"What's the matter? Still so serious? ”

Mother Sun asked with a little surprise.

In her memory, her children have always been carefree.

Sun once asked Lin Ran.

Why can't you see that your kid is afraid?

Lin Ran's answer was that there was a big man on top of the sky when the sky fell.

What is there to be afraid of?

But today, this kid turned out to be uncharacteristically solemn, which made both Sun and Lin Zhengtai feel a little wrong.

"That's right! Tell your parents about something. Why don't you talk again? ”

Lin Zhengtai saw that his son's little face was flushed, and he couldn't help but hurriedly urge.

"Father, mother. My son has been thinking about it for a long time recently, and he didn't sleep last night. My son decided not to take this year's exam......"

"What did you say?"

Lin Zhengtai and Sun sat down on the stool together.

His face was pale and weak, and Qi Qi looked at their proud son with extremely disappointed eyes.

"Old man, is my son hysterical? Go to Mengjia Village and ask the goddess to come and have a look. ”

Sun said in a panic.

The voice revealed an incomparable heartache.

"Father, mother. My son is sober. The child was unfilial, and the father and mother were disappointed. ”

After Lin Ran finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a pop.

"Why, child?"

Looking at Lin Ran kneeling in front of him, Lin Zhengtai asked with tears in his eyes.

You must know that once you pass the exam, your son will soar.

Just wait for the palace to try, enter the court as an official, and from then on the Lin family will be shaded for generations.

This is an opportunity that many literati students have been searching for and longing for.

However, today.

His son told them that he would give up.

How can they not be heartbroken and miserable as parents.

"Father, mother. Because his son didn't want Liu Gen and Lin Xue to feel that there was no hope in life. ”

"My son, now as a teacher, is the hope in the hearts of these children. Once his son passes the exam, he will inevitably be arranged for an official position by the imperial court, and there will be no time to teach them. ”

"On the night of the Zhengyuan Festival, the words of the children. Father and mother remember, right? They don't want to be without teachers... I don't want to go back to the days when I didn't know a basket of words...

"Son, the reason why he didn't speak back is because he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would not be able to control his tears."

"Father, mother. Many of them are very good, and all of them have the possibility of passing the imperial examination high school. If you can make the second and third sons appear in Linjia Village, they are talented or raise people, Jinshi. ”

"My son thinks it's worth giving up this time, even if they don't pass the imperial examination in the future, they will stay in the village to teach, they will definitely treat the second elder and Guoguo well, Lin Hou."

"Last night, my son asked his conscience many times, and let me let go of dozens of children in Linjia Village, as well as nearly 100 children in Mengjia Village, Zhaojia Village, and Lijia Village, and my son couldn't do it..."

As soon as my son closed his eyes, he was greeted by the children's longing and expectant eyes.

"If my son is gone, maybe their lives will change, maybe Liu Gen will not study hard if he is not there, and Lin Xue will no longer practice calligraphy every day."

"What is the difference between a student who has no teacher and a child who has lost his parents?"

As Lin Ran spoke, tears flowed down his cheeks.

Lin Zhengtai got up and walked over to his son, who was kneeling on the ground.

With tears in his eyes, he gently patted Lin Ran's shoulder and walked to the hall.

He didn't want his son to see his tears.

This man, who has been a father for almost ten years, found out for the first time that his son had really grown up.

But his son's enthusiasm was finally at the expense of sacrificing such a good opportunity to try.

Lin Zhengtai, who walked out of the house, could no longer control his tears, and covered his eyes tightly with his hands.

Something called a tear slipped out of his fingers······

The Sun family in the house couldn't hold back his crying anymore.

"Son, why are you so stupid? Why are you so stupid······ What are you doing with so many things at such a young age? You're going to be angry with your mother······"

Lin Ran knew and could understand his mother's feelings.

Parents in the world, that parent is not in charge and for the sake of their children.

"Mother, the son promises to win the top prize next time to show his mother."

"This time, I will ask the mother to fulfill the child, and also to fulfill the hundreds of children in Linjia Village and several other villages."

Lin Ran knelt down and moved in front of his mother Sun, held his mother's hand and said firmly.

"That's it, ma'am, the child is older. I have my own idea. ”

"There are some things that let the children decide for themselves."

Lin Zhengtai's voice sounded at the door.

"Okay, you Lin Zhengtai. You said it, and you promised it. ”

"If my son can't get the top spot next time, my wife won't finish ······· with you"

Hearing his mother's words, Lin Ran grinned.

Kind mother, still so kind.

It's just that I feel sorry for my son for losing such a good opportunity in vain.

When the villagers of Linjia Village knew that the village chief had given up this year's entrance examination and devoted himself to teaching the children to go to school.

The entire Linjia Village was boiling in an instant.

The adults were shocked, they couldn't believe it was all true.

Although they also want the village chief to continue to teach his children to learn.

But the village chief was obviously about to pass the Shangyuan Festival, so he went to Chang'an City to participate in the test.

How could you give up this great opportunity?

It's different from the complex minds of adults.

The innocent children instantly entered the sea of joy.

They gathered together and came to the Lin family compound.

"Teacher, are you really not leaving? Really didn't you go to Chang'an for the exam? ”

Liu Genlai asked happily and uneasily in front of Lin Ran.

Rejoice because the teacher can stay and continue to teach them.

The uneasiness was because of what my father said, and the teacher gave up the opportunity to take the exam because he didn't delay their studies.

"Teacher, don't go. After a few years, the teacher and Liu Gen re-participated in the imperial examination with everyone. Let's see which of us got a good score. ”

Lin Ran said with a smile.

Lin Shuichang, the patriarch who had just heard the news, walked over tremblingly, and just happened to hear Lin Ran's words.

Two lines of tears slid down the octogenarian's cheeks in an instant.

"Great, great. The teacher is not leaving·······"

The cheerful voice instantly sounded in the Lin family's compound.

It wasn't until years later that the young children learned what decision their teachers had made.

In the end, the villagers who knew the truth were all moved to tears.

Lin Ran's decision is enough to change the status quo of the entire Lin Family Village.

Change the future and future of Linjia Village.

Changing the lives of these children.

In the blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival has arrived.

Shangyuan Festival is the Lantern Festival of later generations.

On this day, His Majesty Li Er accepted the worship of the vassal states of the Western Regions and the tribes of the grassland, as well as the vassal states in the Taiji Palace.

Today's Chang'an, today's Taiji Palace, everywhere is a joyful atmosphere.

His Majesty Li Er held a feast to entertain the ministers and the envoys of various countries who came to worship.

In the Taiji Palace at night, the fireworks at the entrance of the Lizheng Hall pushed the festive atmosphere to a climax.

The concubines of each palace, the princes and princesses, all gathered in the palace.

At dusk, it was dark.

Princess Changle asked Cuizhu to carefully place the fireworks.

The remaining nearly 100 fireworks made of red bricks were neatly placed.

Cuizhu held a torch in his hand, waiting for Princess Changle's order at any time.

Let the torches and fireworks invite a close encounter.

The auspicious time has come.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun took all the concubines, princes and princesses out of the palace together.

"Bamboo Ignition ······"

With the order of Princess Changle.

The sky outside the entire Rikkisei Hall is illuminated with fireworks and is colorful.

Everyone watched with joy at this magical scene.

The concubines tightly covered their mouths of surprise.

The princes and princesses jumped and jumped happily.

The festive atmosphere is constantly heating up with the rising fireworks.

This Shangyuan Festival is particularly memorable because of the costumes of fireworks.

The same fireworks, in different places under the same sky, shine just as brilliantly.

If Princess Changle comes here, she will find out.

Compared with the fireworks in Linjia Village, the fireworks in the palace are just like adults and children.

The fireworks in Linjia Village have been studied in-depth by Lin Ran in the past few days.

Finally, several bucket-sized fireworks were made.

The height of the fireworks spray reached more than ten meters.

In this era when there are no high-rise buildings to cover it.

The brilliant fireworks make the entire Wannian County clearly visible.

Even the people of Chang'an City saw the dazzling colors in the sky above Wannian County.

People who don't know it think it's auspicious from heaven.

Only the villagers of Linjia Village and several nearby villages knew the truth of the matter.

The adults looked at the fireworks like fire dragons and couldn't close their mouths in surprise.

The children danced and sang happily around the fireworks.

In their hearts, their teachers are omnipotent.

Even such fireworks can be made.

What problems can't be solved by teachers?

At this time, Wu Puguang couldn't laugh.

Today he received a letter from Lin Rantuo.

When I learned that Lin Ran gave up this year's examination because of the children of Linjia Village and several nearby villages.

Wu Puguang's heart is mixed.

He was both happy for Lin Ran's choice and sad for Lin Ran's choice.

Why does this kid have such a big heart?

And such a long-term insight?

In the letter, Lin Ran explained his plans and views on the future.

Wu Puguang was amazed.

It's a pity, but it's come to that.

Wu Puguang decided to respect Lin Ran's decision.

As written in Lin Ran's letter, the imperial examination can be re-examined, and the children's youth is only once.

If you miss it once, you will miss it a second time, and if you miss it once, you may miss it forever.

Wu Puguang almost stayed awake all night, and he talked about Lin Ran with his wife Wang Yan.

And let Wang Yan carefully read Lin Ran's letter.

"What a good young man, he gave up what should have belonged to him for the sake of the children in the village."

"Master, do you want to go and see him?"

Wang Yan said softly.

"Well, I'm going to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about it tomorrow, and I'll go to Linjia Village to see Lin Ran the day after tomorrow. At this time, as a teacher, I feel that I should stand by his side and support him, so that he can feel a little warm. ”

In the prince's east palace the next day.

"Your Highness, the teacher has a very good student, and he should have taken the exam this year."

"And with his talent, nine times out of ten he is the seedling of the champion."

"But the teacher received a letter from him yesterday, and he decided to give up this year's exam for the sake of the children in Linjia Village."

"Teacher, I want to go to Linjia Village to see him tomorrow. The reason why the teacher stopped seeing him after coming to Chang'an was because the teacher was in the Ministry of Rites and was worried about others gossiping. ”

"Now that he doesn't take the exam, the teacher has nothing to worry about."

"Tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will review his homework."

Wu Puguang wanted to replace Lin Ran and go to Linjia Village to teach those children, so that Lin Ran could participate in the exam without worry.

But he couldn't.

Because he is now the crown prince and the prince.

Is there anything more important in the world than the prince's affairs?

In the eyes of the royal family, there should be no more than His Majesty.

Wu Puguang didn't see the shocked expression of the crown prince Li Chengqian after hearing his words.

The prince's heart was now like a cat scratching.

The mind is in turmoil.

Lin Ran actually gave up the exam?

It's an incredible thing.

No, you have to report to your father immediately, and let him organize all this happening.

He couldn't watch his good friend leave his good youth in the Lin family village.

Isn't it fragrant to come to the palace to study with him?

Isn't it fragrant to enter the court as an official and give advice to his father and his own Tang Dynasty?

Giving up the whole forest for a small tree, and I don't know how my friends are thinking?

The gentleman who teaches has.

It's a big deal to let my father assign a few to solve it.

Why gamble on your future?

When Prince Li Chengqian thought of this, he couldn't sit still anymore.

"Teacher, the student hasn't gone to greet his father and mother today."

Prince Li Chengqian's whole cheeks turned red because of lying.

"In that case, let's go here today, tomorrow the teacher will go to Linjia Village, and the teacher will come to tutor you in your homework the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, teacher."

After the crown prince and master Wu Puguang left.

The crown prince Li Chengqian ran towards the Lizheng Hall like a smoke.

"Brother Huang, are you running so fast?"

Changle, who was about to go to the Lizheng Palace to greet his father and mother, saw the panicked appearance of the crown prince Li Chengqian, and asked puzzledly.

"Changle, I don't have time to explain to you."

"Hurry up and go to the Lizheng Palace, you'll know later."

Prince Li Chengqian said breathlessly.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who had a solemn face, Changle knew that something big must have happened.

So she also followed the prince's ass and trotted up.

But how could her small body run over, Prince Li Chengqian.

"Father, something is wrong."
