Back in the room where he was studying, Chu Xian laid paper and grinded, and took out a paintbrush.

As the old saying goes, a gentleman is not a businessman, because a businessman is profit-seeking, Taizong once said that Shizi is not a businessman, but also because a businessman is profit-seeking, Chu Xian has decided to enter the official mainly in the Tiantang Dynasty, this businessman cannot be touched.

The so-called gentleman loves money and takes it from the way, if he makes money with the method of a literati and a gentleman, it is not a matter of businessmen, even if it is turned out in the future, it will be praised as an elegant thing.

For example, selling paintings.

Chu Xian had already learned painting, and when he dreamed of twenty-one years, his painting skills had reached his peak, and even those who could surpass Chu Xian in painting skills in the Holy Dynasty were only a palm.

It is conceivable how high Chu Xian's painting skills are.

In addition to painting, Chu Xian's calligraphy is also a must, which can be called a double masterpiece of calligraphy and painting. Obviously, in the thirty years of his dream, Chu Xian has also learned a wide range of things and is erudite and talented.

Dreaming of academics, waking up from dreams, Chu Xian's painting skills are naturally preserved, I believe that any painting can be compared to everyone in Lingxian and even Ancheng.

Chu Xian's requirements are not high, not to mention selling thousands of gold and silver, just to earn back the money for the medicine that regulates his mother's body.

Thinking of this, Chu Xian also splashed ink, the pen moved with his mind, and after a while, he drew a picture of the lotus pond at sunset.

In the painting, it is the scenery of the lotus pond in the south of Lingxian County, which can be described as full of charm, and the view is as if you are in the scene.

Now that the painting is there, the next step is how to sell it.

Early the next morning, some of Chu Xian's former classmates came to invite Chu Xian to participate in the student meeting of this year's township examination. This is the practice of various places, students in the same year, after the township examination, some of them have to go their separate ways, some will inevitably fall off the list, can only take the test again in the next year, some of them know that they can't just give up and find another way out, and some are knowledgeable, and the township examination successfully became a list of students, and successfully entered the office.

Because of this, there will be this kind of student meeting, which can be regarded as the last gathering before going to the east and west.

Chu Xian also has one or two good friends among the students of the same class in Lingxian County, and the one who came to him this time is one of them, named Su Ji.

Su Ji is also a native of Lingxian County, and he was also born in a poor family, and his relationship with Chu Xian is not bad.

"Brother Chu, I heard that Feng Yu say, is it true that you missed four subjects in the township exam this time?"

He is just a poor student, naturally he has no way to Feng Yu, and he is not well-informed, if it weren't for Feng Yu meeting people in the past two days, he wouldn't know that Chu Xian actually missed the four subjects.

Absenteeism in the township examination, this is a big thing, not only is the list of students missing, I am afraid that it will also give the tribute court those papers have a bad impression, even if it is the next year, I am afraid that it will be remembered, and the impression is not good, it will inevitably affect the paper test, and it may even lead to the judge of the roll not even looking at it and throwing it aside.

This is related to the morality of the students and the importance of the township examination, which is naturally extremely important.

Regarding this matter, Chu Xian is not good at saying to outsiders that it is because of the collapse of the number room, after all, it is convenient for others and his own convenience, and it is really publicized everywhere, and the officials of the Gongyuan will inevitably have prejudices against themselves, and the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes.

So Chu Xian just said that he was absent from the exam due to illness.

This is documented in the Gongyuan.

"I see, that's really a pity, Brother Chu, your literary talent is several times better than mine, but I didn't expect to miss the exam due to illness and miss the opportunity. Su Ji shook his head again and again, as if he felt sorry for Chu Xian.

In Lingxian, he has a good relationship with Chu Xian, and he reads and talks about Taoism together on weekdays, so he is naturally more aware of Chu Xian's knowledge, it can be said that in the entire Lingxian County, no one can match Chu Xian, although Su Ji is proud, but he also has self-knowledge.

"Feng Yu lost his gentlemanly demeanor in this move, and besides, he chewed people's tongues behind his back without knowing the secret, which is really ......" Su Ji wanted to speak and stopped.

Chu Xian smiled: "At least, I took the last trick test." ”

Su Ji was stunned, he understood what Chu Xian meant, but he only took one subject, what is the difference between that and not taking the exam, do you think you can rely on this subject to be a student on the list?

Probably, it's just deliberately free.

Su Ji said secretly.

Although he and Chu Xian are friends, and he also knows that his knowledge is not as good as Chu Xian, he still has a kind of arrogance and competitiveness in his bones, and he also regards Chu Xian as an 'opponent' behind his back, and sometimes, the unknown competition between friends is even stronger.

In his opinion, Chu Xian 'missed' the name of the list this time, although he felt sorry for Chu Xian, but there was also a trace of inexplicable excitement in his heart.

After all, the number of students on the list is limited, and there is a great possibility that Chu Xian can pass the list, but now that there is such an opponent, the possibility of him Su Ji passing the list will be one place earlier.

But this kind of mind, how can it be reconciled with others?

In front of Chu Xian, Su Ji is still the same as before, hiding what he really thinks in his heart very deeply, if the former nerd Chu Xian naturally doesn't know that his friend actually regards him as the biggest opponent and threat, and even if he has the opportunity, the other party is likely to stab himself in the back, but after thirty years of dreaming, Chu Xian, a genius, has already learned the character of his friend in his dream.

In the dream, this friend joined the company a long time later than himself, and at first he begged Chu Xian for help in introducing him, but after gaining power, he began to alienate Chu Xian.

People who are mercenary.

So for this classmate, Chu Xian has a sense of proportion.

At this time, Su Ji seemed to think of something, patted his head, and said regretfully: "This student meeting, Feng Yu will definitely go, it is said that he is very likely to be on the list this time, and once he is on the list, he can directly enter the official position, this time it is indispensable to show off among his classmates, and he will be arrogant at that time, but if he is there, I am afraid that he will ......"

Chu Xian smiled, Su Ji likes to only say half a sentence like this, but the meaning is very clear, that is, when the time comes, Feng Yu will inevitably seize the opportunity to mock himself.

But so what?

If you don't go by yourself, then Feng Yu is not going around to publicize that he is missing the exam, but people like Feng Yu are too small, and the achievements in the dream are not worth mentioning, Chu Xian is really too lazy to take care of it. As for the others, Chu Xian has little contact with him on weekdays, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't see him, but Chu Xian still wants to go, because there is a person he wants to see.

Bai Zijin.

The Bai family is not from Lingxian County, but moved out three years ago, and the other Chu Xian don't know, they only know that the Bai family is very rich, and Bai Zijin is very particular about dressing on weekdays, and although the house he lives in is not as big as the Feng family, it is better than exquisite and elegant.

Among the classmates, Bai Zijin is more 'lonely' than Chu Xian, or, more appropriately, 'proud'. Among the students of Lingxian County in the same year, Chu Xian still has two friends, one is Su Ji and the other is Bai Zijin, and on the other hand, Bai Zijin has only one friend, that is Chu Xian.

Compared with Su Ji, Chu Xian and Bai Zijin have a tacit understanding, just like a piano and flute ensemble, and only Bai Zijin's flute can play against Chu Xian's qin.

The so-called unity of music and rhythm is like this.

In addition, Bai Zijin is very mysterious, except for Chu Xian in Lingxian County, no one has been to the Bai family, and even Chu Xian has only been there more than a dozen times, discussing the book of saints with Bai Zijin, discussing many sages in the Tiantang Dynasty who have cultivated the dignity of immortals and saints, more often, it is Chu Xian who reads, Bai Zijin reads, and the two sit under the Bai family pond pavilion, waiting until sunset to say goodbye.

Chu Xian felt that Bai Zijin understood himself, on the contrary, he believed that Bai Zijin also felt the same way, this should be the confidant mentioned by the sages in the book.

This time, the reason why Chu Xian was willing to go to the student association was to meet this confidant.

Also, the experience in the dream, Chu Xian knew that after this township test, Bai Zijin won the first place in Lingxian and the second in Ancheng.

After the township test, the Bai family suddenly moved away from Lingxian, and since then, Chu Xian in his dream has never seen Bai Zijin again, and in the officialdom, he has never heard of Bai Zijin's name, as if he has evaporated from the world.

Goodbye never to see each other again.

When he woke up from this dream, Chu Xian not only wanted to save his mother, but also wanted to say goodbye to Bai Zijin.

......

Before signing the contract, there will be one change a day for the time being, and continue to ask for collections
