The two gave the child his name Lu Yan, and in a flash, ten years passed, Lu Yan was six years old, and Lu Zhi, a blacksmith who was still in the prime of life, has gray hair now.

In the past few years, the Saiwai conquest has been going on for many years, the army has insufficient food and salary, and the imperial court has wantonly collected money and grain to supplement military supplies, which has also made the life of a blacksmith worse than a year, and now although he is in his thirties, he also has a decadent appearance.

Looking at Lu Yan again, although he was named Lu Yan, he was not good at speaking, he was sent to a private school at the age of six, but he was silent all day, and only when he returned home did he say a small number of words, but despite this, his parents did not scold him too much.

And Xiao Lu Yan has always lived like this.

In the blink of an eye, another six years passed, but his father was already rickety, and Lu Yan was still silent, following his father and learning blacksmithing.

With the death of the first emperor two years ago, the court and palace fights continued, the emperor was only six years old, the queen mother listened to the government, the court was corrupt, and for a while, the people's livelihood complained.

Lu Yan is still silent, but outside the village, in a teahouse, there is a teenager who comes here every month, sits for a long time, does not drink tea, does not eat, just sits at the door, does not speak, as if he is sluggish, and because of this, although he is sixteen years old, he has no friends, staying at home all day long, looking at the sky in a daze.

Despite this, he studied blacksmithing with his father.

"Xianggong, you said that Lu Yan is not too young, he has not spoken, and it is not a way, I see that there is a good girl in the neighboring village, the two of them are of the right age, it is better to choose a day and set a family affair for the child." The middle-aged woman said slowly, now that Lu Yan is an adult, it is time to get engaged.

"This! Well, maybe it's better to let this kid have more contact with people. Although the man frowned, he finally agreed, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, now that Lu Yan has become a family early, he can also continue the bloodline for the Lu family.

"Okay, which girl do we choose?"

"The girl of the Jia family in the neighboring village is good!"

"No, this girl is too flamboyant, and he also has an older brother who is a village bully, this is not good."

"That's the Chen family!"

"The Chen family is not bad, but he lost his father freely, and his mother still needs someone to take care of him, and now he is here, and when the time comes, it will not be one person, but two."

"This!"

"Then the Li family, it's just that I'm worried that the other party won't look down on our Lu Yan." Lu Zhi said helplessly, the Li family is a giant in the neighboring village, with a lot of wealth, and a daughter in the family, who is slim and slim, and can be said to be a good candidate.

It's a pity that the other party has a high vision, although it is good, but it has also pushed away several family affairs.

For a while, Lu Zhi was also a little hesitant, after all, once he refused, it would be their Lu family who would lose face.

"Why can't you look at it, Yan'er is just not good to speak, but the appearance is definitely in the past, just the Li family."

In the evening, after eating, Lu Yan was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but was stopped by his parents: "Yan'er! I have something to tell you. ”

"Father, what's the matter!" Lu Yan said directly.

"Father wants to tell you about family affairs, calculate the days, that is, the day after tomorrow, and marry you, the girl is the girl of the Li family. Would you like to? Lu Zhi said directly.

"Father, me!"

"Yan'er, you are not a small boss, after all, the army is in chaos now, the court has failed in training these days, and in a few days, it is estimated that there will be conscription again, now you start a family first, and then you will be exempted from military service." Lu's mother said directly, she has been smart since she was a child, and now she has been fighting for many years, although she doesn't know anything else, she also understands that the imperial court conscription will definitely be carried out, and it is precisely because of this that she wants Lu Yan to start a family earlier.

Although such a family became two, there was no excess strength and could be exempted from military service.

"Mother, I'm still young, so I don't need to be in a hurry to get married, and besides, I want to go to the imperial court this year to gain fame."

"Gaining fame? You! Hearing Lu Yan's words, his parents were obviously surprised, in the academy, Lu Yan was silent all year round, and now, he actually said that he wanted to take the test to gain fame, which made the two of them a little puzzled for a while.

"Mother, believe me!"

"This! Yan'er, you have to think clearly! ”

"Father, I have figured it out, in a year, I will come back!" Lu Yan said directly, his words were full of blandness.

"Alright then!" Although helpless, the two finally agreed.

Obviously, they still have hope for their son, and now they are willing to take the test to gain fame, which is not bad.

Three days later, the news of Lu Yan's entry into Beijing to take the exam spread throughout the township, and for a while, there were countless jokes, and even the old gentleman who taught the private school said: "If he can pass the exam, I will worship him as a teacher." ”

Obviously, everyone was full of disbelief in Lu Yan's words.

But the Lu family didn't worry at all, and three days later, Lu Yan embarked on the road to the capital on time.

Lu Yan brought everything he carried, and his parents bought it himself.

"Lu Yan, be careful on the road, if you don't understand the road, you can go to the post station to ask, take care of yourself, you can also take these, don't let people see them." In front of the door, the two old men cried into tears, obviously, the first departure of their son made them full of worry.

"Daddy! Mother! Don't worry, I'll take care of myself! Lu Yan said directly, and embarked on the journey.

The capital, a place that everyone yearns for, Lu Yan has been gone for three months, and finally arrived, within three months, he has slept in the open air, and the dry food has almost been consumed, and now, he has finally arrived here.

At this time, Lu Yan did not go to the examination room, but on the contrary, he came to a palace, swaggered, and walked in.

"Who are you, the location of the palace, you dare to enter!"

"Please tell your master that Chen Yan is here!"

"I've never heard of any of the words, so hurry up." Obviously, the other party had no impression of the name Chen Yan at all, and directly wanted to drive it away.

"Wait!" At this time, a young man walked out, this son looked resolute, but he looked a little old.

"You are?" The man looked at Chen Yan and asked directly.

"Chen Yan! Come here to see the prince! Fatigue and pain. Chen Yan said directly.

"This! Come with me, but if my father can't see you, he won't have to. Looking at Chen Yan's dust, he was a little worried.

"That's the case, then please report to the little prince, Chen Yan waits again, if the prince doesn't see it, then please give him this thing." Lu Yan said directly.

A book, wrapped in rags, but the font inside is relatively fair, which makes the other party a little stunned for a while.

"Alright then, you wait!" The other party did not open it, but took it directly.

His name is Lu Yan, he is not good at words, but he has a natural ability, he can listen to time, his eyes, every late at night, will have a dream, a prophetic dream, even he doesn't understand, sometimes dreams are state affairs, sometimes, dreams are small things.

He didn't know what to do with the dream.

So much so that a few days ago, he dreamed again that he would be divorced by the Li family, and the family would lose face, and then the family began to levy work and rest, and he forcibly collected it, and his father was paralyzed and fell to the ground, and finally depressed.

It is precisely because of this that he decided to change all this, and now he has entered Beijing.
