Chapter fifty-six: stay

"If you know it, do it?"

Seeing the title on the plaque, the students couldn't help but bulge their eyes: This is a question!

One of these two sentences comes from "Xunzi" and the other comes from "Three Remarks of Yan Zi".

In previous years, the questions presented by the local essay club were basically just the norm and not too difficult. This year, I would like to just start a question.

Needless to say, the topic must be given by two masters of the judges, each with a strong college style. When studying in college, lecturers like to give such questions the most, letting students do the questions.

The problem is that less than one-third of the students in the Sixteen Townships can go to the college to be an increase in the number of students. Or they have taken classes but only had a few classes, or more than ten classes are not coherent and have many loopholes in knowledge.

This is an obvious thing. Students who are confident in doing a good job in the test are basically confident that they will take the exam.

Wang Fu held the pen and looked at the white paper spreading on the table with his eyes curled. After staring for a while, he finally got depressed. He put the pen and ink and rolled up the paper - the amount of newly issued paper and ink was higher than in the morning, and another welfare subsidy was recorded.

Wang Xing next to him scratched his ears and cheeks, frowned, and looked unwilling to give up.

His family background is much more wealthy than Wang Fu, so he wanted to take a try and write something on the paper to hand it over. Maybe the blind cat met a dead mouse and was attracted by the Master...

Wang Fu shook his head and thought to himself that young people are young people, innocent.

He turned to look at Chen Tang on the other side, and saw that he was writing hard, writing constantly.

Wang Fu had already accepted the fact that Chen Tang's transformation was not Wu Xia Ameng in his heart. Since he had no chance, he certainly hoped that this opportunity would fall on people he knew.

So he thought, and was bored when he sat down, so he simply lay on the table and got up.

Looking around, there were more than Wang Fu sleeping. Some even snores.

The afternoon's verse assessment will take a long time, a full one and a half hours.

When the sun began to set westward, the man with red scarf came to the square, ringed the gong, signaling that the time was up, and the winding was closed.

The review also started immediately, with more than 30 articles in total, not small in number, but most of them were of concern, and many articles even had only a single beginning and disappeared behind them. So they glanced at them and threw them aside.

In a short while, the two masters eliminated more than ten articles.

After about a quarter of an hour, ten articles that could win the award were selected, and the next step was to rank the rankings, and there was no difficult dispute.

The result was announced soon, and the leader was Chen Tang, who received a reward of 1,000 yuan.

After a while, all the framed paintings, as well as the award-winning classics, were displayed for all students to appreciate.

Many students rushed up to watch. They were full of doubts and wanted to make trouble, but after seeing it, they were silent and speechless.

As the saying goes: Don’t be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods. Chen Tang’s paintings and articles are truly unique and make people unable to find any problems.

After watching, many students had already gathered around Chen Tang, and led him to form a circle.

It is true that literati are despised, and there are indeed people who are dissatisfied in the field, but there is no hatred between them. They will not jump out from time to time to make the passers-by A, B, C and D so that Chen Tang can slap in the face.

The village literary gathering ended here, but there was a sumptuous dinner to entertain many scholars who were not rewarded and let go of their stomachs to eat.

According to convention, those who compete in the top three in the classics are qualified to sit on the table of the squire and drink with the men. The rewarded works are collected by the organizers of that year, which is a formal compensation. After all, the villages of each session have to spend a lot of extra money.

After dinner, while it was not dark, everyone said goodbye and went home.

"Chen Xiucai, please stay."

Chen Tang was about to go back in the ox cart with Wang Fu's uncle and nephew, and Mr. Hu's cry came from behind.

Chen Tangxin moved, greeted him and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Hu has to give?"

Mr. Hu sighed: "I came here to apologize to you."

Chen Tang asked: "How can I explain this?"

Mr. Hu said: "Xi'er is naughty. In class, she was very troubled and tricked her husband. I'm so sad. Alas..."

The "Xi'er" he said was naturally not happy.

A girl who was extremely evil in her face and figure immediately appeared in Chen Tang's mind, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Hu doesn't have to blame himself. It's because I have no guidance and have not done my duty as a teacher."

Mr. Hu waved his hand and said, "I know very well my Xier's character, so it's better not to say it. Thank you, Chen Xiucai is broad-minded and doesn't care about her. Well, if you have free time in the future, I'll invite Chen Xiucai to visit the village."

Chen Tang was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Mr. Hu was here to invite him to go now. It seemed that was not the case at all.

The so-called "to be a guest in the future" is mostly a kind of polite words that ends the topic. He didn't say much, bowed his hand, got on the ox cart, and returned to Chenjia Village.

Mr. Hu watched the ox cart walk away, and suddenly waved his hand, and immediately a famous man with red scarf came.

"Asan, please give those calligraphy and painting articles to the lady immediately."

"yes."

After hearing the instructions, the man in red scarf quickly turned around and went to do it.

...

Chen Tang won the title of the village cultural association, which was something that Chenjia Village had never seen before. Although it was just a reward and reputation of a non-governmental organization, it was extremely rare and gratifying. The village chief of Chenjia Village who attended the meeting came back drunk and looked excited, saying that Chen Tang gave him and Chenjia Village a big face, gratifying.

The next day, the village chief asked people to kill pigs and sheep, and held a banquet in the village to invite all the villagers to dinner.

Chen Tang knew that the village chief wanted to make favors for him, but he did not refuse. He received more than a thousand bonuses, so he gave them three hundred dollars to his teacher Chen Song's house, handed them to his teacher's wife, and asked her to subsidize the family income.

When the teacher was in a funeral, Chen Tang was in a difficult position and only had eleven cents of silk and gold. Now that he was rich, he would make up one.

After a social event, Chen Tang packed his luggage, carried a bookcase, said goodbye to the villagers, and prepared to return to Panzhou Prefecture.

The weather is good today, and the wind is beautiful.

Chen Tang did not hire a car, but just walked as a training session. Now his pace is more steady and light, and his speed of travel has greatly improved. Calculated, he can enter the city in more than a moment.

Get it!

There was a rapid running sound on the road, and someone shouted from behind: "Chen Xiucai, Xiucai Chen, please stay!"
