Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 277 Wen Yanjing’s envy
"Ze Cheng thought highly of me and allowed me to come to his home to study. How could I live up to Ze Cheng's kindness?" Wen Yanjing said with a smile.

"Brother Shigao, you are serious."

Sheng Changbai smiled and introduced Sheng Changfeng to Wen Yanjing.

Wen Yanjing greeted him warmly. Sheng Changfeng looked at Wen Yanjing's clothes and had no interest in making friends. He dealt with it in a moderate manner and continued reading, which made Wen Yanjing a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Sheng Changbai hurriedly said: "Shigao, please sit behind Zi Qian. I will have someone bring you books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

"Thank you!" Wen Yanjing cupped his hands and thanked him, then sat down in his seat.

Sheng Changfeng's attitude did make him a little embarrassed and angry at first.

However, Wen Yanjing quickly calmed down. Sheng Changfeng's attitude was the attitude that a noble son should have when facing someone like him.

On the contrary, people like Sheng Changbai are like outliers.

Sheng Changbai asked his bookboy to bring some commonly used books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones to Wen Yanjing.

Listening to Zhuang Xuexue's narration, he knew which paragraph he was talking about and quickly turned to that page.

Wen Yanjing stood up, bowed respectfully, and said, "That's right, the student."

Everyone has a different way of teaching, and he doesn't know which aspect Wen Yanjing learns well. Teaching indiscriminately, as he said, is not a good thing.

"I've seen Zhuang Xuexue!" The four of them stood up and saluted.

In this class, Zhuang Xuexue taught "The Great Learning", and he didn't start from the beginning.

Xuexue Zhuang nodded slightly, asked them to sit down, looked at Wen Yanjing at the end, and said, "Are you the student named Wen Yanjing that Zicheng mentioned?"

"Well, sit down."

"I don't know much about what you have learned. It's only half a month before the provincial examination. It's not a good thing for you to teach you now. You can only listen to what I teach you." Zhuang Xuexue said.

Wen Yanjing felt as if just a while passed and the class was over.

"Wen Yanjing, come with me." Zhuang Xuexue said.

"Congratulations to Zhuang Xuexue."

As soon as the arrangements were made, Zhuang Xuexue came.

"Students understand!" Wen Yanjing said.

"Second brother, where did you find this man?" Sheng Changfeng asked doubtfully.

"Yes!" Wen Yan responded respectfully and followed.

Xuexue Zhuang asked Wen Yanjing to sit down, cleared his throat, and began to lecture.

It's not that Zhuang Xuexue has any objections to Wen Yanjing.

Wen Yanjing listened attentively to the whole class. Although he had learned all these before, Zhuang Xuexuo's explanation was more detailed than what his teacher said, which made him a little addicted to it.

However, these did not affect Wen Yanjing. Although he could not memorize the Four Books and Five Classics backwards and forwards, he could basically memorize them.

"We met yesterday when we signed up," Sheng Changbai said.

After coming back to his senses, Wen Yanjing stood up and saluted with Li An and the others.

"You asked the man you met yesterday to come to your home to study? The fourth sister wants to beg her father to go back to school to continue studying. How can my father agree to this?" Sheng Changfeng said.

Previously, Sheng Hong did not allow Mo Lan and the others to continue studying because there were foreign men in the school.

Now that Qi Heng is gone and Li An is half a family member, these problems no longer exist.

However, Mo Lan wanted to study in the school because of Qi Heng's existence.

Now that Qi Heng is gone, she doesn't have much interest anymore.

But recently I heard that Mrs. Sheng was going to hire someone to teach some girls how to behave. Mo Lan didn't want to go and was arguing with Miss Lin to come to the school to study.

As a result, before taking any action, Sheng Changbai actually hired an outsider to borrow the book. How could Sheng Hong agree to it?

Sheng Changbai heard the complaint in Sheng Changfeng's tone and ignored him, just reading the book.

When class was about to begin, Wen Yanjing came back. After some questioning, it turned out that Zhuang Xuexue came to him to test his talents.

As for Zhuang Xuexue, although he was invited by Sheng Hong to teach the Sheng brothers, he was very dedicated to the students who studied with him.

Although he told Wen Yanjing that he would teach Wen Yanjing what to listen to, he still called Wen Yanjing over and learned about what he had learned.

There is one more person in the school, and it is no different from usual.

After teaching for a few days, Zhuang Xuexue appreciated Wen Yanjing even more.

Wen Yanjing has a very solid foundation. Although he is not as knowledgeable as Sheng Changbai and others in terms of articles, he has his own opinions.

From Zhuang's academic point of view, if Wen Yanjing has devoted himself to studying for several years, there should not be a big problem with being named on the gold list.

As the date of the rural examination is getting closer, the topic of the rural examination has even overshadowed the battle for the crown prince.

Of course, this is only among the people. After all, it is just a provincial examination, not a general examination. The princes in the court will naturally pay more attention to it.

And when there were still three days left before the provincial examination, when school was over, Zhuang Xuexue said: "Studying requires a balance between work and rest. Now there are still three days before the provincial examination. Starting from tomorrow, the school will be suspended. You can go out for a walk, or you can Read a book at home to relax your tense nerves.”

"Yes." Everyone responded.

To be honest, I was really nervous about their nervousness during this period.

Although the rest was not cancelled, as the provincial examination got closer, they became more and more nervous. Even Sheng Changbai, who had a calm temperament, read until late at night before falling asleep every day.

I heard that Mrs. Wang was very distressed about this.

Li An is similar. If he fails the provincial examination, he will have to wait until four years for the next general examination.

Although Li An was only twenty at that time, the thought of having to study hard for several years gave Li An a headache.

Now, if you work hard and pass the provincial examination, you will be able to take the national examination next year. If you are lucky, you will pass the exam in one try, even if you are in the top three, you will not have to study so hard.

After saying goodbye to the Sheng brothers, Li An and Wen Yanjing walked out together.

"Master Li!"

When I came to the front yard, I suddenly heard a shout.

Li An looked around and saw Xiao Tao holding a baggage in his hand and trotting over from the corner door on the side.

"Master Li, these are two sets of clothes my girl made for you." Xiao Tao said.

Li An glanced at the corner door where Xiao Tao came out, and seemed to see a figure passing by. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, took the baggage, and said, "Go back and thank your girl for me."

"Master Li, there is another one."

Xiaotao took out a purse from her sleeve and said, "This purse was also embroidered by the girl herself. Inside it is the peace charm that the girl went to the Taoist temple to ask for."

Li An took the purse and looked at it carefully.

The purse is embroidered with a Clivia in full bloom, and in the gap between the petals, there is a faint word "An".

Li An smiled slightly, put the purse away, and said with a smile: "Tell your girl, I like this purse very much."

"Yes." Xiao Tao responded, bowed and left.

"Zi Qian, I'm a little envious of you." Wen Yanjing said in a sour tone.

During this time when they were studying in the same class, Wen Yanjing also learned a lot about Li An.

At first glance, Ang Lee’s experience seems somewhat similar to his.

They all come from ordinary backgrounds and want to change their destiny through reading.

But Li An had much better luck than him. Not long after he started studying, his parents started doing business and made money. The teacher he studied under was a student in Yangzhou, not to mention politics, and he was promoted to Beijing and became a Beijing official.

Later, he even made a marriage arrangement with the Sheng family. Now it seems that he and the girl from the Sheng family are still in love with each other.

The teacher's father-in-law is both an official. Although his rank is not very high, with their help, at least when he first entered the officialdom, his official career was smooth.

How could Wen Yanjing not be envious?
