Chapter 139 A Thorn
Is it because the standby time is too long, the CPU needs to rest, or because the storage capacity is too large, it needs to be loaded?
No matter what the reason is, Song Jingyun's time of being in a daze is limited and quite fixed. When the time comes, he comes back to his senses, chats with Jiang Mixia with a smile on his face, and then goes to sleep easily as usual .

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the county examination.

The county examination is held in the examination room in the county seat. There are four examinations, and today is the first.

Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng sent Song Jingyun outside the examination room early, and joined Mencius Ting and others.

At this time, the morning light was twilight, and the sky was not yet bright. Mencius listened to count the number of students and confirmed that all eight students who took the exam had arrived. He was slightly relieved, and then explained to them the precautions for the exam.

As for answering the question, because I have said it many times on weekdays, and the answer is to test the reading skills on weekdays, it is completely useless to hold the buddha's feet temporarily, so Mencius didn't say too much, only said that when answering the question, the number of words in each line should be correct. requirements, and not to write outside the sealing line... Wait, such subtle rules.

In addition, it is to reconfirm that several people have brought enough drinking water, meals, pens and ink, etc.

After checking these things, Mencius felt relieved after hearing this, "This is the first time. You guys have worked hard in your studies on weekdays, and your foundation is also good. As long as you don't feel nervous in the exam, you should be fine..."

"Hey, who is this? He speaks in such a loud tone."

A little older, with a long beard, Tian Zhixing, who is also a teacher, sneered, "It's just a student who was brought out by a school teaching mathematics in a remote town, and it won't be much better if he wants to come to this book , thinking about passing the exam, what a joke?"

Such blatant sarcasm changed the expressions of Song Jingyun and others.

Mencius looked at Tian Zhixing, who was as annoying as before, and his anger was also rising, "I don't know if I have a bad breath, but I think it's better than some people with a bad mouth. There are many."

Tian Zhixing was naturally displeased when he was reprimanded, but thinking that Mencius today is just an ordinary and shabby little academy teacher, he also felt happy in his heart, and said quietly, "That can't compare to yours. Bad reputation."

When Mencius heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily.

Tian Zhixing said that he has a bad reputation, which is true.

Moreover, this matter was so widely spread that Mencius Ting could no longer continue his studies at the county school and had to return home.

That was seven years ago, when Mencius listened to the scholar who had just been admitted.

Mencius had excellent grades in listening, and he was the best in the two exams, and became a meal student in the county school. In addition to studying in the county school for free, he also received a monthly meal fee from the county school, which is enviable. respect.

However, it is also enviable.

Not long after studying in the county school, someone reported that Mencius stole 20 taels of silver after hearing Cai's idea.

Later, when the head of the county school investigated the matter, he found the 20 taels of silver from Mencius Ting's pillow. At that time, someone said that Mencius Ting had sneaked into the room of the student who lost the silver coins, and was sneaky when he left. Hey, I'm holding something in my hand.

And the person who was the witness was Tian Zhixing.

Faced with the situation of witnesses and material evidence, even if the head of the mountain believed that Mencius Ting was a man of good conduct, he could not show any partiality. However, considering the future of Mencius Ting, he did not report the matter to the official, but only made a private statement. deal with.

Return 20 taels of silver to the owner, and need to pay an additional ten taels of silver.

Mencius heard that he had no choice but to go home, sold a piece of land in his family, and settled the matter completely, and the matter was settled.

However, the pacification is only superficial.

The whole county was not big in the first place, and there were very few scholars, and the scholars in the county would often get together to discuss knowledge, so the news naturally spread faster.

Almost all the scholars in the county knew that Mencius had stolen other people's money and that he was a man with unclean hands and feet.

The way others watched Mencius listened changed, and gossip increased.

"Tsk, seeing his excellent grades, I didn't expect his conduct to be so poor."

"Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, reading a lot does not necessarily mean a good character."

"This kind of person is also worthy of being a scholar? It really loses the face of a scholar and loses the integrity of a scholar!"

"But don't let this kind of person win the election, otherwise you really don't know what rascal things you will do..."

Mencius Ting was isolated, and some people even pointed to his nose and abused Mencius Ting when they met him.

Although he is mentally strong, he who recognizes himself is clear, but this situation has seriously affected him. He can't eat well, can't sleep, and he can't calm down when he is studying.

After failing several times in the county school's monthly exams, in order to concentrate on his studies, Mencius had to leave the county school and go home to study.

And in order to be able to reduce the burden on the family, he began to be a teacher who taught.

Zhang Wenbin left the county school together with him at that time, and later discussed with him to establish the current Hongle Academy.

This incident has always been a thorn in Mencius Ting's heart.

Even if the time is long enough, the scars on the outside appear to be gone, but the thorn inside is festering.

Especially the culprit who caused the thorn was standing in front of him.

Mencius Ting's clenched fist wanted to hit Tian Zhixing's face, making that hateful man disappear in front of him.

But if he really moved his hand and caused a commotion outside the examination room, it might affect the students who came to take the exam today.

Tian Zhixing came here to provoke at this time, maybe he wanted him to be impatient and fall into his trap.

Now, he must endure it!

Mencius snorted coldly and ignored Tian Zhixing.

"To tell the truth, some people will be speechless." Tian Zhixing's villainous man, Lao Gao with his chin raised, smacked his lips even more. Been a thief all my life!"

Mencius' face turned pale with anger, he gritted his teeth, but tried his best to calm himself down.

Song Jingyun listened there for a long time, scratched his head, pulled Lu Yuming beside him and said, "Do you know why Master doesn't want to answer?"

Lu Yuming didn't expect that Song Jingyun, who always obeyed the rules and didn't like to talk, suddenly commented on the matter of his wife today, and said it so loudly. He was stunned at first, and then shook his head, "I don't know."

"Because this dog has bitten a person, it can't be bitten back. Then it is no different from a dog." Song Jingyun chuckled.

Lu Yuming and other students were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

Even Mencius laughed when he heard that, "That's right, that's the reason. There's no reason to bite back with a dog."

"you……"

　Calvin is a bit strong. After sorting out the outline, he wanted to be lazy and update [-] words today, but... reason finally took the high ground!
