Xiao Cunyu coughed solemnly, "What are you saying? He's my best friend and brother, I'm thinking about his future..."
"You went to the library yesterday but were turned away. Do you want him to go to the library to find books for you after the ten-day exam? Why don't you go by yourself instead of going through so much trouble?" Zhuang Jiulang didn't believe her at all, but after a quick thought, he could guess the general idea.
Xiao Cunyu knew that this person was not easy to appease.
"Studying is both mentally and time-consuming. I still have a lot of talismans to draw, so where would I find the time?" Xiao Cunyu said as he took out a thick stack of blank yellow talismans from his arms.
Zhuang Jiulang was stunned for a moment.
Wenchang pen, cinnabar ink, and yellow talisman paper.
A small statue of the god is placed in front, and copper coins are used to tell fortunes about the prosperous times.
When Xiao Cunyu was drawing talismans, he had to wash his hands, hold his breath, concentrate his mind and preserve his energy. How could he have the time to do anything else?
"Then why don't you ask me for help?" Zhuang Jiulang asked again.
Xiao Cunyu glanced at him and said, "You? Are you sure you can pass the ten-day exam?"
"Compared to Zhou Jingmao, I should have a greater chance of passing, right?" Zhuang Jiulang was quite confident.
Xiao Cunyu chuckled, "I've calculated it, and you'll definitely fail the ten-day exam. Maybe you're just a weakling on the outside, looking strong, but actually even worse than Zhou Jingmao. But men like us, so I won't spread the news everywhere. But after the ten-day exam, you won't be able to hide your strength anymore, and you'll definitely be laughed at. I hope you're prepared and don't be too sad."
Zhuang Jiulang had a strange face, so she was too lazy to calculate.
But the ten-day examination is a major event held every ten days in Wanjun Academy. Without even looking at his face, she could tell that Zhuang Jiulang would not pass.
After hearing her words, Zhuang Jiulang was silent for a while.
Xiao Cunyu's fortune-telling skills were indeed quite accurate. The ten-day exam was in a few days, and by then, he wouldn't be prepared to pass and attract attention. But she could actually predict it now, she was truly a genius.
Although Xiao Cunyu was talking to Zhuang Jiulang, he did not forget to urge Zhou Jingmao to study.
Zong Ling and others came to play with Zhou Jingmao, but were driven away by Xiao Cunyu.
Xiao Cunyu had been practicing spells and drawing some simple talismans during class time, and most of what the teacher said went in one ear and out the other.
But in the afternoon, the teacher was replaced.
Before the martial arts class started, an old man arrived.
Everyone couldn't help sighing when they saw the old man. Even Zhou Jingmao was stunned: "Xiao Qi, we don't understand what he said..."
Xiao Cunyu looked over.
What old man? This is Mr. Lin!
But at this time, Mr. Lin was wearing very simple clothes, just like the way he looked when she saw him in Yuzhou that year. His hair was flying in disorder and he was carrying a wine gourd by his side. He looked like a poor and down-and-out man who was pretending to be unrestrained.
It is completely different from what it looked like at Nantai Temple. No wonder Zhou Jingmao, the silly boy, couldn't recognize it even though he had seen it once!
"If you don't understand, just write down every word." Xiao Cunyu said.
Mr. Lin glanced at her a few times.
Xiao Cunyu rubbed his eyebrows, wondering what the old man was doing.
Could it be... Xiao Cunyu glanced at Zhuang Jiulang, then quickly retracted his gaze, cleared his mind of thoughts, and didn't think about anything else.
There's no point in thinking so much, it has nothing to do with her.
Zhou Jingmao is still in high spirits and is relatively obedient.
However, he wrote too slowly and couldn't keep up in many places.
Compared to Master Zhu's lectures, Lin Gong's were much more profound, but they weren't about the imperial examinations either. Instead, he focused on the terrain of the world's famous mountains and rivers, focusing on the topography between the states of Chang and Feng. He also covered local customs, crop growth, and the various battles that had occurred in those areas over the years...
There were many allusions and a wide range of content in the speech. Xiao Cunyu listened to it with great interest and rarely did anything else.
