Xu Yan said passionately about his lifelong ambitions, which really shocked Lei Li.

His lips were twitching, and he still felt that he should say something.

"It is rare for you to have such lofty ambitions at a young age."

He stroked his beard and said leisurely: "But now you have to do a good job, and strive to achieve fame as soon as possible. Only in this way can you serve the court."

"Thank you for your teachings from the great master."

Xu Yan quickly responded.

"Brother Xushan is a great scholar of his generation. If you follow him, you will definitely succeed in learning."

As soon as Lei Li finished speaking, Xu Yan continued: "What the Grand Master said is very true. Students can achieve small success today, and their teachers teach them well. But it is precisely because Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches, and it depends entirely on the support of the old trunk. If there are newborns next year, ten feet of dragons and grandchildren will surround the phoenix pond."

Hum? I recited a poem during this time of speaking?

"Hsinchu is higher than the old bamboo branches, and it depends entirely on the support of the old trunk. If there are newborns next year, ten feet of dragon and grandson will surround the phoenix pond..."

Lei Li chanted it again, but she felt it was very interesting.

On the surface, this poem describes bamboo, but in fact it uses bamboo to describe people.

Isn’t Hsinchu a student, and isn’t Laozhu a teacher?

Hsinchu is superior to old bamboo branches, and it depends entirely on the support of the old stems. The meaning of these two sentences is that students can surpass themselves and surpass themselves because their teachers are well-educated.

There will be new students next year, and ten feet of dragons and grandsons will surround the phoenix pond. These two sentences point out the topic, pointing out the good teacher style passed down from generation to generation.

Xu Yan knows how to be grateful.

"Brother Oyama, you have accepted a good student."

Lei Li turned to Chan Dehong Road.

Qian Dehong smiled proudly and said, "This child is really good. He knows how to be ambitious and respects his teachers."

In a few words, Qian Dehong affirmed Xu Yan's previous words.

Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Xu Yan, are you from Dinghai County?"

Lei Li suddenly asked a question, and Xu Yan's nerves that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.

"Reporting to the great master, the student is from Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture."

Lei Li nodded slightly.

"I will first preside over the examination of Hangzhou Prefecture, and then go to Shaoxing, and then Ningbo."

To Xu Yan's surprise, Lei Li actually told him the next itinerary directly.

According to the customization of the Daming Dynasty, the school officials are responsible for presiding over the examinations of the provincial prefectures, prefectures, and counties.

The term of office for a school official is generally three years. Within three years, all counties must be inspected and the hospital examination must be presided over. This is really a physical job.

Therefore, the school-promoting officials usually hold college examinations in various prefectures and cities, and order all students in the prefectures to take the exam together.

This can greatly reduce the workload and will not affect the selection of students.

Leili should do the same.

According to the ten-day stay in a mansion, Lei Li should go to Ningbo to preside over the examination in twenty days to one month. In other words, there is only one month left for Xu Yan to prepare for the examination.

This information is very important, which means that Xu Yan must concentrate on solving Zhou Youde's affairs as soon as possible and concentrate on preparing for the exam in the school.

"Thank you for your advice."

Xu Yan sighed in his heart that Daming is indeed the most important relationship.

If he was not Qian Dehong's student, if Qian Dehong was not Lei Li's friend of the same year, he would not have met this time today.

Although Lei Li didn't promise him anything, the two of them had already brought a lot of relationships closer, and they were no longer cold strangers.

This is very helpful for the examination.

After all, people have emotions, and subconsciously they will promote familiar people.

"Brother Xushan, I won't disturb your master and apprentice's conversation. Let's talk about it later."

Lei Li was very casual and gently stroked his beard.

Qian Dehong nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, he ordered Xu Yan: "I won't send you the Grand Master yet."

Xu Yan hurriedly served the people and sent Lei Li all the way out of the academy.

Seeing Lei Li gradually drifting away and finally disappearing at the end of the intersection, Xu Yan sighed: "Mr. Master, why don't you tell me about this kind of thing in advance. This almost scared me to death."

Qian Dehong flipped through Bai Yin and said, "If you told you in advance, can you still study with peace of mind? I'm afraid your tail will be raised to the sky."

Xu Yan said aggrievedly: "Students are so unbearable in your heart? Then you just..."

"What did you do just now? Expose you in front of Lei Tixue? Are you that stupid to be a teacher?"

He snorted, "But you, your face is not red and your heart is not beating when you lie. You only sleep for three hours a day? I'm gonna be! Why don't you say you're going to sleep for three or five hours?"

Xu Yan said laughing and cryingly: "You are a great scholar of the generation, how can you say dirty words? Pay attention to your image a little."

Qian Dehong said disapprovingly: "The great scholars can't say dirty words? The great scholars also eat grains and grains. Besides, being a teacher is talking about it behind closed doors, just like a father who teaches his son a lesson, but he can't say you anymore?"

Xu Yan was speechless.

Is there any such metaphor?

How did he feel he was taken advantage of?

"Today, you are shocked. Lei Tixue likes hardworking people the most. You are just right to flatter. As for that poem, you are a little conscientious and you are not in vain for your teacher."

Xu Yan thought to himself why Mr. Qian is like an old child, but this is good, and he is not that tired.

"Look at what my mentor said, the students have always been grateful to you."

Xu Yan climbed up the pole: "Students still remember the scene of the day they became disciples. Students have been tied to you in this life."

Qian Dehong shook his head and said, "At a young age, I can say that I am so angry. How many years can I live for my teacher? You have a bright future. Don't tie it to me..."

Xu Yan opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped.

Nothing seems appropriate to say at this time.

After a moment of silence, Qian Dehongfu became a gesture of laughter and scolding again.

"You can't even open your eyes when you say these sour words. Forget it, you heard it today. Lei Ti will go to Ningbo Prefecture Presidency for the exam soon. You kid should concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Recently, Xu Yan always asks for leave every now and then, which makes Qian Dehong very unhappy.

When preparing for the exam, you need to be prepared for the exam. How can you do it if you can’t calm down?

Seeing that the teacher had talked to this point, Xu Yan simply gritted his teeth and said, "Mr., the student may have to take a leave... Something that has ended up needs to be dealt with."

Qian Dehong's beard blew up in anger for a moment.

"Why have you been taking leave? Could it be that you are going to the brothel Chu Pavilion to have fun?"

Xu Yan quickly explained: "The teacher misunderstood. It was the student's business at home. There were only some things left to end. The student wanted to do it successfully."

Qian Dehong thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it, I'll let you have a last time off. This time you'll handle everything before you come back. After that, you won't be allowed to leave Gushan Academy until the college entrance examination!"

Xu Yan was overjoyed: "Thank you, my teacher."
