Lu Kang won the top scorer at the age of 35, and then rose to prominence.

Chi Yun remembered that the late emperor liked him very much and often summoned him to accompany him. Many edicts were written by him.

The new emperor ascended the throne, which should not affect him. Why did he suddenly come to teach? What about his official position?

Dai Jia interrupted: "He is in Dingyou!"

Chi Yun turned to look at him.

Dai Jia touched his head: "I heard from my family that Mr. Lu's mother passed away, so she resigned. Now she has just returned to Beijing, and it was our mountain chief who invited him to have a part-time class."

"So that's how it is."

Lu Kang on the stage finished speaking the meaning of the scriptures and said, "Today I will leave you a homework. Confucius said: A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, while a villain is a metaphor for profit." He paused for a moment, and the students had already conceived an article in their hearts, but listened to him slowly continue. "Using this topic, you can write articles, write poems, and even draw, as you like, it's okay to be free, even if you don't communicate."

After saying that, he shook his clothes and went off the stage.

The students started to clamor.

"I heard that Mr. Lu wants to accept disciples. Could it be that this is a test?"

"Then you must hand it over! But, what should you write?"

"Those topics are usually used to write articles."

"But there must be the most people who write articles, so they are not outstanding!"

Chi Zhang thought, "A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit. Is this a confrontation between a gentleman and a villain? Is it possible to write articles, but is it too vulgar?"

Kong Meng and Dai Jia were both confused. Dai Jia was a noble man who came to take advantage of the academy's reputation, so his homework was not good at all. Kong Meng was just too straightforward and could not turn around.

Not far away, Chi Yan and his classmates were discussing enthusiastically, as if they had already had a curse and passed by talking and laughing.

The four of them passed by and threw a look at them disdainfully.

Chi Yun asked: "Is my brother's homework good?"

Chi Zhang replied depressedly: "It's better than me. I can only barely squeeze into the ranks of Class A, and sometimes I will fall to Class B. My elder brother rarely falls into Class B. My husband also said that he has a higher chance of passing the exam."

Chi Yun nodded. No wonder Chi Yan looked at the four of them, looking at the poor student.

Dai Jia pointed to the pavilion by the water and said, "It's so hot, let's go over there to discuss it?"

There is a long pavilion built along the lake of the academy, and it takes two or three miles to walk down. For literary gatherings like this, tables and chairs are placed inside and brushwork is added, which is both cool and elegant.

After finding a corner casually, Chi Zhang and the other two started a lively discussion.

Chi Yun reached out and plucked the cool lake water and interrupted them: "I have a sentence, do you want to listen?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Chi Yun said: "You must have heard of Mr. Lu's origin. He was originally a blacksmith, and he began in the market, so he empathized with the situation of the grass-roots people. If you are gentlemen and villains, they only distinguish them by their identities, they will definitely not agree with them."

Chi Zhang was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized: "I understand, we must distinguish based on morality! There is no difference in teaching!"

With the idea of ​​solving the problem, the three of them quickly prepared the draft and each took the pen and ink to write.

Chi Yun also took a copy, and Chi Zhang took a look at it and found that she was drawing a draft, with a few strokes at will, and it was lifelike.

The various styles of the city she painted, the winding river, the bridges across the river, the pedestrians on the bridge, the pavers on the roadside... There are farmers plowing fields and children herding cattle in the distance.

Chi Zhang was secretly amazed, but he didn't expect that the eldest sister was actually a master of painting. However, his mind was all about the article, and he just sighed and focused on writing the article.

Chi Yun painted it very quickly and it was completed in just a short while.

When the moji was dry, she looked up and glanced at her suddenly.

A light boat flew across the lake, and the people on the boat were faintly...

...

Lou Yan picked a lotus flower and handed it to the person opposite him.

Lu Kang laughed and said, "My junior brother, it would be a waste to give fragrance to beauty. I would be a waste to me, a rough man."

Lou Yan said: "Then I might as well keep it myself."

Lu Kang admired it seriously and said, "Indeed, isn't your appearance just a first-class beauty?"

If you want to change someone, you may get angry, but Lou Yan just pulled the corner of his mouth.

When I was in the academy, my senior brothers liked to joke about him and got used to it.

"When my senior brother helped me back home, I couldn't protect myself and didn't have time to ask." Lou Yan said, "When you wanted Ding You, the new emperor was interested in seizing love, so why didn't he stay? It's almost three years now, and the situation in the court has changed drastically. It's not easy to recover."

He asked directly, and Lu Kang also answered frankly: "I didn't dare to stay at that time."

"Why?"

Lu Kang smiled: "I'm afraid I can't keep my life."

Lou Yan's expression moved slightly: "Senior brother means that if you stay, you will be cleansed? But now this Majesty, I admire you very much..."

"It's useless." Lu Kang shook his head, "Someone secretly sharpened his knife."

Lou Yan felt something.

He continued: "You were the right time to enter Beijing, and the cleaning has passed. The new emperor is eager to cultivate his confidant. Next, you must be careful, the mastermind behind it is back."

Lou Yan thought about it and he was referring to Prince Kang’s Mansion?

Lu Kang put the lotus flower into the vase and ordered: "Go back to the shore, my students should hand in their homework."

...

Seeing Mr. Lu's boat come back, the students who have already written the articles are like geese with their necks pinched, stretching their heads to look over there.

Seeing that Chi Zhang and others were still checking, Chi Yan, who had already written an article, deliberately chatted with his classmates loudly.

"This question is really simple. Mr. Lu is showing mercy!"

"That's because Brother Chi is good at learning it, and some people have not finished writing it yet!"

"Even such a simple topic has to be written for so long, can you still expect Mr. Lu to fall in love with him?"

"Yes! I really don't have any self-knowledge..."

Chi Zhang was a little annoyed and wanted to argue with him, but Chi Yun knocked on the table.

"It's not that anyone who speaks loudly will be right. Second brother doesn't care about him."

Chi Zhang had no choice but to hold it back.

He quickly finished the inspection, and Kong Meng and Dai Jia were almost the same.

Seeing Chi Yun put away the drawing and wrote his name, Dai Jia asked curiously: "Brother Chi, do you want to hand over this?"

Chi Yun nodded and asked, "I am not a student of your academy, can I hand in it?"

Chi Zhang replied: "Today's literary conference is open to the public. You can submit it if you want to."

Dai Jia looked through curiously: "But, what does this have to do with the topic? The painting is very beautiful..."

Chi Yun smiled but said nothing.

Soon, the old servants around Lu Kang came to collect their homework, and the students rushed to the front, fearing that they would be late and left behind, so the gentleman didn't take it carefully.

Chi Yun and the other four also handed over it.

Chi Zhang and his friends felt that their level was average and they didn’t have much expectations. After submitting the article, they found a boat to go to the lake.

Lou Yan leaned on the boat and glanced at the lake casually. Suddenly, he saw a few young men rowing over with laughter and his eyes fixed.

The young man in green who was sitting on the bow of the boat looked familiar...
Chapter completed!
