Chapter 35: Childlife (2)

Early in the morning, all kinds of people crowded out of the examination room of the Jixia School Palace early.

The triennial autumn festival includes the children's examination and the lifting examination.

The two are almost connected, but it is the children from all over the country who participate in the examination.

Therefore, the big families in each province are more focused on the second month's test.

But even so, as a child who has the qualifications to be on the roster of the lifting test, there are still many people who pay attention to it.

Champion Pavilion.

Several kind-looking men looked at the crowd in front of them with smiles, a little irritable in their hearts.

Although they have the face of good old people, they are actually more ruthless than many people, and they are the real core figures of the Three Red Gang.

"Head, I don't understand, why did you bring a few of us out, but you didn't bring Huzi them!"

"With the faces of Huzi and Lao Yu, few of these people dare to approach this station!"

As he spoke, an old poor sour accidentally stepped on him, and before he could look over, the other party had already scolded and said goodbye.

This person was angry in his heart, and he was about to show his fierce face, but the person behind him had already apologized.

"I'm sorry, old man!" Watching the people walk away, Liang Yun's face quickly calmed down, and he said to a few men around him: "The inside of the city is not as good as the outside of the city, and it is easy to get into trouble if you play prestige here!" ”

"Look over there—"

Several other people looked at it and suddenly felt a pang in their hearts.

In the Zhuangyuan Pavilion, there were originally some wealthy families who were not too big and small, and their families had a little money or ability, but compared with the real noble families, they couldn't get on the table.

However, even so, people like them do not dare to offend each other easily, and are even extremely jealous.

Dayuan Taizu is the emperor immediately, and his martial arts are promising, and hundreds of years have passed.

Although these two generations of emperors focused on the literary style, the martial style that has gone through dozens of generations is not something that one or two generations can easily abandon.

Therefore, all large households will hire some warriors as guardians.

For example, the descendants of Xunfu and the like, in addition to reading and reading and gaining fame, they also have to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and consolidate their spirits.

Even if these low-level people dare to risk their lives, it will be difficult to cause any harm to that kind of behemoth.

Oppress people with power, if you meet a husband, you can still splash blood in five steps.

But when the powerful also have force, the puppet can only be the puppet!

Therefore, for their low-level figures, power is certainly terrible, but what is even more terrible is force.

Like the Three Red Gang, they are afraid of officials, but they are even more afraid of big gangs.

And at this moment, in the Zhuangyuan Pavilion, there are some people whose momentum is completely different from that of many big families.

Although there is a lot of restraint between the eyebrows, some unscrupulous can still be seen.

"How dare these gangs come to this Champion Pavilion?"

Master Zhao exclaimed in a low voice.

Gangs and big households are disconnected, but because big families need to take care of their reputation, they are ostensibly incompatible with gangs.

In the past, such as the Nujiang Gang, they also appeared outside the examination room, but they were all very low-key, for fear of being seen by those nobles, and it was extremely rare to appear so openly as this time.

"I guess it's related to the situation in Chishui County!" Liang Yun thought for a moment and said.

Master Zhao and the others were shocked, revealing a look of disbelief.

"However, although Da Yuan is full of holes now, the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, such as Xu Yuan and the like, Da Yuan is not so easy to end!" Liang Yun said, but there was a trace of sorrow on his face.

It is not a problem that the original Great Yuan Guozuo can still last for dozens or hundreds of years, but in the past two years, the drought has continued, and smoke has spread everywhere, that is, those capable ministers can continue the Great Yuan for a few more years, or even decades, so what about the future?

He Liang Yun is not one of those other outlaws, who only cares about the present and the future, and walks out of that remote village, also in order to continue the glory and wealth, lay a family business for future generations, and let his bloodline become a master.

If you can't lay the foundation before the collapse of Dayuan, the future will be unpredictable.

Thinking of this, he looked at the solemn examination room, and at the entrance, the eyes of the two stone lions burst out, as if they were staring at themselves, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.

At the beginning, he also wanted to take the path of the imperial examination, but there are some things that can be achieved by very many people's thoughts.

At that moment, a man came in a hurry, ignoring the crowd and squeezed closer.

"Oh no, help—big brother! Oh no! ”

The person who rushed subconsciously wanted to call out the title of 'helper', but was glared at by Liang Yun, and immediately took it back and became a big brother.

"What's the matter, so alarmed?" Liang Yun's heart jumped slightly, and he thought about many recent things in his mind, but he didn't find anything wrong.

The person in front of him was the person who stayed outside the West Gate, and at this time, he ran over in such a panic, something bad must have happened.

Unexpectedly, the next words made him stunned for a moment.

"That king black monkey was taken away!"

"Who did it?" Liang Yun's face changed slightly, but he remembered that he had explained that he couldn't touch the people in that courtyard for the time being, and everything would be said after the Qiu Yu Tong student test was over.

"It's the planer gang at the South Gate!"

Liang Yun frowned, but at this moment, he only heard a low cry in front of him, and then, the crowd fell into silence in an instant as if they were choked by fate.

A young man in a blue soap robe walked out with a scroll.

He looked around, then walked to a high position in front of the Champion Pavilion with his head held high, and unfolded the scroll and chanted.

First, the scriptures were quoted, the fame of the imperial examination was sung, the prosperity of the Great Yuan, and then the teachings of various ancestors.

In the end, it is the list of children who have passed the exam that everyone is most concerned about.

"This time, under the Montenegro Prefecture, a total of 186 children were taken, and the list is as follows——"

"Fu Yunchang, 28 years old, from the neighboring county!"

"Liu Yuming, 49 years old, from Dayun Township, Gaofang County!"

······

With the chanting of the little official, from time to time in the crowd, some people couldn't suppress their joy and excitement, howling and crying, and some people rolled their eyes and fell directly to the ground.

Three years and three years, how many three years are there in life? For the sake of a child, I don't know how many people have devoted themselves to it with passion since they can remember.

If you succeed, it's good to say, but if you don't succeed, when you see this scene, I'm afraid it will be another round of heavy blows.

Lu Changsheng stood behind the crowd and looked at the crumbling old man in front of him.

There is a clear text in the Dayuan imperial examination, after sixty years, you can't participate in any imperial examination, looking at the other party's gray hair, I'm afraid that this time, it will be the last time.

"Uncle!"

Seeing that the name of the chant was becoming less and less, the old man's body was swinging more and more.

In the end, he couldn't stand it at all, and went directly to Lu Changsheng.

He quickly supported the old man, only to see that the other party was like silver paper, and his lips were colorless, and he looked completely distracted.

"Don't get in the way~ Don't get in the way~ Thank you, little brother!" He muttered, struggling to his feet, like a shell of a lost soul, and walked back step by step.

Lu Changsheng sighed in his heart, but at this time, there was not much left on the list, and before he sang his name, he couldn't help but feel a little more nervous in his heart.

Finally—

"Lu Erdan, 12 years old, a person from Dayu Township, Fushui County!"

Lu Changsheng and Li Pumpkin were stunned.

In the past two years, everyone has called Lu Changsheng Changsheng, but they suddenly forgot that Lu Changsheng's real name is Lu Erdan!

"Hit, Changsheng!" Li Pumpkin said excitedly.
