At noon, the three Landas who had received their homework went home, while the remaining male students who were going to continue classes stayed in the school to eat.
Mama Liu, who was beside Wang Ruofu, led three female servants carrying food boxes in from the outside. In a blink of an eye, all kinds of exquisite fruits and hot and cold dishes were spread all over the table.
Every time a dish was served, Mother Liu announced the name of the dish, such as "steamed fish lips with snow clams", "roasted eel lake with sweet-scented osmanthus", "braised herring"... They were all bright in color and fragrant.
Because among the guests entertained this time were not only Zhuang Jun, who had traveled extensively and experienced a lot, but also Qi Heng, who was born in a prince's family and had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. In order to maintain the dignity of the Sheng family, Wang Ruofu used
I put a lot of thought into it.
She also specially sent people to a restaurant in Bianjing, spent a lot of money to ask the restaurant's head chef for advice, and learned the secret of cooking.
As a result, when this carefully prepared meal was brought to the school, it really shocked the whole audience. Even Sheng Changbai had never seen such a delicious dish cooked at home.
Everyone very conscientiously implemented the six-character motto of scholars, "Eat without talking and sleep without talking." They all ate with their heads down, and their luck was as fast as flying. During this period, it was inevitable that some degrading fights would occur.
"This is mine!"
"Mine!"
"Chang Feng, get out of here, or I'll let your brother beat you up!"
"Just beat me, wait until I finish eating this piece of meat..."
Seeing the students' useless looks, Mr. Zhuang Junzhuang sighed heavily.
At this time, some ignorant guy actually stretched out the tachyon in front of the husband.
Zhuang Jun's face darkened, and he looked up angrily, only to see his successor holding up Kuaizi and looking at him awkwardly.
"Teacher, I am young and it is the time when I am growing..."
"Get out!"
……
After lunch, Zhuang Jun continued his lecture.
In the morning class, Zhuang Jun's lectures were wild, eloquent and interesting, but in the afternoon class, the content of the lectures was much boring.
The afternoon class only talked about the art of imperial examination. In the first class, Zhuang Jun started from the most basic meaning of the Four Books and analyzed and explained it.
As the only son of the Duke, Qi Heng has been enlightened since he was seven years old. He has been extremely talented since he was a child and thinks highly of himself. He boasts that he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. But today, when he listened to Zhuang Jun's classics lecture for the first time, he actually felt that there were five
If you don’t understand, the remaining 50% will only have a partial understanding.
Unable to keep up step by step, Qi Heng listened more and more, feeling like he was listening to a book from heaven. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, and subconsciously turned to look at his classmates.
Wei Chen sat on a round table next to the big eucalyptus where Zhuang Jun was giving lectures. He was not listening to the lecture at all, but took a book and read it by himself.
Sheng Changbai sat upright in the first row, sometimes nodding and smiling, sometimes closing his eyes and meditating, as if he was comparing what he had learned in the past.
Sheng Changfeng listened to the class intently, obviously following Zhuang Jun's lecture ideas. Occasionally, he would frown in confusion and pick up his pen to write in his notebook.
Qi Heng was stunned.
Am I the only one who didn’t understand the co-authorship?
That's it for Wei Chen and Sheng Changbai. Qi Heng also has some knowledge of their past deeds and knows that these two are rare talents who passed the examination at a young age.
Wei Chen, in particular, was a master of both poetry and prose, and was extremely talented. He was even accepted by Zhuang Jun as his direct disciple, and he was well-known in Bianjing, thousands of miles away.
Although Qi Heng was surprised by their performance in class, he could still understand it.
However, even Sheng Changfeng, the third son of the Sheng family who was rumored to be uneducated and unskilled, performed better than himself, which Qi Heng couldn't accept.
Do you think that I, Qi Heng, the proud son of the Duke of Qi, turned out to be a poor student at the Sheng Family School?
Shock, frustration, hesitation, all kinds of unspeakable emotions were intertwined, lingering in Qi Heng's heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
An hour later, Zhuang Jun's lecture ended, and then it was time for students to ask questions.
Sheng Changbai was the first to stand up and asked two questions. After listening carefully to Zhuang Jun's answers, he returned satisfied.
Sheng Changfeng also opened the densely written notebook, which contained all the things he didn't understand during the lecture.
Perhaps because he felt that his question was too childish, Sheng Changfeng was too embarrassed to ask Zhuang Jun and instead found Wei Chen who was sitting next to the podium.
After Wei Chen's explanation, Sheng Changfeng showed a look of enlightenment on his face. He happily sat back down in his seat with his notebook in hand and wrote down his thoughts and feelings in the blank space next to the question.
Seeing that all the students were coming up to ask questions, Qi Heng was restless below and his expression was very embarrassing.
He had been thinking wildly throughout the entire class, and had not kept up with the progress of the class at all. He couldn't even ask questions if he wanted to!
Zhuang Jun on the podium noticed Qi Heng's strange behavior and said, "Yuan Ruo, do you have any questions to ask?"
"Student..., most of the students didn't understand." Qi Heng's face turned red from holding back, and he finally told the truth.
Zhuang Jun was startled for a moment, and then he stopped laughing: "This is because you are a teacher. I forgot that you haven't taken the boy's examination yet, and your foundation is much worse than them."
Now it's good, the reputation of poor student is confirmed. Feeling Sheng Changfeng's surprised look next to him, Qi Heng was so embarrassed that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Zhuang Jun raised his chin and motioned to Wei Chen who was standing aside: "Xingyun, from now on, you will tutor Yuan Ruo alone after every class. You must help him make up for the missed lessons."
Wei Chen felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. Sheng Changfeng plus three orchids were not enough, so he gave me another Qi Heng? Teacher, are you taking the job of being a shopkeeper too easily?
However, even though Wei Chen was full of complaints, after all, the teacher's orders could not be violated, and Wei Chen could only bow his head and obey orders.
"Yes, teacher."
At the end of the afternoon class, Zhuang Jun assigned homework to the students and went to Shou'an Hall to talk to Mrs. Sheng. Wei Chen was left to sit there, watching the students study by themselves, and answering their questions (mainly Qi Heng).<

After dinner, San Lan also returned to school, followed his two brothers for evening self-study, and completed the homework assigned by Zhuang Jun.
The three Lans received different assignments. Mo Lan had to memorize a 300-word section of "Nvjie", Rulan had to memorize three arithmetic problems, and Minglan had to write fifty words of "Yong".
About half an hour later, Rulan poked Qi Heng beside her: "Brother Yuanruo..., can't I answer this question?"
Qi Heng raised his head, saw the other party's ignorant and charming face, and said at a loss: "Um, fifth sister, what's your problem?"
"Today there is a dike that is two feet wide at the bottom, eight feet wide at the top, four feet high, and 12 feet wide, seven feet wide. What is the area?"
Qi Heng took a piece of writing paper, scratched his head and calculated for a long time, and finally shook his head in frustration: "I can't figure it out, otherwise you should ask the young gentleman, he seems to know everything."
Thinking of Wei Chen's relaxed demeanor when he was tutoring him alone in the afternoon class, Qi Heng couldn't help but secretly sighed. There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains. You can't accept it!
Ru Lan turned her head to look at Wei Chen, hesitated for a moment, and called out: "Mr."
"What's the matter?"
Ru Lan looked into Wei Chen's crystal clear eyes, her face turned slightly red, and she immediately said: "Little sir, I don't know how to answer this question. Please take a look at it for me."
"No need to look." Wei Chen replied without raising his head: "It's seven thousand one hundred and twelve feet."
Rulan was startled and said: "Mr., I haven't said the title yet!"
Wei Chen said calmly: "I heard everything when you were talking to Yuan Ruo just now, and I've already forgotten it."
"Have you calculated it?" Ru Lan was doubtful: "But you didn't use pen and paper, nor did you calculate chips..."
