My young master was detained outside by a familiar classmate, talking for a bit, but he is coming now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhang had also extricated himself by then, his face still red as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter?” Chu Sheng looked at his cousin, somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhang pursed his dry lips, “I was surrounded by many classmates asking questions, and I didn’t know how to answer, so I got a bit anxious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Chu Sheng’s flexible mind, Chu Zhang’s nature was more straightforward, and he was not good with words, but he was diligent in his actions, even in his studies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng burst out laughing, “Then you could have just said you didn’t know; no need to be so nervous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m afraid of offending people.” Chu Zhang scratched his head, somewhat troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me teach you a trick,” Chu Sheng, knowing his cousin was sincere yet tongue-tied but wanted to change this predicament earnestly, said. Encouraging him not to dwell on his slow speech was a bit difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Chu Zhang eagerly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Sheng said with a smile, “When someone asks you a question and you don’t know how to answer, shift the topic to studying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For instance, if someone asks you why you ate noodles in the morning or if there was a special trick to it, you can say that while eating noodles in the morning, you thought of a passage you had forgotten, and you had to look it up in a book, and then remembered it, and so on. Naturally, the conversation would shift to the books, and surely you won’t run out of topics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Chu Zhang felt as if he had discovered a new world, but he still earnestly asked, “Is that all right? Wouldn’t it make people angry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are all scholars; if we’re not discussing the books we read, what’s the use of all that idle chatter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At most, people might think you’re a bookworm,” Chu Sheng touched his nose, kindly reminding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhang laughed, satisfied, “It’s fine. I actually wanted to talk about a few books with them. Big brother, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you’re happy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Chu Zhang was easy to talk to, it wasn’t long before he was called over by the students to talk again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his big brother’s recent advice, when Chu Zhang didn’t know how to answer, he finally knew how to handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A frail scholar asked, “Chu Zhang, I heard you’ve been mostly staying at the inn lately and haven’t come out to join the poetry sessions? Do you have any secret reviewing techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re such good friends, you can’t keep it to yourself. If there really is a good method, you’ve got to share it with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, Chu Zhang, has Lord Chu mentioned how scholars should take the exam?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhang moved his lips, instinctively wanting to follow their lead but was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly thinking of what his big brother had said, he stuttered, “Lately, while staying in the inn, I read the annotations on the Four Books and Five Classics because there are many parts I can’t remember, so I could only memorize them multiple times.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like in ‘Mencius,’ the ideal of benevolent governance ultimately points to ‘The Way of the King,’ which is the highest realm of Mencius’s political ideals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mencius articulates brilliantly in his writings: ‘If the farming season is not neglected, grains are too numerous to consume; if the fish and turtles are not fished regularly, they are too numerous to consume.'”\u003C\u002Fp>",725,"2026-06-05T23:54:27.085Z",1,"novelbin.me","38fe5e737600064b426b730a0ddd8873b82a19df3f05c8b34bc68c7778d2f09e","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1307","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1305",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
