Phoenix Nirvana: The King's Alluring Medical Concubine

Chapter 38

Early the next morning, Lin Feng sent someone to pick up Xia Zijin to follow his master to class. Lin Feng specially arranged a large study room for the two sisters to use as a school.

The master seemed to be kind-hearted, and he should be in his forties.

Xia Zijin entered the school, and immediately recognized the man in a navy blue robe in front of him as Master, and hurriedly saluted obediently, "Hello, Master."

The master looked at the well-behaved and sensible little girl in front of him, and he liked it quite a bit, so he nodded with a smile.

It was rare for Lin Xinyue to be here to see the mutual affection between the two, so she walked to the side and sat down. She didn't like being restrained to learn this and that, let alone having her little friend Xia Zijin.

Afterwards, Xia Zijin also went to sit next to Lin Xinyue, but the two of them were in tacit understanding without looking at each other.

After the master sat down in front of him, he said directly: "Now the old man will test you two first, to see your respective abilities."

Hearing this, Lin Xinyue was excited. She had many masters who taught her since she was a child. Although she didn't study it seriously, she was better than the country girl in front of her who must have had no education.

Lin Xinyue was filled with excitement at the thought of seeing Xia Zijin make a fool of herself later, and her expression became serious.

Xia Zijin was very worried about Lin Xinyue's full confidence. She had only been in school with Xia Keyi for a few months, so she might not be as confident as Lin Xinyue.

The reaction of both of them was seen by the master, and he probably had an understanding of their personalities. One was competitive and the other lacked self-confidence. This should be related to their living environment and the people they came into contact with.

"Let me give you a simple couplet first. The first couplet is: Shushan has Lu Qin as the path. Please come up with the second couplet."

"There is no limit to learning and working hard." The two said the second couplet almost at the same time. If they can't get the most basic thing right, then they really don't have to live.

The master nodded, and then continued: "How to cultivate virtue by planting ten miles of famous flowers, you come and write the next couplet."

This made the two of them a little embarrassed, they both lowered their heads and thought hard.

This Shanglian Xia Zijin felt very familiar, as if the teacher in the school had said it before, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

At this time, Lin Xinyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said loudly, "I remembered."

Then Lin Xinyue uttered the second couplet with a proud face, "Cultivating ten thousand mansions is not as good as self-cultivation."

The master nodded, "Yes, very good."

After speaking, Master looked at Xia Zijin who was still thinking hard and asked, "Have you figured it out yet?"

Originally, Xia Zijin had just thought of that second couplet, but Lin Xinyue took the lead, so she could only think of another one.

But she really didn't think of it for a while, and when she was about to shake her head, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to her. Xia Zijin nodded hurriedly, and then said softly: "Helping a hundred nobles is more than helping the poor."

As soon as Xia Zijin came out with this couplet, the master was stunned for a long time before he asked in great surprise, "You came up with this yourself?"

Although Lin Xinyue's second couplet was very good, it was originally from the book, so she was not surprised that it came out, but Xia Zijin's second couplet was something he had never heard of before. If she came up with it herself, then This little girl is really not easy.

Facing the Master's question, Xia Zijin thought that he was not good enough, so he nodded embarrassingly.
