Since his parents died when he was a child, Gao Yu's life has been dispensable weeds since he can remember.

Even if it is a weed that grows in Bianliang, Tokyo, he is still a weed.

When the wine is sad, the words will inevitably increase.

Just like Gao Yu said, a poor boy like him may not be able to expect to become an official of the Great Song Dynasty and have an official in this life. originally thought that after the Kaifeng Mansion was deposed, his life would return to the original and start over, running around to become a clergyman in the government, or simply turning to the rising political star in Sumen, assisted in the near future.

But the martial arts test with the intention of trying it gave him hope.

No one thought that the Kaifeng Mansion scholars who participated in the martial arts test would be so vulnerable.

No matter how down-and-out Gao Yu is, he is also a military household, and he has learned guns and sticks since he was a child, and his foundation is not bad. In addition, he often mixes with Li Yun, and his martial arts are not high or low, and he is not low enough, but among ordinary scholars, he is definitely a tiger and wolf. Those who are confused will be qualified to solve the martial arts examination.

If it had been before, he wouldn't have dared to even think of such a good thing.

Just as Su Shi told him when he left Yangzhou.

If he failed the imperial examination, he would write a letter of recommendation to Gao Yu, at least arranging a livelihood that he could support his family.

Gao Yu originally had this plan, and he even felt that he would be satisfied to be able to become a scrivener in the official yamen in this life. But when he found out that he still had hope of getting an official title, he was really not calm.

Who is he?

The son of a ruined military household in the capital, there is nothing.

There is no systematic learning from a small and a big one, nor does he have a brilliant writing that can be used to gain fame.

Living this life in a daze may be the best choice for him.

Gao Yu picked up the wine bowl, obviously a little drunk, and said with hazy eyes, "But Renjie, I'm unwilling, unwilling!" ”

"Since I came to Tokyo, most of my former friends have stopped coming to the house. Those who come to me think I'm developed and want something...... It's just money, I don't care. But you can't take people for fools! ”

"You've been deceived?"

"It's not that I've been deceived, it's a willing gift. But...... Renjie, I can't go back, I can't go back!"

If it was Gao Yu, who had nothing, he returned to the capital, and maybe he still had many friends. You can even often play the autumn breeze and wait for an opportunity to be hungry and full. But now, Gao Yu has bought a house in the capital, although it is not big, but it is not a house outside the city. He has become a wealthy family with property and industry.

But Gao Yu is only one of them.

The friend is no longer sincere, and it hits him hard.

And the scholar doesn't want to see him, mainly because of his identity, Wu Juzi.

It stands to reason that he was born in a military household, and at least there is hope for a general-oriented relationship. But in addition to the label of the old party on him, he is still an unpopular identity, who will care about him?

Gao Yu had a feeling that he had been abandoned by everyone, and the appearance of Li Kui and Li Yun made him discover that he still had friends in this world.

Li Kui has a short temper, but he is bold.

Gao Yu's family background was saved by drinking soup with Li Kui, and if you want to say that you are not grateful to Li Kui, it is false.

He was afraid that Li Kui, like everyone else, would ignore him.

Drinking and drinking, Gao Yu was already drunk, but he seemed to have endless words, and muttered inarticulately. It's definitely not okay to send it home, on weekdays, the old lady and Xiao'e are all women at home, what's the matter with a big man?

Coming out of the inn, Li Yun said worriedly, "Second brother, won't this be bad?" ”

"Why don't you take him home?"

Li Kui also knew that this was not a courtesy between friends, but he couldn't help it. Besides, he is afraid that he will have to run these days, although Su Zhe does not want to see him, but what about Huang Tingjian? What about Li Gefei? What about Qin Guan? …… These uncles and uncles are all in the capital, and they inevitably have to visit them, as well as the Liu family, and they also want to squeeze out time to visit.

In addition, there is also the problem of clan brother Li Yun.

Although Li Kui is not very full of Fat Chun, they are all relatives from Yishui County, so they can't let people's hearts go cold, right?

Especially Fat Chun, she was also the cook in the teacher Zhou Yuan's family, and Uncle Xu was also an old servant who brought Zhou Yuan up, if she really turned against her, it would be enough for Li Kui to have a headache.

Li Kui went straight to the place where Li Quan went to school in his memory, and Li Yun was arranged by him to buy some necessary supplies.

In any case, I am afraid that I will have to live in the capital for more than half a year, and it is indeed inconvenient to not prepare more.

Even with suitable servants, it is possible to sign a contract to receive one or two from the house.

"Lee!"

"All!"

"Li Quan!"

"Jeon Lee!"

……

Getting closer and closer to the teacher's house, Li Kui heard Li Quan's recitation from a distance, he couldn't recite "Thousand Character Text", let alone recite "Hundred Family Names", he could only be his own name.

Saving him the trouble of asking for directions, standing at a slightly narrow doorway, Li Kui looked around for a while, and coughed, "Is Mr. at home?" ”

A young man walked out of the room and was stunned the moment he saw Li Kui.

But when he saw Li Kui's scholarly dress, he hurriedly said, "I don't know if my brother is visiting, my little brother is polite." ”

"Brother Tai is polite, junior brother Li Kui, I don't know if Mr. is in person?"

"It's just below, but forgive the brother's clumsiness, and the virtuous brother is ......"

"Under Li Kui, Li Quan is my brother."

"Brother Xian is a scholar?"

"Yizhou Juzi, I don't know what Brother Tai is?"

"Kaifeng Mansion lifts Fan Chong."

This name seems to have been heard, but Fan Chong heard Li Kui's introduction, and when he said that he was Li Quan's brother, his expression suddenly became a little weird. With a suspicious expression, Li Kui followed Fan Chong into the small courtyard, which was just two rooms and ten steps square. Other than that, there is nothing. Even if he lives in such a room, the owner seems to have carefully arranged it in a leisurely manner.

Coming to the courtyard, four people were standing together, and suddenly it was a little crowded.

"I don't know if the virtuous brother is here, and the younger brother is not prepared." While speaking, Fan Chong was about to light a fire to make tea, but was stopped by Li Kui and said, "Brother, don't be busy, the younger brother is here to pick people up." ”

"That's it!"

Fan Chong didn't force it, but when Li Kui got up, he hesitated and called out to Li Kui and asked, "Brother Tai has already been taught, why don't you teach Brother Ling in person?" ”

After speaking, Fan Chong seemed embarrassed and smiled, and explained to himself, "Maybe Brother Tai has a last resort, and he is in Xia Menglang." ”

"It's okay." Li Kui shook his head and said, "It's just that the elder brother is in the capital and the younger brother is in his hometown, so they can't see each other." ”

"Since the virtuous brother has come to the capital and has a good relationship with the elder brother, it is better to do this, the younger brother will return the shackles of the elder brother to the virtuous brother, why don't the virtuous brothers take them home and teach them slowly?"

Where does Li Kui dare to take this job, don't look at the harmonious relationship between him and Li Quan, but if he teaches Li Quan to read and write, doesn't this cost him his own life? Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Tai doesn't know anything, and the younger brother is here to catch the exam, which is quite inconvenient." Besides, Brother Fan's face is like Zhong Yu, and he has everyone's demeanor between his demeanor, he must be a person of faith, please don't shirk. ”

"I ......" Fan Chong couldn't wait to slap his mouth a few times to vent his anger, did he eat lard and blinded his heart? Why covet these shackles, now...... I want to die, but I can't help it. This can't blame Fan Chong for being cautious, but he is in trouble now, his father was demoted out of Beijing, and the family didn't have much money, so they all said that the poor family was rich, and they all let their father take him with him.

And since Fan Chong passed the exam, he has rented a small courtyard in the city, ready to study hard, looking forward to the provincial examination of the Ministry of Rites in the coming year. However, without money, not only do you have to study, but you also have to think about survival. There are many ways to make a living for scholars, such as serving as staff members, working as a bookkeeper, writing letters to people on the street, and so on. But the most comfortable thing is to be Mr. Mengxue, at least there will be no conflict with his own studies in terms of time.

So because of Li Quan's high restraints, he took Li Quan home and began to read and write. This teaching, he found that the problem came. He even had the illusion that he had brought back not a person, but a stone.

Especially this morning, he was stupid enough to find that the bundle sent to the door was also accepted. Later, I found out that the stones in his house had become two, and the pain had doubled.

If Li Kui wants to participate in the imperial examination, does Fan Chong also want to participate in the imperial examination?

Fan Chong was helpless, so he had to point at Ruan Xiaoer and say, "Brother Xian, this is also your brother?" ”

"No, it's a little guy." Li Kui looked at Ruan Xiaoer, who responded with firm confidence, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Brother Xian is kind-hearted, why don't you take this one home?"

Li Kui looked up at the bacon on the beam, it seemed to be one less than when he sent it in the morning, and immediately laughed, "Brother Tai, after eating bacon, I'm afraid it's not easy to retreat from this study, right?" ”

Fan Chong beat his chest and lamented, "I thought that one sheep was herded, and two sheep were also released." I didn't expect that sheep and sheep are different. Then he said to Ruan Xiaoer, "Xiaoer, come here." ”

"Okay. Teacher. ”

After speaking, Ruan Xiaoer respectfully ran to Fan Chong and waited for the teacher's instructions. Fan Chong wrote three words on the ground, the last two were 'Xiao Er', but the first word was not 'Ruan'. This is a method that Mengxue teachers often do to test students, and of course, it is also useful when you first enter a private school. When the students recognize more words, it will be difficult to stop people.

But he pointed at Ruan Xiaoer and said, "Read." ”

"Ruan Xiaoer."

Ruan Xiaoer shouted confidently with his chest straight.

Then Fan Chong said to Li Kui, "Brother Xian, you also saw it." You are not a seed for reading, so why let Brother Tai be this wicked person? ”

Ruan Xiaoer looked at the words on the ground ignorantly, and muttered, "Isn't it just reading Ruan Xiaoer?" ”

Li Kui glanced at Ruan Xiaoer, and said in his heart, where did you get your confidence? This word is pronounced Chen, is it Chen Xiaoer?

However, after seeing Ruan Xiaoer's touching reading talent, how could Li Kui take over such a rare 'talent', and decided to meet Fan Chongdao, "If you want to be restrained, you can discuss." ”

Fan Chongqi, does he mean it for money?

Of course, he is poor now, but that doesn't mean he can do anything for money. Besides, if he doesn't think it through, having one Li Quan is enough for him to bear, and one more Ruan Xiaoer, how can he live?

What's even worse is that he needs to revise his studies, and the provincial exam is just around the corner, and the two pairs of months will pass in the blink of an eye.

The imperial examination is more than two months away, and there is no delay at all.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember the name of a person that his father said when he was leaving, and asked Li Kui tentatively, "Brother Xian is Li Renjie?" ”

Li Kui chuckled in his heart, he couldn't return the money, did he want to cling to friendship?

However, Li Kui also seems to have remembered the identity of this person, it cannot be said that it is Fan Chong's identity, but Fan Chong's father, Fan Zuyu, has been ridiculed by Su Shi many times. was said by Su Shi to be Sima Niu's disciple and the first lackey.

At that time, Su Shi was inseparable from Sima Guang in the capital, and bluntly said that Sima Guang was Sima Niu.

And Fan Zuyu ...... Hehe, after Zhongjin Shihou despised being an official, he followed Sima Guang to revise the "Zizhi Tongjian" for fifteen years, and after Sima Guang came to power, he immediately concocted a "Record of Shenzong", saying that Shenzong was deceived and changed the law because he was bewitched by Wang Anshi, and all the mistakes were caused by Wang Anshi's selfishness. It opened the road of criticism and slander of the old party's criticism and slander of Wang Anshi, the leader of the reform faction.

Anyway, it made the capital uproar at that time, and many people recognized Fan Zuyu because of this "Records of Shenzong", this magical disciple who refused to be an official after being a jinshi and served as a deputy for Sima Guang.

Now...... Fan Zuyu should have been assigned.

Li Kui touched the minibus, glanced at the restless Fan Chong, and said in his heart, "It turned out to be the right one." ”
