After receiving the task, Chen Youniao could no longer stay at home and study behind closed doors. He had to go out to attend classes, so that he could have a chance to get along with Hu Zining.

This period of hard study has yielded a lot. His memory has always been good. After becoming a Taoist priest, he has sharp eyes and eyes, and his learning efficiency has improved to a higher level.Cultivating the Tao is not only the practice of spells, but the core of condensing the spirit.

Before he knew it, his foundation of scriptures had been solidified.

Come to class at this time and listen to Master Meng's teachings more, and you will have greater confidence in the exam next year.

The next day, I went to the thatched cottage early, but to my surprise, Hu Zining didn't come.

The atmosphere of the school did not change much, Chen Shanben and his brothers were still unwilling to talk to Chen Youniao, they were all suffocating in their hearts.

This anger is getting more and more suffocated.

Now that Chen Youniao not only has the reputation of being a scholar, but also is a true Taoist priest, the attitude of the whole Chen clan has turned 180 degrees to him. How many people climbed to Chen Youniao's door, almost broke the threshold.

In contrast, as one grows and the other fades away, the aura of the rare book brothers' reading seeds has been greatly weakened, and they inevitably feel unbalanced, feeling that what belongs to them has been robbed by others.

"Isn't he just a scholar? He didn't pass the exam with real materials, so what's so special..."

The two brothers were sour, let alone angry, and decided to redouble their efforts to study, and to be admitted to Juren next year. After becoming the master of Juren, they would establish their family status in one fell swoop.

Recently, Chen Youniao's reputation has risen sharply, especially the outrageous price of calligraphy, painting and poetry, which has been rumored outside, has pushed him to the forefront of the limelight, so that many students look at him differently, making various guesses, and slandering him.

As scholars, they know the situation in this circle very well, so they are puzzled by this unimaginable thing and don't know how it happened.Didn't it mean that Chen Youniao had no background?Even if he had the full support of the clan, such a scene would not be possible.

In Haidai County, although the Chen family is a big family, it is difficult to praise a child like this.After all, this kind of thing can't stand scrutiny, and if you don't pay attention, you will lose your reputation. Who would spend such financial and material resources to do it?

Becoming famous is not easy.

Don't say that they don't understand, Chen Youniao, who is the person involved, is also in a state of doubt.

After class, Chen Youniao went to see Master Meng for some advice on the problems he encountered while studying behind closed doors.

Hearing these questions, Meng Beiliu knew that he had really worked hard, and sighed: "The price of your poems outside is far higher than that of the old man. With your poetic talent, you will have a lot of money in the account when you write, and you can still buy it." It’s really rare to calm down and read.”

Chen Youniao said with a chuckle: "Teacher, I feel guilty about this matter. I don't know where the wind came from, so now a group of people are squatting at the door every day, and they even have to rummage through the trash. Literally, it's crazy."

Meng Fuzi showed a strange look: "Your poems are indeed valuable. I have sold them all. Uh, they are the ones you wrote to me in exchange for reading time."

This matter was held in his heart, which made him always feel that he had taken advantage of the students, so he couldn't help but speak out, and only concealed the situation about Hu Zining.

Chen Youniao said "ah": "Teacher, is what you said true?"

"Of course, there are birds. In fact, I should tell you in advance and ask for your consent. After all, those poems are all your works."

Meng Beiliu sighed.

Chen Youniao waved his hand: "Teacher, I have already used it to exchange my reading time. After reading your collection, those poems belong to you. They are your collection and can be disposed of independently."

Meng Beiliu said vaguely: "This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't tell you more, but for you, as long as you can face it calmly and not be burdened by fame, it is a great thing. If you are young and famous, how much life will you have?" ? How many scholars can’t wait for it.”

Chen Youniao said: "I understand, but I just have doubts and feel empty, so until now, I have never sold a poem."

Meng Beiliu clapped his hands: "It's not easy to endure loneliness and not be driven by fame and fortune. But now you are a Taoist priest, you have achieved a lot in cultivation, and your xinxing concentration is different from ordinary people. By the way, since you practice Taoism, you are still willing Distracted and used to read?"

Chen Youniao replied: "I was able to become a Taoist priest. In fact, there was an element of luck. The Taoist court has said that the potential has been exhausted, and it is difficult to have further opportunities. I am still young, and I have the opportunity to study and test my fame. A new option."

Meng Beiliu nodded: "That's right. Today's world is peaceful, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. It's a prosperous dynasty. It's really good to be an official in the court. And you have matching talents and talents. You can have the best of both worlds. To be honest, I taught There are not a few students here, but there are few who are as outstanding as you."

Chen Youniao blinked: "That Hu Zining who came to class recently seems to be very powerful."

Meng Beiliu's heart skipped a beat: "He was born in the capital and traveled here. He is not my real student. His teacher is someone else."

Chen Youniao deliberately raised the topic: "I always think he is weird and mysterious."

Meng Beiliu coughed dryly: "Children of the rich and powerful have always been like this. They don't get along with people easily. Even I don't know which family he is from. He was introduced by an old friend."

Chen Youniao knew that Master Meng was not lying, so the origin of Hu Zining's identity was even more unpredictable. No wonder the Taoist Governor's Mansion sent people to monitor him, but he didn't dare to offend him.

Meng Beiliu looked at him: "You bird, I have lived to this age, and I dare not claim to be well versed in world affairs, but I do have some experience. Some things happen for no reason. It may just be a sentence of a certain powerful person." , can determine life and death, and judge people from poverty to wealth. What we have to do is to uphold our original heart, neither arrogance nor impetuosity, and follow the trend."

His words are meaningful and thought-provoking.

Chen Youniao heard the implication, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Teacher, I will act cautiously."

Meng Beiliu smiled gratifiedly. Although he was full of peaches and plums, he really cherished Chen Youniao's talent. He didn't want to see this talented young man lose his future due to some reasons.

Regarding Hu Zining's behavior, in fact, Meng Beiliu didn't know why. He said that Hu Zining really appreciated Chen Youniao's poems, but it didn't make sense to do this. The current situation can't be called "to kill". It's exaggerated, but it's definitely not a real flattery. Anyway, all kinds of illogicality can only be described as "willful".

Hu Zining did seem to be willful, and he also has the capital of willfulness. It is said that people at the county level are very polite to him. Meng Beiliu is not clear about the specifics, so he can't say too much to Chen Youniao.

Some of these things need to be avoided and difficult to understand. He is just a pure scholar.
