"Come in!" Lin Chang's voice came from the study, and the teacher's wife also came out of the main hall, and smiled gently: "There is a letter coming, and I'll have lunch here."

Lin Chang had only one son and had been studying in Jinyang Mansion. He rarely went home a few times a year. So the master's wife treated Xin'er like her own son. Luo Xin hurriedly greeted his master's wife and said:

"My mother has prepared the meal, so I have something to ask the teacher for it."

"Go, go!" The teacher's wife still smiled gently.

Luo Xin came to the study and bowed to Lin Chang: "Teacher."

"What's the matter?" Lin Chang's eyes raised from the book.

"Can the teacher know about the cultural battle between the two counties?"

"I heard that Zhou Zhixian County has already sent a letter to ask me to go to the county town these days. I was about to tell you that my teacher cannot start talking to you these days, so you can practice more yourself."

"Yes!" Luo Xin responded respectfully.

"Just for this?" Lin Chang's face showed a faint smile.

"Yes! Today, Brother Haode came to tell his disciple that the day of literary fight was scheduled to be at the end of the month, and he asked his disciple to go to the county to find him one day in advance. The disciple thought this was also an opportunity to learn, so he responded."

Lin Chang Lanxu smiled and said, "Yes, this is a literary event in the two counties, so it's good to go and see it."

"It is said that the surrounding counties and scholars from the prefectures are coming to watch this grand event!"

"This is a good thing!" Lin Chang's face turned red with excitement.

Luo Xin sighed in his heart, but he still reminded: "But the level of our two counties..."

Lin Chang's hand, who was stroking his beard, froze and his face gradually became solemn. After thinking for a moment, his eyes looking at Luo Xin showed admiration:

"Xin'er, you can think that this level is very good. I will go to the county tomorrow and you can study at home."

"Yes, teacher!"

After expressing his meaning, Luo Xin chatted with the teacher for a few more words before saying goodbye to him. He did not tell Zhang Shu, nor did he meet his uncle. Lin Chang would definitely notify them.

The next day, Luo Xin indeed saw Lin Chang, Zhang Shu and Luo Zhi and left Shanglin Village and headed towards the county town.

In the next few days, Luo Xin still studied and studied fan skills step by step. He did not take the literary fight between the two counties to heart, because he felt that it had nothing to do with him. He was not even a Tongsheng, but just went to watch the fun.

On the third day of the end of the month, Luo Xin also set off. Luo Ping personally drove the ox cart to deliver Luo Xin to the city gate, and then watched Luo Xin's back disappear into the crowd. Then he drove the ox cart back and met someone he knew and asked:

"Brother Luo, you stayed in the county town last night, and rushed back today?"

Luo Ping replied proudly: "No, I send my youngest son to participate in the cultural battle between the two counties in the morning!"

"Brother Luo has a good son!"

"hey-hey……"

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Xin simply refused to go to the restaurant to have dinner, so he went straight to the yamen. The people in the yamen naturally knew Luo Xin, so they let Luo Xin walk towards the back hall. He arrested someone and asked him to report to Zhou Yu. No, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun came in a hurry.

"Brother Xin, you are here!" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun showed joy on their faces when they saw Luo Xin.

"Yes!" Luo Xin bowed and saw that no one was around, "I have met my eldest brother, second brother."

"Let's go, let's go to the side room to sit!" Zhou Yu stepped forward and took Luo Xin's hand and walked in.

Luo Xin followed his two brothers to the side room and saw that there were already many people sitting inside. Many of them had seen at the Taoyuan Wenshe Conference, but they did not see Jian Ming and Hai Zheng. When those people saw Luo Xin coming in, they stood up one by one and greeted Luo Xin.

Logically speaking, they are all older than Luo Xin and have fame and fortune. There is no need to say hello to a nine-year-old child who has no fame and fortune. However, Luo Xin has the poem "Autumn in Taoyuan", and no one dares to look down on him.

Many people believe that if Luo Xin was willing to end last year, there should be no problem in passing the county and government examinations. Therefore, Luo Xin is already like a person with fame.

Luo Xin also understood this situation and reminded himself that he must not show his arrogance. He was polite with the scholars and sat down after everyone sat down, which made the scholars have a great impression of Luo Xin.

"Brother Xin, I wonder if I have written poems recently?" asked a child.

"No!" Luo Xin immediately shook his head and said, "I am watched by the teacher every day when I study the art of literature."

All the scholars laughed. They had all experienced this kind of thing, and only those who were the scholars could understand the depression.

This is how people are. Once they have a resonance, they will become friendly all of a sudden. Soon Luo Xin got into a group with these people and integrated into this circle. While everyone was talking, Luo Xin asked Zhang Xun in a low voice:

"Brother Zhang, where are Jian Ming and Hai Zheng?"

Zhang Xun also whispered: "They are all next door. The magistrate is there to entertain scholars and above with fame and fortune. Tong Sheng is here. Brother Haode is here on behalf of the magistrate."

"Oh!" Luo Xin nodded.

Luo Xin consciously talked less until he gradually stopped talking, so that he did not seem so abrupt. Sure enough, these people gradually forgot about Luo Xin and were having a lot of fun talking. Luo Xin raised his ears, not only listening to what these children said, but also being able to vaguely hear the sound next door.

As he listened, Luo Xin couldn't help but feel a little laughing in his heart. The scholars in the Ming Dynasty had a very high status and had a little deformed mentality.

After the Yuan Dynasty killed the Central Plains in this era, there were almost no nobles before the Tang Dynasty, and the Shilin was emphasized. The so-called Shilin refers to all scholars, because only scholars can enter the temple through scientific examinations. Therefore, such a circle was formed. Scholars regarded the people in this circle as similar and noble, and despised people in other industries. Even from their words, they also had a slight underestimation of the monarchy.

Of course, they dare not say it blatantly, but some scholars speak in a curved manner, and only people from this class can understand it.

During this period, County Magistrate Zhou also took the time to come here and was very amiable to these children. This is the tradition of Shilin. These people are all children under his jurisdiction. One day after becoming an official in high school, these are all his connections.

The relationships in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom were complicated. Through teachers, teachers, teachers, house teachers, etc., they formed a big net. This big net trapped the monarch's power. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was really the world of scholars, and could even compete with the monarch's power.

As the master, Zhou Yu naturally would not sit next to Luo Xin, but sat in the main seat. At this time, he felt that everyone was already here, so he coughed twice and the room became silent.
