Chapter 23 Ma Junhui

"Hmm! Not bad. Since you can recite it, I'll teach you to read the next part." Mr. Wen was becoming increasingly satisfied with this student. With such talent and the ability to focus, as long as he combines it with hard work, he has a great chance of succeeding in the imperial examinations in the future. Such students are favored by teachers.

"The sea is salty, the river is fresh, scales dive, feathers fly..." Mr. Wen recited the next eight lines and then let Gu Chengyu read on his own. "That's enough teaching for today.

I'll assign the coursework before the end of class."

"Yes, sir." Gu Chengyu stood up, bowed, and then sat down, spreading out paper and resuming writing while reading aloud. Mr. Wen nodded upon seeing it, the child is teachable indeed!
