Chapter 62 What Are You Thanking Me For?

Chen Heng thought about it all night, but he couldn't come up with a very reasonable solution. Once the identity, position, persuasiveness and other factors were added to the myriad thoughts in his mind, it was difficult to convince people.

He thought again and again, and decided to first inquire about Daiyu's brother's situation through the letter, and subtly tell her that there was a master Xu with superb medical skills in the academy.

Rushing to the academy with a somewhat helpless mood, Chen Heng and others had just sat down, but Mei Xuezheng appeared at the door with a cold face.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, the teacher who led the reading today should be Master Xu.

"Who damaged the notice board in the courtyard?" Mei Xuezheng walked into the hall with murderous intent, "You damaged the academy's items for no reason. I think you don't read too much on weekdays and you are sick. Who did it? Come forward yourself, or let me find it."

Chen Heng, who knew who the murderer was, couldn't help but think that it was bad.

Others were about to shake their heads to prove their innocence. Xin Suzhao stood up fearlessly, "Master, you don't need to look for it, I am the one who broke it."

Mei Jin was stunned and said, "Why is it you?!"

Xin Suzhao just nodded and didn't answer, pretending to be ready to kill or chop him up.

There was a low discussion in the crowd. Seeing this, Mei Xuezheng cleared his throat and pointed at Xin Suzhao and said, "You come with me. I will punish you well this time."

When the two of them went out, they ran into Xu Jinhou who came in. Master Xu and Mei Xuezheng didn't have much friendship. Although he was surprised why Xin Suzhao fell into the hands of the other party, Mei Jin was the schoolmaster after all and had the power to manage the academy, so Xu Jinhou didn't care.

After Master Xu came in, he just shouted to everyone to put their minds back and continued to read the Four Books and Five Classics.

This class was only halfway through, and Xin Suzhao came back as if nothing had happened. Chen Heng looked at his expression, and it didn't look like he was scolded by Mei Xuezheng.

After the Four Books and Five Classics class, because of the class division of the exam last month, all the students who passed the A class had to get up and go to the lecture hall, and the headmaster Pei Huaizhen began to teach in person.

When Chen Heng followed Cui Youdao and others into the lecture hall, he found that there was also a scholar in the class with them.

Pei Huaizhen's first lecture was on policy essays. From the beginning of the college examination to the palace examination, the policy essay question will run through the whole process. All the chief examiners, including the emperor, attach great importance to the excellence of policy essays.

However, writing policy essays with substance and convincingness is a great test of the scholars' understanding and mastery of knowledge.

After all, it was only the first lesson, and Pei Huaizhen did not analyze the questions written by the previous champions. Instead, he explained the beginning, development, transition and conclusion of the policy essay one by one, where to use allusions and where to express profound ideas.

While explaining these, the headmaster would give some examples and extract the essence of some test papers for students to ponder.

As the top scholar selected by the emperor himself, the headmaster's literary talent is already first-class in the world. He has also served as the chief minister and governed in front of the emperor. He has also personally experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom. Many books have learned knowledge, and his narration is also interesting.

It's really strange. Chen Heng couldn't help wondering, the headmaster can obviously teach the class so well, why only when he was talking about "Records of the Grand Historian" and "Zizhi Tongjian", people were drowsy.

Could it be that he treated them as stone monkeys and tested everyone's understanding?

Unable to figure out the reason, Chen Heng could only concentrate on listening. When he listened to the class, he had a habit left over from his previous life, and he loved to take notes, and he did it very carefully.

In addition, he had an excellent memory in this life. Generally, after class, he would return to the dormitory and take out his notes, and then recall what the teacher said to continue to supplement and divide the key points.

"Did you understand what I just said?" Pei Huaizhen asked everyone.

"I understand, Shanzhang." Everyone did not dare to hesitate and answered in unison.

"Okay." Pei Huaizhen did not question them and smiled, "Three months later, when new people are selected for Class A, one of you will come up and explain what I said today."

What is this? Everyone was shocked and stunned.

Pei Huaizhen ignored them and said, "Let's continue..."

Everyone dared not hesitate. They had used eight points of effort, but now they had to use twelve points of effort.

Until the end, Shanzhang did not make too many pauses except for drinking water. Afterwards, everyone walked out of the lecture hall in a daze, thinking that three months later, one of them would be unlucky enough to be selected.

A group of people could not help but gather in the corridor to exchange their experiences of this class. At this time, they did not care who was the scholar and who was the little boy. Everyone talked one after another, and the discussion was not very exciting.

Unfortunately, Chen Heng wanted to speak several times, but was interrupted by others. He listened for a while and realized something. He didn't stay any longer and went back to the dormitory with his notes.

As soon as he returned, Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai surrounded him. They were very interested in the content of Class A. Chen Heng didn't hide anything and just told them that he would tell them everything he could tonight after he sorted out his thoughts.

"Okay, brother Heng, from now on, you and I will be sworn brothers." Jiang Yuanbai held Chen Heng's hands sincerely and said emotionally, "I recognize you as my brother, you call me big brother, and from now on I will follow your lead."

What a mess, Chen Heng shook his head and threw his hand away in disgust.

"Then I will also be wronged and be your big brother." Qian Dayou hummed a few times, "In the future, when brother Heng says the moon is in the sky, I will cover my eyes and pretend it's dark."

Xue Ke, who was worried about the painting class in the afternoon, couldn't bear to listen any more and laughed, "Brother Heng, you said it's getting dark."

Jiang Yuanbai immediately went forward to cover Qian Dayou's eyes. Qian Dayou stretched out his hands, explored forward, and said anxiously, "My third brother, is he really a god? How can it get dark so quickly?"

Chen Heng couldn't hold it back, and rolled up his sleeves while laughing and chasing the two of them.

There was another Nine Chapters class in the afternoon, and then there was a Go class, so the busy day was almost over.

Chen Heng hurried to the Tiren Hall, opened the cabinet and touched it with his hand. Chen Heng couldn't help but frowned. Why was the thing inside still soft?

Could it be that a snake or something crawled in?

Chen Heng was frightened by his own thoughts and quickly retracted his hand and stepped back half a step. After waiting for a while, he dared to lean over and look inside.

There was a piece of osmanthus cake inside, and a book was pressed under the osmanthus cake.

This girl, why did she bring me snacks?

Chen Heng took out the things, and the book turned out to be "Salt and Iron Theory" which he had read a little at Lin's house. He couldn't hold back, and was so happy that he almost cheered.

He flipped through the books and found the letter that Daiyu had put in. The letter said: August is the month when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. I specially invite my brother to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to thank my brother for his consideration during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Consideration? What did I consider? Chen Heng was so stupid that he couldn't figure out what Daiyu meant. But it didn't affect his tasting of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. He picked a piece and put it in his mouth. It was indeed soft and delicious.

Turning the letter to the back, Daiyu actually wrote something.

Daddy has promised my brother to come to our house to borrow books. My brother can read "Salt and Iron Theory" slowly. My sister also has my father's annotations on this book in her hand. If my brother needs it, my sister will bring it together next time.

Why can't these two things be put together? What if I forget to read the back? Chen Heng touched his head, thought of his own calculations, and had to write against his will in the reply letter.

My sister is really thoughtful. I just heard from Master Xu today that daily diet should be in accordance with the season. Speaking of our Master Xu, I am afraid that my sister does not know that he is known as the "three best in calligraphy, painting, and medicine". In...

After writing a letter that was scheming but not deliberate, Chen Heng repeatedly checked it as if it were an exam, and then stuffed it back into the cabinet with satisfaction.

After doing these things, he ran back to the dormitory happily with a sponge cake in one hand and a salt and iron theory in the other.

He will have a book to read tonight.

But another strange thing happened tonight.

Just when Chen Heng was telling Qian Dayou and others about the day's class, a voice suddenly came from outside calling him. Chen Heng did not dare to hesitate and immediately stood up and walked out.

Who would have thought that when he opened the door, it turned out to be Du Yunjing, who rarely met in private.

"This is what I wrote down in the corridor at noon. You were away, so I copied a copy for you." Du Datou still spoke stiffly. He was here to do good things, but he sounded like he was seeking revenge.

"Say hello to Su Zhao for me." Du Datou raised his head and bowed, stuffed the notes into Chen Heng's arms, and left in the moonlight.

Without saying a word, Chen Heng looked at Du Yunjing who was in a hurry, and could only laugh and cry on the spot.

It's so fast, I suddenly found that the second volume was almost finished when I looked back, hahahahahaha,
