"Is this how you teach and educate people?" The old man looked disappointed.

"Grandpa?" Yan Tianhe was stunned, as if he didn't expect his grandfather to appear here.

"Shan... Chief of the mountain!" Mu Hong's hand holding the ruler shook.

He...he actually forgot! Today is Yan Tianhe's first day of school, and there is a possibility that the mountain chief will come to inspect, but he was instructed by Jia Xuemin to temporarily forget about it.

"By acting like this, you are not serving as a teacher!" Yan Shanchang was furious and threw away the ruler in Mu Hong's hand.

"Chief Shan, there's a misunderstanding!" Mu Hong said hurriedly, but the other party was unwilling to give him half of his attention.

Yan Shanchang bowed deeply to Lu Zhihang, and everyone was so frightened that they quickly helped him up.

"Chief, the students can't bear it." Lu Zhihang held his skinny arm and said seriously.

"This gift is given to you on behalf of the academy. If I hadn't happened to be here, wouldn't it have made you suffer unjust injustice." Yan Shanzhang waved his hand and sighed.

"It's not the fault of the mountain leader, so don't feel ashamed." Lu Zhihang shook his head and said warmly.

"Mu Hong, the academy cannot afford people like you! From now on, you no longer have to teach them." Yan Shan said in a trembling voice.

The matter ended with the arrival of Chief Yan. Although Mu Hong made a mistake, he had been teaching in the county school for more than ten years. It was impossible to completely expel him from the academy and impose a slight punishment on him because of this incident.

It allowed him to reflect on his mistakes, and at the same time, it also gave Lu Zhihang a better understanding of this class-strict country.

The imperial examination was his only way out.

Although Master Yan later changed everyone to another master, the frightened students were somewhat uneasy and uninterested in listening. Many people secretly speculated that this matter had something to do with Jia Xuemin. After all, Jia Xuemin was not the only one who had someone behind him.

, there are many ways to inquire about the relationship between Mu Hong and the other party.

Compared with those children from poor families who were trembling with fear, fearing that they might accidentally offend some second-generation official and suffer a loss someday, Lu Zhihang, the client, seemed to be a normal person, listening attentively, and from time to time showing a look of enlightenment under his master's guidance.

With a look on his face, he started writing furiously, lowering his head and thinking hard from time to time.

Instead of worrying about what you have and don't have, it's better to concentrate on studying. If you can't be reincarnated, you can only rely on your own efforts to climb up.

The one-day lesson was quickly finished under the Master's calm voice. After a few snacks, Lu Zhihang was about to go to the academy's library. He understood that the biggest difference between students from poor families like them and those from official families was

It's just that the collection of books is lacking, and there are countless volumes in the academy. If you can read a lot of books at no cost, why not do it.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, in the library of Changhuai County School.

"Lu Zhi, it's rare for a little book boy like yours to have tender skin and tender flesh." Wei Qi rarely saw a book boy from a family with outstanding looks, so she couldn't help but joke.

Except for Lu Zhao, who was not allowed to sleep with him at night, he was responsible for all other aspects of daily living, including the purchase of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. After following Lu Zhihang for a few days, several people in his dormitory began to look familiar to him.

"That's because the young master has a kind heart." Lu Zhao said sincerely. If he went to another house, whether he could have a full meal would be a problem. Lu Zhihang treated him no differently than he treated his younger brother.

"Speaking of which, you look to be about the same age as Yan Qi." Wei Qi's eyes narrowed a few times and she said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yan Tianhe frowned, put down the book and said angrily: "What do you mean by being of similar age? I will be fifteen in a few months."

"That will be a few months later, and you are now fourteen." Wei Qi said sternly, looking like an elder.

"Humph, some people are so old that their temperament is no different from that of a four-year-old child." Yan Tianhe sneered.

Listening to the bickering of several people, Lu Zhihang suddenly felt like he was raising a child. He felt like he was back in junior high school. He could only ignore what was going on outside the window. He couldn't bear it anymore and said calmly: "Don't make any noise in the library."

For a moment, the desk was completely silent.

Wei Qi held it in for a while and looked at Lu Zhihang's handsome appearance while he was reading and concentrating in boredom. She only found it pleasing to the eye. She caught a glimpse of how fast the pages of his book were turning and subconsciously said: "Lu Zhi, you can read this book so fast. How can you read it?"

Come in?"

"You can see it." Lu Zhihang was startled and nodded.

"You can read ten lines at a time, remember?" Wei Qi didn't believe in evil. He had vaguely remembered that the other party had an excellent memory this month, but he couldn't just flip through a page, and he probably didn't have the time to look carefully.

"Do you want me to read "Ji Zhuan" silently?" Lu Zhihang closed the book in his hand and asked with a smile.

Ji Zhuan was written by the former mountain chief. Apart from this library, there is no other place. Let alone early contact. It would be amazing if I could memorize the entire chapter from the time I entered school, even if I use my free time every day.

"Isn't this book an only copy? I remember taking it outside to expose in the sun today. Where did I get the book to compare it with?" Wei Qi shrugged, and finally doubted: "You didn't know about it in advance, so you said you wanted to memorize Ji Zhuan, right?

?”

"Took it to be exposed to the sun?" Lu Zhihang was stunned when he heard this. Then he recalled that there were indeed dozens of volumes placed in the open air outside the library.

Lu Zhihang was about to change a book when the sky, which had been bright and sunny just now, was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Without giving anyone a chance to breathe, heavy rain immediately poured down.

"..." Lu Zhihang was silent.

"It rained so suddenly." Wei Qi touched her nose and said humbly.

Lu Zhao thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Sir, are there still books hanging outside?"

Hearing this, several people were stunned and quickly got up and ran outside the library. From a distance, they saw several figures wearing Confucian shirts running in the continuous heavy rain, regardless of their soaked clothes.

Protecting the moist books in her arms with all her might.

Without thinking too much, Lu Zhihang and the others trotted to the library with the others holding the open books. After going back and forth several times, they put back all the many books that had been left out in the sun today.

Just looking at the books spread out on the table, not only Lu Zhihang and others looked bad, but also several middle-aged men in charge of the library were filled with regret.

"Thank you all students for your help today." The bookkeeper of the library reluctantly said his thanks. Looking at the books that were soaked by the rain and the ink was blurred, his heart seemed to be bleeding.

The chief secretary of the Yan State is always called the person in charge of the library. It can be regarded as a medium-sized official. Even the Hanlin Academy, which is coveted by students all over the world, has this position, but the level is not the same as the person in charge of the county school library.

Compared with books, the difference is clouds and mud.

While a few people were talking, the downpour outside the library not only did not stop, it actually got heavier and heavier.

"The weather is unpredictable. Who would have thought that today's sunny and sunny weather could suddenly rain so heavily? Sir, please don't blame yourself." Wei Qi comforted him when he saw the depressed look of the bookmaster.

"These books should have handwritten copies. Why is the bookmaster so melancholy?" Yan Tianhe asked puzzledly.

It is true that defacing dozens of volumes is not a small matter, but it only needs to be copied by someone else. Blank volumes specially used for engraving and printing are cheap, although many of these dozens of books are unique.

The academy only allows manual copying, but the most important thing the academy does not lack is students. With some benefits, there are many people who are willing to do hard work.

"Tianhe doesn't know, forget about other books, but this "Ji Zhuan" is the only one. Something happened to the manuscript a few days ago, and it was burned. Before it was re-copied, this was published.

Please tell me how to explain this to the mountain chief." The bookkeeper knew Yan Tianhe, so he didn't hide much. As he spoke, he almost covered his face and cried.

Lu Zhihang was startled when he heard this. After much thought, he finally said: "Sir, please don't be impatient. If you don't want to give up, let the students copy the Ji Zhuan on your behalf!"

Before Lu Zhihang finished speaking, everyone in the library looked at him with doubts, surprises, and disdain.

Wei Qi quietly tugged at the corner of Lu Zhihang's clothes, leaned closer and whispered, "Lu Zhi, don't lose your mind and go crazy. The whole book of Ji Zhuan has 30,000 words!"

"Are you serious?" The bookmaster did not expect that someone would be ignorant and said that he would copy the books on his behalf. Thinking of the kindness of several people who helped collect the books together, he was worried that the other party did not hear clearly, so he repeated in a deep voice: "This

There is no manual copy of the book for reference. If you want to copy it, you can only memorize it all by yourself."

"The student understands, so how dare he say such arrogant words in front of the Master in Charge?" Lu Zhihang said calmly, without leaving a trace, he took the hem of his clothes away from Wei Qi's hand.

"Since there is no manuscript to refer to, how do we know whether you are silent or not?" Another young man standing by asked doubtfully.

Although it is too difficult to make up a brand new book based on memory and it is difficult to confuse others, everyone is still curious about this issue.

When Yan Tianhe heard this question, he said frankly without thinking: "This is no reason for you to worry, sir. The mountain chief has memorized the whole book, word for word."

"It's a pity that the mountain chief has been out recently, and I have no shame in disturbing others because of my own mistakes." The master in charge's words undoubtedly affirmed Yan Tianhe's words.

"If Mr. Shanzhang is really capable of reviewing, I will trouble you, little brother, to transcribe it for you." The person who asked the question immediately said to Lu Zhihang after receiving the answer.

The Master didn't place his hopes on a young man who had just entered school, but now he had no other choice but to be a doctor. He took out a stack of blank manuscripts and handed them to him, stroking his beard.

He comforted and said: "Since you are willing, I will give you five days to copy it. If you can't finish it by then, I will let Mr. Shanchang copy it himself."

What he said was meant for Lu Zhihang. If the other party really couldn't write it out, they would treat it as incomplete copying.

Lu Zhihang solemnly took the pile of white paper, nodded and said, "Students must do their best."

Seeing Lu Zhihang's serious expression, everyone felt a little less contemptuous, but no one thought that Lu Zhihang could really write the whole book silently. They mostly comforted him and asked them to finish the book and go back early.

After the rain stopped, the four of them strolled towards their residence, stepping on the bluestone slabs with a slight splash of rainwater.

As soon as she left the library, Wei Qi couldn't help but blurted out: "Lu Zhi, why do you need to be in such limelight? It's a total of 30,000 words. How can you write it down word for word when you have been in school for one month? Fortunately, you have it in your hand.

Mr. Shu has never blamed me, but it will be miserable if he doesn't let me go."

"You're not him, how do you know he can't keep quiet?" Yan Tianhe shook his paper fan and made sarcastic comments to the side.

"If he can keep quiet, if he asks me to go east, I will never go west!" Wei Qi vowed.

"Brother Wei, you have to keep these words in mind and never forget them." Lu Zhihang heard a smile flashing in his eyes and patted the other party on the shoulder.

"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased." Wei Qi was not afraid at all, but he knew that Lu Zhi also went to the library after class and on holidays, and read many books. Even if he specializes in Ji Zhuan, he cannot memorize it.

down, so not worried.

"Okay, Brother Wei, I appreciate you." Lu Zhihang clapped his hands and praised.

"You're talking like I'm a fool." Seeing Lu Zhihang's confident look, Wei Qi touched the back of his head, feeling a little weird.

"Is it possible that you are the one?" Yan Tianhe said.

"..."

While they were chatting and laughing, several people had already entered the room. Lu Zhihang did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered Lu Zhao to study the ink nearby. After soaking the ink evenly, he raised his hand to write on the white paper and started writing quickly.

Wei Qi saw that he was serious and didn't seem to be faking, so he sneaked a look at the side and was surprised when he saw that the other person's handwriting was regular and his writing speed was not slow. The content he wrote was vaguely familiar, but it was still that.
