Self-preservation is an instinct, and almost everyone knows to carefully protect themselves to protect their body and mind from harm.
But there are always some people who regard themselves as a piece of refined iron that has been tempered for thousands of times, and don't care about the damage to their body and soul.
Qiao Junlin has become more and more alienated recently, just because there are two more spots available at Taixue.
What he is studying now is the Four Schools.
In front of the Four Schools, there are Guozi Studies and Taixue.
According to the law, the Four Studies can supplement Taixue, and Taixue can supplement Guozi Studies.
In other words, it is a little bit worse.
If students in the school perform well or due to various other factors, they may have the opportunity to transfer to a good school.
These three schools originally had clear regulations to limit the number of students, but for now, the number of students in Guozixue and Taixue is basically still within the prescribed number, and the four schools are already seriously overcrowded. .
Things are rare and valuable.
With so many students enrolled in Four Schools, students graduating from this school will naturally become less and less rare.
Students of Four Schools who want to become famous will naturally become more and more popular.
Disaster.
So this time, after the news spread that Taixue said that it would fill two places from the four majors, many students among the four majors were eager to take up a spot, and Qiao Junlin was quite prominent among them. of one.
But whether it can be made up for is difficult to say.
Although Qiao Junlin studies hard, many teachers in the school still prefer students who are smart and transparent, or students who have a noble demeanor.
This kind of orientation, in more straightforward terms, first of all, you must have a good family background, and then you You also need to be smart and stylish.
Qiao Junlin is not very good at these two aspects.
When he is sweating profusely and riding Yanerfei on the training ground to shoot arrows, some people not only don't think he is handsome, but also think these two words in their minds. : Poor.
Of course, not everyone has this mentality.
There are still many gentlemen in the Four Schools who appreciate Qiao Junlin's diligent and progressive character and his tenacity that ordinary people cannot match.
In particular, the instructor who taught them how to ride and shoot admired Qiao Junlin very much.
If calculated strictly based on ranking, Qiao Junlin would still have a hard time getting a spot this time.
But for these two places this time, Qiao Junlin knew very well that those who could successfully fill in the Imperial Academy might not necessarily be the first or second place, or the third or fourth place in their school.
There are many variables in this matter.
It may be just a word from a certain school leader, maybe an unrelated official will interfere, and maybe the attitude of the clan children must also be considered.
It is said that in Hongwen Hall and Guozi In the three schools of Xue and Taixue, students have considerable say because they are of noble birth.
Qiao Junlin wanted to enter Imperial College, he also wanted to be from a prestigious school, and he also wanted to jump into a higher circle.
The imperial examination system at this time did not adopt a nameless system, so in the examination process, the more famous people were, the more advantageous they were.
If you want to be famous, first of all, the stage is very important.
At such a critical time, Qiao Junlin worked harder than usual to highlight his presence.
He had to perform well in all subjects and actively participate in social activities.
The continuous study and socializing made him feel exhausted physically and mentally, but this young man did not take it seriously.
He believed that as long as he endured it, it would be fine.
In socializing and socializing, compared with those whose status When dealing with people who have high self-esteem, his self-esteem will inevitably be hurt sometimes, but he also believes that as long as he tolerates it, it will pass.
There are many people in this world who are born with a halo, standing on high platforms built with wealth and status, and are naturally superior to others.
In addition, there are some people who are blessed by nature.
No matter what kind of corner God puts them in, they can still shine and become famous all over the world.
Qiao Junlin does not have an extraordinary background, nor does he think he has any extraordinary talents.
The only thing he can use to compete with others is hard work.
Boring?
Many people think that Qiao Junlin is quite boring.
However, for Qiao Junlin now, there is nothing more interesting in the world than realizing his plan step by step.
In the early morning of May, Qiao Junlin rode Yaner Fei through the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
All he was thinking about was the day's lessons.

This young man is sixteen years old this year.
His beautiful face is still tender and his stature has not yet fully grown, but he possesses fortitude and forbearance that many adults lack.
He tempered himself like a piece of fine iron, and gradually, his body began to acquire a light like fine iron, which was cold and hard.
Only in some inadvertent glances, fragile emotions that are inconsistent with the strong appearance will be revealed.
In Xipo Village, Luo Sanlang, who in Qiao Junlin's eyes was blessed with the ability to shine even if he was thrown into a corner, was squatting on a round stone the size of a millstone, looking at his apprentice Liu Huo Gang.
A few days ago, Tian Luo Yong asked his disciples and Wang Dang and others to help him spread the word that he wanted to collect lambs.
Then in the past few days, people started to drive lambs to him to sell them.
Most of them were farmers nearby, many of them There are more than a dozen heads, and there are only two or three heads.
Luo Sanlang's soap is notoriously difficult to buy, but it is said that if he wants to buy something, if you deliver it to him at the door, he will exchange it for soap.
There was an old man by the Sanchuan River who wanted to buy a dowry for his daughter.
He wanted to buy her some soap from Luo Sanlang's family to show off, but there were too many merchants queuing up and he couldn't buy it for a while.
If he passed it on, the price would be as high as It’s so expensive that ordinary people can’t afford it.
This time he heard that Luo Sanlang wanted to buy lambs, so the old man picked up grain and went to a distant relative's house in the mountains to exchange for two lambs, and then rushed all the way to Xipo Village.
Originally he was worried that his trip would be in vain, but after Naluo Sanlang heard the cause and effect, he readily agreed and gave him several pairs of mugwort soap and mulberry soap in exchange.
This mulberry soap is a new style recently released, and many people I've never even seen him, I just heard his name.
With the addition of these soaps, his daughter's dowry will look better.
Poor people are afraid of being looked down upon by others, and they are afraid that their daughter will not be a good person in the family after she gets married.
"Your skills are getting better and better."
Luo Yong squatted on the boulder and watched Liu Huo, with the help of his father and brother, gelding two lambs in a few clicks.
"Master taught me well."
Liu Huo said with a smile.
Since this guy learned this craft, his personality seems to be much more cheerful and confident than before.
Liu Huo's parents are both alive, and he has an older brother.
The older brother is already married and has children.
However, he does not have a son.
He has two daughters, the older one is six years old and the younger one is four years old.
The Liu family's appearance genes are not very good.
Liu Huo's brother has a dark appearance, and the wife he married is not beautiful.
He gave birth to two daughters, both with small eyes and flat noses.
Liu Huo loves him very much.
These two nieces and little girls also have relatively cheerful personalities.
Their family has now moved to Xipo Village, not to farm, but to herd sheep for Luo Yong.
Luo Yong made an agreement with them that he would now hand over all the lambs and pastures to them.
From now on, every ten sheep slaughtered by his farm would be allocated to the Liu family.
In addition to regularly providing some straw, soybean meal, salt and the like, Luo Yong doesn't care about anything else.
The Liu family has to take care of the breeding work themselves.
Luo Yong doesn't buy lambs every year.
Let's just work together for a year or two and see if the Liu family can't help him manage this pasture well, Luo Yong will definitely have to replace him when the time comes.
"There are few people here.
When you work on weekdays, you have to keep a close eye on these two little kids."
Luo Yong reminded the adults of the Liu family.
"I know that."
Liu Huo said, "Xu Sanlang asked us to send these two children to his place to play with his little daughter.
I think that's okay."
This is a good idea.

There are a lot of people and lots of food in the Xu family's guest house.
As long as the children are nutritious, they will grow up quickly.
For example, the four sisters in his family have been smoking Kejiner recently.
Last year's When I put on my clothes today, the sleeves and trouser legs are all too short.
Looking at the pasture in front of me, the grass seeds have been sown and a lot of lambs have been bought.
Near the dirt road, a new square adobe yard was built, which was the sheep shed.
Luo Yong and his disciples helped him build it together.
In the days to come, Luo Yong will have to continue to purchase goats.
This year, he plans to collect 300 to 500 goats first, and maybe add some more next year.
The year after that, he should be able to breed his own lambs. came out.
"Da da, da da" At this time, another horse ran over from the direction of Lishi County.
The man on horseback wears a green futou on his head and a blue robe.
He has a strong posture and a bit of a scholar's temperament.
At first glance, he is an elite talent who is capable of both literary and military skills.
Although this era is not developed, it is like this But there are quite a few young talents.
"May I ask this young man how far it is to Xipo Village?"
The man reined up his horse next to the sheep shed and asked Luo Yong.
"It's just a little ahead."
Luo Yong pointed casually in the direction of Xipo Village.
"Thank you."
The man held his hand again, then flicked his riding whip and ran away again.
"Da da, da da" After a while, the horse ran back again.
"I dare to ask this young gentleman, does he know Luo Sanlang?"
Isn't this nonsense?
He lives so close to a celebrity like Luo Sanlang.
There is no one who doesn't know him from all over the country.
I think this guy must be running.
While running, he suddenly remembered that the boy he saw on the roadside just now might be Luo Sanlang, so he ran back again.
"I am Luo Sanlang."
Luo Yong grinned.
"I have admired the name of Rasaburo for a long time."
The man also grinned, his white teeth almost shining in the sun.
He turned over and got off the horse.
His posture was very handsome, but it was a pity that he was not stable on the ground. , staggered and almost fell.
"I'm Du Gou."
He said to Luo Yong.
Du Gou Because he had contact with Du Xi, Luo Yong also paid attention to the Du family in Jingzhao.
There were only two people who impressed Luo Yong the most about the Du family in Jingzhao.
One was Du Yu in the late Three Kingdoms period, and the other was Du Ruhui in the early Tang Dynasty.
This Du Gou was the eldest son of Du Ruhui.
He led troops to suppress bandits.
Later, because he injured his hamstring during the war, he resigned and settled in Laizhou.
There is also a story in history that he taught the people of Laizhou to fish for needle shad.
It's a pity that this man was eventually implicated in the rebellion of his younger brother Du He, was exiled to Lingnan, and died in the wilderness.
"It's Du Dalang."

Luo Yong also got down from the boulder, stood on the roadside, and bowed his hands with Du Dalang.
After learning that the opponent was Du Gou, Luo Yong realized that his staggering just now was not because he was too pretentious and failed to stand firm, but because of an injury on his leg.
Du Gou came here to learn how to make soap from Luo Yong.
Although this soap recipe is now semi-public, people outside the center of power often have no channels to learn how to make soap. method.
I heard that the sage had sent people to the grasslands to teach this method.
I just had to wait for this soap-making recipe to be widely circulated.
I am afraid it would not be realized overnight, so an idle man like Du Gou had to come all the way from the Jiaodong Peninsula on horseback.
In the Loess Plateau, Luo Yong came to study.
He didn't come empty-handed.
In the bag he carried on his back, in addition to coins and dry food, there was also a bag of seeds.
Speaking of this seed, it really has a great background, it is the famous Champa rice.
Champa rice is an indica rice, quite drought-tolerant, and it is said that the growth cycle is very short.
If they want to grow it here, they should be able to grow it.
They just need to sow it during the warmest season around summer.
If it is really grown by them, then they will have rice to eat here in the future, although the taste of indica rice is still slightly worse than that of japonica rice.
Du Gou had been in Beijing for many years and had made some good friends.
He got this rice seed from a friend in the south.
He originally planned to plant it in Laizhou area.
A few days ago, he heard that Luo Sanlang was also collecting seeds from various places, so he decided to I brought some over and wanted to learn how to make soap from him.
