On the way to the private school, Chen Sanlang bought five kilograms of meat and carried it in his hand. Without long walking, he saw the poplar tree in the private school courtyard from afar, rippling with green in the spring breeze.

There is a loud sound of reading, and the sound is childish.

Most of the students studying in private schools are misty school children, and it is rare for those who are as young as Chen Sanlang. After all, at a certain level of school age, they have finished learning everything they should learn, so there is no need to stay in private schools anymore.

Chen Sanlang did not rush to walk in, but stayed in the courtyard, closed his eyes and listened quietly. In this state, it was inevitable that he would feel strange when he was seen by others.

He went to see his husband after the reading sounds stopped and the get out of class was over.

The husband's surname is Yang, and he is over 60 years old. He has a bunch of goat beards and has a clear face. He was a scholar and was keen on the imperial examination when he was young. Unfortunately, he failed the exam many times and could not pass the exam. When he was old, he was dying and wanted to make a living, so he opened a private school in Jingxian County to teach and make a living.

Mr. Yang is a decent person, mature and polite person, and is quite famous in the county.

Seeing Chen Sanlang bringing the meat, he clearly felt that he sighed and asked, "Sanlang, do you still have to take the exam this year?"

Chen Sanlang nodded: "Students need to take the exam for another year."

He has been saying this for several years.

Mr. Yang looked at him and said nothing for a long time. In his opinion, as long as Chen Sanlang was afraid that he would not heal, even if he took the exam ten times or a hundred times, it would be useless and wasted money. If that is the case, why do you have to do this futile thing again?

Persistence is a virtue, but mindless persistence is a fool.

In the Xiayu Dynasty, the exam was not a casual test. The journey, interpersonal communication, and various expenses were quite expensive. There were many scholars who lost all their money in the exam.

Chen Sanlang was talented since childhood and liked to study. Mr. Yang liked him very much. Unfortunately, God was jealous of talents and was plagued by illness and could not take the exam. However, the old man was unwilling to watch this student being obsessed with stubbornness and being stubborn, ruining his whole life.

"Sanlang, I heard you went to the martial arts hall."

Seeing Chen Sanlang's expression firm, Mr. Yang changed the topic and found another breakthrough.

Chen Sanlang replied: "Yes, the students feel that their physical fitness is weak, so they want to learn some basic martial arts to strengthen their bodies. When they are in good health, they will have strength to read."

Mr. Yang was stunned and asked in surprise: "So, may you no longer be in awesome?"

Chen Sanlang scratched his hair and answered honestly: "This...is not clear yet."

Mr. Yang said "Oh" and couldn't hide his disappointment: "Then, do you have to take the exam?"

Chen Sanlang said one by one: "I will win after repeated defeats and fight again and again."

Hearing this sentence, Mr. Yang was a little dazed. When Chen Sanlang saw his previous appearance, he was so stubborn and firm, and always felt that as long as he persisted, he would succeed. So, at that time, he took the exam for twenty-eight years, and finally got a poor family background, blurred eyes, and white hair and forehead, but still failed.

However, many things cannot be understood without personal experience. No matter how others persuade them, they will have little effect. Instead, they will be misunderstood and think they are making things difficult.

So in the end, Mr. Yang accepted Chen Sanlang's flesh and promised to help ask someone to protect him. He had a favorite student named "Qin Yushu", who is now a student at Nanyang College in Nanyang Prefecture. In the past, Qin Yushu guaranteed Chen Sanlang, and there would be no problems this year.

After saying goodbye to the gentleman, it was still early, so Chen Sanlang walked around the Jing River and stopped to watch.

He had a faint expectation in his heart, hoping that the mysterious red carp would break through the waves again.

However, there are white geese, ducks, and ripples blown by the spring breeze, but I didn’t see the strange red carp.

Although Jingxian is a small city, it has been built for thousands of years and has a long history. The water of Jinghe River has been flowing for thousands of years and sparkling for thousands of years.

The water flows ten miles away and runs through a large river, called "Jingjiang".

Jingjiang is one of the six major water systems in the world, with a long history and a magnificent rush.

It is not difficult to imagine that if the red carp flows down, it must have entered the Jingjiang River. The fish enter the river and probably will not come back.

Chen Sanlang sighed.

After a while, he walked home and told his mother about participating in this year's boy exam.

Mrs. Chen listened and said kindly: "Since Yuan'er is going to take the exam, just go."

Chen Sanlang was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Don't worry, mom, I will pass the exam this year."

Chen Wangshi was stunned. She had never heard her son say such confident words. In the past, Sanlang was introverted and had failed the exam many times and was ridiculed. After being more taciturn, he became even taciturn. He went to private schools every day, but he hid in the study and did not dare to see anyone.

If my current son changes.

Chen Wangshi didn't know if the change in her son was due to the last time she fainted inexplicably; she vaguely remembered that when Sanlang was ten years old, she suddenly had a high fever on a night of lightning and lightning. The high fever almost killed Chen Sanlang. He was in a coma for three days and three nights before finally waking up.

It was the sudden high fever that made Chen Sanlang's originally lively temperament become dull. Chen Wang even suspected that the root cause of his son's intimidation was the high fever.

And now, another change has occurred.

"Maybe, it's because my son has grown up..."

Chen Wangshi thought so.

It is said that when a girl changes a lot when she grows up, boys will also change. When she experiences more and matures, she will naturally have some responsibility.

Suddenly, Chen Wang felt relieved and couldn't help but shed tears. If Chen Sanlang could really successfully enter the school this year and pass the scholar exam, the troubles that were troubled at the moment would disappear.

Seeing his mother crying, Chen Sanlang felt sad: "Why should my mother cry? I don't have to pay attention to the rumors outside. When the child enters school, no one will say many bad words anymore."

Success and fame have always been the best way to stop people from talking.

Chen Wang nodded repeatedly and wiped away his tears: "That's right, my mother is waiting for good news."

That night, she personally cooked a table of Chen Sanlang's favorite dishes. Seeing her son chewing and eating very deliciously, Chen Wang felt tears in his eyes and quickly turned over to prevent Chen Sanlang from seeing him.

After eating and drinking, after washing up, Chen Sanlang sat in the study and looked at the books on the bookshelf.

These books have been read by him in his heart and he has memorized them like a stream.

After a while, he sat up, spread out the four treasures of the study on the desktop, and started writing - writing casually, writing aphorisms of a certain article, or writing a line of poems.

In fact, for Chen Sanlang, his writing skills are more than enough to deal with boys. He cannot pass the exam many times, but it is just a psychological cause and cannot perform normally.

But after having that absurd dream of being hard to tell the truth about the false, my spirit was refreshed. I believe that I will be able to overcome my inner fear of the exam room and take the exam steadily.

I had nothing to do all night. When I woke up the next morning, I got up for breakfast, I saw Mrs. Chen talking to Matchmaker Wu.

Soon, matchmaker Wu said goodbye and left.

"Mom, what does this old lady say?"

Chen Sanlang asked.

Chen Wangshi coughed dryly: "She came to pass the message and said that the Liu family had let go, and only had 300 charity bonuses. My mother was thinking about whether she agreed or not."

Although the 300-ton entries of the 300-ton entries were still a big mouth, it was much less than the 500-ton entries, so she was a little moved. The key is that rumors are everywhere, Chen Sanlang's reputation is lost, and Chen Wangshi is really worried that her son will not be able to marry a wife.

Chen Sanlang said, "Mom, I'm not in a hurry to get married. I'm about to take the exam. Where can I have time to deal with this?"

Chen Wangshi said: "You don't have to work on this. My mother and Uncle Hua will help you do it."

"The child still doesn't want to... I said yesterday that as long as I successfully enter school and take the exam for a scholar, how can I suffer such idleness? I don't have to spend so much bet on in vain."

In the Xiayu Dynasty, there were distinct classes, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and scholars ranked first. The so-called scholars were not ordinary scholars, but people with fame and fortune.

A scholar is a kind of fame, even if it is only at the lowest level of the scholar-official class. However, fame is fame, and still has many privileges. For example, exemption from labor service, no need to kneel down when seeing a county magistrate, and no magistrate punishes him at will.

If you become a scholar, your social status will rise.

Chen Wangshi said: "It is not that easy for scholars to take exams..."

If you say something, you will feel that it is inappropriate, so you should hold it back as you are afraid that it will damage your son's confidence and affect the exam to be conducted.

But this is the truth. Jingxian is a thousand-year-old city, and is affiliated with Yangzhou, which has a prosperous cultural heritage and has many talented men. If it wants to stand out, it is no less than a single-plank bridge that has been rushing to a single-plank bridge - even if it is just a boy's examination in the first stage of the imperial examination.

The boy tests the three passes, the county pass, the government pass, and the college pass. Only after passing the three passes were the ones. However, Chen Sanlang participated in the three sessions before, he could not get through the first pass and had no results.

Therefore, although Chen Sanlang vowed to pass the exam, Chen Wang was always unsure and thought about preparing for both ways - his son took the exam, while Chen Wang took the marriage matter at home. If Chen Sanlang passed the exam, everyone would be happy, and with the marriage, it would be a good time for both.

If he returned in a bad mood, from then on, he had to stop studying and live with his daughter of the Liu family at home.

However, Chen Sanlang was unwilling to accept blind marriage and was confused and married a wife who was not feeling good.

Finally, he made Mrs. Chen anxious and tears fell down his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Sanlang frowned and made a compromise suggestion: "Mom, don't be too busy agreeing to the Liu family. You have to wait until the child finishes the exam before making a decision when the result is revealed. If I can't get the exam, I will let my mother decide everything; but if I go to school smoothly, I will have to listen to my child from now on."

Chen Wang thought about it and thought this suggestion was OK. Anyway, it was only ten days before the boy's test started, and it passed quickly, so he agreed.

Chen Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy to convince this mother.

After a while, he rushed to the martial arts school first, and after completing his daily kung fu, he turned to a private school. He had to ask Mr. Yang in person for the article format and some precautions for the boy's trial.
