Where there are people, there is strife.

Tan Min's unabashed words outside the county school, no matter how they are interpreted, will always have a great impact on Sumen. At least, for him, he is nothing more than a rural scholar on the ground of Yizhou.

He, a student with no long body and a poor family background, suddenly became so loud that he laughed at Su Men.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, it will be promoted.

Although not all the rumors are in his favor, at least for him, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

He relied on disgusting Sumen, at least to accumulate some fame.

What about madness?

At least after he said that, out of Yishui County, some people knew him. But before, even the butchers in the town looked down on him, and scolded him behind his back—poor and sour. It is possible for scholars to be poor, but in the Great Song Dynasty, it is not difficult for scholars to get rid of poverty. He can read and write, write letters to people, earn money to support his family, settle accounts for people, and live a relatively decent life. No matter how bad it is, being a monkey king, opening a museum to teach apprentices, and supporting his family. But Tan Min didn't do any of this. He calmly accepted the food and money that his family had earned so much to support his education.

The hard-working wife did not let him get even a trace of gratitude, but disgusted that his wife snored loudly after a day's work. His demeanor is less and less worthy of him as a scholar.

He even secretly pondered in private that as long as he became famous, married a woman with rich furniture, and supported him in his academic pursuit, he would be able to rise to the top of his life from then on.

And his words dragged the other two parties into the limelight.

Li Yun rushed into Zhuangzi from outside, and after lying on the edge of the water tank and drinking a cow, he raised his eyes and said to Li Kui, who was practicing in the courtyard: "Second brother, Tan Min's house is simply arrogant, he dares to despise my Sumen student, do you want to cut him?" ”

"Cut whom?"

Li Yun is not good at this, he often goes against Li Kui, but he still learns from him everywhere. The word cutting is not commonly used in the Great Song Dynasty. But it is Li Kui's mantra.

"You don't see anyone day by day, you must know that if you can't even pass the county test, you kid will have a lot of fun!"

Li Yun straightened his chest and said angrily to Li Kui: "My father already knows that I passed the first county exam, and I went to the family temple to worship my ancestors early, and they all said that the Li family was going to be a scholar." There was also a big feast, and the neighbors went. I guess my dad is no longer angry. Besides, the most difficult scriptures have passed, what else can stump you and my brother? ”

"Shizi fight, if you really anger the examiner, your qualification for the county exam will definitely be cancelled." Li Kui said firmly.

Li Yun asked cautiously: "Second brother, Senior Uncle Zhou won't even talk about face, right?" Besides, we went secretly and didn't let people know. ”

"You think you'll be able to hide your eyes and ears? Besides, Tan Min's boasting of Haikou will inevitably attract attention, and his injury at this time is not done by us, and it will depend on us. Once this fight is broken, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the teacher's reaction. If he doesn't cancel the qualifications of you and me for the county examination, I am afraid it will cause even greater criticism. Li Kui's analysis was the Tao, and he probably guessed Tan Min's thoughts, a scholar who was so poor that he couldn't even pay the tuition fees of Culai Academy could only show that he was miserable.

Li Yun said angrily: "This guy is so shameless. ”

Since Li Kui saw Tan Min's thoughts, he would not let him get his wish. However, he still had to instruct Li Yun: "If you have the ability, you have tested Tan Min in the next game." When the time comes, I'm afraid this guy won't even be able to say strange things. endure for a while, calm and calm; Take a step back and open the sky. You and I are both scholars, so even if it was before, if this imperial examination went well, we would have to go to the capital. Could it be that someone in the capital provoked you, and you also retaliated with your fists? ”

Thinking that he had to rely on his real talent to learn to beat Tan Min, Li Yun couldn't help but feel empty.

In the first game before, he took the thirty-one exam, and Tan Min was the first. Although this guy is a mouthful, his strength seems to be a little stronger than him. But now I should be on the rise, and the more I fight, maybe there is a chance. Li Yun quickly adjusted his mentality, patted his chest and said, "Second brother, don't worry, you will compare him in the second game." ”

I have to say that Li Yun is the best person in the Great Song Dynasty that Li Kui saw when he came to the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Dalang doesn't count.

Da Lang is used to being bullied, and the whole person is a bit cheap.

But Li Yun is different, he is not very old, he is still at the age of daydreaming, any bad thing, in his heart, can always become a miracle of good things, he is puzzled. No, he just passed the simplest scriptures of the county exam, and he was already crazy about himself.

Of course, there is another reason, the trade-off between the righteous and the clumsy scholars. It is mainly aimed at students with insufficient knowledge, so as not to have indiscriminate people in the next imperial examinations.

And the second and third county exams, according to the previous rules, will not be clumsy, that is to say, Li Yun has already stepped into the examination room for the examination with one foot.

As for his self-confidence, it mainly comes from the county test Jingyi, and he took the thirty-first exam.

He also inquired that this year's county test in Yishui County went to 30 people to participate in the test. is just one place away, and he can fulfill Li Qing's ardent expectations for him back then. Originally, Li Yun was a little resistant to reading, but in the past few days, he found that he was still very smart, if he didn't like to read, he wasted a lot of time, and he worked harder earlier, maybe it would not be difficult to get the title of the gold list.

Zhou Yuan is his own uncle?

With this relationship, embarrassed that you can't even pass the county test?

Therefore, Li Yun, who has not been beaten for several days, is a little crazy.

Li Yun, who began to let go of himself, lay on the corridor of Li Kui's courtyard, looking at the sunshine, Li Kui's sweaty practice scene, and he didn't know what was going on, and suddenly had a mouth: "Second brother, you have a body of tendons and flesh, I don't know how many women from good families will be starved to death." ”

Li Kui stumbled suddenly, almost slashing an axe on his footboard, and his head was bruised. Speaking of which, other people's homes are tanned bronzed, but Li Kui was born bronze, but unfortunately in the Great Song Dynasty, Li Kui's style of man does not have much market. But there is no market, and he is also a straight man. But Li Yun's words gave him a palpitation of being peeped at by his peers.

That's right, Li Kui was indeed scared. Li Yun's view of right and wrong is very problematic, he is very studious, of course, it has nothing to do with learning, the main thing is that he likes to imitate older people, powerful people. At his age, it's normal for him to be like this.

But it's not good to learn anything, but you have to learn crooked things.

Can this Li Kui endure it?

I can really bear it, Li Kui thought about his violent temper, he was fine in Yizhou, he was fine in Yingzhou, and he was even more fine in Yangzhou. The main thing is that there is a platform, and the background is hard enough. But the question is, if he goes to the capital, can he still have a temperament?

No, I can't!

There are many people in the capital who can pinch him to death. In the competition of force, he didn't have the confidence to kick the Royal Boxing Gym, Zhou Tong was in the Royal Boxing Gym, Li Kui estimated that he would be embarrassed if he went.

Compared with the background, he is a kid from the countryside of Yizhou, where does he dare to compare the background with the families in the capital?

At least let him get the fame of Jinshi, and he can only be a little arrogant when he touches it.

So, these days, Li Kui decided to cultivate his temperament, so that his edge could be restrained and not offend people at every turn.

He didn't have the heart to beat Li Yun, and scolded angrily: "Don't always be with Gao Yu, this guy is not a good person!" This product is not young, the family has a lot of property, and he doesn't marry a wife, there is definitely a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Li Yun did it curiously, and his curiosity was overflowing.

Li Kui said this is not without purpose, although Gao Yu said that they are the same, they are all from Sumen. Don't look at the identity, let's just say Gao Yu, right? Something is very wrong.

Li Kui is sixteen, Gao Yu is almost twenty-seven or eighteen, this guy turned out to be a child man.

has no emotional experience, no wife, and spends his days pondering the beautiful things that a bachelor of his age should fantasize. In private, it is even more unspeakable to speak. In addition, Li Yun, who is not eye-opening, still admires Gao Yu. The selfish thoughts that popped up in Gao Yu's mind all day long made Li Yun learn. But Li Yun is only sixteen years old, if he is so unobstructed, wouldn't he have embarked on a fork in the road?

The problem is that Li Kui doesn't care if he goes astray, and Li Yun is not his son anyway.

But if this thing dares to peep into its own ...... beauty, this made Li Kui frightened for no reason.

Can Li Kui say this?

Can't say it! Seeing that Li Kui didn't say anything about Gao Yu's problem, Li Yun immediately wanted to give Gao Yu a grievance: "Second brother, I think you are really." Although Gao Yu was born at a low point, he is a military household. But being a righteous person, and being clean and self-conscious on weekdays, even dare not touch a woman, there are few such good people in the Song Dynasty. Second brother, I think you are jealous of Gao Yu's character better than you! ”

Li Kui was finally still under Li Yun's poisonous tongue, and no one could hold back his temper.

"Oh, second brother, you swore yesterday not to beat me again!"

"Didn't do it, used the feet."

……

Gao Yu didn't dare to touch women, mainly because in addition to talking to familiar women, when he opened his mouth, his face was not red, but his nose was red like a ripe hawthorn fruit.

There is no woman's fate.

In addition, this guy followed Su Shi to Maoshan for a trip last year, and met an unscrupulous old man who told him that he had an unspeakable destiny and would be an official residence in the future.

Self-righteous thinks that he must be the material of the middle jinshi.

Determined, before the Zhongjin Shi, he would never get married, breaking his boy body that had been guarded for more than 20 years.

It can be said that among Sumen, there are four people who have fallen this year. Su Guo is the most normal, followed by Li Kui, and Li Yun and Gao Yu are a little crazy.

After being beaten, Li Yun finally stopped a little.

The second session of the county test came as scheduled.

This time, there are a lot fewer people in the county who send them to the pre-school exam, and they are also much calmer.

After all, according to past experience, the second and third games will ultimately depend on the third game. The second theory is much less important. Besides, there will be no clumsy failure in the next two county exams, even if the mentality of the scholar is much better.

Since Tan Min said wildly, some people have walked around him. are all scholars who think they are talented and disdainful of Tan Min's touch on porcelain Sumen.

Perhaps, Qinggao is a stinky problem for readers.

But the people who read high schools have a good moral level.

There is justice in the chest, and which is right and which is wrong is naturally seen in the eyes.

However, after the second prefectural test, the admission was based on the ranking. It's not like the first one, and you will enter according to the exam number.

Tan Min is in front, and Li Kui is in the back.

The two walked face to face and walked to the gate of the county school, and the corners of Tan Min's mouth showed a mocking sneer. The tip of his nose also made a pig humming sound, and he said arrogantly: "You are Li Kui?" ”

"Inquiring? Not easy, right? Living in the countryside is indeed a bit of a shut-off. Li Kui smiled, but his smile was not very good-looking, and even a little crazy.

Tan Min is so angry in his heart! Do you want to inquire about Li Kui's reputation?

Fight the tiger hero Li Kui.

The county honored the disciple Li Kui.

Li Kui, a disciple of Sumen.

Although the people of Baizhang Village are very upright and simple, they are not satisfied at all when they should be famous. In addition, Zhang Dian sent Li Kui the word 'Renjie', in Yizhou, who doesn't know Li Renjie's name?

He just didn't know Li Kui, he had a bad relationship in the examination room before, and he didn't remember who the scholar who ridiculed him in every way. This time, at the gate of the county school, he was ready to humiliate Li Kui. Then in the second and third county exams, he beat Li Kui and achieved his reputation in Yishui County. In other words, Tan Min has already made up his mind to step on the Sumen disciple Li Kui to take the position, and for him, there is no way out at all.

There was a vicious aura in his chest, and he had to rush out of his mouth to say anything today, and then with great pleasure, he entered the examination room and won the battle.

It's a pity that Li Kui didn't follow the routine at all, and then asked: "It seems that you have done a lot of homework, you must have read the book "Tang Jiayan", is it as I said, every sentence is a golden and jade good words?" ”

Tan Min's face darkened angrily, he didn't want to read this divine book in Li Kui's mouth. It's a pity that all the friends who visited Yishui County didn't know that there was this book.

However, some people seem to have heard of it and told Tan Min: "It seems that there is such a book in the library of Linyi Yan's library, you can borrow it and have a look." ”

If you say this, you don't say it.

Tan Min is also able to be arrogant in Yishui County, for the absolute family lord in Yizhou, his talent is not enough for the Yan family to open the family library for him to make friends.

was once again scolded by Li Kui in the same way, Tan Min had an obsession in his heart, he must read "Tang Jiayan" in this life, otherwise he will not be blind. Li Kui's guy is simply heart-wrenching. Others are puzzled, so they naturally want to ask, it's just a rare book on weekdays, what's the big deal?

But this book is more than just a book, it's a status symbol. The family has a family history, and only then can I dare to say that I am rich in five cars. Only those who have money and knowledge can build a library building. Li Kui used a book to press not only Tan Min's only dignity, but also his identity and the money in his pocket. Born from a humble background and poor, that's probably what Qi means.

I haven't even read a book, and the confrontation between Tan Min and Li Kui naturally can't last, and snort coldly: "Strong words and reasoning, readers still have to see the high and low in the article." ”

"Hehe, I think so too."

Li Kui doesn't give an inch, can he still let a country scholar step on it? This product is not even recorded in the history books, it must be an unpopular goods, there is no need to be afraid of him.

Besides, after experiencing the devastation of Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi, Li Diao and others, what other terrible people does Li Kui have?

Tan Min arrogantly turned his head and entered the examination room first, which was the privilege of his first place. Li Kui followed and entered the examination room.

The county exam will not be too difficult, and the theory is not unfamiliar to readers, and in half a day, there will be another paper.

A day later, there was another official at the gate of the county school who brushed the paste and posted the ranking of the second county test on it, and the first place suddenly became Li Kui, and the second was very ironic and became Li Yun.

In third place was Tan Min, who spoke wildly, at this time his eyes were blood-red with anger, and his thin body couldn't help trembling: "Fraud, it must be fraud, I want to check the papers!" ”

Tan Min's reaction did not arouse the support of the scholars, and everyone knew who Li Kui was.

The head of Lijiazhuang, the richest person in Yishui County, is not a jinshi, so why bother to offend the seated tiger in the county, isn't it okay to find yourself unhappy?

However, after Tan Min roared, he still shocked the biggest official in Yishui County, Zhou Yuan stood on the steps, looked at Tan Min with a resentful face, his dissatisfaction and anger were already overflowing, and pointed at Tan Min and said: "Dirty people are innocent, but it is a crime to confuse the public." You have to think about it, once you sit down, no one can save you! ”

"Students, students...... The student thinks about it. Tan Min's face changed, his heart was beating fast, and he felt as if his eardrums were beating a drum. If Li Kui is better than him, he admits it. After all, Li Kui was ranked second before, and his level was better than him, so it was naturally possible. Of course, he was completely carried away by hatred, thinking that Li Kui was Zhou Yuan's disciple, and Zhou Yuan must have cheated.

is only one Li Kui, Tan Min also recognized it.

But Li Yun's sudden rise made him unacceptable. All at once it pressed on his head. Isn't this a slap in the face?

Zhou Yuan looked at Tan Min in disgust and said, "Yes, but you are also a scholar, so you should understand this price." ”

"Students are willing to gamble on their qualifications, and ask the county to fulfill it." Tan Min said ruthlessly.

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Since this is the case, you don't have to blame me for being unkind." Go ahead, I agree with you to check the papers. ”

"Senior Brother Tan, no!"

"Senior Brother Tan, be cautious!"

Others are really persuasive, after all, even Qin Hui has a few friends. What's more, Tan Min?

Now that he has gambled together, Tan Min also let go, raised his face and said to Zhou Yuan: "But the kid has something unclear before, and I ask the county to make it clear." ”

"Say!"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand impatiently.

Tan Min gritted his teeth and asked, "I wonder if Li Kui is a disciple of the county honor?" ”

This question is very sensitive, if it is a provincial test, when encountering such a situation, Zhou Yuan will definitely avoid suspicion. Or Li Kui simply did not participate in the normal provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites, but participated in the other first examination held at the same time. However, Li Kui and Zhou Yuan did not avoid suspicion, mainly because before the exam, they were relatively lenient in grading, so this situation occurred.

Zhou Yuan hadn't spoken yet.

Zou Xuan, a professor of county studies, said: "The county respects to avoid suspicion, the papers of the two of them are read by me, and they are also the official lords, and their test papers are ranked before you." ”

When Tan Min heard Zou Xuan's words, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he said secretly: "It's not good." But soon, he thought of another possibility, the protection of officials and officials, and added some disgust to this world in his heart.
