"Zichu, this is a friend I met in Renhe County this time. His name is Lin Liansheng. He is currently living with me with his brother."
"Yes. Hello, my name is Qin Zichu, and I'm Rong Jun's friend."
Lin Liansheng was a little surprised that Zhuang Rongjun would introduce her friend to him.
The woman in front of him was obviously rich or noble, and was from the same circle as Zhuang Rongjun. As for him, he was just here to repay a favor, and he didn't think he was qualified to be Zhuang Rongjun's friend.
However, since Zhuang Rongjun introduced her like this, Lin Liansheng would not be offended.
"Hello, Miss Qin, my name is Lin Liansheng."
Zhuang Rongjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qin Zichu said "hmm" and then just chatted casually for a few words without showing any interest in Lin Liansheng.
If possible, she didn't want to conflict with Qin Zichu.
Of course, if a conflict really arises, she will not give Lin Liansheng to anyone else.

This year is the 146th year of the Great Sheng Dynasty. The county examination is in February, the prefectural examination is in April, and tomorrow in August, the academy examination will be held.
After a student passes the academy examination, he can become a scholar.
That day, after the private school was over, Li Xiucai led Zhang Xiulin and two other students to the county government office.
This year, five of Li Xiucai's students took the county exam and were all accepted. They then took the prefectural exam, but two failed. Even so, to have Zhang Xiulin top the list, Li Xiucai's teaching achievements were already very good.
"Xiu Lin, why did the master suddenly take us to see the county magistrate?"
"Yes, we haven't done anything wrong. I only saw the county magistrate once from a distance during the county examination. Now that we're meeting in private, I'm really nervous."
In the hearts of the people, officials are majestic figures.
Zhang Xiulin didn't know why the master wanted to take them to see Lord Bai. She said, "Don't think too much. Maybe it's a good thing."
"Too."
"But have you noticed recently? The gentleman seems a little different."
"I feel like the teacher isn't in good health. He sometimes seems listless during lectures. I just saw him vomiting, and I don't know if there's something wrong with him. I asked him, and he said he was fine."
"How about this, after we meet the county magistrate, we'll try again and take the gentleman to the clinic to see a doctor." Zhang Xiulin suggested.
The other two nodded.
Mr. Li is very strict with them on a daily basis, and he is even more methodical when teaching them, but this does not prevent them from admiring Mr. Li.
Li Xiucai led them into the government office smoothly.
Speaking of which, Li Xiucai and Lord Bai have a very close relationship. After all, one of them married Wei Ming and the other married Wei Xuan, and Wei Ming and Wei Xuan are brothers.
Soon, they met the county magistrate Bai Heng.
Bai Heng has a cold and elegant appearance, and carries the authority of an official. His expressionless face gives people a feeling of alienation and difficulty in getting close to him.
But this time, her attitude was distant yet friendly.
She asked about their learning progress and answered their questions, which benefited several people a lot.
Bai Heng, who was a Jinshi, was still superior to Li Xiucai.
Afterwards, she encouraged the three of them.
The encouragement from a Jinshi made the three of them cheer.
"By the way, here are three letters of recommendation, recommending that you attend the county school."
The county school was a school officially established during the Dasheng Dynasty. The county school had a teacher, who was a juren.
Private schools are privately run by the private sector.
In comparison, the teaching staff of the county school is better than that of the private school.
