Chapter 163: Picking up the book

After listening for a while, I saw that the master was just an old man with a decrepit body, and he was no different from the old farmer in the field except that he was a little energetic and knew a little poetry and books. Guan Mingyu turned around and looked at the young students who ran home to eat, and felt that Su Lin here was quite interesting.

The two quarreled, but the allusion was unbelievable, so Yu Fan was obviously much worse in concentration, and he almost put down his arms and spoke with his fists. Less than an hour after entering the cave, there was nothing to do, so Guan Mingyu chose this interesting-looking student and followed.

This Su Lin was about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a green shirt, and his body was quite thin. As he walked, he said: "Tomorrow is the time of the county exam, but unfortunately I am nearly fifteen years old, and I have not yet enlightened my mind, and this county exam is my last chance." ”

He muttered to himself, which made Guan Mingyu slightly stunned. What is Kaizhi, does it involve the cultivation path of the Dao world? But there is too little information, and he can only follow this person.

"My family is poor, although I study hard, but I lack meat to regulate my body, even if I have Sister Yushu to take care of me, my body is not as good as day by day. If I still can't enlighten myself at the age of fifteen, I will have no chance with the scholars at all, and I will be a commoner for the rest of my life unless the saints have mercy. It's a pity, the book is less hated when it is used, and in my identity, this time there is still a gap between the middle and the bad. ”

Hearing this, Guan Mingyu vaguely guessed that the cultivation of this world was related to reading. But what is the situation of the so-called enlightened and noble people, you must seriously understand.

Na Su Lin frowned, and walked step by step to a dilapidated house on the edge of the village.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps in the room, Su Lin took a deep breath, made a smile, and waited until the door creaked open, and a stunning girl in blue coarse cloth clothes opened the door, her bright eyes could not hide the deep bloodshot, and there was a heavy sense of exhaustion between her eyebrows. The moment she opened the door, she smiled slightly and said to Su Lin, "Xiao Su, you're back." ”

Su Lin nodded, walked into the door, watched the beautiful girl gently clean up the sundries in the house, and then took out the dishes and chopsticks and said to Su Lin: "Xiao Su, it's time to eat." ”

Su Lin's eyes were instantly moist, looking at the beautiful girl's faded clothes, and there were two patches on her arm, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's arm: "Sister Yushu." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, stunned as she watched his hand grasping his jade arm like a crisp lotus, the sunset flew all over her cheeks, even the roots of her ears were flushed, and her voice was like a mosquito when she lowered her head: "Xiao Su, what are you doing, you let go of me......"

Su Lin looked at her in a daze, his inner thoughts were surging, looking at her blushing face, and letting go of the beauty. At this time, he said seriously: "Sister Yushu, I'm going to refer to it tomorrow." ”

Yushu didn't dare to look at her, and retracted his arm as if the voice came out of his nose: "Hmm." ”

Su Lin then said: "Sister Yushu, I promise you, even if you don't win tomorrow, I will take you to live a good life, eat the best food, live in the most beautiful house, and wear the most beautiful clothes." ”

Yushu's head was almost buried in her clothes, and she said softly: "Xiao Su, you take the exam hard." I heard my husband say that as long as you play normally, there is still a lot of hope in high school. ”

Her voice was lower: "Even if you don't hit, it's not a big deal, I've been here for so many years, I'm very happy when you say this." Then she turned around without looking back, and a voice like a yellow bird came: "You eat, I'll go and add food." ”

Su Lin looked at her back as if she was running away, laughed softly, and the two quickly ate breakfast.

Just when Su Lin thought that such a warm scene could last until the end of the day, there was a complicated sound of footsteps at the door, and a woman in an exaggerated red robe pushed open the door and walked in, and said in a strange voice: "Yo, Su Lin's nephew, are you eating?" Behind her, two big men stood by the door, like door gods.

Su Lin sighed, gently put down his chopsticks, and said to the woman, "My aunt is here today, I don't know what to order?"

The woman walked proudly to the table, and then said, "It's nothing, it's just that my nephew is about to try, and I want to make up for you." ”

As soon as she clapped her hand, the big man standing on the side stepped forward and handed over a stack of plates, covered with a red cloth. With a sneer on her face, she stretched out her hand to uncover the red cloth, and suddenly, ten ingots of silver were neatly placed on the plate. She took the plate and was about to hand it to Surin.

Su Lin shook his head and said helplessly: "Auntie, let's take it back, I won't agree to this matter." Behind him, the girl looked angry, but she held back.

The woman was not angry, but smiled more earnestly: "I said nephew, you should go to the Yu family." That's a full fifty taels of silver, as long as you nod your head, these fifty taels of silver are yours. ”

Su Lin looked at her seriously, and then said, "Fan Shao can't wait for a day or two?" Seeing that the woman was about to answer, he interrupted the woman and said, "Auntie, you go back and tell Fan Shao, this matter will be known in a few days." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Nephew, this is fifty taels of silver, how many families have worked hard to save a lifetime, and they can't save fifty taels of silver, are you willing to give up?"

Su Lin shook his head: "The reason why Fan Shao opened such a high price is not because I will try it in the county tomorrow." If my county had tried, he would have given one hundred taels, and two hundred taels would not be enough. ”

He continued: "You go back and tell Yu Fan, if I can't pass the exam and lose my status as a scholar, then naturally everything will be stopped." If I get in, it's over. If Young Master Yu wants it now but I win it, he won't be afraid that I will hate him?"

When she heard this, the woman held back her words in her heart, and she wanted to say them, but she could not say them. She looked at Su Lin, and always felt that today's Su Lin was different from before, although he was stubborn before, he was not as calm as he is now, and he always felt that he had changed after not seeing him for a few days. Thinking of this, she decided to go back and report first and see what Young Master Yu had to say.

So she smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go and report to Young Master Gao." ”

With that, she put away her plate and turned to go out. The moment she stepped out of the threshold, she turned around and asked, "I didn't expect you to be a seed of infatuation." ”

Surin shook his head: "You think she's a domestic servant, but to me, she's the whole world. ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then beckoned and walked out with the two big men.

Only then did Su Lin look at the jade book next to him, who was already red-eyed: "Sister Yushu." ”

When he screamed, Yushu's tears flowed down instantly: "Xiao Su, if you can't try it in the county, let's leave here." With the style of the Yu family, if you can't try it in the county, you will definitely be taken off the status of the scholars, and then we will be mermaids. Leaving here, we go to another country and live incognito for the rest of our lives. ”

She wiped away her tears, her eyes were red, and she said word by word.

Su Lin shook his head: "Sister Yushu, if we leave here, we are homeless people, and after military service, we may not even be able to save our lives." So we can't go, and if we go, there will be no future at all. ”

Yushu's blue clothes were already soaked: "Then what should we do? If we don't leave, we will definitely not be able to fight at home." She suddenly relented, looked at Su Lin and said, "Xiao Su, I was born as a member of the Su family, and I died as a ghost of the Su family." ”

Su Lin was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned red instantly, he held back his tears, and reached out to grab Yushu's fingers: "Sister Yushu, I will definitely pass the exam, I said, I will take you to eat the best food, live in the most beautiful house, and wear the most beautiful clothes." ”

His voice was like a choked voice, word by word: "I, Su Lin, do what I say." ”

Yushu smiled and wiped away the tears on his face: "Well, let's eat, I believe in you." After speaking, she picked up the chopsticks, as if convincing herself, as if instinctively picking up the rice into her mouth.

After eating, Su Lin packed his luggage and walked towards Mr. Lu again.

Mr. Lu is just a showman, he makes a living by teaching, occasionally writes couplets to the surrounding landlords and businessmen, and lives a very hard life. Sujiawan is a fertile land in Ji County, and it is also regarded as a gathering of Wenhua, and every village has a reputation for showing talents, and Mr. Lu is one of the talents.

Mr. Lu treats people gently, but he treats students harshly and demandingly, and many students are miserable. But from this point of view, Mr. Lu's students are also the most talented, and in the past 20 years, there have been two students who have won the fame of showing off their talents, and they have talent, and they are like knives.

As he walked, Surin thought about these things. I was beaten a few days ago, and needless to say, I knew that it was the Yu family's hand, but unfortunately I was of course not cautious and didn't get the slightest evidence. Now in broad daylight, with his own status as a scholar, the Yu family has no way to take it personally, and he doesn't dare to make a big move, so he is wearing a tiger skin.

However, the five countries on the mainland all have regulations that if you are not wise and talented at the age of fifteen, you are not allowed to be the patriarch of the scholar clan. But if he is not a member of the Shi clan, he will be completely out of the aura of the Shi clan, and I am afraid that he will not even know how to die at that time.

In the past ten days, in addition to recuperating from his injuries, he is thinking about his deeds and deeds in the past ten years, and he has finally gained, but the accumulation of knowledge has not increased much.

It's just that before the jade is written, you must swear an oath. And in secret, he has already rolled up the fine softness, once there is disharmony, whether he is a homeless or not, it is important to save his life.

Thinking so, he soon passed through several neighbors and came to the woods. Passing through this grove is Mr. Lu's private school.

He thought blankly all the way, suddenly felt a pain in his feet, ouched, and squatted down with his feet grinning. Fortunately, the kick didn't hurt, and after a little relief, he got up again and looked at the culprit who caused his kick.

He was stunned when he saw it, it was a very delicate book, the cover was painted with the same delicate plum blossoms, and the convex three-dimensional sense was even more distinct.

What kind of book is this? He bent down to pick it up, and was about to open it, when he saw it disappear in a flash of light, and his head ached, and he fell to the ground.
