Chapter 12 People must always find a reason for themselves to be diligent

Yesterday when I was in the ancestral hall, I promised the patriarch to take the Jinshi exam to fight for face in the clan.

People will find reasons for their laziness, Xia Yuan doesn't agree with this, he thinks that although laziness is one of the bad natures of people, but thinking about it on the other hand, people can also find reasons to be diligent.

Like himself, how can he not be a salted fish.

In his previous life, he didn't like to go to school, and he didn't have much interest in learning, but his father was a strict man and pursued an educational philosophy that was also a stick.

After more than ten years of student career, Xia Yuan used the reason that he would be beaten if he didn't do well in the exam, and he went all the way to 985.

And in this life, when he came to the Ming Dynasty, if he opened his eyes at that time and found that he had crossed into a high-ranking official and noble, Zhong Ming Ding Food House, Xia Yuan would definitely lie down for the first time, and be a waste snack with peace of mind.

But unfortunately not, what he crossed over was an ordinary family, although this family was far from poor in this era, and could even be classified into the category of a well-off family.

But for Xia Yuan, who is physically from the Ming Dynasty and whose soul is a modern person, such a family makes him very uncomfortable.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the thatched house, not only is the wind leaking on all sides, but the feet are only stepping on two wooden planks on the pit, squatting on it, people have the illusion that they may fall down at any time.

And the food I eat every day is also unpalatable, and it can even be said that it is a little difficult to swallow.

These two points alone have made Xia Yuan feel very uncomfortable, so improving the quality of life has become the reason for him to strive for progress, and it is also the first thing he has to do.

And if you want to accomplish this, the most effective way is, of course, the imperial examination, in this era when everything is inferior, only in the era of high reading, the imperial examination is the right way to get ahead.

Once you pass the exam, fame, status, power, and wealth will follow.

But the imperial examination is a grinding work, not that you can pass the exam with a touch of your upper and lower lips, it will be a difficult task on a year-by-year basis.

Before you are admitted to the imperial examination to improve your life, you can't always suffer like this.

If there is no task issued by the patriarch to be admitted to the Jinshi, his plan is probably to earn silver first to improve the quality of life, and when he earns enough silver, he will live the life of a rich man.

Then he may start to take the imperial examination in order to improve his social status, of course, it is also possible to lie down directly, which is more likely.

As a person with salted fish attributes, it is difficult for you to ask him to be full of ambition and take the initiative to climb up step by step.

And now it's different, someone issued him the task of being admitted to the Jinshi and glorifying his ancestors.

In this regard, Xia Yuan resisted in his heart, but after resisting, he silently included the task of participating in the imperial examination and taking the Jinshi examination into his life plan.

As for how hard to work in the entrance examination, this Xia Yuan hasn't thought about it yet.

Xiajiazhuang has a school, and the teacher of the school has been Xia Yuan's father before, and Xia Yuan has been studying there since he was a child, and then step by step from Mengtong to Tongsheng, from Tongsheng to Xiucai.

But since Xia Yuan's parents died, Xia Yuan had a serious illness, and he has been recuperating at home and has not gone to school anymore.

And the teacher who later topped the school was Xia Ru.

Xia Ru is Xia Yuan's uncle, or should be called cousin, and push up according to the generation, Xia Ru's father and Xia Yuan's grandfather are brothers, that is to say, he is Xia Yuan's father's cousin.

It stands to reason that with such a close relationship, Xia Yuan will definitely be taken care of when he goes to study, but Xia Yuan doesn't want to go, because after going, it means that he has to get up early every day.

The time to get up early is about four o'clock in the morning, after all, there is a class at about five o'clock, getting up early is one thing, and what is even more terrifying is that there is no holiday yet.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

After thinking about it, he finally came to the conclusion that there is no rush to test the fame, let it go first, and quickly earn money to improve the current life is the top priority.

At this moment, a shout suddenly sounded in the courtyard, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan..."

Listening to the voice it was Xia Ru, Xia Yuan pushed open the door and saw that the other party was walking around the courtyard with his sleeves flailing, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what are you doing?" ”

"What else do you ask, yesterday you said that you were in good health, I waited for you in the school for a long time this morning, why didn't I see you study?"

Saying that, Xia Ru walked over directly and grabbed Xia Yuan's sleeve, "Go, go to the school with your uncle to study, you are a person who wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, and you must not fall behind in your homework." ”

Seeing Xia Rusheng pulling and dragging himself out, that posture was no different from dragging a dead dog.

Xia Yuan didn't want to go, but his sleeves couldn't stand it, he had already faintly heard the sound of his sleeves being torn at this moment, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, sleeves, sleeves..."

Hearing this, Xia Ru let go of his sleeve, and then clamped Xia Yuan's wrist again, and then continued to drag him out of the door.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan changed his words again: "Uncle, you let go first, my body is not good yet." ”

"Didn't you get a good idea?"

Xia Ru's movements finally stopped, and he looked at Xia Yuan suspiciously for a moment, and said, "Why do I think you are so good, aren't you lying to your uncle?" ”

With that, he grabbed Xia Yuan's wrist and pulled him out.

It can be seen that he is very worried about Xia Yuan's academic problems, and wants to quickly pull Xia Yuan to study in the school.

Of course, it could also be that he can't wait to get a feel for what it's like to truly teach and educate people.

The schools in the clan are basically half-grown children, and the ones who are fast in progress can only skip the enlightenment stage.

There is no talent like Xia Yuan who has passed the college examination.

Xia Ru felt that he was also a talent, and he taught a group of young children to read some enlightenment books all day long, but he couldn't show his talent at all.

For this nephew, who is also a showman, although he may not be able to teach him anything, he can pull him into the school, and he is comfortable just looking at him every day.

Xia Yuan sighed and chose to give in, "Uncle, you let go first, let me go back to the house and get the books, and I'll go to the school with you." ”
