At the end of the morning class, all the students were not in a hurry to go to the chef for dinner, but stood at the gate of the college looking forward to it.

In the past, Zou Xiujie was with Li Jin, and occasionally Chen Xiran would be added.

Lu Changdong wanted to have a deep friendship with Li Jin for a long time, but he never had this opportunity.

Now, both Zou Xiujie and Chen Xiran went home because of the exams, and they don't know when they will come to the academy next time. Lu Changdong will seize the opportunity.

He is about the same age as Li Jin, watching everyone run out and take a good seat, intending to pay homage to the grace of Old Man Pang.

Lu Changdong also rushed out with the current, leaving Li Jin's sentence, "I will help you occupy a seat."

After that, regardless of whether Li Jin agreed or not, he just ran away.

When Li Jin walked out of the lecture hall, he could see Lu Changdong standing in front of the crowd very conspicuously, because he spread his thighs and took up a lot of space.It happened that he also saw Li Jin and waved to Li Jin.

Shouted: "I'm here! Have a seat!"

Li Jin was silent, he thought, luckily Lu Changdong didn't call out his name, otherwise it would be too shameful.

Li Jin walked over and said to him, "I plan to eat first."

After all he lives in the inner city, it takes less than half an hour to walk to the academy, and the food in the morning is not enough to support him in the afternoon.

Lu Changdong said: "You, don't you also respect Mr. Pang very much?"

Li Jin nodded: "Yes, but it is said that Pang Lao arrived in the afternoon, so when will he stand?"

Lu Changdong was unable to refute for a while, and then silently retracted his spread leg, "Then, shall we go to dinner together?"

Li Jin: "Also."

Li Jin bought chicken and vegetable cakes, while Lu Changdong had a sweeter taste, so he bought steamed pumpkin and corn.

Li Jin looked at his light eating, and compared with his own, Lu Changdong felt like Lu Changdong was not eating the fireworks in the world.

He suddenly missed Chen Xiran a little, at least the two of them could eat meat together.

However, Chen Xiran was talking about relatives recently, and probably won't be back to the academy soon.

After eating, there were already circle after circle of students on the side of the academy's copying veranda. If the two went again, they would not be able to stand in front.

Li Jin thought, instead of waiting here, it's better to go to the Math Department to study more advanced mathematics.

As a teaching assistant in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, after spending the busiest half a year when the Department of Mathematical Sciences was just started, I can relax recently.

Li Jin and Pan Youfeng split the work, with Li Jin on duty on odd-numbered days and Pan Youfeng on even-numbered days.

Calculating this way, Li Jin is actually on duty for one day more than Pan Youfeng, after all, the days of rest are in even numbers.

Pan Youfeng was a little embarrassed, but Li Jin didn't plan to break up the half-day duty.

"That's it. It's always because I have a lot of time to study and calculate. It's not a big deal to spend more time here."

Only then did Pan Youfeng agree, and it seemed that he still took advantage of Li Jin.

He said, "I will invite you to drink some other day."

It’s hard to imagine that in May last year, Pan Youfeng played tricks and speculations in order to make himself a little easier.

When he was not on duty in even numbers, Li Jin was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he would go to the Department of Economics to read books, often sitting all afternoon.

Li Jin didn't plan to rush to participate in Qiuwei. He had only been here for less than two years. Although he had memorized many imperial examination books during the period and learned to recite poems and make the right, the true literary background was not enough.

Not to mention other people, the various miscellaneous notes, travel notes, and wild history that his little husband has read are more than he has read.

Therefore, Li Jin intends to let himself settle for a few more years.

So that time can polish away the slightly impetuous aura of quick success.

On the road to the imperial examination, although Li Jin is currently in a good momentum, the Qiuwei examination is more detailed and profound, and it is not even the same system as the previous county, government, and hospital examinations.

Li Jin has the ambition to win the Xie Yuan crown, so he will not fight an unprepared battle.

It is said that learning pays attention to accumulation and prosperity.

If he really wants to participate in Qiuwei, Li Jin also intends to participate in the event four years later. Although there is a long interval, this is the safest decision.

If he were to participate in the next year's game, there is only one year and five months left until August next year. Even if Li Jin is devoted to preparing for the imperial examination, I am afraid that there is not enough time.

Not to mention that he plans to spend his free time practicing calligraphy and reading more books that expand his knowledge.

When Li Jin arrived at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Lu Changdong was not very interested in it, and went to the next door of the Department of Economics.

When Li Jin went there, none of the instructors from the School of Mathematical Sciences arrived. After he had calculated two questions, Wan Yun hurried over.

Wan Yun's complexion was pale, the sun was not poisonous at the moment, and his forehead was tanned.

"A Jin, bring me a cup of tea. After waiting for Pang Lao for so long, he is almost going to be peeled."

There was still no loud noise outside, which proved that Pang Lao hadn’t come yet. Wan Yun drank tea and said, “I’m not standing up anymore. Fortunately, the imperial examinations have a numbered room and a booth. I know if I can get it."

Before his voice fell, a cheering sound suddenly came to mind outside: "Old Pang!"

Li Jin was silent, Wan Yun squeezed the teacup in his hand angrily: "As soon as my front foot came back, Old Pang was here!"

Li Jin said: "If the teaching wants to pay homage to Pang Lao's demeanor, he can see clearly when he stands in front of the math department."

Of course Wan Yun knew that Li Jin was comforting him. After all, if he could hold on for a while, he would be able to greet Pang Lao outside the gate of the academy.

Li Jin sighed when he saw him, and said, "Why are you so obsessed with Pang Lao if the teaching Zhizhi is not writing?"

Wan Yun sighed again: "You don't understand."

He watched the old man pass through the Confucian Temple and went to the backyard, and said, "Pang Lao is the most famous person in our mansion. As a person in our mansion, can I not be excited to see him?"

Li Jin nodded with a serious face, pretending that what Wan Jiaoyu said was reasonable.

After a while, a young Stoudemire wearing a gray cloth bunting ran up, bowed, and asked: "Two gentlemen, Pang said to find someone with strong strength to help lift the cage, do you have time? "

Who will refuse now?

Li Jin's heart jumped violently, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.

The main reason is that most of the students are outside. The inner courtyard where Pang Lao lives is just separated by a wall from the Mathematical Department. It is no wonder that his little servant will come here to invite people.

When I arrived at Pang Lao's courtyard, Li Jin didn't even see the old man's face, so he followed Xiao Si to lift the five boxes.

Xiao Si continued to bow and said, "Thank you, Mr., for helping. The things in Pang Lao's cage are very precious. I am worried that when I carry it by myself, I will knock it wherever I go.

Wan Yun stood aside, he just beat the two of them, reminding them that there were steps under their feet.

After Li Jin and Wan Yun left, the young servant straightened his waist and entered the courtyard directly, sitting on the stone bench opposite Pang Lao. How could there be the cowardice who had just bowed down?

This person's name is Chen Yiding, who is the one who handed Li Jin a greeting card.

He panted tiredly, and poured Pang Lao a cup of good tea, and then slowly came over: "I said Pang Lao, since you are not willing to accept him as a disciple, why bother to come to the college again?"

Father Pang loved his tea and said, "The cow chews the peony!"

But he did not forget to answer, "Is the old man the one who waits to lose his promise? But if you want to be my apprentice, you have to pass me first."

Chen Yiding said: "You are always very principled. Since you asked me to pretend to be Stoudemire, then I will just say it. Li Jin didn't have any contempt for me just now. When lifting things, he deliberately lowered his hands, not only for safety, but also I took more weight on my side."

Speaking of this, Chen Yiding said: "Pang, what exactly is in your box? Seriously, if Li Jin had just taken the initiative to take care of me, my old waist would have been folded."

Seeing that he was going to open the box in front of him, Old Pang immediately couldn't hold back the cold expression on his face. He got up from the stone bench and ran faster than Chen Yiding.

"When will the old man allow you to look through the box?"

Chen Yiding suspiciously asked, "You don't really put stones in the box, do you?"

Old Pang: "Will the old man be such a boring person?"

Chen Yiding also felt that he was thinking too much when he saw what he said so hard.

He said, "I have to host a poem meeting this afternoon. I'm leaving first. I really hope that boy Wanyun didn't recognize me just now."

Wan Yun did not recognize it. After all, the Mr. Chen he met had always been personable, and his behavior was a model of scholars in Fucheng.

How could a gray-headed, hunched-back servant be recognized as Chen Yiding?

Besides, he is not very familiar with Mr. Chen, at most, he met a few times when he participated in the poem meeting.

Li Jin was a little strange. There was no cocoon on the hand of the young man who just lifted the box. It was clearly a pair of pampering hands.

But this has nothing to do with him, and Li Jin didn't want to go into it, so he decided to wait and see the changes.

Seeing Chen Yiding had gone, Pang Lao had just held the tea cup elegantly and squinted his eyes to taste tea. At this moment, the doctor put the tea cup down and ran to the cage.

He said: "It's so risky, I almost guessed it by Chen."

Pang Lao opened the box, and it was indeed a block of stones.

However, these stones are not simple. The surface is rough and has many holes. If soaked in water, it has the effect of adsorbing impurities.

Indeed, it has nothing to do with calligraphy.

Old Pang was holding the two stones and planned to put these boxes of stones one by one in the pool on the right side of the courtyard entrance.

Well, the corpses are destroyed.

Old Pang thought, if a person wants to write a good character, his arm must have enough strength, otherwise the written character will also collapse.

So being able to lift the stone is also a necessary test item.

"Pang Lao, you have another box that fell outside."

As soon as Mr. Chen came in, he saw Pang Lao holding a stone in his arms...

Chen Yiding: "?"

Pang Lao turned into anger after being petrified, "Are you not knocking at the door?"
