In winter, the courtyard is covered with snow. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info++++

In the middle, it was swept out of a vacant lot by the sons of the family, revealing the ground paved with bluestone slabs and bricks, mottled by the years, and trampled on a lot of traces, which looked a little old and a little ancient.

Yang Yun was dressed in a strong suit, holding a long sword, his clothes were very thin in winter, but he didn't seem to care, and there was even a trace of white gas rising above his head.

Standing upright for a long time, Yang Yun pinched the sword technique in his left hand and stepped on the gang, but he practiced a set of swordsmanship, which was a daily morning exercise, and the thunder could not move.

In the courtyard, the silver light is flying, the phoenix is rising, and the weather is strict.

"Whew!" After a few laps, Yang Yun opened his mouth and spit out, and the white qi shot straight out, showing an extraordinary inner family cultivation.

Seeing Yang Yun put away his sword and stand, the little guy who was serving on the side hurriedly stepped forward, handed over towels and other things, and kept complimenting him in his mouth, "Young Master Yang's swordsmanship is even more sophisticated, and the little one is standing so far away, he can see that his heart is fluttering!"

"It's just your sweet mouth!" Yang Yun scolded with a smile, handed the long sword in his hand to the little guy disapprovingly, and took a towel to wipe it.

"How dare the little one tell a lie? At the beginning, Young Master Yang learned extraordinary swordsmanship in less than three months, and even the old master was very surprised!"

The lord here refers to Cheng Xun.

Hearing this, a few different colors also appeared in Yang Yun's eyes: "Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, and I only know how to cherish ...... after I have lost."

The little guy's eyes widened. I don't know what the young master meant.

Seeing this, Yang Yun didn't say much, and casually ordered: "Prepare hot water." I'm going to bathe, and then I'm going to worship God and say hello to my aunt and uncle......"

There are rules for this, so naturally it has been prepared for a long time, and the little guy doesn't think about it anymore, and says in his mouth: "The fragrant soup is ready, waiting for the young master!"

After bathing and changing clothes, Yang Yun looked solemn. Came to a set of cubicles in the courtyard.

As soon as I opened the door, there was a smell of sandalwood on my face, accompanied by some smoke. And he saw an offering table in the middle, on which were placed offerings, incense, candles, and other things, and the one who was sacrificed was an idol of a god. Teenager look. Manners are majestic.

I don't know if it was the craftsmanship of the people who carved it at the beginning, or the statue of the god was sacrificed day and night, and it was self-reliant, every time Yangyun went to the sacrifice, he felt that this statue seemed to come to life, especially the eyes of the gods, which were full of agility and light.

"I don't know if it's the god of the city god last time. Looking at this ......"

Yang Yun couldn't help but have some reverie, and then hurriedly took the photo. "When you sacrifice, you must be sincere, what am I thinking?"

Dressed properly, light three long incense bunches, worship respectfully, and then insert the long incense into the small copper furnace on the offering table.

The slightest trace of smoke and a faint sandalwood fragrance brought Yang Yun's thoughts back to the past.

I remember that a few years ago, I was still a powerless Confucian student, my essence was exhausted, and I was almost dying.

Unexpectedly, on the way to Jianye's uncle, by chance, he was valued by the god of Chenghuang and temporarily borrowed his body, but afterwards he gave a lot of compensation, not only to make up for the loss of vitality in his body, but also to bring many indescribable benefits.

Not only does he never forget to read, but he also practices martial arts, and he also has a high talent.

The original Yang Yun had no interest in the way of martial arts, and even had some contempt in his heart, thinking that martial arts were ignorant and vulgar.

But after a time between life and death, especially when he felt that his body was full of energy infused with divine power, it was extremely comfortable, in stark contrast to his previous sick body, in order to keep it on, Yang Yun also had to be cheeky and ask his uncle for these "vulgar learnings" that he couldn't look down on before.

Cheng Xun got a letter from his sister before, and he was distressed by the lack of health of this nephew, and he was not very happy to see that he wanted to learn martial arts and strengthen his body.

As a patrolman, not to mention the martial arts collection collected in the government, it is a local gang, and he has to sell a few thin noodles, and he is very given a few sets of advanced martial arts, Cheng Xun is from the army, takes its essence, deletes it, and teaches it to Yangyun.

Yang Yun is talented and has worked hard, and in less than half a year, there is a trend of being better than the blue, and Cheng Xun is very relieved.

"Thank you City God for your protection!" Thinking of this, Yang Yun saluted solemnly.

Thinking of the previous Wu Hou, after the current Wu Guogong entered the city, it seems that he also intends to promote the belief in the city god in Jianye, so he even demolished the Zhao family temple in the center of the city and transformed it into a city god temple, and in the future, it seems that there is no need to be so sneaky, like a sneaky one, and I can't help but be even more happy, thinking that on the day of the completion of the city god temple, I also have to go to the two pillars of incense and give some incense, well! Not only that, but I also have to bring my uncle and aunt to pray for them......

When the worship comes out, the sun clouds look at the sky, the sun shines down, shining on the snow, the light is shining, it is very dazzling.

"I don't want to be at this hour, I still have to hurry up and say hello to my uncle!"

Seeing that he had missed the hour, Yang Yun no longer had the heart to enjoy the snow scene, so he quickened his pace.

"Is it Yun'er, come in!"

Yang Yun had just come to the front of the door and was about to knock on the door, when he heard his uncle's voice from inside.

Without hesitation, he pushed the door in, and saw Cheng Xun sitting upright, and the maid who served retreated with copper basins, towels and other things.

"I've seen my uncle!" Yang Yun saluted respectfully.

"Well, I heard that you smell the chicken and dance every day, and the morning practice continues, my uncle is very pleased, but this is better than my few unsuccessful rebels, who don't want to learn martial arts at a young age, but make fox friends everywhere, and make flowers and grass......"

Cheng Xun saw Yang Yun, his face was gentle, with joy, and he mentioned his own children, but he showed anger.

Yang Yun didn't dare to take these words casually, stood with his hands tied, and quietly listened to Cheng Xun's complaints.

After venting, Cheng Xun smiled to himself: "People are old......!

Yang Yun lowered his head: "Uncle is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the brothers are just young and confused for a while, and they will be able to wake up in the future!"

At this time, Cheng Xun, although he was a little chattering in his old age, Yang Yun didn't dare to forget that not long ago, who led the elite of his henchmen to break through the state pastor's mansion in one fell swoop, and even forced Zhao Pan to commit suicide!

"You don't have to comfort the old man, I can still see this clearly. Cheng Xun stroked his beard and smiled, paused, and his tone changed to solemn again, "When you come to your uncle today, you must have thought it through, let's say it!"

"Uncle, my nephew still wants to take the imperial examination!" Yang Yun looked at Cheng Xun and said, there was a different kind of light in his eyes.

Song Yu's opening of the imperial examination and the list of recruiting talents from all over the world have long been spread throughout Wuzhou, and passers-by know it, and there is a tendency to spread to the whole world.

Jianye is the governor of the state, and the news spreads even more quickly.

"You...... Since you are bent on giving in, and your uncle doesn't force it, go to the test and see the fate!"

Cheng Xun said with a wry smile: "Uncle is also considered to have been rolling in the officialdom of the army for many years, this imperial examination system is really unheard of, there is no restriction on background, anyone can take the exam...... Even if you don't win, you won't cancel the recommendation opportunity, Yun'er, you just let it go!"

Yang Yun smiled bitterly, Cheng Xun was only an inspection before, and his official position was not high, but after he entered the state pastor's mansion and made great contributions, he was also promoted, and he barely had the qualifications to recommend a son and nephew to become an official from the ninth grade.

This son is naturally stared at by many people, especially Cheng Xun's sons and the ladies and aunts behind them.

As for Cheng Xun himself, he is paying attention to Cheng Xun's nephew.

As long as he is recommended by Cheng Xun, he will immediately have the official body of the ninth grade, for Yang Yun, who is still white, it can be regarded as a step to the sky, but deep in Yang Yun's heart, he doesn't want to do this.

"It's hard to repay it! I borrowed my uncle's house and got my uncle's cultivation, which is already very difficult, how can I rob my cousins of the opportunity?"

After Cheng Xun revealed his heart before, Yang Yun immediately felt the jealous and resentful eyes of his aunt and cousin, but his aunt treated him as kind as ever, but it made Yang Yun even more uneasy.

I decided in my heart that even if I failed the imperial examination, I must not let my uncle use the opportunity to recommend him!

"It's a big deal! I went to the political hall to sign up, and I heard that after completing my studies, I also have the status of an official! If you do things properly and have meritorious deeds, you may not be promoted to an official!"

Yang Yun's eyes flashed, but he made up his mind!

......

The news of Song Yuli's imperial examination and eclectic selection of talents is like the wind across Wuzhou, and it is rushing towards the whole world.

In this world, the officials basically rely on recommendation, and the children of poor families and peasant families, even if they are only eight buckets high, rich and rich, do not take refuge in the family, and get their recommendation, there is still no chance of getting ahead.

is to sell himself to take refuge, and the family mostly takes care of his own family, how can he give a good position?

When it comes to officialdom, his own foundation is not thick, no one will look up to him, his family background is insufficient, and he can only stop under the five products for the rest of his life!

This is the general situation of poor talents in this world!

And in the case that the door of advancement is firmly maintained by the family, how difficult is it to raise the character of the family?

If the family character is not good, there is no way out for talents, which forms a vicious circle, and when the world is turned upside down and the world changes hands, it cannot be changed.

When the real dragon ascended to the throne, the attached family formed a new power gate, and it was still blocked after the rear, so that it was a cycle of three hundred years.

The political hall established by Song Yu before was only a self-cultivation talent, first of all, it was small in scale, and most of it was only a member after it came out, and he could not be promoted without meritorious service.

But the imperial examination is different, the treatment of Xiucai is equivalent to that of the judge, and the treatment of the person is equivalent to the history of the classics.

The first imperial examination is not limited to status, as long as you know some words, you can go to the government to take the examination, how much temptation is this for the world's poor scholars?

Although the examination time is set for December, many scholars have already set off for Fucheng or Jianye.

Among the students who rushed to take the exam, there were not only young people from poor families, but also noble sons from wealthy families, and even more farmers who looked like bamboo baskets and ragged clothes, but they resolutely went to the exam, which was a spectacle for a while.
