Speaking of which, Chang'an has been immersed in the turmoil recently. First, the emperor passed away, and then the prince fell into a coma. Even around the city square, there are often discussions.

In Daxing Palace, after confirming that the prince's fever was gone, Sun Simiao began to prepare for acupuncture and moxibustion.Some medical officers panicked: "The crown prince is still in a coma. If it doesn't work, then the saint..."

It’s been more than a month now, and the prince is still not sober. The imperial palace seems to be normal, but rumors are spreading everywhere. The medical officer remembered that someone in the court had asked to change the prince for the stability of the court. Although Wei Zheng and others argued it back, but If there is one, there are two, if the crown prince does not wake up...then this turmoil may come true.

Although the head of the East Palace can't get out of bed, any movement in the huge East Palace can't escape his eyes. He is one of the closest people to the prince.

If the prince is really as gentle and restrained as he appears on the surface, how can the people under him still firmly control the situation after being in a coma for so long?

Now this east palace is still the prince's east palace!

There are people in the court who fish in troubled waters, but there are also people who will not retreat.

Sun Simiao was dressed in a Taoist robe, and he spoke with a fairy air, and he spoke slowly: "For food, you have to eat one bite at a time, and for illness, you have to take it step by step. Don't worry."

Acupuncture equipment is being prepared, and the silver needles after the fire are lying on the white gauze.

Sun Simiao stared intently at the comatose prince, held his hand to observe the subtlety of the pulse, and after a long while, "The needle comes."

With an extremely subtle sound of "噗嗤", the needle entered the acupuncture point.

...

In this comfortable Shicheng County, the sun is fleeting and the sky is getting dark.The autumn harvest season is approaching, and the wind at night is also chilling.

Yu Yu often reads with an oil lamp at night, but the light of the oil lamp is too dim and dazzling.Candles are brighter, but the price of candles is not cheap now, at least a few hundred dollars.

The reason why Yu Yu's life has been peaceful these years is that Mrs. Xu has left a lot of cash. Although she has a good fortune in the farm, she can spend money on studying. I just sit and eat before I finish reading it.

It was rare for Yu Yu not to read a book tonight, but to stand in front of the bookshelf with his arms folded, looking at the crowded books.

Aye is a book-loving character. Most of the books in this family are collected by him. No matter whether they are official books or miscellaneous books, most of the books that are not too remote and can be named are available in the Yu family.

Not to mention the books on the bookshelf, there are books that are not commonly used on three walls of the warehouse.

Aye and Auntie are all people with secrets, and the ups and downs of their childhood are still fresh in Yu Yu's memory. Even if they have any eccentricities, Mr. Xiaolang will not be surprised, let alone just like to collect books.

Yu Yu listened to the words of the doctor of Confucian classics.

Most of the people in the county school planned to take the Economics and Economics Department. Although they had to wait a long time for the election after becoming an official, this was already the most convenient way.There are also plans to take mathematics or other subjects, but no one plans to go into a scholar.

Yu Yu heard from Lu Wenhe that last year's imperial examination, the number of Mingjing scriptures was not mentioned, but there was only one person who passed the imperial examination.

And there are more than hundreds of thousands of people entering Beijing?

This is not picking one out of ten thousand, this is almost a matter of destiny!

Just as Yu Yu was thinking, the big lazy cat jumped in from the window.Mr. Xiao Lang was distracted and glanced at the vigorous cat, the smooth lines and lazy posture always seemed out of place.

He turned around and looked at the huge cat walking straight towards him. The huge black cat lightly jumped onto the table and sat upright, with its big tail hanging down and flicking. The green cat eyes were staring at Yu Yu closely. He seemed to be looking at Xiao Langjun seriously.

Yu Yu walked back to the desk. On the table was the big characters he had just finished practicing. The fragrance of ink on his body was intertwined with the faint fragrance of flowers.

The cat smells it.

I forgot to take off the flowers on Xiao Langjun's hairpin.

The little man with the hairpin flower was sitting at the table solemnly, looking even thinner in the dim soybean oil lamp.He said to himself: "If you want to take the imperial examination, don't you want to go to Chang'an City?"

It was as if Xiao Langjun remembered this for the first time. Although his face was still expressionless, his brows were furrowed in distress.

Aye said that he was not allowed to go to Chang'an City.

The cold little man sat quietly, looking like a lifeless jade statue.The reflection of the flickering light hit Yu Yu's eyebrows, casting a heavy shadow.

"But I want to go to Chang'an." Xiao Langjun suddenly said something to himself, sounding a little out of order.

The gloomy and dreary shadow squatting on the table moved, and two clusters of green like will-o'-the-wisps emerged from the darkness, the pointed cat ears moved vigilantly, and the cat's tail stuck stiffly against the corner of the table. .

Yu Yu looked up at the big cat, his face was calm and his eyes were smiling.

"They say that Chang'an is a magnificent treasure in the world, and it is the splendor of Tang Dynasty. I want to see what kind of picture scroll it is. I want to know how His Royal Highness is doing now. I want to know what kind of world this world is. I don't know. There's a lot to know, but I want to know what I don't know."

When Xiao Langjun spoke, he still had that unhurried tone, which sounded clear and cold, and his voice was mixed with imperceptible curiosity.

That prince...is still Xiao Langjun's savior.

He is like a piece of frozen jade, those weak emotions are always so difficult to detect, but once you gain his trust, you can easily approach his emotions, and you can see the softness under the ice.

It was an existence that even Yu Yu himself didn't know about.

The big cat is lurking, the big cat is quiet.

Li Chengqian is listening.

It is undeniable that the killing intent that once existed seems to have disappeared.He suddenly wanted to see what else Xiao Langjun could say.

The next day, Mr. Xiao Lang and the Doctor of Confucian Studies went into the room and chatted for half an hour. Lao Mingjing sat in the room silently for a while, and then laughed.

Mr. Xiao Lang insists on doing this, so let it be.

Lu Wenhe began to realize that Mr. Yu Yu seemed to be reading more scriptures than ordinary people.But at first he only thought that Yu Yu was greedy and chose the method of mastering the three classics, but when he felt that he was also reading the electives such as "Erya" and "Shuowen", he suddenly became curious and surprised .

"Which scriptures did you choose?" Lu Wenhe was serious about making quail in class, and immediately became the king of the mountain after class, and stopped the young man while Yu Yu was still unpacked.

Yu Yu turned his head to look at Lu Wenhe, and said seriously: "Someone wants to enter Shike."

At that time, Lu Wenhe was still holding some odds and ends in his hand, and was about to hand them to his slaves. When he heard Yu Yu's words, he shook half of his hands.He frowned thickly, seeing that Mr. Yu Yu didn't speak, and then he threw his things to the servants, and ran away with Yu Yu.

He ran all the way to Yu's house.

Yu Yu: "...Brother Lu, would you like to have a cup of tea at my house?"

Lu Wenhe said viciously, "Eat!"

Yu's house is neither big nor small, but only a few people are really empty.Lu Wenhe looked at Baishuang who came in with tea, and said after he left, "There is only one servant in your family?"

Yu Yu hugged the teacup slowly, "Sister Baishuang is a maidservant, but she is not a domestic slave. I am the only one in this family, why do I need to hire so many people?"

"Employment?" Lu Wenhe's attention was drawn away by Yu Yu's words, "You don't have a slave by your side, how do you deal with urgent matters? Otherwise, I'll send you two back, lest you have no manpower to do things."

Lu Wenhe's family is one of the principals in Shicheng County, and they have good contacts in the county government, so the Lu family can be regarded as a well-known big family in Shicheng County.Moreover, Lu Lizheng has always done things fairly, which is indeed admirable.There are dozens of slaves in his family now, and the only son Lu Wenhe said he wanted to send a few out, so it was natural that he brought someone to send them with a real contract.

Yu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "My mother is kind-hearted. She never likes slaves who prostitute themselves in her family. No matter whether it is a part or a Hakka girl, she will be exempted. Even if you really sent it, I will go to the county government to go through the release document later. Yes, and by the way, I have to pay them monthly money, brother Lu, please spare me."

As soon as Lu Wenhe heard that it was Xu Niangzi's action, he stopped being entangled.

Although Miss Xu has passed away, she still has some magical fame in Shicheng County.

"Is what you just said in the county school true?" Closer to home, Lu Wenhe brought the topic back to the beginning, and there was some disapproval during the conversation.Just as Lu Langjun was speaking, a large mass of darkness quietly emerged from the window behind him.

"Brother Lu, why are you worried?"

Yu Yu was outspoken.

"Worried? I'm not just worried. I'm afraid you'll lose your basket." Lu Wenhe said in a deep voice, "There are 20 people in the county school. Do you know how many people really want to take the exam next year?"

In this crop of Lu Wenhe, most of the study years have reached three years, and they can start to try to take the imperial examination.

"Three." Lu Wenhe did not wait for Yu Yu to answer him, so he made up the words himself, "Twenty people, except you and the two who are not old enough, among the remaining seventeen people, only those who really want to take the exam Three, do you know why?"

Yu Yu turned his head to look at him.

Lu Wenhe said, "It's money!"

Every year in the imperial examination, talents from all over the world gather in Chang'an City, trying to jump the dragon's gate with a carp, but the number of people who pass the imperial examination every year is as high as a dozen!For those who fail to pass the rankings, the time they spend going back and forth between the place of residence and Chang'an City every year is even more than the time they spend studying.But if they want to live in Chang'an City for a long time, how can poor children have such a large amount of assets?

"I, Aye, is Lizheng, barely a petty official, which makes the family's property a little thin. But if I don't go here next year, if it happens every year, how can the family afford it?" Lu Wenhe said with a wry smile, "I don't know. Talk about those great truths, and don’t say those vulgar words, what will happen to you if you fail in the test repeatedly? The path of Jinshi is difficult to reach the sky. It is not so easy to reach the sky.” Although the examination of Mingjing is also extremely difficult, but At least there is a glimmer of hope.

Yu Yu didn't say that he wanted to go to Chang'an, not just for the imperial examination, nor that he didn't have a deep obsession with the imperial examination, but he just slowly finished a cup of tea and said to Lu Wenhe: "Do you think it's fair? "

The cat ears moved.

Lu Wenhe understood what he meant, and sneered twice: "Are you going to make me resent that I won't be reincarnated? But my family is in such a state, it can provide me with food and drink, let me study, and have a servant to serve me, which is already better than many people. There are many, and people are suffering and not satisfied."

But even though he said that, there was still unwillingness in his eyes.

Some people are born dragons and phoenixes, some people are born reptiles, this world is so unfair.

Yu Yu poured a cup of tea, put his cool fingertips on the cup, and saw a pair of cat eyes squatting in the gap by the window through Lu Wenhe's square scarf.The unexpected direct gaze is indeed easy to scare people, the dark green light floats in the air, glowing in the dark corners.

Occasionally, he always felt that the big cat seemed to be watching him.

Yu Yu said: "Brother Lu, in fact, XX doesn't care whether I can pass the exam. If XX really fails, then it may not be a bad thing to come back to Shicheng County and be a farmer."

He spoke unhurriedly, but clearly, clearly thinking about it.

Composing poems and reading scriptures, pinpointing current maladies, Jinshi and Mingjing are different, but in the end they lead to the same goal by different routes.Both are difficult, and to such an extent, there is not much difference between very difficult and extremely difficult.

"But..." Lu Wenhe wanted to persuade him again.

Yu Yu shook his head. Although his expression was still calm, Lu Wenhe knew that he couldn't change his mind.

A Niang and Aye hope that Yu Yu can live well, then he will live in peace.But he never had the urge to do anything, and he didn't have too many mood swings.

Yu Yu didn't know what went wrong.

He seemed to be unable to feel the intense emotion, as if there was a thin layer of barrier that prevented Mr. Xiao Lang from reaching out, and also prevented A Niang who was holding him from crying.

Except the death of the parents.

That let Yu Yu know what emotion is sad.

But that day when Yu Yu walked out of the county office, he listened to Li Lianqing's understatement of those lives, and saw with his own eyes the moment those insignificant people were trampled on... Yu Yu seemed to hear the sound of a heartbeat.

It is an emotion that cannot be described in words.

Maybe it should be anger.

Yu Yu didn't know, but he changed his mind.

If it is related to the common people, if you need to get in touch with the officialdom, if you want to know what kind of world this is...if all of these need to rely on reading.

Then go read.

And Yu Yu either doesn't do it or does it, and he always wants to do his best.
