There are child prodigy in this world. Some people can write good poems at the age of five or six; some people can recite the entire sutra articles at the age of five or six; some people can become scholars at the age of ten or eight...

But in Chen Tang, he has never been involved in the word "child prodigy".

How could a person who even took the boy exam three times before passing the exam can be called a "child prodigy"?

Chen Tang spent a short time to study in the college, only a few days; and this was his first time to enter the college as an adult.

So in the eyes of Mr. Wang and others, Chen Tang was almost linked to poor students and did not have much presence in class. Except for his pretty face, he had no other performance.

But in today's class, Chen Tang talked about it and made a big splash in his speech. If he knew the entire meaning of the "Three Treatises of Xunzi", he would probably be a lecturer in the college.

After hearing Chen Tang's answer, Master Wang rubbed his beard with satisfaction and praised: "Good."

The meaning of praise is beyond words. You must know that among so many masters, it is extremely difficult to get praise from him.

Chen Tang sat down with a calm expression, feeling that he did not perform well, which was very ordinary.

He spent a lot of money to study in the college, and aimed directly at the exam, so he must have passed the exam. If he didn't even perform well in class, what else would he talk about?

Although Chen Tang was thinking about something else just now and was absent from the crowd, for him, there was no problem in using it both at the same time.

Seeing this, Master Wang felt even more approving and said in his heart: This son is not surprised by his favor and disgrace, but he has a bit of temperament...

There are many students in the college, but it is not easy to leave a good impression in the mind of the Master. Most of them are those with excellent qualifications who receive this treatment.

In a word, students with good grades will always get the preference of their teachers.

Scholars have small exams every year. The grades are too bad and they may be deprived of fame. The scholar Chen Tang took the exam last year once had small exams, but the grades can only be considered average and there is no outstanding point. At that time, he was so poor that he could not even go to the college. Except for his slight advantage in age, he was really dull in other aspects.

In today's lesson, Chen Tang's performance can definitely be regarded as a "sudden force".

After class, many classmates came over to greet each other with a warm expression on their faces. Looking back on that day, Chen Tang took the initiative to find them, and most of them received lukewarm responses. In comparison, it was really different.

This is true for human feelings.

Chen Tang has a clear understanding of people's hearts and has nothing to blame. In the final analysis, it is still a circle problem. If you don't have the corresponding skills, you can't get into other people's circles. Being rejected does not mean you are looked down upon, but you are not qualified.

Tao Hao came over and sighed, "I'm not proud of you, you're so hard for me. It turns out that you have the ability to remember everything you see, and the day you're just around the corner."

On the road to imperial examinations, the most important thing is memory. This talented student will not have much problem getting into an juren.

Tao Hao looked envious. He had a bad memory, and as he grew older, he declined even more. This is the root cause of the many old students getting worse and worse as they took the exam. Age is often an advantage.

Chen Tang is expected to pass the imperial examination, so Tao Hao, who borrowed the notes, naturally has to get it close. If he waited until he passed the imperial examination, his relationship would be different.

"Hehe, Brother Mingjing, I have to say that I have to thank you for borrowing the notes."

The two of them made some polite decisions, left the academy and went home to have dinner.

Chen Tang originally wanted to treat Tao Hao to a meal, but he had no choice but to give Zhan Yangchun 100 money last night. He was short of money and was not good at treating him, so he put it aside. After a few days, he would invite him to Sihailou after he had a new entry.

Tao Hao was very enthusiastic about treating him to dinner, but Chen Tang declined. After reading other people's notes, although it was a clear transaction, the favors of scholars were never calculated that way. If you eat Tao Hao's meal again, it would be even harder to say.

When passing Hanmo Street, the yamen runners had already withdrawn. They looked quiet and elegant, and nothing seemed to have happened.

However, the news of Wu Han and Zhu Xiucai's death had long been spread, and the whole street seemed even more desolate and deserted. Some shops closed their doors and there were no stalls on the street. I guess they were afraid, so I quickly changed the place.

It is not easy to support a family, but life is more important.

At noon, the sun shone brightly, and under the light, it was blocked by the dense branches and leaves of old locust trees. The ground was densely projected and the light spots were swaying. I used to think the environment here is quite good, but today I have something to worry about, but I feel that it is yin and qi.

"Can there be some old locust tree that has become a spirit..."

Chen Tang thought to himself, looking around, seeing that the trunk of this tree is a bit distorted, which is suspicious; seeing that the tree is lush with canopy, which is quite suspicious...

I returned to my doorstep all the way and saw the tree next to my house even more suspicious, because there was a hole in the waist of the huge tree trunk. From below, I looked dark and faint, and I didn’t know what was alive inside.

"Brother Bujin, what are you looking at?"

Su Ling's crisp voice came. She guessed the time, but she had never seen Chen Tang go home, so she couldn't help but go out to take a look. She saw Chen Tang standing under the tree, holding her head up, like a dumb goose, and I don't know how long she had been watching here.

Chen Tang laughed dryly and pointed to the tree hole: "I wonder, will there be a bird's nest there?"

Su Ling immediately said, "Then I climbed up and took a look. I climbed the tree very quickly. I took out a lot of bird eggs and cooked them for eating."

Chen Tang had eaten this bird egg at that time, and it was all given by a girl. When he saw Su Ling rolling up her sleeves, he was about to climb a tree, so he quickly grabbed it: "A Ling, how many times have you told you. We have entered the city, it's different from the past."

After being held back, Su Ling's heart was pounding, her face turned red, and she whispered: "Brother Wu Jin didn't let me climb trees, so I won't climb."

Chen Tang said: "It's not that I don't allow you to climb trees, but there may be bird nests or snake nests in the tree holes, which are very dangerous."

Seeing that he was tightly attached to him, Su Ling felt even more happy.

The two of them were about to enter the house when they saw several people coming from the other side of the street. The leader was Mr. Zhao San. He was walking next to him. Isn’t it that Zhan Yangchun who just separated last night? Two men in costume were followed behind him.

"Chen Xiucai, I'm here to bother you again."

From afar, Zhan Yangchun shouted.

Mr. Zhao sprinted over and said loudly: "Scholar Chen, you have not seen each other for many days, and you are getting more and more energetic."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "You are here at this time. Are you here to treat me to a meal?"

"good."

Mr. Zhao was simply speaking. Two men behind him raised their hands, one carried two large pieces of good meat, the other was holding a jar of wine, and two bundles of vegetables:

"We come here without invitation and bring our own wine and food, so we have to trouble your sister."

Chen Tang was not polite either and asked Su Ling to take the things, take them back to the kitchen, wash the rice again, and start cooking.

Everyone sat in the hall with the guest and host. Chen Tang asked straight to the point and directly: "Third Master, Taoist Master, are you here for the murder?"
