Among the laughter and laughter, Yao Jinrong's face was the only one whose face was gray and ugly.
He couldn't tell what the calligraphy man was, it was Xia Qingzhai who was clearly laughing at him!
But this time, he was already riding a tiger, and it would be a real loss of face if he gave in.
Maybe Xia Qingzhai is just pretending to be like this now, hoping to scare him off so that he can avoid being exposed as uneducated and unskilled...
Yao Jinrong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Okay! Then I also promise that if the article you write is really good, I will salute and apologize to you in public, quit the county school immediately and never come back, okay?"
The crowd booed: "Apologizing is what you should do, and quitting the county school is also what you should do. What kind of punishment is this?"
"Let him kneel down and kowtow! Write an apology article and post it on the wall of the county school for everyone to see!"
"So shameless, I am ashamed to be with this person!"
Yao Jinrong turned a deaf ear and just stared at Tong Su fiercely. Tong Su looked at him with a smile but not a smile, and smiled: "Since this is the highest level of punishment that Brother Yao can accept, I will agree to it."
Everyone sighed with regret and cast more and more contemptuous eyes on Yao Jinrong.
Jin Wenting raised his hand, and a few of his guards quickly walked over quickly, carefully lifted up Tong Su's article, and carefully pasted it on the wall.
All the students rushed to watch.
Yao Jinrong was so anxious that his heart was in his throat, his fists were clenched, and a layer of sweat broke out on his palms. He wished he could stretch his neck to two feet long so that he could get over the crowd and read the articles written on the wall.
How long did it take Xia Qingzhai to sit down before he dared to write an article? What could he write? He also writes so fast and can write so well!
These classmates will definitely disperse with laughter soon, and maybe they will even scream in disgust, startling everyone...
"ah!"
The student who rushed to the article suddenly let out a high-pitched yell, startling everyone around him!
"Ah! Can 'not follow the rules' be such a ridiculous idea? I know it is a sentence in "Mencius", but to explain it like this... God, why didn't I think of it?"
"Xia Qingzhai is worthy of being the leader of the county and government examinations back then! Xia Qingzhai is really good! I've told you a long time ago that even if he didn't study well some time ago, he will definitely catch up."
"You haven't seen how profoundly he studied in the past few months! In addition to sleeping for three and a half hours every day, he even read during meals!"
"I can't give him so much, no wonder his articles are not as good as his. I'm not jealous at all that Xia Qingzhai is a scholar, I really admire him!"
Yao Jinrong was shocked as he listened to everyone's praise, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Are these people praising Xia Qingzhai
Xia Qingzhai wrote a good article that shocked everyone
How can it be!
They must be...acting...
Yao Jinrong turned his expectant gaze to Xu Yincheng.
Brother Xu is the best student in the county in reading the "Five Classics". I had never thought where the question "not following the rules" came from before. Now people in the audience said it was "Mencius". I want to know who can write the best. Well, Yao Jinrong believes it is Brother Xu the most.
This Xu student was standing seriously in front of the article posted on the wall at this moment. He read it carefully several times before slowly turning his head and looking at Tong Su.
