Shelter in the pastoral

The study schedule in Shanlin Academy is very full, and the students in Class A are either geniuses with a photographic memory or very hardworking people.

There are a few classes every day, and the rest of the time is self-study in the dormitory.The oil lamps here burn until midnight every day, and everyone gets up to study before dawn.

This kind of atmosphere is indeed much richer than in the private school.

Fang Shujing is now a popular person in Class A, not because everyone loves to eat his family's pickles, but because Fang Shujing's notes in class are very comprehensive.There are always missing points in class, as long as you borrow them and take a look at them, you will understand.

Moreover, Fang Shu is clean and generous, no matter who cares, he can borrow it.Grades are still the most important thing in Class A, and he can pass the mid-range level in every in-class exam.Everyone felt that there was no suspense for him to win the Xiucai exam.

When Fang Shujing was idle, he would open the letter from his wife and take a look. The daughter-in-law would miss him in the letter.

Every time I see the words written by him, it is like seeing someone else.

Although the people in the same dormitory have never seen Fang Shujing's daughter-in-law, they already have a lot of imaginations. It must be a beautiful woman who makes him miss her so much.

Fang Shujing replied a letter, and after sending it out, Liu Lin came over and said, "Is it finished?" When he wrote the letter just now, he didn't dare to move forward. Fang Shujing seemed very gentle, but who would want to? Come close to him while he's writing and he'll lose his temper.

Liu Lin said: "Shut up this month, let's go to the town for a drink?" Every time you take a bath is too short, it's better to just relax here.

Liu Lin saw that Fang Shujing was in low spirits, and said, "Junior Brother Fang, we didn't go down the mountain just to drink. There are also many talented scholars at the foot of the mountain. After changing glasses on the wine table, we can meet some friends." As for juren, all the "celebrities" who have been admitted over the years are those who can both become famous and know some people, and it may not be used at any time.

Even people like Chen Laoshi attend several times a month.

Fang Shujing said: "Alright then."

As soon as Liu Lin saw that he agreed, he went down the mountain after a little preparation.The town at the foot of Shanlin Academy is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery in the town is very good, and it is very lively when you enter the city.There are all kinds of books for sale, food and play, but most of them are all kinds of study rooms, which contain a variety of miscellaneous books privately collected by famous masters, and they are too overwhelming to read.

Liu Lin took him to a restaurant.As soon as I entered, I saw full inscriptions.

Seeing that they also looked like scholars, the waiter in the shop said:

"My lords, the things on the wall were mentioned by the masters of Juren over the years. There are more than 20 Juren in our store. Feng Shui is good. Why don't you try the number one scholar red in our store?"

Scholars all want to get a good fortune. When they heard about this, they said, "Here's a pot."

"Okay, please, please. After half an hour, there will be an activity to meet friends through literature. You are welcome to participate. If you get the leader, you will get a jar of wine as a gift." The waiter is a clever person. One sentence explained things clearly.

Liu Lin led him up to the private room on the second floor, sat down and said, "Let's try it today and see if we can get the champion red they gave as a gift. It costs two liang of silver to buy this pot alone." It's just a pot It also costs five hundred texts.

After a while, the waiter brought up the flagon, and also presented some cold dishes: "You two take it easy." After finishing speaking, the waiter bent over and left.

Liu Lin said with emotion: "They still know how to do business here. In the beginning, as long as the scholars of Shanlin Academy can come here to write inscriptions, they can change a pot of wine every time. They have accumulated a lot. As long as there are scholars who pass the exam, they will Hang up the calligraphy and paintings to attract people to come and drink." Every time the academy rests, there are the most people here, and once the poems written get the leader, they will become famous.

Not long after the two arrived, the door was pushed open with a bang.The person who came was a greasy-faced man with slanted eyes, looking strangely charming, not like a serious person.

Liu Lin was unprepared, and was taken aback by the loud noise they broke in: "Who are you?"

The man's name is Xu Wen, and he is Xu Ziyang's cousin.When Fang Shujing was in the Xu family, Xu Wen looked down on him in every possible way.Because the two have been comparing him and he always loses slightly.

Ever since Fang Shujing was driven away, he felt elated and said with a sneer, "I saw you downstairs just now. I didn't expect you to have the face to come back to study."

Liu Lin didn't know what happened, but he could feel his unkindness, so he frowned slightly and said, "Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

Fang Shujing also disliked him very much, saying: "Naturally, I can go wherever I want in the whole world."

Xu Wen knew that he had returned to the farmer's house.Guess his life is definitely not as comfortable as when he was the young master of the Xu family.He looked up and down, did not hide the disgust in his words, and said: "A person like you deserves to come to this kind of place. I feel disgusted when I see you."

What he said was too much, even Liu Lin who was beside him was angry, and wanted to rush over to argue with him, but Fang Shujing stopped him, saying: "Since the illness is not clear, we should wait until the illness recovers."

Xu Wen didn't expect him to be so calm, it seemed ridiculous that he jumped up and down, and said angrily: "Aren't you just a boy, what's so great about it." Unexpectedly, he has lost his prominent status now Still despise him.

Fang Shujing smiled and said: "You still look down on Tongsheng? You are not even a Tongsheng, let's talk about it after you pass the exam."

Xu Wen said: "You wait for me." Although he did not do well in the exam, his father sponsored a scholar and even recognized his godson.The cost of studying on weekdays is all paid by their family.Xu Wen secretly scolded him not to be complacent, there are always times when he can't laugh.

After Xu Wen left, Liu Lin said, "Junior Brother Fang, what's going on?"

Fang Shujing told him about the previous two families who had the wrong child, and he was dumbfounded.I admire Fang Shujing more and more in my heart. I didn't expect him to go through so much and live such a rich life and return to the countryside all of a sudden. Such a big gap is enough to destroy a person, but he persisted.

It's no wonder that although he was born in a farming family, his temperament is as gentle as jade. It turns out that he has been polished for a long time.

But Liu Lin was a little worried. Xu Wen didn't look like a decent person at first glance, and he didn't know what tricks he was going to play.

After a while, Xu Wen really came, and brought a scholar with him.Liu Lin's heart skipped a beat. He recognized this scholar as He Yu, the leader last time.He is also a young genius. He didn't enter their Shanlin Academy at the beginning, but everyone in Class A is no stranger to him.He did not fail to debate and write poetry several times.

He Yu is still a child, with great ambitions, and wants to win three yuan in a row within a year.

How could such a person get involved with Xu Wen.

Xu Wendao: "Didn't you just mock me for my lack of knowledge? I specially found a helper. He is also a child, so don't say that I bully you."

Liu Lin vomited blood as he listened to the sidelines. Pulling out the leader last time is not bullying, so what is bullying?

Xu Wendao: "It's better for you to compete with each other and despise them. If anyone loses, he will be banned from the exam for a year?"

He was yelling at the door of the private room. There were a lot of scholars here, and their quarrel called out many scholars who were drinking and chatting.They all came out to join in the fun and said, "What's the matter?"

Then he chattered: "What kind of hatred is there?" When the scholars heard the bet, they all gasped.

"Facing He Yu, who would dare?"

"What's the matter, I'm late, can someone tell me what happened?"

Banning the exam for one year is too poisonous, and delaying it for a year may completely ruin your luck.

If you agree to this matter, who would dare to do your best if you block your own future.

If you are familiar with each other, you will use your own future to make a name for the other party.

But if you don't agree, you will be laughed at when you go back to the academy.Those who are scholars don't even have this kind of blood, and they are looked down upon by others.

Xu Wen was beside him triumphantly, while He Yu also looked indifferent, with an annoying arrogance all over his body, as if he believed that this game would not be lost.

Everyone likes to join in the fun. Most of the scholar's tricks before were to bet on some good wine. This is the first time that such a big bet has been made.

Soon even the waiter and shopkeeper were alarmed.

The shopkeeper said: "You two young masters, if you want to compete, let's free up the lobby on the first floor."

Even the students from Class A who heard the news rushed over, and when they saw them fanning the flames, they got angry and said, "What are you doing?"

This is clearly bullying.

Everyone present knew that He Yu was a great talent. Although he was a child, his level was very high. He didn't pass the exam because he wanted to stay out of business for three years and become a blockbuster.Come to crush Fang Shujing and propose such a sinister method of banning the exam for one year.

"You guys are too shameless, you want to fight us." Fang Shujing is humble, generous, and polite. He always shares the little pickles he brought. Anyone can borrow his notes. Seeing others bullying others like this, everyone stood up immediately.

"Since the talented man wants to teach you, why not fight with the wheel and see how many tests you can pass." One of the scholars in Class A said coldly.

"That's right, I heard that even though He Dacai is just a child, he has the strength to take the exam. This kind of strength is not for competition in the examination room, but for gambling. This is the first time I have seen it."

"That's right, a one-year ban on the exam is nothing. Since you want to play, it's better to play bigger. Let's play the ten-year ban on the exam."

These Class A students are eloquent and never forgive others.The faces of He Yu and Xu Wen, who were running out, turned red and white.

He Yu dared to stand up to Fang Shujing, but he really didn't dare to be presumptuous with the people in Class A.What was said before that although he was born as a child, he has the talent to be an examiner. This is also what his godfather asked someone to pass on, so as to establish his reputation as a talented man.As a well-known large academy, Shanlin Academy has a solid background, and everyone here is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Compared with these people, he is not sure of victory!

Fang Shujing's heart warmed up. Although they were provocative, it felt good to be surrounded by classmates and friends, as if someone was supporting them.

Xu Wen saw that He Yu's mentality was a little broken, and said: "We are talking to Fang Shujing, not you. It has nothing to do with you."

Their little thought of wanting to bully others just now has been broken, and at this moment they still insist on comparing themselves with Fang Shujing.

The scholars who were watching for a while cast contemptuous glances at He Yu.

Since He Yu became famous at the age of 16, when Xu Wen asked him to compete, he didn't take it seriously.But this time it was different. Feeling everyone's disdain for him, he was a little flustered, and said, "Are you better?"

Fang Shujing said: "Comparison is comparison." He doesn't cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble.

Xu Wen was overjoyed when he heard his promise: "You said this. A man is a big man, spitting is a nail, but you can't count your words." Then Zhang Luo, the shopkeeper, immediately laid out the pen and ink, feeling that Fang Shujing was so stupid. It's time to die.He Yu is a genius that the private school teacher himself said, and Fang Shujing is an ordinary person no matter how good his knowledge is, and there is still a certain gap between an ordinary person and a genius.

The shopkeeper had arrived early, and there were a few familiar scholars, all of whom were highly respected in the town.

Even they haven't seen anyone betting on their future in so many years, and they are all very cautious.One of the bearded old men said: "Why don't you write a parallel essay on the theme of autumn frost and winter snow."

Parallel prose emphasizes that four or six sentences have harmonious rhythm, neat antithesis, and rhyme.Very difficult and limited to one hour.

This short hour represents the future.

Don't even give them much time to think.

When He Yu heard this topic, his mind went blank. Before writing a satisfactory article, he would usually spend three to five days thinking about it, and in the process of writing, he had to polish it countless times.Copy it one last time before showing it to Mr.

He Yu didn't panic when he had to write an article in such a short time now.Even he found it difficult, so he had to calm down and start writing.

Fang Shujing was used to writing a draft in his heart first, and then finished it in one go, and it seemed that He Yu had already started writing.But he hadn't written it yet, and all the people in Shanlin Academy broke into a cold sweat for him.

There are also some competitive scholars who want pens and inks from shopkeepers, and some want to write them in the past, and then compare them with what they wrote, so that they can know the gap between themselves!

Fang Shujing started to write after a short idea. He used to be a writer of story books, and his writing speed was much faster than ordinary people. The people next to him couldn't keep up with his speed.

Originally, the competition was very lively, even if you lose, it doesn't matter if you win next time.But this time during the competition, there was no sound in the restaurant, for fear that some noise would affect their competition.

There are many scholars in the town who have encountered a once-in-a-decade event, and a steady stream of scholars rushed here, just wanting to join in the fun.

An hour is coming soon!

The old man with long beard said: "It's time."

Many scholars who were writing articles panicked, and it took them half an hour to hold back three lines.

The people in Shanlin Academy also became nervous.

Liu Lin's face turned pale, and he wished he could slap himself in the face. It would be nice to study in the academy well, but if he insisted on coming out, he would be framed here now.In case Fang Shujing was banned from the exam for a year due to his involvement, he would not be able to forgive himself.

The three people read He Yu's paper first, and the beautiful handwriting caught their eyes. The first sentence was a famous sentence from a great poet of the previous dynasty, which firmly attracted attention.The writing of the article is also quite satisfactory. In his article, the autumn frost and winter snow have become charming scenery.The last sentence is also the arrogant poem I wrote when I became famous before, with a beginning and an end.It is amazing to be able to write a new article in such a short period of time.Just look at the people present who can't write three or five lines in an hour can see how outstanding he is.

"Okay." The old man with long beard said.As expected of the leader last time!The youth is arrogant, but he has the capital of being crazy.

When the people of Shanlin Academy heard that they praised He Yu, their hearts turned cold on the spot. Scholars all know how important the imperial examination is. If the examination is banned for one year, the burden on their hearts will be too great!At that time, even if he ends up again, he may not be able to perform well.

One of them said: "It's just a competition. Whether you win or lose an article doesn't mean anything. After ten years of hard work, how can you not pass the exam because of this?" This person is also from the Shanlin Academy. Shujing is trying to smooth things over.

But the more they are like this, the more proud Xu Wen is: "Is it because you can't afford it? It was clearly agreed before. If you can't afford it, I have a good way to get under my legs, so it's nothing It never happened." He looked at Fang Shujing provocatively.

There were 80 to [-] people present, if he really followed what he said, he would stop being a human being in the future: "You are deceiving people too much."

Xu Wen heheed twice, feeling relieved.

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled at this time, and most of them wanted to comment on this matter, they saw the long-bearded old man pick up Fang Shujing's paper, and his eyes became sharp after only one glance. up.

This……

It looks unhurried, obviously it is about scenery, but it is actually expressing emotions through scenery, and it is very profound. Just looking at this article, you will not think that this article is written by Tong Sheng, at least it is also a famous Confucian.

Not on the same scale at all.Not to mention the beautiful writing, and the last two sentences sublimated this article.

Express emotion with the scenery, set off worry with emotion, and finally return to the plain scenery.It was as if the violent emotional fluctuation had never appeared.

But the aftertaste is long.

When I didn't read Fang Shujing's article, I thought He Yu's writing was very good, but after reading Fang Shujing's article, I forgot what He Yu's article wrote.

It can be seen from an article that he is open-minded.This level of thinking is beyond the reach of ordinary people.If it weren't for staring at the articles they wrote and even thinking that he had written them in advance.

It is said that an article never tires of revising it thousands of times, the more it is revised, the more perfect it will be, but his article is a perfect article, even the old man with a long beard doesn't know where and what needs to be revised.

Seeing Fang Shujing's article, the person who has always been moody and angry became short of breath.He witnessed with his own eyes what it means to be a master.

A person like He Yu who trembled at a certain level was hanged and beaten by Fang Shujing.

There were three "invigilators" headed by the long-bearded old man, and the other two were shocked when they saw the paper. They thought that He Yuwen had won, and how could things have turned out like this.

However, Fang Shu's net win is undisputed, as long as anyone who has read the book for a few years can see the quality of these two articles.

"The winner of this competition is..." the old man with long beard made a fool of himself.

He Yu looked at Fang Shujing contemptuously.

Fang Shujing ignored him at all.

"The winner this time is Fang Shujing."

The voice fell.The originally quiet tavern suddenly exploded: "How is this possible."

"I heard that right."

Even the people of Shanlin Academy were a little dazed when they heard the news.

Liu Lin was the quickest to respond, and quickly said, "That's great."

The people from Shanlin Academy were not slow to respond, saying: "What kind of top scholar am I? It turns out that the name doesn't match the truth."

He Yu even forgot the scholar's etiquette, and he couldn't believe that he would lose the parallel prose that he was so proud of.Immediately snatched Fang Shujing's paper, and started to read ten lines at a glance.At first I thought there was a conspiracy here, but when I saw the article he wrote, my eyes widened, and I felt panic in my heart: "Impossible...Impossible, how could it be?"

People around are also curious about what the test papers that have won the leader look like.I also leaned over, and I was surprised after a while.

Fang Shujing's article can shock even the old man, and the scholar was even more amazed after reading it.

"Amazing."

"Your Shanlin Academy has hidden such a powerful one."

"Oh my god, this was written impromptu just now."

"Excuse me, the scholar in front asked me if I could copy it out first."

"Yes, yes, I want to copy too."

Xu Wen didn't expect that He Yu would lose to Fang Shujing. He Yu had decided to end next year. His family had already spent a lot of money on making him famous. His success would drive the family's business. The battle of spirits is screwed up.

He was in a cold sweat. If his father knew that he had done such a stupid thing and wanted to beat him, he would not care about his face at this moment, and shouted in a panic: "Did you leak the question?"

In a word, it can be said that it has passed the hornet's nest.

The long-bearded old man said on the spot: "This is a topic I was thinking about temporarily, why do I vent it."

Liu Lin did not forget his aggressive look just now, and said, "Fang Shujing has never been here before."

The shopkeeper, who was always nice and nice, also said with a cold face: "Young master, all of us here make friends through literature, so how can we cheat? Please be careful with your words." Seeing that Xu Wen also looks human, Why can't afford to lose like this, it's despicable.

There was also a voice from the crowd: "Get out."

"This is a place where you are making fuss innocence, and you are not welcome."

Everyone could see that he wanted to repent.Before showing off his power, now he is playing tricks in every possible way.

Someone said: "By the way, you guys made a good suggestion just now, if you don't want to admit defeat, you can use your legs."

"This is really a good idea." The scholar booed beside him.

Xu Wen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Ever since He Yu was praised as a talented person at the age of 16, He Yu had never been subjected to such a squeeze, and he thought of being banned from the exam for a year and not being able to deny it in front of so many people.Hearing the taunts and sarcasm, his hands trembled in anger, and then his eyes darkened, and he fell straight down.

Xu Wen was heartbroken on the spot, it's over, this time it's a big disaster!
