The heavens begin with Hongquan

Chapter 240

"The younger brother in the family has been admitted as a scholar."

Hong Kang had received a letter from Zhou Xun and the others before.

It not only contained the good news that Zhou Xun had passed the hospital examination, but Pang Xinyao also talked about the problems encountered in [Black Water Building] during this period and how she and others solved them.

Hong Kang couldn't help sighing a little: "My siblings have just grown up!!"

The boatman immediately congratulated and said: "Congratulations! Congratulations!! It turns out that you have been admitted to be a scholar!"

"Guest officer, you are not very old, and your younger brother must be even younger. You are already a scholar at such a young age, and your future is boundless!"

The boatman's tone was full of envy.

You must know that a scholar can be exempted from corvee, exempted from paying public rations, and not kneeling when seeing officials, and if he breaks the law, as long as it is not a capital crime, he cannot be punished.

Leaving other things aside, the first two items alone are enough to make ordinary people envious.

Hong Kang smiled and said, "Then thank you for your good words."

Happy in his heart, Hong Kangduo gave the boatman two taels of silver when he got off the boat.

Let the boatman thank you again and again.

The boatman thought to himself: "It seems that the mother-in-law is right. It is beneficial to say more good things. Hehehe..."

When Hong Kang came to West Lake, he naturally didn't really come to play.

In terms of time.

Dongfang Bubai is now in charge, so the former teaching director should be imprisoned in "Meizhuang".

And "Meizhuang" is located on the edge of West Lake.

Ren Woxing is being imprisoned in the basement of Meizhuang at the moment, Hong Kang is not here to rescue him, on the contrary, Hong Kang is here to extract the value of Ren Woxing.

No matter what my character is, his martial arts cultivation is unfathomable, and he is one of the best in the world.

Hong Kang came here just to discuss martial arts with him.

Of course, Hong Kang did not forget that Dongfang Bubai sent "Four Friends from the South of the Yangtze River" to guard Ren Woxing. These four martial arts skills are unknown, but they must be first-class figures.

Just in case, Hong Kang planned to spend a year in meditation by the West Lake before going to his door.

Hong Kang is almost 16 years old now, and his martial arts is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Whether it is the strength of the physical body or the capacity of true energy, they are all making great strides forward.

Moreover, Hong Kang pinched his fingers and calculated the time.

"There are still three years."

Because three years later is the time for Zhou Xun to take part in the provincial examination, Hong Kang must go back at that time.

The township examination is a provincial examination, and if you pass the examination, you will be admitted.

There are many benefits to raising people.

You can choose to be an official, and you can also be volunteered by major landlords, because you can be exempted from taxes. Therefore, as long as you are admitted to Juren, it doesn’t matter even if you are not good at management, someone will take the initiative to put the land under your name.

Therefore, folks have only heard that there are "poor and poor scholars", but there is no such thing as "poor and poor scholars".

Hong Kang thought: "With Tong Yang's ability, if he wants to win the exam, he will have to work hard in the past three years."

After Zhou Xun chose the imperial examination, Hong Kang learned about the Ming Dynasty's examination system. There were only tens of thousands of scholars who participated in the provincial examination in a province, and in the end only more than a hundred were selected as candidates.

There are thousands of people from all over the country, and only a hundred people will be selected as Jinshi; among these more than a hundred Jinshi, only a dozen can enter the Imperial Academy.

It can be seen that the scientific examination is difficult! !

The real thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge! !

Hong Kang once analyzed this with Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun did experience some wavering, after all, he knew it was difficult after hearing it.

In addition, he is just an orphan, unlike other children of aristocratic families who have connections and teachers, and can only rely on themselves to fight for everything.

but,
It is also because of his status as an orphan, coupled with his constant practice of martial arts, Zhou Xun's temperament is very tenacious.

He said: "Brother, I still want to continue on this road. Walking in the rivers and lakes, after all, you live in the shadow of swords and swords, and running in the rivers and lakes will eventually be unstable. If I can become the chief official of one side, then it will be good for my brothers and sisters in the future." shelter them."

"not to mention……"

Zhou Xun raised his head and said with a confident smile: "Didn't you encourage me, brother, you must know that the young Ling Yunzhi was once the best in the world!"

…………

Time flies and the tide ebbs and flows.

A year passed quickly.

Zhou Xun has already made his mark in 【Shigu Academy】.

Because every time a subject is left in the academy, Zhou Xun always interprets it from a unique perspective, and Zhou Xun always has a lot of weird ideas.

This is what he has learned from listening to Hong Kang for five or six years.

When Hong Kang taught the six of them, he would naturally teach them from his own habits. What he valued more was the six people's vision and angle of looking at problems and understanding the world.

Therefore, Zhou Xun's way of thinking is a little different from those traditional students in the academy.

In addition, [Black Water Building] is flourishing under the management of Pang Xinyao and others. Zhou Xun has no shortage of money on weekdays, and invites his classmates to eat, drink and talk many times.
After all, not all scholars are so well-off.

Although it was impossible for the rich student to be moved by this food, at least he felt that Zhou Xun was quite a man.

Even when he was in the academy, Zhou Xun showed off his smooth swordsmanship.

I don't know if it can be played, but at least it looks very pleasing to the eye.

They thought that Zhou Xun's sword was just for decoration, but they didn't expect to actually dance twice.

Although the students disdain vulgar martial arts, they are full of admiration for the students who know swordsmanship.

After all, it is an elegant taste for a scholar to dance a sword.

Even the head of the mountain, Ye Zhao, stroked his beard and praised: "Tong Yang has the style of an ancient gentleman!!"

But at the same time, he also warned: "It's okay to dance the sword occasionally, but don't waste your studies. You need to know that the imperial examination is the right way."

Zhou Xun told the story to several people in [Black Water Tower].

Pang Qingyang was not happy until Wednesday and Thursday.

"Oh, it's elegant for a scholar to dance a sword, but it's vulgar for a Jianghu person to practice a sword?! What kind of person is this!"

The sword came out of its sheath.

"Keng~"

Swish, swish, two flashes of the sword light, instantly filling the room with brilliance.

Pang Qingyang put his sword back into its sheath, and said proudly: "If this Ye Zhao wasn't your teacher, I would have to let him see what a martial artist's sword is!!"

"That's right, that's right." Pang Juan tilted her head and said, "Isn't this the double standard that big brother said?"

Zhou Xun wiped off the cold sweat that hadn't yet broken out.

With a look of "fear", he complimented: "Qingyang's swordsmanship is getting better and better."

Seeing Zhou Xun's appearance, Pang Qingyang's mood improved with a "hum hum".

…………

And Hong Kang here.

After a year, his physical strength has increased another eight or nine hundred catties, and his true energy has more than doubled.

The most important thing is that it may be because of frequent trips to the Qiantang River.

He has completely mastered the changes in the song "Bi Hai Chao Sheng Song".

When that kind of sea tide comes, the sound is like thunder, overwhelming mountains and seas, and the spectacular tune is exciting to play.

Because, because he often plays the xiao in the face of the tide, Hong Kang has also attracted the attention of some people.

However, in order to avoid hurting the innocent, Hong Kang always found a secluded place in the mountains to practice.

After a long time, some hermit legends spread.

As for True Qi and Shui Jin, Hong Kang found some ways to apply it...
