Chapter 42: The Monthly Exam Arrives
In a month's time, Cheng Zhong regained his madness before the county exam, sleeping only for two or three hours a day, completely treating himself as a thirsty sponge, and the teachings Wang Wenchang and the three instructors were regarded by him as a water source, absorbing them all the time.
Wang Wenchang is extremely satisfied with Cheng Zhong's learning attitude. Especially compared with Lu Duoxun, Cheng Zhong's humility and courtesy make Wang Wenchang like it.
Generally speaking, talented people have a bit of temper, and Lu Duoxun is a typical example.
On the day Cheng Zhong first entered the county school, his arrogant energy completely overwhelmed Lu Duoxun, and it also worried everyone, including Wang Wenchang. A Lu Duoxun is already annoying enough, if you add a Cheng Zhong who is even more arrogant than Lu Duoxun, can there still be any good?
But soon, they realized that their worries were completely unnecessary. Cheng Zhong's arrogance is only aimed at one person, and that person is Lu Duoxun, and Cheng Zhong is humble and polite to other people in the county school, even including servants.
After a long time, Cheng Zhong's popularity has also improved, and there are more and more students around him, although Cheng Zhong is the youngest among all the students, he has faintly become the center of the students.
Moreover, Cheng Zhong also learned from the county master as a teacher before entering the county school, and personally solved a murder case, such a legendary experience is even more exciting than the most bizarre story in the ordinary life of a student! This made Cheng Zhong's prestige higher and more to talk about.
Lu Duoxun, who was becoming more and more lonely, became more and more jealous of Cheng Zhong, wanted to invite him to fight many times, and was worried that he would be "kicked" back by Cheng Zhong like the first time, so he could only work hard to compete with Cheng Zhong in the monthly examination of the county school.
I'm afraid there are few people who don't know Lu Duoxun's thoughts, and the amazing showdown between the two is also full of expectations.
The days are approaching day by day, and Cheng Zhong's heart is becoming more and more bottomless, if you really want to talk about basic skills, any student in the county school is much better than him, not to mention Lu Duoxun, this girl is simply a **!
If it is possible, Cheng Zhong really wants to pretend to be sick and not participate in this monthly exam, and the monthly exam of the original students is not necessary. But Cheng Zhong can't, because he is a case, a new county school, and he is targeted by Lu Duoxun, if he doesn't take the monthly exam, he will be regarded as avoiding the war, which will be even more contemptible than losing the competition.
Now Cheng Zhong can only find a way to make his loss less ugly.
The monthly exam, whether it is looking forward to it or being afraid, is still here after all.
It's already April, the sun is blooming, the grass and trees are green, it is a good time to be bright, at this time, with one or two friends, go out for fun, and naturally enjoy it. But at this time, Cheng Zhong was not in the mood to enjoy this qiē.
Because Hai Rui, the magistrate of the county, was invited to participate in the monthly examination, there were also many literati and ink writers from Huating County, famous gentlemen and gentlemen, and the battle was so large that the number of people attracted could be said to be the largest in the past. Because of the relationship between Cheng Zhong and Lu Duoxun, this monthly exam is already in the spotlight in Huating!
"Lord County, please-" Wang Wenchang invited Hai Rui to the table.
Hai Rui waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, today is the county school monthly exam, you are the main exam, and this seat belongs to you." This county is a guest, and Lord Wang is old and virtuous, so there is no need to be humble. ”
Wang Wenchang was overjoyed when he saw Hai Rui exalting him like this, and he humbly sat down on the table twice.
More than 30 students who participated in this monthly examination have all been present. There are as many as 100 people in the county school, including the students of Diao Shan, Zeng Guangsheng, and the attached students, but most of them are not studying in the county school, so there are 30 people participating in this monthly examination, which is already a lot.
Lu Duoxun was ranked in the last monthly exam, and although Cheng Zhong did not participate in the last monthly exam, and he was the youngest, because it was a county exam, he was elected by everyone and ranked second.
The first and second became the center of attention.
"Lord Wang, how is Cheng Zhong studying in the county?" Hai Rui asked. In the past month, Hai Rui didn't even see Cheng Zhong, firstly, because Cheng Zhong was focused on studying, and there were many things in the yamen, so he didn't ask Cheng Zhong any questions.
"Cheng Zhong is talented, and what is even more rare is that he is very diligent, and he is really a talent that can be created." Wang Wenchang said with praise in his mouth.
"Cheng Zhong can get the guidance of Lord Wang, and it is also his creation, and it must be extraordinary to want to come and benefit. In this monthly exam, many people pay attention to Cheng Zhong and Lu Duoxun, which of them is more optimistic about Lord Wang? "The competition between Lu Duoxun and Cheng Zhong was so hyped that even Hai Rui had heard of it.
"Lu Sheng and Cheng Sheng are both rare talents, if they are at the same stage, it is indeed difficult to distinguish, but Lu Sheng Cheng Zhong is more than three years old, and he naturally has more learning and experience, and he thinks that Lu Sheng's chances of winning should be greater."
Wang Wenchang stroked his white beard and said. Although he prefers Cheng Zhong in his heart, when it comes to learning, he still feels that Lu Duoxun is more advantageous.
"What do you think?" Wang Wenchang asked Hai Rui again.
Hai Rui smiled: "Cheng Zhong is my student, but I, a gentleman, have never taught him for even a day, so I'm really ashamed to say it." However, the county still has confidence in Cheng Zhong. ”
"Oh?" Wang Wenchang asked in surprise: "Where does the confidence come from?" ”
Hai Rui pondered for a while, but still said with a smile: "It's a shame to say that the confidence of this county has no basis, but comes from understanding Cheng Zhong. This son is painstaking and lonely, never admits defeat lightly, and his tenacity and tenacity are only seen in the life of this county, and it seems that there is nothing between heaven and earth that can force him to a dead end, and he can't even move. To put it bluntly, in my heart, he is a monkey who makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and he can always surprise people. Of course, the poked out basket is also terrifying. ”
As soon as they heard this, Wang Wenchang and Hai Rui laughed out loud together.
From afar, Hai Rui nodded slightly at Cheng Zhong as a sign of encouragement.
Cheng Zhong also smiled, the master and apprentice, tacit understanding.
Of course, this scene has not been hidden from Lu Duoxun, who has been paying attention to Cheng Zhong and Hai Rui.
"For the small monthly exam, I moved Hai out to support myself, what a big battle." Lu Duoxun said a little sourly. He didn't understand why Hai Rui fell in love with Cheng Zhong, and turned a blind eye to himself, a famous talent, and didn't hear it, which made no sense.
"Do you still need a mentor to support you?" Cheng Zhong snorted coldly: "You can't help but think too highly of yourself, right?" The toad jumps on the foot and doesn't bite, it's really disgusting! A bed bug, I just thought I really had a few pounds and a few taels! ”
"Cheng Zhong!" Lu Duoxun suddenly turned around and glared at Cheng Zhong angrily, his eyes almost spewing fire.
But Cheng Zhong smiled and nodded everywhere, but at the same time, his mouth did not stop for half a moment.
"What? Am I not right? What are you staring at with a pair of dead fish eyes? Do you have the ability to bite me? The more Cheng Zhong talked, the happier he became, and people who didn't know thought he and Lu Duoxun were good friends!
The huge contrast between the two immediately attracted the attention of onlookers.
"What's the matter with this Ludoxun?" Wang Wenchang said angrily. On such an occasion, Lu Duoxun's actions were so disqualified, which really shocked and angered him. In the past, although Lu Duoxun was arrogant, he would not have made such a rude move.
"Lord Wang doesn't need to be angry, Lu Sheng is probably inseparable from the apprentice if he is so out of shape, this Cheng Zhong is really uncomfortable. Hehe. Hai Rui said, although there was blame in his words, but there was also a bit of praise, it was obvious that Cheng Zhong and Lu Duoxun had the upper hand in the second round of battle. Of course, such fights are all battles of words, and they are nothing.
"Miss, look, Master Lu seems to be angry." It was Xiao Cui who spoke, and of course Xie Sicun was beside her. At this time, they were standing on a tall building in the southeast of the county school, watching every move at the monthly examination site.
Lu Gongzi, don't fall for that surnamed Cheng! Xie Sicun was secretly anxious.
As if hearing Xie Sicun's words, Lu Duoxun calmed down, smiled slightly and said, "What? Want to me off? It's not that simple, wait a little and you'll look good! ”
