Chapter 1 Qingyun View
At night, a fifteen-year-old ordinary-looking, slightly thin boy was reading a book intently by an oil lamp under the quilt. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the curtain of the room was opened, and a twilight old man with white hair and a little staggering walked in, "Baby, don't look at it at night, it's three watches, let's look at it tomorrow, this imperial examination can't be passed in a day or two, right?" There was a look of worry and love in his eyes.
When the young man saw the old man coming, he immediately put down the book and helped the old man sit on the bed, "Why hasn't Daddy rested yet?" A strange look appeared on the young man's face.
The old man sighed, "Baby, if you can't take the exam this year, let's take the exam again next year, don't work so hard, if you are tired, you let your father go down with this old bone, how to face your mother?"
The young man was suddenly a little sad.
"The child listens to Dad, let's read it tomorrow," the old man snatched the book from the young man's hand and wanted to go out.
"Dad, the day after tomorrow is the township test, the child has to hurry up and review these days. An anxious look appeared on the boy's face.
"Hmph, what is the review, tomorrow let your second uncle sell our big scalper, and give the silver to the county order to be able to pass the exam by then." The old man looked into the distance with a look of contempt on his face, and did not hide it at all.
The young man's name is Bai Qi, and his ancestors moved to Chengjia Village to escape the war, but he didn't want to be excluded by the people of Chengjia Village, but fortunately, the Bai people were united enough to live a strong life in the troubled times, and the Bai family gradually integrated into Chengjia Village.
As for the old man as soon as he talked about the township test, he had a look of contempt on his face, and he had to talk about the well-known Lin County Order, as long as it was a person from Qingping County, there was no one who did not know the Lin County Order.
Bai Qi actually knew the personality of the county order for a long time, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that he would be outstanding in writing and be valued by the county order.
So for his father to say this, Bai Qi only sighed helplessly, and as his father went out, Bai Qi also blew out the oil lamp and fell asleep.
"Silly boy, come out and follow me to the county,". The roar of the second uncle woke up Bai Qi in his sleep.
Bai Qi opened his eyes in a daze, looked up at the sky, and it was almost time: "Oops, it should be that I stayed up too long last night." He immediately got up from the bed, hurriedly dressed and came to the door.
"Second Uncle, why are you here?" Bai Qi looked at Second Uncle with some curiosity.
Bai Qi's second uncle is called Bai Bufan, Zeng Shaoxiao left home, wandered outside for a full thirty years before returning home, the people Bai Qi respects most are his father and second uncle, and the second uncle also loves him very much, for no other reason, the relationship between the second uncle and their room is the best, and because the second uncle has no heirs, so he takes special care of Bai Qi, in addition, the third uncle's family, because he lives far away, so he gradually broke off contact.
"Silly boy, your father asked me to accompany me to the county town to sell the cattle, let me help you walk around this township test" The second uncle said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Bai Qi immediately became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed the scalper: "Second uncle, we can't sell this cow, what will we plow the land after selling my father?"
The second uncle glanced at Bai Qi with a helpless expression: "It's all the way of the world, what can you do if you don't sell it?" I just hope that you will repay your father well in the future." The second uncle said that he was about to snatch Bai Qi's cattle bolt.
Bai Qi immediately dodged and said resolutely: "No, the cow can't be sold, my father is already a handful of years, if we sell this cow, what will our family rely on to live in the future?"
The second uncle looked at Bai Qi helplessly, and there was some sadness in his expression.
At this time, Bai Qi's father came over and yelled at Bai Qi: "Let go, let your second uncle pull Rhubarb away." Then he turned to look at the second uncle: "Second brother, you go first, don't take the baby with you, I'll leave this matter to you." As he spoke, he dragged Bai Qi into the house.
The second uncle took the cow bolt and nodded to Bai Qi's father.
"No, you can't sell rhubarb, I won't read this book, I won't take the test. After Bai Qi finished speaking, he ran back to the room angrily, took out a box of books, and began to tear them up.
Bai Qi's father was immediately furious: "You rebel, what do you want to do, what can you do if you don't study? Is it as poor as your father for a lifetime?"
At this time, a trace of firmness flashed in Bai Qi's expression: "Father, I won't read this book anymore, you have worked hard enough to raise me, if I cut off your old livelihood because of my exam problems, even if I Bai Qi is admitted to the top prize, I will be punished by God." Bai Qi yelled angrily.
"You rebel," Bai Qi's father coughed a few times, and immediately picked up the flat pole placed at the door, and called Bai Qi.
At this time, the second uncle hurriedly ran over and stopped Bai Qi's father: "Forget it, eldest brother, Xiao Qi is also good for you, and what he said is also reasonable, that is, he really passed the exam and became an official, if he becomes like Lin County's order, it is better to be inappropriate." After the second uncle finished speaking, he spat on the ground twice.
Bai Qi's father is an honest countryman who doesn't understand anything, but Bai Qi's second uncle is different, although he hasn't read any books, but he has wandered outside and seen the world, so he suddenly put down the flat burden in his hand, and seemed to feel that what the second uncle said was reasonable, and fell into thinking.
"Studying is not the only way out, isn't it? Why don't we have to study?"
Bai Qi's father looked at the second uncle, and was a little disbelieving: "What can you do if you don't study?
The second uncle shook his head, "In business, do some small business, it is really not possible to let the baby go to practice martial arts and join the army, or send the baby to Qingyunguan to try it, to see if you can ask for the fairy road, why only let the baby study? ”
After Bai Qi's father heard Qingyunguan, a look of yearning and worship immediately rose on his face. Then he looked at Bai Qi again, "What kind of material is this baby?"
The second uncle smiled at this time, "How do you know if you don't try? Although a thousand people can't choose a few, but there are always a few who are selected? And Qingyunguan, every three years, will accept apprentices, the day is on April 15 of the lunar calendar, and the calculation time is only ten days, Qingyunguan is only a hundred and ten miles away from us, why don't you let the baby try?"
At this time, Bai Qi's father looked at Bai Qi, then looked at the second uncle in a flash, and nodded: "Okay, second brother, the baby can be left to you."
"Big brother, what are you talking about, Bai Qi is my nephew, I am saying that our Bai family is thin, I don't worry about him, who do you worry about?" The second uncle kindly touched Bai Qi's head and winked at Bai Qi.
Qingyunguan Baiqi has heard of it, it is said that they are all immortals who fly to the sky and the earth, and as soon as those immortals come out, they are the existence of the prime minister and the prince who have to be respectful when they see it, and the means are all over the sky, they can fly to the sky and the earth, turn over the river and the sea, and do everything.
Bai Qi looked at his father, and suddenly his heart was full of yearning for this trip.
