Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dark Tide Is Surging

Qin Haiming stood beside him, carefully observing Zhang Bojin's face, as the son of a businessman, it seemed to be his instinct to check his face.

"Zhang Gongzi, he really learned well, and this monthly exam is ranked first-class." Qin Haiming first held Zhang Bojin a little, and saw that Zhang Bojin's face had a hint of red light, and then said: "I don't know if Zhang Gongzi has leisure, I have two folding fans and want to ask Zhang Gongzi to write poems and paintings, and I will return home at the end of the year to give them away, this thing is the most elegant gift." ”

Zhang Bojin's face softened, and he wrote a poem or painted a few strokes on a fan, and Qin Haiming gave five taels of gold, and two handfuls of ten taels of silver were enough for himself to spend until the end of the year, but in the future, when I went straight to the top, these ink treasures were not only worth five taels of silver, but they were also cheaper than this kid.

Qin Haiming secretly sneered, if it weren't for the book surnamed Zhang, how could he spend a lot of money for him to squander. Thinking that he had also studied hard in the cold window, and had also visited the Master, when was his luck bad, and he was named Sun Shan in two township exams in a row, and accidentally learned from Zhang Bojin's mouth that he had a book of "Calendar Holds Fortune Collection", and he made good friends with him, and wanted to see the secret to change his fate.

Someone in the crowd said in a weird manner: "A newly enrolled talent, less than twenty years old, has studied for a few years, and can overshadow so many seniors, I'm afraid it's boring." ”

The anger was ignited all of a sudden, the crowd was surging, the more they talked, the more angry they became, I don't know who shouted, "Find Mr. Theory", and the flow of people flocked to Juxian Hall.

Zhang Bojin smiled slightly, beckoned Qin Haiming and said, "Brother Qin, it's not too late to paint the fan at night, let's go and see the excitement together." ”

Along the way, more and more people gathered, and there were nearly 100 people in front of Juxian Hall.

All the teachers in Juxian Hall are there, Shi Ningzhong took the results of the monthly exam in his hand, and said with a smile: "This Jiang Anyi is very good, the young man is determined, and he will rank first in Chongzhi Hall in three months, I am afraid that it is very easy to break, so it is better to keep a low profile and be ready to go." ”

"I don't agree with Shishi's words," Ling Xu retorted: "A young man is like the beginning of everything, just trying to move forward and achieve a career, how can he be obscure and self-contained." ”

Shi Ningzhong shook his head and smiled silently.

There was a noisy sound outside the door, Shao Renfu frowned, and said, "Why is it so noisy?" ”

Ling Xu stood up and said with a smile: "I'll take a look, there should be no doubts, I made an appointment to ask Mr." ”

Ling Xu came to the door, and saw that the front of the door was full of people's heads, and a group of people were talking badly and were emotional, Ling Xu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Finally hearing the reason, Ling Xu's face was pale, his eyes were wide, and he shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable, do you think that Ling is unfair and cheating?" ”

At this time, everyone in the hall also walked out, and seeing that Ling Xu was trembling with anger, Su Ziming hurriedly shouted, "What are you going to do?" Is this how you respect your teacher? ”

Ji Yanqing and the others persuaded Ling Xu on the side, inquiring about what was going on, and when they heard the sentient beings questioning Ling Xu's fraud, they were all furious. Although this exam paper was produced by Ling Xu, everyone had discussed it in advance, and the correction and evaluation were participated by several lecturers, and the question of Ling Xu was the question of all the gentlemen.

Shao Renfu walked forward with his stomach straight, coughed twice, and shouted: "If you don't retreat back, you will make trouble again, and you will write down your name and expel you from the academy." ”

A voice came out of nowhere in the crowd, and said faintly: "Mr. is acting like this, I'm afraid that everyone will be unconvinced." ”

Ling Xu had calmed down and sneered at everyone, "Okay, good. I'll convince you today. Brother Su, you have to bring Jiang Anyi's test papers for this monthly exam. ”

After taking the test papers, Ling Xu glanced at the crowd, Qin Haiming was a tall man, Ling Xu saw him at a glance, and said by name: "Qin Haiming, you come to read it to everyone, and see if the gentlemen are old and dizzy." ”

Qin Haiming was very hurt, so many people were coaxing, I just came to see the excitement, why did you just call my name? I'm at fault. But Mr. didn't dare to disobey the name, Qin Haiming had to take the test paper with a bitter face and read it one by one. Everyone listened quietly, their conscience was clear, Jiang Anyi analyzed the scriptures and meanings thoroughly, and obviously worked hard, which was better than what he answered; The strategy is written with rigorous language, incisive insights, and eloquent and powerful, and it is a good argument.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Ling Xu sneered: "One by one, they don't care about studying, but they put their minds on finding people's mistakes, and they feel embarrassed by being surpassed by their juniors, so go back and work hard." The annual exam is coming, don't let newcomers laugh and wait for incompetence. ”

The annoying voice came out again, "Could it be that Mr. Ling inadvertently told Jiang Anyi about the topic in the daily class?" ”

A hint of joy flashed in Shao Renfu's eyes, but he scolded with a stiff face: "Which one is talking nonsense?" Can't you believe in Mr. Ling's character? ”

The eyes were like arrows, and the crowd was divided left and right, avoiding Shao Renfu's gaze, and no one stood up.

"Guts and rats, the academy actually has such a student, Ling is deeply ashamed." Ling Xu pounded his chest, angry.

Zhao Xingfeng said with a cold face next to him: "Since there are doubts, you might as well ask Jiang Anyi to take the daily lesson and check it on the spot to show his innocence." ”

"That's very good." Shao Renfu hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao might as well trouble you to take a trip and bring Jiang Anyi's daily lessons, under the eyes of everyone, the authenticity can be known." ”

Then, Shao Renfu seemed to have just remembered, and said with a smile to Deng Haonan, who had been standing in front of the door without making a sound: "Mountain Chief, what do you see? ”

Deng Haonan was silent and nodded. Zhao Xingfeng called two students and rushed to find Jiang Anyi.

Su Ziming stood beside Deng Shanchang, and reminded in a low voice: "Mountain Chief, how can you let Shao Renfu act like this, once you really find out one or two exam questions from Jiang Anyi's daily class, won't Ling Xu be unable to step down, and Jiang Anyi will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the academy." ”

Su Ziming and Ling Xu were friends, and he knew that Ling Xu was very attentive to Jiang Anyi's daily class, and he corrected it in great detail, for fear that Ling Xu would inadvertently leak the topic in the daily class. After all, Jiang Anyi's progress was too fast, and even he was a little suspicious.

"It's okay, I can trust Jiang Anyi, and I can trust Ling Xu." Deng Shanchang said lightly.

Soon, Zhao Xingfeng came back, and Jiang Anyi followed behind with a thick stack of things in his hand. Passing through the human wall, feeling that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Jiang Anyi was a little nervous, I don't know what Zhao Xingfeng asked him to bring the daily class?

Putting down the daily lesson in his hand, Jiang Anyi saluted all the gentlemen, and Deng Shan said, "If any of you have doubts, you may wish to come forward and check." ”

After pushing for a while, five people stepped forward and began to look at Jiang Anyi's daily class, Jiang Anyi recognized one person as Lin Yizhen, it seems that he invisibly offended him in "Yin Ju" on Aspire Wangfeng.

Ling Xu whispered to Jiang Anyi next to him what happened, angry, aggrieved, sad, Jiang Anyi couldn't tell the taste, looked up at everyone in the courtyard, and his faces were full of jealousy, suspicion, ridicule, hostility, of course, there was sympathy and regret, standing in the crowd, Jiang Anyi felt very lonely. Is this what Senior Liu said about getting used to standing in front of everyone and meeting the critical eyes of others?

Ling Xu saw Jiang Anyi's anger, sighed lightly, and persuaded: "Just now Mr. Shi said that you are a young man, and I am afraid that you are very easy to break. Anyi, but I think that although the rigidity is easy to break, but it is also refined, and Mencius Yun's 'heaven will descend to the people', you should keep it in mind. ”

Jiang Anyi's heart was filled with warmth, and he said softly.

Pointing to the people at the bottom of the stairs, Ling Xu said loudly: "You are suspicious of Jiang Anyi, you only see his progress and do not see the efforts he has put in behind him, this nearly thick daily lesson is Jiang Anyi's hard work for three and a half months, you ask yourself if there are so many daily lessons written in a year?" ”

Hearing Mr. Ling's question, Lin Yizhen straightened up, and said with his fingers open the daily lesson: "Shiyun: The original Xi is flat, the spring is clear, the summoning uncle is successful, and Wang Xinzening, what is the explanation?" ”

"There are two sayings in this poem, one is about the king of assassination, and the other is about the beauty of calling Mu Gong......"

"Master Ziyun: A gentleman is a gentleman, and he is born immediately. I wonder if this sentence is related to the poem "Millet Miao"? ”

"Of course there is a connection, what the Master said......

Jiang Anyi gradually let go of his nervousness and answered calmly, as if he was back in the grass house a few years ago and asked and answered with his father, although there was wind and rain outside, the house was warm and peaceful.

The sound of questions faded away, and finally it was no longer heard.

Lin Yizhen carefully stacked Jiang Anyi's daily lessons neatly, calmly came to Ling Xu and Jiang Anyi, bowed deeply, and said: "Lin Yizhen, villain, I misunderstood Master Ling and Senior Brother Jiang, Lin apologizes deeply, please forgive me." ”

Ling Xu sighed: "Knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, Lin Yizhen, you are not a villain, you are a gentleman, I don't blame you, I don't think An Yi will blame you." ”

Lin Yizhen was able to put down his face and apologize in public, Jiang Anyi really didn't expect it, and nodded again and again in agreement with Ling Xu's statement.

Deng Shanchang stepped forward from behind, facing the disciples in the hall, and said in a condensed voice: "Today's matter, I have one worry and one joy. The worry is that you are fascinated by jealousy, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and have lost the way of mentorship and friendship, which is the reason why you can't study at home. Everyone went back and copied the Master's "Chapter on Politics", "Liren Chapter", and "Zizhang Chapter" several times, pondered it carefully, and really read the book into their hearts. ”

Deng Haonan's gaze slowly swept in front of everyone, and continued: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, the fault of a gentleman is like the eclipse of the sun and the moon, if there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged. I saw the gentleman's openness from Lin Yizhen, and the generosity of the gentleman from Jiang Anyi, you also have these qualities, this is the foundation of our academy for three hundred years of education, today's things you should take as a warning, push yourself and others, and temper yourself to achieve high sage. ”

Everyone in the hall agreed in unison.

Watching the severities slowly disperse, Shao Renfu secretly gritted his teeth, originally planning to use Jiang Anyi's incident to attack Ling Xu and shake Deng Haonan's influence in the academy, which seemed to have the opposite effect. Alas, it's too much, Shao Renfu thought, with a smile on his face, and walked towards Ling Xu.
