Chapter 36: On the Road


The meal at noon was very sumptuous.

Both the old man and his father had a look of enjoyment on their faces, picking up a few dishes with chopsticks, drinking old wine, and looking at the well-behaved Li Yanran from time to time.

"Goudan, don't let Miss Li catch you yet," the old man ordered.

"Grandpa, Miss Li can let me pick it up.

Isn't there Xiao Cui?"

Yang Ming felt that his position had been taken over by Li Yanran, but he still pretended to be very happy and picked up a piece of shredded pork and put it in Li Yanran's bowl. inside.

"Thank you, old man."

Li Yanran politely thanked the old man, and then said to Yang Ming: "Thank you, brother Yang Ming."

Sure enough, women are all born actors Yang Ming couldn't help but secretly lamented that Li Yanran was really showing off her talents by not going to the Oscars to be the best actress.

Her acting skills were even better than those of a carrot.

Thinking about the fact that they have known each other for so many years, Li Yanran still looks strange like this.

He couldn't expose the true face of this scheming girl in front of the old man, so he just had a hasty meal and sent the girl away when the time came.

However, just after dinner, Li Yanran didn't even mention that she was leaving.

She pulled Yang Lan and walked towards the back room.

Seeing the two talking and laughing, Yang Ming sighed secretly and walked quietly towards the study.

I must go to Master Liu’s house again tonight.

Because the county examination will be held in two days, Master Liu, Yang Ming’s mentor, must have a lot to explain.

After reading slowly for a long time, Li Yanran came to the study room with Yang Lan who was smiling.

"Brother, sister Yanran is going back, let's see her off."

As soon as they entered the house, Yang Lan said to Yang Ming that it looked like this girl must have been bribed.

Not only did she look at the small basket in Li Yanran's hand, she probably didn't escape either.

"No need, brother Yang Ming is about to take the exam, we can't delay his reading."

Li Yanran looked weak, but she didn't move her feet and looked at the person with a longing look, which looked very pitiful.

Even Yang Ming felt that if he didn't send it off, he would be less than human.

"Brother, can't you go see Sister Yanran off?"

Yang Lan lost her temper.

Every time she acted coquettishly, her brother would satisfy her request.

Just like Dahuang back then, it was because of her request that her brother Cai saved her life. .

Yang Lan believed that as long as she persisted, Yang Ming would obediently give her this sister Yanran.

Her mother even asked her in the kitchen that this sister Yanran was really beautiful and would she be her sister-in-law in the future?

She looked forward to it.

The whole family was bribed.

As an isolated and vulnerable person, Yang Ming only put down the book and took out the subsequent chapters of Journey to the West from the bookshelf before nodding reluctantly.

As soon as Yang Lan went out, she was called back by her mother.

He said there was still something to do and asked for help.

Needless to say, this is because I want to create opportunities for myself and others.

Of course, this is just her wishful thinking.

Yang Ming will not believe that this girl will marry him.

I don't like it either On a country road, a boy and two girls, their shadows are stretched so long under the long sunset.

"Hey, Yang Ming, the food you cooked today is not bad.

I like it very much."

Li Yanran broke the silence.

"Really?"

Yang Ming smiled slightly and said, "As long as you like it, I will do it for you when I have time.

Hearing Li Yanran's praise, Yang Ming felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to respond perfunctorily.

"Well, I'll come to your house after your county test is over."

Li Yanran seemed to be in a good mood.

She didn't even say "poor" all day long, which made Yang Ming a little uncomfortable.

Come again Yang Ming wished he could slap both of his mouths It's all my fault that I'm such a mean-mouthed person, and I actually talked nonsense.

If I invite this great god, I won't be the one who suffers.

However, the same goes for Li Yanran.

She just said it casually and he actually believed it.

Even though the matter had come to this, Yang Ming couldn't say anything else.

He followed Li Yanran and glared at the girl fiercely.

The so-called county examination is actually only a part of the boy's examination, and it is the most basic link to pass the boy's examination.

The entire boy's examination is divided into three stages: county examination, government examination and hospital examination.

County examinations are held in each county, with the county magistrate presiding over a total of five.

After passing the prefecture examination, the prefectural official will preside over the examination.

After passing three times, you can be called a "tongsheng".

At this stage, you are only one step away from becoming a scholar. , and only after this stage can one be recognized by scholars and be called a scholar.

Of course, for example, the current Yang Ming can also be called a scholar, but only relative to ordinary people.

After that, they will take the college examination hosted by the academic administration or academic education of each province.

After passing it again, they will be the so-called students, also called scholars.

From then on, he truly integrated into the Shilin circle, enjoying the gift of exemption from corvee, tax exemption, and receiving imperial chestnuts every quarter.

Once you become a scholar, you will benefit from your descendants.

This is how there are thousands of scholars who have lived in poverty for ten years just for that one kick at the door.

"I haven't told you anything about this county examination.

You just need to calm down.

However, there are many accidents in this imperial examination.

Don't be discouraged if you fail."

Master Liu took out a copy of the test preparation from his arms and said, "This is These are the test preparations that Master has prepared for you.

You need to keep them close to your heart.

You can go and say goodbye to your Master’s wife and then go away.”

Master Liu gradually fell into silence.

He lay on the recliner and slowly closed his eyes, as if reminiscing.

After saying goodbye to his wife, Yang Ming, he had to prepare for the county examination.

Going to my home in the county alone for the first time was full of expectations and worries.

I have been studying for more than ten years just for this day I packed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, plus basic books and a few daily clothes, into a baggage and put it on my back in the ox cart driven by my father, and set off on the road to the county examination.

Three iron pots were steaming at the gate of Shuiximen City.

From time to time, several farmers came forward to ask for a bowl of soup and then slowly left with the smiles of the soldiers.

One side of the corner was piled with hay.

Zhang Chengzheng and several brothers squatted on the ground.

Tied into bundles.

We were short of hay again, so we had to send the two brothers to the mule and horse market to sell it.

Life is much better now than before.

Seeing the old farmers thanking each one with smiling faces, he feels that life like this is really good.

The people at the south gate of the city also learned Shuixi gate's method, and the brothers all felt that they couldn't stand it.

This is a method that was taught to Shui Ximen by my young husband.

Why did he learn it so easily?

For this reason, the soldiers of the two sects had a fierce battle, but in the end they settled under the guidance of the county magistrate.

However, the county magistrate seemed very happy and rewarded Guard Liu with ten taels of silver.

From a distance, I saw an ox cart slowly driving over.

Zhang Cheng took a closer look and hurried over: "My dear husband, why are you here?"

Yang Ming smiled angrily and asked, "Why can't I come?"

"No, no," Zhang Cheng quickly gave himself a scratch and said with a smile, "Look at my mouth, little husband, what are you doing this time?"

s: The first chapter is here.

The county exam is about to take place.

Can all students support Yang Ming?
