Today is Lin He’s first day at school as a student. Liu Yang and Li Yiran are waiting for him at the door.
When the two saw Lin He, they walked over quickly.
"Dude, you're a real genius, aren't you? You've only been in school for a short time and you've already passed the exam. How are we ordinary people supposed to survive?"
Li Yiran and I have been at Mingde Academy for three years, and we just got into Class A this year. You're really good."
Liu Yang gave a thumbs up as he spoke.
Li Yiran also asked: "Congratulations, Lin He. Are you going to go to a college instead of studying in our school from now on?"
Lin He found it difficult to answer this question because he himself didn't know what to do next.
So he said, "I haven't decided yet. I came here today to ask the Master for his opinion."
The two nodded in understanding.
"By the way, have you heard of Qu Xiangbai?" Lin He asked them.
"No, who is this person? Where are you, Li Yiran?"
Liu Yang turned around and asked his friends around him.
As expected, Li Yiran also shook his head and said he didn't know.
"By the way, why are you asking about him?" Liu Yang was curious.
Lin He didn't want to say too much, and just said that he was asking for someone else.
But I was wondering why no one in the school had heard of the dean's favorite student.
And Qing Cang appeared just outside the city.
When they arrived at the door of Class A, Lin He separated from them and went to find Jiang Yueyin.
When he arrived at Jiang Yueyin's residence, Lin He saw the secretary guarding the door and knew that Jiang Yueyin was there.
"Brother Shishu, is the teacher busy? I have some questions I want to ask you, please let me know." Lin He clasped his fists and bowed.
The secretary answered him politely.
"The gentleman knew you were coming and had been waiting for you since early morning. Come in."
After saying that, he stepped aside.
"Thank you, Brother Shishu."
He went up and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
When Lin He pushed the door open, Jiang Yueyin was reading a book.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he put the book aside.
"Sit down, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin He walked over and sat on a chair beside him.
"The student passed the exam and came to tell the teacher." Lin He said.
Jiang Yueyin looked at Lin He in front of him and thought: This kid obviously has something to do, but he insists on saying he is here to report good news.
Everyone in the academy knew that he passed the examination and became a Tongsheng less than half a year after entering the school, and he was still pretending to be so.
So he deliberately said: "Oh? Really? Congratulations, you are indeed a good student. I have been too busy recently and haven't paid much attention to the county exam. I understand, now go study."
…
After hearing what he said, Lin He started to look like a young man again. He said anxiously, "Actually, I came here to ask for your help."
"Little guy, I can't cure you?" Jiang Yueyin thought to himself.
But he asked with concern: "What's the matter? Tell me, I'll see if I can help."
"It's like this. I plan to take part in the provincial examination in May. I don't know whether I should continue to stay in our Mingde School or find a college to study in. I would like to ask the teacher for some advice?" Lin He said.
Jiang Yueyin asked in confusion: "Why are you in such a hurry? You can take the exam three years later. Even if you pass the exam by chance, you won't get a very good ranking.
Even if you are a genius with a photographic memory, can you compare with someone who has prepared for three years in just three months?
Lin He knew that the teacher said this for his own good, but he had to become a scholar. He didn't want his mother's wool business and his second brother's skills to have to wait another three years because of him.
He didn't want to take it slow.
So he replied: "I'm sorry for causing you to worry because of some personal reasons."
Jiang Yueyin sighed and asked him, "Have you thought it through? You really don't want to get a good ranking? With your qualifications, getting the top prize in three years won't be a problem."
"The students have thought it through. They feel that both first and last place are the same as the title of a scholar, so the ranking is not important."
Seeing that he insisted on his own opinion, Jiang Yueyin did not force him and said to him: "You are still far from being a scholar. My suggestion is that you don't need to study with me. It's useless to go to the crowded academy.
It is best to find someone with good knowledge to teach you alone and provide you with tutoring.
It's just that it's so hard to find someone like this. If it took a long time, I could help you, but there are less than three months left. Where can I find someone for you?
"I'm Qu Xiangbai, the owner of Yunshang Bookstore. How is Mr. Qu?" Lin He asked.
"Qu Xiangbai? You still know him? How did you know him? I remember that he seldom interacted with people, especially scholars." Jiang Yueyin asked in surprise.
Lin He said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, my mother wrote a storybook out of boredom, and it was noticed by Chen Zongwen, the owner of Yunshang Book Pavilion. That's how I got to know their boss."
"Is there such a fate? It seems your mother is quite knowledgeable. It would be great if Qu Xiangbai could teach you. You may not know this, but he was once the favorite student of Cai Hong, the principal of Qingcang Academy.
Later, due to some events, my first place in the imperial examination was cancelled," said Jiang Yueyin.
Lin He was surprised: "If he is so powerful, why has no one in the school heard of him? I even asked other students about him."
"Hahaha……"
Jiang Yueyin laughed and said, "Silly boy, of course it's because Qu Xiangbai is not a name he used to use.
Go ask around and see if any of the students in the academy have heard of Qu Qingheng's name."
Lin He: ...
Not to mention others, even he, who had been in school for less than half a year, knew who Qu Qingheng was.
