A father and son walked in front, walking around the blue brick path towards the study building behind.

The father was about forty years old, tall and thin, with a goatee, and the little boy was eight or nine years old, white and fat, and he was dancing at the flowers by the roadside with the wooden sword he had just bought.

The little boy's eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, and he turned his head and yelled at his father that he would not study, saying that he would become a general in the future, but his father directly slapped him on the back of the head.

Seeing that this member was fighting really hard, Lin Haoran, a bystander, couldn't help grinning, and adhered to the principle of watching the excitement and not thinking it was a big deal, silently paying attention to the father and son to see if there would be a murder.

But I heard this member glaring and scolding angrily: "Don't say that our family is not a military household!" Even if you really have the ability to exchange your life for military exploits, make you a general soldier, or even make a marquis, what can you do? I use literature to control the military, a small imperial history can manage you to the death, high-ranking officials dare to point at your nose and scold you Lao Tzu, are you in a muddy mind, even thinking about being a soldier? ”

The little boy covered the back of his aching head, but he was stubborn and did not change, or he resisted reading in his heart, and his eyes rolled and said: "Our family is making medicinal materials, so I will be in business!" I want to do business in Guangzhou Mansion and go to the capital, and like Shen Wansan, I will become the richest ...... in the world."

Ah......

Before he finished his words this time, he hit the back of his head again, and his father scolded with hatred: "Since you know Shen Wansan, then you still say such crazy words!" What about the richest man in the world? What about Wanguan's wealth? Hasn't he been raided and exiled to Yunnan? Who is richer than Zhixian in our family? Isn't Lao Tzu respectful every time he sees the magistrate? ”

"Then what do you say?" The little boy learned to be obedient this time, covering his head with his hands, and looking at his father pitifully with his eyes, and at the same time proving the scientific nature of the filial son of the stick.

The staff stroked his goatee, looked up at the book building with satisfaction, and said with infinite yearning: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high!" Don't be stubborn, study hard here, and you will have a bright future in the future. If you are a student, you can see that the official does not worship, and you can also get the support of the state; If you win the lift, I will help you get a real shortage even if I scatter all my family wealth, but I am afraid that I will get the head of the county in one time! ”

It's not that he's worried about the lack of financial resources, but that officialdom has a complete set of rules of the game. The first-class jinshi despises the third-class jinshi, and the third-class jinshi will despise the lifting officer, and the promotion of officialdom has a very important relationship with fame.

Even if it is Yan Shifan, the son of Shoufu Yan Hao, his ability is undoubtedly enough, and his background is even more terrifying, but due to his background, even if he reaches the end of the six Shangshu, he will not have the opportunity to enter the cabinet in his life, otherwise he will be attacked by the entire Shilin.

This is especially true for lifting people, if there are no special circumstances, it is generally difficult to get an inch in the county.

The little boy was in high spirits, raised the wooden sword in his hand and said heroically: "I want to be a big official, I want to be a governor!" ”

"Then you have to study harder and get into the Jinshi!" The staff was categorical, and at the same time, he stroked his goatee with envy and said: "Today's court officials, which one is not a first-class and second-class jinshi, today's Yan Ge is always a second-class jinshi, and Xu Ge is always a Tanhualang." If you take the Jinshi exam, not to mention the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy and the Sixth Department of Kedao, even the worst arrangement is Zhixian. As for the governor, as long as it is properly operated, this is not out of reach! In short, as long as you study hard, anything is possible in today's holy pilgrimage! ”

The little boy put away the wooden sword and asked with shining eyes, "Then can I lead the troops to fight?" ”

Lin Haoran thought that he would get a back of the head, but unexpectedly, he stroked his goatee and said with a smile like a worldly master: "The military department of the Ming Dynasty was controlled by civilian officials, and the appointment power of the army was in the military department. If you can really get into the Jinshi, you will have a chance to lead thousands of troops! ”

The little boy's eyes were full of anticipation, and his pace unconsciously quickened a little. Originally, he was still annoyed with such books as if they were books from heaven, but at this moment, he seemed to have infinite motivation, and he couldn't wait to participate in the imperial examination tomorrow.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high!

Lin Haoran did not continue to go towards the study building, but stood in place and looked at the father and son in the distance, and had some feelings in his heart, and something was faintly sprouting.

This is different from the 21st century, which is an era of agriculture and industry, where the status of businessmen is at the lowest level, while the status of civil servants is infinitely higher.

In his previous life, he actually had the opportunity to become a civil servant, but on the eve of signing up, a beautiful policeman was charged with molesting women, otherwise he might not have to be reborn, and he had the opportunity to become the mayor or a high-ranking official.

"The predicate of destiny is sex; Spontaneous nature is called the Tao; Monasticism is a ...... of teaching"

He walked up a wooden ladder and came to a lecture hall full of ancient charm. There were several half-height wooden windows on both sides of the lecture hall, the bamboo curtains of which had been rolled up, and the afternoon sun was falling on the wooden cracks of the floor like mischievous elves.

Lin Haoran saw the situation inside through the window, there were more than 20 children shaking their heads and reading aloud in the lecture hall, and two children shared a table, both between the ages of eight and nine, on which were placed paper, ink, pen and inkstone and a copy of "The Mean".

In front of the children, a little old man in his fifties sat at the table with tea, his eyes slightly closed, his head and upper body swaying slightly, but he didn't know whether he was intoxicated by the tea or the avenue of the sages.

On the wall behind him is a portrait of Confucius, the sage of the ages.

"To neutralize, heaven is in the right place, and all things are nurtured. ……”

Lin Haoran's mind clearly appeared the full text of the entire "The Mean", as if these things had already been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and they would not be forgotten no matter what.

Faintly, he felt that he had the ability to take the exam! And from the words of the third master, it can be known that the original owner of this body turned out to be the strong competitiveness of the head of the county test, which shows that the original owner of the body is indeed outstanding.

Is this a temptation or a trap?

Lin Haoran has never been an impulsive person, and he has always thought carefully before acting, and rarely does the fact that he can't do it. Maybe it's this quality of his that made him not rich and wealthy in his previous life, but it wasn't too bad.

Coming out of the academy, he watched a carriage pass in front of him, and looked slightly puzzled in the direction in which the carriage was traveling. It turned out that Jiangcun was in a traffic fortress, and he knew that the road through the county seat was the opposite, but he didn't know where this end was leading.

After standing for a while, he was about to go home, but he saw a boy walking straight towards him with two entourages.

The boy was tall, with red lips and teeth, but his face was freckled, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a painting fan in his hand, which was swaying gently, with a smug smile on his face.

Lin Haoran stood in place, quietly looking at this boy who came towards him, and already had some guesses in his heart, it was estimated that he knew this person, and it might be friend or foe.

"Yo! Lin Ruoyu, how did you start selling firewood for a living! ”

As a result, as soon as the other party spoke out, it was a little mocking.

Lin Haoran instantly determined that this person was definitely an old acquaintance, and it was likely to be someone from Jiangfu. It is estimated that the person named the third master mentioned himself to him, and he asked Steward Zhao to inquire, so he knew that he had been selling firewood for a living in recent days.

"Just begging for food!" Lin Haoran said with a smile, he didn't think it was a shameful thing to sell firewood, but he didn't want to have too much contact with this person, so he gave his leave.

Brother Gongzi stopped him and said with a smile: "You have to leave so soon? Isn't it that you've made money these days and are in a hurry to take the exam? In that case, I can send you a car to give you a ride, and save you any more trouble! ”

Lin Haoran heard that there was something in this, and there must be some privacy that he didn't know, but he still didn't want to have too much interaction with this person, so he smiled and said, "No need, I won't go to the exam!" ”

When Brother Gongzi heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, but when he saw that Lin Haoran was really leaving, he stopped laughing and said, "It's understandable that you don't want fame, but don't you even want your sister?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Haoran immediately stopped, and his eyes flashed with a fierce color.
