"Come in!" Lin Chang's voice came from the study, and the teacher's wife also came out from the main room, and said with a gentle smile: "Xin'er is here, let's eat here at noon."

Lin Chang has only one son, who has been studying in Jinyang Mansion, and rarely returns home several times a year.So the teacher's wife treats Xin'er like her own son.Luo Xin hurriedly greeted his wife, and then said:

"My mother has already prepared the meal, and I have something to ask the teacher."

"Go, go!" The teacher's wife still smiled gently.

Luo Xin came to the study and saluted Lin Chang: "Teacher."

"What's the matter?" Lin Chang looked up from the book.

"Teacher, do you know about the Wendou in the two counties?"

"I heard that Zhouzhi County has sent a letter, asking me to go to the county seat in the next few days. I just want to tell you that my teacher can't give you lectures these days. You should practice more."

"Yes!" Luo Xin replied respectfully.

"Just for this?" A faint smile appeared on Lin Chang's face.

"Yes! Brother Hao De came here today to inform the disciple that the date of Wendou will be at the end of the month, and asked the disciple to go to the county to find him one day in advance. The disciple thought this was also an opportunity to learn, so he agreed."

Lin Chang smiled and said, "Yes, this is a grand literary event in the two counties. It's good to go and see it."

"It is said that scholars from the surrounding counties, including the state capital, are coming to watch this grand event!"

"This is a good thing!" Lin Chang blushed with excitement.

Luo Xin just sighed, but still reminded: "But the level of our two counties..."

Lin Chang, who was stroking his beard, stiffened his hands, and his face gradually became serious.After a little thought, he looked at Luo Xin with appreciation:

"Xin'er, it's good that you can think of this level. I'll go to the county tomorrow, and you should study hard at home."

"is teacher!"

After expressing his intentions, Luo Xin chatted with the teacher for a few more words before leaving and going home.He didn't tell Zhang Shu, let alone see his uncle.Lin Chang will definitely notify the two of them.

The next day, Luo Xin really saw Lin Chang. Zhang Shu and Luo Zhi left Shanglin Village and headed towards the county seat.

In the next few days, Luo Xin continued to study and study fan skills step by step.He didn't take Wendou of the two counties seriously, because he didn't think it had anything to do with him. He wasn't even a child, he just went to watch the fun.

On the third day before the end of the month, Luo Xin also set off.Luo Ping personally drove the ox cart to the gate of the city, and then saw Luo Xin's back disappear into the crowd, then drove the ox cart back, met someone he knew and asked:

"Brother Luo, you stayed in the county last night, and you are going back today?"

Luo Ping replied proudly: "No, send my youngest son to participate in the two counties' cultural competition in the morning!"

"Brother Luo gave birth to a good son!"

"hey-hey……"

Luo Xin saw that it was still early, so he simply didn't go to the restaurant to eat, so he went straight to the Yamen.The people in the yamen naturally knew Luo Xin, so they let Luo Xin walk towards the back hall.They arrested a person and asked him to report to Zhou Yu, after a while, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun came in a hurry.

"Brother Xin, you're here!" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun both showed joy when they saw Luo Xin.

"Yeah!" Seeing no one around, Luo Xin cupped his hands and said, "I've met the eldest brother, the second brother."

"Come on, let's sit in the side room!" Zhou Yu stepped forward and took Luo Xin's hand and walked inside.

Luo Xin followed the two elder brothers to the side room, and saw many people already sitting inside.And many of them have been seen at the Taoyuan Cultural Conference, but Jian Ming and Hisun have not been seen.When those people saw Luo Xin coming in, they all stood up and greeted Luo Xin.

It stands to reason that they are all older than Luo Xin, and they all have fame, so there is no need to say hello to a nine-year-old kid who has no fame.But Luo Xin has the poem "Autumn in Taoyuan", no one dares to underestimate him.

Many people think that if Luo Xin was willing to quit last year, there should be no problem in passing the county and government examinations.So treating Luo Xin is already like treating a person with fame.

Luo Xin also understood this situation, and reminded himself that he must not show arrogance, and he was polite with each scholar, and sat down after everyone was seated, so that the scholars had a good impression of Luo Xin.

"Brother Xin, I wonder if you have written any poems recently?" a child student asked.

"No!" Luo Xin immediately shook his head and said, "Every day I am watched by the teacher to study the arts."

All the scholars all laughed, they have all experienced this kind of thing, and only scholars like them can understand that kind of depression.

People are like this, once there is a resonance, they will become cordial all at once.Soon Luo Xin became friends with these people and integrated into this circle.While everyone was talking, Luo Xin asked Zhang Xun in a low voice:

"Brother Zhang, where are Jianming and Haizheng?"

Zhang Xun also said in a low voice: "They are all next door, and the magistrate is there to entertain people who are scholars and above. The people sitting here are all Tongsheng. Brother Haode entertains here on behalf of the magistrate."

"Oh!" Luo Xin nodded.

Luo Xin consciously talked less and gradually stopped speaking, so as not to appear so obtrusive.Sure enough, these people gradually forgot about Luo Xin, and they had a great time talking about it.Luo Xin pricked up his ears, not only listening to what these children said, but also faintly hearing the voices from next door.

Listening to this, Luo Xin couldn't help but want to laugh.Scholars in this era of the Ming Dynasty really had extremely high status, and their psychology was somewhat deformed.

After the slaughter of the Central Plains by the Yuan Dynasty in this era, there are almost no nobles before the Tang Dynasty, and the emphasis is on scholars.The so-called scholars refer to all scholars, because only scholars can pass the scientific examination and go to the temple.Therefore, such a circle was formed. Scholars regard the people in this circle as the same kind, as noble, and despise people in other industries. Even from their speech, they even have a faint look down on the monarchy.

Of course, they didn't dare to say it blatantly, it's just that the words of scholars are often twisted and twisted, and only people of this class can understand them.

During the period, Zhou County Magistrate also took time to come over, and he was very kind to these children.This is the tradition of Shilin. These people are all the students under his jurisdiction. One day when he becomes an official in high school, these are all his contacts.

The relationship between the official circles of the Ming Dynasty is intricate. Teachers, husbands, house teachers, tutors, etc. are intertwined into a big net.

As the host, Zhou Yu naturally would not sit beside Luo Xin, but on the main seat. At this moment, he felt that all the people had come, so he coughed lightly twice, and the room fell silent.
