When Chief Xia saw this, he immediately asked his son to lead the young men of the clan to help. In the past two days, Zhou Man and the others indeed participated in the poetry and literary gatherings again, and heard that they were very popular. Even the gentlemen who taught Wulang and Qilang how to read were very popular.

Praise them for their rich knowledge.

At this time, Chief Xia just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible and not cause more trouble.

When Bai Shan and the others returned to the inn, they were not as high-spirited as Chief Xia expected. Instead, after returning to the inn, they went back to their own rooms and lay down on the bed without moving.

So tired!

When participating in literary conferences, I have to write articles, and I also have to deal with challenges from various people. Papers, arguments...

I also have to write poems when I participate in poetry gatherings, and sometimes I have to write essays...

The three people who usually just entertained themselves and bickered with each other suddenly felt the knowledge of someone else. Of course, if it was one-on-one, they would not be afraid.

But they are a group of three against one.

That large group not only included students from the government schools, but also doctoral officers from the government schools, and was not limited to students and literati from various counties who came here to participate in literary conferences...

Who knows what books they read in private? There were so many questions, and there were always three or four out of ten that they couldn't answer, which was so embarrassing.

In order not to be too embarrassed, the three of them could only write down the questions they couldn't answer and take them back to the inn. They first asked their husband, who told them what they knew and let them find out what they didn't know. Many of them only had a rough impression.

Where can the three of them find it?

Of course it's a bookstore.

But there were very few books in the bookstore, so in the end they went to Magistrate Zhai to borrow books. After running around here for the past two days, they didn't remember Xia Yi's move at all.

They don't remember, but Lao Zhoutou and the others remember that they have been quietly staring at Songhua Lane for the past two days.

Man Bao was lying on the bed motionless, with a dull expression on her face. Qian opened the door and saw her and shook her head. She put the basin on the shelf and patted her, "Get up and wash your face."

Hands on, Mom has poured the hot water for you."

Man Bao said blankly: "I don't want to wash in hot water, I want to wash in cold water. Ice water is the best."

"Girls should stay away from cold weather," Mrs. Qian patted her up and said, "Wash up first. Mom has something to tell you."

Man Bao got up and washed up. Qian sat by the bed and folded clothes for her, saying: "Xia Yi's family started moving things today. Your eldest brother and fifth brother went to see it quietly. It will be almost done if we move for another day tomorrow.

What your father and I mean is that they will definitely move everything inside."

She sighed and said: "They have used those things for more than ten years, and I don't want to keep them, so I have to add beds, tables, chairs and benches in the house..."

Man Bao raised his wet face from the wooden basin and asked blankly: "Do we still want to decorate this house?"

Mr. Qian glanced at her and said, "Of course it must be decorated. Not only must it be decorated, but it must also be guarded. Otherwise, if you rent it out, the house will become dilapidated if you don't live in it."

She said: "In the future, during festivals, especially the Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival, you will always come back to worship your ancestors. Your grandparents and great-grandparents need you to sacrifice. Although your father and I will not let you change your surname, we will not let you change your surname.

You still have to fulfill your filial piety."

Man Bao scratched his head and agreed obediently.

Seeing her tired face, Mrs. Qian asked with concern: "You guys always go out early and come back late these two days. Why, the students in Shangzhou are better than the students in Beijing?"

Man Bao lowered his head and said: "That's not true. It's just that when we were in the capital, we discussed with each other. When we participated in cultural gatherings, because we were young, few people would ask questions to embarrass us. But in Shangzhou, we have high status.

, both came from Chongwen Hall, and Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stayed in the Imperial College, so not only students, but also academic officials and doctors also like to ask questions to test us."

Mainly, everyone wants to know the level of the Imperial College and Chongwen Hall in Beijing. With the same number of people, Zhou Man and the others are certainly not afraid, but not now.

Qian frowned and said, "Are they trying to make things difficult for you?"

Man Bao shook his head and sighed: "Sir, they said it's because they like and respect us."

So in order to live up to this love and admiration, they could only think about it all night long to find the answer.

Man Bao wanted to cry.

In Mr. Zhuang's words, "You have been living in praise for so many years, and you should know that there is heaven outside the world, and there are people outside the world."

As a result, the three of them discovered that there was indeed someone outside the world. Where did they read so many books and know so many issues?

At this time, Magistrate Zhai was holding bowls and chopsticks and looking at his eldest son who was eating opposite him in a daze.

Mrs. Zhai gave him a piece of meat with chopsticks and couldn't help asking: "Why are you staring at Da Lang?"

Magistrate Zhai came to his senses, looked down at the food in the bowl, shook his head and said, "Let me see what happened to my son."

Mrs. Zhai: "...can you see it?"

Magistrate Zhai nodded, "It can't be seen from the outside, so I guess the brain matter in the brain is a little different. Otherwise, they all study the same way, so why is he so different?"

Zhai Dalang couldn't eat anymore, so he raised his head from the bowl and said, "Father, do you want to praise Bai Shan and the others again? My ears are almost ringing with cocoons these past two days."

Magistrate Zhai shook his head, "Whatever I praise them for, I already know that you are far inferior to them."

Zhai Dalang looked a little unconvinced.

Magistrate Zhai said: "You borrowed two books from me yesterday afternoon and went back to read them. They returned them early the next morning. When you came to my study to look for books to read, you were still washing. They read the books and copied them.

When you had a lot of things to go to the cultural gathering, you changed your clothes and took everyone there with you. Have you read a page of the book that day? "

Magistrate Zhai shook his head and said: "I can't compare, I can't compare. I made the wrong comparison from the beginning."

Zhai Dalang stiffened and was speechless.

Mrs. Zhai reached out and poked his head and said: "You will get up early tomorrow to study. I wake you up every day with the same voice. Can you work harder?"

Zhai Erlang and Zhai Xiaomei, who were sitting nearby, immediately lowered their heads and ate quickly, hoping to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

Zhai Dalang agreed very well, but he still couldn't get up early the next day. When he was finally picked up from the bed by his servants, Bai Shan and others had already come to borrow books. I heard that this time they borrowed books from the first two schools of Shangzhou Prefecture.

The test papers for the 2018 exam were written yesterday. They were stumped because they were from two years ago.

When Zhai Dalang heard that his servants were all copying papers in the study, he couldn't help but lie down on the bed and rumpled the clothes he just wore. He said angrily: "Don't they all need to sleep?"

He said angrily: "No wonder they are so short. How can they grow taller if they don't get enough sleep?"

Servant: ...Master, you are one or two years older than them.
