As a medium-sized city with a lot of mobility, the morning market in Jincheng is extremely early, at two or three o'clock in the morning, there are many businesses on both sides of the street to start busy, at four or five o'clock, there are some scattered shouts on the street, and after a while, the street is already full of people.

On weekdays, Yu Xuan mostly waited until the sun hung above his head before he was picked up from bed by his mother, but today was the beginning of the study day, and Yu Xuan had to force himself to open his worried eyes early in the morning.

Study day is a decree issued in the early days of the founding of the Yu State, this decree must be enforced, four of the seven days as study days, children under the prescribed age in all parts of the country must go to the general academy specially established by the state government to study in all aspects of the study day, if they are under the age to refuse to go to the general academy on the study day, they will be severely punished together with the whole family, even if they are the children of officials.

When they reach adulthood, those who have outstanding grades can independently participate in the annual national examination of Yuguo, and if they do well in the examination, they will be sent to all parts of the country to participate in official positions.

As soon as this decree was promulgated, everyone was boiling, and in this way, many poor families finally had a chance to turn over, but after the decree was implemented for a period of time, they finally realized that even if it was just such a seemingly equal opportunity, most of those who could stand out from the national candidates were some anointed children.

For him, the various obscure things that Mr. Craftsman on the stage talked about were tantamount to a lullaby played by a top pianist, but fortunately, the Pu Academy did not require students' grades, so what made people feel tortured was just the process of fighting between the upper and lower eyelids.

Casually put the porcelain vases scattered all over the place into a pile with his feet, Yu Xuan pushed open the door, there were already two people in the courtyard outside the room who were practicing boxing in the morning, one of them was his father Yu Li, and one of them was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, his name was Yu Shan, one of the guards who followed Yu Li to Jincheng back then, and he was also the leader of the Jincheng city guards today.

Seeing Yu Xuan walking out of the door, yawning constantly, the two stopped moving, Yu Xian smiled, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth that contrasted sharply with his complexion, and said, "What's the matter, you're only twelve years old, and there is a pickled thing at night that makes you unable to sleep well if you don't solve it?"

Yu Li gave him an elbow and motioned for him not to take his son with him.

Yu Xuan naturally didn't understand the meaning, still yawned, and said vaguely: "I picked too many nettles yesterday." If it is not processed overnight, it will be a pity to waste it today. ”

Then, the maid brought a basin of water, Yu Xuan held the water with his hand, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, took the two copper coins handed by Yu Li, and walked outside the door of Yu's mansion.

Yu Li instructed behind him: "Be serious in class!"

Yu Xuan waved his hand, but he didn't dare to agree.

Jincheng has developed rapidly over the years, and many outsiders come to play or purchase local specialties in large quantities, Yu Xuan walks on the street, and he can hear a lot of caravans coming and going negotiating with the owners of various specialty shops, most of the content is how difficult it is for the two sides to compete with each other in their own homes, and how generous the price they pay or sell, until one party is speechless, and the price is finalized.

Yu Xuan came to the front of Aunt Gui's shop, and at this time, Aunt Gui was hurriedly greeting a large group of people who came to Jincheng to play from somewhere, Yu Xuan didn't make a sound, put the two copper coins behind the counter, and took one from the pile of baked cakes that had been stacked together.

Yu Xuan bit the baked cake and turned his head, and suddenly saw a figure with two cute ponytails in front of him, and hurriedly chased after him.

After walking side by side with the figure, Yu Xuan pretended to eat the baked cake as if nothing happened, and after a while, seeing that the other party had not spoken, Yu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Fu Ru, have you eaten breakfast?"

The girl known as Fu Ru turned her head to look at Yu Xuan, who was still chewing the baked cake in his mouth, but he unconsciously stopped chewing, and two touches of crimson rose on his cheeks, and he was embarrassed.

Fu Ru looked at Yu Xuan, and said in a childish voice: "I haven't eaten it." ”

Yu Xuan wanted to hand over the baked cake in his hand, but when he saw the bite marks on the baked cake that were obviously stained with saliva, he had to give up, he just wanted to say something casually, but now he didn't know how to continue, so he could only follow Fu Ru's buttocks.

This girl of the same age named Fu Ru is the daughter of a local family in Jincheng, born at a young age with red lips and white teeth, cute and abnormal, people who have seen Fu Ru all doubt that she will inevitably grow up and become the dream lover of countless people.

But in fact, Fu Ru, who was still young at this time, had already become the object of affection in the hearts of many of his peers, including Yu Xuan, and occasionally when it was not a study day, Yu Xuan would also think about going to school quickly, in fact, he just wanted Fu Ru.

But Fu Ru's attitude towards Yu Xuan is really not friendly, whether it is in the general academy or on the street, if Yu Xuan does not take the initiative to speak, Fu Ru will never take the initiative to talk, fortunately, Fu Ru's attitude towards most people is so cold, so that Yu Xuan's heart is balanced.

The two walked for a while, and then they saw the General Academy, which was renovated from an ordinary house bought by the state government from a family who moved out of Jincheng a long time ago, and the appearance was largely preserved, so it was not much different from other private houses.

Yu Xuan saw a figure squatting at the door from a distance, it was Xie Ma, who wanted to wave to Yu Xuan, but when he saw Fu Ru beside Yu Xuan, he put down the hand he had just raised in surprise.
