Three days later, Jiang Anyi appeared in Chongzhitang and found that many curious eyes were focused on him. He touched the bruises on his face that had not yet faded, and sighed inwardly that this guise was really eye-catching. Many classmates who were not familiar with him came forward to say hello, and some looked at him from afar. The situation was very strange, and Jiang Anyi was confused.

There was an event in the book club in the afternoon. The members of the club were originally unrestrained. This time they met Jiang Anyi, they felt that everyone was much more friendly. They smiled. Should they express kindness or laugh at the scars on my face? Jiang Anyi was full of questions.

After the party, President Liu Yushan and Liu came over with a smile, pointed to the wound on Jiang Anyi's face and asked, "Anyi, what's wrong with her face?"

The young man is very proud, so naturally Jiang Anyi would not say that he was beaten by someone, and said, "He fell down by riding a horse."

"Oh, is An Yi practicing both civil and military affairs? It's amazing." Liu Yushan said with a smile.

These days, Jiang Anyi recalled the situation of the man who fell. The moves were used by demons when fighting, but his skills seemed to have faster speeds, especially the heat current from the tailbone when squatting, which made the movements of falling people feel refreshed. Could it be that he practiced the technique of calming the heart and calming the energy?

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was thinking, Liu Yushan thought he was being noticed by everyone and was suspicious. He asked with a smile: "Why, I think today is different?"

“That’s right.”

"Let's talk while walking." Liu Yushan and Jiang Anyi stepped onto the Smoky Cloud Gallery side by side. The corridor was full of smoke and willows, which were named after it.

"An Yi, do you know why I asked you to join the club?" Liu Yushan asked in a different way.

This is what Jiang Anyi has always been asking. Now Jiang Anyi knows that Liu Yushan is one of the four showies in Zechang. Although the Book Fragrance Society is a small club with more than ten people, it is not easier to join the Zhumei Society than the Zhumei Society, let alone Liu Yushan came to find herself in person.

Seeing Jiang Anyi shook his head, Liu Yushan brushed away the willow branches beside him and stood at Jingbo Lake not far away. The water waves on the lake were uneven and quiet like a mirror. A few geese were playing in the lake. A gust of wind rose and the waves suddenly rose. The geese were so shocked that they spread their wings and flew into the distance.

"It was the mountain leader who recommended you to me, An Yi. When I saw you, I felt that you looked very much like myself when I was young." Liu Yu said well.

"President Deng Shan", Jiang Anyi was stunned. In the past two months, he had no contact with President Deng Shan, except for seeing him from a distance in public places. Unexpectedly, Senior Liu made an appointment with him to join the club and was recommended by President Deng Shan.

"Today, everyone kisses you and values ​​you because of the poem "Singing Chrysanthemums" you wrote on Zhuowang Peak." Liu Yushan slowly recited: "Don't compare the rosary with wet brans. On nine days, the branches are close to the hair of the temples. The dew wet the autumn fragrance fills the pond. I have never envied the height of the pine. I am good at poetry, using poetry to describe people, expressing the voice of our generation. The young man is sharp and does not fear the powerful. I am not as good as you."

Unexpectedly, it was this poem that caused the trouble. When Jiang Anyi touched his eyebrows, he recited casually caused such a big response, which was neither what he thought nor what he wanted.

"An Yi, I just said that you look very much like me. Not only do you and I are both peasant children, but you and I are also full of disgust towards the powerful and powerful children. These dandy sluts are promising to be noble and look down on us poor students. What's abominable is that they always use all kinds of disgraceful means to compete for the quota during the imperial examination. They also become officials. My poor children have a far more difficult career than those of powerful and powerful families." Liu Yushan's words gradually became excited, and his tone was full of indignation.

Seeing Jiang Anyi's expression confused, Liu Yushan emphasized and said, "An Yi, you are from Dezhou. I believe that Dezhou Governor Feng Shaojun and the mountain chief were classmates. They passed the same year and the mountain chief was ranked seventh in the second grade, while the mountain chief was ranked forty-sixth in the third grade. However, Feng was attracted by Ding Xiling, the young minister of Dali Temple at that time, and was recruited as a son-in-law. Since then, his career has been smooth and he has been the head of a state for more than 20 years. In contrast, although the mountain chief is famous, he is now just a fifth-rank official. The reason for this is unknown."

Jiang Anyi was speechless. He had no good feelings for the rich family, but he never thought of opposing him. For a 16-year-old farmer boy, he would never dream of this. A year ago, his greatest ambition was just to let his family have enough food and clothing. Now that his family is changing, he just wants to study quietly, pass the imperial examination in the future, and have the ability to protect his family's safety and happiness.

Liu Yushan's voice continued to be heard in his ears, "Two years ago, I set up a book club under the instruction of the mountain leader, just to gather some of the poor reading seeds, and everyone helps each other together, so that they will not be able to fight back when they are bullied. To be ashamed, although I have this heart, I dare not speak out, and only dare to use my strength in secret. An Yi, you wrote poems on Double Ninth Festival and expressed your feelings directly. Any poor family who hears your poem "Singing the Chrysanthemum" is cheered up, so today everyone feels very close to you."

"Senior Liu, I just want to read quietly..."

"Hahahahaha," Liu Yushan laughed loudly and interrupted Jiang Anyi's words, "Anyi, you are worried that 'the wood is so beautiful that the forest is destroyed by the wind. You should know that the imperial examination is a matter of striving for the first place. If you don't attract jealousy, you are mediocre. Anyi, if you want to pass the imperial examination, you must get used to standing in front of everyone and greeting others' picky gazes. How can you be quiet?"

Jiang Anyi lowered his head and kept silent.

Liu Yushan said solemnly: "I originally wanted to say this to you next year, but since I have said this, I will just say it to you clearly. Next year is the year of a competition, and I will leave the academy to participate in the provincial examination. I hope the Book Fragrance Society can be passed on, flourished in your hands, speak out for the poor children, and shelter them from the wind and rain. Anyi, think about it carefully."

Liu Yushan's words did not cheer up Jiang Anyi, but instead brought him invisible pressure. He returned to his residence depressedly. Li Shicheng was not here, and probably was taken to a party by his friends. In his words, multiple friends have multiple ways, and being in the world is the most important thing.

Jiang Anyi threw himself heavily on the bed, took the pillow irritably and covered his face. Liu Yushan's words made him confused. The sixteen-year-old boy had never considered these things. How should he do it? Zhuangtang's cloud boards knocked, Jiang Anyi stood up and threw the pillow. It was raining and his mother was going to get married. Let him go. The world is big and the food is the biggest. When you are hungry, go to eat. Make up your mind, Jiang Anyi puts his worries aside, do his own thing well, and adapt to other things.

Next, Jiang Anyi maintained a life of five points and one line in the residence, Zhuantang, Chongzhitang, Tibetan and Guanchang, and tried not to show up. However, in the eyes of those who are interested, Jiang Anyi's every move was paid attention to.

In early October, Jiang Anyi received a letter from Master Yu from the capital. The thick letter said in detail how to learn and which books to read, and attached a list of more than a hundred books. Jiang Anyi was full of gratitude with his faith. Master Yu was still worried about himself in his busy schedule, and he truly regarded himself as a disciple.

He wrote a reply and told Master Yu that he had entered the second place in September monthly exams and would not take long to enter the first place, and he might be able to enter the Taoist temple next year. Jiang Anyi was a little proud. He could be promoted from Chongzhi Hall to the Taoist temple in half a year. There were not many old cases in Zechang Academy. After all, he was only sixteen years old, half showing off and half proud. Jiang Anyi imagined that he could get the praise from Master Yu, and a smile appeared on his face.

Next, Jiang Anyi told the dissatisfaction of Zhao Xingfeng when he was admitted to school, "Yin has three lords, no distinction between superiors and inferiors." He asked Master Yu to answer the questions, was he right? Then he wrote the poem "Singing the Chrysanthemum" written by Chongyang, and expressed his recent troubles in the letter, asking Master Yu what to do? The letter was sent away, and Jiang Anyi felt that the burden in his heart was also sent away. He firmly believed that Master Yu's wisdom would definitely be able to relieve his troubles.

There are many books listed by Master Yu. Jiang Anyi borrowed them from the collection in sequence. The academy's collection is the best in Jiangnan, and all the books listed by Master Yu can be found. Jiang Anyi's reading speed is very fast and he can finish reading one in two or three days, which makes Liu Yushan a little worried.

Seeing Jiang Anyi returning the "Four Books of Tongyi" and borrowing another book "The Sutras and Questions", all of which were more than a hundred pages thick, Liu Yushan couldn't help but remind: "Although Anyi, although reading should be extensive, you should not just be greedy for fast and greedy for too much, you should still proceed step by step."

"Thank you for your reminder." Jiang Anyi didn't want to explain that he had become smart and had a good memory. He could remember these books by reading them once. Jiang Anyi speculated that all this was related to his practice of demonic mental methods. This is a taboo and must not let others know.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi didn't listen, Liu Yushan sighed and said nothing more.

Time is like flowing water, October has passed in a blink of an eye. On November 2, a rank of October monthly exams was posted on the wall outside Chongzhitang, and Jiang Anyi's name appeared in the first class.

Not many freshmen are admitted to Chongzhitang, and it is even rare to be ranked first in those days. You should know that Zechang Academy is a gathering of heroes. After studying hard for four or five years, it is really dissatisfied with the young boy who has been studying for half a year. What's more, in recent years, the annual exam will be re-arranged according to the grades of the annual exam. Chongzhitang will be promoted to the Taoist temple, and there will be subsidies for the academy after entering the Taoist temple.

The people outside Chongzhi Hall were like bees that exploded in a nest, and there was a constant "buzzing" sound.

"I have paid attention to this guy. I have been advancing from the fifth level and entered the first level in just three and a half months. It's really awesome."

"Did this kid beat the exam? Mr. Damn missed the questions? I heard that Mr. Ling had made a lot of comments on his daily classes."

Zhang Bojin separated the crowd and saw Jiang Anyi's name before him, his face turned pale. Zhang Bojin had heard of Jiang Anyi's name, and this person won the Dezhou case with the two poems "The boat is horizontal" and "The wet man's clothes". Recently, the poem "Singing the Chrysanthemum" has been widely circulated.

Like Jiang Anyi, Zhang Bojin was from Dezhou. He entered the academy one year earlier than Jiang Anyi, and was promoted from Guangyetang to Chongzhitang a year. Since the second half of this year, his name has appeared many times in the first place in the monthly exam. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Bojin should be able to enter the Taoist temple next year. In addition to hard work, Zhang Bojin has another secret. He has a "Treasure" book, which is the "Collection of Lishui and Cons" compiled by his father Zhang Hongchong for 16 years. This book collects articles made by the Grade 3 of the Classics in 20 years. Each article has a pros and cons comment on pros and cons, and summarizes a set of writing patterns. Not only that, Zhang Hongchong also surveys the figures who may become the examiner, analyzes their preferences for the style of the article, and speculates the hot topics of the question based on major events in the court and the public opinion trends, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure book.

The students of the academy are going to go back to the prefecture where they are located to participate in the provincial examination. Zhang Bojin is very confident. With his efforts and the treasure book in his hand, he will definitely be able to pass the provincial examination in Dezhou next year. Zhang Bojin's ambitions will not only pass the imperial examination. He will become Jie Yuan and then become the world-famous top scholar.
