Chapter 2 Crisis

Today is the day of the county and county to test for children, Fang Yun is the candidate, but Fang Yun is full of despair about his future.

Fang Yun is a typical poor student.

Those students of prestigious families, famous families, wealthy families, canonized families, and even the supreme Confucian Mansion can not worry about eating and drinking, and do not be distracted by their livelihood families, but their luck is not good.

They can go directly to the best academy, but they can't.

They can ask for whatever kind of teachers they want, and they can ask teachers whenever they want, but they can't.

They can buy whatever books they want, such as scriptures, commentaries, biographies, interpretations, and collections, and they don't even need to have them in the buyer's house, but they can't do it.

For Fang Yun and other poor students, it is not easy to live, and being able to read some books is already the limit, as for what gold list titles, what flying youth, and what wonderful life are all beyond the scope of poor children.

Fang Yun couldn't help but clench his fists.

Subsequently, Fang Yun found that he was in a desperate situation, and the most critical issue now was not to worry about the reaction of his family after death, but to survive.

Just last night, the original Fang Yun was beaten to death by four masked men on the way home.

"Who wants to kill that Fang Yun?"

Fang Yun quickly thought of the only possibility.

Before the Qingming Festival, Fang Yun once took his child daughter-in-law sister Yuhuan to the Wuhou ancestral hall fifty miles away to offer incense, and asked Wuhou Zhuge Liang to bless him to pass the county examination and be a high school child.

On the way back, the two men came across a man in a carriage.

The man smiled and asked the way to the Wuhou Temple, and Fang Yun politely pointed in the direction.

How do you know that the person in Lu Dao thanked Fang Yun and then talked about it, and reported to his family, named Liu Zicheng, who showed his talent in high school three years ago, and was a person from the famous Liu family in Dayuan Mansion, his brother was very remarkable, and he was the first person in Jiangzhou last year, that is, Xie Yuan.

Liu Zicheng is nothing but a famous family, but the readers of Dayuan Mansion all know that the Dayuan Liu family has a powerful distant relative in the capital, Zuo Xiang Liushan, the head of the four prime ministers of Jingguo's cabinet, and the first emperor entrusted a lonely minister, and some people even say that half of the officials of Jingguo are Liushan's protégés.

Fang Yun's greatest wish is just to pass the county exam and become a child, as for passing the government exam to become a showman, it is an unattainable dream for him, and Liu Zicheng is polite, extraordinary, and an enviable showman, so Fang Yun is defenseless, Liu Zicheng asks what he answers.

After that, Fang Yun asked Liu Zicheng how to take the county exam, and Liu Zicheng taught him, and Fang Yun was extremely grateful.

When he learned that Liu Zicheng had been to the "Book Mountain", one of the three holy places, and even climbed to the second pavilion, Fang Yun respected Liu Zicheng even more.

After that, Liu Zicheng let his carriage send Fang Yun and Yuhuan home, and the two scholars talked happily along the way, and even called them brothers.

That night, Liu Zicheng stayed at Fang's house and talked with candles and nights, which made Fang Yun even more grateful.

The next day, Liu Zicheng left twenty taels of silver tickets and a letter to leave, the letter said that he was familiar with Fang Yun at first sight, and hoped that Fang Yun would accept the silver ticket, and if he really didn't want to accept it, he would return it to him after the title of the gold list.

After Fang Yun saw it, he said in his heart, Liu Zicheng is really a gentleman. However, he gave the silver ticket to Yuhuan and asked her to put it away, resolutely not using other people's silver tickets.

How do you know that Yuhuan said that Liu Zicheng seemed to have ulterior motives, but that Fang Yun was furious and reprimanded Yuhuan for spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Later, Liu Zicheng came a few times and gave Fang Yun some books one after another, and the friendship between the two deepened.

Yuhuan said that he didn't like Liu Zicheng twice, but he was reprimanded by Fang Yun, so he never said it again.

Until one day, when Yuhuan went out to buy vegetables, he met a ruffian, and Liu Zicheng happened to pass by, so Liu Zicheng stimulated the strength of Wenbao's "Mountain Pen", and killed more than ten ruffians with a sword, saved Yuhuan, and made Fang Yun grateful.

Just half a month ago, Liu Zicheng talked about Fang Yun's attitude towards Yuhuan, and even pointed out that Fang Yun's family background would only harm Yuhuan.

Fang Yun also felt indebted to Yuhuan, saying that he was sorry for Yuhuan, so even if his relatives kept persuading him, he didn't marry Yuhuan into the cave room, and he swore that he would marry Yuhuan in a beautiful way when he waited for the title of the gold list.

Liu Zicheng asked Fang Yun how sure he was of the test for children, if he wanted to be beautiful, he would at least become a lifter, and how sure he was of becoming a lifter?

Fang Yun was silent.

So, Liu Zicheng said that he was willing to accept Yuhuan as a concubine, and was willing to give a dowry of 2,000 taels of silver.

Fang Yun looked at Liu Zicheng in amazement, but he still didn't realize Liu Zicheng's true purpose.

At this time, Yuhuan walked out and told what had happened.

It turned out that every time Liu Zicheng came, he would deliberately curry favor with Yuhuan, and Yuhuan said that Fang Yun didn't believe it, so Yuhuan designed to lie to Liu Zicheng, saying that as long as he could convince Fang Yun, she would marry Liu Zicheng as a concubine.

Liu Zicheng was scheming, Fang Yun suddenly woke up, scolded Liu Zicheng, and threw the silver tickets and various things given by Liu Zicheng out of the door.

Liu Zicheng was annoyed and ashamed, and threatened Fang Yun that if Fang Yun did not sell Yuhuan to him as a concubine before the county exam, he would make Fang Yun hopeless for the rest of his life.

Fang Yun recalled Liu Zicheng's words.

"Don't be ashamed of your face! My son married Yuhuan as a concubine and wanted to achieve a good story: Liu Zicheng helped the children of the poor family, and the poor scholar entrusted the beautiful boy to raise his daughter-in-law! I have already told my brother that I will marry a beautiful concubine, if he sees it, I can send him, you don't agree now, how can I have the face to see him! If Yuhuan doesn't obey me before the county test, don't blame me for being a black hand! This Jingguo, our Liu family has the final say!"

After Liu Zicheng finished speaking, Fang Yun still can't forget Liu Zicheng's laughter, and he can't forget Yuhuan's words.

"I, Yang Yuhuan, am a member of the Fang family in life, and death is the soul of the Fang family!"

It's just that Yang Yuhuan's eyes hide deep helplessness and sadness, and even a trace of despair.

That Fang Yun was just ashamed and moved, but now that Fang Yun remembered the scene at that time, Yang Yuhuan actually had a kind of tragedy of dying!

Fang Yun felt pain in the back of his head, reached out and touched it, hissed lightly, and was actually broken on the head.

"Since I am alive, Liu Zicheng will definitely continue to take revenge! I can't escape now, the only way is to pass the county examination and become a Tongsheng, with fame and literary position, he will never dare to kill me in Jixian! Tongsheng is only equivalent to a 'reserve talent,' and Xiucai is a basic talent, so the county examination is the easiest, and only the two subjects of 'please holy words' and 'poetry' are examined, and as for 'Jingyi' and 'Strategy', we will wait until later. ”

"The imperial examinations in the Sacred Yuan Continent are different from those in ancient China, but if you come there, you will be safe. ”

Fang Yun thought in his heart, and walked out of the alley, his body was too badly injured, his whole body was in pain, his clothes were also wet, and it was particularly uncomfortable to wear on his body, but he gritted his teeth and insisted.

Walking out of the alley, Fang Yun met an acquaintance, it was Duan Hu, who was working as a partner in the restaurant with him, four or five years older than him.

Fang Yun was about to say hello with a wry smile, but Duan Hu was stunned for a moment, then showed hesitation, lowered his voice and said, "Go home and see, something happened to your family." ”

Duan Hu also wanted to say, but the shopkeeper Zhen at the door of Jixiang Restaurant outside Wuzhang shouted: "Xiaohu, you have itchy skin, go grocery shopping, I'll break your leg when it's late!"

Duan Hu sighed helplessly, made a look at Fang Yun to make him careful, and turned his head to leave.

Fang Yun didn't expect that something had happened to his family, so he didn't care about worrying with Zhen's shopkeeper and sped up his pace.

How do you know that the shopkeeper Zhen gloated and shouted: "I said three years ago that I could buy your Jiangzhou Xishi for you to study, now it's okay, right? Being targeted by the Liu family in Dayuan Mansion, you can't get a penny! There are only two prominent families in our county, and there is no famous family, but the Liu family is a famous family, and they don't spit out bones if they eat people." Look at your injuries, it was done by the Liu family, right?"

The shopkeeper Zhen was wearing a green robe and a black melon skin hat, in his early forties, with a wife and two concubines, and he was mean. Because his surname is the same as the word "needle", the guys in the restaurant privately call him "small needle eye".

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was too thin, Fang Yun stole some meat left over from the guests and wanted to give it to Yang Yuhuan, but was discovered by the shopkeeper Zhen, who snatched the meat and threw it on the ground, stepping on it and kicking it to the dog in the yard.

"I won't give it to the dog!"

Fang Yun still remembers the contemptuous look in the shopkeeper Zhen's eyes when he spoke.

Fang Yun held back his anger and continued to walk forward.

Shopkeeper Zhen said triumphantly: "Do you think I hired you as a buddy because you can do it? It's a pity that the ghost of Yuhuan is obsessed with me, and he has always stayed away from me, so I am angry with you. Since you have offended the famous Liu family, I can't set yourself on fire, you have been fired!"

Fang Yun stopped, turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Zhen coldly, and said, "Then ask Shopkeeper Zhen to settle the rest of the salary." ”

"You have offended the famous Liu family, my restaurant is likely to be angered by the Liu family, I won't let you lose money, you still want to be paid? Get out! You dare to come to my auspicious restaurant again, be careful that I break your dog's legs!" The shopkeeper Zhen glared at Fang Yun viciously.

Fang Yun glared at the shopkeeper Zhen angrily and said, "I remember your words, if you don't pay me today, I will let you repay it a thousand times the day!"

"Poor and sour, don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things!" the shopkeeper Zhen sneered and entered the restaurant.

Fang Yun gritted his teeth all the way and walked quickly, he wanted to go home to see what was going on, and then take the pen and ink to the exam, if he couldn't take the middle school child's exam, Liu Zicheng would start for the second time in three days at most, and he would definitely die at that time!

As long as he is admitted to the Tongsheng, Fang Yun will be safe for the time being, even if Liu Zicheng is a famous family, he will not dare to kill a literate Tongsheng in Jixian County.

Fang Yun didn't care about the eyes of passers-by at all, digesting the newly acquired memories as he walked, and found that there was a big gap between the Shengyuan Continent and ancient China, because of the emergence of talent, coupled with the competition of the ten kingdoms and the demonic tiger's eyes, pragmatism obviously had the upper hand.

For example, the scholars here usually use regular script to write, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and when using "paper talk", they will use simpler cursive to complete it as soon as possible, resulting in the continuous simplification of cursive script for hundreds of years.

The imperial examination system here is also very different, the ancient imperial examination on earth began in the Sui Dynasty, but here it started in the Han Dynasty, seven or eight hundred years in advance, and the imperial examination is not once every three years, but every year.

The area of the Shengyuan Continent is also much larger than that of China, with a full ninety states, and one state is equivalent to a province.

Fang Yun soon discovered that his additional memories not only included the memories of the Shengyuan Continent, but also some of the books he had never read, including such as "The Complete Book of the Ancient Champion Palace", "The Biography of the Spring and Autumn Valley Liang", "Guidebook", "Zhuzi's Five Classics", "Three Character Classics", "All Tang Poems" and so on.
