Jiang Yun raised his head when he heard the sound and saw a large group of people around him, and when he understood the meaning of these people, he calmly admitted: "Do you want to ask who wrote the poem 'The End of the Day', it is indeed not written by me, but by a friend." ”

"And what's your friend's name?" asked someone eagerly.

Jiang Yun remembered the verbal agreement with Yan Zheng at the beginning, and said casually: "It's Yan Zheng, a student of the East Pavilion." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't expect that the rumor to be true, the song "The Sun Ends in the Mountains" was really made by Yan Zheng, most of them didn't believe it before, but now that they have admitted it personally, it seems to be beyond doubt.

"Is it really that Yan Zheng, although he is a student of the East Pavilion, he has always been talented, and he is not a talented person. Some people were not convinced and couldn't help but question.

"That's right, if he did it strictly, why didn't he say it on the spot, but instead pretended to be Brother Jiang, I wonder if Brother Jiang has a reasonable explanation for this?" someone asked.

Jiang Yun spread his hands, with a gesture of no comment.

"In my opinion, there is only one explanation, and it is a prank that Yan Zheng is playing a pig and eating a tiger. ”

"Maybe it's because the senior of Yan Zheng is obscure, and he doesn't want to be famous, and he is the style of a real celebrity. ”

Everyone discussed here for a while, and when the students of the West Pavilion arrived one after another, soon everyone knew the news, and it turned out that the song "The sun is in the mountains" was from the hand of Yan Zheng of the East Pavilion.

Although some people still have doubts about this, but think about it, it is much more reliable to come from the hand of Yan Zheng than from the hand of the East Wind Blowing Brother, and besides, it was said by the other party himself, what is the doubt.

This discussion lasted for a while, and then gradually subsided, and everyone continued to hurry up and bury their heads in the book, after all, the quarterly exam related to everyone's future was about to start.

Only Lu Wenpeng, Li Yuanchun, Min Wei and a few other talented people who were sitting in the front row were still talking softly about this matter, after all, there was no pressure on them in this quarterly exam, so they didn't have to pay too much attention to it.

"I didn't expect that the song 'The Day Ends in the Mountains' was really made by that Yan Zheng, and some of the previous rumors were true. "I participated in the poetry meeting of Qingfeng Building, and Min Wei, who was the first to compose a poem, muttered.

"It's really disgusting to think about that Yan Zheng, isn't this deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger to trick people. "Someone was angry.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, if you have this time, let's hurry up and read the book more, and then we will have a better grasp. Li Yuanchun said.

Min Wei smiled and said: "Yuan Chun, are you still afraid that you will fall out of the top ten in this quarterly exam, let alone the top ten, you are stable even if you enter the top three." ”

Li Yuanchun said: "You can't say that, there is nothing inevitable about this scientific examination, we must tremble and take it seriously, if you are arrogant because of this, it is inevitable that there will be times when the horse stumbles." ”

Min Wei said: "Yuan Chun's words are reasonable, but what about it, the scientific examination is a scientific examination, this time it is just the quarterly examination of the academy, don't take it too seriously, I wait for four or five sons, and it is not ten to get nine out of ten to enter the top ten, just with these people, there are also people who can pull us off the horse?"

He glanced at the group of students who were buried in the book behind him, revealing a look of disapproval, he was recognized as a leader in the academy, and he had a good ranking in the previous few monthly exams and quarterly exams, and he was often in the top three, so he also had his capital to say this.

Those of them who sit in the front row and have already registered in front of the professors of the academy do not need to worry about the top ten, as long as their examination and literature can be made to a normal level, it is natural for them to be selected in the top ten.

Except for these talented students who sat in the front row, the rest of the students were not so easy, and they had to compete for the remaining four or five, five or six places.

Of course, the students who are bent on competing for the top ten are only those who are in the middle and upper reaches, and some students who are in the lower reaches, and the goal of this quarterly examination is only to strive for a higher ranking, as for entering the top ten, it is just a luxury.

For example, Zhu Ming, who is often ranked at the bottom of previous exams, Zhong Dayong is like this. It is said that the instructor of the academy has talked to them, and they are very dissatisfied with their current academic performance, if their performance in this quarterly exam is as bad as ever, it is very likely that they will be swept out of the house and driven out of the academy.

Compared with Zhong Dayong, Zhu Ming is even more flustered at the moment, Zhong Dayong has suddenly had an epiphany recently, and he has made great progress in his studies, which makes him envious, but it is useless to envy him, Zhong Dayong is enlightened and motivated, and he can't help him, sometimes he hopes that this Zhong Dayong is still not as good as an epiphany, he is alone at the end of the list, and it is good to have a companion.

"Dayong, you must help your brother this time, this time in the quarterly exam, my brother will count on you!" At this moment, Zhu Ming was biting his ears with Zhong Dayong, begging bitterly, knowing that after Zhong Dayong grew up in his studies, he pressed his hope on the other party.

In the face of the pleas of the dead party, Zhong Dayong is bitter and self-aware, he really thinks he is the best in learning, it is true that he Zhong Dayong has made great progress in his studies recently, but he has this self-knowledge and can't help the other party.

The time for the exam is so long, only one day, and it adds up to five hours, within these five hours, he thinks that he has completed the paste, Moyi, test poems, questions, and an essay, the time can be said to be stretched, and if he wants to help Zhu Ming catch the knife and make another essay, he thinks that he will never be able to complete it.

There may be some talented people who are quick to think and can make two passable essays in this short period of time, but he has this self-knowledge, and he Zhong Dayong is not such a talent at the moment.

Faced with the bitter pleading of the dead party, he had to refuse ruthlessly, and said: "Brother Ming, you also know my old bottom, although I have made great progress in my studies recently, but to help you make another piece of literary endowment, it is too difficult for a strong person, even if it is barely written, it is not eye-catching, and it is not as good as your own work." ”

Zhu Ming knew that the other party was telling the truth, but his face was still inevitably frustrated.

Zhong Dayong wanted to comfort his dead friend, his eyes swept away, and when he saw Jiang Yun who was reading from his book on the side, he had an idea, and he snorted at him, and said in a low voice: "Da Ming, if you beg me, you might as well beg that nerd." ”

When Zhu Ming heard this, he said angrily: "What kind of bad idea are you, go and beg that nerd? ”

Zhong Dayong said: "How is it impossible, in this quarterly examination, he Jiang Yun has no possibility of being admitted to the top ten at all, and he will not be swept away by the academy if he is too bad in the exam, it can be said that this quarterly examination is no pressure for him." ”

Zhu Ming said: "That's true, but why does he want to help me, don't you know that the pedantic stubbornness of that nerd is simply a stone in a dung pit, smelly and hard." ”

Zhong Dayong said: "You forgot, you still have an IOU of fifty taels of silver that he owes, if you take out this IOU to lure him, how can he not take the bait." ”

When Zhu Ming heard this, he felt that it was a bit of a way, but he quickly felt heartache again, and said: "What, you want me to use this IOU to lure him? Isn't this price too high, this is fifty taels of silver, enough to buy five acres of high-grade fertile land." As he spoke, he shook his head again and again, looking like a pain in his flesh.

Zhong Dayong said: "Is it your future, whether it matters if you continue to stay in the academy, or whether it matters with these fifty taels of silver, you should think about it yourself." ”

Zhu Ming sat there, thinking about what was at stake. If he fails the exam this time and is really swept away by the academy, he can imagine his angry expression, a good fight is inevitable, and in this way, everyone knows that he was kicked out of the academy, and his reputation in the countryside is also stinky, how will he mix it up in the future.

After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, but he secretly made up his mind that after this pass, he must be overwhelmed, and he must study hard, and try to become enlightened as soon as possible like Zhong Dayong and make progress in his studies. But he didn't even realize it, and he didn't know how many times he had sworn like this.

After making up his mind, he got up and went to Jiang Yun next to him to talk about Xiang, and Zhong Dayong continued to seize the remaining time, stepped up the study of the book, and sharpened the gun in battle.

It didn't take long to see Zhu Ming walking back with an embarrassed face, looking at the other party's face like a bitter melon, he asked in surprise, "What, that nerd refused?"

Zhu Ming nodded with a sad face, and said, "The refusal is very thorough, and there is no need to talk about it at all." ”

When Zhong Dayong heard this, he couldn't help but scold in a low voice, and said, "This damn nerd, why is he so brainless, pedantic and stubborn." Yes, did you tempt him with that IOU?"

Zhu Ming said: "I used it, but he said that he was not bad for silver." ”

Zhong Dayong said: "Yes, didn't he earn fifty or sixty taels of silver in Qingfeng Building a few days ago, with that song 'The Day is in the Mountains', no wonder he is so arrogant." ”

Zhu Ming said puzzledly: "But is there a rumor, wasn't that poem written by him, just now he said it himself, it was written by the Yan Zheng of the East Pavilion, since this is the case, presumably this silver must also be returned to the Yan Zheng, how can there be a reason for his own private collection." ”

Zhong Dayong said: "This is really puzzling, is there any other mystery in this?" ”

Zhu Ming said with a bitter face: "Forget it, don't care about it, it's better to hurry up and hurry up and warm up more books." ”

He sat back in his seat, and before he turned a few pages, he saw a group of people walking in from the door of the main hall, and when he saw this group of people coming in, the buzzing sound of silent reading in the hall suddenly quieted down a lot, and the people who walked into the main hall were Jia Mengchen, Yuan Lun, the one who walked in the front, with wide robes and big sleeves, fluttering silver beards, and extraordinary bearing, but he was the head of the academy, Song Ximing, and he was famous.

The students were surprised, but they didn't expect that even the mountain chief would personally go out for the quarterly examination of the West Pavilion, which shows that the academy attaches great importance to this exam, and they are even more worried at the moment.
