Today is the last day of August, and Qingxi Academy has a monthly exam.
Zhu Hongan naturally told Su Liuer that he would have an exam today. Su Liuer just told him to do well and not to be too nervous, and he himself was not too nervous either.
But Zhou Chong was quite nervous.
I went to the classroom early to study, and as soon as I saw Zhu Hongan coming, I went up to him.
"Hongan, are you nervous about your first exam? I was also very nervous when I took my first exam last year. I was so nervous that I even had a stomachache, but I'm much better now. Don't be too nervous. The teacher said you did a good job in your studies. You will definitely have no problem with this little monthly exam."
Zhou Chong, who was extremely nervous, immediately came up to comfort Zhu Hongan because he felt that Zhu Hongan was young and more likely to be nervous.
Zhu Hongan looked at Zhou Chong and nodded, "Okay."
Zhou Chong added: "The top three in every monthly exam will receive a reward. I don't know what the reward is this month. Usually it's pens, ink, paper, or books. I don't know what it will be this month. It would be great if it could be a pen." His pen began to shed hairs and it wouldn't last much longer.
Zhu Hongan nodded again after hearing this. Everyone in the academy knew that he was not a talkative person, so Zhou Chong continued talking on his own.
He told Zhu Hongan about the precautions and tips for the monthly exam. Zhu Hongan listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Gradually, all the students arrived. After talking for a while, Zhou Chong felt a lot more relaxed. He patted Zhu Hongan on the shoulder and wished him good luck, then returned to his seat.
Zhou Chong entered the enlightenment class last winter when he was ten years old, which was considered relatively late, but he was very hardworking, so his grades have always been good, and he basically always ranks among the top three in every exam.
So he received rewards for monthly exams many times, and this became a way for him to reduce the burden on his family. So he would be nervous every time and would work very hard to prepare for the monthly exams.
Han Wu's family was relatively well-off, so he could go to school with Han Wen. However, he was not very smart and did not study very hard. He was never among the top three and was often even ranked last.
So compared to Zhou Chong's anticipation for the monthly exam, Han Wu really hates the monthly exam.
He is always unhappy when it comes to monthly exams.
But today, he appeared in the classroom in a good mood, causing people who knew him to look at him strangely.
Only Zhu Hongan didn't look at him.
A moment later, the teacher walked into the classroom with the test paper, and everyone immediately quieted down.
The monthly examinations in the academy consist of two subjects: arithmetic and calligraphy.
Mingshu is actually dictation, and the writing score will also be included, which is equivalent to testing students' calligraphy at the same time.
There is a quarter-hour break between the two exams.
Zhou Chong looked a little nervous because he saw something during the exam. He secretly pulled Zhu Hongan into the corridor.
"Hong'an, I just saw Han Wu and Qin Dong passing notes to each other during the exam. Did you see it?" Zhou Chong whispered, not forgetting to look around to see if anyone was approaching.
Zhu Hongan shook his head. He was short and sat in the front, so he wouldn't notice Han Wu and Qin Dong behind him unless he looked carefully.
Zhou Chong scratched his head in frustration and said, "Do you think I should tell the Master? They are cheating, but if I tell the Master now, there is no evidence. Oh, I am too timid. I didn't dare to say anything when I saw it just now."
"Look again." Zhu Hongan said to Zhou Chong.
Zhou Chong nodded and said with a firm look, "If they cheat again later, I will tell the teacher immediately!"
