Chapter 2

Today is the day when the county tries to get children. Fang Yun is a candidate, but Fang Yun is full of despair about his future.

Fang Yun is a typical poor student.

Those Confucius students of noble families, famous families, rich families, canonized aristocratic families and even the supreme can not worry about food and drink and distract their livelihood families, but Fang luck is not good.

They can go directly to the best schools and colleges, but Fang Yun can't.

They can invite as many teachers as they want and when they want, but Fang Yun can't.

They can buy whatever classics, notes, biographies, commentaries, collections and other books they want, even without the buyer, but Fang Yun can't.

It's not easy for poor students such as the other party to live. It's the limit to be able to read some books. As for what's on the golden list, what's flying youth and what's wonderful life, it's all beyond the scope of poor students.

Fang Yun could not help clenching his fists.

Later, Fang Yun found himself in a desperate situation. The key problem now is not to worry about the reaction of his family after death, but to survive.

Just last night, the original Fang Yun was beaten to death by four masked people on his way home.

"Who wants to kill Fang Yun?"

Fang Yun soon thought of the only possibility.

Before the Qingming Festival, Fang Yun took his child's adopted daughter-in-law and sister Yuhuan to the Wuhou ancestral hall 50 miles away to pray for the blessing of Wuhou Zhuge Liang to pass the county examination and become a high school child.

On the way back, the two men met a man in a carriage.

The man smiled and asked the way to Wuhou Temple. Fang Yun politely pointed out the direction.

However, after thanking Fang Yun, the man began to talk and reported to his family. His name was Liu Zicheng. He was a high school scholar three years ago and was the head of the Liu family, a famous family in Dayuan Prefecture. His brother was very great. He was the first person in Jiangzhou last year, that is, Jieyuan.

Liu Zicheng is nothing more than a famous family, but scholars in Dayuan mansion all know that the Dayuan Liu family has a powerful distant relative in the capital, Zuo XiangLiu mountain, the head of the four ministers in the cabinet of Jingguo, the former Emperor Tuogu's important minister, and some even say that half of the officials in Jingguo are born and old in Liushan.

Fang Yun's biggest wish is to pass the county examination and become a child student. It is a distant dream for him to become a scholar through the government examination. Liu Zicheng is polite, extraordinary and enviable. Therefore, Fang Yun is unprepared. What does Liu Zicheng ask and what does he answer.

After that, Fang Yun asked Liu Zicheng how to take the county test. Liu Zicheng gave it all, and Fang Yun was very grateful.

When he learned that Liu Zicheng had been to the "Book Mountain", one of the three holy places, and even to the second Pavilion, Fang Yun respected Liu Zicheng more.

After that, Liu Zicheng sent his carriage to Fang Yun and Yuhuan home. Along the way, the two scholars talked happily, and finally even called them brothers.

That night, Liu Zicheng stayed at Fang's house and talked at night, which made Fang Yun more grateful.

The next day, Liu Zicheng left twenty-two silver tickets and a letter. The letter said that his opponent Yun was as good as old at first sight and hoped Fang Yun would accept the silver tickets. If he really didn't want to accept them, he would return them to him after he was named on the golden list.

Fang Yun thinks Liu Zicheng is a gentleman. However, he gave the silver ticket to Yuhuan and asked her to keep it. He was determined not to use other people's silver ticket.

However, Yuhuan said that Liu Zicheng seemed to have ulterior motives, but Fang Yun was very angry and scolded Yuhuan for spending a gentleman's belly with the a villain's heart.

Later, Liu Zicheng came several times and successively gave Fang Yun some books. The friendship between the two became deeper and deeper.

Yuhuan said twice that she didn't like Liu Zicheng. She was scolded by Fang Yun, so she never said it again.

Until one day, when Yuhuan went out to buy vegetables, he met local ruffians, and Liu Zicheng happened to pass by, so Liu Zicheng inspired Wenbao's "mountain pen", killed and retreated more than ten local ruffians with a sword, saved Yuhuan, and made Fang Yun cry with gratitude.

Just half a month ago, Liu Zicheng talked about Fang Yun's attitude towards Yuhuan and even pointed out that Fang Yun's family background would only harm Yuhuan.

Fang Yun also consciously owed Yuhuan and said he was sorry for Yuhuan, so even if his relatives had been persuading him, he didn't marry Yuhuan. He swore that he would marry Yuhuan when he was named on the golden list.

Liu Zicheng asked Fang Yun how many percent of the students are sure to take the exam. If you want to enjoy the scenery, you must at least become a Ju Ren, and how many percent are sure to become a Ju Ren?

Fang Yun was silent.

So Liu Zicheng said he was willing to accept Yuhuan as a concubine and offer a dowry of two thousand liang of silver.

Fang Yun looked at Liu Zicheng in amazement, but he still didn't realize Liu Zicheng's real purpose.

At this time, Yuhuan came out and told the story.

It turned out that every time liuzicheng came, she would deliberately please and approach Yuhuan. Yuhuan said that Fang Yun didn't believe it, so Yuhuan designed to deceive liuzicheng, saying that as long as he could persuade Fang Yun, she would marry liuzicheng as a concubine.

Liu Zicheng got the trick. Fang Yun woke up, scolded Liu Zicheng, and threw out the silver tickets and all kinds of things presented by Liu Zicheng.

Liu Zicheng becomes angry and threatens Fang Yun. If Fang Yun doesn't sell him Yuhuan as a concubine before the county test, he will make Fang Yun hopeless to test children all his life.

Fang Yun recalled Liu Zicheng's words.

"Don't be shameful! I wanted to make a good story when I married Yuhuan as a concubine: Liu Zicheng helped the poor children and the poor scholar entrusted the beautiful daughter-in-law! I told my brother I would marry a beautiful concubine. If he liked me, he could give it to him. If you don't agree now, how can I have the face to see him! If Yuhuan doesn't obey me before the county test, don't blame me for my black hand! Jingguo, I'm afraid The willows has the final say.

Liu Zicheng said and left. Fang Yun still can't forget Liu Zicheng's laughter and Yuhuan's words.

"I, Yang Yuhuan, am born from the Fang family, and death is the soul of the Fang family!"

However, Yang Yuhuan's eyes hide deep helplessness and sadness, and even a trace of despair.

Fang Yun was just ashamed and moved, but now Fang Yun remembered the scene at that time. Yang Yuhuan had a tragic death!

Fang Yun felt pain in the back of his head. He stretched out his hand and hissed, but his head was broken.

"Since I'm alive, Liu Zicheng will continue to retaliate! I can't escape now. The only way is to become a child student through the county test. With fame and literary status, he will never dare to kill me in Jixian! A child student is only equivalent to 'reserve talents', and scholars are basic talents. Therefore, the county test is the simplest. It only tests' please holy words' and' poetry ', as for' Scripture 'and' righteousness'‘ 'game theory' will be tested later. "

"The imperial examination in Shengyuan mainland is different from that in ancient China. However, if you come, you will be at ease."

Fang Yun thought in his heart, walking out of the alley, his body was seriously injured, his whole body was in pain, his clothes were wet, and he was particularly uncomfortable to wear on his body, but he bit his teeth and insisted.

Out of the alley, Fang Yun met an acquaintance, Duan Hu, who was a waiter in the restaurant with him, four or five years older than him.

Fang Yun was about to say hello with a bitter smile. Unexpectedly, Duan Hu was stunned, then showed hesitation, lowered his voice and said, "go home and have a look. Something's wrong with your family."

Duan Hu also wanted to say that shopkeeper Zhen at the door of the lucky restaurant five feet away shouted, "little tiger, your skin itches? Go buy vegetables quickly. I'll break your leg if it's late!"

Duan Hu sighed helplessly, gave Fang Yun a look that made him careful, and turned away.

Fang Yun didn't expect that something had happened to his family. He couldn't care about it with shopkeeper Zhen and accelerated his pace.

However, shopkeeper Zhen gloated and shouted: "I said three years ago that I could buy your Jiangzhou Xishi for you to study. Is it all right now? You can't get a penny if you are watched by the Liu family in Dayuan mansion! There are only two famous families in our county, none of them are famous. The Liu family is a famous family. They eat people and don't spit bones. Look at you. It's the Liu family who made you?"

Shopkeeper Zhen wears a green robe and a black melon skin hat. He is in his early 40s and has one wife and two concubines. He is mean. Because his last name is homonymous with the word "needle", the waiter in the restaurant privately calls him "needle eye small".

Seeing that Yang Yuhuan was too thin, Fang Yun stole some of the guests to eat the leftover meat and wanted to give it to Yang Yuhuan, but manager Zhen found it. As a result, manager Zhen grabbed the meat and threw it on the ground, stepped on it and kicked it to the dog in the yard.

"I won't give you a dog!"

Fang Yun still remembers the contemptuous eyes when shopkeeper Zhen spoke.

Fang Yun held back his anger and continued to move forward.

Shopkeeper Zhen said triumphantly, "do you think I hired you as a waiter because you are capable? I'm trying to get close to Yuhuan. Unfortunately, Yuhuan is obsessed and keeps away from me. I'm angry with you. Since you offended the famous Liu family, I can't get angry. You're dismissed!"

Fang Yun stopped, turned and looked coldly at shopkeeper Zhen and said, "please settle the rest of the salary."

"You have offended the famous Liu family. My restaurant is likely to be moved by the Liu family. I won't let you lose money. Do you want more money? Get out! Dare you come to my lucky restaurant again, or I will break your dog leg!" shopkeeper Zhen glared at Fang Yun fiercely.

Fang Yun glared at shopkeeper Zhen and said, "I remember what you said. I won't give you the salary you owe me today. I'll let you repay it a thousand times in the future!" then he left.

"Poor, I'm not afraid to flash my tongue if I talk big!" shopkeeper Zhen sneered and entered the restaurant.

Fang Yun clenched his teeth and walked quickly all the way. He wanted to go home to see what was going on, and then took pen and ink to the exam. If he couldn't pass the exam, Liu Zicheng would start for the second time in three days at most. At that time, he would die!

As long as he is admitted to Tongsheng, Fang Yun will be safe for the time being. Even if liuzicheng is a famous family, he doesn't dare to kill a Wenwei Tongsheng in Jixian County.

Fang Yunsi didn't care about passers-by's eyes. As she walked, she digested her new memories. She found that there was a big gap between Shengyuan and ancient China. Because of the emergence of talent, coupled with the struggle among ten countries, demons and tigers, pragmatism obviously prevailed.

For example, scholars here usually write in regular script and running script, but the battlefield changes rapidly. When using "talking on paper", they will use simpler cursive script to complete it as soon as possible, resulting in the continuous simplification of cursive script for hundreds of years.

The imperial examination system here is also very different. The ancient imperial examination of the earth began in the Sui Dynasty, but it began in the Han Dynasty, seven or eight hundred years ahead of schedule. Moreover, the imperial examination is not held every three years, but every year.

The area of Shengyuan continent is also much larger than that of China. There are exactly 90 States, and one state is equivalent to one province.

Fang Yun soon found that his additional memory was not only the memory of Shengyuan continent, but also some books he had never read, including complete test papers of ancient champion palace, biography of spring and autumn Valley Liang, guidebook, five classics of Zhuzi, three character classic, whole Tang poetry and so on.
