The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 614
It is said that the Tongsheng test is one out of ten, but when Chen Sheng took the test, he found that the questions were surprisingly difficult.

However, Chen Sheng was not worried about whether he could pass the exam. In the college, he was rated as excellent in every test, and ranked first in the three subjects of language, mathematics, and Taoism.

It is not difficult for him to choose one out of ten.

It's just that he knows his teacher and Chen Yu's expectations for him, and he doesn't want to disappoint those who have hope for him.

Ge Zhou is his mentor, the mentor who enlightened him, and the teacher who preached and taught him.

And Chen Yu is his guide, the person he admires the most now, and also his other teacher.

If it weren't for Chen Yu, it would be absolutely impossible for him to study and go to school in this bright and clean school.

He later learned that the Taiping Daomeng Academy stipulated that only children aged seven to thirteen were admitted to school. He was already over thirteen years old at that time, and had no chance to enroll.

If Chen Yu hadn't admitted him exceptionally and included him in the list of students when recruiting road construction workers, the admissions officers who came later would not have let him enroll.

If it wasn't for Chen Yu, he would definitely not have been in the school, and he would have no way to see the splendor in the book.

There is fire when hitting a stone, and there is no smoke if you don't hit the yuan.People learn to know, not to learn unnatural.

Everything depends on one's own luck, he is not my virtuous.You must be young early, how can you grow up young.

This is an exhortation poem hanging in the school building. The person who wrote this poem seems to be the great virtuous teacher Xu An.

The first time he sat at the bright and clean desk and stroked the book with the fragrance of ink, everything seemed like a dream.

He never thought that he could actually sit here, in the fields, year after year, day after day, facing the loess and back to the sky, doing countless corvees and endless farm work.

Precarious, difficult to plan, the rice and grain at home are pitiful, every night falls, almost go to sleep hungry.

Chen Sheng couldn't help crying while eating the corn and rice from the school. He never imagined that he would be able to live such a life.

Chen Feng came to the eldest son city several times, always with the caravan and engineering teams, and Chen Sheng also learned about the situation at home from his father.

The family has land distributed by Taiping Road, and the land tax is not heavy. In the past two years, the family has also had some surplus money. Although it is still not rich, the land is new and not fertile, and the output is limited.

But compared to when they were in their hometown in the past, it is not known how many times better. At least, they no longer have to worry about losing their lives, worrying about rampant bandits, and worrying about arrogant and rude local tyrants.

Every time his father, Chen Feng, came and talked about the family, he always said that everything was fine.

Reporting good news but not bad news, Chen Sheng knew his father well, he knew that his father would never tell him about the difficulties at home.

A long time ago, when they were still in their hometown, they lacked clothing and food. At noon, Chen Feng was taken away by the officials, and it was already dusk the next day when they came back.

Chen Sheng always remembered what he saw that day. After Chen Feng came back, he smiled and brought him and his little sister two wild vegetable cakes.

At that time, he didn't know what happened, he was just happy for the wild vegetable pancake he got.

It wasn't until the next day when he was doing farm work in the field that he discovered that his father's knees were covered with dust, and the scars all over his body could not be covered by the tattered clothes. Every time he lifted the farm tools, it was extremely painful.

Chen Sheng clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, lowered his head, and stared at the water glass on the desk.

The rich don't have to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book.

If you are admitted to the county school and the national school, you can become an official of Taiping Road. Like his teacher Chen Yu, you don't have to worry about making a living, you can wear clean clothes, eat the fragrant corn and rice, and don't worry about it anymore. Eat that bitter weed...

He will never forget his father's scars all over his body, and he will never want his father to kneel down and beg from house to house.

He was going to be admitted to the county school, he was going to be admitted to the Chinese school, graduated from the Chinese school, and became the highest and highest candidate.

No longer need to go hungry or cold, no longer need to bow your knees, no longer need to work hard for the next meal, and no longer let your father, mother, and little sister live that miserable life.

The square and the courtyard in front of the government office were full of people waiting for the announcement.

A group of schoolchildren of different ages stood in the cold wind. They were wearing thin clothes and their faces were flushed by the cold wind, but all of them turned their eyes to the eldest son Chengfu, staring Looking at the gate of the government office.

Their respective parents followed them and stood in the cold wind, holding their hands tightly.

Chen Sheng glanced at Chen Yu who closed his eyes and meditated.

At this time, Chen Yu's eyes were slightly closed, he pressed the table with one hand, and put his other hand on his knees, looking quite calm, but the heaving of his chest made Chen Sheng understand that his teacher was actually not at peace.

Ge Zhou stroked his gray beard, and looked at the government office from time to time. In fact, he was not calm.

Chen Sheng clenched his fist again. His two teachers had no relationship with him, but they taught him almost without reservation. He really didn't want to let them down, he was afraid of seeing their disappointed eyes.

"Boom————"

A loud drum sound spread throughout the square, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the square. It was a signal to release the rankings.

This time in the eldest son city, there were more than [-] schoolchildren who participated in the children's entrance examination, one out of ten was selected, and a total of more than [-] students were selected.

In addition to the parents of those school children and some spectators, there are now thousands of people gathered in the entire Fuya Square, and it is almost full of water.

Fortunately, the square of the eldest son Chengfu Yawai has been expanded several times, and in the surrounding stores, there are still so many people barely squeezed.

Chen Sheng looked at the schoolchildren accompanied by their parents, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

At this time, his father should have fallen asleep somewhere in the official engineering team camp.

The male college was getting married, and he knew that his father worked so hard just to raise money for the marriage.

At the gate of the eldest son's city government office, a thousand household official wearing a crimson eagle wolf uniform walked out slowly. A group of yellow scarf soldiers with their helmets on top of their armor came out with knives on their shoulders and walked down to the steps of the government office. The team stood and maintained order.

Everyone's eyes were drawn by the thousand-household officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard, and the people in front of the mansion were all staring at the roster in the hands of the thousand-household officer.

"call out------"

A sharp sound rose into the sky, and the last noise on the square dissipated.

In front of the government yamen, the Thousand Household Officer of the Eagle Wolf Guard slowly unfolded the roster in his hand.

"The eldest son, Zhao Kang, the [-]th class in the second class of Jiazi Academy, can be promoted to the county school!"
