Chu Zhen was planted on this regulation, due to the departure of his friends, he had no intention of studying, and he failed in the monthly examination in a row, and was finally sent home by Liu Yi, the teacher of the academy.

"You come with me." Seeing Chu Qian's face ashamed, but he didn't say a word, the silver-haired old man looked back and felt that this was not a place to talk for a long time, so he said lightly, turned around and walked the same way, Chu Zhen had a trace of joy in his heart, hesitated, and didn't follow for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? Not to keep up yet. Not hearing the movement behind him, the silver-haired old man turned around and looked around, and found that Chu Zhen was still standing there in a daze, and asked in some surprise.

"I don't know when Liu Jiaoyu will come back, and students can't leave easily." Chu Zhen said with an embarrassed expression.

Well, it seems that he really doesn't know who he is, so it's just a coincidence, after all, he is also a whim, so he returned to the academy, it is impossible for anyone to know in advance, set up a set and wait for himself, besides, this kid is still young, his mind should not be as careful as he imagined, after thinking about it carefully, the doubts in the silver-haired old man's heart were dispelled.

"Didn't I tell you, Liu Yi is giving a lecture and won't be back until noon." The silver-haired old man said, "Do you want the old man to invite you?" ”

"Don't dare to bother the elderly." Chu Zhen said, looked at the empty teaching house, and then walked towards the silver-haired old man, the silver-haired old man nodded slightly, led Chu Zhen to turn a few corners, came to a room, and pushed the door directly.

Although the room layout is simple, only a desk, chair, coffee table, a few pieces of furniture, but it is extremely elegant, there is a bookshelf on the west wall, the shelves are all piled up with all kinds of books, as soon as people enter, they immediately feel the strong smell of books.

"Sit down and talk." Seeing that as soon as Chu Zhen entered the house, his attention was focused on the books he had worked so hard to collect, and the silver-haired old man's heart swelled with appreciation.

There are so many books, and there are many peerless and unique books, if they can be brought back to modern publishing, I don't know how the boss will reward himself, as an excellent employee of the publishing house, out of professional instinct, Chu Zhen naturally pays special attention to books, but he didn't expect to leave a good impression on the silver-haired old man.

"Why were you expelled from the Academy?" Seeing Chu Zhi sit down obediently, the silver-haired old man didn't bother to speak, and asked directly, he was also a little curious in his heart, judging from the superficial phenomenon, Chu Zhen didn't look like a student who caused trouble and made serious mistakes, but was very gentle and generous, and his demeanor made people feel good.

"The student did not perform well in the monthly exams, and he got the last prize three times in a row." Chu Zhen lowered his head, his face was unbearable.

"I see." The silver-haired old man frowned, it's not that he misbehaves, but his posture is so stupid, he still can't grasp it after giving three opportunities, how can he cultivate it, but seeing Chu Qian's handsome and handsome appearance, ashamed and embarrassed, the silver-haired old man's heart moved, and he felt that there might be a hidden secret, so he opened his mouth to probe: "Zi said: Rich and can be sought, although the whip is a person, I will also do it." Where does the language come from, and what is the explanation? ”

"From the Analects. Saying, rich and can be sought, although the whip is a man, I am also for it. If you can't ask for it, do what I like. Chu Zhen shook his head and recited the whole sentence, and then explained, when he worked in the publishing house, he didn't know how many times he had to publish the Four Books and Five Classics every year, and Chu Zhen didn't do much proofreading work, and he was familiar with it over time, and answering the silver-haired old man's questions was simply a breeze.

Besides, Baique Academy is not so easy to enter, and it has to go through layers of examinations before admission, when Chu Zhi was able to enter Baique Academy to study, it was not by virtue of family relations, but by virtue of real talent and learning, and those who were admitted through selection and examination, even if they were not as good as other students, but the foundation was still there, and the memory of the two was combined, so that Chu Zhi's confidence was doubled, and the answer was like a stream.

Listening to Chu Qian's calm explanation, the silver-haired old man nodded lightly, but this topic is too simple, and it can't come out of the school, so he took advantage of the situation and came up with a few more questions, from "Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography", to "University", "The Mean", "Etiquette", and even "Zhou Yi", "Historical Records", "Han Feizi" did not miss anything, at the beginning, Chu Zhen could easily answer, but later, it took some time to think, and in the end, he finally stopped talking.

"The students are only shallow in their learning, which makes the elders smile." Being able to write down so much is already his limit, and Chu Zhi is very wise to prescribe oral infusion.

"It's a good thing to be able to recognize your own shortcomings and correct them." The silver-haired old man said lightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart, without making a lot of effort, it is impossible to memorize so many scriptures, and remember so much content, how can he get the last grade in the monthly exam, and it has been like this for three consecutive months, there must be a reason for it.

"What the elders teach is that students should take it to heart." Chu Zhen got up and bowed and said.

"Chu Qian, the old man has something to understand, with your talent, the monthly exam is naturally not a problem, why do you fail repeatedly?" Can't just watch a teachable talent fall into this, the silver-haired old man asked.

Chu Zhen didn't dare to slack off, and said that because his friends returned to his hometown, he was in a trance, had no intention of learning, lost his soul all day long, and answered indiscriminately during the exam.

"Nonsense, children can't be taught." The silver-haired old man frowned, and said unceremoniously: "Now is the time for you to devote yourself to learning, how can you be cranky and distracted from other things, your friend is a lesson from the past, you should learn a lesson, take it as a warning, but you repeat the mistakes of the past, it is really infuriating." ”

"What the elder said is very true, after returning home, the students have been thinking day and night for two days, tossing and turning, feeling remorse and chagrin in their hearts, only feeling that they have failed the teachings of the teachers of the college, and have gone astray for a while, until today, the students can no longer forgive themselves, so they come to the college, hoping that the teachers will give the students another chance to make up for their mistakes." Chu Zhen said sincerely.

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place." The silver-haired old man shook his head and sighed, although his heart burned with love for talents, but after all, rules are rules, even if he is the founder of the academy, he can't easily change them, otherwise how can he convince the public.

"The sage has a saying, knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great, and the students are sincerely repentant, and I hope that the college will give them another chance." Chu Qian's heart was cold, but he still didn't give up.

"The academy has given you three chances, but it's a pity that you ignored it, but since you have the heart to repent, that's also a good thing, and then move forward, in the future, you have to be like your friend, work hard to read poetry, books, scriptures, and righteousness, make a difference in the imperial examination, and wash away today's insult." The silver-haired old man encouraged.

"The students have not pleaded with the college teachings, how can the elders be sure that the college will turn the students away." Chu Zhen was obviously very unconvinced, and said disapprovingly.
