Of course, the monthly examination in ethnic studies does not require sitting in a room like the imperial examination. The only person in charge of the examination is Zhang You, who dozed off intentionally or unintentionally, so the students below were naturally very happy. When they saw the examination paper, Zhang Yue's expression changed.

It suddenly became very strange, because the entire paper was devoted to the Analects of Confucius, and the other three books in the four books and the Five Classics seemed to have been forgotten by the teacher.

Moreover, if his memory is not biased, all the contents are things he has seen before.

"What the hell is all this?"

"It's the Analects of Confucius, right..."

"Nonsense, I also know it's the Analects of Confucius! Hey, Gu Xiaoqi, can you do this question?"

"There are too many questions. Even if I finish answering my own question, I'm afraid you won't have time to copy it!"

"I don't care if you hand in a blank paper! Anyway, I'll leave my paper to you and I'll give you ten taels of silver!"

Zhang Yue didn't have time to pay attention to the noisy voices behind him, nor did he have time to pay attention to the endless lamentations. What he was most worried about at this time was that he couldn't write. But at this time, he couldn't care about so much anymore.

How could he give up when there was hope again for things that he thought were going to be ruined? So, he started writing hard and writing with full ink, and gradually got into the mood.

When the cloud board rang after an hour, nine out of ten students had pale faces. The children from rich families were worried about the lessons they would receive from their parents when they returned home, while the children from poor families were worried about not being able to receive their secondary school subsidy next month.

Money and food - after all, these days there are not many private schools that can provide money and food without having to pay for additional students. Therefore, brothers Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi, who had not come to class for several days and did not come to take the monthly exam today, were immediately hated by others.

Gritting teeth.

Why can they escape the monthly exam? They are both serious members of the Zhang family!

The exams were over, and no matter how depressed it was, it would not help, so after hearing that there would be no classes in the afternoon, a group of students immediately dispersed like birds and beasts. Zhang Yue saw Liansheng Lianhu packing up his things and was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Gu Bin spoke up

Call and stay.

"I'm sorry, I...I can't do anything...I also handed in a blank paper today..."

Zhang Yue originally didn't have a good impression of this cold but awkward guy. Seeing Gu Bin's always cold face turn red, he suddenly felt that he could ignore the small discomfort. Seeing this cold-faced young man put down such a cold face

He lowered his head and was about to go out when he suddenly called out to him.

"You exchanged money for other people's exams and handed in a blank paper yourself. Aren't you afraid of being scolded by your parents when you go home?"

Gu Bin turned around abruptly and saw that Zhang Yue's face was not sarcastic. His expression had just softened a little. After a long silence, he said word by word: "You have never tasted the feeling of starvation, nor have you ever tasted it.

I have experienced the experience of borrowing money and rice from other people. Ten taels of silver is enough for my family's expenses for several months. Even if I get beaten and punished, it is worth it. Although your father can help my family for a while, it is impossible to help my whole life."

Zhang Yue sneered in his heart. Seeing Gu Bin turn around and strode out of the door. There was no one else in the room. He suddenly raised his voice and said: "Even if you think you are noble and think that people are poor but ambitious, you can do everything by yourself."

, but you should come to ethnic studies so that you can enter school in the future. Of course you will gain from doing this now, but if you lose your reputation, how will you go to the college and provincial examinations in the future?"

As soon as he said this, he saw Gu Bin standing frozen outside the door. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that although this cold-faced boy had some talent in reading, how could he be a good person?

There is something wrong with how he handles things. There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as this matter is leaked, which academic administration will choose such a scholar in the future?

No matter what kind of turmoil happened on this day, in short, the monthly exams finally came to an end. On this day, in order to prepare for the 60th birthday of the old lady Gu, Zhang Zhuo went to the clan school to treat Zhang Yue with half a meal.

Of course, he also asked for leave for Zhang Chao and Zhang Qi's brothers. Because Zhang You, the father of the two brothers, could not escape from Jiaozhi, he was the only one who took care of this matter.

It was rare for father and son to go home together. While walking on the road, Zhang Zhuo asked about the progress of the apprenticeship. Yesterday, he got through it in a blur, but today he couldn't escape. Zhang Yue originally planned to find an excuse or simply show his kindness.

It was a lie, but after thinking about it, I still told the truth honestly, even the strange test paper today.

"Forget it, it all depends on chance."

Zhang Zhuo sighed thoughtfully, patted his son's shoulder gently, and never bothered with this issue again.

As the old lady Gu's sixtieth birthday approaches day by day, Kaifeng City gradually becomes lively. After all, how can local officials in Henan not look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha, even for the sake of the British prince in Nanjing City?

Why don't you come to pay birthdays to the old lady of the Zhang family? If you flatter me well and you can get the old lady to pass on a word or two to the British prince, then your chances will be great.

So, for more than ten days in a row, Zhang Xin, Zhang Zhuo's two sons, and the three wives of Feng's Dongfang family and Sun's were all too busy. Zhang Yue's grandchildren were also ordered around, and even

The two granddaughters Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi were not spared. However, as the eldest grandson of the eldest son, Zhang Jiu was very idle. He only had to accompany Gu to meet guests, and he pocketed countless red envelopes and profits.

Zhang Chao opened his eyes and looked at it with greedy eyes, but he could only mutter behind his back, feeling very disappointed at the same time.

In order to persuade these two cousins ​​who had suffered a heavy blow due to being ignored, Zhang Yue tried his best to comfort them both with the fact that Zhang Jiu would leave sooner or later.

He himself also had no favorable impression of his cousin Zhang Jiu. Logically speaking, the youngest in the family was the most lovable, but Zhang Jiu pretended to be clever and obedient in front of adults. In front of peers like them, he had eyes on the top of his head.

, so they even got the nickname "Chaotianyan" among the brothers and sisters.

At this moment, Zhang Yue was trying on new clothes specially made for his grandmother's birthday tomorrow. Who knew that he had just taken off his old clothes when Zhang Chao ran in and grabbed his neck without hesitation.

"Third brother, do you know that it is said that Chaotianyan will become a disciple on his birthday tomorrow? This is a favor entrusted to me by my father!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling baffled when he heard this. He couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? If my eldest aunt hadn't always praised that prodigy with upturned eyes and how smart he was in front of my grandmother, my grandmother would be so cold to us these days? Don't forget, my eldest uncle said that day that you don't learn.

No tricks! Fortunately, I thought my uncle was a good person at first, but I can’t believe he is as sinister as mother said..."

"Cough!" Zhang Yue coughed hard, finally preventing Zhang Chao from saying the word "insidious" in front of Qiu Hen. Seeing that Qiu Hen was the only one in the room, he had to lower his voice and asked, "

Even if he wants to become a disciple, this is arranged by my uncle, so what can you do?"

"Can't he just do a few crooked poems? Have you forgotten that there is also a child prodigy in the school, Gu Xiaoqi? Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me. I just told you that you can watch the show when the time comes.

good!"

Zhang Yuezheng wanted to give a warning, but when he saw Zhang Chao running away without a trace, he could only shake his head angrily. Prodigies also have to be divided into grades. Prodigies from high-ranking officials and noble families are naturally Jingui, while prodigies from poor families have to stand out.

But he has to rely on chance to move Gu Bin out to compete with Zhang Jiu? Fortunately, Zhang Chao can think of it!

What is the favored son of heaven? First of all, the family must be rich and powerful, and you must be the treasure in the hands of your elders, then you are the favored son of heaven!
