After resting all night, Yunzhu saw that Ji Han's injury was okay the next morning, so he took out Ji Han's basket (book basket), and then helped Ji Han out of the yard.

rented an ox cart, Ji Han sat inside, Yun Zhu sat outside the carport, whipped the cow pulling the cart gently, the ox barked, and pulled Ji Han and Yun Zhu to the Yuxian Confucian Temple.

The Temple of Literature is the place where scholars take exams, while those who practice martial arts take exams in the martial arts, and those who practice the way of instruments take exams in the pavilion.

Sitting in the carport, Ji Han looked at Yun Zhu who was sitting outside, because of accompanying Ji Han for the exam, Yun Zhu deliberately changed his clothes, and at this time it looked like Yun Zhu was more beautiful and moving than yesterday.

Suddenly, Ji Han saw the jade bracelet on Yun Zhu's wrist that had cracked, and immediately felt a sour feeling in his heart, because he looked at Yun Zhu's whole body, there was only this one piece of jewelry, and the hairpin that fixed his hair was made by Yun Zhu himself with bamboo, and it was not called jewelry at all.

With his thoughts flying, Ji Han recalled the relationship between him and Yunzhu.

When Ji Han was very young, his mother died, and his father was a child at the time, and on the way back from the examination for Xiucai's literary name, he bought Yunzhu.

A few years later, the only meritorious father in the family also died of illness, and because of the medical treatment, almost all of the family's continuation was spent.

After the death of his parents, Ji Han and Yunzhu depended on each other, and Yunzhu, who was younger than Ji Han, took on the burden of the family from that time and began to take care of Ji Han as an older sister.

That year, Ji Han was thirteen years old and Yunzhu was twelve years old.

A few years have passed in the blink of an eye, during which Ji Han has done a lot of work, but because of his weak physique, he finally had to do a chores in Fumanlou, and Yunzhu helped the neighbors to do some trivial things to maintain the family's expenses.

During this period, many big families saw that Yunzhu was beautiful and wanted to adopt Yunzhu, but Yunzhu refused, because these people just adopted her, but they never mentioned Ji Han, in Yunzhu's heart, Ji Han was the most important, so she rejected many large families nearby.

Ji Han remembers very clearly that Yunzhu has kept all the delicious food for himself over the years, even the green vegetables for every meal, most of the time Yunzhu just uses vegetable soup for bibimbap, and occasionally improves the food, and Yunzhu eats the rest of his own.

Thinking of this, Ji Han felt a tingling of guilt in his heart, and he couldn't help but hold Yunzhu's little hand.

Yunzhu is beautiful, but a pair of hands is very rough, Ji Hanjue's Yunzhu's hands are not as smooth as his own, if you just look at these hands, absolutely no one can associate them with the beautiful Yunzhu.

But these rough and somewhat swollen hands are indeed the most beautiful hands in the world in Ji Han's eyes at this time.

Because of these hands, the whole family is supported.

"Childe, do you remember what you said?"

Yun Zhu watched Ji Han hold her hand, her pretty face flushed a little, and then she looked at Ji Han with clear, autumn-like eyes and said.

Ji Han was a little stunned by Yun Zhu's glance back, and it wasn't until Yun Zhu's voice fell for a while that Ji Han came to his senses and said, "Of course I remember, when I get the Tongsheng literary name, I will definitely buy a hairpin and give it to you!" ”

"Children are not good at taking the test, so don't have too much pressure on your son." Yun Zhu smiled happily when he heard this, his moving eyes were curved like crescent moons, and he comforted Ji Han in a very happy tone.

In Yunzhu's heart, it doesn't matter if Ji Han doesn't get fame in the exam, as long as Ji Han is safe and sound.

When Ji Han heard this, his heart warmed again and said: "This time I will definitely buy a hairpin, whether I have a child in the examination or not." ”

"A hairpin can be ......" Yun Zhu was about to stop it after hearing this, but Ji Han sealed his mouth with his index finger.

Feeling the softness/softness of his index finger, Ji Han's heart suddenly jumped a little wildly: "If I can't buy you a hairpin, I won't think about it in the future!" ”

Yun Zhu looked at Ji Han in front of him, and said in a somewhat worried tone: "Childe, why do you seem to have changed as a person?" ”

Ji Han sighed and said, "I've been living in a mess before, this time I was woken up, from this moment on, I won't let you suffer again!" ”

The ox pulled the ox cart, and along the way, Ji Han and Yun Zhu talked, from a long time ago to recently, Ji Han and Yun Zhu talked over and over again.

It was the first time for Yunzhu to talk to Ji Han so freely, so Yunzhu showed a happy and touching smile many times along the way.

In Yunzhu's impression, Ji Han shouldn't remember so many things, but when she heard Ji Han say the things that Ji Han couldn't remember in her opinion, Yunzhu's heart was full of happiness and emotion.

After a long time, I arrived at the Temple of Literature.

After getting off the ox cart, Ji Han found that the Temple of Literature was densely packed with people.

There are children of a few years old, and there are also gray-haired old men, and after a cursory look, Ji Han conservatively estimated that there were thousands of people.

On both sides of the Temple of Literature, there are martial arts halls and instrument pavilions.

The number of people outside these two places is twice as many as in the Temple of Literature.

In Xuanguo, there are the most people who practice martial arts, the number of people who practice the Tao of Instruments, and the number of people who read the least.

The reason for this is that martial arts and instrument skills are easy to get started, while bundo is notoriously difficult to get started.

As long as you have some talent, you can learn martial arts refining weapons, but reading is not an overnight thing, not only must you read persistently, but also memorize the content of many books, which is more difficult than people who practice martial arts with a strong body, and people who rely on experience to accumulate refining weapons.

Many scholars, some of them have spent their entire lives, and they have not obtained the literary name of a child, but as long as they have studied martial arts or refining weapons for more than ten years, no matter how bad they are, they can mix with the lowest-end martial arts or the beginner realm of the instrument path, and find a job with a very good salary, so in addition to the rich and noble families, most of the children of ordinary people are walking martial arts or instrument paths.

Like Ji Han, who is poor and still walks the literary road, there are too few and too little, and many ordinary people will despise the poor for this reason, because you can be poor, but if you are ignorant, you can't do it, and if you are poor, you will choose the path taken by the poor, rather than insisting on taking the literary path that the poor are not suitable for.

"Today, you have merit in the Tongsheng exam, and after the exam, we will have a good meal!"

Yun Zhu walked up to Ji Han and said softly.

Ji Han nodded and said, "Well, buy a chicken, add two taels of wine, and let's have a good meal when we go back!" ”

Yun Zhu smiled and said, "You are in charge of this family, I will listen to you!" ”

When Ji Han heard this, he immediately involuntarily held Yunzhu's hand, the situation in the house Ji Han was clear, if he really bought wine and chicken, then he really had to drink the northwest wind and go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables in the future, he said that buying wine and buying chickens was just casually talking, but what he didn't expect was that Yunzhu agreed without hesitation.

Ji Han knew very well that Yun Zhu agreed in order not to hurt his self-esteem, because in a family like their situation, eating like this was simply a ruined behavior, but Yun Zhu still agreed without hesitation in order not to embarrass him, for fear that Ji Han's confidence would be frustrated.

Looking at Yunzhu in front of him, who was not only beautiful, but also extremely well-behaved and sensible, Ji Han secretly swore in his heart: "Hearing me say this, she will definitely feel that she is more tired and makes more money, such a woman who treats me wholeheartedly, I must not live up to it no matter what, even if it is not on the list this time, I will use other methods to stop her from suffering a little and lose weight!" ”

Yunzhu didn't know what Ji Han was thinking at this time, but took out the vegetable bun she had prepared from the basket and handed it to Ji Han.

"It's still a little warm, so let's eat it while it's hot!"

Ji Han took the bun, but he didn't put it in his mouth, but broke it in half and said, "It's fragrant for two people to eat." ”

Yunzhu hurriedly refused: "I have a lot of steam, I will eat it when you go to the exam, you hurry up and eat it while it is hot." ”

"If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either." Ji Han knew that Yunzhu was deceiving himself, so he said in a resolute tone.

Yunzhu saw that Ji Han was extremely resolute, and suddenly understood Ji Han's intentions in his heart, and immediately a pair of beautiful eyes were slightly red.

After eating the steamed buns, Ji Han let Yunzhu rest on the ox cart, and then went to the queue outside the Confucian Temple.

The queue outside the Temple of Literature was very long, but everyone lined up in an orderly manner, so the speed of entering the Temple of Literature was very fast.

"Look over there, that is known as the smartest child in the county, and at a young age, he made poems out of the county!"

"See, this kid is really a prodigy, less than eleven years old, he actually made poems out of the county, this time the county's Confucian Temple assessment, it is estimated that the head of the county is likely to be him."

"The head of the case is too exaggerated, but it must be a sure thing that he will be admitted to Tongsheng."

Lining up, Ji Han heard several literati around him who were preparing to take the exam discuss.

Looking in the direction pointed by several people, Ji Han saw that not far from the team, a child of about eleven or twelve years old was looking around with contemptuous eyes, and beside this child, there were two servants, at this time, the two servants were carrying a basket on their backs, and the other was helping the child carry food.

After a little recollection, Ji Han knew the identity of this child.

This child's name is Qian Tong, the little son of Qian Mansion in Yuxian County, and the half-brother of Qian Xiongzheng.

Qian Mansion is one of the big families in Yu County, and the head of Qian Mansion has four wives and concubines, but only two sons, namely Qian Xiongzheng and Qian Tong.

However, although Qian Xiongzheng and Qian Tong are brothers, they have taken different paths.

Qian Xiong is walking the martial arts, but Qian Tong is walking the literary road.

And in Qian Mansion, although Qian Xiongzheng is the eldest son, he is far less favored than Qian Tong, because Qian Tong made poems out of the county at a young age, and he can be described as a celebrity in the entire Yu County.

In Xuanguo and the entire human country, the hierarchy of poetry can be divided into out of the county, Dafu, Mingzhou, etc.

Qian Tong made poems out of the county at a young age, and he can be said to be the first person in the entire Yuxian County in the past ten years, so the Qian Mansion and the county magistrate of Yuxian County have high hopes for Qian Tong, hoping that he will stand out in the examination of the Confucian Temple and become the head of the Tongsheng case in Yuxian County.

The head of the child case is the first person among all the children in Yu County.

Thoughts drifted back, Ji Han was not thinking about Qian Tong, but began to review the ancient books he had read when compiling the library, as for the honor of the head of the case, Ji Han did not think about taking it, he just wanted to obtain the literary position of Tong Sheng, and then obtain the power of the stars to get rid of the evil diseases in the body for Yunzhu.

Soon, it was Ji Han's turn to enter.

The person in charge of reviewing the entry into the Confucian Temple was a middle-aged man, and at this time he looked Ji Han up and down, and then said, "Entering the temple documents." ”

The document of entering the temple is a kind of common document that everyone who takes the examination must carry, which is issued after the approval of the county government, and is the voucher of every person who participates in the examination.
