"Ashu, I want to study and take the imperial examination." Xue Cheng looked at Lin Shu with firm eyes.

"Why do you suddenly want to study for the imperial examination?" Lin Shu asked in surprise.He didn't understand what happened, why Xue Cheng wanted to study so hard.

"Because I can't think of any other way except this one." Xue Cheng laughed at himself wryly.

"I don't want to be a farmer all my life. I don't want you to suffer hardships in the countryside with me, and I don't want you to be ridiculed and looked down upon by others."

"If only by standing on a high ground can those who look down on us shut up, then I want to try my best."

"You..." Lin Shu never imagined that Xue Cheng wanted to study for the imperial examination because of him, moved forward and buried himself in that broad chest.

This is being cared for wholeheartedly. Even if Xue Cheng doesn't love him enough now, he already feels enough.I really want to experience how it feels when Xue Cheng loves you wholeheartedly!

Xue Wen, that idiot, doesn't know what he missed, just wait to regret it.But I really want to thank him, if it wasn't for his stupidity, how could I have the opportunity to poach a corner.

"Okay, when the monthly leave is over, you can go back to the private school with me, and I will let the master accept you." Even though he knew that Xue Cheng would not be able to achieve any results, and it would be considered a top talent if he took the exam, he still did it for this. I was moved by my heart.

"Okay, Ashu, thank you." Xue Cheng lightly pecked Lin Shu's lips.

"There is nothing to say thank you between us." Lin Shu pressed his face on Xue Cheng's chest, a little sullenly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, let me teach you some simple things first. If you really ask the master to teach you from the beginning, I'm afraid he will go crazy."

Lin Shu ran to the yard to break off the branches, and then began to write and draw on the dirt. Who made the two of them have no books now?

"it is good."

When Xue Wen ran home reeking of alcohol, his parents were already asleep, so he went back to his room and lay down without washing.

Drunkness and drowsiness came together, and he should have fallen asleep soon.But looking at the moonlight outside the window, he was a little dazed, unable to close his eyes no matter what.

Xue Cheng's eyes were red, and the image of him looking at himself in despair kept appearing in his mind.Suddenly, Xue Wen pressed his chest, and he felt his heart throbbing violently, as if he was about to lose something important.

Clutching his chest, Xue Wen curled up in the corner of the bed in extreme pain.

In a trance, Xue Wen seemed to see a person walking away.Shrouded in great panic, he reached out and grabbed forward desperately.

However, that figure disappeared too quickly, and he tried his best but couldn't touch a corner of his clothes. Finally, he couldn't help but rolled out of bed, watching that figure getting farther and farther away, and another figure even appeared beside him.

----

Xue Wencai gradually woke up when he scored three shots the next day.Feeling the painful ground beneath him, Xue Wen endured the pain all over his body and was about to get up, but he had to lean against the bed weakly because of the pain from his head.

After a while, Xue Wen came back to his senses, changed his clothes that smelled of alcohol, and walked out of the room with a little vain footsteps.

But the scene in front of him stunned him. Although the house was still clean and tidy, the hot breakfast that he used to be able to eat as long as he came together had disappeared.

That's right, Xue Wen rubbed his forehead and gave a wry smile. He had already broken up with Xue Cheng, why would he come to cook him breakfast?

After washing with cold water, Xue Wenwen planned to make breakfast by himself, but he was at a loss when it came to the stove.After thinking about it, it's better to dig out the leftovers from last night and eat them hot.

"Xue Cheng! What's the matter with you today, why didn't you come to work until now? You're starving me to death. Hurry up and bring me breakfast." Come to bring him breakfast, already hungry.

Now that he heard the noise from outside, he thought it was Xue Cheng who came, and he was so angry that he yelled viciously.

And Xue Wen, who was preparing hot meals in the kitchen, was startled when he heard the sound. He really didn't expect that his father hadn't woken up until now.Now is the busy time of farming, doesn't dad need to go to work in the fields?

With doubts, he pushed open the door of his father's room, and saw that his father was lying on the bed with boards tied to his legs, unable to move.Xue Wen was startled, and rushed to the bed with a brisk step.

"Father, how did you become like this?"

Xue Dazhuang suddenly heard his son's voice, but before he could react, he opened his eyes and found that it was really his precious son who had returned.

Immediately, he felt sad and wronged again, and his old face was instantly filled with tears and snot.

"Son, your old man was bullied when you were not at home. I don't know some gangster ran into my room at night and beat me up."

"I didn't say anything because I was afraid of embarrassing you. I wanted to knead some safflower oil by myself the next morning. I could buy you a few extra knives of paper if I saved the doctor's money." But it just said it was for Xue Wen's consideration.This Xue Dazhuang was very smart when he should be smart, and he knew that he should hold on to his promising son regardless of time and place.

"But who knows, I'm like a moldy star possessed. The safflower oil on the bed broke and my hands were cut off. I wanted to go to the main room to look for it, but I tripped when I went out. And let the things next to the door be smashed."

Xue Dazhuang wiped his tears while talking, looking at his son's calm face, he felt that someone was backing him.

"Let me tell you, if nothing happens, I don't even know who those people in the village are flattering and flattering me. I've become like this, and no one has asked for a doctor for me, so I just lie on the ground like this Evening. I didn’t invite a doctor until Ah Cheng came back from town at night.”

"But the doctor said that the delay was too long, and it couldn't be cured. My son, this is the only way for my father to live like this for the rest of my life. I don't have anything to do, so I'm counting on you."

Xue Wen listened to his father crying in his ear with a gloomy face, and couldn't help clenching his fists.It was because he was worthless that he let his father suffer such grievances. If he was already a Juren, would those ignorant villagers dare to despise his father so much?

"Father, have you reported to the police?"

"No, what kind of official did you report to! It's useless to report, those yamen servants won't care about it."

Hearing his father's words, Xue Wen turned black again. These officials really didn't do anything.If I am an official in the future, I must be a good official for the country and the people.

"Father, you can't move in bed now, have you hired someone to do the work in the field?"

"Hire someone? Hire someone! It's fine if you can't do the job, why waste this money!" Xue Dazhuang yelled immediately when he heard that he needed to spend money.

"Also, what's going on with Xue Cheng today, he still hasn't come to cook us breakfast, do you want to starve us to death?"

"Father" Xue Wen thought that no one would think about everything for him early on, and prepare everything for him, and couldn't restrain the bitterness in his heart, "I broke up with Xue Cheng, and he will never come again in the future." .”

"Breaking up? What's going on?" Xue Dazhuang was a little anxious, "Then who will do our housework from now on?"

"Father, don't ask anymore. We broke up anyway, and there is no way to make up again." Xue Wen turned his head away, unwilling to discuss this topic again.

"Also, how much money is there in the family? Let's prepare a dowry. I'm going to marry the daughter of my benefactor's family. After we get married, we will move to the capital."

"What! You're getting married! Teacher? Is it the girl from Juren's family?" Hearing the news that his son was going to get married, Xue Dazhuang couldn't care less about why his son broke up with Xue Cheng.

"Okay! Okay, my son is capable." Seeing his son nodding, Xue Dazhuang was so happy that he patted the bed and yelled.

"Let's break up, let's break up. We don't care about Xue Cheng anymore. Hurry up and sell the land and house at home, and collect some money to buy things and propose marriage."

"Father, we have sold our land and house, what will you and mother do in the future?" Xue Wen frowned and looked at his father disapprovingly.

"You are stupid, son. We will all move to the capital by then, and what do we need to do with the land and houses in this ruined countryside. At that time, your mother and I will follow you to the capital to enjoy our blessings." Xue Dazhuang said proudly, The most correct thing he did in his life was to give birth to this son and send him to study.

Look, in the entire Xuejia Village for hundreds of years, there is no descendant who is as capable as his son. He is a credit to his ancestors.

Apart from myself, who else in the village can have the opportunity to go to the capital.He was actually worried that he would renege on such a small amount of medical expenses, and no matter who came to fawn on him, he would not pay attention.

"But, Dad." Xue Wen was a little embarrassed, "Master only said that my wife and I will go to the capital at that time, and didn't let you move to the capital too."

"What?" Xue Dazhuang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him immediately, "Then your Yue family is too ignorant of the rules. How can a newlywed live with the woman's parents instead of the man's parents? Isn't this a married couple? ?”

"I don't agree. Whose son marries a daughter-in-law who doesn't serve her in-laws. It's fine if you don't want me and my wife to go to the capital, but leave his daughter to serve us." Thinking that he might not be able to go to the capital, Xue Dazhuang immediately shouted .

He didn't believe that the master would be willing to leave his daughter in the countryside, and he had to compromise in the end.

"Son, if you pass the provincial examination by then, you'll be a candidate. Don't be afraid that your teacher will fail."

"It's not the same, father. My mentor's eldest brother was born as a Jinshi in the second list, and now he is an official in the capital. They are from a scholarly family, and my family only has me as a scholar. How can I compare with them?" Xue Wen looked at himself a little The unreasonable father said with a headache.

"I don't care so much, anyway, your mother and I must stay with you. If your teacher disagrees, I will not agree to this marriage." Xue Dazhuang said rascally.

"Son, let me tell you, you were married to Gao. If you listen to them in everything, you will be suppressed by them forever. When the time comes, your wife will ride on your head and show off. Let me see what you will do." .”

"Son, you can't be wrong to listen to what your father says. I have had more food than you for so many years, so I naturally know more about this than you. I can still harm you."

"Okay then, I'll discuss it with the teacher." Xue Wen finally compromised. In fact, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the teacher's decision.What's the matter with leaving his parents in the country and serving the woman's parents.In the future, if people find out, they will inevitably be ridiculed by those classmates.
