In this world, there are prodigies. Some people can write good poems at the age of five or six; some people can memorize the entire scriptures and texts at the age of five or six; and some people, at the age of ten or eight, are talented......

But on Chen Tang, he has never been associated with the word "prodigy".

How can a person who has even taken the children's exam three times before being admitted can be called a "prodigy"?

Chen Tang entered the academy for a short time, only a few days, and this was the first time he entered the academy as a student.

Therefore, in the eyes of Wang Fuzi and others, Chen Tang is almost linked to poor students, and he does not have much sense of presence in the classroom. Except for a good pair of skins, nothing else is performed.

But in today's class, in the face of questions, Chen Tang spoke eloquently and became a blockbuster. If he knew the entire scripture of "Xunzi's Three Treatises" well, it is estimated that he would be able to become a lecturer in the academy.

After listening to Chen Tang's answer, Master Wang stroked his beard with satisfaction and praised: "Good." ”

The meaning of praise is beyond words, and you must know that among so many masters, it is extremely difficult to obtain his praise.

Chen Tang sat down, his face was indifferent, and he felt that he didn't behave very well, it was very ordinary.

He spent a lot of money to study in the college, and his goal was to take the exam, which he must pass. If you don't even perform well in class, what kind of exams are you talking about?

Although Chen Tang was thinking about other things just now, he deserted, but for him, there was no problem with two things.

Seeing this, Master Wang felt even more appreciative, and secretly said in his heart: This son is not shocked, but has a bit of temperament......

There are many students in the academy, but it is not easy to make a good impression in the minds of the master. Most of them are those with excellent qualifications, so they have this kind of treatment.

In a word, students with good grades will always be favored by teachers.

Xiucai has a small test every year, and the results are too bad, and they may be deprived of their fame. Chen Tang took the Xiucai exam last year, and he once took a small test, but his results could only be regarded as average, without any outstanding features. At that time, I was so poor that I couldn't even enter the college, and except for a slight advantage in age, it was really unremarkable in other aspects.

In today's lesson, Chen Tang's performance can definitely be regarded as a "sudden rise".

After class, many classmates took the initiative to come over to greet each other, with a very enthusiastic look on their faces. Looking back on that day, it was Chen Tang who took the initiative to find them, and most of the responses he got were lukewarm, compared to it, it was really different.

This is true of human affection.

Chen Tang has insight into people's hearts, and there is nothing to blame. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of circles, if you don't have the corresponding ability, you can't enter other people's circles. Being excluded does not mean that you are looked down upon, but that you are not qualified enough.

Tao Hao came over and sighed: "No, you have to hide it from your brother." It turns out that you have the ability to never forget, and the day you come out is just around the corner. ”

On the road to the imperial examination, the most important thing is memory, and this talented student is not a big problem if he is admitted to a person.

Tao Hao looked envious, he just had a bad memory, and as he grew older, he declined. This is the root cause of many old students' getting worse and worse in the exams, and age is often an advantage.

Chen Tang is expected to be moved, and Tao Hao, who borrowed notes, naturally wants to come closely. If you wait for the middle of the year to come back, the favor will be different.

"Hehe, Brother Ming Jing, thank you very much for borrowing your notes. ”

The two of them exchanged politeness, left the academy separately, and went home for dinner.

Chen Tang wanted to invite Tao Hao to a meal, but he gave Zhan Yangchun a hundred yuan last night, and he was shy at the moment, so he put it aside for the time being, and when there was a new entry, he would invite him to Sihailou.

Tao Hao was very enthusiastic about inviting him to dinner, but Chen Tang declined. After reading other people's notes, although it is a clear transaction, the favor of the reader is never calculated like that. If you eat Tao Hao's rice again, it will be even more difficult to say.

By the time we passed through Hanmo Street, the officials had been withdrawn, and it seemed that nothing had happened in the quiet environment, elegant and simple.

However, the news of the deaths of Wu Han and Zhu Xiucai had already spread, and the whole street seemed even more depressed and deserted, some shops had closed their doors, and there were no stalls on the street.

It is not easy to provide for a family, but life is more important.

At noon, the scorching sun was shining, and under the illumination of the light, it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves of the old locust trees, and the projection on the ground was dense, and the light spots were swaying. I used to think that the environment here was quite good, but today I have something on my mind, but I feel gloomy.

"Could it be that an old locust tree has become a fine ......"

Chen Tang secretly said in his heart, looking left and right, looking at the trunk of this tree, which is a little twisted, worthy of suspicion, and looking at the dense canopy of that tree, it is quite suspicious......

I was suspicious all the way back to the front of the house, and I saw this one next to my house even more suspicious, because there was a tree hole halfway down the huge trunk, and from below, it looked dark and gloomy, and I didn't know what was alive inside.

"Brother Bujin, what do you see?"

Su Ling's crisp voice came, she estimated the time, but she never saw Chen Tang go home, so she couldn't help but go out to see, and saw Chen Tang standing under the tree, holding his head high, like a goose, I don't know how long I watched here.

Chen Tang laughed dryly and pointed to the hole in the tree: "I think, will there be a bird's nest there." ”

Su Ling immediately said: "Then I'll climb up and take a look, I can climb the tree neatly, I have taken out a lot of bird eggs, boiled them and eaten." ”

This bird's egg, Chen Tang had also eaten it at that time, it was all given by the girl, he saw Su Ling roll up his sleeves, and was about to go up the tree, so he hurriedly grabbed it: "Ah Ling, how many times have I told you." We're in the city, and it's not the same as before. ”

was held by the hand, Su Ling's heart was pounding, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "If Brother Wu doesn't let me climb the tree, I won't climb." ”

Chen Tang said: "It's not that I don't allow you to climb the tree, but in the hole of the tree, there may be a bird's nest or a snake's nest, which is very dangerous." ”

Seeing him tighten himself, Su Ling was even happier in his heart.

The two of them were about to enter the house, when they saw a few people coming from the other side of the street, and the leader was Zhao Sanye, and walking next to him was not Zhan Yangchun, who had just separated last night?

"Chen Xiucai, this way is bothering again. ”

From afar, Zhan Yangchun shouted.

Zhao Sanye strode over and said loudly: "Chen Xiucai, I haven't seen you for many days, and you are becoming more and more energetic." ”

Chen Tang smiled: "You are here at this time, are you here to invite me to dinner?"

"Not bad. ”

Zhao Sanye said simply, and the two men behind him raised their hands, one holding two large pieces of good meat, and the other holding a jar of wine and two bundles of vegetables and vegetables:

"We come uninvited, bring our own food and drinks, and we will have to trouble your sister. ”

Chen Tang was also not polite, and asked Su Ling to take the things back, take them back to the kitchen, wash the rice again, and start cooking.

Everyone sat down in the hall, and Chen Tang got straight to the point and asked directly: "Third master, Dao Chief, are you here for the murder?"
