Chapter 140 Studying in Huaishan (Part )
For the first time, Liu Sheng felt a little frustrated.

She was clearly said to be talented during the initial test this morning, but now he looked troubled as soon as he saw her essay.

After returning to his seat, he whispered to Lu Shen: "Brother Lu, the teacher seems to be quite satisfied with your article. Can I borrow it to have a look?"

Lu Shen nodded and said, "Of course it's okay."

As he spoke, he took out the article he had just written.

"Junior sister, can you please let me see what you wrote? Maybe I can guess what Teacher Nangong is thinking."

"Thank you, senior brother. Please give me some advice." That was of course a good idea. Liu Sheng quickly handed it to Lu Shen.

"I can't say I have any advice, but I have been studying policy writing for more than four years and have some experience." Lu Shen scratched his head embarrassedly.

Nangong Wan was sitting on the podium, her eyes swept over their "brotherly and sisterly respectful" expressions, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

They are the two most talented in writing policy papers among the people she recruited this year.

But Liu Sheng is still a rough diamond. He has ideas, but he doesn’t understand many of the unspoken rules.

Lu Shen was already an old hand at policy theory, but he was too trapped in a framework and lacked flexibility.

It just so happens that the two of them complement each other.

Sure enough, after reading Liu Sheng's article, Lu Shen was astounded and amazed at her unconventional perspective.

"Junior Sister Liu, your ideas are actually very good. Many of them... I can't think of them. For example, the optimization points you mentioned for 'accelerating the civilian application of spiritual tools' will really benefit the people if they can be realized."

"But in my opinion, the biggest shortcoming of your article is that it does not follow the standards..."

"Standards?" Liu Sheng was quite puzzled.

"I think your writing style is more like a journal article. Although policy papers are similar, there are still some differences."

"Ahem, think about who the audience of the policy discussion is?" Seeing that Liu Sheng still didn't understand, Lu Shen coughed lightly to remind him.

"Examiner?"

Liu Sheng reacted immediately.

"No! It's His Majesty."

"Yes, the examiner only took a look for His Majesty. Note, only for His Majesty." Lu Shen said, "The final decision is still made by His Majesty, so...you should write your essay to His Majesty."

"So?" Liu Sheng vaguely understood, "I want to figure out the emperor's intention, and then boast about my achievements first?"

"Well... there's no need to say it. Well, well..." Lu Shen hesitated for words, his face turning dark and red.

"Very explicit." Zhong Youzhi had also finished writing. He eavesdropped for a while before interrupting.

When Lu Shen heard this, he became nervous.

"What are you afraid of? We are in a strange den." Zhong Youzhi reminded.

"Not only that, you have to mention the Supreme God at the beginning." He said one more sentence, then stood up and walked up to the podium, waiting for Nangong Wan's review.

"Ah?" Liu Sheng was stunned. She remembered that the policy essay samples she had in her hand were not like this!

"This has only started recently..." Lu Shen whispered, "The professors in our academy have also reminded us of this, and Teacher Nangong has repeatedly emphasized it. Junior sister, you haven't learned it yet, so it's normal that you don't know."

Only then did Liu Sheng deeply understand what it meant that there was a world of difference between different subjects, and he put away his contempt.

Originally, she thought she had the "world" in her hands and many things would be easy for her. But now it seems that some things cannot be solved by pure knowledge, and many "human" factors must be taken into consideration.

No wonder Wen Weilan insisted that she come to study.

After everyone finished the three policy essay questions and gave them to Nangong Wan to review one by one, the unified explanation officially began.

Liu Sheng took out his notebook and started taking notes carefully.

"To be honest, policy essays are not only about showing talent and offering suggestions, but also about helping His Majesty relieve his worries." Nangong Wan's words were indeed true.

This really made Liu Sheng pause.

"I have already told you that to write policy papers, you must not only learn more about ancient and modern knowledge and apply it to other areas, but also read more newspapers and periodicals to understand what the court is concerned about, what the current internal and external troubles are, and most importantly... the emperor's will."

You can't say this outside.

Liu Sheng didn't expect that Senior Sister Nangong, who had long since withdrawn from the world according to Wen Weilan, would say such a thing.

This strong sense of separation made her increasingly unable to see through the woman who was speaking at the podium.

……

The policy discussion class finally ended, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Nangong Wan left.

"Let's go! Let's go to the store!" Qu Chunyan was almost collapsed from exhaustion, but when she heard this, she immediately became energetic and stood up with a somersault.

"Let's go together!" Zhong Youzhi also looked at his policy paper being criticized, and his bright and brilliant appearance dimmed a little.

"Buy some delicious food to relieve stress." Even the calm Lin Shuying sighed.

"Is the policy essay class so stressful?" Liu Sheng was puzzled.

"Don't you feel the pressure as a person who is being kept after class?" Qu Chunyan was shocked that Liu Sheng was so careless.

Liu Sheng spread his hands and said, "I just started writing seriously today."

"Yeah, yeah, I almost forgot about it."

"Alas, my junior sister is indeed a genius. We are nothing like crayfish in shallow water, living in fear from day to day." Lu Shen, as the only one among the brothers and sisters who had seen Liu Sheng's articles, could not help but sigh.

"Junior Brother Lu doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so sentimental." Lin Shuying asked curiously. She was the first one to enroll, so she was the oldest, and all of them were junior brothers and sisters.

"These words sound particularly sincere coming from Senior Brother Lu. If someone else said them, they would definitely seem glib." Qu Chunyan took the opportunity to step on someone again, and then quickly slipped away from the front door of the classroom.

Zhong Youzhi, who was called "someone", also hurriedly caught up.

However, Qu Chunyan let out a scream, and before the lingering sound had ended, Zhong Youzhi also let out an equally miserable cry.

Liu Sheng didn't understand what was going on, so he quickly followed Lu Shen and Lin Shuying to the front door.

After exiting the front door, there is an empty corridor with dim darkness at both ends, and it is also pitch black as night outside the corridor.

Qu Chunyan and Zhong Youzhi were both wet from head to toe, with a large puddle of water on the ground and two basins overturned beside them.

The two men looked at each other, then roared at the darkness at the end of the corridor, and then chased in different directions, one on the left and one on the right.

Liu Sheng was just about to ask what they were chasing.

The answer was revealed immediately. From the darkness at both ends of the corridor came the sound of children giggling, which sounded evil and deserved a beating.

"Who told them to knock over other people's tables and chairs? And they didn't restore them. It's normal for the little classmate to be angry." Lin Shuying said coldly.

"So...you don't have to worry about these little punishments, right?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Don't be afraid, these little ghosts won't hurt anyone." Lu Shen shook his head and showed an honest smile, "Sometimes they are quite cute. Last time, they put a fake spider in my book. I don't know how they knew I like spiders and other little gadgets."

Liu Sheng remembered the sentence in the analysis results.

[Please note that although Red Star Primary School has been purified, the people who did the purification were a little careless, so there will still be some remnants occasionally. Don't panic when you encounter them. They won't kill you, they're just a little naughty.]

It seems that these are the little naughty ones...
