Lu Xingchuan, Che Lang, Zhou Zhi, Fan Jin, Wei Haogu, Feng Mao and Qiu Haolan sat down in the Lu family's study.

Lu Xingchuan's father, Lu Qiusheng, because he participated in the management of the "Eight Gentlemen Yicang" that Zhou Zhi and them made, was much more energetic at this time, and he no longer had any problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. During these days, he went to Yicang almost every morning, and even when Zhou Zhi came, he never saw each other. However, when he was about to go out, he had already told the Lu family to prepare a sumptuous lunch to entertain several friends of his son Lu Xingchuan. Especially Zhou Zhi, Lu Qiusheng said hello to the old servant surnamed Tuoding.

The original "Eight Gentlemen Yicang", in addition to the current seven people, there was also Yue Shuzhen of the Yue family. Yue Shuzhen had been reading the summary at home, but he didn't notice that the Wenhui would meet today.

At this time, Lao Fan Jin was in high spirits, his eyes were shining, and he said with a smile, "I haven't seen my brothers for many days, and they are all studying separately, and I want to make progress in these days." Let's not talk about what we have learned from our reading, but let the old man come up with a topic first, and we will write an essay. At noon, I thought that the article would be written, and I would read and comment on each other, and then we would distinguish the superiority and inferiority. ”

Zhou Zhi has always wondered, like Lao Fan Jin is in his fifties, how can he still be so energetic? It's really getting older.

Zhou Zhi narrowed his starry eyes slightly and did not speak.

In Zhou Zhi's thoughts, it's okay to do the same topic together, then the high and low will be separated, and everyone's progress these days will be presented.

Of course, this essay is not to compare one or two, but to provide an opportunity for everyone to learn from each other.

Che Lang also agreed, but Che Lang was calm after all, and like Zhou Zhi, he didn't speak, just smiled.

Feng Mao was the first to respond, and Qiu Haolan also quipped, "Yes, Brother Fan's proposal is good, that is, we should write an article and learn from each other." ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhou Zhixian is studying in the capital Guozijian, and he also became the prince's companion, and the gentlemen who followed him are all talented people, we should really see and see Zhou Zhixian's literary talents!" Lu Xingchuan is colorful.

Lu Xingchuan's eyes were focused on Zhou Zhi, obviously he represented the thoughts of everyone present. said that everyone evaluated and learned from each other, but in fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Zhou Zhi was the object of their learning. After all, these people say that they are studying in academies in various places, but compared with the great Confucian masters in the capital, they are still far from it.

Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Thanks to the brothers who can afford it, Zhou Zhi is not modest, so please ask Brother Fan to ask the question!" ”

Zhou Zhi's words sounded a little arrogant, but in fact, this also reflected Zhou Zhi's self-confidence. Studying in the capital Guozijian, he almost finished reading all the books in Yilun Hall, and received a lot of advice from Confucianism, especially Li Dongyang's teachings, which made Zhou Zhi even more clear-minded and open-minded.

In Guozijian, Zhou Zhi's article has no opponent. Even Liu Kaixian, who is known as the champion of next year, can only sigh to himself. As for Yang Shen, who went later, although Yang Shen is very talented, he is still a lot different from Zhou Zhi now.

In a word, Zhou Zhi said that there was capital at this time.

It may sound like a rhetoric, but it's actually the truth.

Hearing Zhou Zhi speak like this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Yes, Zhou Zhi was not like this before, modest and cautious, never public, but how can he speak like this today? Could it be that Zhou Zhi's personality has changed a lot in just the past six months?

But everyone thought about it, the so-called easy to change nature is difficult to change, and thoughtful temperament will not change. This is Zhou Zhi's self-confidence, it seems that Zhou Zhi has made leaps and bounds in Guozijian!

Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but cast awe-inspiring glances at Zhou Zhi at the same time, but Zhou Zhi looked as usual, and said with a smile, "Brothers, don't look at me, Brother Fan, please hurry up and get out of the question!" ”

Fan Jin is the oldest here, and Fan Jin has actually been very fair. It is actually very appropriate for him to come up with the question.

Fan Jin's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he grabbed the pen in his hand and wrote the title on the paper: With Renda Lane.

Taken literally, these four words don't make any sense, and they can even be said to be bullshit. However, several people present had experienced the study of the academy, and although they were already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, several of them nodded one after another.

This topic can definitely be said to be a strange one.

However, the rate of strange questions in scientific examinations is not small.

Everyone knows that in the Analects; Zihan Ninth begins with the words: Zihan Yan, Profit and Life, and Ren The following is followed by another chapter is "Daxiang Party people said: Great Confucius, erudite and famous......

Fan Jin just connected the last two words in front of him with the first and second words in the back to form this topic.

Judging from this topic, Fan Jin's talent should have made a lot of progress. You must know that the question is a test of people's level, and Fan Jin can come up with such a question, which shows that Fan Jin is already very familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, and it can be said that he is reciting it backwards.

Fan Jin glanced at everyone a few times, and said with a smile, "This topic is also what the old man just obtained, and he has never done it before, so the old man will think about the composition with you!" ”

It's very easy to say.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his face sank, and it was clear that he had fallen into thought.

With the topic in hand, everyone dispersed, found their own place, and began to compose.

It is difficult to solve the problem in the eight-strand text.

Fan Jin's topic does not match before and after, and it is naturally extremely difficult to solve the problem. Che Lang, Feng Mao, Lu Xingchuan and others all frowned and pondered. Zhou Zhi looked as usual, sat in a corner of the study, squinted a few times, and began to grind.

After the ink was studied, almost without thinking, he wrote directly, which can be said to be easy. Zhou Zhi's actions naturally made everyone see it clearly, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle a few times in their hearts, and secretly said, what a powerful Zhou Zhi.

At this time, they naturally don't have too much attention to Zhou Zhi, what they need to do is to think quickly and solve problems.

In less than half an hour, an article was clearly written on the paper in front of Zhou Zhi. The handwriting is neat and sprinkled, and it is very beautiful.

By the way, in the days when I was studying in the country and being the prince's companion, Zhou Zhi's articles were fascinating, not to mention, even the words were written more handsome and beautiful.

After reviewing the article and making sure that there were no mistakes, Zhou Zhi got idle. Peeking at everyone, seeing that everyone was frowning and thinking, Zhou Zhi didn't want to disturb them, so he stood up gently, stood still in front of the bookcase, and began to search for books that he could read in Lu Xingchuan's study
