Chapter 3, Cantilevered Thorn Shares, Xu Family has Liner
"Uncle Xu Yan prefers to promote younger members of the clan.
However, not all juniors are qualified to be supported by him.
Generally speaking, they are all the smarter children in the clan.
If I want to win the attention of this uncle, I must pass the county examination as soon as possible and obtain the title of child student.
In this way, a few of the more outstanding members of the younger generation of the Xu family can catch Chen Yan's eye.
It is said that Uncle Xu Yan will bring a family member with him to teach him this time, but it will take a lot of effort.
If not, we can only settle for the next best thing and embrace the master's lap.
At the same time, I must also think of a way to let him know my hard work and diligence."
Whether it is his first world or the following worlds, there is no shortage of allusions about diligent study.
However, since he was born in the Xu family, it was not particularly difficult, but methods such as cutting through walls and stealing the light were not available.
However, the method of stabbing the buttocks with a hanging beam can be used just right.
If he wanted to obtain the title of Tongsheng in the county examination before Chen Yan's return, he would definitely need to show higher Confucianism than the original owner.
The cantilever thorns can not only explain to the outside world that one is diligent and studious, but can also explain the reason for one's rapid progress.
"However, I am basically alone now, and I have to think hard about how to spread the reputation of being a prostitute."
When he looked up, he saw Xu Mo sitting opposite, and his eyes lit up.
Isn't the most suitable candidate sitting right in front of me?
Although my brother-in-law has a good nature, he is a big mouth and will tell everyone about any interesting things he encounters.
And I happen to be in the same house as him, so as long as I do something as shocking as hanging from a beam and stabbing my buttocks, he will definitely report it.
Once your provocative behavior and gradually revealed knowledge are taken seriously by the Xu family, you will be considered a success.
"This is a pretty good start. Ning Caichen, the Divine Sword of the Fierce Sun, is here. If others are distracted, they may not be able to think of this method."
At this time, it was summer time. After lunch, the students in the private school would go back to the house to take a nap for an hour so that they could be more energetic when the Master lectured in the afternoon.
When he returned to the house, Xu Mo went straight to the bed and saw Chen Hongyu sitting down at the desk. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brother Ping, why don't you take a nap? If you fall asleep during Master's lecture in the afternoon, you will be punished by the ruler."
"No, you go to bed first, I'll be reading the Book of Songs for a while." Chen Hongyu shook his head.
Although his soul is weak, he is much better than ordinary people after all, and it is not a big deal if he sleeps less for a day.
The day passed quickly, and as the night grew darker, each Xu family student fell asleep in their respective houses.
Xu Mo opened his eyes drowsily, feeling a sense of urgency coming from his lower body, and rushed out quickly, not caring about why there were still lights on in the house at this time.
After going to the toilet, Xu Mo returned to the house with a comfortable look on his face, but saw Chen Hongyu in front of his desk.
Above the top of his head, a rope hung down and was tied to his head. Every time Chen Hongyu lowered his head to sleep, his hair would be pulled by the rope and he would wake up.
"Brother Ping!" Xu Mo was shocked.
When Chen Hongyu heard this, he stood up and turned around with a tired look on his face: "Shh, don't tell anyone!"
Xu Mo nodded when he heard the words, but hesitated when he was about to speak, but was signaled by Chen Hongyu to go to bed.
Looking at Xu Mo who fell asleep again, Chen Hongyu secretly smiled in his heart. Previously, it was just for show. With Xu Mo's temperament, he would not be able to bear the news of his behavior for a long time.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
As Chen Hongyu expected, Xu Mo really couldn't endure it for too long. After about ten days, everyone knew about his affair with strangulation.
In the dead of night, Chen Hongyu read at night by the light of day as usual.
"The rules of this world are strange, and it is a bit difficult to practice the Immortal Way. Otherwise, even if you can only cast some small spells, you can still achieve good results.
Now, with Xu Mo's help in spreading the word, the story of me hanging on my buttocks and reading at night has been widely spread, and must have reached the ears of the family's senior officials.
Next, as long as I show more talent, even if I have a high chance of becoming a scholar, I will definitely be valued by the clan.
Of course, it would be better if I could be valued by Uncle Xu Yan, who is about to return."
The Xu family can barely be considered an aristocratic family. There are two people in the family who have passed the state examination. Therefore, it can be said that it is deeply rooted in Lingchuan County. Even in Tianshui County, it is considered a prominent family.
There are more than a dozen scholars in the clan. Although Xu Yan can be regarded as a scholar, it was only by chance that he got to know a noble person and the support from the clan that he reached this point.
It can be said that the entire Xu family, that is, the two juren, have similar status and achievements to him.
At this moment, Chen Hongyu vaguely heard some footsteps outside the house.
"Master is here again?"
Even though the soul is weak, Chen Hongyu can still detect some differences.
It is also possible to practice in this world, but the way of practice is Confucianism, and only by gaining the title of the imperial court can you break the seal of heaven and earth and start practicing.
The master's name is Xu Wen. He passed the government examination more than 20 years ago and achieved the title of scholar.
But after that, he did not enter the official career, but stayed in his family's private school to teach the younger generations knowledge.
Although he has no position, his wife's status in the family is extremely high.
On the one hand, he gave up his official career and taught the younger generations of his family. He already had a good reputation and was respected by his family.
On the other hand, he was not only well-known in the literary circles of Tianshui County, but also taught Xu Yan, a general judge.
It is said that although Xu Yan's talent was quite good at that time, he was not outstanding, but his attitude of studying hard impressed his master, so he took the time to teach this junior.
Moreover, Xu Yan had just entered his official career, and the master also provided a lot of help through his own connections. Therefore, Xu Yan had always respected the master.
Combining various factors, Master can be regarded as the hidden old golden-fingered grandfather in Novice Village.
Since a few days ago, he could notice that the master would come to the window and stand for a while every midnight, so he paid more attention to his daily performance.
After all, if you can't be taught by Uncle Xu Yan, then it's not bad to be valued by your master.
At this time, outside the house, Master Xu Wen stood quietly in the night, looking at the shadow reflected in the window of the house, and couldn't help but smile.
“Although talent is important, diligence is also important.
Brother Ping used to be relatively smart, but recently he seems to have had an enlightenment and has become a lot smarter.
Coupled with the fact that he is working so hard now and helping me so much, there is no chance that he will have the chance to reach Yan'er's level in the future."
