Chapter 56: Faced with a Choice
Time is like an arrow, five years have passed, and in the sixth year of Zhenghe, Li Yanqing has grown into a twelve-year-old boy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Li Yanqing has spent five years in Lushan Academy, and this spring, he, Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others will take the county school exam and prepare to go to Tangyin County to study.
But their master Yao Ding was a little annoyed, with the knowledge accumulated by Li Yanqing, it was enough to go directly to the Liberation Exam, if he passed the exam, Li Yanqing would become the youngest person in the history of Xiangzhou.
But Yao Ding felt that Li Yanqing should hone for a few more years, and it would not be good for him to be admitted too early.
After thinking about it for a few days, Yao Ding finally decided to ask Li Yanqing for his opinion.
Yao Ding's room is as simple as before, almost unchanged, and the reading couplet that Li Yanqing wrote to Yao Ding still hangs on the wall, but it has been replaced with new paper several times.
But Yao Ding has become old, his beard is all white, his back is a little hunched, he is sixty years old, his energy is not as good as before, his speech has become very slow, his breath is slightly weak, but his eyes are still as stern as ever.
"I still have the last opinion, let you study for two more years of county school and one year of state school, and then take the liberation test after three years, but your father wants you to take the liberation test this year, I think it's better for you to decide."
Li Yanqing was silent for a moment and said, "I'm afraid that students will take the release test too early, and the county will not recommend it." ā
Yao Ding smiled, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened, and his old gaze revealed a rare softness.
"You don't have to worry about this, with your reputation in the county, how can the county not recommend it, and now this county is busy with martial arts and doesn't pay much attention to things like the imperial examination, if the county really refuses to recommend, I will find a few people to jointly protect you, and you can also participate in the liberation test, qualification is not a problem, the key is your own will."
Of course, Li Yanqing didn't want to waste time in the county school, seeing that there were only ten years left before the Jingkang Rebellion, he had not prepared anything, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, but there was still nearly a year before the release test, and it was useless for him to be anxious.
Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "The liberation test will not be held until the end of the year, and there is still nearly a year to go, so the students simply go to take the county school exam, study for one year in the county school, and then take the solution test at the end of the year, so that the county school can also be explained, what does the master think?" ā
Yao Ding saw that Li Yanqing's attitude was very clear, although he was asking for his own opinion, but in fact he had already decided, so he no longer forced Li Yanqing.
"That's fine, in fact, that's what I mean, stay in the county school for two years and then take the exam, but there is no difference between one year and two years, so it's decided!"
"Student understood!"
Yao Ding casually took a copy of Li Yanqing's "The Legend of the Great Sage Fu Demon: Tianzhu Harvesting the Jade Rabbit" written by Li Yanqing, and asked with a smile: "The last one should be written!" Can you give the old man a sneak peek? ā
In the past five years, Li Yanqing has successively written twenty-nine "The Great Sage Fu Demon Ji", the last Tianzhu Zhen Jing is about to be released, Yao Ding was during a home visit two years ago, accidentally found the manuscript of "The Great Sage Fu Demon Ji" in Li Yanqing's home, and he knew that the world-famous Lushan Xiaoxiaozi turned out to be his beloved disciple.
After Yao Ding angrily reprimanded Li Yanqing, he turned out the "Great Sage Fu Demon Ji" that he had confiscated in the school in recent years and read it carefully, and as a result, he also became a loyal reader of Li Yanqing, and he used his master's privilege to always snatch Li Yanqing's manuscript for a sneak peek.
Li Yanqing hurriedly said: "It has been written, and the student will send it to the master tomorrow." ā
"It's too late tomorrow, just today! At noon, you go back and get the manuscript. Yao Ding's eyes flashed with a cunning smile like a naughty child.
Li Yanqing had no choice but to agree, and Yao Ding waved his hand, "Go!" Go ahead! I'm going to class. ā
Li Yanqing got up and saluted and left the master's room.
As soon as he walked to the entrance of the school, his back was hugged by someone, Li Yanqing knew that there was no one else except Wang Gui, he took advantage of Wang Gui's inertia and shook Wang Gui out with skill, Wang Gui stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Tang Huai shook the folding fan and laughed aside, "It's a pity that Lao Li's strength is a little smaller, otherwise Lao Gui will gnaw!" ā
Wang Gui said stupidly: "It's because I didn't use all my strength, is it okay, will I Wang Gui do this kind of thing from behind?" ā
"That's it! Come on! I admit that the king is invincible, so I'm satisfied! Li Yanqing said with a smile.
"Not satisfied, unless you promise to fight me at noon."
Li Yanqing scratched his head, "I have to go back at noon, Master wants to read the manuscript!" ā
Wang Gui's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand, "I'm second in line!" ā
Tang Huai also said anxiously: "Lao Gui will give it to me after reading it." ā
Of course, Wang Gui and Tang Huai also knew Li Yanqing's secret, but under the stubborn stalking of these two boys, Li Yanqing had to agree to their unreasonable demands against his will, Zhu Bajie was a hussar general of Xiqi State before cultivating into an immortal, named Wang Gui, and Sha Sheng's family name was Tang, and Tang Huai, the young owner of Tangjiazhuang in Liushahe.
Even Master Yao Ding hinted at Li Yanqing, since Tang Seng practiced in the ninth generation, could one of the cultivators be surnamed Yao.
made Li Yanqing cry and laugh, and had to make up "The Past and Present Life of the Great Sage Fu Demon" in the eighteenth part, specifically writing the stories of Tang Seng, Bajie and Sha Seng before their reincarnation, as a result, Wang Gui and Tang Huai also became celebrities, but they kept their promise and did not reveal Li Yanqing's secret to others.
Of course, there is also a little selfishness in this, they still want to continue to play other roles in the book, and they must not let Li Er and Li San and those stinky boys rob them.
was arguing, Yue Fei walked out of the school room quickly, pulled Li Yanqing and asked urgently, "How did you decide?" ā
Yue Fei, Tang Huai, and Wang Gui are all taking the county school entrance examination this year, of course they hope that Li Yanqing will continue to go to the county school with them to study, at this time, Wang Gui and Tang Huai also surrounded them, and they also wanted to know Li Yanqing's decision.
Li Yanqing said: "Master and I have already agreed that we will first go to the county school exam, study in the county school for a year, and go to Xiangzhou at the end of the year to take the liberation exam." ā
Yue Fei groaned and said: "Master is going to let me take the Taixue route, so I will only study in the county school for one year, at the end of the year, I will go to Xiangzhou with you, I will go to the state to study, and you will go to participate in the liberation test." ā
Wang Gui suddenly became anxious, "Then what should I do with Lao Tang?" ā
Li Yanqing and Yue Fei glanced at each other, and their eyes showed helplessness, these two guys are good at martial arts by nature, especially Wang Gui is addicted to martial arts training, and his studies are relatively weak, according to their current level, don't say that they can't even pass the state school.
Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Anyway, there is still a year to go, and we will decide at the end of the year!" Maybe everyone will go together then. ā
"Let's go! Let's go! ā
Wang Gui said fiercely: "From today onwards, I, Wang Gui, want that.... The head hangs over the beam, the cone pierces the stock, reads angrily, and goes to participate in the imperial examination a year later, Jinbang High School! ā
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Ding's cold voice came from next to him, "I've heard your words at least ten times." ā
The four of them shrank their necks in fright and slipped into the schoolroom.
ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
Lushan Town School has changed a lot compared with the past, the most obvious is that the number of students has soared, Lushan School won the championship in the County Boy Scouts Association five years ago, which stimulated a lot of people with slightly better conditions, they have sent their children to the school to study, and even the neighboring Weinan Town and Zhangji Town have many wealthy families who send their children to Lushan School and worship Yao Ding as a teacher.
It was the sharp increase in the number of people that made the school build several rooms on the north side of the playground as a school room, and at the same time added two masters, one surnamed Zhou, a native of Lushan Town, who was born and was responsible for teaching middle school rooms.
The other is Li Yanqing's cousin Li Daguang, Li Wengui finally dismissed his position as the caretaker of the ancestral hall, and Li Wenyou placed him in the school to teach, specializing in teaching primary school, although he is not a lifter, but he has taken the state examination for more than ten years, and it is more than enough to teach six or seven-year-old children to read and write.
The second change is the change in the style of study, which is also related to the new magistrate, three years ago, the magistrate Liu Zhen ran a good school, was promoted to Cizhou Tongju, the new magistrate surnamed Jiang, named Jiang Dadao, nicknamed Jiang Dadao.
In Tong Guan's words, Tangyin is a heavy county in northern Xinjiang, and it has been weak for a long time, so it is better to use military personnel to boost the martial arts and resist Liaofan.
Jiang Dadao is as his name suggests, and he is resolute in his work, and on the first day of his appointment, he changed the Boys' Club from a literary test to a martial arts test, but was boycotted by all schools, but Jiang Dadao was uncompromising and simply canceled the Boys' Club.
Although Jiang Dadao is rude, he is not stupid, the boy will be the political achievement of the former magistrate, no matter how well he does it, it has nothing to do with him, Jiang Dadao walked the martial arts road, and forcibly implemented martial arts classes in the county school and various schools, and every two days he had to take an afternoon to practice martial arts, which led to the prosperity of martial arts in Tangyin County.
In just a few years, the simple literary style of Tangyin County has disappeared, and the students are all strong and skilled, but last year's hair test was wiped bald, and none of the county bachelors were admitted to the lift.
Tangyin County martial arts is strong, Lushan Town School has also been strongly impacted, students all wear swords to go to school, although Yao Ding resisted, how to learn the new regulations in the county, martial arts is a compulsory test, Yao Ding in order for students to enter the county to study, had to obey the general environment.
In addition, Li Daguang was bent on currying favor with Zhixian and encouraging students to bring weapons to school, Yao Ding was too old to simply leave it alone and devote himself to cultivating several of his beloved disciples.
In contrast, Li Yanqing and the four of them are the most restrained, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei never brought weapons to school, only Wang Gui, who loves to practice martial arts, got an extremely sharp short sword from somewhere, and wore it on his body from morning to night, showing off his might in the school.
Tang Huai took a novel route, he had a Japanese folding fan that his relatives bought from the capital for ten times, he held it in his hand all day long, and he unfolded the folding fan at every turn to recite poems and words, posing like a romantic scribe, it is said that this kind of style is more popular in the capital.
As soon as the four of them walked into the school room, Li Er rushed in and shouted loudly: "The latest news, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo is coming!" ā
