Seeing Lu Hanqing, Wang Jun thought he had grasped a life-saving straw, but unexpectedly he was severely scolded.
"Lu Jiaoyu, students know their mistakes and should not comment on others' merits without verification. But Chen Mo has violated the law by hurting others, shouldn't he be severely punished?"
While Wang Jun complained and complained, he also cast a look to the side for help.
However, before Qian Song and Qian Bai could speak, Lu Hanqing responded coldly.
"If it was Chen Mo who hurt you, I would have reported it to the official a long time ago. But if it was Chen Jiaoyu who was teaching the students, I'm afraid the county magistrate wouldn't be able to say anything here, right?"
"Chen, Chen Jiaoyu?"
Wang Jun's face changed drastically, showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"How can he be promoted to the imperial edict when he is at the bottom of the county examination? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"It's probably impossible. What you say doesn't count, and what I say doesn't count. If you have any doubts, go find the person who has the final say to verify it."
After Lu Hanqing finished speaking, he walked up to Chen Mo and cupped his hands.
"Chen Jiaoyu, if you don't mind it, you can sit with me later."
"Wan Sheng had this intention, Lu Jiao asked." Chen Mo returned the greeting with a smile.
Late birth?
In front of Lu Jiaoyu, Chen Mo actually called himself a late student instead of a student?
At this time, not only Wang Jun and the Qian brothers, but also Shen Tao, who had been helping Chen Mo speak, changed their faces in shock.
There is only one word difference between "wansheng" and "student".
But for scholars, this is a natural chasm.
Because only among colleagues, those who are less advanced will call themselves late students.
Chen Mo, has he really been promoted to the imperial edict?
Thinking of this, Shen Tao hurriedly chased after him: "The student just didn't know the identity of the teacher, so his words were a bit arrogant. Please forgive me Chen Jiaoyu."
"What did Brother Shen say? We only talk about brotherhood, not student status." Chen Mo waved his hand, "If you have time tomorrow, how about we go back to Donglou Town together?"
"It is a student's honor to be able to accompany the teacher." Shen Tao quickly agreed.
When he was excited, the Qian brothers were miserable.
Looking at Chen Mo, who was chatting and laughing with Lu Hanqing, and then looking at Wang Jun, who was as embarrassed as a dog, both of them almost felt sad.
After looking at each other, they all spat at Wang Jun, and then hurriedly chased Chen Mo to apologize.
It is true that their brothers have already stood out from the county examination and will go to the state capital academy to prepare for the examination in half a month. Logically speaking, there is no need to pay much attention to Chen Mo.
But don’t forget that once they fail the state exam in the future, they will be sent back.
If you still want to continue studying and test for fame, you will inevitably have to deal with Chen Mo, and you really can't afford to offend him.
The worst thing is that Wang Jun originally wanted to make Chen Mo look ugly, but in the end he shot himself in the foot.
I am in a dilemma and at a loss.
"What is Jiaoyu afraid of? Even if he fails in the subsequent state examination, with the power of the family, are you still afraid of him?"
Gritting his teeth, Wang Jun straightened his clothes, licked his swollen face and walked in.
"The magistrate has arrived."
After a while, the county official headed by Wang Anshi arrived, and everyone stood up to greet him.
Wang Anshi's left and right were county magistrate Lu Yuan and county captain Zhang Xiong.
The former seems to be very friendly, while the latter is not angry and intimidating. The only similarity is that they were both students of Baihe Academy before becoming officials.
They were all once students of Lu Hanqing.
Perhaps because of this relationship, the two of them nodded slightly when they looked at Chen Mo.
Maybe it's recognition, or maybe it's just curiosity.
Chen Mo didn't have the time to guess what it was, his eyes always stayed on Wang Anshi, and he guessed right that day, he was the new county magistrate.
Of course, we can't ignore Wang Tan'er behind.
Because today, she didn't wear a veil.
He moves his hands and feet with extraordinary grace.
Chen Mo saw Wang Tan'er twice, once without paying much attention, and the other time with the flickering lights, he could finally see her appearance clearly.
If Qin Xianglian is compared to the orange chrysanthemum of a small family, then Wang Tan'er is the white lotus of the big family, and Hua Meishu, who is capable and capable, is the wild rose.
Three women, each with their own merits, if they could stand together, they would be able to present a living picture of beauty.
Chen Mo Shang was amazed at Wang Tan'er's appearance, not to mention the other students. They all wanted to see but didn't dare to look, and they all seemed restless.
Even Sun Zhe, who came first in the county examination and was said to be a bookworm who only wanted fame and fortune, was attracted by Wang Tan'er at this moment and peeked at her from time to time.
Wang Tan'er has read poetry and books since she was a child, and later traveled extensively with Wang Anshi. Her knowledge far exceeds that of her peers, so she doesn't have any shyness or restraint.
Especially when facing Chen Mo, he acted calmly and generously.
"When we met a few days ago, Tan'er wanted to call him Young Master. When we meet again now, we have to call him Master respectfully." Wang Tan'er was teasing slightly and saluted with a smile.
"It's better to call me Chen Mo. In front of the young lady, I can't bear the word "teaching advice." Chen Mo returned the greeting.
"Okay, I'll call you Chen Mo from now on."
Wang Tan'er nodded with a smile and walked to her seat.
Since it was a dinner held for the county examination, Wang Anshi naturally had to say a few words before starting.
Of course, it's all just talk.
As the food and drinks were served, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
"Brother Jiefu, this dinner is due to the county examination. Isn't it too boring to just chat and drink?" Lu Yuan said from the side.
Wang Anshi nodded: "Brother Lu is right, but do you have any good suggestions?"
"We are all very talented people here. How about we let each of them recite a poem to cheer us up?" Lu Yuan suggested.
"This is a very good suggestion." County Captain Zhang Xiong agreed, "Although today's dinner is mainly about celebration, the drink is actually a farewell wine, so let's use this as the theme."
good!
Wang Anshi nodded and said loudly: "Everyone has heard it. I compose an impromptu poem on the theme of farewell. Who comes first?"
"..."
After this question, there was a sudden silence.
It is not difficult to compose a poem with the theme of farewell, but the difficult part is the word improvisation.
"Why are you so confused now?" Wang Anshi asked.
"Dad, even if you are composing poetry impromptu, it still takes some time." Wang Tan'er answered, signaling to be patient.
"Among the most outstanding students in this county, can't you find someone who is well-spoken?" Wang Anshi shook his head and looked at Chen Mo intentionally or unintentionally.
Noticing his gaze, Wang Jun suddenly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the student heard that Brother Chen was promoted to the teaching department. He must be extremely talented. Why not ask Chen Jiaoyu to come first?"
"..."
After saying this, everyone looked at Chen Mo.
Those with knowledge of the incident knew that this was Wang Jun's revenge.
Those who don't know it are regarded as asking for advice.
In short, Chen Mo couldn't escape.
"Chen Mo, what do you think?" Wang Anshi asked with a smile.
"Being respectful is not as good as obeying orders, so I'll make a show."
Chen Mo responded, and at the same time he stood up, there were poems forming in his mouth.
