My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 26 26. Traveling around the county on a budget, becoming a scholar

The next day, the sky just dawned.

There was a knock on Zhao Xuanqi's door.

"dong dong dong"

The sound is endless.

He opened the door and saw that several fellow scholars, including Li Yuntian, had gotten up early and were blocking the door.

Li Yuntian bowed and saluted, and said enthusiastically: "There are still three or four days left for the examination. Let's get familiar with the county first. This Ziyun City is prosperous and prosperous, a hundred times more prosperous than our Shixi County. Wouldn't it be a pity not to take a tour? Already?"

Several other scholars also responded: "There is a scientific examination every three years. It's hard to come to the county town once. How can we be locked in a room?"

Zhao Xuanqi thought for a while, and he thought, it would be nice to finally come to a prosperous city and go out for some fun.

So, he followed several scholars and came to the street.

I have to say that Ziyun City is worthy of it, the streets are wide and clean, the people are full of energy, they look energetic, and the city is full of vitality.

Various scenes are very prosperous, dozens of times more prosperous than Shixi County, with a large number of people and a lively atmosphere.

"Selling steamed buns, fresh meat buns. How about a meat bun, gentlemen!"

"Tanghulu, delicious candied haws!"

"The noodles are out of the pot, delicious noodles..."

There is an endless stream of vendors of all kinds.

The mixed sounds of fish and dragons intertwined together to form a flourishing atmosphere of fireworks. Wandering among them made people wish they had a few more eyes, so that they could take in all the scenery.

The group spent most of the day shopping.

Basically they are all traveling on a budget.

I don’t go to places where I spend money, and I don’t even go to places where I spend money. It’s really just shopping, looking here and there, looking like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

After a morning of shopping, everyone was dazzled and hungry, so they found a shop selling tofu puffs. Everyone ordered a portion of tofu puffs and sat in the store's shack to rest.

Li Yuntian scooped up a spoonful of tofu puffs, looked at the white and tender tofu, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "It's ridiculous for me to be a poor scholar. Other scholars are sitting in the restaurant, and the big fish and meat are scolding Fang Qiu, so we can only sit here." In a simple shack, eating tofu."

Another scholar said: "In order to rush for the exam these years, my family has very little money left. Even so, we can still eat tofu, which is much better than the common people who work hard in the fields!"

The 40-year-old scholar put the tofu noodle into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said with an expression of enjoyment on his face: "I will always be happy with what I have."

The younger scholar sitting next to him shook his head and said: "Our current poverty is only temporary. As long as we succeed in winning the election, we can become an official. Then what kind of money and land will come to us easily?"

Everyone laughed.

They all talked about their ideals.

As long as he is elected as an official in the future, he will definitely be able to escape poverty, eat big fish and meat every day, and then get several houses of beautiful women and live a free and happy life.

Everyone talked loudly.

Only Zhao Xuanqi was eating the tofu nao in silence.

sweet.

Ice cold, very smooth and tender.

Sure enough, tofu brain should be sweet.

Salty tofu pudding, spicy tofu pudding, and sour tofu pudding are all from the devil's sect.Li Yuntian noticed the silent Zhao Xuanqi.

Everyone is talking and talking about ideals, but you don’t say a word, and you don’t even have the thought to speak. Could it be that you are looking down on us just because of your “two-door first place” result?

At this moment, Zhao Xuanqi's silence seemed a bit outstanding.

Li Yuntian felt somewhat arrogant as a scholar, thinking that he could surpass Zhao Xuanqi if he worked harder, so he inevitably had some opinions in his heart. He couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhao, why don't you say a word? What will you think if you win the election?" What to do?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied calmly: "After passing the examination? Of course you will continue to study hard, and then go to the Jinshi examination, and strive to become famous all over the world and leave a name in history."

The purpose of Zhao Xuanqi coming to this world was never to be an official. He wanted to do more things. As long as the higher the status, the greater the impact, and changing the fate of many people, the more rewards he could get.

Therefore, his pursuit is to become famous all over the world and leave a name in history.

Otherwise, even if you become a high-ranking official, you will have no merit or influence and remain unknown in the court. It will be in vain and you will not receive high rewards.

Li Yuntian was really stunned when he heard this answer.

He did not expect that Zhao Xuanqi would have such a lofty idea.

We are all scholars, and we and others only want to win the imperial examination and become an official, and we don't even consider being a Jinshi.

But the Zhao brother in front of him didn't look down on him at all. Even after he passed the exam, he had to study hard to get the title of Jinshi, and he chose such a lofty ambition to leave a name in history, which is really shameful.

He only felt that the voices of the other scholars around him were very noisy, and their talk about big fish and meat, about getting rich and enjoying themselves, had become extremely vulgar, while the young figure in front of him continued to rise, and finally reached a point where it was difficult for him to look up to him.

"Be famous all over the world and leave a name in history..."

Li Yuntian blushed for a moment,

No wonder my grades were not as good as his. It turned out that I had lost a long time in terms of spirit and ambition.

Unfortunately, I still think about surpassing Zhao Xuanqi in academic performance. How can I surpass Zhao Xuanqi if he is so short-sighted?
They didn't regard their abilities as opponents at all. They had already set their sights on a wider world.

His mood changed somewhat, and he cupped his hands and said, "Now that I have been taught, I will study hard and try to become a Jinshi!"

The scholar is angry. He thinks that everyone is human. Brother Zhao in front of him has such ambitions. Why should he lose so much to him?
Li Yuntian refused to admit defeat, nor did he admit defeat.

After his mood changed like this, the way he looked at the other scholars changed, and the party was no longer interesting.

I even wanted to leave this party early. This party was meaningless and it delayed my studies too much.

I want to pass the imperial examination, then pass the imperial examination, work hard to become an official, and then leave my name in history!
Zhao Xuanqi slowly ate the sweet tofu nao. He didn't understand at the moment that his casual words completely changed the ambitions and ideas of the scholar who refused to admit defeat.

Next, Li Yuntian said goodbye in a hurry.

Because of his departure, the following party became dull. Everyone dispersed, and Zhao Xuanqi also returned to his room.

As we all know, if no one says to leave a very lively party, it will continue to be lively, as if it can last for days and nights, and when one person starts to leave, everyone will leave one after another, which is what we are talking about now. situation.

The originally planned shopping trip turned out to be unhappy.

Zhao Xuanqi stayed in the room and had nothing else to do, so he took out his old books and slowly reviewed the information.

Time passed slowly.

Nothing happened.

Three days passed like this, and the Juren Examination began!
