Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 62 Thank Me for What?
Chen Heng thought about it all night, but he couldn't come up with a very reasonable solution.Once you add factors such as identity, position, and persuasiveness to the countless thoughts in your mind, it will be difficult to be convincing.

After thinking about it again and again, he decided to inquire about Daiyu's younger brother's situation through the letter first, and told her subtly that there is still a master Xu with excellent medical skills in the academy.

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

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised that Master Xu was the master who led the reading today.

"Who damaged the notice board in the courtyard?" Mei Xuezheng entered the hall with a murderous look, "Damaged the academy's items for no reason. I think you all read too little on weekdays and fell ill. Who did it? Did you stand up by yourself, or let me find it."

Chen Heng, who knew who the murderer was, couldn't help but feel bad in his heart.

The others were about to shake their heads to show their innocence.Xin Suzhao got up fearlessly, "Master, you don't need to look for it, I was the one who broke it."

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

Xin Suzhao just nodded and didn't answer, putting on a posture of wanting to kill or killing.

There were murmurs of discussion among the crowd. Seeing this, Mei Xuezheng coughed, pointed at Xin Suzhao and said, "You follow me as a teacher, this time I will punish you properly."

When the two went out, they bumped into Xu Jinhou who came in.Master Xu had no friendship with Mei Xuezheng. Although it was strange why Xin Suzhao fell into the other party's hands, Mei Jin was also Xuezheng after all and had the right to manage the academy, so Xu Jinhou didn't care.

After Master Xu came in, he just told everyone to take back their thoughts and continue to read the Four Books and Five Classics aloud.

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

After the Four Books and Five Classics class, because of the division of classes in the exam last month, all the students who passed the exam in Class A had to get up and go to the lecture hall, and the head of the mountain, Pei Huaizhen, would start teaching in person.

When Chen Heng followed Cui Youdao and the others into the classroom, he found that Mr. Xiucai was also attending class with them.

Pei Huaizhen's first lecture was on policy theory, from the entrance examination to the imperial examination, the topic of policy theory would run through it all the way, and all the chief examiners, including the emperor, attached great importance to the excellence of policy theory.

However, it is necessary to write policy theory with substance and convincing, but it is a test of scholars' understanding and mastery of knowledge.

After all, it was only the first lesson, and Pei Huaizhen didn't come up with an analysis of the topics made by previous champions.Instead, it clarifies the origin, inheritance, and transformation of policy theory one by one, where allusions can be used, and where should be subtle.

On the way of explaining these, the head of the mountain will give some examples along the way, extracting the essence of some examination papers for students to ponder.

As the No. [-] scholar personally selected by the Supreme Emperor, Shan Zhang's literary talents are already top-notch in the world.The knowledge that has been learned in many books is also full of wit and wit in his narration.

It's really strange, Chen Heng couldn't help but wonder, Shan Chang could teach the lectures so well, why did he make people drowsy when he lectured "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian" alone.

Could it be that they were treated as stone monkeys to test everyone's understanding?
Unable to understand the reason, Chen Heng could only concentrate on listening to the lectures. He had a habit left over from his previous life when he was listening to the lectures. He loved to take notes, and he did them in great detail.

In addition, he has an excellent memory in his life. Usually, when he returns to the dormitory after class, he will take out his notes, recall what the teacher said and continue to add and divide the key points.

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

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

"Okay." Pei Huaizhen didn't pay attention to them, and smiled, "Three months later, when a newcomer is selected into Class A, some of you will come up and explain what the teacher said today."

This, this, what is this called!Everyone was astonished, all dumbfounded.

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

Everyone still dared to hesitate, they had used eighty percent of their energy before, but now they had to show twelve percent of their energy.

Until the end, except for drinking water, the mountain chief didn't make too many pauses.Afterwards, everyone walked out of the lecture hall in a daze, thinking that in three months, some unlucky ones among them would be selected.

A group of people couldn't help but gather in the corridor to exchange their experiences in this class.At this time, I don't care about who is the scholar and who is the little boy.Everyone said something to each other, and the discussion was very exciting.

It's a pity that when Chen Heng wanted to speak several times, he was robbed of the conversation.After listening for a while, he faintly noticed something.So he didn't stay any longer, just went back to the dormitory with his notes in his arms.

As soon as he went back, Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai surrounded him, they were very interested in the contents of Class A.Chen Heng didn't hide his secrets, he just told them that when he sorted out his thoughts, he would tell them what he could tell tonight.

"Okay, brother Heng, from now on, you and I will be united in Jinlan." Jiang Yuanbai held Chen Heng's hands sincerely, and said emotionally, "I recognize you as my younger brother, and you call me big brother. From now on, my younger brother is the only one who will follow me."

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

"Then I'll be wronged, and I'll be your big brother." Qian Dayou snorted a few times, "From now on Brother Heng says the moon is in the sky, so I'll cover my eyes and pretend it's dark."

Xue Biao, who was worrying about the painting class in the afternoon, couldn't listen any longer, and laughed beside him, "Brother Heng, you're about to say that 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 younger brother, you are really a man of gods, it will be dark no matter how dark it is."

Chen Heng was still holding back, rolling up his sleeves while laughing and chasing after the two of them.

In the afternoon, there was another nine-chapter class, followed by Go, and the busy day was almost over here.

Chen Heng took the time to come to the gymnasium, opened the cabinet and touched it with his hand, Chen Heng couldn't help frowning, why the things inside are still soft?
It can't be something like a snake crawling in.

Startled by his own thoughts, Chen Heng quickly retracted his hands and took half a step back.After waiting for a while, I dared to lean over and look in.

I saw an osmanthus cake inside, and there was a book under the cake.

This girl, why did you bring me some snacks.

Chen Heng took out the things, but this book was "Salt and Iron Theory" which he had read a little at Lin's house.

After looking through the books, I found out the letter that Daiyu had kept.Letter: In August, sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. I would like to invite my brother to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to thank my brother for his care during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gu Quan?What am I taking care of?Chen Heng raised his body stupidly, unable to understand the meaning of Daiyu's words.But it didn't affect him to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he took off a piece and put it in his mouth, it was really soft and delicious.

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

Dad has already promised his elder brother to come to the house to borrow books, "Salt and Iron Theory" can be read slowly by his elder brother, and his younger sister still has father's commentary on this book in his hand, if his elder brother needs it, his younger sister will bring it along with him next time.

Why can't these two things be put together.What if I forget to look at the back?Chen Heng rubbed his head, thinking of his plan, he had no choice but to write back in the letter against his will.

My sister is really thoughtful, my brother just heard Master Xu said today that the daily diet should be in accordance with the seasons.When it comes to our master Xu, my sister probably doesn't know, but I heard that he is known as the "three masterpieces of calligraphy, painting, and medicine".

After writing a letter with hidden scheming but not deliberate intentions, Chen Heng checked it repeatedly like an exam, and then stuffed it back into the cabinet with satisfaction.

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

Does he have a book to read tonight?

But tonight another strange thing happened.

Just as Chen Heng was telling Qian Dayou and others the day's lesson, a voice called him suddenly came from outside.Chen Heng didn't 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 seldom met in private.

"This is at noon, I listened to what they said and took notes in the corridor. You were away, so I made a copy and sent it to you." Du Datou was still speaking stiffly.

"Say hello to Su Zhao for me." Du Datou raised his head and cupped his hands, stuffed the note into Chen Heng's arms, and left under the moonlight.

He didn't bother to say a word, Chen Heng looked at Du Yunjing who was coming and going in a hurry, so he couldn't laugh or cry.

　It's so fast, I turned around and suddenly found that the second volume was almost finished, hahahahahaha,
