Chapter 138 Academy Gifts
Chapter 138 Academy Gifts
When talking about this county exam, Mr. Yuan patted his student on the shoulder with great satisfaction and praised: "Yun You, I knew you would have no problem taking the top spot in the county exam, and you did it!"
Chen Yunyou said modestly: "I also want to thank you for your cultivation over the years! Without your teachings, I would not be where I am today!"
Mr. Yuan stroked his sparse beard with great satisfaction at his student's humility. It was such a pity. If he had not hesitated because of his wife's words, such an outstanding young man in front of him would have been his son-in-law.
He sighed unnoticeably in his heart, he missed it after all!
Never mind, fate is something that cannot be forced. He cheered up and reminded her: "Although you did well in the county exam, it is only in this small place of Nanyun County. Remember not to be arrogant. You must know that there are always people better than you and there are always things better than you!"
Chen Yunyou said respectfully: "Master, what you said is very true. I will definitely keep it in mind, be neither arrogant nor impatient, and forge ahead."
Mr. Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "The provincial examination will be held in more than a month. I wonder what your plans are for the future? Are you ready to go back to the academy to review?"
Chen Yunyou thought for a moment and replied, "To be honest, I plan to study at home. First, the environment at home is relatively quiet, which allows me to focus on my studies better and avoid many distractions. Second, my body is a little weak, and I have been taking medicine to recuperate recently. It will be more convenient for me to study at home!"
After hearing this, Mr. Yuan nodded in agreement.
This student is knowledgeable, has a strong memory and strong self-discipline. He is not worried about his academic performance, but is worried about his health.
He paused and warned: "You still have a long way to go in the future. Your health is the most important thing. You must know that without a strong body, everything else is just a mirage. In the end, everything will be in vain!"
"The student will remember your teachings!" Chen Yunyou responded very solemnly.
Mr. Yuan was very satisfied. He stood up and went to the table beside him, took out a few test questions and handed them to Chen Yunyou. "This set of test questions is written by me personally. You can take it back and study it carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."
After Chen Yunyou expressed his gratitude, he took it respectfully with both hands.
After finishing his study, Chen Yunyou took out a set of tooth powder from the basket and handed it to Mr. Yuan with both hands:
"This is the new tooth powder from Renyitang. I heard that using it with this toothbrush can not only clean the food residues between the teeth, but also prevent dental diseases and freshen your breath if you use it regularly!"
Mr. Yuan took the tooth powder with great surprise. He had suffered from toothache to some extent throughout his life.
After listening to the student's introduction, he opened the wooden box out of curiosity, and a fresh air blew in his face, making him feel refreshed.
He leaned in closer and sniffed the tooth powder in the wooden box, and couldn't help asking, "Are there any medicinal herbs in here?"
Chen Yunyou nodded, "That's right. This tooth powder contains a variety of Chinese medicinal materials that are good for teeth. Sir, you may want to give it a try. Just sprinkle the tooth powder on the brush head, and then..."
After a detailed introduction, Mr. Yuan was even more excited.
This time, Chen Yunyou's gift touched the gentleman's heart. When he introduced it, the corners of his mouth were raised!
After being informed of the specific usage, Chen Yunyou bid farewell to Mr. Yuan.
He left the teacher's residence, and then gave a copy to two teachers who had taught him and to Dean Lu.
These gentlemen in Yunshan Academy are basically people who pretend to be cultured. If you give them gold and silver, they may not say it on their faces, but in their hearts they may despise your greed for money and not want to be associated with you!
But they really liked the tooth powder that Chen Yunyou gave them. Their joy could be seen from the way they kept patting Chen Yunyou's shoulders and the smiles on their wrinkled faces.
Even the usually stern Dean Lu became amiable.
Coming out of Lu Shanzhang's residence, Chen Yun bumped into Qian Feng head-on.
Qian Fengxiang had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. He pulled his friend to a secluded place where no one was around, and then asked in surprise, "Did I see it right? You came out of Lu Shanzhang's residence?"
Chen Yunyou nodded and looked at Qian Feng helplessly.
Qian Feng looked the man up and down again, staring at him and asking, "Tell me quickly, what kind of magic potion did you give the headmaster? Not only did he personally send you out, but he was so friendly to you!"
If we were to say who Qian Feng feared the most in Yunshan Academy, it would be Dean Lu. They privately nicknamed the Dean Lu the "Black-faced King of Hell." He had been in Yunshan Academy for nearly a year, and he had never been so kind to anyone as the Dean Lu!
Chen Yun stretched out his right hand and knocked at the classmate who was not doing his job properly. "What kind of magic potion is this? How can you talk like that? Be careful that the dean hears you. He will ask you to recite the Analects ten times!"
Qian Feng couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. He looked back at Director Lu's residence and was relieved when he saw that no one came out!
He rubbed his head which was hurt by Chen Yunyou's blow just now, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "You just know how to scare me all day long!"
Chen Yunyou smiled and took out a set of tooth powder from the basket and handed it over, "Here, this is for you!"
Qian Feng's expression changed, and he immediately put aside his dissatisfaction and asked happily, "What is this?"
Chen Yunyou repeated the words that he had already memorized.
Qian Feng's eyes widened when he heard this, "This thing is so useful, do I have more?" After saying that, he flipped over the basket in Chen Yun's right hand in a familiar manner.
Chen Yunyou didn't care about him and let him take it.
In a moment, he happily fished out the last set of tooth powder from the bottom of the basket.
"This is for Song Zhi. It's just right that you can bring it to him for me!"
Qian Feng couldn't help but curl his lips, "When did you and Song Zhi become so close?" He looked very jealous!
Chen Yunyou was too lazy to pay attention to this man and just walked away.
Qian Feng hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, what's wrong with you? You left before I even finished speaking!"
Chen Yunyou was pulled by him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hey, I want to ask you, will you come to the academy next? When will you go to the city to take the provincial examination?"
Chen Yunyou shook his head and said, "I won't be coming to the academy for the time being. I'm studying at home."
As for the last question, he thought about his father-in-law's family affairs. He estimated that Xile would have to go back to take a look. He thought about it and said, "I guess we can leave at the beginning of next month. Anyway, we can reach the capital in four or five days. It's still in time!"
"You can't arrange it this way. The provincial examination is coming up soon. Many inns in the city are probably overcrowded. If you wait until the exam is close, where will you find a place to stay?"
Qian Feng paused and suggested with a smile: "How about this, I will go back in the second half of the month and rent a yard, and then you can live with me!"
"Aren't you going home to live?" Chen Yunyou asked puzzledly.
"No, no, my home is too noisy and not quiet. Living with you and asking for advice is a great bargain!"
Chen Yun nodded right, which was considered as his agreement. This way he could go to the provincial capital to take the exam with ease!
Seeing that he agreed, Qian Feng sent him away contentedly!
