Several people entered the room. Shen Li looked around the room. It was very tidy and clean, and it seemed that there were two people in one room. "Brother, who is your roommate?"

"It was Qiao Hou originally. Later, Wen Yi came. Qiao Hou knew we knew each other, so he took the initiative to give up the house and let him live there."

"So, you and Guan Wenyi are living in the same room now?"

"Ah."

That’s good, but Qiao Hou is quite good at pretending to be a good person.

"Ali, the poem is here, take a look."

Shen Li didn't understand poetry. She was a science and engineering girl and didn't have much literary talent. "Brother, let's read it together when the time comes."

Shen Xing curled her lips: "I think you don't understand. Why are you pretending to be the first to see it? It's simply unreasonable."

"It's none of your business. No matter what I am like, my big brother dotes on me. If you have any opinions, just keep them to yourself."

Shen Xing said angrily: "You are amazing."

"Okay, let's go to the poetry reading venue. It's about to begin." Shen Han said lovingly.

Guan Wenyi and Shen Han both took the poems they had written, and then took Shen Li and Shen Xing with them to the school.

This is the largest room here, and it has now been converted into the venue for today’s poetry reading.

After the four of them arrived, there were already a lot of people. Shen Li observed and saw that there were young people, parents, and even grandparents.

The venue is indeed large and spacious. There are three tables at the top, which should be for gentlemen.

The class below was just like a normal class, with many tables and a lot of fruits on them.

Shen Han took a few people and found their seats and sat down.

"Brother, brother, only your scholar class will participate in this poetry gathering, right?" Shen Li said in a low voice.

"Yes, the other classes are on holiday."

At this time, the people sitting in the front turned around.

Shen Li took a look and saw that they were the people he had met at the last temple fair, Wei Jing, Jiang Toyota, and another person, who he intuitively thought should be Qiao Hou.

"Sister Shen, you're here." Wei Jing greeted with a smile.

"Well, hello brothers." Shen Li greeted them all.

All three nodded.

"Brother, this is the good friend you mentioned, Brother Qiao?"

"Yes, this is Qiao Hou." Then Shen Han said to Qiao Hou: "This is my sister Shen Li, and my third brother Shen Xing."

Qiao Hou smiled stiffly: "Hello, brother and sister."

Shen Li smiled and nodded, looking at him without leaving a trace. He has an average appearance and looks a little dull, not the smart and clever type. He gives people the impression that he is honest and reliable?

This guy doesn't really look like someone who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Next to Qiao Hou was sitting an old woman who looked like his grandmother. From her weathered face, one could tell that she was a hard-working person. When she saw Shen Li looking at her, she smiled unnaturally.

Jiang Toyota was alone, and his family probably didn't come. Next to Wei Jing, there was a woman sitting. Judging from her age, she was around 20 years old and should be married. She nodded politely to Shen Li.

Afterwards, Shen Li looked elsewhere. It seemed that there were quite a few people, some of whom were not from home, and some of whom were brothers and sisters. There were very few people from the parents' and grandparents' generations.

After a while, three gentlemen came.

Among them, Shen Li looked very knowledgeable and prestigious. Some people just give people a feeling when they look at them, which is the so-called temperament.

Sure enough, the man spoke: "I am the dean of the academy. Thank you all for coming from afar and making our Hongru Academy shine. Today, you don't have to be formal. The purpose of holding the poetry gathering is to let all students relax a little so that they can prepare for the provincial examination soon. I hope everyone can enjoy themselves."

Then he and a gentleman on his left took a seat.

The remaining gentleman on the right said, "The poetry reading begins. Students, according to your seats, please take out the poems you wrote earlier."

The first person in the first row handed his poem to him, then the paper was unfolded and a poem was read out by him.

Then everyone began to taste it, some nodded, some pondered, and some showed disdain.

In this way, everyone handed their poems to the teacher, and then received comments, until it was Wei Jing's turn. As soon as his poem came out, the scene became lively and everyone thought it was good.

The three gentlemen also nodded in approval.

Then came Qiao Hou.

"On a fine day, I went to the Si River to look for flowers. The boundless scenery was new for a moment. I could easily recognize the face of the east wind. The myriad colors of spring always make me feel happy." (This poem is from Zhu Xi's "Spring Day")

As soon as his poem came out, it was met with applause.

Shen Li was always keeping an eye on him. She couldn't tell whether the poem was good or bad, but judging from everyone's reactions, it was good. Wasn't it written by him?

He has good literary talent, so why would he plagiarize his elder brother?

Shen Li frowned in confusion, unable to figure it out.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Toyota next to Qiao Hou. From the side and back, it seemed that his teeth were clenched, his lips were trembling, his upper body was stretched straight, and his ears were red as blood. What happened to him?

Just as everyone was nodding in praise, Jiang Toyota suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, I have something to say."

Shen Li could tell that his voice was restrained and angry.

The gentleman was a little unhappy about being interrupted, but at a poetry gathering, he could speak freely, so he said gently, "What do you want to say?"

"The poem you are holding in your hand now was written by me."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the venue was shocked.

You should know that the most shameful and taboo thing among scholars and students is plagiarism. You may not have literary talent, but you cannot steal other people's achievements. Such a person will be shameful even if he achieves something in the future.

So in the original book, after Shen Han was accused of plagiarism, he has been carrying this bad reputation, and he himself has been depressed and unhappy. This is a thorn in his heart.

He was clearly being slandered, and all his achievements were clearly earned through his own hard work, but everyone still laughed at him and looked down on him, thinking that he had plagiarized.

As the saying goes, once you plagiarize, you will never be able to wash off the reputation of plagiarism in your lifetime.

Therefore, most people would not have this idea unless they have the ability to keep it secret and not let anyone know about it for the rest of their lives.

Everyone in the room began to talk in whispers, and the two gentlemen who were sitting stood up.

"Jiang Toyota, do you know what you are talking about?" said the dean.

"The students know, but I didn't lie. This poem was indeed written by me." After saying that, Jiang Toyota took out his own poem.

A gentleman took it and opened it, and found that it was exactly the same as Qiao Hou's.

At this time, Qiao Hou also spoke up: "Dean, sir, he is lying. This poem was written by me. If you want to talk about plagiarism, he copied it from me."

Jiang Fengtian couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted, "Qiao Hou, I always thought of you as a friend, but I didn't expect that you would not only plagiarize my poem, but also bite back. How can you be so shameless?"

Wei Jing looked at the two of them in confusion, his eyes full of disbelief.

Guan Wenyi looked expressionless, probably because he was not familiar with them.

Shen Han was shocked. How could this happen? Aren't they good friends? How could they plagiarize?

Moreover, he couldn't tell who plagiarized whom. In terms of literary talent, Jiang Toyota was definitely better. Could it be that Qiao Hou really plagiarized?
