After receiving the mission, Chen Youniao could no longer study behind closed doors at home. He needed to go out to class so that he could have a chance to get along with Hu Ning.

This period of hard study has yielded a lot. His memory has always been good. After becoming a Taoist priest, his ears and eyes have become even sharper, and his efficiency in learning has improved to a higher level. In practicing Taoism, not only practicing techniques, but also condensing the spirit is the core.

.

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

If you come back to class at this time and listen more to Master Meng's teachings, you will be more confident about next year's examination.

The next day, I went to the thatched cottage early, but what I didn't expect was that Hu Ning didn't come.

The atmosphere in the school has not changed much. The two brothers Chen Shanben still refused to pay attention to Chen Youniao, and they were all holding back their anger.

This anger is getting more and more suppressed.

Now that Chen Youniao not only has the reputation of being a scholar, he is also a real Taoist priest. The Chen family's attitude towards him has made a 180-degree turn. If it weren't for the clan leader's explicit order, no one in the clan is allowed to disturb him.

, I don’t know how many people will come to Chen Youniao’s door, almost breaking through the threshold.

In contrast, the aura of the rare book brothers' reading seeds has been greatly weakened. They are inevitably unbalanced and feel that what belongs to them has been robbed by others.

"Isn't he just a scholar? He didn't pass the examination with real qualifications. What's so great about it..."

The two brothers were sour, not to mention angry, and decided to work harder to study. Next year, they would be admitted to the Juren Examination and become the masters of the Juren Examination, thereby establishing their family status in one fell swoop.

Chen Youniao's reputation has soared recently, especially the outrageous prices for calligraphy, painting, and poetry that have been rumored outside, which has pushed him to the forefront, so that many students look at him differently, making all kinds of speculations and slanders.

As scholars, they know the situation in this circle very well, so they are puzzled by such a bizarre thing and don't know how it was done. Doesn't it mean that Chen Youniao has no background? Even if he gets the full support of the clan, he can't do it.

Such a scene.

In Haidai County, although the Chen family is a wealthy family, it is difficult to praise a son like this. After all, this kind of thing cannot withstand scrutiny, and if you are not careful, your reputation will be ruined. Who would spend such financial and material resources to do it?

Becoming famous is not easy.

Not to mention that they couldn't figure it out, as the person involved, Chen Youniao was also in a state of doubt.

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

As soon as he heard these questions, Meng Beiliu knew that he had really worked hard and sighed: "Outside, the price of your poems is far higher than that of me. With your poetic talent, you can get a lot of money into your account with just one stroke of writing. How can you still do it?"

It’s really rare to calm down and read.”

Chen Youniao chuckled and said: "Teacher, I feel guilty about this. I don't know where the wind came from, so now a group of people squat at the door every day. They even have to go through the garbage that is thrown out, trying to find a

Every word, it’s just crazy.”

Master Meng had a strange look on his face: "Your poems are indeed valuable. I have sold them all, uh, the ones you wrote to me in exchange for study time."

This matter was kept in his mind, making him always feel that he had taken advantage of the students, and he felt bad about it. He finally couldn't help but speak out, concealing only the situation about Hu Ning.

Chen Youniao said "Ah": "Teacher, is everything you said true?"

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

Meng Beiliu sighed.

Chen Youniao waved his hand: "Teacher, I have exchanged my study time for reading your collection of books. Those poems belong to you. They are your collection and can be disposed of on your own."

Meng Beiliu said vaguely: "This matter is a bit complicated. I can't tell you more, but for you, as long as you can face it calmly and not be burdened by fame, it will be a great thing. When a young man becomes famous, how much will his life bring?

?How many scholars dream of it?"

Chen Youniao said: "I understand, but I'm just suspicious and feel guilty, so until now, I have never sold a poem."

Meng Beiliu clapped his hands: "It is not easy to endure loneliness and not be driven by fame and fortune. But you are a Taoist now, you have achieved some success in cultivation, and your mental concentration is different from ordinary people. By the way, since you are a Taoist, you are still willing

To distract yourself and use it to study?"

Chen Youniao replied: "My ability to become a Taoist priest is actually due to luck. The Taoist court has said that my potential has been exhausted and it is difficult to have further opportunities. I am still young, so I have the opportunity to study and test for merit.

A new choice."

Meng Beiliu nodded: "That's true. The world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the dynasty is prosperous. It is really good to be an official in the dynasty. And if you have the matching talents and talents, you can get the best of both worlds. To be honest, I have taught you

There are many students, but few are as outstanding as you."

Chen Youniao blinked: "The new Husband Ning who came to class seems to be very powerful."

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

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

Meng Beiliu coughed dryly: "A son of a powerful person has always been like this and does not interact with others easily. Even I don't know exactly which family he is from. He was introduced by an old friend."

Chen Youniao knew that Master Meng was not lying, so Hu Ning's identity became even more unpredictable. No wonder the Taoist Governor's Office sent people to monitor him, but he did not dare to offend him.

, can determine life and death, and determine whether a person is rich or poor. What we have to do is to uphold our original intention, not be arrogant or impetuous, 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 proceed with caution."

Meng Beiliu smiled happily. Although he had many talents all over the world, he really cherished Chen Youniao's talent and did not want to see this talented young man lose his future for some reason.

Regarding Hu Hu Ning's behavior, Meng Beiliu actually didn't know why. He said that Hu Hu Ning truly appreciated Chen Youniao's poems, but there was no reason to go so far. The current situation could not be called "praising and killing".

It's an exaggeration, but it's by no means a true compliment. Anyway, it's all illogical and can only be described as "willful".

Hu Hu Ning does seem to be willful, and he also has the capital to be willful. It is said that people at the county level are very polite to him. Meng Beiliu doesn't know exactly how, so he can't say too much about Chen Youniao.
