When the students of Cai County heard the name of Zhou Dafu, they got up to greet each other.

"Zhou Dafu hasn't seen you for a long time, and we've sat at the front and back tables! At that time, I didn't see that you have such a poetic talent, and you knew to let you lift me up more! ”

"Zhou Dafu, but among us are dragons and phoenixes, we can be the same as you, sit next to me!"

"Zhou Dafu, I'm waiting for you today, the pen and ink are ready, you want to show your literary talents, let me wait and see!"

I can't say whether it's hypocrisy or true feelings.

During the dinner, the students were humble to each other.

Zhou Dagu sat honestly on the side, whoever toasted would take a sip, and whoever raised a glass would accompany us.

Anyway, I'm just going to have this glass of wine today, and I'll take a sip every time.

Hou Gongzi raised the wine glass in his hand: "Zhou Dafu, you have a poetic talent, and you will definitely be able to make a career in Confucianism and Taoism in the future, unlike our group of people!" In life, it's just a mix of food and clothing! ”

Zhou Dagu raised his glass: "You and I are classmates, let's talk about the rest of the literary style, tomorrow I will compete with you in the examination room, and I beg you not to show mercy to your subordinates, and test the demeanor of our Cai County students!" ”

He meant to be polite, who knows, a word provoked a thousand sighs.

"Zhou Xianggong, before tomorrow, you and I are both students of a private school, and after tomorrow, you are a high-ranking Xianggong, and I am just a stinky fish seller!"

"I'm similar to you, my family is in the tea business, and I'm a fragrant tea seller!"

"I ...... I'm a showman! ”

"Old man Fan, you are talking nonsense again, do you really think you can be admitted, Zhu Fuzi has said it, you are born with insufficient talent, you have been enlightened for decades, and your heart is dissipated, even if you are admitted, can you enter?"

Hahaha!

Speaking of this classmate, the room was full of laughter.

Zhou Dagu bowed his hand and advised: "They are all classmates, tomorrow is the county exam, you don't have to say anything discouraged, let's just work hard, and leave the rest to Providence!" ”

The students in the Zhu Fuzi Academy are naturally divided into two categories.

The rich family is one category, and the poor family led by Old Man Fan is also the same category, they are unwilling to die on the battlefield, and they have been working hard all their lives to gain fame.

Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars.

Who doesn't want to stand on top of the court and scold Fang Xuan!

Who wants to be a nameless cannon fodder in the border state of Cai County!

Hou Gongzi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "My eldest brother thought the same way back then, my father thought that there would be a master in the family, and it was also the ancestor who burned high incense!" ”

"Desperate, send my brother to study, if the county can't learn, I'll pay the money to go to the state school!"

"And guess what?"

Everyone present looked at him, and the Hou family and the Wang family occupied all the land in Cai County.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yuanwai had the support of the master book behind him, he would not be the opponent of the Hou family.

There are two secrets in Cai County, one is how the Xu family lost to the Wang family back then, and the other is the current situation of the eldest son of the Hou family.

Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask, and no one dared to say.

Hou Gongzi's face was ruddy, and the wine went down his throat, and he was worried about it: "My eldest brother is really angry, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he barely hung up the name of the lifter!" ”

"Lift people! That's a man who can be an official! ”

The dog leg next to him poured him wine: "That's terrible, I heard that our master bookkeeper was just a move back then!" ”

"So, our eldest son?"

Hou Gongzi looked at his face in the wine glass, and didn't know who he saw: "Crazy!" ”

"The Beijing Rite Department tried it, and the name fell to Sun Shan, crazy!"

"You were born in Xiangzhou and grew up in Xiangzhou, how do you understand the attitude of those people in Kyoto towards us Xiangzhou people, when my father went to Xiangzhou to pick up my eldest brother, he told me when he went home!"

"Don't go Confucianism again in this life!"

"You and I, born in Cai County, Gongwei Xiangzhou, but in their eyes, we are barbarians, sluts, sluts, how can we be qualified to study!"

Hou Gongzi was so excited that he stood up, but he didn't notice that a piece of paper fell out of his cuff.

Zhou Dagu wanted to remind, but when he looked down and saw the words on the paper, he was silent for a while.

Hou Gongzi looked in the direction of home and kicked Old Man Fan hard: "Look over there, my eldest brother is locked up at home by my father now!" ”

"You all think that I have hired a musician at home to teach me to read!"

"That's wrong, Lao Tzu never lied to you, that's my eldest brother's master, he prepares for the etiquette exam at home every day, and my father searches for exam questions from various states and asks my eldest brother to do it!"

"Only in this way can he remain normal and be a living person!"

"Pity my eldest brother's talent, and pity my wife who washes her face with tears every day!"

"It's not that I don't want to take the county test, it's not that I don't want to be a showman, I'm a student in Xiangzhou, and I don't have that life!"

Zhou Dagu picked up the poems on the ground, the words were crazy, he looked into the distance, and his heart trembled inexplicably.

He has seen the appearance of people in Cai County, ordinary people, but only ordinary people can see extraordinary.

In the past ten years, if there is no general in the court, how can there be a way for military attachés.

Who doesn't know that if you want to achieve a career, you must first study.

However, the people of Xiangzhou have no way to study.

Could it be that I can only be an inferior person for the rest of my life?

Could it be that Xiangzhou students can only be cannon fodder in the army?

"Only see the cold moon and the warm day, come and fry life!" Zhou Dagu spoke softly.

But in the calm box, a spring thunder sounded.

The students looked at him and said silently: "Come to fry life?" ”

"Whew!"

"Woo!" The room was full of readers, all of whom were wet with tears.

Old man Fan stood up and held on to the door frame, his eyes were slightly red: "The moon is cold and the day is warm, come to fry life?" ”

"I ...... I don't believe it, I don't believe it, that's all I can do in this life! ”

"I want to show off my talents, I want to read high books, I want to be promoted! Hahahaha! ”

"Hahaha! I want to, I want to tell my mother, I'm not a waste! Father...... Not a piece of crap! ”

"I'm a prodigy! Who didn't praise the Fan prodigy back then! ”

"I knew a thousand words at the age of three, memorized the Analects at the age of five, read Mencius by heart at the age of seven, and was over forty years old.

The Fan family was also everyone back then.

I heard that it was degraded from Kyoto, and ordinary people don't have so many books.

Old man Fan is the hope of the Fan family, and the family points to him to study hard and return to Kyoto.

Complete one's misery!

As soon as the Fan family came, he caught up with the invasion of the demons, and he was eleven years old that year, and the Daying Confucian Temple stipulated that he could only participate in the children's examination at the age of twelve.

He had no fame, and in order to protect his father, who was tortured half to death on the way to Xiangzhou, he carried a blade and went to the battlefield as a martial artist in the army for his father.

On the battlefield, he was kicked by the demon clan, and after he came back, most of his talent in his body had already dispersed.

After the war ended, Old Man Fan came back to study and participated in the children's exam, but he never passed.

This insistence is decades.

From a child to an old man.

The entire Cai County knows that he is obsessed with fame, but no one knows that this old man really insists on it.

Until this sentence.

Let's fry life!

It was only then that the resentment in his heart for decades could no longer be held back and spit out.

Hearing about the past, my heart is even more sad.

Cai County students are tear-jerking, and private school gatherings are held before the county exam.

Because of this, everyone is still a classmate today, and after tomorrow you are the master, I am a tenant, when you bow your head and bend over, this sentence is difficult to call out.

Hou Gongzi cleaned up his emotions and raised the wine glass on the table: "Don't say it, these literati are short-lived!" ”

"Let's be happy today, everyone is drunk!"

Zhou Dagu stood up, did not raise a glass, and bent over: "Everyone, I have to prepare wholeheartedly for tomorrow's county test today, and I will go back first!" ”

"Zhou Dagu, you still don't understand what we mean, you have a poetic talent, you don't have to go to the court, you can become an inbound scholar, you can also become a free scholar, write a few poems, get drunk in the rivers and lakes, isn't it good?"

"It's not bad, it's that I don't want to! Since I follow Confucianism, I want to be the first person, and I want to be the champion in the test of fame! ”

"Hahaha! It's really ridiculous, don't you know that the matter between you and Wang Yuanwai has been known, and they will definitely be difficult for you to learn in the county tomorrow! When you arrive, you can't even enter the door, do you want to be the champion? ”

"It's their business to stop them, and I'm doing my best to prepare for the county exam, it's my business!" Zhou Dagu took a step back, and then arched his hand: "Gentlemen take their leave!" ”

Hou Gongzi was annoyed and angry: "This Zhou Dagu, we persuaded each other with good words, but he didn't listen to a word, he was really kind to treat him as a donkey's liver and lungs!" ”

He stepped forward and was about to kick down the table where Zhou Dagu was sitting.

"Ahh Hou Gongzi covered his feet and jumped back and forth: "How can this table die on the ground!" ”

The dog hurriedly pushed to the small table in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Childe, no!" The tables are all just moved by me, how can they die! ”

He hurriedly rolled to Zhou Dagu's desk, but saw a piece of paper on the table: "This is, Zhou Dafu's handwriting?" ”

Some people can't look down on Zhou Dafu, but no one has ever looked down on Dafu poetry.

They hurriedly gathered around.

Old man Fan sat next to Zhou Dagu and stretched out his head to look.

No poems were written on the paper, only two sentences.

Before he could pronounce it, his eyes were already red: "Zhou Dagu, it's different from us!" It's different! ”

"Get out of here!" Hou Gongzi lifted the crowd and climbed on the table, staring at the paper.

Just one glance, he sat on the ground.

"You need to know that the young days are the first in the world."

What a pride!

The boy is frustrated, because the reality is too realistic.

But this poem, like a knife blade, gently cut through the young man's dusty heart.

He closed his eyes and saw himself as he could not be beaten.

"Zhou Dafu, genius also!"

The dog leg who was pushed to the ground by him, biting his lip, subconsciously said: "That...... Shall I wait? ”
