Chapter 1: Passing on Dreams

Next Chapter

Fujian Road, Jianzhou.

This place is mountainous and watery, and it is in April and May, and the mountains are full of verdant green. The stream goes down the mountain, rides the high laxative waves, touches the stone and flows, and the water reaches the bottom of the mountain by the water of the east and west streams, and the confluence is called Nanpu Creek.

Nanpu Creek is as clear as a mirror and meanders and flows, and it is up to Pucheng County along the stream.

Nanpu Creek surrounds the county governance, bypasses by the south gate of the county seat, the upper is the Baiyun Pond, the stream is flowing turbulently, so far it is deep and clear, and the water of the east flow is folded and west, the next is the bathing pool, the water of the west flow is folded and the south is connected, the color of the bathing pond is indigo, the floating water is bright green, it is named because of the little bit such as the water.

Between the two pools, a Changhong connects the county seat, this bridge is called Shuinan Bridge, the bridge is covered with houses, and pedestrians come and go.

There is a residential area in the south of Shuinan Bridge, called Shuinan New Street.

The street is by the mountain in the south and the water in the north, standing here and looking at the west, a lonely mountain is surrounded by obstacles, all around is the field Qianmo, this mountain is quite isolated and gets the name of the lonely mountain.

During the Six Dynasties, the great talent Jiangyan was ordered by Pucheng County, and the five-color pen was awarded by the gods in this dream, and later this mountain was renamed Mengbi Mountain.

At this moment, in a building facing the street on Shuinan New Street, Mengbi Mountain is in sight from the window.

A twelve-year-old boy named Zhang Yue said to himself: "They all say that this is a crossing, but if you come, you will be safe!" But why don't I have a system? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue looked up to the sky forty-five degrees and sighed for a long time.

The start is too bleak, and it needs the strong support of the system dad!

Zhang Yue has two elder brothers, the eldest brother is named Zhang Shi, and the son inherits his father's business and runs the family shop.

The second brother Zhang Xu was able to write at the age of seven, and at the age of eight, he was admitted to the Huanghua Pavilion, which is the official school in the county, and was deeply appreciated by the county commander Chen Xiang.

Zhang Xu is also outstanding in the county school, and even when the school is on leave, he asks Zhang Xu to teach the government students for himself.

Needless to say, Zhang Xucai is famous in the county, and the family has expectations, and those who say the matchmaker have broken through the threshold in recent years. Later, he alarmed Zhao Zhusi in the yamen, and gave 300 dowry money to marry his beloved daughter to the Zhang family.

can talk about such a family matter, for the Zhang family of the side branch of the big clan, it is naturally unwanted. When Zhang's father died of illness, he agreed to come down for Zhang Xu.

This would have been a great marriage for both families.

But in the night of the candles in the cave room, Zhang Xu was gone, and everyone couldn't find any trace of him, so they found a note in his study.

The letter wrote, 'My great son is a famous man in Donghua, how can he marry the daughter of a sword and pen officer? ’

Zhang Xu didn't know where to go, and there was no news.

Some people say that he went to Beijing, some people say that he ran away from home and encountered robbers on the way, and some people say that he was so fascinated by a certain Qinglou woman that he abandoned his wife and home......

And Zhao Zhisi, who ran away from marriage, was also furious. A priest doesn't seem to even be an official, but his power can be said to be all over the county.

Hearing that he had offended Zhao Zhisi, the old servant who had followed the Zhang family for many years left first, and when he left, he also swept away some softness.

Immediately afterwards, the shop guys of the Zhang family, who had been operating in the city for decades, resigned one after another, until one day they had an inexplicable fire, so they not only suffered a lawsuit, but also lost a lot of money.

And Zhang Yue, who studied in a private school, was expelled from school because of his private collection of beautiful paintings.

Now Zhang Yue is not only out of school at home, but also discredited, so he spends his days in a mess.

In the past few days after Zhang Yue crossed, when he learned about this opening, he couldn't wait to sleep again so that he could travel back. So Zhang Yue pretended to sleep on the wall, listening to the sound of squeaky footsteps coming from the stairs, and then the sound of the curtain rolling up.

A person sat behind him and said, "Third brother, it's all sunburned, and he's still lying on the bed." ”

Listening to the voice, the more Zhang knew that it was his eldest brother Zhang Shi.

Zhang Yue understood that he was also very sad to have such a second brother. The other party is Zhang's father, the love of the eldest brother, the attention of the whole family, he has been suppressed under the light of the second brother since he was a child.

Both father and brother focused on cultivating his second brother and asked for famous Confucian advice for him. As the youngest child in the family, although Zhang Yue does not have such good educational resources as his second brother, his father and brother still dote on him very much, and he simply does not want him to suffer from studying, and is a little laissez-faire.

Zhang Yue likes to make some fox friends all day long, go out to eat, drink and have fun, and there is a second brother who can read at home anyway.

You eat hard to study, and I will enjoy it in the future, and my wishful thinking is very good!

Can ...... now

Zhang Yue can understand his brother's mood at the moment, the most proud brother has run away from marriage, and the other brother is so unsuccessful, this family is all supported by him alone, who can he count on?

Zhang Yue didn't want to sleep anymore, pretending to have just woken up, rubbing his eyes and saying, "Brother, you're back." ”

The eldest brother, Zhang Shi, is only twenty-three years old this year. This modern person has just come out to work, but Zhang Shi has been taking care of the shop at home for ten years. And this shop was just burned down by a fire a while ago, and the Zhang family also lost more than half of his net worth in a lawsuit, which really made him a lot haggard.

Bitterness and tiredness covered Zhang Shi's face: "Third brother, don't sleep anymore." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yue got up.

"I'm hungry," Zhang Shi asked, "I'll make you some soup, I haven't eaten it all morning." ”

The food at home was taken care of by domestic servants, but the two servants had already left, one secretly swept away some softness, and the other refused to leave, but the elder brother was afraid of being implicated and insisted on letting him go home to avoid it. Zhang Shi's wife and children also went back to Jianyang's father-in-law's house to avoid the limelight.

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Brother, don't be hungry." ”

Zhang Shi said: "If you are not hungry, you have to eat some, I will buy two mutton fat cakes." ”

After speaking, Zhang Shi went downstairs to get it, and when he came back, Zhang Yue was already wearing a boy's shirt.

Zhang Shi patted the folds on his shirt for Zhang Yue, and then handed the mutton fat cake wrapped in oil paper to him.

The two brothers each had a piece, Zhang Yue was hungry somehow, his stomach was like a fire, and a piece of oil cake was eaten after three times and five divided by two.

Zhang Shi broke half of himself and put it in Zhang Yue's hand.

"I sent you to a private school to study, I didn't expect you to get ahead like my second brother, but I always wanted you to learn a little bit like a scholar, who knows (look at Yanben, Zhang Yue made up for his brother in his heart)...... If you eat some more and be energetic, don't stay in bed all day, you can read if you can, and the family can only count on you! I wasn't a textbook for reading back then, and I could only come and go in the wind and rain all day long. But like the second brother, he studied without distractions, and now he ......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Shi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he pressed the back of his hand to his face.

Zhang Yue said: "Brother, I was ignorant in the past, but now this mess, let's fight together." ”

Zhang Shi nodded, and then told Zhang Yue about Zhang Xu's escape from marriage.

"Seon is a blessing when he loses his horse, and it makes sense. Your second brother reads very well, and even his predecessor Ling Jun appreciates him, and our family has really touched him a lot over the years. The second brother went too smoothly all the way, and he thought that he was a scholar who looked down on Xu officials, so he had to escape from marriage. ”

"But can Zhao Zhusi be an ordinary official? The extravagant characters in this county, not to mention the top and bottom of the yamen, even the king has to respect him for three points. ”

"Speaking of our Zhang family, we just have some surplus wealth, and Zhao Zhisi married me, which is intended to be in the future of the second brother. But the second brother has been reading for a few years, but he doesn't take people seriously. ”

Zhang Yue said: "Brother, it's okay if I was dropped out of private school, and my reputation will be damaged, but no matter what, he can't send someone to burn down our shop." Zhao Zhisi is certainly good, but the king is clear, how can he be allowed to cover the sky with one hand. ”

Zhang Shi shook his head and said: "On weekdays, Zhao Zhusi is unreasonable and still relies on three points, not to mention that this time he is reasonable." Not to mention that he secretly instructed people to burn our shop, even if the open fire insisted on burning it, no one in the county would say that he was not a half-sentence. ”

Zhang Yue said: "What? If the county doesn't advocate for us, I will sue the state, and if the state does not advocate it, I will sue the criminal department! Is the law greater than the human favor? ”

Zhang Shi said: "You don't even know that if you sue the state, the criminal department will definitely advocate for us?" We don't have a way. Besides, there are people in the county, is there no one in the state? You can only talk to me behind closed doors, in case it reaches Zhao Zhisi's ears, our Zhang family is afraid that it will be ...... Even if we win, what good is it, as long as Zhao Zhusi is in power for one day, our troubles will not be interrupted in the future. ”

The Song Dynasty did look down on the officials. Ordinary scholars will not become officials if they are really not forced to have no way.

After becoming a clerk, there was basically no hope of promotion. Zhang Yue remembered that some people on the forum criticized such a system, believing that such a system led to the local officials having no sense of responsibility, just wanting to make a profit, and not seeking progress at all, which led to the corruption of the officials.

In the Water Margin, Song Jiang is the priest, who seems to be awesome and coaxing, but in fact he is still an official, and the official is still the identity of the old white surname. He committed a crime, no matter how the county exonerated him, he would be tattooed on the face. Officials do not need to be tattooed for crimes, because they cannot be punished by doctors.

On the other hand, it seems that the officials are not remarkable, but in fact, in the local area, it is a situation of 'weak officials and strong officials'. The magistrates appointed by the imperial court are few who are not deceived when they are not deceived. There is a saying that 'the official looks at the officials for three days, and the officials look at the officials for ten days'. Officials are mobile, but officials are immobile.

Therefore, once the officials are qualified for promotion, the officials will not be able to confront these officials in local governance. Therefore, the imperial court used a humble name and did not allow promotion to suppress the officials.

The second brother of Zhang Yue only looked down on the officials, but he didn't know that he couldn't afford to offend him at all, and he was ruined when people came to ask for relatives. Even if the other party is an ordinary person, the operation of escaping marriage in this cave room by candle night is not something that normal people can do.

If you escape, you will escape, and you will leave a letter, isn't this a clear slap in the face of Zhao Abshi? Zhao Zhisi is a county official, if he doesn't take revenge on your Zhang family, he won't be able to gain a foothold in the county in the future.

The most important thing is that people have occupied the position of the director for a long time.

If you offend the county order, you will endure it for a few years, but if you offend the priest? This position can still be passed from father to son.

Zhang Shi said: "Your second brother has been in the limelight too much over the years, how many people are waiting to see the jokes of our Zhang family, and there are many people who are waiting to fall into the well." On the Zhao family's side, I have said all the soft words, and I have begged to lower my figure, and I have asked someone to intercede, but so far I can't even see Zhao Zhisi's face. I think he is iron-hearted this time and will not let go of our Zhang family. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shi cheered up and said: "But there is no endless road, you don't have to be too sad, it's a big deal, let's go to Jianyang to join me Taishan." But I'm fine to go there, but you have to send someone to the fence, and I don't want to leave my hometown unless I have to. You'll have to cheer up later. Our father, the second brother is a respected scholar, if you are a scholar, Zhao Zhusi will definitely not dare to do anything to you! ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Shi's words are full of expectations and encouragement. Because he is not a student of reading, it makes sense for him to encourage his two younger brothers to study hard.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel wide in his heart when he thought of this.

Song Taizong said that 'the prime minister needs to use scholars', and the whole country of the Song Dynasty began to emphasize literature and light military force.

The weak Great Song Dynasty, although it was known as the 'big send' in the later forums, but in the past thousand years, the family has usurped the government, the problem of warlord secession has been solved, and the imperial power is not as strong as the later Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, the examination is the most ideal way out. And the second brother Zhang Xu relied on reading to prove the Tao, and stepped on the road of marrying Bai Fumei step by step. If it weren't for running away from marriage, it would still be an example for my brother and neighbors to follow, someone else's child.

As for Zhang Yue's perennial soak in the post bar forum before the crossing, it can be said that he is well-informed, and has a good ability to govern the country with one click, even if there is no help from the system, he has to show his talents, of course, it would be better if there was a system......

Work hard to change the fate of your family and yourself, it's up to you to see what happens.

Zhang Yue confidently looked for the books from the bookcase, which were all books that the second brother had read over the years. He chose a copy of Mencius and planned to read it carefully, but he cruelly found that he could not read classical Chinese with his high three consummation language skills.

Sad!

But it's okay!

Where there's a will there's a way!

A reluctant and unyielding smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth: "It's okay if you don't understand, just memorize it first." ”

So the sound of reading aloud sounded upstairs.

Mencius saw King Hui of Liang. The king said, "Suo, who has come from thousands of miles away, will there also be Eli my country?" ”

Mencius said, "Why should the king be profitable? There is also benevolence and righteousness. ”

Zhang Yue sighed while reading, although he couldn't understand what it meant, but it was worthy of the words of a sage, every word was very imposing to read, and he was particularly powerful in his heart when he read it, and it was really worth memorizing it himself and thinking about it well.

So the more I read the chapter, the more attentive I became...... Half an hour later, he was asleep on the table.

Through the past few days, Zhang Yue always dreamed of a five-color glittering magic pen spinning around his head.

Suddenly, the pen swiped in front of him, as if an ink painting was split in front of him, and the ripples rippled in circles.

A scene appeared in front of him, but he saw an old man in a simple dress holding this pen and said to a young official: "I have a five-colored pen in my arms, and I will borrow it from you today, and he will come back again in the next year." ”

"Student Jiang Yan thanks the god for teaching the pen, I don't know the name of the god man?"

The old man smiled and said, "I'm Zhang Jingyang!" ”

Is this an allusion to the flooding of the river? Zhang Yue, who was on the side, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this.

At this moment, a five-colored pen flew out of the old man's arms and reached the young official's hand.

The old man stroked his beard and said: "Wen can teach people to be good, but also lead people to evil, the article is Tao, you should choose the good from it!" ”

"Remember, students."

After speaking, the official held the pen in his hand, and counted the dots, but saw that there was no paper in the air, and several flowers bloomed on the ground.

The official slashed into the void with his pen again, and the whole person disappeared.

Only the old man was left in front of him.

The old man groaned for a while, as if he was talking to himself: "There are only you and me here, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Yue knew that he was in a dream, but he didn't understand who the old man was talking to.

But he saw the old man looking at himself.

Zhang Yue was startled, as if he was watching TV, and the people inside suddenly looked at him, which was really terrifying.

The old man smiled slightly: "My pen has been given to the river, what do you want?" ”

"Me." Zhang Yue found himself speechless.

The old man looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky was upside down, and the sky was full of bright stars.

The night breeze blew the corners of the old man's clothes: "Since you and I are here together, let's give you this as a gift!" Ru Che kept this sentence in his heart: 'The world is a matter of young people, and the heart of a young man is clear and deep in his dreams'. ”

After speaking, the old man stretched out his hand to himself.

At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly emptied the soles of his feet, and he fell from a great height.

When Zhang Yue woke up, he saw stars outside the window, and fishing fires on the stream were everywhere.

Zhang Yue's eyes widened, staring at the book on the table, and found a terrifying thing, am I not reading? Why did you fall asleep again?

Is it really beneficial to open the book...... Sleep?

What else is this reading? Learn early that the sea is endless, and let's turn back to the shore!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue got up violently, and was suddenly stunned, why was Fang Cai's matter so real.

Zhang Yue thought it was very ridiculous, but when he reached out to wipe his sweat and closed his eyes, he was shocked to find that what he saw in his dream about the old man's experience was vivid, and he remembered it very clearly.

Zhang Yue was shocked to realize that most of the things in the dream would be forgotten after the average person woke up, how could he be like himself, as if a video was recorded and stored in the hard disk, and this hard disk is his own brain.

Isn't what Fang Cai himself has experienced a dream?
