Suddenly, Master Qu looked at Yan Shuqin with a sharp gaze and said, "Yan Shuqin, can you tell me what the passage from the Analects that I just explained means?"

Yan Shuqin was suddenly called by the teacher, and she panicked and stammered, unable to answer. Seeing this, Yan Canglan gently kicked Yan Shuqin's foot, suggesting that she should not be nervous.

Yan Shuqin stared at Yan Canglan with her eyes wide open, as if seeking his help. Yan Canglan smiled slightly and whispered in her ear: "What the teacher just explained is the meaning of 'Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?'"

Yan Shuqin suddenly understood. She stood up, looked at Master Qu, and answered crisply: "Sir, this passage of the Analects means that we must constantly review knowledge in order to gain something. It is a happy thing to have friends coming from afar."

After hearing Yan Shuqin's answer, Master Qu smiled with satisfaction. He nodded and motioned Yan Shuqin to sit down.

After class, Yan Canglan took Yan Shuqin to the garden for a walk. As they walked along the green path, Yan Shuqin apologized to Yan Canglan, "Brother, thank you for helping me out just now. Actually, I know I shouldn't be distracted during class, but I just couldn't control myself."

Yan Canglan smiled and patted Yan Shuqin on the shoulder: "Sister, it's okay. We all have some small flaws. The key is to learn to correct them. In the future, your brother will help you improve together."

After hearing Yan Canglan's words, Yan Shuqin felt warm in her heart.

Since her mother passed away, her brother has always been her support. She secretly made up her mind to study hard and achieve success in order to live up to her brother's expectations.

Day after day, Yan Canglan and Yan Shuqin studied hard in the clan school. Under the guidance of Master Qu, they gradually comprehended the wisdom in the Analects and understood the principles of dealing with people.

During this period, Yan Canglan gradually discovered Yan Shuqin's intelligence. Although she was sometimes distracted, once she focused, she could quickly master the knowledge. Yan Canglan was secretly happy and felt that he had the responsibility to guide his sister to the right path.

In the clan school classroom, Yan Canglan looked around with a proud look on his face and asked, "What's the highest score you got in this exam?"

Those classmates suddenly became interested.

Yan Canglan's tone was provocative, and his eyes shot at every student present like sharp arrows. The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense, and the students looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on a student named Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing seemed a little embarrassed. He stood up from his seat and replied a little stiffly: "Brother Yan, I got the highest score in this exam by luck, which is 95 points."

Yan Canglan smiled slightly, as if he had expected such an answer: "Ninety-five points, not bad. So, do you think this score is high for the standards of the clan school?"

As soon as this was said, the discussion in the classroom suddenly became louder. Some classmates thought that 95 points was already quite good, while others thought there was still room for improvement. Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "Brother Yan, in my opinion, although this score is not low, it is still far from the full score. We still need to work hard."

Yan Canglan nodded in agreement: "Zhao Qing is right. The standard of clan studies is extremely high. Ninety-five points can only be considered a passing score. So, do you have the confidence to get a better score in the next exam?"

At this time, a classmate named Li Mu stood up. He was straightforward and had a loud voice: "Brother Yan, of course we are confident. But how many points did you get in this exam? Can you tell us?"

Yan Canglan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence: "I got full marks in this exam."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamations in the classroom. Li Mu's eyes widened, a little bit unbelieving: "Brother Yan, you really got full marks? How is this possible?"

Yan Canglan gently patted Li Mu's shoulder and explained: "Li Mu, nothing is impossible. I put in a lot of effort during my preparation for the exam. Can you do the same?"

Zhao Qing thought for a while and said, "Brother Yan, we understand what you mean. In order to achieve good results, in addition to hard work, you also need to find a suitable learning method. Can you share your learning experience so that we can learn from it?"

Yan Canglan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will simply share my experience. First, after getting up every morning, I will recite a classic article to cultivate my literary literacy. Secondly, I will listen carefully in class and review in time after class to ensure that the knowledge I have learned is firmly grasped. Finally, I will also use my spare time to read a lot of books to broaden my knowledge."

After listening to Yan Canglan's sharing, the classmates in the classroom were deeply moved. They realized that the gap between them and Yan Canglan was not only in grades, but also in the degree of effort and learning methods.

At this time, a classmate named Wang Lei suddenly said: "Brother Yan, I think you have another advantage, that is, you are good at communicating with others. You can always come up with some unique insights in class, which benefit us a lot. We also want to learn from this."

Yan Canglan smiled and said, "Wang Lei, you are right. Communicating with others is also a form of learning. I speak in class to test my learning results and to stimulate everyone's thinking. In fact, everyone has their own strengths. As long as we learn from each other and promote each other, we will be able to achieve better results."

The atmosphere in the classroom gradually became lively. Classmates gathered around Yan Canglan and asked him various questions. Yan Canglan also generously shared his experience and insights to help them solve their confusion in learning.

When the bell rang, Master Qu slowly walked into the noisy classroom. Seeing Yan Canglan talking to his classmates, he became angry and said, "Yan Canglan, what are you doing? Since you have so much to say, why don't you read Shishuo Xinyu?"

"Master, no problem, I can read it." Yan Canglan looked confident.

Master Qu looked at Yan Canglan in astonishment: "You, you can read?"

Yan Canglan suddenly stood up and said, "Master, I can not only read, I can also recite it. A New Account of Tales of the World is a piece of cake for me."

A hint of approval flashed across Master Qu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He shook his head slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Yan Canglan's confidence: "Young man, you are quite arrogant. In that case, please recite a passage from Shishuo Xinyu in this clan school classroom."

Yan Canglan smiled slightly, walked to the center of the classroom, and looked around. He saw neatly arranged desks and chairs in the classroom, portraits of sages hung on the walls, and a solemn atmosphere filled the air.
