Lian Erye's Road to Imperial Examination

When Jia Lian was having dinner, Wang Shanbao brought gifts to his teacher. When he opened it, he saw an inkstone and two inkstones, which were the famous Duan inkstone and Hui ink, and they were from the most famous Tomorrow Ink Studio in Beijing.This gift is precious enough, and it is not rude to use it as an apprentice.

"Young master, the master has ordered that you don't have to go to greet him every morning in the future."

Jia Lian nodded to show that he understood that his father didn't want him to go to pay his respects in the morning, because he was afraid that he would disturb his sleep.It's good not to let him go to pay his respects, it will save him a trip.

Wang Shanbao handed over the things, and then left.On the way back, I thought to myself: If Young Master Lian really knows how to study hard and pass the exam in the future, then the people in the second room will not be able to get along.

After dinner, Jia Lian walked around the yard to digest food, making plans in his mind as he walked.After walking for a while, a gust of cold wind blew, which made him shiver, and hurried into the house.

He remembered that in the TV series he had watched before, when he took the exam, he had to stay in the exam room for three days, eating, drinking and messing around.People who are not in good health can't bear it, so many people were carried out in the middle of the exam, and some people died after the exam.

In ancient times, a small illness could kill a person.For the sake of his own life, he has to exercise well.Now this body is too thin, it feels like a typhoon can blow it away.

Jia Lian asked Feng'er to wake him up at midnight, so he was going to run and exercise.

"Host, this system has a lot of exercises for strengthening your body, you can take a look." The system said suddenly, which startled Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian heard what the system said, he immediately became interested. When he clicked on it, there were indeed many fitness exercises.

"I still run first." He still runs first, and after running for a while, he will practice other things.

"In ancient times, many people fell ill during the exam because they were too weak, and had to give up the exam. Some people died of illness just after the exam. It's really good that the host can think of this."

Jia Lian suddenly thought of an important thing, and his eyes became bright: "System, do you have martial arts?" When you come to ancient times, you must learn martial arts, otherwise it will be in vain.Thinking of the martial arts dramas he had watched before, Jia Lian's heart suddenly became hot.

"There are some martial arts for self-defense, but they don't have the peerless martial arts that the host imagined." The system guessed what Jia Lian was planning, "The martial arts in martial arts dramas are all fictional, and they don't exist in reality."

"What about lightness kung fu?" If you encounter a dangerous situation in the future and you can't beat it, you can only run away.

"no!"

The words of the system shattered Jia Lian's fantasy. Just now, he dreamed that he could become a martial arts master and be proud of the world.

"The martial arts in the TV series are all deceptive, the host should wake up."

His dream of being a hero was shattered in a second, and Jia Lian was very depressed.

"The host should study hard and prepare for the county examination in three months." The system reminded, "If the host has not heard of the county examination, he will be obliterated."

Jia Lian rolled her eyes at the system in her heart: "I know that if I can't finish it, I will be obliterated. I don't need you to remind me over and over again."

"This system is afraid of the host's whims, so it ran to learn martial arts from martial arts masters."

Jia Lian: "..." He really thought so just now.

The martial arts dream was extinguished by the system just like that, Jia Lian no longer fantasized, just close your eyes and go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow.

The next day, Feng'er woke up Jia Lian at Maoshi on time.

After Jia Lian washed up, he ran around the yard.His yard is not small and the environment is good, suitable for running in the morning.

Feng'er stood aside and watched Jia Lian run, with a puzzled look on his face: "Master, what are you doing running around the yard early in the morning?"

"Exercise." Jia Lian waved at Feng'er, "It's still early, go back to your room and continue to sleep."

"Can running exercise your body?"

"En." Jia Lian stopped talking to Feng'er, the cold wind pierced into her mouth, it was really cold.

Feng'er did not go back to the house, but stood aside and watched Jia Lian run curiously.

After running around, Jia Lian was so tired that he was out of breath. His body was really bad. Fortunately, he thought of exercising, otherwise he would fall ill during the exam and all his efforts would be in vain.

Feng'er looked at it for a while, and couldn't stand the cold, so she went back to the house, lying on the window sill and watching Jia Lian run around.

Jia Lian stopped running profusely with sweat, and then did some post-run stretching exercises.

Feng'er thoughtfully prepared hot water and a towel to wipe Jia Lian's body.The weather is too cold now, and I will get cold when I take a shower in the morning, so I can only wipe it with hot water.

"I'll do it myself, you go to the kitchen and get me something to eat." He wasn't used to letting others wipe his body.

"it is good."

After breakfast, Jia Lian took four young servants out of the house to Li Daoqing's house.

Li Daoqing's home is on another street, 10 minutes away from Rongguo Mansion.Before leaving the mansion, Xing'er prepared a carriage, but Jia Lian refused.

The journey of 10 minutes is not very far, and it is just enough to walk there to see the scenery on both sides of the street.Speaking of which, he has been here for more than ten days, and he hasn't seen the outside world yet.Just took this opportunity to have a look.

Because it was still early, both sides of the street were very deserted, only a few shops selling breakfast were shouting on the side of the road.

All that catches the eye are antique buildings, which are too dilapidated compared to modern times.After watching it for a while, Jia Lian got tired of it.

Ten minutes later, I came to Li Daoqing's home.Xing'er raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon someone opened the door.

When Li Daoqing heard someone knocking on the door, he wondered who came to him so early. When he opened the door and saw Jia Lian standing at the door, he was very surprised.

"Good morning, sir." Jia Lian politely saluted Li Daoqing as a student.

Li Daoqing looked at Jia Lian in surprise: "Jia Lian, why are you here?" Did he offend this son-in-law?

"Students come to see Mr. because they want to formally worship Mr. as their teacher." Jia Lian said seriously.

Li Daoqing was startled by Jia Lian again, he stared at him dumbfounded and didn't respond for a long time.He suspected that he had just misheard.

"I want to study hard, and I will take the test of merit in the future, so I want to worship Mr. as my teacher."

Li Daoqing was stunned for a while, and finally woke up, realizing that they were standing at the door, not a place to talk. "Come in first."

"Excuse me." Jia Lian stepped into the door and looked around curiously.

Li Daoqing's home is a typical courtyard house, but it is not big. There are many green potted plants in the yard, adding a bit of vitality and vitality to the bleak and decadent winter.

The layout of this yard is very simple, without exquisite rockery and flowing water, but it gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Following Li Daoqing to the main hall, a middle-aged woman in coarse clothes brought a cup of hot tea to Jia Lian's hand.

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged woman didn't expect Jia Lian to talk to her, she was slightly taken aback, and then smiled at him.

Li Daoqing took a deep look at Jia Lian, not really believing that he really came to him to learn from him.

"You said you want to study hard and take the test of merit?"

"Yes."

"Based on your family's conditions, you don't need to take a test for merit." A family like theirs, who inherit the title for generations, doesn't need to study hard like the poor, and then take the test of merit to earn a future.

"What Mr. said is that with my family's conditions, I don't need to take the exam to have a good future, but I don't want to." Jia Lian raised his head, looked at Li Daoqing seriously and firmly, "I don't want to wait to die. For the rest of my life, I want to rely on my own ability to create a world."

Li Daoqing didn't expect Jia Lian to say these words, which surprised him.

"Mister also knows that although our family's title is hereditary, it will be downgraded every generation, so it won't last for many years." Jia Lian smiled wryly, "Besides, I may not inherit the title. Instead of waiting passively, It’s better to take the initiative to plan for your own future.”

Li Daoqing had taught in the Yi School of Jia's Mansion for several years, so he had some understanding of the situation in Jia's Mansion, and also knew Jia Lian's status in Jia's family.

"You saw that Jia Zhu was going to be admitted to Qingshan Academy, and maybe won the exam in the future, so you thought of studying hard?" Jia Zhu is also the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion. He inherited.

"Yes!" Jia Lian admitted very simply.

Li Daoqing didn't expect Jia Lian to admit it, so he was slightly surprised: "Do you think you can compare to Jia Zhu?" , is really whimsical.

"I'm not as good as Jia Zhu now, but it doesn't mean I'm not as good as him in the future."

"Although Jia Zhu is not the smartest child I have ever seen, he is still a little smart. It is not difficult to be admitted to Qingshan Academy. As long as he enters Qingshan Academy and works hard, it is not impossible for him to pass the exam." Li Daoqing is very fond of Jia Zhu It's good, he wanted to teach Jia Zhu all the time, but it's a pity that Jia Zheng didn't like him, so he hired someone else to teach Jia Zhu.

"Don't worry, sir, I will study hard after I become a teacher, and I won't be half-hearted, and I won't give up halfway."

"Really?" Li Daoqing was full of doubts about Jia Lian's words.

"Sir, to tell you the truth, I want to take the county examination in three months."

"Really? You're going to take the county test in three months' time?" Li Daoqing stood up in shock and looked at Jia Lian in disbelief.

Jia Lian stood up, made a deep bow to Li Daoqing, then raised his head with a solemn expression: "Yes, that's why I want Mr. Bai to be my teacher, please guide me."

Li Daoqing looked at Jia Lian in astonishment. He felt that the child in front of him was too whimsical and wanted to take the county examination three months later.In his situation, he was doomed to fail the county examination.

As if guessing what Li Daoqing was thinking, Jia Lian said firmly: "I know that with my current situation, I will only fail the county test. However, I will study hard in these three months, and with the guidance of my husband , maybe you can pass the county test."

Enrolling students is a very important matter, and we should not accept students easily or casually.Although Li Daoqing had never been a senior official, nor had he passed the national examination, he still had some talent and reputation, especially for his good handwriting.

Literati value reputation very much, so they are very cautious in recruiting students.Li Daoqing didn't want his reputation to be ruined by his students.
