1501, under Workaround

Is the imperial examination for other talents?

Yes, he turned out to be for his family, he wanted to make his family better, a farmer's son, in this era, only a career is the fastest and best way.

Oh, in fact, it's not necessarily, the fastest way is actually a businessman, it's the same everywhere, the connections in the hands of the rich and powerful are naturally easier to get than others, but Shi Nong Industry and Commerce are doomed, no matter how successful the businessman is, in the end there are still some lowly occupations.

If Yang Changjian was not the material for reading, then he would also choose to be a businessman, but if he can read and read good books, then his career is naturally an opportunity to change his current situation, and the life of his family also makes Yang Changjian want to take this road and give them a better life.

And those who were born as bitter children, most of them also came out with such an idea, and Yang Changjian's ambition is not big.

But when he arrived in the capital, he was deliberately approached by Peng Peng, and Yang Changjian's vision was lower, so he was deceived, and he was deceived very badly, and finally almost died tragically, at this time his mentality has changed a lot, he is angry and cynical, and he hates this capital that can make Peng Peng call for wind and rain, but he can't move an inch, and can only die with hatred.

At this time, Yun Cang and Bingyan rescued him, gave him a lot of help, and also helped him to get justice for himself.

Yang Changjian's character is good, so he can always remember the kindness of Yun Cang and Bingyan when he gets help, he wants to become stronger and give Yun Cang and Bingyan in return, he thinks so in his heart, he does the same.

But his mentality has changed a lot, his scientific examination is completely for others, not for himself, so he is under pressure for himself, many times over, he can't get out at all, and he is afraid that others will be disappointed in him, and his change in mentality will not help him in the slightest, but will harm him.

It's a pity that Yang Changjian still didn't realize this, but after listening to the words of the old couple, it made him feel like he was enlightened, and he suddenly became enlightened.

There are good people and there will be bad people, just like when he met Peng Peng, he also met Yun Cang and Bingyan, maybe they helped him for some purpose, but this heart, Yang Changjian felt it. Whether a person is really for his good, or just to take advantage of, he doesn't really can't see it, even if he is blinded for a while, he will still think.

If it is really just a use, then at this time, throw him here, in front of the old couple, then there is no need to do more, it is useless to throw it directly, this good intention, Yang Changjian felt ashamed.

And this old couple has been able to stick to these for so many years, although the two of them, in addition to taking care of themselves, they usually have no expenses, and they have no children and no daughters and can't leave anything for their offspring, so isn't it just right to take care of these children with money.

But they are willing to do it, but it is not what they have to do, they can do it, they have no selfishness, they don't think about anything at all, they just want to take care of these children, do their best.

Yang Changjian had thought too much before, and he was about to crush his own nerves, was this actually necessary? Even if he really can't pass the test, can Princess Cang blame them? At most, he just ignores him, he can do well in the exam and can indeed be rewarded, but who dares to say that he will be able to do it.

Yang Changjian is not a completely ambitious person, if he is not ambitious, he will stay in the countryside and farm, and then the family will find a daughter from the same township and neighborhood to marry, and then give birth to children, and continue to struggle for the sake of children, and this is how it is for life.

As long as he is diligent, there will not be much surplus at home, but food and clothing should be okay, but he is not satisfied with this, so he came out and got good results all the way. At that time, Yang Changjian should have locked himself in his room to read books, instead of talking to them, if he hadn't discovered Yang Changjian's talents, Peng Peng might not have had evil thoughts.

At that time, Yang Changjian also had his own selfishness, saying that he was not knowledgeable at all, knew how to be low-key and modest, and might not be discovered by Peng Peng so quickly, right, to say that Yang Changjian had no problems in this matter, it was impossible.

After that, he was bent on revenge, then about repaying his kindness, and then entering the court as an official, and what else he wanted, he suddenly couldn't think of it.

The old couple like to take care of their children and are willing to give them a home, but that's it, even in their words, it has nothing to do with kindness at all, it's just because they want to, it's that simple.

Yang Changjian felt that he didn't have any heart, what was his heart?

The old couple looked at Yang Changjian and fell into deep thought, glanced at each other, held hands, and left slowly, the shouting of the children outside still did not stop, noisy, but the children's faces were just simple cheerful, so carefree, they looked at it, and couldn't help but hook the corners of their lips, all the troubles of the day, so tired, seeing these children, it seemed that there was no one in an instant.

Yang Changjian knew that the old couple had left, but he didn't know how to react, so he didn't react.

And he also stood up at this time, through the crack in the door, looking at the innocent face of the child outside, and fell into deeper thought.

Why did he want to study in the first place?

I still remember that Xiao Er next door learned a word from the school and came back to show off to him, he asked Xiao Er what the word was, Xiao Er told him, called Mr. 'People' Protestant, he asked Xiao Er, what does this mean.

Xiao Er touched his head, thought for a long time and said, "That's what I mean, just refer to me." ”

At that time, Yang Changjian didn't understand why people referred to Xiao Er, and it was not his name, and then he secretly listened to Mr.'s class, and then he knew that the character, which was just a general reference, not anyone's name, but he also felt amazing.

Later, Mr. found him and was willing to teach him, Yang Changjian was very smart, he himself thought so, what Mr. taught him, even if he didn't know it at the time, but he would think, and he would come up with something later, which was often right. He said that it would be a waste if he could not study deeply, and he was encouraged that he should continue to study and not waste his wisdom.

The more he learns, the more esoteric it is, and even some of the principles of life in it, which are worth his deep thought.

But after coming to the capital, he found that he didn't know much about being a man, he lost a lot, even if he was saved, he made a name for himself, but he still didn't learn much, and he still didn't know what he wanted.

What does he want?

Let his parents live well, and if he wants to repay King Cang and Princess Cang, he will still do this.

But if he joins the ranks in the future, will he be able to solve many problems after that? In fact, he has been ignoring that King Cang and Princess Cang did not use direct means to help him, but in the back, they played a role in pushing the waves, so that Yang Changjian's grievances could sink into the snow, he thought about it and understood that the status of King Cang and Princess Cang in the court was not so easy to say.

And at that time in the Mingxue Pavilion, the wit in the words of King Li and King Cheng, eager to fall into it every time there is a chance, and want to trample each other under their feet, not only them, but also the ladies in the back house who are high up, one by one also has words in their words, and their words are mysterious, and if you don't pay attention, you can make a fool of yourself, and even never recover.

The confrontation in the court will not be less than this, and it will even be more cruel, he has such a naïve idea, I am afraid that the first wave will be eliminated, and the methods of those people are definitely more powerful than Peng Peng.

He even felt that as long as he did well in the exam, there would be no problem, and the imperial examination was only the beginning, and if he was admitted, it was only the beginning, and the road ahead would be even more difficult.

And if he can enter the office, what kind of road he will take, he has not thought about it before, he only thinks about repaying his kindness and repaying in the future, but in fact, it is really empty and has no benefit, no use.

And these, he understands now, have already thought about it.

The relationship between the characters in the court is complicated, he is now thinking about repaying his kindness, but who knows what will happen in the future, what to do if there is a confrontation with King Cang and Princess Cang, and what if he stands in the line of King Cang and Princess Cang, in the light or in the dark, the knowledge in this, just thinking about it, Yang Changjian feels that it is so vast that it makes him seem extraordinarily small.

The previous self was too naïve, and when he entered the official career, he had a heart, to make his family better, and wanted to repay his kindness, but can he persevere, like this old couple, and how will he go here? Now no one can sue him, only he knows if he thinks about it.

That night, Yang Changjian followed the old couple very diligently, helping this group of children to support food and serve food, busy inside and out, and then when he couldn't sleep at night, he would also think about it over and over again, thinking a lot, but he never found the answer, and the more he thought about it, the more complicated it became.

Then the next day, he continued to accompany the old couple to take care of these children, sometimes the child asked him a question innocently, but he couldn't answer the truth inside, he couldn't get out of it, Yang Changjian was very distressed after the third day, after taking care of these children, Hei Qi came to him that night.

Hei Qi only asked him one sentence: "Have you thought about it?" ”

Yang Changjian grimaced: "Say no, I can't think of anything now." ”

Hei Qi smiled: "Then do you think it's easy to read, or do you want these to be simple?" ”

Yang Changjian was stunned for a moment: "Read!" ”

Hei Qi laughed and slapped Yang Changjian: "Then don't go back to read, sometimes you think about it, you say you are sick!" ”

Yang Changjian was stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help laughing, yes, he thought too much, whether he could be admitted or not, this is still a question!

[Author's digression]: After writing it, I found that it seems that this matter is similar to the college entrance examination, and I hope that the relatives of the college entrance examination can be admitted to their favorite schools along the way.
