Everyone thought about the leaf of paper that County Magistrate Chen mentioned was that it was so big on the table that it could write at most two or three hundred words, which was the limited space.

Then a maid lit a thread of incense in front of Chen Magistrate Chen and Lu Weng.

Many of the scholars picked up the pen and wrote, while others remained motionless and closed their eyes to meditate. It seemed that they were drafting.

For Lin Yanchao, this article would be just a formality. Yuan Hongdao was kind-hearted and wanted to make him famous. But Lin Yanchao is already famous all over the world, so why bother to show off in this occasion? Don’t show off if you have nothing to do.

So Lin Yanchao thought to write a mediocre article to deal with it. He immediately hired a boat to go south to visit his relatives, which was the serious thing in front of him.

Lin Yanchao wrote a lot of social articles in the Hanlin Academy. After he became the top scholar, the eunuchs in the palace and many officials came to ask for their own articles to be written, and wanted to use them as treasures, hide them at home and stay with their family members.

At the beginning, one or two were so good, but Lin Yanchao couldn't stand it even if there were too many people to ask for it.

Over time, Lin Yanchao was also trained. The articles he wrote in a smooth manner in response to the situation were simply written, which was simply a social work. Later, when Sun Chengzong caught the knife, he didn't have much brainpower.

So when Lin Yanchao was about to pick up the pen and grind the ink, he frowned and turned his head to see Hua Chuanfang who was writing constantly.

It turns out that the four treasures of the study in front of Lin Yanchao, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are missing. How can Lin Yanchao write without ink? He is full of knowledge and cannot bite his fingers and write a blood book!

So Lin Yanchao could only put his pen and sat down with his hands pressed on his knees.

Everyone around was writing articles there, and Lin Yanchao looked a little stupid, as if he had no talent and could not make any articles and had to hand in the blank paper.

The incense stick has passed in the second half, and everyone present has picked up the pen, only Lin Yanchao sits in place.

At this time, Hua Chuanfang threw the pen, swung the sleeves of his arms back, and then picked up the paper and handed it to the maid beside him. The maid was the first to hand the article to County Magistrate Chen.

Why was Hua Chuanfang the first to submit a paper?

Lin Yanchao wanted to come here to be a crafty person, and he bought articles to serve as a storefront. At this moment, he had already asked someone to write them on his behalf. He just needed to write them down once. Of course, he was the first to hand in the paper.

Of course, after watching this scene, if someone who doesn’t know the details, he would think that Hua Chuanfang is quick-witted.

After Hua Chuanfang, the other scholars also wrote their articles one after another.

After one stick of incense, everyone else handed over the manuscript, and Lin Yanchao was the only one left on the field.

Lin Yanchao also smiled, took the blank paper in front of him and handed it to the maid beside him. The maid smiled and handed the white paper Lin Yanchao on.

Because it was a maid who turned the hand, County Magistrate Chen did not see that it was handed over by Lin Yanchao, but when he saw that it was a piece of white paper, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

Of course, this is a literary club, not an imperial examination, and it is irrelevant to hand in the blank paper. However, here, the three famous scholars of Wu gathered together and could not write an article on such an occasion. If you hand in a blank piece of paper, you would really be called a famous scholar.

Based on the principle of showing mercy, Magistrate Chen did not say it out loud, and put Lin Yanchao's white paper at the end, but talked about the article with Weng Lu beside him.

The article at the beginning of the volume is of course Hua Chuanfang.
