Lu Changyuan was a little puzzled, but he still patiently explained: "Of course, passing the spring examination is only to obtain the qualification to enter the county academy to participate in the second round of the examination. The second round of re-examination is to stimulate the inner shrine, conceive the runes, and evaluate the child. If the activation and conception fail, it is not a child's talent, and it will have to be tested again next year. ”

Everyone nodded, and that Huang Shihong was even more ashamed and said: "I can't even pass the first round of spring exams......"

Lu Changyuan patted Huang Shihong's shoulder and comforted him, and laughed at himself: "Who here is not?"

He went on to explain: "However, if there is a talent in the heavens who excite the Inner Divine Palace on their own and give birth to any rune in advance, then they can be naturalized without the spring examination and enter the ranks of children." Children can live in the county school, read the books and classics for free, and lead the life on time, just like Chen Dafutang, and make steady progress......"

Hearing the name Chen Dafutang, the rest of the people showed envy and said in unison: "Chen Dafutang is a model for the literati of Chu State such as us, and the object of emulation!"

Yue Heng knew in his heart, this divine palace and the runes were the most critical place, but it was quite difficult to obtain, and the literati were hard to come by, wasn't it just for these fames?

It is impossible for the other poor students here to know too much, so it seems that they can only ask this Lu Changyuan later.

"Since everybody knows, I'll say it. As the saying goes, if you are familiar with 300 poems, you can't compose poems and chant poems, well, that's the truth, as long as you read more books, you will naturally pass this spring exam, don't I, how many times have I taken the exam? Four times, or five times? Oh, so many so many that I can't remember clearly......

Yue Heng's mouth was full of flickering, looking at these guys thoughtfully, and he smiled secretly in his heart.

"Brother Yue has taken the exam four times, and he has improved every time. ”

Lu Changyuan laughed, but then he sighed: "I am familiar with 300 poems, I can't compose poems and can chant them...... there are not as many as 300 poems, I know that Brother Yue refers to a large number of documents." It's a pity that we poor people can't afford to buy too many documents and classics, how can we do this?"

"Hard, hard, hard!"

The rest of the students also shook their heads and sighed, their faces full of sadness.

"How can there not be three hundred poems in the Book of Songs? How can I remember that there is?" Yue Heng was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't think deeply about this question, he still felt sad, this kind of dilemma of a poor student could be seen from himself, and he couldn't even afford incense.

But he soon had doubts again, and the articles were not expensive to print, so why were there no booksellers to sell them in large quantities?

If all the scholars in the world can read the classics, then the number of literati must not skyrocket!

There must be a reason why he doesn't know here!

It was also late at night, and the rest of the poor students said goodbye and went back to the house to rest, leaving only Lu Changyuan and Yue Heng to chat speculatively and talk freely.

Yue Heng just complimented Lu Changyuan for being well-informed, and continued to inquire and ask, "Brother Lu, how did you say that those Heavenly Vertical Talents activated the Divine Palace in advance and gave birth to the runes?"

Lu Changyuan said with a smile: "Brother Yue, don't be delusional when I wait for the children of the Han Sect! You must know that although there are many poems and texts in the world, only a small number can resonate with the tortoiseshell runes created by Emperor Fuxi. Those geniuses of heaven and nature are all accidental to read strange texts, or with the help of external forces in the family, there are three necessary conditions of 'resonance text', 'immersive' and 'heart path', plus some external forces and 'chances', the runes can be born, the first time it will activate the divine palace, and the second time it will expand ......"

Yue Heng didn't understand too much when he heard it, and wanted to ask a few more words, but he saw Xiao Er walking quickly and said respectfully: "Master Yue, there is a young lady outside the door who asks to see you." ”

"Is there a young lady looking for me?" Yue Heng's first reaction was to cry and laugh, he was a poor scholar, he couldn't even eat enough, how could he afford to pay for prostitution, which young lady did he know?

Lu Changyuan laughed strangely, pointed at Yue Heng and shook his head: "Brother Yue is really hidden, he must have made excellent poems and essays to be appreciated, and people specially cheered for him before the exam." Tell me, which lady is beautiful, how is her appearance, and how much is her style?"

Oh, that's what this lady meant......

Yue Heng's face flushed, he was still not used to this world.

Originally, Miss Tianyou was looking for him so late, he would definitely be suspicious, but when Lu Changyuan said this, he was a little itchy again, could it be that this Yue Heng really wrote any good articles before starving to death, so as to make the beauties smile and gain appreciation?

It's also possible that he passed the first round of spring exams last year and lost in the second round of activation, and after this year of preparation, maybe a miracle happened!

"The spring night is cold, Brother Yue, go quickly, don't let the beauty wait for a long time. The boudoir woman is embarrassed to see each other in the daytime, so she can only pay a secret visit late at night, ha! If Brother Yue is a high school boy this year, and he returns with a beauty, he will definitely achieve a good story of the literati! After coming back, Brother Yue must tell his brother about his new work, and he will follow suit!"

Lu Changyuan pushed Yue Heng, and looked at Nunu outside the side door of the restaurant, and Xiao Er, who was standing on the side, also pursed his lips and snickered.

Yue Heng's face was full of embarrassment, but there were some apprehensions and expectations in his heart, he followed Xiao Er's guidance to the side door, and really saw a slender and thin vague figure standing outside the alley, and his heart was happy.

He quietly straightened the old robe on his body, and then walked over steadily, but before he had taken a few steps, his eyes suddenly went black, a black bag covered his head, and then a storm of punches and kicks, his thin body was not vulnerable at all, and soon passed out in pain.

For a long time, Yue Heng hadn't come back yet, Xiao Er yawned all the time, Lu Changyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong, he frowned slightly, walked slowly to the side door, looked over, but saw a scene that surprised him.

“...... Murder ......"

“...... Report to the official ......"

“...... People aren't dead yet...... Hurry up and bring it in......"

“...... Brother Huang...... Help......"

Yue Heng's turbid consciousness could only sense these, he was in severe pain all over his body at this time, especially his right arm, the pain was extremely painful, and the soft tissues of his whole body were estimated to have been seriously injured, after hearing these sounds, he passed out again.

Some of the guests were awakened by Lu Changyuan's shouts, and they pushed open the windows to watch the excitement.

Huang Shihong's group of poor students ran out without even dressing neatly, Lu Changyuan called Huang Shihong, and the two of them raised their heads and raised their feet, wanting to carry Yue Heng into the restaurant.

"Slow!"

The bookkeeper and the cook of the restaurant also rushed over, and the bookkeeper stopped the person and shouted tremblingly: "This person is seriously injured and cannot be carried in!"

The account office is afraid that people will die in the restaurant, and they don't want to cause trouble.

Lu Changyuan immediately understood, and shouted angrily: "It's not that you yourself colluded with the bandits and got Yue Heng to come out, which caused him to be seriously injured?"

Xiao Er was frightened, and hurriedly explained: "I really saw the appearance of a woman, how could it be that I colluded with bandits? I have just finished the martial arts conscription exam these days, and there are groups of drunk martial artists who have failed the list every night, maybe they did it!"

Lu Changyuan didn't listen to the explanation, and said angrily: "The truth of the matter needs to be verified, but you still want to shirk the blame from Drunken Immortal Tower, then you will definitely not be able to escape the suspicion of gangsters! Get out of the way, I want to carry it in!"

"Wait!"

The cook and his subordinates stopped him, and they resolutely refused to give way without the order of the bookkeeper.

Such a stalemate is not a thing, the restaurant party quickly agreed, and the bookkeeper leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Lu Gongzi, listen to my analysis, do you have the money to treat him? Do you have a relationship to seek help from the government? What is his relationship with you, is it worth offending you all? You can save this person for a while, can you save him for a lifetime? The spring examination is important, and it can't be delayed!"

"This ......"

Every time Mr. Accounts asked, Lu Changyuan tied a knot in his heart, Yue Heng should have been seriously injured in his body, he didn't die at this time, and he didn't know how long he could live, even if he called Lingbao to save his life tonight, who would take care of him tomorrow?

In case Yue Heng becomes a wasted person, who will take care of it in this life?

Everyone is a poor family, no one has money, who will bear the unknown amount of medical expenses?

"I am also a poor student, I can't see death without saving ......"

Lu Changyuan said this very unconfidently, and he retreated, and he was looking for the bottom of the stairs.

The bookkeeper rolled his eyes and said quickly: "There is an idle firewood house nearby to house him, I will spend a few taels of silver to help with personal affairs, and hand it over to the government tomorrow, and they will decide it! And I will take care of everything, and it will definitely not affect you in the spring examination the day after tomorrow, otherwise you really have to go to court as a witness, won't you waste your time in vain and delay the opportunity for this spring examination?"

"This ......"

Lu Changyuan and Huang Shihong hesitated, everyone and Yue Heng were just one side, and they just chatted a few words, even Lu Changyuan only knew each other at most, if he really stood up for him, it was really not worth it if everyone delayed the spring exam.

"Carry it away, go to the firewood room!"

Seeing that the students gave in, Mr. Bookkeeper quickly commanded, and everyone carried Yue Heng to the remote firewood room in a panic, leaving Xiao Er and Lu Changyuan to guard, and the other residents went back to sleep when they saw that it was none of their business, and this disaster seemed to fade away.

This happened in the middle of the night, no one reported to the official, no one asked the spiritual doctor to save people, it really responded to the words of Mr. Ledger, everyone is just doing their best, anyway, he is just a literati that no one pays attention to!

Waiting for the cook to bring the life-saving decoction and feed Yue Heng with difficulty, the three of them didn't say anything, and they didn't care whether Yue Heng would die in the middle of the night, they each slipped away quietly after pulling their heads, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

Before the spring exam, it was still winter, the firewood room was ventilated, and the icy cold wind poured in, and Yue Heng, who had no one to take care of, lay in the pile of tattered clothes, waiting for death.

He was still woken up by pain, and the bowl of life-saving potion worked to awaken him temporarily, but the pain that pierced his heart made him almost unbearable, and he tried to open his eyes, see his surroundings, and know what was going on on a little thought.

"I've only just come through the day...... This damn indifferent world...... Am I going to die again? No, I can't bear such humiliation, I have to live...... But I ......"

The pain of the broken arm started again, Yue Heng knew that his arm was afraid that it would be useless, and under the anger and hatred, he clearly recalled the sound he heard when he was beaten, it was the guy called Shun Monkey, kicking and beating him, while shouting to prevent him from seeing the sun tomorrow.

The severe pain in his arm was also caused by this monkey, maybe it was an iron rod, and the purpose of these people was to break his arm so that he could not take the spring exam!

"Save your life first...... Wait for Lao Tzu to recover from his injuries and then settle accounts with you......"

Yue Heng could only think of this, but how could he have any way to save his life?

The previous one was starved to death at home before he was crossed, and he didn't have any money on him, how could he save his life?

"Are literati really waste? No...... I am a literati, I can still become a child, and the government will definitely do its best to treat me, so that I can have the possibility of living and have a chance of revenge...... Lu Changyuan said that to activate the Divine Palace, you need 'resonant text', 'immersive', and 'heart path'...... I know a lot of poetry, and I'm in a desperate situation right now, no matter how likely it is, I have to give it a try!"

Yue Heng quickly searched in his heart, he had been forced to die at this time, he had to find a resonant text, try to see if he could save himself, he wanted to live!

The pain continued, his spirit tensed, and at this moment of dying, when he finally remembered a poem that could save himself, he opened his mouth, exhausted all his strength, and spat out twenty words slowly, with difficulty.

......

Leaving the grass on the plain,

One year old and one withered.

Wildfires can't be burned,

The spring breeze blows and grows.
