The road to the emperor begins with farming

"What are you doing?"

Luo Yu was taken aback by the loud shouting coming from the door, but he reacted very quickly, ran back to his seat nimbly, picked up the book and began to recite: "Three cardinal principles, monarchs and subjects are righteous, father and son are close, husband and wife follow... ..."

As if nothing had happened.

When the other students saw it, they hurried back to their seats.But it was a step too late, and their panic only made Meng Xiucai even more angry.

"I only need to relax a little bit, and you will become lawless and dare to gamble in the place where you study!" Meng Xiucai was furious, and he swung the ruler heavily on the desk in his hand, making a crisp sound.He shouted loudly, "Everyone who participates in gambling will stand in the corner for me."

Luo Yu watched most of the students squatting by the wall, thought for a while, and stood obediently.Although he reacted quickly at the time, there was no guarantee that Meng Xiucai would not see him.Besides, he doesn't feel that other classmates will keep him out of it.

well!Why is it so unlucky? Didn't Meng Xiucai say that he would come over in an hour? It's only been more than half an hour.

Meng Xiucai was so angry that there was smoke in his seven orifices, without further ado, he asked everyone to stretch out their hands, and each of them took a ruler to smoke twice, and then he relieved his anger a little.

"What's going on?" Meng Xiucai asked the more honest Zhu Yiqing.

Zhu Yiqing didn't dare to hide it, but he said it tactfully: "Li Qichen and Ye Tang competed for endorsement, and it was stipulated that within half an hour, whoever can recite "Wei Feng. Gangster" will be the winner. Hu Zhongping thinks this is too monotonous. So I proposed to put down some small money to encourage the two of you. So..."

Meng Xiucai snorted, "Who will win in the end?"

Zhu Yiqing pointed at Luo Yu, "Ye Tang did not miss every single word, but Li Qichen only memorized most of it."

Meng Xiucai looked at Luo Yu and said, "Since that's the case, I will memorize the Three Character Classic within three days, and I will test it myself."

Luo Yu: "..."

As for the other students, they also advanced their homework a lot.Everyone wailed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

After school, Luo Yu went home and muttered "Three Character Classic" in his mouth. There were only three days, and today had to be counted, so he couldn't hurry up.

Luo Yu originally wanted to simply cheat. As long as he probed his mental power into the space, he could turn on the tablet computer, see clearly the content on the computer, and recite what he wanted to recite when the time came.But I also feel that there will be problems if I cheat like this all the time?For example, a person's luck has a fixed number. If he is always lucky, his luck will run out one day, so he might as well save a little on insignificant things, so he finally gave up.

While eating, Luo Zhan saw that his younger brother's hands seemed not very flexible, so he asked, "What's wrong with your hands?"

"Ah? It's okay." Luo Yu lamented inwardly, and was slapped twice by the master. Although it wasn't heavy, it did affect the chopsticks a bit.He tried to make himself look more natural, "Accidentally twisted it, it will be fine in two days."

"How did you twist it? You were too careless, you still need to write with your hands." Luo Zhan put down his chopsticks and reached out, "Show me."

"It's really fine, so don't read it." Luo Yu hurriedly retracted his hands, it's not honorable to be slapped on the palm by Mr.Besides, if his brother knew that he was gambling, maybe he would be beaten like the husband.

Luo Zhan stopped talking nonsense, and went directly to grab his hand and look through it.Seeing two bright red streaks in the middle of Luo Yu's fair little palm, the entire palm was already swollen, and he immediately became angry, "Who bullied you? Tell brother!"

"No one, really." Luo Yu smiled awkwardly, "Besides, who dares to bully me?"

Luo Zhan looked at him in disbelief, "Then what happened to your hand?" He had just finished asking, when he suddenly realized, "You were beaten by your husband?"

"Hehe, how could it be? I'm so obedient." Luo Yu stopped eating and jumped off the chair, "Brother, I'm going to do my homework after eating, so you eat slowly."

Luo Zhan grabbed him quickly, "You little bastard, you have a moth on the first day of school, do you want to be ordered by me?"

"Brother, listen to my explanation!" Luo Zhan wanted to cry, but he knew that it would be bad for his brother to find out, as expected.

There was no other way, Luo Yu had no choice but to tell what happened today, of course the part about gambling was deducted.

After listening to Luo Zhan, he felt that his younger brother had nothing wrong with it. Didn't he just compete and communicate with his classmates, which can also promote learning.This gentleman is making too much of a fuss.

He went back to the room and took out the ointment, carefully applied it on Luo Yu, his movements were very gentle, afraid that he might accidentally hurt him.

"Yu'er, in the future, don't be brave for a while, so as not to suffer." Luo Zhan taught, "If there is anything that can be resolved in private."

"Yeah." Luo Yu agreed, rolled his eyes, looked at his brother and said, "Brother, why don't I go to school, I read at home by myself, in case someone bullies me in the private school..."

"No!" Luo Zhan refused very simply, "Whoever bullies you, come back and tell brother, and I will teach him a lesson for you."

Luo Yu: "..." It seems that this school is a dead end, so let's accept our fate.

But, "Brother, Mr. left twenty sheets of tracing red today, you can see that I can't use my hand too hard. If I can't finish it..."

"I'll help you draw!" Luo Zhan sighed and emphasized, "Only today, you still have to finish it yourself in the future."

Luo Yu immediately said with a smile: "Of course, it's inconvenient to ask you for help."

******

After being beaten on the palm of the hand, Luo Yu and Li Qichen's relationship has improved. Together with Zhu Yiqing, they gradually formed an iron triangle.Hu Zhongping, who was about the same age as them, was thrown out of the circle because of his disagreement.

Li Qichen is a branch of the Li clan in Yueping Mansion, and the most promising member of the Li clan is none other than Li Minhe, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who is now a second-rank official in the court.Although Li Qichen's family is only a side branch, it has gained a lot of fame along with it.

However, Li Qichen didn't like to study, but was forced by his father to study.In Li's father's opinion, even if Li Qichen only takes the exam as a scholar, the Li family can help donate an official.

And Zhu Yiqing is also very close to Luo Yu.When Luo Yu and Luo Zhan came out of the mountain, they rested at Zhu Yiqing's grandfather Zhu Yun's house for a night.

Zhu Yun used to be the supervisory censor, but he was secretly suppressed for impeaching the high officials in the court, and finally had to resign and return to his hometown.Zhu Yun's two sons are not expected to study, but they are the eldest grandsons, that is, Zhu Yiqing has a lot of style, so they are very valued by him.

Through the two of them, Luo Yu also learned a lot about the inside story of the school.

It should be said that among all the scholars in Lingjiang County, the most knowledgeable is Meng Xiucai.Meng Xiucai passed the examination of scholar at the age of 16, and in the provincial examination three years later, Meng Xiucai again passed the examination of Juren.It's a pity that he was involved in the scientific examination fraud case, depriving him of his fame.Meng Xiucai was disheartened and never took the imperial examination again. He only opened a small private school to live by chatting.

It is precisely because the Li family and the Zhu family knew about Meng Xiucai's past that they sent their children to study in this private school.Luo Yu made a mistake. Luo Zhan heard that Meng Xiucai's teaching is not strict, at least much better than the teachers in other private schools.Of course, there are also reasons why other private schools dislike Luo Yu because he is too old and has just started his education.

Meng Xiucai didn't pay too much attention to teaching, and basically relied on the self-consciousness of students.Of course, he will impart the basic knowledge and patiently answer students' questions.Most of the time, he is tinkering with some of his own things in the backyard, and occasionally forgets to attend class, and asks the students to call him over.

After dinner that night, Luo Zhan took another 500 taels of silver and handed it to Luo Yu.

"Brother, why do you have so much money in this year?" Seeing Qian's eyes open, Luo Yu joked with a smile, "Are you going to rob again?"

"No." Luo Zhan was in a particularly good mood today, and smiled, "The money is yours."

"Mine?" Luo Yu couldn't turn the corner.

"En." Luo Zhan nodded, "A few of the wounded soldiers a month ago were seriously injured but saved their lives because of your suturing technique. That method was reported to the imperial court by the county magistrate. Among them, military medicine can reduce the casualties of soldiers after obtaining this method. This is a reward issued by the imperial court."

Luo Yu chuckled, "Then I won't be polite." Then he put the money into the space.

Luo Zhan said again: "Besides this, there is another happy event."

"What's the happy event? Bro, don't be fooled, tell me quickly. Could it be..." Luo Yu's eyes lit up, "Could it be that you are going to marry a wife?"

"What nonsense?" Luo Zhan was amused, and flicked his younger brother's forehead with his finger, "The imperial court sent someone here today to seal me as the seventh-rank Chiyiwei General Banner."

Luo Yu was overjoyed when he heard that, "Brother, why did you suddenly get promoted?"

Luo Zhan said: "A month ago, more than [-] Heyan people who pretended to be bandits died, and some escaped people wanted to seek revenge from the county government. I was aware of it in advance and made arrangements to catch them all. They were all sent to the capital. I didn’t expect that there would be a member of the Heyan clan among them, so it’s nothing to confer me a seventh-rank official position.”

Luo Yu was overjoyed at first that his brother became an official, and then he was surprised again, "Brother, if you become an official, will our identities..."

"No." Luo Zhan rubbed Luo Yu's little head, and said with a smile, "Since I entered the county government, I have secretly registered our household registration information and used seals. Some people came to investigate in person, but they couldn't find any clues."

Luo Yu stretched out his thumb, "Brother, you still have the foresight, now I can rest assured."

"It's just a family matter, and I can't find out anything for a while." Luo Zhan sighed, and then cheered up again, "Fortunately, I have become a red guard now, and it is much more convenient to inquire about the news. reward."

Luo Yu felt a little guilty. He was so busy earning money and going to school these days that he actually forgot about his family affairs.He stepped forward to hug Luo Zhan, and comforted him: "Brother, don't be too anxious, it's important to be safe. Tell me if there is anything, we are a family, and I don't want to stay out of it."

"Well, I understand, I will tell you something." Even though Luo Zhan said so, he made up his mind to take this matter up and not let Luo Yu participate.

His younger brother, as long as he lives happily.
