Chapter 013: Lao Tzu Teaches His Son

Wu Tixue just came out, and happened to hear Lu Cheng's words, and couldn't help nodding secretly: "This son is a talent that can be created, but I don't know if this year's children are as knowledgeable as him?" ”

At the back of the crowd, a young man asked the servant beside him, "What did he mean by that, and why didn't my son understand it?" ”

The servant thought about it very seriously for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to shake his head, saying that he didn't understand either. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Smack-"

Childe slapped him on the head and scolded angrily: "I don't know if you still want to ask?" Hurry up and ask someone what this means. ”

The servant did not dare to slack off, so he got into the crowd in front of him and asked someone to ask.

Zhao Yuhu felt that he must have seen this sentence before, but he didn't remember where it came from for a while.

Silly stood in place and thought for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that these words seemed to come from Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", which probably means that learning must be quiet and single-minded, and talents come from learning, and if you don't study, you can't increase your talents. Without ambition, you cannot achieve anything in your studies, if you indulge in laziness, you will not be able to lift your spirits, and if you are impatient, you will not be able to cultivate your temperament. The years go by at any time, and in the end nothing can be accomplished, and can only mourn the ugly house, and then it is too late to regret it.

There is nothing wrong with this, but from Lu Cheng's mouth, there is something wrong.

If Wu Tixue or his teacher said this, Zhao Yuhu would still accept it humbly. After all, these words came from Zhuge Liang's family letter to admonish his son, as long as he is his elder, he is qualified to say this about himself, but who is Lu Cheng? Did he teach himself as if he were his son?

After thinking about this, Zhao Yuhu's white face turned red, and when he raised his head, he found that Lu Cheng had long since disappeared, and he couldn't find anyone if he wanted to settle the account, so he could only leave with his head down hatefully, not daring to face the eyes of everyone present.

When everyone saw that the two parties were gone, there was no room to watch the play, and they all dispersed.

Lu Cheng stayed in the Penglai Inn for another night, and early the next morning, he went to the street to buy cloth, as well as some food and daily necessities.

There are too many things with him, and it is definitely not possible to walk, Lu Cheng hesitated for a while before hiring an ox cart and going home.

It takes three days to wait for the hospital to test the list, and it is too wasteful to stay in the guest house in Fucheng, and if you really win the list on the day of the list, there should be a messenger to report the good news.

The county test is in the county, and there are generally officials from the county government who go to each house to report the good news. In fact, this good news is not explicitly stipulated, but a means for the officials to make extra money, anyway, the townships are not too far, and it is not bad to make some happy money on a trip.

There is no such rule in the government test, after all, most of the fucheng is far away from the townships and counties.

Again, even if the government test is successful, it is just a "child", and he has not achieved fame, the other party is happy, but it is not a great joy, and the reward money is not much.

The college exam is different, the first "case" is just to announce the results and be shortlisted for the second exam. After the second exam, you can really decide who will become the student of this year.

Obtaining the fame of talent is the real starting point for entering the imperial examination, and the status will change greatly, and the county officials can not kneel when they see them, even if they are sued to the yamen, if there is no real evidence, the government cannot torture them. And when you walk outside, you meet neighbors in the township, and everyone you know knows that you are a showman, and you will generally be called "Xianggong" with your surname.

Therefore, on the day of the release of the hospital examination, the officers are still willing to make this trip. Even if it is a poor family, as long as they know that the family has won a show, they will not be stingy with rewarding money, which is much more than the reward during the prefectural and county examinations, and it is still worth the hard work of the errands.

Sitting on the ox cart and walking leisurely for a few hours, when Lu Cheng finally returned home, it was already afternoon.

Women in this era pay attention to "husband and children" at home, and rarely go out to hang out, let alone often go out to play mahjong like in later generations. At this time, it was the time of the farm, and the mother should be at home.

On weekdays, my mother Wang basically stays at home, in addition to raising some poultry, she will also steal some spare time to make some cloth shoes, sell them in the county market, and make some money to subsidize the family.

When his father was alive, the life of the Lu family was not too bad, and the family had some farmland, as long as they were diligent and did not encounter disasters or anything, they could still be self-sufficient in life.

However, even in later generations, there is still the saying of "returning to poverty after illness", let alone in this era?

In a family, once someone is seriously ill, the money for the doctor to take medicine is absolutely indispensable.

It doesn't matter if my father's illness can be cured, but it is not cured, the family is missing a pillar, and everything can only be managed by my mother alone, and life is naturally becoming more and more difficult from then on.

Lu Cheng has already thought about it, as long as he can be admitted to the show this time, and then take the annual examination, if he can become a member of the restaurant, his living conditions can be improved a lot.

There are six buckets of rice per month, ten liters for one bucket, ten buckets for one stone, six buckets of rice, nearly 100 catties. The six buckets of rice given by the government alone are enough for himself and his mother to eat every month.

In these days, ordinary people usually only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. In the homes of large families, they will eat some snacks in the afternoon.

In addition, the government will also supply fish, meat, oil, and salt, even if you stay at home and eat and wait for death, as long as you can keep the title of this young man during the annual examination every three years, you will not starve to death at all, but your life will be shabby, otherwise how can there be a saying of "poor and sour talents"?

Even if it is not good, as long as you have the fame of Xiucai, you are qualified to open a private school and give people a lesson. As a private school gentleman, you can live by collecting some restraints, or if you go to the county office, it shouldn't be a problem to apply for a master or something.

Of course, this can only be called "messing around", usually if you can't pass the township exam, the talent who falls behind will make a living from it. I really have some ability, who doesn't want to pass the township test, know the test, and then enter the court as an official?

Lu Cheng didn't dare to think too far, but he didn't think of any other way out for a while, so he had such a plan. After all, the imperial examination is not easy, and even if you have a book system in your head, you will not think that you will definitely be able to pass the examination.

Anyway, I have the knowledge of later generations, plus some messy craft production methods recorded in my head, maybe I have a flash of inspiration and come up with some ways to make money?

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Cheng entered the house, he found his mother sewing a piece of his own clothes. He put down the things in his hand and said with a smile: "Mother, I bought some food and came back, as well as a piece of cloth, and you can make two clothes for yourself then." ”

Lu Cheng went to Fucheng that day and didn't come back, Wang guessed that he should have passed the first exam, and he was very happy, seeing that he bought so many things and came back, he couldn't help frowning and reproaching: "You kid, where did you get the money?" You can't toss it like this if you have money! ”

"Uh......"

Lu Cheng scratched his head, not knowing how to answer his mother's question.

When I was on the road, I just thought about what I was going to do in the future, and I forgot to make an excuse for myself. You can't say that this is the medical expenses that others paid for when you were beaten, right?
