Yichen didn't understand what Lin Zhen's attitude was, but Feng Zichu stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster, and it was clear that he wanted to cause trouble, so he was too lazy to continue to be polite.

The reason why Lin Zhen thinks that Shen Yichen is cautious is because Shen Yichen treats the people he respects very well in terms of etiquette, without even a trace of excess.

As for those who are shameless, Shen Yichen doesn't mind letting them see what it means to be sharp.

When he heard Shen Yichen's words "You tell me", Feng Zichu wondered if he had heard it wrong. Did this guy take his polite words that were hidden in the air and seriously asked him for advice?

Are you really stupid and can't hear this, or are you just pretending to be stupid?

"Shen Yichen, you have such a loud tone!"

Xu Donghai took this opportunity to stand up and attack. He didn't believe the head of the county trial case. He couldn't even hear such basic polite words. It was obvious that he was extremely arrogant and really wanted to teach Feng Zichu a lesson!

"Sir, your lecture time is precious. Since Brother Feng wants to answer your questions, don't waste any time."

Shen Yichen did not look at Xu Donghai at all, and even completely ignored his words, but continued to add something to Feng Zichu.

When Shen Yichen said these words, everyone understood his attitude at this time.

That's right, don't you want to ask a question? Then I will answer your questions now. Do you have any questions?

"Shen Yichen completely ignored Xu Donghai. He is really arrogant."

"Xu Donghai is Mr. Xu's cousin. He was beaten by Shen Yichen in the county examination, and now he is so humiliated. I guess Liangzi has formed a knot."

"So what if we end up together? Shen Yichen is the son of Duke Cheng, no better than a cousin?"

"It is rumored that Shen Yichen is unusually low-key. Now he seems to be quite young and frivolous."

"After Feng Zichu won the title of Five Classics, his eyes were high and he finally met his opponent."

Facing this scene, the Zhaowen scholars in the lecture hall began to talk unbearably.

Different from the private schools for "high-ranking cadres" like Chengguo Gongfu's private schools, Zhaowen Academy has students from all walks of life. People like Xu Donghai, who rely on his family background, are usually very arrogant in the academy, and there are many people who are unhappy with him.

In addition, Shen Yichen was born as a maidservant and fought back as a schoolboy. During the process, he also gained the favor of many people. Therefore, even in the opponent's home court, there are still many people who favor him.

"you……"

Xu Donghai and Feng Zichu said the word "you" at the same time, but found that after colliding with each other, they stopped speaking at the same time.

Both of their faces were a little livid, and they were angry and annoyed inside. Feng Zichu didn't expect that his polite words would be used by Shen Yichen. Now if he wanted to make things difficult, wouldn't it just confirm that he was asking for advice?

Xu Donghai was even more angry. He was simply envious, jealous, and hated Shen Yichen. He regarded the other person as his biggest competitor in the future government and hospital examination cases, so he turned against Feng Zichu and made things difficult for him.

Of course, if there is a chance, it is not impossible to step on it together.

As a result, I never expected that in the eyes of the other party, I was not even an "opponent", and I never looked at him from the beginning to the end.
Chapter completed!
