Chapter 165: The Gambling Contract
As soon as it was dark the next day, Yushu had already made breakfast and rolled two cakes as dry food, ready to leave them for Su Lin to eat in the exam.
She thought in her heart that if Su Lin failed the exam again, he would be deprived of his status as a scholar. Not to mention the current stable life, I'm afraid the two of them will even have problems saving their lives.
Her face flushed, remembering what Su Lin said yesterday, and said to herself in her heart: "Yushu, may your heart be like my heart, and I will live up to my love." She heard this poem from a lady in the house, so she fell in love with it.
After being shy for a while, she patted her cheek, trying to lighten her blush, and then knocked on Surin's house with a basin and told him to get up for breakfast, while she went to pack Surin's luggage and pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Now that it was just dawn, the two of them were already sitting on the ox cart and heading towards the county seat.
Sitting staggering on the ox cart of Uncle Wang in the village, Yushu said to Su Lin, who was unusually quiet: "Xiao Su, the county test is not a dead end, even if you don't succeed this time, you can return to the ranks of the scholars in the future." ”
Su Lin nodded seriously but calmly: "Don't worry, Sister Yushu, I will definitely be able to go to high school this time." His tone was categorical, with unhesitating confidence.
Yang Yushu looked at him in a daze, as if he hadn't seen him all night, and the sadness that had been hidden between his eyebrows completely disappeared, leaving only the self-confident and self-reliant man in front of him.
He turned his head to look at Yang Yushu: "When I am in high school, it will be time for you to enjoy your happiness." ”
Yang Yushu was speechless, only nodding fiercely.
On the other side, Su Lin had already sunk his mind into the Zhihai again, looking at the exquisite wordless heavenly book. As soon as his consciousness moved, the handwriting on the book was clearly visible, and it turned into a "Shangshu Zhang" by Lu Zigan, a great Confucian of the previous dynasty
He laughed wildly in his heart: "So that's the case, no wonder I dare to call it "Confucianism and Taoism", it turns out that as long as I want to, all the famous Confucianism and Taoism throughout the ages can be displayed." ”
"With my background, even if I was a child, I don't have that much financial resources to buy classics. Even if having a book in my body can increase my memory and comprehension, not having a book source is like water without roots for me, and no matter how much I develop, there is a limit. But now, with this Confucianism and Taoism Sacred Text, all the classics are not a dream for me, and even many famous texts that were lost hundreds of years ago can be easily obtained. ”
"I am familiar with 300 ancient poems, and I can't write and chant. In my situation, as long as I read through these ancient poems, I can figure out the truth step by step, and it is not the end for me to be a scholar, a scholar, a Hanlin or even a great Confucian. Maybe one day, all countries will pay tribute to me as Su Sheng. ”
In the depths of Yang Yushu's heart, which Yang Yushu could not see, Su Lin had already imagined that he had achieved great Confucianism, and was regarded as the most promising talent of the Central Plains Five Kingdoms to become a semi-saint, and even the emperors of the Five Kingdoms had to be called Mr. Su when he saw him.
Fortunately, he still barely remembered that he was going to take the county exam today, and after taking a few deep breaths, he reluctantly sat down and looked at the various classic ancient books in the wordless heavenly book.
Behind him, Guan Mingyu was lying on the trunk of an ancient tree.
He pursed his lips, and knew from Su Lin's mouth that there was a concept of force value of "talent" in this world, and talent was obtained through writing books, narratives, poems, etc., but the literary position could only pass the formal imperial examination, so he rushed to the county school, and after going through the miscellaneous classics of the county school, he finally sorted out the literary level of this world.
Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, Bachelor, Hanlin, Da Confucian, followed by the semi-saint and the sub-saint, and the legendary sage Confucius. Yasheng only had two, one was Mencius and the other was Zisi.
Nowadays, the five countries of the Central Plains are founded by "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith", and the Chen State where Su Lin is located is founded with "wisdom", and there is a rumored "Hong Sheng" who is 160 years old to suppress it.
Only after enlightenment, students with academic degrees can obtain the source of talent from the temple, and then continue to brew to achieve breakthroughs. After enlightening one's wisdom, one can convert the talent in the book into the Great Wall, and the talent of a brick is a basic unit.
And only when a student becomes a talent can he have a chance to enter the "temple" and be blessed and baptized by all the saints.
Guan Mingyu was instantly happy, thinking that the temple was one of the most important nodes in this world. However, the opening of the temple can only be entered when all the saints open the holy judgment together, out of caution, after a little analogy with the power of this world, Guan Mingyu decided to enter by trick.
He pursed his lips, this routine seemed to be very familiar, so he packaged and copied all the classics in the county school, turned it into a wordless heavenly book, and then went to Fuxue to do the same trick.
Then, due to the distance, he stopped collecting classics and literature, and rubbed all of them on this tall and wordless heavenly book made of 100 cause and effect points, and began the journey of teaching (transmitting) and transforming (selling) the world.
And this tall dress did not live up to his expectations, and finally corrected (crooked) Su Lin's learning attitude, especially the sentence "Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth", which was even more joyful.
His goal is to use Surin as a spare tire, ready to find a way to try his luck in the temple, and if not, let Surin be the leading party.
At this time, he waited early on the side of the road where Su Lin was going to the county seat, and watched boredly as the two of them slowly drove by in an ox cart.
He was suddenly stunned and scolded: "I'll go, how can this kid pick out the lost ancient books, don't I need money for my causal points?" He grinned, fortunately, the cost of causal points is not large, otherwise he would have worked hard to make the wordless book exposed, and it would be impossible for him to brush it like this.
In the ox cart on the other side, Su Lin looked at the ancient lost saint's book "Persuasion of Half of Learning" on the wordless heavenly book, and laughed in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a holy scripture, and even such lost classical classics are available, which is destined for me to become a great Confucian, and prove to be a half-saint!"
Guan Mingyu looked at the system that was already missing two hundred and twenty points: "Zheng Nima B......
Sujiawan is fertile and beautiful, only seven or eight miles away from the county seat, and soon arrived at the entrance of the county seat. At this time, Su Lin, who had already been immersed (crazy) and immersed (demon), came back to his senses, and the two jumped off the ox cart together, seeing that the neighbors had begun to enter the city, the two looked at each other and walked to the city gate together.
Because it was the day of the county test, Ji County opened the city gate half an hour earlier than usual. On such an important day, neither the soldiers defending the city nor the people entering the city deliberately stirred up trouble, and it was soon the turn of the two. After some inspection, Su Lin and Yang Yushu walked into the city.
Ji County is not big, there are only 7,000 households in the county, only in the middle of the county, there are 30 children every year. There are less than 2,000 households in the city, and the rest are mostly distributed in a few townships. For example, Sujiawan gathers more than 600 families, and it is a well-known fertile place in Danzhou Prefecture. The 2,000 households in the city are divided into four main streets, and the county school tribute institute is not far from the side, and the two are only half a mile apart.
As the exam approaches, young students have poured into the county, and it is rumored that there are more than 500 people who have signed up this year, but only 30 people have been admitted, a full 20 out of 1, no matter who is quite stressed. Su Lin and Yang Yushu walked through a few alleys and came to the front of the Gongyuan, and what they saw were hundreds of heavy faces.
But coincidentally, there are people of faith everywhere. They may be talented, they may be in a good state of mind, or they may have been promised by some big people, so they are talking about it. As soon as Su Lin walked over, a group of people looked to him that it was the young man who was in the family.
The Yu family started as a businessman, it is one of the three families in the county, this is located in the family is even more extraordinary, it is very likely to turn this businessman's home into a poetry and book heirloom, and when the time comes, with the title of the scholar, I am afraid it is the first in the county, so it is the center of the people. He is very knowledgeable and wealthy, and of course he is the object of everyone's attention.
But as soon as Surin entered, he stopped talking to the others and looked at Surin.
Yu Fan stepped forward and smiled on his round face: "Isn't this Brother Su Xian, is your body better today?" He then turned to look at Yang Yushu, "Isn't this your sister Danzhou Xi Shi Yushu?" I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Hearing his banter, a group of dogs next to him began to laugh: "Brother Su Xian, you have poor health, why don't you let Miss Yang go to Yu's house to enjoy happiness?"
"Yes, Brother Su Xian, if you can't go to high school, if you don't have the status of a scholar, it will be your turn to do military service, and you can't bear Miss Yang's life. ”
Yang Yushu's face was angry, and he was about to refute, when he saw Su Lin's hand stretched out in front of him and stopped himself who was about to step forward to theorize. He shook his head and looked at the chubby Yu family: "Yu Fan, didn't my aunt bring you a message?"
Yu Fan laughed: "Naturally, what you said makes so much sense." ”
He paused and said, "Why don't we make a bet?"
Su Lin said expressionlessly: "What kind of gambling method?"
Yu Fan glanced at Yang Yushu and said with a smile: "We are all readers, so naturally we must have the methods of readers." In this case, let's take this prefectural test as a bet. If you are higher than me, then everything is not mentioned. If you lose, then promise me that condition. ”
Su Lin shook his head: "It's not fair, if I lose, I need to pay, if you lose, you don't need anything." Well, give me the book that your father bought for you, and it's your bet. ”
Yu Fan's face changed, and his voice instantly became cold: "Su Lin, are you sure?"
Su Lin nodded and stopped Yang Yushu, who was about to speak: "Naturally." ”
Yu Fan sneered twice, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Good, good." Then I'll see if you have the ability to take it. After saying that, he waved his sleeve robe fiercely and walked towards the tribute courtyard. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he turned around and said to Su Lin word by word, "Su Lin, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, there are some things that you shouldn't take, and it will be hot to get them." ”
He shook his hand fiercely, turned around and walked into the resting place at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard.
