"Those who know it, do it. ”

Seeing the question on the plaque, the students couldn't help but puff out their eyes: this is a puzzle!

These two sentences, one is from "Xunzi", and the other is from "Yanzi's Three Treatises".

In previous years, the questions that came out of the township literary meeting were basically decent, and there was no high level of difficulty. It's good this year, just kill a puzzle.

Needless to say, the title must have been written by the two masters who were judges, and one of them came out with a strong college style. When I was studying at the college, the lecturers liked to come up with such questions and let the students do the questions.

The problem is that less than one-third of the students in the Sixteen Townships can go to the college to be a student. Or they have been to classes, but they have only taken a few classes, or more than ten classes, which are not coherent and systematic, and there are many loopholes in the knowledge surface.

This is an obvious thing, students who are confident to do a good job in spelling problems are basically confident to take the exam.

Wang Fu held a pen and looked at the white paper spread out on the table, staring at it for a long time, and finally deflated. Put the pen and ink away, roll up the paper - the amount of new paper and ink is more than in the morning, and it is another welfare subsidy in the account.

Wang Xing next to him scratched his ears and cheeks, frowned, and looked unwilling to give up.

His family background is much more solid than Wang Fu's, so he still wants to give it a go, write something on the paper and hand it in, maybe the blind cat meets the dead mouse and is favored by the master......

Wang Fu shook his head, and said that young people are young people, naïve.

He turned his head to look at Chen Tang on the other side, and saw that he was writing hard, brushing and writing.

In Wang Fu's heart, he had already accepted the fact that Chen Tang had transformed, and it was no longer Wuxia Ameng. Since I don't have a chance, of course I hope that this opportunity will fall on someone I know well.

Rusi thought, bored to sit down, simply lie on the table and fall asleep.

Looking around, Wang Fu is not the only one who sleeps. Some even snored.

The Jingyi assessment in the afternoon will take a lot longer, a full hour and a half.

When the sun began to set in the west, the man in the red scarf came to the square, sounded the gong, signaled that the time was up, and reeled.

The review also started immediately, with a total of more than 30 articles, which is not a small number, but most of them are of a worrying level, and many articles are even just the beginning, and the back is gone. So he glanced at it and threw it aside.

After a while, the two masters eliminated more than ten articles.

After about a quarter of an hour, the ten articles that could win the award were selected, and the next step was to arrange the rankings, and there was no difficult controversy.

The results were soon announced, and the leader: Chen Tang, got a reward of 1,000.

After a while, the framed paintings, as well as the award-winning scriptures, were all displayed for all the students to enjoy.

Many students suddenly came up to watch, they had a stomach full of doubts, and they wanted to pick a thorn, but after reading it, they were silent and speechless.

As the saying goes: if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Chen Tang's paintings and articles are really outstanding, and people can't find faults.

After reading it, many students have already gathered around Chen Tang, led by him, and faintly formed a circle.

The literati are not fake, and there are indeed unconvinced people in the field, but there is no hatred between each other, and they will not jump out from time to time to pull some hateful passers-by, so that Chen Tang can slap his face.

This is the end of the township literary meeting, but there is still a sumptuous dinner reception later, which gives comfort to many talents who have not been rewarded, and let go of their belly to eat.

According to the usual practice, the top three in the Jingyi competition are eligible to sit at the table of the squire and have a good time with the old men, and the works that are rewarded are collected by the proprietor of the year, which is regarded as a form of compensation. After all, the locality, labor, food, etc., each host village has to spend a lot of extra money.

After dinner, while it was still dark, everyone said goodbye and went home.

"Chen Xiucai, please stay. ”

Chen Tang was about to go back in an oxcart with Uncle Wang Fu's nephew, when he heard the call of Master Hu behind him.

Chen Tang's heart moved, greeted him, and asked, "I don't know what Master Hu commands?"

Master Hu sighed: "I came to apologize to you." ”

Chen Tang asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Master Hu said: "Xi'er is stubborn, in the classroom before, he made a lot of difficulties for Mr., and the old man was so unhappy that he didn't want to go." Hey......"

When he said "Xi'er", he didn't like it.

In Chen Tang's mind, a girl who was extremely bechieving in both face and figure immediately appeared, and said busily: "Master Hu doesn't have to blame himself, it's because I have no way to teach and didn't do my duty as a teacher." ”

Master Hu waved his hand and said: "I know my Xi'er's temperament very well, so don't say it." Thank you Chen Xiucai for being broad-minded and not bothering with her. Well, if I have free time in the future, I will invite Chen Xiucai to come to the village as a guest. ”

Chen Tang was stunned when he heard this, and thought that this Master Hu was here to invite him to go now, but it didn't seem to be the case at all.

The so-called "future guest" is mostly a kind of polite remark to end the topic. He didn't say much, arched his hand, got on the ox cart, and returned to Chenjia Village.

Old Man Hu watched the ox cart go away, and suddenly beckoned, and immediately a man with a red scar came over.

"Ah San, you send those calligraphy and painting articles to Miss immediately. ”

"Yes. ”

After listening to the order, the man in the red scarf quickly turned around and went to do it.

......

Chen Tang won the head of the Township Literary Association, which has never happened in Chenjia Village, although it is only a reward and reputation of a non-governmental organization, but it is extremely rare and gratifying. The village chief of Chenjia Village, who attended the meeting, came back drunk and excited, saying that Chen Tang gave him and Chenjia Village a big face, which was gratifying.

The next day, the village chief ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, held a feast in the village, and invited the whole village to eat.

Chen Tang knew that the village chief wanted to do favors to himself, but he didn't shirk it. He got more than 1,000 lottery prizes, so he sealed 300 yuan, sent it to the teacher Chen Song's house, handed it to his wife, and asked her to subsidize the family.

Before the teacher's funeral, Chen Tang was embarrassed at that time, and only sealed the silk gold of 11 yuan, but now that he is rich, he will make up for it.

After entertaining and eating, Chen Tang packed his luggage, put on his back, said goodbye to the villagers, and prepared to return to Panzhou Mansion.

The weather is nice and sunny today.

Chen Tang didn't hire a car, just walked as exercise. Now his pace was more steady and lighter, and his speed had greatly improved, and he could enter the city in more than a quarter of an hour.

Gotta get it!

There was a rush of running sound on the road, and I heard someone shouting from behind: "Chen Xiucai, Chen Xiucai, please stay!"

Chen Tang looked back and saw Master Hu sitting on a donkey cart, constantly waving at him.
