Li Jin explained, “To integrate the algorithms learned previously.”

Wu Wei uttered an “Oh”, and as he turned to leave, he thought that in the Qiuwei examination, there would be at most three arithmetic problems, and they should accommodate the majority of people, not being too profound.

Moreover, Li Jin had been diligently studying the algorithms for a long time. Even if he hadn’t fully grasped them, it wouldn’t be a significant issue to take the Qiuwei exam.

But now, Li Jin had resumed his reading, and Wu Wei didn’t want to disturb him further, so he could only discuss policy issues with Pan Youfeng.

“Youfeng, your third paragraph needs to be particularly good. The rhetoric should be splendid. Write about the emperor’s concern for the people in a more subtle way, yet it should be evident that you are praising this.”

This is subtle flattery.

Upon hearing the words, Pan Youfeng’s eyes lit up with joy. He stroked his beard and said, “Not at all, not at all. Brother Qiu Ping, this section you wrote is also very good. You’ve subtly praised His Majesty and the cabinet elders.”

By the time Li Jin was ready to go home, the two were still discussing the policy papers they had completed in recent days.

Wu Wei asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t Youfeng discuss the policy with Xiuzhi before? I see your policy paper is really well written.”

Pan Youfeng paused for a moment, then said, “Do you remember the letter that Wan Jiaoyu sent to Xiuzhi the day before yesterday, congratulating him on the full moon of the little leopard?”

“Of course, I remember!”

Pan Youfeng said, “Don’t let this matter out. The person who was revising the policy with Xiuzhi was Wan Jiaoyu.”

Wu Wei abruptly stood up, his head hitting the wall with a ‘thud’.

Pan Youfeng, worried that the noise here would be discovered by the instructors, quickly pulled Wu Wei down and said, “Don’t get excited…”

After a while, Pan Youfeng heard Wu Wei murmuring.

“I was wondering why Xiuzhi started reading miscellaneous books. It’s not just the algorithms, but even the more profound ones that are rarely tested in the Qiuwei exam. It turns out he no longer needs to practice the policy discussions in the ‘Four Books’ and ‘Five Classics.”

Seeing Wu Wei in a daze, Pan Youfeng felt a pang of guilt for a moment.

He knew he shouldn’t have been so stimulating to his classmates.

However, on the other hand, with Li Jin being favored by Wan Jiaoyu, doesn’t this indirectly prove that he is very capable?

Only Wu Wei, who had little contact with Li Jin, would naturally regard him as an ordinary scholar.

When Wu Wei came back to his senses, Pan Youfeng asked, “I see you can’t concentrate on the policy discussion anymore. Why don’t we go for a meal and then go to the brothel for a couple of drinks tonight? We will continue writing the policy discussion from tomorrow.”

Wu Wei agreed.

On the way, Pan Youfeng asked, “I see you are not familiar with Xiuzhi. How come he invited you to Erlang’s full moon banquet?”

When Pan Youfeng asked this, it didn’t have any other implications. He had been in contact with Li Jin for so long and found that Li Jin’s choice of friends really depended on their character. It was difficult for ordinary people to form a deep friendship with him.
