Chapter Thirteen The Great Master Arrives

Hou Zhongshu was really angry when Zhang Haoyuan and Zhang Guihe did this.

Hou Zhongshu said angrily: "Do you still know what kind of friendship between classmates is? Yanchao, you can endure it. You must teach him how powerful we are in the past few days."

Lin Yanchao patted Hou Zhongshu on the shoulder and said, "This is a good thing. If you don't be jealous of others, you are a mediocre person. Besides, this is a shallow person. But you can show off your verbal skills and there is nothing to worry about."

Hou Zhongshu snorted and said, "No, I must let out this breath. You are waiting for the day when the supervisor comes. Let's see how I make a big splash and my skills are amazing."

Seeing Hou Zhongshu like this, Lin Yanchao was afraid that something would happen to him, so he kindly reminded him: "Sir, I didn't want you to answer in front of the Master of Education. I'm afraid you don't even have a chance to appear."

Hou Zhongshu laughed and said, "Anyway, don't worry, you can cooperate with me then. My Hou Zhongshu will not be far away."

"I'm going to say that, so you can do it yourself." Lin Yanchao spread his hands.

"Don't have no confidence in me. I don't believe that you will be suppressed by Zhang Guihe in the society and will never make a breakthrough in your life. Do you have any tricks to tell me about?" Hou Zhongshu patted Lin Yanchao's shoulder.

"In the end, I'll have to give me some advice."

"Your idea is mine, come on."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Yes, I do have a way to help you. If you have ambitions to go to school, I can help you show your face before studying politics. However, your studies are not yet at the right time and you don't have real talent. After a long time, you will be seen through, and then it will harm you."

Hou Zhongshu smiled and said, "Who said that my homework is not good? We used to be a slight pound. Even if we are a little worse now, we will always be able to catch up in the future. Besides, if you don't help me, would you still help Zhang Guihe, Zhang Haoyuan and the others?"

Lin Yanchao looked into the room, nodded and said, "That's right."

Seeing Hou Zhongshu's active mind, Lin Yanchao said: "Tomorrow, you will be more important to study. If you are really talented, it is like a vertebrae, and you will see it sooner or later."

The two of them went to have dinner and returned to the lecture hall.

It was already dark, and the people in Zhangcuo had already eaten late food and were about to go to bed.

But scholars always need to go up to the third day and the fifth day, and reading at night is common.

All classmates were already home, and Lin Yanchao lit the oil lamp he brought from home and squeezed on a table with Hou Zhongshu, who wanted to save money on lamp oil. It looked like a little firefly from a distance.

Hou Zhongshu read for a while, then lay on the table and snored and fell asleep.

Lin Yanchao was speechless. He understood the truth that this was far away because he had reminded Hou Zhongshu many times. It was enough. If he continued, it would be far away.

What he is thinking about now is the papers he is going to hand over to the supervisor.

I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics yet, and I have no way to talk about the Eight-Legend Essays. The only papers I'm going to hand over to the supervisor are only the pair and rhyme poems. Although Eight-Legend Essays are the mainstream at present. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the provincial examinations were not tested in the provincial examinations, but the college examinations, the prefecture and county examinations still occasionally, which depends on the mood of the examiner.

But the problem is that Lin Yanchao is not good at writing poems and wants to learn from other time travelers and engage in the act of literary thieves.

But Lin Yanchao searched for a while in his mind. He had never remembered a few poems after the Ming Dynasty. If life was just like the first meeting? Forget about the twelve or thirteen-year-old kids, he knew what kind of love between men and women. The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away. He was so sad that he had to treat himself to tea after writing it a few days after writing it.

So Lin Yanchao was about to give up this amazing plan and worked hard. Fortunately, from now on, there was no quick way to learn it. Lin Yanchao was not busy grinding ink and writing, but went out to Zuozhai and borrowed the books "Preface to the Skills", "Rhymes and Poems", "Shun Meng Pian Quotes", and "Li Weng's Symbols" from Lin Chengyi.

However, Lin Chengyi told him that "Rhymes and Shixun" had long been borrowed, while "Xun Meng Pian Jue" was already outdated, and only "Li Weng's "Rhymes and Yun" can be read.

Lin Yanchao thought it would be enough to have "Li Weng's Rhyme", so he took the book back to his desk, with the sky facing the earth, the rain facing the wind, the continent facing the sky, the mountain flowers facing the sea, and the red sun facing the sky. With his extraordinary memory, he spent two or three hours to memorize the entire book "Li Weng's Rhyme".

If it were someone else, no one would have been idle and put in this effort, but Lin Yanchao could do it.

After memorizing it, Lin Yanchao grinded ink and picked up his pen. The parallel sentences in "Li Weng's Rhyme" were already in his mind. Combined with Lin Chengyi's memory of writing poems in the past, he began to write poems. He thought hard all night and barely wrote two lines, seven-character couplets and a five-character poem.

Fortunately, when I read it, Lin Yanchao took out another piece of cotton paper and wrote it neatly in front of the written words, and then returned to rest.

The next day, Lin Yanchao wrote another seven-character poem to add it, and Hou Zhongshu also learned from Lin Yanchao's methods and wrote two poems using "Li Weng's Rhyme". Lin Yanchao was so terrible that he saw it, almost as if he was "The sea is full of water, and the horse is four legs".

In Hongtang Society, everyone worked hard to prepare, and finally the Grand Master came for a day.

As the sky was dawn, the gates of Hongtang Society and School were opened together.

The villagers were busy cleaning the streets, and the society also started to organize themselves. Lin Yanchao and Hou Zhongshu brought water to wipe the storefront.

At this time, a man wearing a Dongpo hat and a satin shirt strode and asked loudly, "Sir, are you here?"

Lin Yanchao recognized that this person was the father of Zhang Haoyuan, the village head. Hou Zhongshu didn't like Zhang Haoyuan and didn't say anything. But Lin Yanchao stepped forward and said, "Sir, please come in the house, Mr. Zhang Jia."

Mr. Zhang was about to take a step, but Lin Chengyi was just stepping forward and debuted: "Mr. Zhang, are you looking for me?"

When Mr. Zhang saw Lin Chengyi, he laughed happily and said, "Sir, it's a coincidence. I just came to take a look. I heard that Master Tixue was pressing. The Shuijing Society was busy. If you have any helpers in the Society, just say it."

Lin Chengyi smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, don't bother the countryside, we are all students."

Mr. Zhang heard this and said, "Where are the students in the society? Which one is not a child from our Hongtang Township or an outsider? Is Haoyuan there?"

Zhang Haoyuan walked out with a broom, and when he saw Mr. Zhang, he lowered his head and said, "Dad, what are you calling me?"

Mr. Zhang patted Zhang Haoyuan's head and said, "How come you are covered in dust? Hurry up and clean it up. Master Xuezheng, but the Wenqu Star in the sky descends to earth. How can you do it without dressing more decently? I will meet you later and need to deal with it well. If you can appreciate Master Xuezheng, you will be blessed with ten lifetimes."

After saying that, Mr. Zhang patted the dust on his son, and Zhang Haoyuan said timidly.

Mr. Zhang said to Lin Chengyi with a smirk, "Sir, the Grand Master is here later. I'm so grateful to take care of the dog."

After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Hou Zhongshu secretly frowned at Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao smiled and continued to wipe the door with the cloth.

Lin Chengyi seemed to feel a little embarrassed, but he still said: "On weekdays, Mr. Zhang is taking care of him, and Haoyuan is my student, so he treats everyone equally."

"Mr. Lin, how are you prepared?"

But when he saw a man in his thirties, strides in brocade clothes. When he saw the other party, Lin Chengyi and Zhang Zhengjia did not dare to neglect them, and saluted together and said, "Young Master Zhang."

Lin Yanchao didn't know this young master Zhang, but he couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Lian Lizheng was also looking humble and pleasing.

Hou Zhongshu bit his ear and found out that this person was named Zhang Xiang, the great-grandson of Zhang Jing. His father also became the lord of Taichang Temple, and he belonged to the fourth generation of officials who deserved his name.

Lin Chengyi said: "It's ready."

Zhang Xiang heard this and said, "Grandmaster, this time it's a big deal. You must never make a difference. If a schoolchild is rude in front of the Grandmaster, your life as a teacher will be over. Do you understand?"

A tutor was scolded in person in front of the student. Lin Chengyi felt humiliated and said, "If there is any such incident, if Young Master Zhang doesn't say it, I will also leave the house by myself."

Zhang Xiang said, "It's good to understand." After that, he left.

After Zhang Xiang left, Lin Chengyi's face was very bad. Mr. Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Young Master Zhang, you are joking with you, sir, don't be like this."

Lin Chengyi shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's more important to welcome the Grand Master."

Then there was a long waiting process.

The first thing to arrive was to find out the errands, which was the one who stood in front of the yamen. These people first went to the society and pointed at them first. They did not follow the rules and made rectifications in the annoying places. They arranged the order for the villagers to receive the officials, and then went to see the noon table and set the seats for the upper, flat tables and water tables.

Later, I sent the villagers to serve the road ahead, preparing tea and pastries for food and drink on the first half. Mr. Zhang also nodded and bowed one by one.

Finally, when I found out the errand, it seemed that I had gotten the door bag given by Mr. Zhang and left with a breeze on my face, but for Lin Yanchao it was another waiting process. Lin Chengyi did not give a lecture, just sat down, and the students could not read books, and they could not do anything to wait.

The boring waiting made the classmates below complain, which really made them wait too long.

It was almost noon, and Mr. Zhang, who was sweating profusely rushed into the lecture hall and said to Lin Chengyi: "Hurry, hurry up, the Grand Master's party is about to arrive at the entrance of the village, you can prepare quickly!"

After hearing this, Lin Chengyi did not dare to neglect her clothes. She tidied up the scarf on her head and stroked the scholar's shirt on her body. The schoolchildren also sorted out their clothes for each other. At this moment, Lin Yanchao saw Zhang Haoyuan and Zhang Guihe, and the students were also a little nervous.

Lin Chengyi led the school children to the gate of the society and welcomed them in accordance with the pre-determined position order.

Lin Yanchao looked at the big Jinshi archway at the entrance of the village from afar. The students were all looking at each other, and then they could hear the sound of the gongs from afar.
