"You're right, brother."

Zou Youheng cleared his throat.

"Since the questions in this exam are so strange, so many people who are full of poetry and literature can't pass the exam, why can a person like me who is a halfway monk be able to pass the exam? I know from the very beginning that you all had this question in your minds—"

The small teahouse was instantly quiet and weird, seeing that Zou Youheng was about to start talking about it, although everyone had their own ghosts, but without exception, they all wanted to hear how he wanted to explain such a thing, after all, the facts were in front of him, no matter what he said, it seemed to be useless.

Zhou Ming and Lin Zucheng, who had been sitting, also looked at Zou Youheng a little worriedly.

Especially Zhou Ming, he is now beginning to regret his impulsiveness just now, if it weren't for his impulsiveness, Zou Youheng would not be on the cusp like now. This group of scholars who failed in the examination room were full of resentment and had nowhere to vent their grievances, and now Zou Youheng stood up, like a target.

If Zou Youheng was really targeted today, Zhou Ming decided to use his shop on West Street as an apology, but I don't know if Zou Youheng, who was already full of holes by then, would still have the heart to ask for his shop.

Sensing the gazes projected by the two people opposite, especially Zhou Ming's gaze with obvious guilt, Zou Youheng glared at him angrily. After this matter is resolved, he will definitely make Zhou Ming "bleed".

"We have just analyzed the test question pattern this time, because the change in the test question pattern has caught many people, especially experienced and talented people, off guard. But for me, there is no such thing as zài. You know that. I was playful, and I didn't study well for a long time before. I only started studying last year, and although I think I have worked hard during this year, it is far from what you have learned. ”

"But there are benefits to being like me. Since it was my first time taking the exam, I didn't understand the previous test question pattern and so on. Not even a concept. In order to write an article, I had to read all the topics carefully. Because the writing is not good, I don't write fast, or even very slowly. Until the incense stick in front of the table is about to burn out. I've just finished writing the article. ”

"That's what you want. Being too good not only did not help the imperial examination. Will it drag it down?!! ”

The man looked at Zou Youheng coldly.

"This brother, what is your surname?"

Zou Youheng asked with a smile.

Although he didn't know the specific reason, he had confirmed that this person was sincere in doing it against him.

"People like us who are in the market. What does it matter who is the last name? ”

The man wasn't going to say.

"The people of the market? Brother Tai is too humble. The people standing here today may be important ministers of the court and pillars of the country in the future, how can you say that they are small people in the market? ”

Zou Youheng's face was stern.

There are more and more people in the small teahouse, but Zou Youheng's words have made these scholars, especially those who are famous in Sun Mountain, very useful.

Originally, they basically didn't have any opinions on Zou Youheng's admission, but because some people were agitating and they were in a bad mood after losing the examination room, they relied on the large number of people and began to have the courage to confront Zou Youheng. But after listening to him say so much, especially so many words of praising them and finding reasons for their defeats, the original gloomy mood of these scholars became much smoother, and their feelings gradually calmed down.

As soon as they calmed down, they began to think of Zou Youheng's identity and realized that he was the son of the prefect, although Zou was known as a clear man, but it was always a little bad to work against his son, they were all people who wanted to take the imperial examination, and no one wanted to offend the prefect at such an early age.

"This brother, I see that you are also a person of temperament, and you have a lot of personal opinions. Can you tell us what you think of the questions? ”

Zou Youheng threw the ball back to the man who took the lead in agitation.

"What's the idea? My opinion is that how can someone like you get in?! ”

The scene was out of control, and the man was getting nervous.

Hearing this, Zou Youheng couldn't help but smile and shook his head.

No matter who the other party is, but only one person is sent, is it underestimating his ability or overestimating the ability of the person sent by the other party?

In fact, taking the lead in encouraging that person is already very powerful, but Zou Youheng feels that he is better than him.

"Why did I get in? Didn't you just say it very clearly? This brother, although he is a halfway monk, I can also worship under a famous teacher. I've been to several schools in this city, but I've never seen you...... Are you really our classmate? ”

It's almost time to fight back, after saying so much, just wait for such a moment, so Zou Youheng will definitely not waste it, even if he is thirsty now.

"I ...... Hmph, I don't usually go to Fireworks Alley, so naturally you haven't seen me. ”

The man laughed as he spoke.

"Have you all seen him?"

Ignoring the man's answer, Zou Youheng looked at the others and asked.

Most people shake their heads.

"Old Xu, you have the longest seniority, have you seen him?"

Zou Youheng looked at Xu Lao, who was standing at the front, and asked again.

"Being asked by you Young Master Zou, it seems that I really haven't seen this brother in the academy."

Xu Lao stroked his goatee with a thoughtful expression.

"Hmph, you're so old, it's not unusual for your eyes to be bad."

The man sneered.

"Eh, how do you speak, although Elder Xu is a few years older, when it comes to eyes, I don't think even you can compare."

Someone in the crowd immediately retorted.

Although this Xu Lao fails the exam every year, because he usually teaches in the academy, coupled with his elegant and decent temperament, he is very respected by these scholars.

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. Mr. Xu is highly respected, and I naturally admire him very much. I don't want to hide it from everyone, because I am a little afraid of life because of my personality, my family specially invited my husband to teach me at home. ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man quickly changed his words.

"Oh? Such a coincidence. It just so happened that I also invited my husband to teach at home. I don't know whose name Brother Tai worships? ”

Zou Youheng asked at the right time.

"I think this brother is speaking decently and your writing is flying, you are definitely from a famous teacher."

Lin Zucheng, who had been sitting next to him, also added a sentence when he saw this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the teacher who taught me is not a master. The name is not loud, and you probably have not heard of it when you say it. ”

The man had no choice but to continue with the words.

I thought that as long as the love of this group of scholars was stirred up and Zou Youheng was angered, the two sides would definitely do it. But who would have thought that this Zou Youheng not only didn't eat hard and soft, but also a little clever, and the situation he finally controlled was basically reversed by Zou Youheng until now.

"Tell me, Elder Xu will definitely know."

Zou Youheng knew that this person would never be able to say it, so he continued to add fuel to the fire.

"yes, maybe it's still my former classmate."

Xu Lao also said.

"Huh? Why do people suddenly care so much about my teacher? I'm not a local, and my mentor is not, so you don't know. ”

The man frowned.

"It's already noon, and you've been here for most of the day, so you shouldn't have had lunch yet, right? We met at the same time and here, and this kind of fate is really rare. Otherwise, let me invite you to a light meal, which can be regarded as a commemoration of our fate. ”

Looking at the sun outside the teahouse, Zou Youheng said with a smile.

Everyone's feelings have basically calmed down, and the words of the person who took the lead in agitating have no effect, and since this is the case, it is better to end this farce by having a meal together.

"What do you think? I know that people like me, who don't have much literary talent, want to let you appreciate your face is indeed a bit high, but since you are so destined, I still hope that you can appreciate your face and deign to come and have a light meal......"

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Zou Youheng continued.

In fact, these scholars were worried about how to solve the noon meal, and Zou Youheng's mention was right in their arms. It's just that based on the unique self-esteem of readers, they can't agree so quickly.

But Zou Youheng's later words just gave them a spacious step to go down.

"Young Master Zou is right, meeting is fate, since there is fate, let's have a meal together."

Elder Xu was the first to speak.

"How are you doing?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Lao turned his head to look at the others.

"Yes, everyone is also considered classmates, and they should have a meal."

"I agree."

"Since Young Master Zou has kindly invited, let's shirk it again, it's a bit out of courtesy."

……

Everyone is gossiping, but the meaning expressed is the same, that is, they are willing to go.

"Hey, y-?"

Seeing that everyone's attitude towards Zou Youheng had changed, the man suddenly became anxious.

If this matter is not done well today, what will he explain when he goes back?

"Since Young Master Zou has the heart to have a treat, you can also join us."

A man next to him patted him on the shoulder and said.

"You're too spineless, aren't you? Have you all forgotten how this person got in?! Now I have to eat with him, but everyone is a person who has read the books of the sages, but because of a meal and a few rhetoric, they are in the same stream with him?! ”

The man shouted.

"As for how you got in, Young Master Zou has already said it very clearly just now, could it be that you haven't listened to this brother? Also, all of you here will be the pillars of the Great Cause Country in the future, why don't they believe in the authority of our Great Cause Country and listen to your words? ”

"You said that Young Master Zou used the side door to pass the exam, then I still suspect that you are trying to provoke the relationship between all of us with a malicious purpose......"

Lin Zucheng and Zhou Ming also stood up from their positions and said loudly as they walked.

"You're ......!!"

Hearing this, and adding that those scholars had already followed Zou Youheng out, the man's face was full of anxiety, but there was nothing he could do. (To be continued......)
