Qinjinzhou Academy has ten-day exams, monthly exams, and half-year exams. The mid-term exams and monthly exams are just small tests, which are counted into daily grades, while the half-year exams are considered major exams, which are related to class rankings.
Qiezhou School essentially implements small class teaching, with no more than ten students in a Class A class, divided according to learning progress, but occasionally there are particularly outstanding ones who are promoted or skipped a grade after taking a half-year exam.
Shen Ling originally planned to be promoted during the half-year exam, hoping to enter the first-level class, but now a big competition suddenly popped up in the college, disrupting the plans for the ten-month exam and the monthly exam. Will it affect the next half-year exam? There is no way to know about the big exam.
"Brother and Madam Shen, this is an extraordinary opportunity for the competition. As far as I know, all the scholars in Class A have been privately seeking tutoring recently. I am afraid they all want to compete for the top five!"
Li Shoucheng spoke eloquently to Zhuang Keqing and encouraged him to the best of his ability, but his eyes were vaguely drifting to the young man who was holding tea and drinking at the side, and he felt very uneasy in his heart.
Can Brother Shen agree? Will he agree?
"What would you say if you get one of the top five?"
When Zhuang Keqing saw that Mr. Li kept mentioning the top five seats, he wondered if there was some great prize that could make the scholars flock to it so much.
"If you can get into the top five, you can get the chance to be taught by the dean of the state college every week!"
"So this dean is..."
When mentioning that person, Li Shoucheng's expression showed some eager pride and pride.
"Brother Shen and Madam Shen don't know that the current dean of Qinjinzhou School is Shaolun, Shaoziyu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, known as the Heavenly Official. Rather than expounding scriptures and explaining history, he was no less generous than the Taifu, not to mention that he used his position of real power to persuade the emperor to reform the officialdom. He was indeed a model for officials in the world."
Li Shoucheng put his hands behind his back, raised his chin slightly, and made an impassioned speech, waiting for Zhuang Keqing to bow to the ground and lower his hands in submission.
"Then was this civil service reform successful?"

Who would have thought that the girl, with her moist almond eyes shining with curiosity, asked such a sentence, which hit the nail on the head.
"Forehead……"
Li Shoucheng was embarrassed.
Of course it didn’t work!
If he succeeded, why would he resign and travel far away? What chance would the state school have to recruit him as the dean?
Seeing the other party hesitating and looking around, Zhuang Keqing felt relieved.
Is it because the big boss failed in the political struggle and then washed his hands and fled the world?
But those who are qualified to explain the scriptures to the emperor must also have some real talent and practical knowledge. If he can get his guidance, coupled with Aling's talent, he will be able to soar into the sky in the future, and it will be just around the corner.
Zhuang Keqing squinted his eyes and already had a conclusion in his mind.
In this case, she has to book one of the first five seats!

But now, the most important thing is to convince Aling, and Mr. Li is not afraid of him running away.
"Master Li, it's not early today, why don't you stay in the humble house and have a late meal?"
Zhuang Keqing secretly thought about it, stood up, spoke in a friendly and gentle tone, and arched his eyebrows.
Li Shoucheng nodded hurriedly. He wished he could stay here for a while so that he could find an opportunity to pester someone to agree.
But Shen Ling didn't give him any face. He just frowned slightly, put down the teacup, stood up and went back to the house, leaving only the cold figure of the other party.
"Ah, Brother Shen..."
After all, Li Shoucheng was a guest and was uninvited, so how could he enter the room at will? At this moment, when he saw Shen Ling still looking so indifferent, he felt helpless and tired.
I think he, the chief of Huaiqing Academy, has been praised and held up by people wherever he goes. How has he ever been so wronged?
But when I look back and think about the shock I felt when I saw the other party's trial policy discussion, I feel that I can endure it a little longer.
On the other hand, Zhuang Keqing watched Li Shoucheng's every move and couldn't help but find him interesting.

When I first met this little scholar, I was impulsive and young. When I saw him again, he was arrogant and proud. But no matter what, the other person's intention to be friends with Aling has never changed, and he has even given up his arrogant attitude now. , he came to the door, which shows that his character is firm.
In this case, it's better to help him and give Aling a chance.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Keqing couldn't help but look at Li Shoucheng with some inexplicable kindness, which made the little scholar tremble all over.
"Brother Shen and Madam, this, I..."
"Young master Li, there is no need to see anyone outside. Just call me Miss Zhuang."
Zhuang Keqing pushed the snacks on the small table forward, prepared a cup of tea for him, and said, "I will advise Aling again, so you don't have to worry."
"Just wait for my good news."
Li Shoucheng breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, today was not in vain. With Miss Zhuang's guarantee, he thought the matter was at least 80% done!
At dinner time, four people sat around and ate in the banker's house.
Li Shoucheng called himself classmate Shen Ling. He was very tender and liked Qin Manzhi very much. During the dinner, he was serving food and asking for more food, and he was very enthusiastic.
"It turns out that Miss Zhuang and Aunt Qin did a small business, but I have never heard of what this tofu is?"
Li Shoucheng's family is also wealthy, and he has no worries about food and clothing. In addition, he can read, so some rare things in the family are given to him first. It can be said that he is not interested in other things.
But now you say that the business run by Brother Shen’s wife and family sells things that you have never heard of. That’s really strange.
"Then give it a try and see how it goes."
Qin Manzhi didn't say much, just scooped out a piece of soft tofu stewed in thick white fish soup and gave it to him.
It's white square in shape and looks ordinary.
Li Shoucheng took a look and put it in his mouth without thinking.
"Hey! Slow down..."
It was still too late to scream. The little scholar was so hot that he grinned. However, the etiquette education he had received since childhood prevented him from spitting out the things in his mouth. He finally swallowed the ball in his mouth and felt the hot thing moving along. His throat went all the way down until he was holding on to the table, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
By the time he calmed down, his face was completely red, and his previous reserved and scholarly temperament was gone.
"Tofu should be eaten more slowly. Why don't you try this again?"
Li Shoucheng had been punished once, so how could he dare to accept it again? He stretched out his hand and refused again and again.
"It is given by the elders and cannot be turned away."
Unexpectedly, when the cold voice came to mind, Shen Ling, who had been silent all this time, spoke.
Li Shoucheng's resisting hand paused slightly, and he secretly glanced at the young man with indifferent eyes. His shoulders immediately slumped, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.
"What Brother Shen said is true. It is a gift from the elders that cannot be declined. Aunt Qin, I will give you more!"
After saying that, he let Qin Manzhi put various kinds of roasted tofu and fried tofu into his bowl, looking heroic.
Zhuang Keqing was extremely happy.
Arling, you are really mean-spirited. Isn't this bullying a child?
A meal that makes both host and guest happy, tofu plays an important role.

After seeing off Li Shoucheng in the evening, Zhuang Keqing and his mother tidied up the house. When they entered the house, they pulled Shen Ling over for a long chat.
"Aling, why don't you want to be friends with Mr. Li?"
"I think that although he was a bit arrogant before, he has a good nature and he sincerely wants to make friends with you."
In fact, Shen Ling was not completely unswayed. He knew in his heart that what Li Shoucheng said was true. In terms of arithmetic, music and archery, he was indeed unable to compare with other well-educated students from well-established scholarly families.
As for the top five seats, he is bound to get them, so he has to rely on the resources held by Li Shoucheng.
But at this time, he was just playing with the delicate hands of the girl in his palm, looking at her with a faint smile.
"Ke'er, thank you for always thinking about me."
"Do you know why I kept rejecting Li Shoucheng a few days ago?"
"Why?"
Zhuang Keqing really didn't understand why Aling still refused when people came to her door asking for shelter.

"Li Shoucheng, who became famous at a young age, is arrogant and arrogant. When he first entered school, he even competed with me and wanted to compete."
"If a person like him comes when I call him, he will not notice him as time goes by."
Shen Ling's voice was calm and calm, and he did not describe in detail what happened in the first few days of school. However, Zhuang Keqing could still imagine that with the arrogance and arrogance of the young master in the past, he would not give Aling a good look. .
"So you are..."
"Yes, Ke'er is smart, I just tried to dampen his spirit a little."
