After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

What happened at the lantern riddle party yesterday had already spread throughout Ruian County.

Chen, an old scholar, gambled in public and naturally became the laughing stock of everyone.

Hearing the roar of laughter from the crowd, Chen Laoxiucai blushed.

He was about to refute, but when he raised his head, he saw Huang Tinghui standing not far away.

Chen Laoxiucai must have felt guilty.

How come this child is here?

Even though the lantern riddle party didn't happen, Chen Laoxiucai felt inexplicably guilty when he saw Huang Tinghui.

After all, it was the act of taking someone else's charge and running away overnight.

It's really a bit unbearable.

"Old scholar Chen, are we meeting again?"

"It's true that we are enemies on a narrow road!" Huang Tinghui suppressed his laughter and said to Chen Laoxiucai.

Although it was good that Chen Laoxiucai had tricked him, the thought of Chen Laoxiucai shot himself in the foot.

Huang Tinghui really couldn't bear to hate this guy.

If he lived in later generations, this old scholar Chen would definitely be a very talented comedian.

"Huang Xiaolangjun, I am destined, I am destined!" Since the failure of the Lantern Riddle Festival, Chen Laoxiucai has been much more low-key at this time, and he is not so arrogant.

However, although he kept a low profile, he couldn't help but "curse" Huang Tinghui in his heart.

What kind of fate is this?

This is a bad fate!

"Everyone, eat well, eat well!" Although the old scholar Chen was a little hungry, he looked at the crowd of people looking at him with joking expressions.

Chen Laoxiu is the one who can't eat it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old scholar Chen rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.

When everyone saw this, they naturally burst into laughter again.

"This person has no knowledge and skills, but he has become a scholar. However, after the lantern riddle competition, the old scholar Chen is afraid that he will become a laughing stock!"

"That's just his own fault. He has no talent but wants to gain fame. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

"I heard that this person is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. He is really a scoundrel!"

Some of the students knew the old scholar Chen, but they did not particularly like him in words.

Huang Tinghui was also stunned when he heard everyone's comments.

Thinking of the scoundrel in his predecessor, Huang Tinghui couldn't help but feel that this old scholar Chen was the same as his predecessor.

Although Huang Tinghui had a grudge against the old scholar Chen, after the lantern riddle competition, Huang Tinghui did not want to argue with the old scholar.

Now that the little girl has arrived in the county town, Uncle Erzhu and Aunt Erzhu will also come one after another.

Huang Tinghui is currently focusing on his studies, and it is not easy for him to participate in store preparations.

Just leave it to the little girl, Uncle Erzhu, and Aunt Erzhu to do it.

With Shen Rou, Chen Qiuniang and the others helping, the store should be able to be opened quickly.

Huang Tinghui is not worried either!

Chen Qiuniang dotes on the little girl like a younger sister.

As for Shen Rou?

Just don’t say it!

Even Huang Tinghui had to admit that after meeting him, the little girl seemed to be especially loved by these rich ladies and rich ladies.

Time passed, and Huang Tinghui was busy with articles and classes.

Although reading is a bit boring, it is also quite fulfilling.

If it were before, Huang Tinghui would sleep until three o'clock in the morning before waking up leisurely. However, when he entered Luyang Academy, his changes were huge.

There were not many wealthy young men in Luyang Academy, and those scholars from ordinary families were shocked by Huang Tinghui's "hard work".

Huang Tinghui set off a trend of involution in Luyang Academy.

"Brother Tinghui, go study again. It's too early!"

"Brother Tinghui, remember to go to the dining room and buy two buns with me!"

"Brother Tinghui, I like to drink porridge, you know!"

"Brother Tinghui..."

I have to say that Huang Tinghui is quite likable in the school dormitory.

For example, at this time, these guys can't get up one by one.

They had no choice but to ask Huang Tinghui to buy them some breakfast.

Then you only need to wash up, have breakfast, and go straight to class.

"knew!"

"You guys, your day's plan starts in the morning, get up quickly!"

Huang Tinghui picked up his book bag and said to his roommate.

"Just sleep a little longer and you'll be fine in a while!"

"It's too early. It's a little early. I can still sleep for a while!"

"If you wake up too early, you will doze off in class during the day. If your teacher sees you, you will get a slap in the face!"

The roommates said to Huang Tinghui in a daze one by one.

"I've never seen you take a nap during class!"

"You've got a lot of slaps!" Huang Tinghui smiled, remembering how these guys were caught taking a nap by their husband and got slapped on the palms of their hands.

Huang Tinghui felt extremely refreshed.

Later, everyone asked Huang Tinghui why he worked so hard every day but never took a nap.

Huang Tinghui explained to them that he would not be sleepy if he had the goal of passing the imperial examination.

After all, Huang Tinghui carries more than just his own hopes.

People who have goals will not be hazy.

"I'm leaving!" Huang Tinghui said to the sleeping people.

"Brother Tinghui, don't forget it!"

"Don't forget!"

Drowsy voices came, and these guys were so asleep that they didn't want to open their eyes.

Eat something but never forget it!

"I know!" Huang Tinghui shook his head helplessly, picked up his book bag and walked out.

After the Lantern Festival, the earth returns to spring.

The weather was still a little cool, so Huang Tinghui sat in his seat early.

I carefully pondered Li Baichong's article that he had revised for himself and made it smoother.

Huang Tinghui picked up "The Analects of Confucius" again and started reading "University".

At this time, there were not many people in the school.

Those who can self-study at this time mostly have some self-control.

He also had intentions and desires for the imperial examination.

However, what Huang Tinghui did not expect was that Chen Laoxiucai was uncharacteristically present in the school today.

After looking at the old scholar Chen with some surprise, Huang Tinghui stopped paying any more attention to the old scholar.

After all, I don’t have much to do with him anymore.

On the other hand, Chen Laoxiucai looked at Huang Tinghui's back with complicated thoughts.

If you don't oil your soles, you'll just run away.

This young man with an excellent reputation now may be his disciple.

For some reason, when Old Scholar Chen thought of this, his face started to hurt.

Who would have thought that this young man could solve so many lantern riddles in a row.

Can it be appreciated by the prefect and the county master?
