"You!" Master Chen was so angry that he had nothing to say, but if he wanted to find out, Jiang Runze was right.

Unable to find any fault with Jiang Runze, Master Chen had no choice but to turn his head and scold others with a stern face: "What are you laughing at? You are just as good as him. I want to see what you can answer."

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people who had been laughing just now fell silent, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

I thought to myself: It’s over. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have laughed. Now look what I am doing. When the teacher sees my answer, he won’t punish me, right?

No matter what they thought, Master Chen would not stop to check.

The second answer sheet Chen Ming looked at was Liang Jue's. Liang Jue was a little better than Jiang Runze, really just a little better. He answered a little bit, and the general meaning was not to use raw water.

Perhaps because Jiang Runze was at the bottom of the list, Liang Jue was a bit better than Jiang Runze. Chen Ming's expression brightened slightly, "It's still somewhat close."

Hearing these words, Liang Jue's heart, which had been in his throat, finally relaxed at this moment, and he took a long breath while Chen Ming was not paying attention.

After reading Liang Jue's answer, Chen Ming went to read Zhao Shiming's answer. Zhao Shiming was a little better than Liang Jue. He answered two points, and both points were in line with the meaning of the question.

The general meaning is that you should stockpile food before a flood and not eat fish in the water after a flood.

Ignoring Hua Jian, with Jiang Runze and Liang Jue as a comparison, Chen Ming rarely smiled at Zhao Shiming and gave him a small compliment: "Not bad, keep it up."

After Chen Ming finished praising, he went to look at the last answer sheet. This answer sheet belonged to Qian Dai. He was just as good as Jiang Runze. Although he answered the question, his answer was that if there was no food, one could eat meat paste.

Sure enough, people will laugh when they are extremely speechless. When Chen Ming saw Qian Dai's answer, he couldn't help but chuckle twice.

Everyone was startled, for no other reason than that although Chen Ming smiled, they could tell it was a sneer. They couldn't help but shudder and silently mourned for Qian Dai in their hearts.

Everyone: Brother Qian, you’re on your own!

Qian Dai is not a fool. He can naturally feel what others can feel, but he doesn't know how to save himself.

He could only look at Chen Ming with eager eyes, and said to him with a guilty conscience: "Master, hey, no matter how this disciple answers, you must not get angry about it and hurt your body!"

Chen Ming couldn't stand Qian Dai's smooth talk and glared at him fiercely.

He said coldly, "How dare you say that? If you had answered better, would this teacher be angry?"

Qian Dai was also very brave. Even in such a situation, he still dared to defend himself. He said weakly: "Master, I have tried my best. It's just that my ability is limited. Don't blame me."

These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Chen Ming immediately became furious after hearing it, and felt that if he continued to teach Qian Dai, he would not live long.

Chen Ming closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and spoke only after he calmed down: "Since I know that my abilities are insufficient, I should study harder to make up for them.

The imperial examinations are inseparable from current affairs and policy essays. Your attitude of being ignorant of the sufferings of the world and not wanting to eat meat porridge will inevitably cause you to suffer in future examinations."

Since I want to teach students, I can't just teach one. "The same goes for you guys. Although I'm mainly talking about Qian Dai, you guys also have more or less similar problems.

As your teacher, I suggest that you travel more, experience the local customs and habits, and get to know the people. This will broaden your horizons and prevent you from being confused when dealing with current affairs and policy proposals.

I know that I have been a little strict with you recently, but you will be gone in less than a year, so I have no choice but to be strict with you.

If you still look like you do today when you get to the examination room, then I suggest you not to take part in the imperial examination to avoid embarrassment.

Well, that’s all I have to say. It’s up to you whether you want to listen or not. I will not harm you in the end.”

Chen Ming's words were sincere and heartfelt. At that time, all the students respected their teachers. Although some people in Class A were smooth-talking, they still respected Chen Ming.

They were ashamed of what Chen Ming said. They examined their own shortcomings in their hearts, then adjusted their mindsets and looked more determined to study.

Chen Ming carefully looked at everyone's reactions, and finally nodded with satisfaction while touching his specially grown beard.

I felt proud in my heart: It really works. You little brats, you are still too young to fight with me. I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice.

I just hit them with a stick, now it’s time to give them a sweet reward, Chen Ming cleared his throat.

He encouraged them: "Actually, you all have your merits. Jinyu gave the best answer this time, Chengming was second, and Liangjue was third.

You all deserve praise. Keep up the hard work. You all still have room for improvement. Runze and Qiandai should not be discouraged. You have a lot of room for improvement."

Jinyu is Hua Jian's pen name, and Chengming is Zhao Shiming's pen name, both of which were given by Master Chen.

Liang Jue, Jiang Runze and Qian Dai were all under twenty years old and they did not have their own names.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces showed a smile after being praised.

Seeing that they had almost adjusted their mindsets, Chen Ming cleared his throat: "Alright, now I'll explain how to answer this question. The core of this question is floods..."

The older you get, the wiser you become. Chen Ming is indeed the most knowledgeable teacher in Taoyuan Town. His answers are well-organized and every word makes sense.

He said so much that his mouth was dry. He picked up the tea placed beside him and took a sip, feeling that the dryness in his mouth was relieved.

Then he said softly to everyone: "Okay, have you finished taking notes?"

Everyone responded in unison: "It's done."

Chen Ming nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, it's almost time, you can leave now."

After saying that, Chen Ming picked up his books and turned to leave.

After Chen Ming left, Hua Jian and the others could rest. Zhao Shiming came to Hua Jian's desk.

He asked, "Jinyu, may I borrow your answer sheet for a look?

Don't worry, I will take good care of it. It will be in the same condition when I return it as it was when you lent it to me."

Seeing how reserved he was, Hua Jian couldn't help but smile, as gorgeous as a summer flower.

Zhao Shiming was so stunned by the smile as brilliant as a summer flower that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Hua Jian was not a stingy person, so he generously lent it to him: "Of course."

But he didn't hear a reply. Hua Jian looked at Zhao Shiming like this, confused, and asked: "Brother Zhao, what's wrong with you? Brother Zhao."

Zhao Shiming was brought back to reality by Hua Jian's voice. Only then did he realize that he had been staring at Hua Jian in a daze. He couldn't help feeling shy and a little bit unbelievable.

Zhao Shiming asked himself in his heart: What happened to me just now? Why would I be stunned by Jin Yu's smile? This is too unreasonable.

Although Jinyu is Shuang'er, he is also my classmate. He is better than me in knowledge, literary talent and appearance. How could I have such dirty thoughts about him? It is really wrong.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone!
