Out of the library pavilion, Wei Chen found that it was drizzling outside, and he hurriedly covered the books in his arms under his robes and returned to the house in the rain.

Due to the "expansion" and "class division" of Yixue, Weichen has now moved to the upper dormitory, and he has also changed a group of roommates.

Among these people, only Chen Jun was originally a student of Yixue, and the other five were all newcomers.

They are not all poor students, but they heard that Lin Yan came to teach at the Sheng Clan Yixue and came from all over Jiangning Mansion to study.

Wei Chen also met these new classmates during the daytime class, and they have not yet passed their names, so they are not very familiar with each other.

Seeing Wei Chen return to the number house, Chen Jun led everyone forward, Wei Chen put down the book in his arms, stepped forward and greeted everyone with a smile: "In Xia Jingxi Weichen, I have seen all the gentlemen." ”

Before these people came to Yixue, they had heard of Wei Chen's name, and they didn't dare to be contemptuous at this time, and they also returned the salute: "Fortunately, I will be lucky." ”

"Under the Yuan Lu Light Boat."

"In the lower upper Yuan He Jinchao."

"In Xiajiang Ning Tao Dazhi."

"Xie Xuan in Xiajiangpu."

"In the lower Gaochun Duja."

One after another, everyone passed the names, and under Chen Jun's introduction, Wei Chen also knew the origin and background of several new classmates.

Lu Qingzhou and He Jinchao are old acquaintances, and they are both from Hongle Academy in Shangyuan County, which is a famous local academy.

Before Lin Yan came to Sheng's Yixue, he was invited to give a lecture at Hongle Academy for half a month.

During this period, Lu Qingzhou and He Jinchao were both impressed by Lin Yan's vast and extensive talents, and simply followed Lin Yan to study at Sheng's Yixue.

These two people are also the two people who are recognized as the best in Yixue today, they are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and they began to learn the art of making two years ago, and in terms of foundation alone, even Chen Jun is far inferior to them, let alone Wei Chen.

Tao Dazhi is a native of the provincial capital, and he is a son of a businessman, and his father opened a bathhouse by the city gate, and his business is very prosperous.

Tao's father had some business dealings with Sheng Wei, and when he heard that Sheng Weiyi was doing well, he sent his son over to him.

As for Xie Xuan and Du Jia, they are both poor children from neighboring counties, and they come to Sheng's Yixue simply because there is no tuition here, and room and board are all included.

In fact, most of the more than 100 students of Yixue are like Xie Xuan and Du Jia, and Lu Qingzhou, He Jinchao, and Tao Dazhi are a minority.

After several people saluted each other, they all retreated and returned to their places to rest, and Wei Chen also picked up the Wenfu that he had taken back from the library and looked at it.

He Jinchao had already heard of Wei Chen's prodigy, and was very curious about Wei Chen, and when he saw Wei Chen reading there, he immediately shook his head and walked to Wei Chen's side, pretending to be looking for something, and poked his head from time to time to glance at the book in Wei Chen's hand.

Wei Chen was engrossed in reading the book and did not notice his movements. Of course, even if he finds out, he won't say anything. I'm not reading any forbidden books, there's something to hide.

He Jinchao probed his brain for a while, with a sneer on his face, returned to Lu Qingzhou, who had a close relationship, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lu, what do you guess that prodigy is looking at?" ”

Lu Qingzhou was doing the homework assigned by Lin Yan during the day, glanced at He Jinchao and said, "Don't sell it, let's talk about it." ”

He Jinchao said with a smile: "That prodigy is reading "Four Books with Big Topics and Small Titles"! ”

"What? Anyone still reads this book? ”

Lu Qingzhou was also interested when he heard this, and put down his pen and glanced in the direction of Wei Chen.

He and He Jinchao's beds were far away from Wei Chen, and they couldn't really see what Wei Chen was reading for a while, but since He Jinchao said that Wei Chen was reading Wenfu, it shouldn't be wrong.

Lu Qingzhou was surprised and said: "This Wenfu is a book with dozens of volumes, and the lecturer of the academy also asked me to read it, and I lost it after reading a few articles, which is really big." These kinds of books are only those old children who will work hard to study, hoping that the blind cat will meet the dead mouse. ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

He Jinchao said with a smile: "When I was in school tonight, I kept staring at that Wei Chen, and in the past hour, he didn't even write a single problem, so he dared to call himself a prodigy?" Now it looks like Wenfu, it's really stupid! ”

Lu Qingzhou frowned and said: "Anyway, this Weichen is a talent valued by the University of Academic Affairs, and he shouldn't be so stupid." ”

He Jinchao laughed: "The vision of Lord Xuezheng will not be wrong, but Brother Lu, you have forgotten, Lord Xuezheng appreciates this person's poetic talent!"

This person may have some talent, but so what, the imperial examination does not test poetry! He doesn't know anything about Shiwen, and he may not even be able to pass the county test in the future! ”

Lu Qingzhou and He Jinchao came to Youyang from Hongle Academy in Shangyuan, in addition to really admiring Lin Yan, the Master, they also had the meaning of preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than a phoenix.

Shangyuan County, like Jiangning County, is part of the provincial capital, while Youyang is much more remote.

When they arrived at Sheng's Yixue, they naturally had a sense of superiority that people from the city went to the countryside, and they didn't think much of most of the students of Sheng's Yixue.

However, among these people, there was a prodigy who was praised by the academic and political adults, and pressed on the heads of the two, Lu Qingzhou and He Jinchao were naturally not convinced, and as soon as they arrived at Yixue, they paid special attention to Wei Chen, wanting to try the quality of this prodigy.

At this time, Wei Chen was suspected of being unworthy of his name, and while Lu Qingzhou and He Jinchao breathed a sigh of relief, they also became more and more disdainful of Wei Chen's name as a "prodigy".

Lu Qingzhou's city was quite deep, and when he heard He Jinchao's words, although he agreed with it in his heart, he did not write his hostility towards Wei Chen on his face like He Jinchao.

He said slowly: "Brother He said cautiously, since everyone is a classmate, we should study together, why bother talking behind our backs?" Whether this Weichen has real talent and real learning, when it comes to the next monthly class, he will know. ”

He Jinchao shook his head with a smile, stared at Lu Qingzhou and said, "Brother Lu still says me? You can't wait to beat Weichen in the monthly class rankings, right? ”

Lu Qingzhou did not answer, but buried himself in his homework and continued to do his homework.

He Jinchao wanted to ask again, but he heard a loud shout from the side.

"It's noisy! Still don't let people sleep? ”

He Jinchao and Lu Qingzhou looked at each other when they heard this, and saw that it was Tao Dazhi who was in the bed next door, glaring angrily at him.

He Jinchao wanted to step forward to argue a few words, but was held down by Lu Qingzhou, and Lu Qingzhou said in a low voice: "You and I are both scholars, why bother with this son of a businessman who is as fat as a pig?" ”

He Jinchao thought about it for a while, shook his clothes at the moment, glared at Tao Dazhi fiercely, and then returned to his bed proudly.

He pulled out a wooden basin from under the bed, went out to the back kitchen to get hot water, and prepared to burn his feet before going to bed.

When He Jinchao walked into the house with a basin full of hot water, he heard Tao Dazhi's cold voice coming: "Fellow students, it's not too early, I'm turning off the lights." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a blowing, and the house suddenly fell into darkness.

"Hey, wait, I'm still ......"

He Jinchao unconsciously took half a step forward in a panic, and just happened to bump into a large pile of debris that I don't know who piled up, and immediately fell with a basin and turned over on his back.

With a bang, the boiling hot water splashed He Jinchao's body, and several large blisters burned on his bare hands on the spot.

He Jinchao covered his hands and grinned in pain, and the anger in his eyes was about to erupt.

"Tao Dazhi!"
