Everything is so natural, as if it is a matter of course, and as if it rains down.

It's just that there are always people who wake up from a dream, and there are tears rippling.

Yang Qian woke up the next day and found that the person next to her pillow was gone, and she suddenly panicked.

She gave herself all to this man who was more than 20 years older than herself, so she shouldn't be ruthlessly abandoned by him, right?

Yang Qian got dressed and pretended that nothing had happened and returned to the workshop, and heard the bad news again that made her almost faint.

"Brother Zhu quit?"

It was the fat aunt who shouted this, but these words were like a hammer in Yang Qian's heart, making her whole delicate body shock.

Tears flowed uncontrollably, flowing with their own helplessness and sadness.

Why!

This is the voice that she has questioned herself over and over again in her heart!

But no one could tell her, so she could only wipe away her tears and continue to work, pasting cardboard boxes day and night.

Fortunately, she has long been accustomed to living a hard life, and now she not only has a foothold in the city, but also rents a small courtyard for her son, which is convenient for her son to go to school and study every day, which is already a good life that she couldn't think of before.

It's just a pity that she doesn't have that blessing, and she can't keep a good person like Brother Zhu.

In the days that followed, Yang worked harder, saved every penny of frugality, and bought books and tutoring books for his son.

As long as their son can be admitted to Ocean University, their mother and son will come out.

As for the Royal Roads University, which the people of the capital talk about, she didn't even dare to think about it, at most, she gritted her teeth and asked her son to give it a try to see the difficulty of the Royal University exam.

In fact, this is also the choice of many children in the capital, because the entrance examination of Royal University is the same as the imperial examination of the imperial court, both in terms of questions and examination process.

First of all, the questions are written by the six books, and then His Majesty the Emperor selects the questions from them, and then sends them to the Royal University to print the test papers on the spot.

Therefore, there is a formula among the candidates in the capital, if they can be admitted to the top ten in the entrance examination of Royal Roads University, basically there is no problem in taking the entrance examination to any university, even if they go to participate in the imperial examination, they can take the test before coming back.

The exams at Royal Roads University are very fair, not only are there no leaks, but even the papers are judged in a vague system.

Therefore, candidates have a big list, and they are ranked according to the ranking of the scores.

It's just that there is a partial bonus at the time of admission.

For example, the royal family adds 50 points, the clan adds 30, and the nobles add 20.

It can be said that even if the royal family is a pig, it can be included with these fifty points!

Wang He also signed up for the entrance exam at Royal Roads University, and like everyone else, he just used the Royal Roads University exam as a whetstone to check his true level.

As for whether he could get in, he never thought about it.

If he, a person who has been enlightened for three years, can be admitted, then his ancestral grave is not smoking, it must be burning, and it must be the kind of fire that is three feet high!

After finishing a day's work, Yang fetched food from the cafeteria and brought it back to her son, and saw that her son was already sitting in the study and began to recite books, which made her feel both relieved and a little distressed.

"He'er, hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

"If we don't work this year, we will do it next year, and if we don't work next year, we will follow the year after tomorrow!"

"Mother can afford you!"

"Mother!"

Wang He looked at his mother gratefully.

"Mother, my son also knows that he can't do it, and my son just wants to try."

Yang said with a smile when he heard this.

"Let's try, anyway, there is no registration fee for the Royal University exam, let's eat and drink at most two meals, what are you afraid of!"

This is also the reason why many students like to use the Royal Roads University exam as a whetstone, that is, the Royal Roads University exam does not charge any registration fee, as long as you are registered in Tianfu, you can register casually.

Even if you are a non-local candidate, as long as you find a local as a guarantee, you can register for free.

And people don't worry about the lack of examination venues, after all, Royal Roads University directly borrows the Gongyuan exam, not to mention that you have 1,800 people, even if you come thousands or tens of thousands of people can sit down.

"Uh-huh!"

"Mother, the Royal University exam has knowledge of Gewu, accounting for 30 points. This son has little contact, and the progress of school teaching is too slow, so my son wants to buy a complete list of things and make up for this shortcoming! ”

"Gewu Daquan?"

"Is this book expensive?"

Wang He lowered his head in shame when he heard this.

"It's a bit expensive, even the coarsest imitation plate costs a hundred. If you buy a genuine book from Sanwei Bookstore, I'm afraid it will cost 700 wen......"

"Seven Hundred ......"

Ren is Yang unconditionally supports his son's study, and he was really shocked when he heard this number.

The single-family courtyard she rented was only 1,000 wen a month, why could a book be sold so expensive?

Although Yang didn't understand it, she had her own simple understanding, and felt that reading was such a sacred thing, and buying imitation books was a blasphemy against the saint.

Once the saint is unhappy, his son will definitely fail the exam.

"Okay!"

"This money lady is for you!"

"Let's not learn from other people's imitation books, let's read genuine books!"

Yang immediately took out a silver dollar from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"You keep the rest of the money to spend, buy what you lack, don't wronged yourself!"

"Thank you, mother!"

Three Flavors Book House.

Since Xie Kui became the editor-in-chief of Sanwei Bookstore, he has been committed to a series of ideas such as Zhu Yunxi's construction of scripts, adaptation of dramas, and public opinion guidance newspapers.

At present, the adaptation of the speaking book has achieved extraordinary results, and Mr. Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has basically been successfully adapted, feeding the entire theater troupe and theater in Beijing.

It's just that the progress of the newspaper has been very slow, and it is only an extension of the imperial court newspaper, plus an extension of the script.

Because the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of discussing the government, the government was also more disgusted with the people's discussions.

Therefore, under the joint efforts of both sides, government newspapers have been struggling.

If it weren't for the strong blood replenishment of Sanwei Bookstore, maybe the government newspaper would have closed down long ago.

However, this is still a trivial matter for the current Xie Kui, and his biggest thing at the moment is to promote the book "Gewu Daquan" as much as possible.

This book was hand-picked by His Majesty the Emperor and personally presided over the compilation, and the edict said that it must be vigorously promoted in the Ming Dynasty, so that it will become a well-known book like a book that interprets words and rhymes.

And this book is really good, and it is full of refreshing little stories.

For example, why do you see lightning first and then hear thunder?

Why does it thunder when it rains?

Why do you see the sails first, then the hull and so on.

It's just that the cost of this book is too high, especially the many overprinted illustrations in it, which account for 90% of the cost of the whole book.

"Editor-in-chief, the price of this book can't be lowered any longer, and if it drops again, we won't even have the money to buy ink!"

Xie Kui looked at the book whose illustration quality had dropped a little, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this book really can't compress the cost anymore.

"Then let's do it first, the price is five hundred wen!"

"Editor-in-chief, let's say we can't drop it anymore!"

"If it goes down again, no one will dare to take our job, even now, we rely on a large amount of words, so they are desperate not to make money to print for us."

"Alas!"

"How can we not know this, but who asked His Majesty the Emperor to promote this book and want this book to become a ...... that every child can afford?"

Just as Xie Kui was chattering with his subordinates, a weak voice sounded outside the door.

"Is there anyone in the store?"

Hearing this, Xie Kui hurriedly glared at Ding Hao.

"Why don't you hurry up and greet the guests!"

"This store is the head store of our Sanwei Bookstore, we must not neglect the guests and smash our signboard!"

"Yes!"

Ding Hao hurriedly ran to the front to greet customers.

"Guest, do you want to buy some...... Pen, ink, paper, inkstone? ”

"No, I want to buy the whole book!"

"Oh?"

Xie Kui was immediately interested when he heard the "Gewu Quanshu", walked from the back hall to the front hall, and stood behind the bookshelf to observe.

Hearing this, Ding Hao hurriedly picked up a complete book of Gewu from the counter and handed it over.

"Guest officer, you can be regarded as picking it up, today's price of Gewu Quanshu has been greatly reduced, from 700 to 500 wen per book!"

"Huh?"

Wang He never thought that he could pick up such a big bargain!

"So much cheaper?"

"Could it be that there is something wrong with this book?"

"No, no, this book is all genuinely printed, both the illustrations and the text are quite exquisite!"

"Really?"

Wang He opened the letter suspiciously, and looked at it It was really exquisite, more than ten times stronger than the imitation book he saw on the stall.

"Then get me a copy, and get me some vertical papyrus for the rest of the money...... Let's have a piece of ink ingot, too, and ask for ...... Fragrant ink! ”

Wang He gritted his teeth vigorously, and finally made up his mind to buy a piece of incense ink that he had always wanted to buy but was reluctant to buy.

As soon as Ding Hao heard what Wang He bought, he knew what Wang He wanted to do.

"Is this little friend going to go to Royal Roads University?"

"Yes......"

"No wonder, it is said that the examiners of Royal Roads University are all six masters, and they are born with a rich eye, if you don't use incense and ink, no matter how good your writing is, they won't take a second look."

"Xiaoyou's decision is right, let's spend a few hundred more dollars on ink to make a good impression on the examiner!"

"What the shopkeeper said, I think the same way......"

Xie Kui suddenly interjected when he heard this.

"Wait!"

"What does Gewu Daquan have to do with the Royal Roads University exam?"

Ding Hao laughed when he heard this.

"My lord, you haven't read the Di newspaper for a few days, the imperial court just issued an order three days ago, and from now on, any exam will be added to the examination of Ge Wuxue, accounting for 30 percent of the total score."

"Oh?"

"Why don't I know about this?"

"Huh?"

This time it was Ding Hao's turn to be dumbfounded, he thought that Xie Kui had spared no effort to promote the promotion of Gewu Daquan because he had already known about it.

"Your Excellency, you really don't know?"

Ding Hao said with annoyance when he heard this.

"I've been squatting in the workshop for more than ten days, thinking about how to reduce costs, how to match paints, where do I get the time to read the newspaper?"

"Oooh oh ......"

Ding Hao immediately stopped talking to Xie Kui and was busy giving change to Wang He on the side.

"Sincere benefit of 1,000 wen, looking for you 180 wen."

"Thank you!"

When Wang He got home, he couldn't wait to open the Encyclopedia of Things, and a lot of novel knowledge seemed to open the door to a new world for him, allowing him to know many answers that had puzzled him and puzzled him.

It turns out that the sun is big in the morning is just an illusion, but in fact, the sun at noon is the closest to people!

It turns out that the earth is a ball, so we see the mast first, and then the hull.

It turns out that thunder travels more slowly than lightning, so we see lightning first and hear thunder later......

While absorbing the knowledge of Gewu, Wang He added more questions.

That is, what is the speed of lightning, and what is the speed of sound travel?

And if the earth is round, why didn't those who stayed below fall into heaven?

When he finished reading the book in three days and saw the last page, he immediately found his goal.

Because the last page of the book is very clearly written, do you want to learn these advanced knowledge, do you want to know the principles of this world, so study hard, and be admitted to any university to learn the relevant knowledge of this book, so that you can not only know what it is, but also why it is so.

When Wang He saw this, he was even more determined to take the university entrance examination!

I'll do it!

When Wang He was studying at night and preparing for the entrance exams of various universities, a bad old man over 70 years old lived in a private house next to the Forbidden City.

Lao Zhu moved out of the palace since he escaped the catastrophe, and said that he would never live in the palace again.

But now that his birthday is approaching, many things have to be handled by him personally.

As a last resort, Lao Zhu could only find a private house on the edge of the palace as a palace.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, now that the vassal kings have entered Beijing one after another, what kind of honor should the Ministry of Rites use to respond?"

"What did you do before?"

"Back to Your Majesty, all the princes used to be princes, but now they are still imperial uncles, and they are older and have higher status, so naturally they have to be different......"

"It's a ...... trouble"

Lao Zhu spit out a groove that should not be spit out.

"Your Ministry of Rites will look at it, try to keep a low profile, don't be restless."

"If we weren't afraid that they would mistakenly think that we were dead, we really wouldn't want to live this life!"

Hearing this, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly nodded.

"Clearly, Weichen will study and judge with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and must give a ceremonial ceremony that satisfies His Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, there are princesses and others who are going to Beijing for a banquet, how to receive this?"

"Ask Concubine Guo Hui to go, she can do whatever she likes!"

"And ...... His Royal Highness the Acting King and His Royal Highness the King Heng who are imprisoned in the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison, please please? ”

Lao Zhu really made a mistake when he heard this, according to his original intention, he didn't want to be less, but this pair of bastard uncles and nephews were personally ordered by Zhu Yunxi to be detained, and without his order, it was not easy for him, the emperor, to release people rashly.

"Please tell our eldest grandson and ask him if he wants us to have a good year!"

"No!"

"Your Majesty, there is another Royal Roads University entrance exam, this is an exam question formulated by the six departments, please check it out......"

Royal Roads University?

Lao Zhu immediately came to his senses when he heard these four words, and hurriedly opened the exam questions to take a look, and was a little unhappy when he saw that many of them were chapters and sentences in the university.

"A Royal Roads University admission, why do you have such a difficult question!"

"Find us this Analect, and let's draw a few by ourselves!"
