Zhao Chuchu looked at Zhang Xiulin beside her.
The little girl happened to look up in that direction, then quickly looked back, without a trace of emotion on her face, as if the person being questioned was not her.
"Why don't you try to refute it?" Zhao Chuchu poked her and said half-jokingly.
Zhang Xiulin shook his head and grumbled, "Boring!" He added, "Instead of arguing here, it's better to go back and rest and recharge your energy."
Zhao Chuchu choked and said, "Tsk tsk, luckily those people didn't hear it. If they had heard it, they would probably explode. It's so infuriating."
"Okay, let's go back and rest."
Zhao Chuchu patted her shoulder and pulled her husband upstairs.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Zhang Xiulin is there."
In an instant, all eyes were cast in the direction of Zhao Chuchu and the other two.
"Zhang Xiulin, we are holding a literary gathering here to make friends through literature. You should come and join us."
"Yes, you are a genius in Renhe County. You are in the top of the circle in this county exam."
Zhang Xiulin stopped and looked over, only to see two people singing in unison.
She had a photographic memory and remembered who the two people were in an instant.
Ever since she showed her extraordinary talent for reading, there were people who envied her and naturally there were also people who were jealous of her.
These two people are the latter. They are students of Chen Xiucai in Renhe County.
Zhang Xiulin's husband was Li Xiucai. It is said that Li Xiucai and Chen Xiucai were close friends when they were young. They took part in the imperial examination together, but later for some reason, they broke up and severed their friendship.
Even after they opened a private school, they still had no contact with each other.
Not only that, the students on both sides disliked each other, especially Chen Xiucai's students. When they met Li Xiucai's students, they would always come up and roar at them like mad dogs.
Zhang Xiulin didn't know what was going on between her husband and Chen Xiucai, but she didn't like Chen Xiucai.
Not long ago, Chen Xiucai tried to bribe her and wanted her to transfer to her private school.
After Zhang Xiulin refused, her face immediately turned ugly and she made several cold and sarcastic remarks.
The pace of the people around them was set by the two of them.
"That's Zhang Xiulin. She's so young, she looks like she's less than ten years old."
"She should know what's going on here. Why doesn't she come over?"
"Why else? Do you really think she's a genius? I guess she passed the county exam by sheer luck. She has no real talent or knowledge, so naturally she doesn't dare to show her face now."
"I don't think so, but she looks quite nice."
Zhang Tian's face looked very ugly for a moment. As the student praised by her teacher as the one with the greatest possibility of becoming a Jinshi, everyone's eyes were on her wherever she went. She also enjoyed this feeling. But now that Zhang Xiulin appeared, all eyes were on her.
Zhang Xiulin, of course she knew.
Private school teachers from various counties in Tangzhou Prefecture often get together to make friends through literature or to discuss teaching experiences.
When discussing teaching experiences, it is inevitable to mention one's favorite students.
The proud student that Li Xiucai of Renhe County often talks about is Zhang Xiulin.
Her husband once took Zhang Xiulin's articles from Li Xiucai and gave them to them for their appreciation, and he praised Zhang Xiulin very much.
The teacher said that she, Zhang Tian, might pass the imperial examination, but Zhang Xiulin was 100% certain to be the top scholar.
By comparison, the difference is immediately apparent.
