On the way to the private school, Chen Sanlang bought five catties of meat and carried it in his hand. It didn't take long to walk, and I saw the poplar tree in the courtyard of the private school from a distance, and under the spring breeze, the new green was rippling.

There was a loud reading voice, and the voice was childish.

Most of the students studying in private schools are Mengmeng schoolchildren, and it is very rare to be as weak as Chen Sanlang. After all, when you reach a certain school age, you have learned everything you need to learn, and you don't need to stay in a private school anymore.

Chen Sanlang did not rush in, but stayed in the courtyard, closed his eyes, and listened quietly. In such a state, it is inevitable to feel strange when others see it.

Waiting for the sound of reading inside to stop and the class was over, he went to see Mr.

Mr. Yang's surname is Yang, he is over the age of six, has a clump of goat whiskers, and has a clear face. He was born as a showman, and when he was young, he was keen on the imperial examination, but unfortunately he repeatedly failed the examination and could not reach the first. When he was old, his thoughts were cut off, and in order to make a living, he opened a private school in Jing County and taught for a living.

Mr. Yang is a decent person, old and serious, and is quite famous in the county.

Seeing Chen Sanlang bringing meat, he was clear in his heart, sighed, and asked, "San Lang, do you still have to take the exam this year?"

Chen Sanlang nodded: "Students still have to take the exam for another year." ”

He has been saying this for several years.

Mr. Yang looked at him and was silent for a long time. In his opinion, as long as Chen Sanlang's terrifying illness does not heal, even if he takes the test ten or a hundred times, it will be useless and it will be a waste of money. In that case, why do this futile thing again?

Persistence is a virtue, but mindless persistence is a fool.

In the Xia Yu Dynasty, the exam was not a casual test, the road was entangled, interpersonal communication, and various expenses were not low. There are many students who have gone bankrupt in the exam.

Chen Sanlang has been talented since he was a child and is good at reading, and Mr. Yang likes him very much. Helplessly, God is jealous of talents, and he is riddled with hidden diseases, and he can't take the test. The old gentleman didn't want to watch this student obsessive, stubbornly drill the horns, and ruin his life.

"San Lang, I heard that you went to the martial arts hall. ”

Seeing Chen Sanlang's resolute expression, Mr. Yang changed the topic and looked for another breakthrough.

Chen Sanlang replied: "Yes, the student feels that his physique is weak, so he wants to learn some superficial martial arts to strengthen his body. I am in good health, I can read books, and I have the strength. ”

Mr. Yang was stunned and asked in surprise: "So, are you no longer terrible?"

Chen Sanlang scratched his head and replied honestly: "This...... It's not clear. ”

Mr. Yang said "oh" and couldn't hide his disappointment: "Then, you must still take the test?"

Chen Sanlang said word for word: "After repeated defeats and battles, you can finally win." ”

Listening to this sentence, Mr. Yang was in a trance, and in Chen Sanlang, he faintly saw his previous appearance, he was so stubborn and firm, and he always felt that as long as he persevered to the end, he would definitely succeed. So, at that time, he took the exam for 28 years in a row, and finally got a broken family background, a dizzy old eye, and a white forehead in the exam, but he was still famous in Sun Shan.

However, there are many things that cannot be understood unless you have experienced them personally, and no matter how much persuasion you try, other people have little effect. On the contrary, it will be misunderstood by people and think that it is a hindrance.

So in the end, Mr. Yang still accepted Chen Sanlang's meat and promised to help hire someone as a guarantor - he had a proud protégé named "Qin Yushu", who is now working as a student in Nanyang College in Nanyang Mansion. In the past, Qin Yushu vouched for Chen Sanlang, and there will be no problem this year.

After saying goodbye to Mr., seeing that it was still early, Chen Sanlang went around to the edge of the Jing River and stopped to watch.

He had a faint hope in his heart, hoping that the mysterious red carp would break the waves again.

However, there are white geese, ducks, and ripples blown by the spring breeze on the Jing River, but I don't see the strange red carp of the elf.

Although Jing County is a small city, it has been established for thousands of years and has a long history, and the Jing River water has also flowed for thousands of years.

The water flows ten miles away, runs through a big river, named "Jingjiang".

The Jingjiang River is one of the six major water systems in the world, with a long history and majestic galloping.

It is not difficult to imagine that if the red carp were to go down the river, it must have entered the Jing River. The fish enter the river and probably won't come back.

Chen Sanlang sighed.

After a while, he walked home and told his mother about his participation in this year's children's exam.

Chen Wang listened and said lovingly: "Since Yuan'er wants to take the exam, just go." ”

Chen Sanlang was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "Don't worry, mother, the child will be admitted this year." ”

Chen Wang was stunned, she had never heard her son say such confident words. In the past, San Lang was introverted, and when he failed the exam repeatedly and was ridiculed, he was even more taciturn, except for going to private school every day, he hid in the study and didn't dare to see people.

If there is a change in the present son.

Chen Wang didn't know if her son's change was due to the inexplicable fainting last time, she vaguely remembered that when San Lang was ten years old, he suddenly had a high fever on a night of thunder and lightning - the high fever almost killed Chen Sanlang, and he was in a coma for three days and three nights before finally waking up.

It was the sudden high fever that made Chen Sanlang's originally lively temperament wooden. Chen Wang even suspected that the root cause of his son's horror was left by a high fever.

Now, there's another twist.

"Maybe it's because my son has grown up......"

Chen Wangshi thought about it.

It is said that the eighteenth change of women's colleges, and the boys will also change. When you have experienced a lot and matured, you will naturally take responsibility.

Suddenly, Chen Wang felt relieved and couldn't help but shed tears. If Chen Sanlang can really succeed in studying this year and show off his talents in the examination, the troubles that are currently bothering him will disappear.

Seeing his mother crying, Chen Sanlang's heart was sour: "Why should my mother cry." Don't pay attention to the gossip outside, when the child enters school, many unpleasant words, naturally no one will say it again. ”

Success has always been the best way to silence people.

Chen Wang nodded again and again, wiping away his tears: "That's it, my mother is waiting for your good news." ”

That night, she cooked herself and cooked a table of Chen Sanlang's favorite dishes. Seeing his son chewing and eating very deliciously, Chen Wang's eyes were tearful again, and he quickly turned his back and didn't let Chen Sanlang see it.

After eating and drinking, and after freshening up, Chen Sanlang sat in the study, looking at the books on the shelves.

These books have long been read by him by heart, and he has memorized them like a stream.

After a while, he sat upright, spread out the four treasures of the study on the table, and began to write—very casually, or casually writing an aphorism from an article, or a line of poetry.

In fact, for Chen Sanlang, his article calligraphy is more than enough to deal with the boy's test, and he can't pass the test repeatedly, but he is just psychological, and he can't swing normally.

But after having that absurd dream that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, I am refreshed, and I believe that I will be able to overcome my fear of the examination room and take the test steadily.

After a night without incident, I woke up the next morning, and when I got up for breakfast, I saw Chen Wang's family talking to Mrs. Wu.

Soon Mrs. Wu said goodbye and left.

"Mother, what is this mother-in-law talking about?"

Chen Sanlang asked.

Chen Wangshi coughed dryly: "She came to pass the word, saying that the Liu family was relieved, and only three hundred yuan was paid." The mother was wondering if she would agree. ”

Although the bride price of 300 guan is still a lion's mouth, it is much less than 500 guan, and she is a little moved. The key is that rumors are spreading at the moment, Chen Sanlang's reputation has been damaged, and Chen Wang's family is really worried that his son will not be able to marry a wife.

Chen Sanlang pouted: "Mother, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I'm about to take the exam, where can I pay attention to this?"

Chen Wang said: "You don't have to work hard about this, my mother and Uncle Hua will help you handle it." ”

The child still doesn't want to ...... As I said yesterday, as long as you succeed in your studies and pass the Xiucai examination, why should you suffer from such idleness? ”

The Xia Yu Dynasty had a clear hierarchy, Shinong Industry and Commerce, and scholars ranked first. The so-called scholars are not ordinary scholars, but people with meritorious reputation.

Xiucai is a kind of fame, even if it is only at the lowest level of the scholarly class. But fame is fame, and there are still many privileges. For example, exempting from errands, seeing the county order does not need to bow down, and knowing the county cannot arbitrarily punish him, etc.

Become a showman, and your social status can rise.

Chen Wang said: "Xiucai is not so easy to test......

When the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I quickly stopped it, for fear that it would hit my son's self-confidence and affect the exam that was about to be conducted.

But this is true. Jing County is a thousand-year-old city, and it belongs to Yangzhou, which is culturally prosperous and full of talented people, and wants to stand out from the crowd as if it is only the first stage of the imperial examination.

The boy test is three passes, the county test, the government test, and the hospital test, and the three tests are considered to be passed. In the three sessions that Chen Sanlang participated in before, he couldn't pass the first Guan County Examination, and there were no results at all.

Therefore, although Chen Sanlang swore that he would be admitted, Chen Wang's heart was always uncertain, so he thought about making preparations with both hands - his son would take his exam, and Chen Wang's would handle the marriage at home. If Chen Sanlang passes the exam, everyone will be happy, and with the marriage, it happens that double happiness is coming.

If he returns again, from then on, he has to cut off the idea of studying and live at home guarding the daughter of the Liu family.

However, Chen Sanlang was unwilling to accept blind marriage and dumb marriage at all, so he married a wife who felt bad in a daze.

In the end, Chen Wangshi was in a hurry, and tears fell down one by one.

Seeing this, Chen Sanlang frowned, and proposed a compromise proposal: "Mother, you are not busy promising the Liu family for the time being, and you will not make a decision until the child finishes the exam and the results are revealed." If I don't pass the test, I'll let my mother make the decision, but if I go to school, I will have to listen to my children from now on. ”

Chen Wang thought about it and felt that this construction was okay, anyway, it was only ten days before the start of the children's examination, and it passed quickly, so he agreed.

Chen Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief, it was not easy to convince this mother.

After a short rest, he first went to the martial arts hall, and then turned to the private school after doing his daily work, and asked Mr. Yang in person to teach the article system and some precautions for the children's exam.

This exam is extraordinary, and there is no room for mistakes, although there is some confidence, but the preparation is more sufficient, and the grasp will be greater.
