The three Zhuge brothers lost their father and mother at a young age, and although they were taken care of by their uncle Zhuge Xuan, a few years ago, Zhuge Xuan overworked and died of illness.

Since then, Zhuge Jin, who has become an adult, has taken over the baton of Zhuge Xuan, taking care of Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun, who were still teenagers at the time, with the mentality of "eldest brother is like father".

Zhuge Jin is seven years older than the second brother Zhuge Liang, and nine years older than the third brother Zhuge Jun, at the moment when Zhuge Liang and Zhuge are not yet twenty years old, Zhuge Jin is already a twenty-five-year-old human high-quality man with a wife and children.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this age gap and the constraints of traditional concepts that Zhuge Jin regards his two younger brothers as son-like beings who need to be taken care of and loved.

So, when the two brothers passed the state examination one after another with excellent results and were about to go to Luoyang to participate in the selection exam, Zhuge Jin's anxiety made Zhuge Liang and Zhuge very depressed.

Zhuge Liang even felt that it was not him and Zhuge Jun who were going to Luoyang to take the exam, but Zhuge Jin himself, especially when he didn't know that the State Society would send the candidates to Luoyang before, Zhuge Jin was even more anxious and couldn't even eat.

He combined the social experience he had accumulated from going out to work many times, and was ready to teach Zhuge Liang and Zhuge both some life experiences.

"Although it is said that now the Han is stable, the place has also been calmed, and I haven't heard of any bandits and bandits, but you still can't take it lightly, you two young people have never been far away, I don't know how much danger there is in this world, so ah, you must be careful!"

"You must take the official road along the way, you must not take other channels, there are tax cards on the official road now, and the tax card has the imperial tax collectors, as long as you pay the toll tax, they will keep you safe, so don't take any other paths, our family can't afford that toll."

"I've heard my colleagues say that during the second year of the first year of Zhenguan, there was still some chaos in the place, and some business travelers were unwilling to take the official road to pass the tax card, but the people were gone, so they died in the mountains and were eaten by big insects, just for a little toll, and gave their lives away!"

"Pay special attention to eating, you must not go to other places to eat things that are not clear, you must find something to eat in the official road post station, it is not that the official body can't eat the food of the post station, but there are some other restaurants run by local people in the post station compound, as long as it is in the post station compound, it is safe."

"You must pay special attention to eating this thing, you must not feel that it doesn't matter, I don't know if the things given by people outside are clean, whether they can be eaten, there are colleagues who ate outside things before, and I ran to the toilet eight times a day, and I almost died!"

"Outside is not as good as at home, there is everything at home, everything can be prepared for you, food and drink are your favorites, there has never been a shortage of you anything, there is no need to ask for home, when you go outside, who will take care of you so much?"

"Even if you go to Luoyang, you can't mess around, although Luoyang is the foot of the Son of Heaven, there will inevitably be some danger, our family can still say a few words in our hometown, when you arrive in Luoyang, who knows your Zhuge clan? Therefore, you must be low-key and do things, and you must not be publicized! ”

"It's all right, bright, especially you, don't think that you are well-known in your hometown, and if you excel in your studies, you feel that you can do anything! No! In Luoyang, there is a group of the best people in the whole Han Dynasty, and you are far behind them, so be sure to keep a low profile and be careful! ”

Zhuge Jin poured out all the worries in her heart like an old mother, making Zhuge Liang and Zhuge both heads as big as a fight.

If it weren't for the fact that a day later, he learned that the State Society organized everyone to go to Luoyang to take the exam together, and all the costs of the State School would have been borne by the State Society, then Zhuge Jin would not have known how much to worry about.

This is good, Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jun's ears have been liberated.

On the ninth day of the first month of the sixth year of Zhenguan, the two boarded the vehicle arranged by the state school under Zhuge Jin's reluctant and worried gaze, and embarked on the journey to Luoyang to participate in the selection examination.

The moment the experienced coachman urged the horses to drive the vehicle forward, Zhuge Jun, who was sitting next to Zhuge Liang, breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I can finally go to Luoyang! Finally, I don't have to listen to the nagging of the big brother anymore! Obviously a good man, he actually nagged like his aunt and uncle, and my head hurt when I heard it. ”

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the side, smiled and waved goodbye to Zhuge Jin, who was involuntarily following the carriage outside the car because of worry, and said without changing his face: "Big brother is also worried about us, you and my brother are away from home for the first time, and it is normal to go so far away, say goodbye to the eldest brother quickly, don't let him follow anymore." ”

Zhuge Jun turned his head and saw that Zhuge Jin actually followed the vehicle and walked forward, his face was full of worry and reluctance, like an old father who saw his child off his hometown, and suddenly felt depressed.

So he could only squeeze out a smile and wave goodbye to Zhuge Jin with Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Jin followed outside the vehicle and shouted the precautions for going to Luoyang, asking the two brothers to take care of each other and support each other until the carriage began to speed up and could no longer keep up.

At this point, Zhuge Jun breathed a sigh of relief again, and a cheerful smile appeared on his face.

"Finally, there is no big brother's nagging! So happy! I can finally do what I want to do! Finally, you don't have to worry about the nagging of the big brother! ”

Zhuge Liang listened to it on the sidelines.

"Is there anything you want to do that you can't do?"

"That's a lot! I heard that there are a lot of delicacies that can't be eaten in Xuzhou, and there are many novelties, and the most novel things in the whole Han are in Luoyang! ”

Zhuge Jun said with a smile: "I also heard that the city of Luoyang is very large, very wide, there are four big markets, and everything in the world, even things from the Western Regions, can be bought!" We've been staying in our hometown since we were born, so we should always go out and have a look, right? ”

Zhuge Liang smiled dumbly.

"We are candidates, we are going to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination, not just for fun, you shouldn't forget about it, right?"

"Naturally not, but the exam is only three days after all, and counting the final face-to-face exam, it will only be four days."

Zhuge Jun smiled and said: "In addition, we can stay in Luoyang for at least three months, so for such a long time, we won't all be bored in the hostel to study and learn characters, right?" Always play the first city in the world thoroughly! Otherwise, after passing the imperial examination and awarding officials, you will start working, so there is still time to play? ”

Zhuge Jun, who has a lively personality, keeps telling his plans after going to Luoyang, and his words contain strong confidence in passing the imperial examination.

These words fell into the ears of the three people in the same car, and they had their own thoughts, but the other three people in the same car never said anything to ridicule Zhuge Jun.

There is no other reason, because even if Zhuge is bragging about not making drafts, his brother is a real ultimate scholar.

The leader of the Xuzhou Prefecture Examination - Zhuge Liang.

It can be said that even if the people in Xuzhou Prefecture have not seen Zhuge Liang with their own eyes, there is no one who has not heard of Zhuge Liang's name.

Xuzhou State School has been established for only four years, from the beginning of Zhenguan three years, Zhuge Liang has emerged, become a well-known scholar in Xuzhou State School, as more and more people join Xuzhou State School to study, Zhuge Liang's achievements have not only not been impacted, but more and more gold.

When there are a thousand people, he is the first.

When there were 10,000 people, he was still the first.

When there were 20,000 people in Xuzhou Prefecture School to refer to the state examination, he was still the first.

And it's an unbelievable score.

Emperor Liu Bei, Zheng Xuan, the scholar of the school, and all experts in the Han academic circles jointly drafted the state examination papers for national unified use, with a huge amount of questions and high difficulty.

During the state exam, many people didn't even finish answering all the questions, and there were still people who were busy answering questions frantically at the last minute, hoping to write more and fill in more.

But Zhuge Liang handed in the test papers as soon as he was allowed to submit the papers in advance on the morning of the third day, Shi Shiran left the examination room, went home to sleep, ate a lot, and then went out with his brothers and friends for seven days, and came back to see the first place.

1st out of full score!

This great god can be said to be a dark cloud that has shrouded the heads of Xuzhou students for four years.

Every time the state school holds an exam, no matter what the exam is, it is when this dark cloud begins to lightning and thunder, and when the list is released, it is when the dark clouds begin to thunderstorm and rain, and the students in the entire state school have become poor worms without umbrellas in front of him.

Over the years, it is not that no one has refused to admit defeat, does not want to admit Zhuge Liang's ruling level of academic ability, and has repeatedly challenged Zhuge Liang.

They are called warriors by the people of the state school, and they each use their best discipline to forge swords and challenge Zhuge Liang to fencing.

With sharp swords and sharp eyes, they will never admit defeat!

Mathematics, Literature, Astronomy and Geography, Physical Chemistry, Agriculture, Engineering, Law, ...... When there were the most challengers, it could be said that seven or eight swords stabbed at Zhuge Liang together, not to mention people, Ultraman couldn't carry it.

But Zhuge Liang just carried it.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he received a full score for all subjects.

The challenger was dumbfounded.

Full marks for all subjects.

The Most Powerful!

The strongest under the current rules!

What are we going to do with others?

Ahh Trembling!

After four years of Zhenguan, the students in Xuzhou Prefecture School have understood a truth.

It doesn't matter if we mortals fight each other, but Zhuge Liang is different from us, people are gods, learn gods, as long as people are still in the state school, we will compete for the second, and whoever can get the second is a victory.

In this way, at the end of the fifth year of Zhenguan, Zhuge Liang got a full score in all subjects under the watchful eyes of everyone, passed the Xuzhou State Examination, won the first place, and obtained the qualification to go to Luoyang to participate in the second round of the imperial examination.

While everyone felt taken for granted, the group of people who did not pass the imperial examination and the group of people who did not take the imperial examination also felt inexplicably relaxed and happy.

Because......

Zhuge Liang has graduated!

He's gone!

The clouds have lifted!

Our good days are here again!

Finally, I don't have to be pointed at my nose by my father and mother and scold myself, "Why don't you learn from Zhuge Liang"!

Liberated!!

The moment Zhuge Liang boarded the car and left Xuzhou for Luoyang, I don't know how many Xuzhou students burst into tears behind their backs and danced with their hands......

Compared with Zhuge Liang, although Zhuge Jun's grades are as good, because his brother is too dazzling, covering up the brilliance that Zhuge Jun could have, most people don't think that Zhuge Jun is a very powerful character.

Now listening to Zhuge Jun "making a lot of nonsense" here, but Zhuge Liang, the god of learning, has a modest attitude, and the other three people in the same car only think that learning God is learning God, no matter how humble they are, they are still so handsome!

There are a total of 927 students who set out from Xuzhou to participate in the selection examination, and the scale is very large, so the soldiers are divided into three ways to avoid embarrassment that the post stations along the way cannot bear.

Zhuge Liang's road is the North Road, the route is mainly in Yanzhou, because the distance is relatively rushed, there is no leisure and leisure to enjoy the scenery along the way, the main journey is from one post station to another, and there is nothing special.

But it should be said or not, although this journey is tiring, so that every day when I arrive at the post station, all I want is to rest, but the food is really good.

When Zhuge Liang and Zhuge were both in their hometown in Xuzhou, they rarely ate in restaurants outside.

Before Liu Bei pacified the world, although they were young, they also remembered that the days were not as good as the year, and the year was becoming more and more chaotic, at that time, Xuzhou was the land of the four wars, and they were trapped in the Yellow Turban Rebellion for a long time, and everyone was miserable.

Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was put down, Liu Bei took power, and the people of Xuzhou could be regarded as ushering in a stable life, but the production and life destroyed by the war did not recover so quickly, so the childhood and adolescence of the Zhuge brothers were basically spent in chaos.

At that time, the elders of the Zhuge family would not allow their children and nephews to leave the family station at will to eat anything special, basically eat at home, the elders of the family looked at the children very closely, Zhuge Liang even heard that there were people in the family who proposed to cross the river to take refuge in Jiangnan at that time.

By the time the big guys were in peace, it was already a few years before and after Liu Bei ascended the throne, the chaos in the world had almost been pacified, and the opponents had almost been killed.

But at that time, there were still some unstable factors in Xuzhou.

It was not until the initial establishment of the county and state military organization in Xuzhou and the establishment of the Xuzhou Prefecture School that the Zhuge brothers really felt what the word security meant, and the elders in the family were gradually willing to let their children leave the clan to go to external activities.

The flowers in these greenhouses are finally able to bloom outside the clan land.

As for the matter of going far away, in the late Second Empire and the early period of Liu Bei's reign, it was basically similar to breaking through the ghost gate, and the elders of the family had to go out in groups, and they also had to carry weapons, and everyone had to practice a few hands of fighting knife skills for self-defense.

It belongs to the passive martial arts abundant.

To be honest, no one wants to be in the company of swords every day, and normal people also want to live a peaceful and comfortable life, but at that time, the situation in the Second Empire really did not allow everyone to live a normal life.

Until the arrival of the Zhenguan era.
