In Changli Academy, when Liu Jin asked his mentor Sun Fuzi for calligraphy advice, there were a few people outside Changli Academy chatting and walking towards the academy very leisurely.

Led by three young people in their early twenties, dressed as scholars, even though it was already winter, the three of them were also holding fans in their hands, opening the fans from time to time, and gently fanning them, looking like a scholarly spirit, scolding Fang Qiu, pointing out the country, and inspiring words.

"Brother Wenda, Brother Yinglin, you and I can be fortunate to study together in this Changli Academy, and we have won the Xiucai exam in the same period, and we will fight together for the township exam next year, if we are lucky, the three of us will have the opportunity to ascend to Tianzi Hall together in the future, which is really a great blessing in life."

The three of them walked side by side, and the person in the middle was called Qin Zhihe, whose name was Guangping, was the most prestigious talent in Changli County, and he was also the first place in the last college examination.

Being able to take the first place in the hospital examination, this Qin Zhihe is now also ambitious, full of confidence in next year's township examination, although he is modest and polite, but between his words, he has already regarded himself as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and thinks that it is his responsibility to share the worries of the Son of Heaven and benefit the people of Limin.

"Brother Guangping is full of wealth, rich in learning, five cars, talented, and naturally full of confidence in next year's township test, but Brother Yinglin and I are not confident, next year we will go to mix experience, and thank God for being able to win next time."

On the left side of Qin Zhihe, this person's name is Li Xiting, the word is literate, but he seems to be lacking in confidence, as the so-called thirty young jinshi, fifty old Mingjing, the road to the imperial examination is definitely not so easy, unless it is really talented and talented, and he can show his talent in the examination at the age of his early twenties, which is already not bad.

"Yes, I am also not confident in next year's township test, I am afraid that in the future, Brother Guangping will already soar, and neither of us may be able to go to Beijing once."

On the right side of Qin Zhihe, this person's name is Xie Kui, the word Yinglin, although he is also a scholar, he is faintly looking at Qin Zhihe in the middle, and he is constantly sycophant when he speaks.

"Brother Wenda and Brother Yinglin are famous, the talents of the two are obvious to everyone, presumably next year will definitely be able to go to high school in one fell swoop, and in the future, you and I will be the same courtiers, and I will definitely be able to greatly increase the spirit of my Changli Ancient Land, which is also a good story."

Listening to the compliments of the two classmates, although Qin Zhihe was also very modest in his words, he also raised his head slightly, which was obviously very useful.

"Speaking of next year's township exam, among our many students in Changli, Brother Guangping, you will definitely be able to go to high school, and you will definitely be able to become a protégé of the Son of Heaven, maybe you will have the opportunity to win the Gui Toad Palace and ride a horse on the street."

"In addition to Brother Guangping, there is no second person in our other students in Changli County who can say that they will be able to go to high school in one fell swoop, if you are lucky, there may be four or five people in high school, if you are unlucky, it is estimated that there will only be Brother Guangping."

Xie Kui never left his line in three sentences, and he had endless sycophants against Qin Zhihe.

"That's right, except for Brother Guangping, no one else dares to say that he can go to high school in one fell swoop, maybe the one with a bigger chance is Liu Jin, although this person is not social, but he studies very hard, and he is already a talent at the age of seventeen, and he still has some level."

Li Xiting is not like Xie Kui who is good at sycophancy, and when it comes to next year's township test, he also thinks that Liu Jin is still very promising.

"Although this Liu Jin is a little literary, but he is a lonely self-appreciative and pretentious, I have repeatedly invited him to participate in the poetry meeting, and I have communicated with my classmates and friends at the same time, but he did not participate."

"This kind of person who doesn't cherish the love of his peers and classmates, even if he can go to high school, he will not be able to do it in the future, but this study is different from being an official."

When it comes to Liu Jin, Qin Zhihe in the middle shows a slightly disdainful look, he Qin Zhihe has lofty ambitions, has literary talents and likes to make friends, and naturally has the heart to make friends with his classmates and contemporaries in the academy, paving the way for the future.

Liu Jin was already admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and he can be regarded as a young talent, Qin Zhihe used to be interested in making friends, and invited Liu Jin to participate in poetry meetings, parties and other activities many times.

But every time, Liu Jin refused one by one, and never participated in various activities organized by others in the academy, so that everyone didn't like Liu Jin, and felt that Liu Jin was proud of his talents and pretentious.

"What Brother Guangping said is that the most important relationship between us scholars is the relationship between teachers and students, the relationship between the same door, and the relationship between classmates, and when Brother Guangping soars and he is still a nobody, he will understand this truth, but I am afraid that when the time comes, he will not even be able to enter Brother Guangping's house."

Xie Kui smiled and nodded, still continuing to pat his ass.

While the three of them were talking, they soon came to Changli Academy, and they also came to visit Master Sun together.

"Your words already have a certain degree of popularity, but you are just blindly copying other people's works, after all, you are still parroting, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance."

"If you want to make a breakthrough, you must integrate your own perception of life into it, form your own style and temperament, only such words can be regarded as the real words, your current words are just in vain, and no charm, stop at its surface, not yet into the wood three points."

In Mr. Sun's study, Mr. Sun carefully looked at the words that Liu Jin had just written, and muttered for a long time, and also pointed out the shortcomings of Liu Jin's calligraphy at once.

"I see, when I practice calligraphy, I always feel that there is no way to do it in one go, and the root of it is that I am always imitating others, and I don't have my own charm."

"I see, thank you for your teachings."

After listening to Master Sun's words, Liu Jin suddenly came to his senses, and immediately understood the problem of practicing calligraphy, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at the Master Sun in front of him.

I didn't expect that the gentleman who taught in a county town in this district had such a deep insight into calligraphy, looking at some of the words hanging in his study, he didn't feel anything at a cursory glance, and after careful study, he didn't know much stronger than the so-called calligraphy masters in later generations.

This makes Liu Jin also have to sigh, calligraphy this thing, really still need the environment and atmosphere, the ancient atmosphere and environment, this calligraphy master naturally came out in large numbers, in the environment of later generations, everyone uses a hard pen, can write brush words is good, in fact, there is no calligraphy at all.

Even if some people write quite well, if you compare it with ancient readers, it is estimated that it is difficult to get into the elegant hall.

"Well, the children can be taught, prepare well, and strive to go to high school next year, and it may not be impossible to be named on the gold list in the future."

Sun Fuzi pinched his goatee and nodded very satisfied, and encouraged Liu Jin.
