There were only two matches today, and many people were still unsatisfied.Although Lin Zhao has gone, his poems are still here.

The people around still haven't left yet, they all stand in front of the two poems and watch them, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-thu-t-t-t-praise while watching them, and many people take out pens and paper from the side and plan to copy a copy of the poems and read them slowly.

This is like Jiang Ziyan's monthly high school essays in his previous life. Xueba's full-score essays were always printed out by the teacher and sent to the class for others to study.

Probably the two poems written by Lin Zhao also had the same effect. Everyone copied and circulated them one after another, hoping to learn the essence of poetry from them and improve their own level in this aspect.

When Lin Zhao stepped down from the stage, many students around were praising him, but facing the praise of everyone, he just smiled faintly and walked away from the crowd.Such an attitude of neither fighting nor grabbing, but also being stable and not frivolous once again won the favor of most of the people present.Some people were very dissatisfied with Shi Maocai because they admired him, and the contemptuous attitude in their hearts disappeared at this time.

On the other hand, Shi Maocai on the stage, he was so angry that his teeth were about to be gritted, but he still couldn't change the fact that he had already lost.While regretting everything in his heart, why did he make such a gamble that would not leave him alive, and he even advertised that all the students in the prefectural city knew about it.

Now the loser is him, how can he have the face to go back?Originally, he had vowed to win that he would place such a ruthless bet. He wanted to drive Lin Zhao out of the academy, so that Yuan Niang would look at him in a new light, so that she would no longer be full of illusions about Lin Zhao.

But now he is the one who is about to leave the academy, and his face has been completely humiliated.Leaving this aside, if anyone in the family knows that he has lost, especially his uncle who is working as an acquaintance, if they know that he has lost, they will break his leg.

The more Shi Maocai thought about it, the more he panicked, he couldn't leave the academy, he had been studying in the academy for a year, and he could end up next year.

The people who were watching in the audience were all focused on the two poems at this time, and the ridicule and ridicule that Shi Maocai imagined did not appear.

Instead, his usual classmates and friends came to the stage to comfort him, "Maocai, don't take this victory or defeat to heart, we will have to go to the end of the test to get fame. This is just an ordinary game. If you lose, you will lose." Well, it’s nothing at all, it can only show that our skills are not as good as others, and we will learn more in the future and make up for it slowly.”

"Yes, yes, Zhao Ze is right. Compared with our imperial examinations, this is not important at all. You must calm down and prepare for the next year's exams!"

Shi Maocai sat slumped on the ground with red eyes, although a few classmates next to him were comforting him, but he still felt the burning pain on his face.He was so arrogant before, but he lost. If he didn't leave the academy, how could he hold his head up here?

He couldn't help growling and said, "What do you know? This is a bet. So many people know about the competition between the two of us. Believe it or not, it won't take a long time. I lost to Lin Zhao. How can you tell me to relax when it spreads all over the city?"

Looking at him like this, Zhao Ze knew that he was resentful, but there was no way to do it. If he lost in full view, no one could help him justify himself.

"Actually, if you don't leave the academy, no one would dare to say anything. You see, although Lin Zhao won you, he didn't ask you to leave the academy, did he?"

Another classmate, Li Ji, also said after hearing the words: "That's right, Lin Zhao didn't mention letting you leave the academy at all when he was waiting. Since he didn't hold on to it, you can just treat this bet as a joke between the two of you and look for it another day." It’s fine to ask him to apologize in person at this time. As for other people, they must be even more afraid to say anything, after all, your uncle is a co-confessed, and they should not be so eager to offend you.”

Zhao Ze nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason. So the key question now is that as long as Lin Zhao doesn't tell you to leave the academy, you don't have to leave. I also think you should go to him to apologize. Although he didn't mention it at this time, it's hard to guarantee that he won't mention it in the future."

When Shi Maocai heard that he was going to ask Lin Zhao to apologize, he quit immediately. He was already in a bad temper, but now he heard that two of his classmates told him to apologize, and his temper suddenly turned up.

He grabbed Zhao Ze's neckline, pushed back suddenly, pushed Zhao Ze staggered, and said, "Just because he also asked me to apologize? Who does he think he is? A hypocritical hypocrite, want to I apologize, he was dreaming!"

Zhao Ze is also a little angry. He has always respected this friend and knows that he has a bad temper, but because he has helped him a lot in life before, he generally endures it.

But this time the two of them were telling the truth. If he didn't want to leave the academy, the only way to do this was to apologize.

What he said just now was for his own good, but he didn't expect that he would be violently pushed and shoved by the other party. His lower back directly hit the table, but the other party didn't care at all, and just opened his mouth and scolded him.

Zhao Ze held his back, and another friend who was comforting Shi Maocai just now was supporting him. This friend's face was full of helplessness.

He said: "Are you okay?" He said this to Zhao Ze.

"It's okay, let's go, let him think about it for himself!"

So the only two people around who comforted Shi Maocai also left, and Shi Maocai sat on the stage alone for an unknown how long, until there was no one in the audience, and he was still sitting there in a daze.

He still can't figure it out, you should have a better foundation in poetry and prose, and he is much better than Lin Zhao in poetry class, but why did he lose so quickly this time?

Although he really didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Lin Zhao's poems were indeed better than his in the two poems he wrote today.

He had also heard some rumors about Lin Zhao before. After all, after knowing that he was his rival in love, he paid someone to find out.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, after all, in his opinion, anyone who is admitted to a scholar at a young age can be regarded as extremely talented in reading, such as him.

Shi Maocai is only 17 years old this year, and he is indeed a genius at this age.Since he was in school, people around him have been praising him for his good knowledge and talent for reading.

So when the person he sent to inquire about Lin Zhao's situation came back to report to him, saying that others said that Lin Zhao was very talented in reading, he didn't take it seriously.

Even though Lin Zhao got the second place in the college examination, he still didn't pay attention to it.After all, in his current class of talents, he also took the third place.

But judging from the two poems he made today, he is not a star behind Lin Zhao, it's just that he doesn't want to admit it.

Shi Maocai sat on the stage for a long time, feeling resentful, unwilling, sad, and resentful.But in the final analysis, the main reason lies in himself. He has a good family background and has never experienced any hardship since he was a child.

And when it comes to studying, he is already a child at the age of ten, and adults from all over the world praise him as a genius.He has come here smoothly all the way, and he has never fallen through such a big somersault.

Here, Li Ji helped Zhao Ze back to the dormitory, and found him a box of ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and while applying the medicine, he said: "You know that Maocai has a bad temper, why do you still say such harsh words today? Don't you know that he always hated Lin Zhao the most? He even asked him to apologize."

"Isn't it you who asked him to apologize? Why did I mention it? Hiss - lighten up!"

Li Ji was speechless, "I was too hasty to say that, and it's the truth. Going to Lin Zhao to apologize for this matter is the best solution. Look at his indifference when he left. It's not like someone who cares about such things. If Maocai apologized with sincerity, then he wouldn't have to leave the academy."

"Yeah, we all understand the truth, he has to figure it out for himself!"

"Yes, but he just can't get rid of this face now."

The reason why Zhao Ze and Li Ji became friends with Shi Maocai was because Zhao Ze gave him a lot of help because of Shi Maocai, while Li Ji simply admired his talent.

One of them is 20 years old and the other is 21 years old. They are both older than Shi Maocai. They are scholars in the same class. They are older than him, and their ranking is not as high as his.

Moreover, Shi Maocai has a bit of a temper, but once he includes you in his ranks, he will protect his shortcomings, so he has always been very kind to the two of them.

After a long time, the three became good friends. Although the two of them and Shi Maocai did not live in the same dormitory, this did not prevent the three of them from getting close.

The two of them were also present at the bet. They knew that Shi Maocai had hated Lin Zhao for a long time, so they finally seized an opportunity to teach him a lesson, so they didn't dissuade him. After all, in their eyes, Shi Mao was just a young genius, and he would end up next year without any accidents. 100% hit.

But they forgot that there was someone beyond the sky, and this time the car overturned.The loser was not Lin Zhao, but their friend Shi Maocai.

Lin Zhao, who won the competition here, didn't take this matter to heart. For him, this competition is to test the results of his poetry study during this period.

Now it seems that the method Mr. Cen said is very applicable to him.As long as you persevere for a long time, accumulate more materials, watch more and listen more, you will definitely make progress faster.

After Lin Zhao went back, he stayed in the dormitory to read.

There are three matching tables and chairs in the dormitory, and one set is placed near the door, which is used by Yang Su.The other two sets are placed opposite each other, next to the pillars in the house.

Chen Mian and Yang Su came back together with Lin Zhao. Seeing that Lin Zhao didn't say a word of congratulations after returning, it seemed that he was not the one who won the game.

Chen Mian couldn't stand it any longer, and shouted, "Third brother, why don't you play cards according to common sense? Are you not happy that you won the competition?"

Lin Zhao raised his head from the book in his hand, looked at him, and wrote lightly, "I'm happy."

"Listen and take a look, does he look happy?" Chen Mian said while pinching Lin Zhao's chin with his hands, turning his face to face Yang Su.

Yang Su smiled, answered the wrong question, and said: "The third brother's poetry and prose skills have improved so fast that I can't wait to catch up."

Lin Zhao rescued his face from Chen Mian's hands, put the book upside down on the table, and said, "Why, don't I look happy?"

"How do you look like this? Look at you, look at your expression, look at what you are doing now, and tell me you are happy?"

"What do you want?"

Chen Mian rubbed his hands and urged: "Look, it's only been half a day, we have a day off today, there is still half a day to waste!"

"so what?"

Chen Mian took over the conversation naturally, "So, let's go down the mountain and have a good meal, just to celebrate that you beat Shi Maocai, a bastard today! Okay?"

"Not good." Lin Zhao said.

"Not good." Yang Su said.

The two refused in unison, and Chen Mian suddenly became bitter, "Why? Don't you get tired of eating the food in the cafeteria every day? You won't be asked to pay for it. If I treat you, won't you eat for free?"

This time, before Lin Zhao could speak, Yang Su answered, "Chen Mian, have you forgotten that a big test is about to take place?"

Hearing the words "big test", Chen Mian shrank instantly, his small face wrinkled more bitterly than bitter melon.To be honest, he really didn't think about the upcoming big test at all.
