The spring rain is continuous, and it is the time to read and study.

In the attic, Wei Chen finished writing a current article, and after reading it throughout, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

In the past month, he has not diminished his hard work, but his articles have not made any progress, and this kind of problem can no longer be solved by diligent study and hard study.

However, the daily classes that have been insisted on for half a year are also very effective, and Wei Chen's temperament is now more and more calm and introverted, even if he encounters a bottleneck in his studies, he is not panicked.

After drinking the hot porridge sent by Wei Ruyi, feeling warm all over, Wei Chen got up and took his umbrella and went to Sheng Changfeng's house.

Sheng Changfeng was immersed in writing an article, Wei Chen didn't bother, picked up the article he had written and looked at it, and nodded unconsciously after a while.

"Changfeng, your article is already good, but remember to put it away in moderation, don't blindly follow your temperament, if you can stop your excitement when you write, then it's a good article."

"yes, got it." Sheng Changfeng listened carefully and nodded vigorously.

Sheng Changfeng was born with a better temperament than his second brother Sheng Changbai, this character will naturally be reflected in the article, although now there are Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai to guide, but if you want to correct it, it is not an overnight thing.

Therefore, Wei Chen only pointed out a general direction to Sheng Changfeng and asked him to work hard in this direction, and did not expect him to have immediate changes.

Wei Chen took the pen and changed the article to Sheng Changfeng line by line: "Compare yourself, if there is anything you don't understand, I will come back with your second brother and ask us in the evening." ”

Sheng Changfeng knew that today was the day to register for the annual exam, and Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai were going to take a boat to Jiangning, so when they heard this, they just nodded and didn't ask more.

Wei Chen went out, called Sheng Changbai next door, and the two of them went to the wharf outside the county with an umbrella, rented a passenger boat, and finally arrived in Jiangning City before noon.

When I came to Fuxue and entered Minglun Hall, there were already many people gathered in it, and there were many faces that Wei Chen had never seen before, they should be the same as Wei Chen, the students who had been absent from school all the year round, but this time they all came back.

For students, it doesn't matter if they usually attend the monthly class, they can participate in it or not, but the annual exam is a must.

"Haha, Xingyun, Zecheng, you're back too!" Wang Yaochen, Weng Dingfan, and Tang Henian came together, and arched their hands towards Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai with a smile.

Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai responded with smiles.

Several of them entered the school together last year, and they haven't seen each other for about half a year, and when they meet each other again, not only are they not unfamiliar with each other, but they have a feeling of reunion with old friends, which is very cordial.

After a few people recounted the old days, they each went to the mansion to learn the old teachings of Lu Lao to register.

After getting the registration paperwork for the annual examination, Wei Chen did not rush back home, but went outside Jiangning City to meet his teacher Zhuang Jun.

Sheng Changbai already admired Zhuang Jun very much, but now after the old lady's explanation, all the worries in his heart disappeared, and he naturally went with him.

The two carried the gifts to the lakeside courtyard, and after seeing Zhuang Jun, Zhuang Jun first asked Wei Chen what he had seen in Yangzhou, and Wei Chen answered truthfully.

When Zhuang Jun heard that Wei Chen was in the limelight at the poetry meeting, not only did he not have any joy on his face, but he was also a little serious.

It wasn't until Wei Chen's scripture was examined and it was confirmed that Wei Chen had not left the scriptures and articles due to poetry during this period of time, that the old gentleman's face softened.

After checking his disciple's homework, Zhuang Jun turned his gaze to Sheng Changbai beside Wei Chen.

Sheng Changbai hurriedly stepped forward and took out a letter, which was written by the old lady, and the old lady specially instructed him to hand it over to Zhuang Jun himself.

As for the content of this letter, it is natural that the old lady asked Zhuang Jun to go to the Sheng family to open a family school and teach the children of the Sheng family.

After reading the letter, Zhuang Jun was speechless for a long time, looking at the hill in the distance, his eyes gradually empty, as if he was recalling something.

Sheng Changbai waited respectfully on the side, but he was actually quite nervous.

Although the old lady and Sheng Changbai talked about the relationship between their great-grandfather and Zhuang Jun, this is the famous Mr. Qingteng after all, he has lived in seclusion for many years, and he has long been out of the world, will he promise to go to the Sheng family to be a small tutor because of a letter from the old lady?

Thinking of this, Sheng Changbai couldn't help but look at Wei Chen on the side, hoping that Wei Chen could help with a few kind words.

Wei Chen already knew the final result, so he didn't speak, just smiled and signaled Sheng Changbai to be calm.

After a long time, Zhuang Jun slowly spoke: "How is your grandmother lately?" ”

Sheng Changbai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Mr. Lao is worried, grandmother is fine." ”

"Okay?" Zhuang Jun's eyes were lowered, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "The old man has also seen your father before, and he is indeed a good filial son." ”

Sheng Changbai heard Zhuang Jun's sarcasm about Sheng Hong, and immediately became furious, and had the intention to fulfill his obligations as a son of man and stand up to reprimand the other party, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't spit out a word.

Over the years, Sheng Hong's treatment of the old lady, the Sheng family knows best, Sheng Changbai himself is also deeply ashamed, and he really has no face to refute Zhuang Jun.

Zhuang Jun looked at Sheng Changbai, whose face was blue and purple for a while, and suddenly laughed: "You are very good, no wonder your grandmother is full of praise for you, and the little apprentice of the old man is also willing to lead you to the old man." ”

Feeling Zhuang Jun's gaze sweeping over his head, Wei Chen hurriedly echoed with a smile: "The teacher's eyes are like torches, and Brother Cheng's character is much stronger than that of the disciple." ”

This was originally Wei Chen's praise of Sheng Changbai's sentence, but after Zhuang Jun heard it, he nodded with a smile, as if he acquiesced to Wei Chen's statement, Sheng Changbai is indeed stronger than Wei Chen in terms of character.

Wei Chen was speechless for a moment.

Teacher, you're too faceless, aren't you?

Zhuang Jun didn't care about the disciple's small emotions, turned his head to look at Sheng Changbai, and said in a deep voice: "Your grandmother is the only daughter of Yongyi Hou, who values honor and dignity the most in her life, and rarely asks people to do things. ”

When Zhuang Jun mentioned Sheng Changbai's father Sheng Hong before, his tone was quite sour, and Sheng Changbai inevitably had some small bumps in his heart.

But after listening to Fang Cai's words, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and said: "Grandmother has the grace of reinvention in my Sheng family, and Sheng Changbai will repay it for life." ”

"With your words, it is not in vain that your grandmother has worked hard." Zhuang Jun nodded with satisfaction.

"When the Sheng family asked the teacher to open a school, did the teacher agree or not?" Wei Chen reminded.

Zhuang Jun glared at Wei Chen angrily, then looked at Sheng Changbai, and said: "The old man should take this matter, but it is not easy to open a family school, the old man is old and weak, and his energy is low, so he needs someone to help." ”

Sheng Changbai hurriedly said: "Sir, don't worry, as long as Mr. is willing to come, the student union will invite my father, and hire a teaching assistant in Beijing, and Mr. will not be affected." ”

Zhuang Jun waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome, this teaching assistant, the old man already has someone he wants." ”

After saying that, Zhuang Jun turned his head to look at Wei Chen on the side, his eyes narrowed, and Sheng Changbai also looked at him expectantly.

"That's what you've arranged......"

Wei Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth helplessly, but he didn't have any objection to this, and immediately bowed down and said, "The master has something to do, and the disciple obeys it." The teacher is going to Bianjing, the mountains are high and the road is far away, how can he sit idly by and watch as a disciple? Please be sure to bring your disciples with you, so that you can serve the left and right. ”

"Good."
