"I also know that Lord Zou is honest and honest, but this person is his son. And even if Lord Zou didn't do anything, it doesn't mean that the rest of the Zou family didn't do anything secretly. In short, I absolutely don't believe that this Zou Youheng can be admitted. ”

The man whispered.

"Alas, as you said, if this person is really the son of the prefect, we can't do anything."

"That is, against the prefect, we are not tired of it."

"It's because we've always been like this, greedy for life and afraid of death, and shrinking our necks for a little thing, that's why people say that our scholars are useless."

The human affection was excited.

But the sound was still not too loud.

"Think about it, we have been studying hard for so many years, looking forward to one day being able to get ahead, but now we have let a person who is idle all day long rob it, maybe people will become officials in the future and continue to live that kind of good life, but we will continue to be bullied by such scum!! You can bear this breath if you can, anyway, I can't bear it!! ――”

The man began to agitate.

This group of scholars, everything is good, but they are too timid and afraid of things, what he has to do now is to provoke these people and make them count all the losses over the years on Zou Youheng and even Zou Yu.

"Who do you call scum?!!! ――”

Zhou Ming didn't hold back in the end and stood up directly.

Alas.

Zou Youheng sighed in his heart.

He was very grateful to Zhou Ming for standing up for himself, but now this group of people is excited, and he stands up like this. It is estimated that all the anger will be sprinkled on their heads in a while. At this time, it is not cost-effective to come out and speak at all.

There was a sudden sound, but the surrounding noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down. Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of Zou Youheng's table.

Zou Youheng wants to leave, but now is not the time to leave. The so-called difficulty in riding a tiger is almost what he is in today's situation.

"Yo."

The eyes of the people who had been agitating just now went back and forth between the three people on the next table a few times, and finally stopped at Zou Youheng.

It turned out that the main lord was here, which was really unexpected by him.

"I didn't expect that the son of the original dignified prefect would come to such a shabby place like us. Young Master Zou, did you come down today to observe the people's feelings? ”

The man completely ignored Zhou Ming. directly aimed at Zou Youheng.

Don't look for Ye Xiaoyu. Don't go to the fireworks alley, don't wander around the streets in broad daylight, he has been insisting on these since Zou Youheng was freed from the imperial examination. I didn't expect it. Something that has been carefully adhered to. After all, I still can't escape God's tricks.

Zou Yu tried his best to force him to study hard and take the road of the imperial examination. I guess I would never have thought that there would be such a situation today.

"Is this place shabby? I don't think so. A place that can bring together so many people who are full of poetry and books and full of talents, even if it has only four walls, cannot be called shabby. ”

Zou Yu stood up from his position. He looked around and said slowly.

Zhou Ming on the other side couldn't help frowning, according to what they had done in the past, wouldn't they just have a fight with these malicious people at this time? Why is Zou Youheng still boasting about people, is this person in front of him really the ruffian Zou Youheng he knows?

Zhou Ming was thinking about it, when suddenly his sleeve was torn off, and when he looked down, he happened to meet Lin Zucheng's eyes, and the meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer, so he quickly sat down and didn't speak.

Helpless, Zhou Ming had to sit back in his position silently.

"Yo, that's a rarity. I even started to write crepe, I said Young Master Zou, you have put a lot of thought into this sentence, right? ”

The man continued to laugh.

"This brother, I don't understand what you're saying. Speak as you speak, why bother? Do you put a lot of thought into talking to people? ”

Zou Youheng's tone was steady, even with some respect.

"I've always admired Young Master Zou's name, but I didn't expect you to be such an elegant person. Could it be that the fireworks alley in our Rongzhou City has been changed into a school? Specifically, I hope that Young Master Zou will reveal it, and those of us who are disappointed on the list can also study and study, maybe like Young Master Zou, you will be admitted. ”

As if he had been prepared, the man naturally shifted the topic to the point that most aroused the anger of those scholars.

"Hahaha......"

"Haha......"

Bursts of laughter erupted from the crowd around them.

"Everyone here is a person who has read poetry and books, not to mention articles and poems, although I am not young, but for learning, I am far inferior to everyone here."

In the laughter, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes containing all kinds of emotions around him, Zou Youheng spoke more and more slowly, but every word was very clear. Because it was related to the feelings of these scholars, he had to organize his language every time he spoke.

Frustrated people are the most sensitive, as long as there is a little bit of a mistake, they may sprinkle their anger on themselves, Zou Yu has just been a little relieved of him recently, Zou Youheng doesn't want all his previous efforts to be in vain.

"Who can't say it's so obedient, just tell me, how did you get into it this time??!"

Relying on the large number of people, some of the bold people in the crowd also began to shout.

"Yes, yes......"

"It's not that we want to get along with you, we're just a little curious about this exam."

"Learn from you, maybe you can get in next time. Haha......"

The lobby of the small teahouse was lively again.

The person who had been taking the lead in agitating just now, seeing such a scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Although this Zou Youheng is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined, in the face of so many scholars who are full of frustration and have nowhere to vent, he can't get through this matter.

"You really exalt me too much, each of you is a person who has read poetry and books and is a scholar, where can I have a place for you to learn, I am almost as good as you to learn."

Zou Youheng laughed.

"Young Master Zou, we just want to know how you got into this time."

Someone in the crowd said again.

"How did you get in?"

Zou Youheng smiled.

"I'm just like everyone else, sitting in the exam room on the day of the exam, pairing words, couplings, writing essays, nothing special. But I don't think the test questions this time are very good, and the final article is for us to write an article according to the conditions given, but the requirements are a bit general - Mingde, knowledge of the body, what kind of condition is this? Just these two words, he can write such a paragraph by any person on the street. ”

Seeing that the surroundings began to be quiet, Zou Youheng continued.

"But here's the problem. When many people see these two words, they are very happy, even very happy, because it is easy to write and there is something to write. But I didn't notice that there was another requirement underneath. ”

After a pause, Zou Youheng tried to make his voice louder so that everyone could hear it.

"You need to live with a clear will. When I was carried away by the joy brought by the first two words, few people saw the last sentence, but I think you can't be blamed for this, because according to the rules of the previous year's examination questions, all the requirements for the article were written concisely in the front, and those who had participated in the imperial examination before, according to the established thinking, would not notice this small change at all. Therefore, many people, especially those who are particularly good at writing and have a well-flowing literary mind, often find out that there is such a sentence when the article is about to be written, but at this time, it is basically difficult to change it again. ”

"Okay, we want to know how a wandering kid like you got in, and you don't have to worry about the test questions!!"

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully to Zou Youheng's analysis, the person who took the lead was a little anxious.

"What are you in a hurry, let him finish."

"Yes."

But the others were listening energetically, and they were a little dissatisfied with the man's attitude, and directly pushed the man back with words.

"So I think a lot of people who took the exam this time, especially those who were particularly talented and wrote articles very quickly, suffered here."

Zou Youheng smiled.

"Young Master Zou is right, I was in this situation at the time, and I didn't see the latter sentence until I finished writing everything."

Xu Lao, who was standing at the front, said with deep feelings.

"Yes, I too, I wrote more than half of it before I saw it."

"You still see, I didn't notice this sentence from beginning to end, and if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't know it to this day."

The scholars began to talk about it.

"Ah?!! How can there be this sentence, I didn't see it!! ――”

One of them shouted excitedly.

"I don't see it either."

"I don't see it either, is there really such a sentence?"

"Yes, there is indeed such a requirement added at the end, but unfortunately when I saw it, it was almost time to hand in the paper, and if I wanted to rewrite it at that time, it was impossible to complete it."

Old Xu's voice also became louder.

Zou Youheng said just now, "The more talented and thoughtful people are, the easier it is to fail in this exam" is very appetizing to him, remembering that he only saw the last requirement when he was about to hand in the papers, and remembering the anxious mood at that time, he suddenly felt a little like meeting a bosom friend.

"Let's not be confused by this person's words, what test questions are wrong, let's think about it, the young master Zou standing in front of us has been admitted. He can be admitted, why do we study hard for so many years, but our name is not Sun Shan? ”

The man poked his head out and continued to agitate.

He wanted to get these people's thoughts back before things got out of hand.

At this point, the crowd began to quiet down again.

Seeing everyone like this, Zou Youheng couldn't help but bow his head and smile a little.

――These scholars really don't have any opinions, no wonder they are called nerds. (To be continued......)
