Before dawn, the students of Yanying Academy were waiting outside the gate. This year is the annual exam and they cannot enter the school casually.

The students were whispering outside in groups of three or five, all discussing today's test questions.

Liu Kang walked to Fan Ning and whispered: "Those guys are the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest!"

Fan Ning followed Liu Kang's eyes and saw seven middle-aged students standing on the far right. Middle-aged students were equivalent to third- and fourth-grade students. Judging from their appearance, they should be third-grade students.

These seven sects formed a small group, each dressed gorgeously and had an extraordinary temperament. Everyone looked quite arrogant and had a slightly better attitude towards other sects.

But I don't even care about sacrificing my life.

Among the seven people was a student wearing a tall hat. He was tall and thin, half a head taller than Fanning. He looked very handsome and had a bright look.

I saw him wearing a delicately textured green satin scholar's uniform, with a leather belt on his waist and a good fur turned out between his neck and neck. He had a very good temperament and gentle elegance, which made him look elegant and beautiful, and was extremely eye-catching among the seven people.

"Who is the one wearing a high hat?" Fanningnu asked.

Liu Kang said angrily: "Did you forget? We have seen him in the strange stone hall."

Fanning remembered it and seemed that she had seen their grandparents and grandchildren at the entrance of the strange stone museum, but Fanning didn't take it seriously and forgot about it.

"What's his name?"

Liu Kang shook his head, "It seems you really don't care. His name is Xu Ji. His home is in Wuxian County. He is eleven years old this year. Three years ago, he was admitted to Yanying Academy with the first place. Since the second year, he has never passed the second place."

"What is he good at so awesome?" Fanning asked curiously with a smile.

"He is very good at all aspects. I heard that he could write poetry at the age of four and prose at the age of six. His calligraphy is particularly good. His grandfather was the chief professor of Pingjiang Prefecture School and his father was a Jinshi. Now he is an official in the court, and he can be said to have a family background."

Fanning nodded secretly, this is the real child prodigy.

At this time, the bell of Yanying School rang, and the students entered the school one after another, and the year-end exam finally kicked off.

One hundred and four students sat in three examination rooms and started the exam at the same time. The seats were basically unchanged, and Zhu Pei was next to Fanning.

Master Liu brought more than a dozen professors and teaching assistants as invigilators.

At this time, two assistants carried a large wooden board into the classroom, lifted the cloth on it, and the test questions finally appeared.

There was a burst of exclamation in the class.

Almost all the sacrifices were stunned.

It’s okay to sacrifice your life in the test questions, but it’s very serious to sacrifice your life to the lower.

A poem is written with the title "Winter Solstice".

Make a door couplet.

The first three chapters of "The Analects of Confucius" and the first three chapters of "Mencius".

Any five chapters of the Book of Songs

The first five chapters of "Tao Te Ching"

Silent "Zhuangzi."

Autumn Water

You are required to hand over the papers at the hour of You, that is, the exam will end at 5 pm.

The topics are large and the content is confusing. More importantly, many of them have never been learned by sacrificing their lives. For example, the Book of Songs is not only the second year of enrollment.

There are also extracurricular reading materials such as "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi", which still have too high requirements for lower grade students.

These topics were very relaxed for Fanning, but his weakness was calligraphy. Fanning couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhu Pei.

Zhu Pei looked at the exam questions in a daze, and obviously she had encountered difficulties.

One morning, Fanning finished writing other exam contents besides writing poetry.

At this time, the bell for lunch break rang. They had no lunch break today, and even meals had to be held in the examination room. After a moment, footsteps sounded outside and several assistants came to deliver the meal.

Professor Yan, who was invigilating the exam, clapped his hands, "Everyone stop writing first, and then continue after dinner!"

Everyone put the test papers and pens into the drawer, and each of them went up to bring a plate of food.

Fanning brought two servings and pushed one to Zhu Pei, "Eat it! The food is good today."

In Fanning's opinion, the food today is pretty good, braised lion head, a plate of braised eggplant, a bowl of vegetable soup, and two meat buns.

Zhu Pei shook his head, "I don't want to eat, you can take it!

She put the braised lion's head into Fanning's plate.

Fanning looked at her and felt that she was in a very depressed mood.

"Is there any question I can't do?"

After a while, her eyes turned a little red and she pouted, "I have never read the Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi."

"This...a small problem!"

Fan Ning quickly looked around and saw several invigilators busy sharing meals. He quickly stuffed two of his papers to Zhu Pei.

Zhu Pei was shocked. Isn’t this cheating?

Fanning lowered his voice and said, "When the meal time, read it and write it down a few times."

Zhu Pei was so nervous that she was trembling all over. Although she was brave, she had never done cheating in the exam. However, she still plucked up the courage to read the "Tao Te Ching" and "Zhuangzi" written by Fan Ning.

Fanning picked up chopsticks and chewed the lion's head. It cooked very well. This was his favorite dish. Usually there was only one serving per canteen, but today he suddenly had two, which made him feast.

After he finished his meal, he looked at Zhu Pei again, but saw her eating snacks with a smile.

"Remember all?"

Zhu Pei returned the test paper to him and said proudly: "If you can't get the first place this time, don't blame me! But you asked for it."

"I remembered it!"

Fan Ning smiled, "It seems like I was wrong in the same place in the Autumn Water Chapter."

"you!"

Zhu Pei was furious and kicked him hard, "You bastard..."

Seeing her angry face flushed, Fanning smiled and said, "I'm just teasing you. I'm confident this time. You can't compare to me in poetry and couplets."

Zhu Pei snorted with his nose, "Then let's go and see!"

After the exam, the students gathered in the playground and no one wanted to leave.

"Fanning, I'm finished!"

As soon as Fan Ning walked to the playground, Liu Kang stepped forward and said with a sad face: "The Book of Songs, Tao Te Ching and Zhuangzi have not been silent. I will definitely be persuaded to retreat home!"

The annual exam scores were too poor, and according to convention, they were persuaded to return home. Fanning looked at the others, and everyone had a pale face and seemed to have not done well in the exam.

Fan Ning comforted him and said, "If everyone does not do well in the exam, then the Dharma will not be blamed. Besides, the Book of Songs will not be studied next year. This is not our responsibility. I think it should be used to sacrifice our lives through the exam. It doesn't matter if we can't do it."

Liu Kang was right when he thought about it. He was in a little better mood. He gloated and said, "Actually, I am pretty good. At least I have written the poems and couplets. Fan Jiang only silly said "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius". He did not do anything else. If he wanted to be fired, he would be fired first."

"How did you do in the exam?" Liu Kang asked.

"It's okay, I can do it all, as for whether it's right or not, I don't know."

As soon as Fan Ning finished speaking, Liu Kang whispered: "They are here!"

Fan Ning turned around and saw seven students walking out in a large group. They were the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, and the person in the middle was Xu Ji. They looked like they did well in the exam.

"Little guys, stop crying, hurry up and go home and have a breastfeed!"

Someone shouted strangely, and everyone laughed.

Everyone looked at them. Liu Kang was even more furious and pointed at Fanning and said, "What are you proud of? We Fanning did not do worse than you!"

Fan Ning quickly stopped him, "Liu Kang, stop talking!"

The seventh one-year-old student looked at each other, and his face showed a sarcasm. One of them said disdainfully: "The Ant King is also an ant. Can it be compared with an elephant?"

Fan Ning smiled faintly but did not answer their words. Seeing that Fan Ning didn't say anything, the other person walked up to him and deliberately shook him with his shoulders, "Are you not a little ant?"

Fanning looked at him and said, "I am indeed a little ant, very small and not worth mentioning, but you are not considered elephants, at most they are small tadpoles, swimming around the well."

"asshole!"

A group of sacrificial students suddenly understood the thorn in Fanning's words, and suddenly became furious and wanted to rush forward.
