At noon, Master Yao Ding dragged his sleepy legs to take a nap and assigned the four of them noon homework. He wrote two thousand words and was allowed to rest if he couldn't finish it.

Master Yao closed the door next door, and Zhang Daxiao stood up, "Several junior brothers, my hands are already festered. I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine and come back soon."

After saying that, he untied the cloth and showed it to everyone. It was indeed a bloody piece. Yue Fei said, "Isn't there any medicine on the table in front? I think it works quite well."

"That medicine didn't work for me at all, and the wound became worse. I'll go and come back."

Zhang Daxiao left the school room and hurriedly left. Li Yanqing slipped out on the excuse of going to the cottage. After searching for a while, he couldn't find Wang Gui. I wonder where this kid was wild?

At this time, Li Yanqing saw Li Er, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Er aside, whispered to him, Li Er nodded, "A small matter is a guarantee, I guarantee he won't see it."

Li Er ran out of the school, and Li Yanqing came back to continue writing. After about half an hour, Zhang Daxiao had not come back yet. Tang Huai was a little worried and said to Yue Fei: "Fifth Brother, Brother Qing'er, what did you think Brother Zhang do? He won't come back yet. After a while, the master will wake up. Let's see how he handles the job? He will be beaten to cry again."

At this time, Li Yanqing saw Li Er who was protruding his head at the door, and put down his pen and said, "I have finished writing, so I'll find him back."

He got up and walked out of the school room. Li Er quickly pulled him to the side and whispered: "That guy went to the pharmacy to ask the cloned man for a long time, and then bought a lot of croton flour. I saw him eat it with his own eyes, and then... he ran to the inn."

Li Yanqing laughed silently and actually ate Croton. Which guy did the trick? He asked again: "Have you seen Wang Gui?"

“On there!”

Li Er pointed to the entrance of the school and saw Wang Gui falling with several students. Li Yanqing hurried over, pulled Wang Gui aside, and asked him, "Do you still want to attend the boy's meeting?"

"Of course I want to, even dream!"

"But those who have to endure hardships, you can also see how we are tortured."

Wang Gui patted his chest, "As long as he can go to the Boys' Club, I will not be afraid no matter how hard he ends."

Li Yanqing glanced at him suspiciously and said slowly: "If you really want to go, you have a chance now."

"What opportunity?" Wang Gui's eyes suddenly widened.

Li Yanqing lowered his voice and said a few words to him. Wang Gui was surprised and happy, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, it depends on whether your grandfather is willing to fight for you."

"I'll tell my grandfather now!"

Li Yanqing grabbed him, "Don't worry, I'll talk after school. At that time, his condition should be serious."

Half a month before the Boy Club, Zhang Daxiao, one of the four contestants in Lushan Academy, had an accident and suffered severe diarrhea. Unfortunately, he was bedridden and had to quit halfway.

Zhang Baojun, one of the four gentry gentry, gave Wang Wanhao a face and gave the spot to the Wang family. Wang Gui got his wish and joined the preparation team. Unfortunately, he was not good at going forward. The next day, he was pressed on the table by the angry Yao Ding and his butt was blown to the point of being blown.

"Woo-I'm quitting, I'm going to quit!"

Listening to Wang Gui crying like a pig, Li Yanqing's heart was not only sympathy, but also sympathy.

As the time of the boy meeting approaches, the master Yao Ding's temper becomes more and more irritable.

"If you were you, you would have hit the head and killed!"

The school echoed in the school with Master Yao's roaring and scolding like a beast, which scared all the students not to speak loudly. They held their breath and even tiptoed when walking. They passed by the special school room by chance. They glanced at it quickly, and the glance was filled with sympathy for the four of them. Of course, some people would also have a gloating.

In the room, Yao Dingman stared at his blood-red eyes and asked Wang Gui: "I will give you another last chance. The first couplet is: The bright moon shines among the pines, what is the second couplet?"

Wang Gui was so scared that he trembled with his soul, and he was almost gone, and he could not remember Wang Wei's poems. At this time, Li Yanqing kicked a stone on the ground and gestured to pee. Wang Gui's eyes lit up, as if he had picked up a treasure, and he stuttered: "Qing...Qingquan Stone...Upstream."

Yao Ding glared at Wang Gui for a long time, and suddenly turned around and whipped Li Yanqing with a bamboo whip. The reason for changing back to the bamboo whip was because his iron wood ruler was interrupted when he beat his grandson Yuefei, and he couldn't find a guy who was suitable for the time being.

"From now on, Wang Mojie's poems were silenced for me three times in official script. I couldn't finish them, and no one was allowed to go back to sleep!"

...........

Although Yao Ding wanted to break a day into three days, the time for the boy's meeting finally came. At this time, Xiangzhou had entered the middle of winter, and two heavy snowfalls fell in a row. The world turned into a snowy world, which was also the happiest time of the year for the children.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yao Ding gave them a day off for the first time, allowing them to have fun, but the four of them slept for a day and a night, and even Wang Gui, who loved snowball fights, could not get out of bed.

As soon as the next day, a dozen gentry from Xiaohe Township gathered in the school to see them off. The twenty days of hard study made them very rewarding. Even Wang Gui could recite more than a hundred poems in front of his grandfather, making his grandfather Wang Wanhao very proud, and praised his grandson for being promising to everyone.

Even Zhang Baojun secretly regretted that he should not let his grandson give up. Every day when he saw his grandson Zhang Daxiao pretending to be sick and lazy and refused to get up, he would not get angry.

Li Wenyou encouraged them on behalf of everyone, hoping that they could add glory to the hometown, and gave them another plate of silver to Yao Ding. This was the kind of wish that everyone had collected and gave them the expenses in the county.

In the past, the four major families in the village monopolized the quota, and the gentry did not have the interest to see him off. But this time it was different. They all heard from their children that the four of them were preparing for the war, which ignited a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Yao Ding still had a dark face. In his opinion, the four of them were still far from his request. Li Yanqing was barely able to do it, Yue Fei couldn't, and the other two were even more foolish. He could not count on the third place. He would be satisfied if he could win the sixth place.

Yao Ding asked the four students to line up and bow to the gentry who were seeing off, and then got on the carriage. The carriage was provided by Wang Wanhao. It was very wide and strong. It was covered with a layer of leather on the outside and a thick carpet under it. It was warmer to sit inside in the cold winter.

The carriage was separated into two rooms inside and outside. Yao Ding sat alone in front and napping, while the four students sat behind. They sat directly on the soft carpet with a thick quilt covered with them, but they were very excited and talked nonstop all the way.

Tang Huai smiled and said, "Last year, I was the youngest of the four, but this year I was the largest. It's really interesting!"

Among the four, Tang Huai was nine years old, Yue Fei and Wang Gui were eight years old, and Li Yanqing was only six years old, but he was a mature young man and had a big skeleton, looking the same as eight or nine years old. No one would have thought that he was only six years old.

At this time, Yao Ding's listless voice came from the front, "Other schools choose twelve or thirteen-year-old students, but I'm just confused. I chose you a few, and there is still a six-year-old. Alas! I'm really going to lose my shame this time."

Wang Gui and Li Yanqing stuck out their tongues and both of them started to laugh.

Among the four, Yue Fei was the most serious, taciturn, and didn't like to make trouble. Although Tang Huai didn't talk much, he was indispensable to any bad thing he did.

At this time, Yue Fei asked Tang Huai: "Tang, you participated in the Boys' Meeting last year. Let's tell you how to compete! Let's know in our hearts."

Tang Huai thought for a while and said: "Last year, I had a total of seven days of competition. The first three days were the ring and then I had a day off. The fifth day was the exam. It started before dawn and continued until noon, and then the results were announced the next morning."

"What achievements have been announced?" Li Yanqing asked.

"All the results, the results of the ring match plus the results of the later tests, the highest score will be the leader of this year."

Speaking of this, Tang Huai said very frustrated: "Last year's ring competition, we were eliminated in the first round, and we ranked last in the final exam, but we returned in a defeat. Of course, it's the same every year."

Li Yanqing asked curiously again: "I heard that a school withdrew from the competition last year. What's going on?"

Tang Huai waved his hand and made the three of them lower their heads. He lowered his voice and said, "There are open and secret struggles here, and they use any means. Last year, Tangbeixiang School was the first in the ring competition, but the next day, he had a collective diarrhea and had to withdraw from the boys' meeting. The Fengli Town School took the lead with the second in the ring competition and the first in the exam. We also won the seventh place for the first time. Everyone said that Tangbeixiang School should not have had dinner outside that night."

Everyone's hearts were a little heavy. At this time, Wang Gui smiled and said, "Tell me something more relaxed! What are the rewards for winning the leader?"

"It's a reward! I heard that the leader is three hundred guan, the second is two hundred guan, and the third is one hundred guan, and there will be nothing afterwards."

Seeing Wang Gui's eyes lit up, Tang Huai hurriedly said, "This money is not his own. It is for the school to make up for leaks, repair the leaking houses, repair the doors, tables and chairs, etc."

Wang Gui suddenly felt relieved, "Then what are the benefits of us?"

Tang Huai scratched his head, "There are personal benefits too! The village will give rewards, but what is most expected is that the name of the top students can enter the county annals. The magistrate will also wear a copper plum for each person and get the title of a prodigy. It seems that there is something else?"

Li Yanqing, next to him, added seriously, "Rich families will try every means to marry your daughter to you."
