Cannon Fodder's Humanoid Plug-in

From nerd to emperor

After setting a goal for himself, Yan Chen couldn't help feeling drowsy, and went back to bed to fall into a deep sleep.

Winter in the south is always cold and humid. The quilts in this post station have not been dried for a few days, and people lying in it are like lying in a coffin underground and sealed.

Yan Chen was like this, sleeping until almost midnight (9 o'clock) before getting up.

The rain was still falling outside, ticking down on the window sill, accompanied by the dim light in the house, like a melodious lullaby.

Yan Chen couldn't help yawning.

He hadn't slept enough and was awakened by Geng Ming.

The bearded man looked at him worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong with your body?"

When Geng Ming was still in the nursing home, he heard people in the mansion say that the young master had to get up to study every day before Chen Shi (7 o'clock), and it was the same in all seasons of the year, no matter whether it was cold or hot.

Geng Ming didn't believe it before, but after traveling with Yan Chen for a few days, he discovered that the rumors were actually true.

However, such a hard-working young master didn't wake up until Sishi today!

Geng Ming couldn't help feeling anxious: He's just a big boss, what if the son is really sick and he can't take care of him?

Being stared at so caringly, Yan Chen was silent for a moment.

He remembered the loud snoring that tormented him in the middle of the night last night.

But a gentleman like him, how can he blame Geng Ming for such a trivial matter?The other party was a narrow plank that had slept all night.

Yan Chen turned his back on customers, and said in a warm voice, "I'm fine, but I'm a little tired from the exhaustion of traveling and traveling."

"It's you, you snored loudly last night, but your nose was stuffy? Later, I'll ask the proprietress for a bowl of ginger soup to drive you away from the cold."

Geng Ming's face became hot.

He actually forgot that when he didn't sleep well, he started to snore.

Last night he must have been arguing for the young master to rest.

But the young master not only didn't blame him, but also cared about his body instead.

Geng Ming was moved, but at the same time he was even more embarrassed to explain his rejection.

He then nodded: "Yes, it's a stuffy nose, Geng Ming thanked you, Young Master."

Yan Chen smiled, got dressed and went to have breakfast.

Breakfast is included in the accommodation fee, and the post station charges are already cheap, so it is impossible to have any luxurious meal for breakfast.

One steamed bun per person, one bowl of clear porridge, and one dish of pickles, this is already a very conscientious configuration.

Yan Chen wanted ginger soup, so he and Geng Ming returned to the lobby with the porridge and found an empty table in the corner to sit down.

This place is located at the junction of the two counties. It is remote and the business is usually cold.

Only at the end of January every year, when the students go to Beijing to take the exam, will it be as lively as it is today.

——It’s just that the roads in ancient times were narrow and uneven, and the roads traveled by the wheels of the predecessors were all roads.

When there are too many people, they start off in batches, so there are still many candidates staying here with nothing to do, so they simply chat and exchange knowledge in the lobby.

It is not easy to find an empty table.

As soon as Yan Chen sat down, he found that the table next to him was unfortunately occupied by the four people who were traveling with him.

Several people had obviously had breakfast, and they were either holding scrolls in their hands or drinking cups of hot tea.

Seeing that he has been missing, but now he came over with porridge, four people looked sideways, two frowned, and one chuckled: "Brother Yan, what's the matter? I woke up to read books at six o'clock a few days ago. ? Why did it start only today?"

"Isn't it because you were so absorbed in reading that you even forgot to eat breakfast?"

Yan Chen scooped the pickles into the porridge and mixed them with a spoon, then turned her head to look at the speaker.

This person's surname is Zheng, his name is Tianyan, he was born in a rich peasant, and he is close to Qi Shu, who is also a businessman like Yan Chen.

In addition to these two people, among the four people traveling together, there is also Shi Huaiguang who came from a poor family.

The other is surnamed Lu, full name Lu Weizhou. The Lu family is a well-known scholarly family in Suzhou. The family has studied and practiced calligraphy for generations, and the minimum achievement is a scholar.

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants can now become officials, but the chain of discrimination within the literati still exists.

The five of them are classmates, but because Yan Chen often lives at home, he doesn't know the others very well.

Zheng Tianyan hates Yan Chen because Lu Weizhou once praised Yan Chen for his diligence and hard work in the past few days.

Zheng Tianyan disdains this very much, what kind of hard work is it, just pretending to be seen by others!

But he wanted to get closer to Lu Weizhou, so he didn't refute the other party's words, but from time to time he wanted to stab Yan Chen with yin and yang.

Just like now.

Seeing Yan Chen look over, Zheng Tianyan was even more motivated: "Brother Yan has worked so hard, he has learned to forget food and sleep, this time he will definitely get the first place in the test."

These words have stabbed a hornet's nest.

Surrounded by students, are there still fewer people who work hard?But how many people can really pass the exam?

Looking over with a pair of eyes, following Zheng Tianyan's gaze to find Yan Chen, and seeing breakfast on his table, he was even more dissatisfied: What kind of hard work is this?

"I don't know this young master, what's his rank in the provincial examination?" A jade pendant hung on his waist looked at the young blue-clothed young man who stood up and looked at Yan Chen: "The next one is Changzhou Qiuwei No.6, Yakui. "

There was a lot of shock all around, such a young Yakui!

After quieting down, the young master in blue glanced at Zheng Tianyan behind him, turned his head and continued to Yan Chen, "Your companion said that you can get the first prize, so you must be very knowledgeable."

"Coincidentally, I wrote a new article a few days ago, can I ask you to give me some pointers?"

Yan Chen smiled slightly: "I'm not talented, so I don't dare to give advice. But there are many students sitting down, if you want, you can also bring it out and discuss it with everyone."

With him making so much money, the young man in blue only thought he was afraid, and he was even more reluctant: "Okay! Just wait, I'll be back right away." After speaking, he turned and went to the backyard, it should be a strategy went.

Yan Chen glanced at Zheng Tianyan, who had a lively expression on his face.

Yan Chen raised her eyebrows slightly, and lowered her head to drink the porridge.

When the young man in blue came back with the strategy, he had already finished his porridge and half of the steamed buns.But Geng Ming had already wiped his mouth clean, and sat by the side waiting to put away the bowl.

The young man in blue was quite polite, and waited patiently for Yan Chen to swallow the last two mouthfuls of steamed buns before handing over a few pieces of paper: "Please comment, young master."

Yan Chen nodded slightly, calmly.

He took the strategy, glanced at it roughly, his brows gradually frowned, but he didn't make a sound, which made the young man in blue think of his stern wife, and became anxious, and his tone became anxious: "How?"

Yan Chen shook her head: "No."

Those two short words made the blue-clothed young man feel a sting in his heart, this man really can only put on a show!He was about to condemn a few words.

Yan Chen continued: "The views are too radical, and most of them are empty talk, and the suggestions mentioned are too idealistic, without considering the contradiction between the imperial power and the power of the aristocratic family, which is not good."

After finishing speaking, he returned the policy theory to the other party, and said in a earnest manner: "The beauty of rhetoric is certainly pleasing to the eye, but it can only add to the icing on the cake. You should pay more attention to combining reality and understanding the lives of the people."

The young man in blue stood still, subconsciously nodding: "Okay...Okay."

"Not bad." Yan Chen smiled at him appreciatively.

Seeing Geng Ming who went to the kitchen to deliver the bowls and chopsticks came back, he stood up and nodded slightly: "I still have some things to do, so I won't accompany you for now."

"Okay, son, go slowly."

Watching Yan Chen leave, the young man in blue was shaken by a pair of hands stretched out in front of his eyes.

When he realized it, he was immediately embarrassed: just now, for some reason, he subconsciously treated Yan Chen as his master!

It was his classmate who came over to bring him back to his senses: "When did your new policy theory get criticized like this? Show me?"

Everyone else is waiting for his feedback.

The blue-clothed boy's face became hot, and he pushed his companion away: "Don't look at it."

Facing the students sitting in the lobby, he organized his language: "Actually, this is a policy theory I wrote last year."

"My teacher's comment at that time was almost exactly the same as what that young master said just now."

The young man in blue felt a little ashamed, and turned his head to look at Zheng Tianyan beside him: "Sir, you are right, that young man just now is really powerful."

"I think, if he can't pass the exam, the probability of me waiting to pass the exam is even more negligible."

"By the way, I don't know his name yet, can I ask this young master to tell me?"

Zheng Tianyan: "..."

He blushed and didn't want to talk at all.On the side, Lu Weizhou smiled lightly: "His surname is Yan, and his single name is Chen."

Shi Huaiguang on the side grinned, and answered: "Mr. Yan is the Jieyuan of our Suzhou! As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be able to pass the exam."

The young man in blue: "..." Xie, Xie Yuan? ?

Then he proudly showed off his No.6 in front of the other party just now, wouldn't he be humiliated!

By the way, the culprit.

The young man in blue glared at Zheng Tianyan angrily: "So that's the case, what about you, young man? What is your ranking?"

"Could it be the last Xie Yuan?"

Zheng Tianyan: "..."

Yan Chen was completely unaware of the commotion behind him.

It happened that the rain stopped outside, so he and Geng Ming went out of the posthouse directly to find the postman—that is, the postman in ancient times.

The official postman is called a post envoy, and the ordinary one is called a postman. The former usually wears a red scarf and carries a white bag on his back, and walks the official road.

After the postman appeared, because he delivered letters among the people, he didn't often meet the former, so he also learned to dress up in a similar way, which was easy to identify.

Yan Chen sent the letter, and when he came back, he found that there were fewer carriages parked outside the post station.

There are several people at the door who are arguing about something.

Yan Chen's sight was blocked by the carriage, so he couldn't see the specific situation clearly. When he got closer, he realized that it was his two classmates.

Yan Chen raised her eyebrows slightly: I thought they had already left.

Zheng Tianyan really wanted to leave. After being scolded by the young man in blue, he felt uncomfortable because everyone in the headquarters was talking about him.

It's a pity that he proposed to leave, but the others didn't agree, they only said to pack the luggage first, and we will go together when Yan Chen comes back.

Among the five people traveling together, Yan Chen had a carriage by himself.

Qi Shu's family is a businessman, rich, and also owns a carriage.

Not to mention Lu Weizhou, as long as it is needed for the exam, not to mention the carriage, everything is equipped with ancestral equipment.

Only Zheng Tianyan and Shi Huaiguang, who was poor at home, share a carriage - provided by the academy on a friendly basis, and only need to pay a small rental fee.

It was these two who started the dispute.

——Unlike others, Shi Huaiguang is a martial artist.

However, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, there is no war on the frontier, and martial arts is not as important as it was decades ago.

The status of a military officer is not high, so martial arts students are naturally looked down upon.

The carriage provided by the academy was not big, so it would be fine if two people were in the same subject, but they had one civil and one martial arts, books and weapons training equipment could not be shared, and the luggage was piled in the carriage, making the already narrow space even more crowded.

Zheng Tianyan wanted Shi Huaiguang to ride on horseback.

Shi Huaiguang disagreed.

The two stood at the door, staring at each other.

"I really didn't sleep well last night. I wanted to take a nap on the road, but the space in the car is too small. Since you are a martial arts student, riding a horse is not difficult for you, so why don't you let it go for a while?"

"No!" Shi Huaiguang's eyes widened like a pair of copper bells.

Zheng Tianyan's bookboy—actually his cousin, also persuaded him: "Tianyan has always been in poor health, if he doesn't get enough rest, it will be even more difficult to learn knowledge, since the exam is coming soon, you will be wronged for half a day, okay? "

"No!" Shi Huaiguang refused.

He was obviously very angry, his neck was flushed red, but he didn't know why, he would only repeat the rejection words like "can't" and "no", and couldn't say a word other than that.

Qi Shu stood aside, watching with cold eyes.

Lu Weizhou was not there, his book boy Yuanxiang was putting books on the carriage, but Yuan Rui was nowhere to be seen.

——Actually, I asked Lu Weizhou to go.

But before Lu Weizhou came out, Yan Chen stepped forward and signaled Geng Ming to pull away Zheng Tianyan's cousin.

Zheng Tianyan looked at him with anger in his eyes, but saw Yan Chen pressed his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and looked over with concern: "Brother Zheng is also in poor health?"

He looks so easy-going, his expression is so natural, there is a weakness on his handsome face, and he even has a feeling of finding a confidant: "I understand Brother Zheng, if you don't raise your energy enough, you will really lose your mind when reading a book." Efficiency is greatly reduced."

"How about it." Yan Chen looked at Shi Huaiguang: "Today, you will stay with me first and let Brother Zheng rest well."

"Okay..." Shi Huaiguang nodded blankly: "Thank you, Mr. Yan."

Zheng Tianyan looked at Yan Chen like he was crazy: He asked Shi Huaiguang to go to him, didn't he follow his wishes?According to the relationship between the two of them... Could it be that Yan Chen went out and broke his head?

But that's okay, anyway, he is the one who benefits.

Zheng Tianyan was thinking about this when he saw Yan Chen looking at him with a face of condemnation.

His back turned cold, and he stared back vigilantly.

Yan Chen earnestly said: "But Brother Zheng, even if you are unwell and want to rest alone, you can't humiliate Brother Shi!"

Zheng Tianyan's hair was all blown off, and the one surnamed Yan really did nothing good!

Literati value fame, and there are a lot of people around now, if this word gets out, and even gets to the examiner's ears, will he still take the test? !

Zheng Tianyan shouted his grievances loudly: "Brother Yan, what are you talking about, why did I humiliate him?"

Yan Chen stared at him for a few seconds—waiting for the people around to look over, and then looked at Zheng Tianyan with an expression of "rotten wood can't be carved" and shook his head:

"Although there is no distinction between high and low occupations, Brother Shi paid the car rental fee with you, but you want him to ride on the horse and drive the car for you. Isn't this humiliating?"

"Brother Zheng, please apologize to Brother Shi."

"It's a good saying that occupations don't distinguish between high and low!" Lu Weizhou, who had been standing in the door and watched from the sidelines, came out.

He looked at Yan Chen with slightly bright eyes, walked up to several people, and then looked at Zheng Tianyan: "Brother Zheng, Brother Yan is right, you are indeed going too far."

"Brother Shi and you and I are Juren, with the same status, please apologize to him."

Even when he said that, Zheng Tianyan's eyes widened, his face was pale and pale, and after a long while, he choked out a sentence to Shi Huaiguang: "I'm sorry, Brother Shi!"

"It's because I didn't think carefully, I will definitely pay attention in the future!" Zheng Tianyan gouged out Yan Chen's eyes, turned his head and waved to his cousin: "I still have some books that I haven't finished moving, so I'll move them first!"

The Zheng family brothers left, Shi Huaiguang heaved a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to Yan Chen: "Thank you, Mr. Yan."

He hesitated again: "Then I still..."

Yan Chen smiled slightly: "A gentleman keeps his word, come to my place."

"Okay, let's bother Mr. Yan then." Shi Huaiguang smiled broadly.

Lu Weizhou looked at this scene with some strangeness:

Yan Chen's sentence "A gentleman keeps his word", if an ordinary person said that, it would sound like boasting no matter what.

But when these words came out of Yan Chen's mouth, it only made people feel that he was saying "it's normal for me to do this".

People will not doubt the fact that he is a "gentleman", but only feel gratitude and admiration.

Gein, he is indeed a real gentleman!

Lu Weizhou felt more and more that his choice just now was correct: the nature of the matter between Zheng Tianyan and Shi Huaiguang was not that serious at all.

Lu Weizhou didn't care about Shi Huaiguang either, and the reason why he made a sound to save the siege was because of Yan Chen's sentence, "Occupation does not distinguish between high and low."

He didn't agree with this sentence, but he would have a good impression of the person who said it, so he sided with Yan Chen.

I thought he was taking revenge for Zheng Tianyan's offense in the morning.

But now it seems that I have saved the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Lu Weizhou felt emotional in his heart, and reminded: "Go and collect your luggage! We can prepare to leave."

"Okay." Yan Chen nodded.

About half an hour later, four carriages set off one after another.

Although the Yan family is rich, due to their status, the carriage looks very low-key on the outside.

The scope of the township examination is wide, and the candidates of the academy come from all over the world. If they are not close friends, or people from Lu Weizhou's background, they can only guess the other party's family background through clothing and expenses.

——Thus, even if they knew that Yanchen's surname was Yan, no one would have thought that he would be the adopted son of the Yan family.

After entering Yanchen's carriage, Shi Huaiguang said in surprise: "Young Master Yan, your carriage looks plain on the outside, but it's much more comfortable to sit in than the carriage in the Academy!"

"The space is also large." Looking at the tea on the folding table, Shi Huaiguang felt envious.

Yan Chen asked in surprise, "Is there?"

Shi Huaiguang nodded.

Yan Chen was silent for a while, thinking about it.

It is impossible for Yan Lingchuan to find a dilapidated carriage on purpose - after being rejected by him, he probably just removed all the extra decorations inside the carriage.

so far so good.

Yan Chen was overjoyed and brainwashed himself: This is the elder sister's investment in him, investment.

After chatting with Shi Huaiguang for a while, Yan Chen instinctively picked up the book and read it.

It's just that no matter how comfortable the carriage is, it's only in relative terms.

Reading in the car, whoever reads will know.

Yan Chen was dizzy from being shaken, put down the book, leaned back, and closed his eyes slightly.

His appearance characteristics are very consistent with those frail scholars in the scriptures: he is thin and slender, with a handsome face. type dark circles.

Shi Huaiguang was also reading a book. Seeing his eyes closed, he hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Yan, are you feeling unwell?"

"How about I go back to Zheng Tianyan's side?"

Yan Chen opened his eyes: "It's nothing, you don't have to be nervous."

"Oh, good." Shi Huaiguang nodded, believing whatever he said.

Seeing him lowering his head and continuing to read, Yan Chen couldn't help reminding: "If you read for a while, then rest for a while, so as not to hurt your eyes."

Shi Huaiguang was puzzled: "Why does it hurt your eyes?"

Yan Chen wondered, "The carriage jolts, and the book naturally trembles. After reading for a long time, you get dizzy. Haven't you ever experienced that?" He thought this was common sense even in ancient times.

However, Shi Huaiguang was more puzzled than him: "Why do books also shake? I don't have one."

Yan Chen was silent for a moment: "Since there is no one, then you can continue reading."

Shi Huaiguang really picked up the book and read it.

Yan Chen observed for a while, and was shocked to find out: No wonder Shi Huaiguang said that he has never been dazzled.

This guy was sitting on the carriage, but his entire body could maintain a fixed posture without moving. The books and eyes he held were always kept at the same angle!

Yan Chen: "..." He felt ashamed.

However, through observation, he also found that Shi Huaiguang's mouth was still moving silently when he was reading.

Yan Chen: "If you're more used to memorizing, you can read it aloud, it's not a problem." It just so happened that he could borrow some light to follow along.

Shi Huaiguang was stunned, and shook his head: "No, Mr. Yan, I'm just used to it..." He put down the book, smiled wryly: "Actually, I have memorized this book by heart."

Yan Chen admired: "It's amazing."

"That's not true." Shi Huaiguang paused, and said sadly, "I only have these few books, so I have to read them over and over again."

"I'm afraid I won't pass the test this time..."

The martial arts test is divided into an outfield test and an infield test. The outfield test is for conventional martial arts: horseback riding, archery, wrestling, etc...

The infield exam is a literary exam. Although it is not as difficult as the liberal arts exam, it also needs to write a policy theory.With Shi Huaiguang's cultural reserve, it is normal for him to be so worried.

Shi Huaiguang sighed inwardly, just as he was feeling melancholy, a book was placed on his lap.

"You can read my book." Looking up, Mr. Yan said with a warm smile: "It's okay to read it aloud, it just so happens that I get dizzy after reading it for a long time, and I can use your time to recite it to review it, which is the best of both worlds. "

"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Yan!" Shi Huaiguang was so moved that his eyes were full of tears. In fact, with Mr. Yan's talent, he didn't need to review. It must be to give him a reputation that he can recite and read aloud.

Mr. Yan has good intentions, he can't live up to his good intentions, and he must study hard.

Shi Huaiguang began to read seriously.

So the carriage traveled halfway, at lunch time, Geng Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage door, and what he saw was this scene:

His young master closed his eyes and sat back comfortably, while Shi Huaiguang was reading a book at the side.

Seeing him lift the curtain, he raised his head and smiled at him, quite shy.

Geng Ming: "..."

He actually heard the conversation between the two before, but he didn't expect the picture to be so strange.

If it weren't for Shi Huaiguang's appearance as a man, looking at the expressions of the two of them, Geng Ming would almost think of the scene when he saw his wife recite poems to the master in the past.

The author says:

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
