In the thirteenth year of Emperor Lie of Tang, the heavens were beautiful, the weather was good, and the grains were abundant. It happened that the Holy Emperor was in court, and all the taxes were levied. It was a celebration of the whole world and the world was peaceful and peaceful.

The following year, February 12th.

The old scholar in Qingyao Village was shaking his head and reciting an ancient essay in a slight manner. The folding fan in his hand swayed with the broken sentences. The Jingxi landscape and poem written by Wang Mojie, who was personally written by Wang Mojie, who was "two masters of calligraphy and painting" on the folding fan, also appeared and looked even more elegant and elegant.

Behind the seven rows of dark tangerine wooden tables are twenty-three children. These children include their own children in Qingyao Village, as well as villagers from other villages admire the name of the old scholar and specially sent them to the children they attended.

Qingyao Village is divided into two surnames, one surname is Yao and the other surname is Tang.

The old scholar was once the most talented person in Qingyao Village in 30 years. His surname was Yao and his name was Shigu. He passed the exam at the age of 23, was exempted from labor service, and did not kneel down when he saw an official. In short, there were many benefits. Although Yao Shigu failed the provincial examination many times and could not win the fame of a scholar, it did not hinder his top position among the eight villages.

But now, two of these twenty-three children are better than Yao Shigu. One is Yao Zui, who is sitting in the first row. He is Yao Shigu's nephew. He studied hard and could learn from one example. At the age of twelve, he read the Four Books and Five Classics. Even Yao Shigu felt inferior to his writings.

The other is Tangcheng sitting in the last row. Tangcheng is a genius who can recite it through the reading. You can memorize any article just by reading it once. The only problem is that Tangcheng was greatly stimulated when his grandfather passed away. From then on, he was not interested in the articles that were required for the scientific examination. Instead, he preferred the Buddhist scriptures, which made him, a teacher who was determined to teach a top scholar, be too big.

Yao Shigu also asked Tang Cheng’s father to complain.

It is the first time that such a despicable thing has happened to Yao Shigu. If it weren't for Tangcheng's future high school top scorer and his dream come true, Yao Shigu, who is arrogant, would never be willing to do such a futile thing.

Tang Cheng's father was named Tang Gui. He had twenty acres of paddy fields from Jingxi. He could not be said to be wealthy, but he could live a life. Tang Gui himself was a big man and could not recognize a lot of words. He respected Yao Shigu, a man who knew the words and snipped. He was willing to discipline Tang Cheng, but unfortunately he was powerless.

In the Tang family, the mistress Tang Zhao was the one who was in charge. As a typical old man and young wife, Tang Gui, a sturdy man, had no say at home, and everything inside and outside the home was decided by Tang Zhao.

The Tang Zhao family, who doting his son, only cares about his son Tang Cheng's happiness, and doesn't care what he was studying. This made Yao Shigu unable to help but sigh, so he could only support his beard and sigh.

Tang Cheng was fascinated by reading a travel note called "Qihu Xian Wenlu". This is a predecessor's book, telling the story of a sword immortal playing the world. When he saw the climax scene, the book was suddenly pulled away. Tang Cheng's eyes flashed with anger, and he was shocked in an instant. It was Yao Shigu.

Then, Tang Cheng regretted that he was too fascinated and was caught by his master. In an instant, Tang Cheng had already come to his senses, his face immediately turned red, and he looked ashamed.

Although Tang Cheng saw Yao Shigu as if he was a mouse or a cat, he had been studying under Yao Shigu since he was a child, and he had been hit by a board on his palm, and he could not escape the slightest fear.

"I traveled to the North Sea and the evening of Cangwu, and the green snake in my sleeves was bold. Hum, hum, absurd! I don't know the people in Yueyang, and I flew across Dongting Lake. Absurd! It's extremely ridiculous!" Yao Shigu's beard was raised and he casually put the travel notes on the table of Tangcheng, and said earnestly: "Tangcheng, if you read such idle books, one is not enough to stabilize the country, two is not enough to explain the truth, and three is not enough to return home in glory, and it is in vain to cholera. You will be a young man who wears flowers at a wedding banquet in the future. How can you be so depraved!"

"Yes, teacher!" Tang Cheng looked ashamed, as if he had done something unforgivable, and stood up to salute, and was extremely respectful. Speaking of acting, it was Tang Cheng's specialty. He always escaped Yao Shigu's punishment with this move, and everything worked.

Yao Shigu shook his head. This kind of conversation had happened countless times between the two. Tang Cheng looked soft and weak, gentle, and easy to talk. In fact, Tang Cheng was extremely weird. If he had made up his mind, he would not even think about coming back.

"Sit down!" Yao Shigu knew that Tang Cheng was just acting to avoid punishment, so he could only sigh in his heart. Tang Cheng sat down slowly and looked up and saw Yao's jealous eyes.

Yao Zui was originally a talented person. If it weren't for Tang Cheng, he would be the well-deserved focus of the entire Qingyao Village. However, everyone is now speculating about how old Tang Cheng would be the scholar at the age of the year and the top scorer at the age of the year. But for Yao Zui, he just said a few words lightly [Ah, Yao Zui, I heard that he is not bad, but he is definitely not as good as Tang Cheng!]

Since the two of them entered elementary school at the same time, such remarks have been heard. This situation naturally makes Yao the most sigh of "Yu Yu, and then, it is natural jealousy.

Although Yao Zui is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, she would hide her emotions early. Although she was so jealous of Tang Cheng that she wanted to kick Tang Cheng over and step on ten thousand feet, she remained silent on weekdays. Few people discovered this, and even Yao Shigu, who was with him day and night, didn't know.

Yao Zui was very disgusted with Tang Cheng, who was obviously talented but had no right career. He felt that if he had the talent, he would have been a high school scholar at this moment, so that the entire Jiluozhou would know his name, rather than being like Tang Cheng, who achieved nothing. Despite this, Yao Zui still believed that he would definitely be the leader in the high school palace examination in the future. As for Tang Cheng, who was not happy with Shiwen and wasted years, he could pass the scholar, even if his ancestral tomb was smoke!

He had no concern for his own affairs, so he was naturally separated by a layer. Tang Cheng's own hostility towards Yao Zui was as clear as the fire, but he didn't know the reason, so he never cared about it. Not long after Tang Cheng sat down, a unique fragrance of rice spread into the noses of everyone. Suddenly, a gurgling sound sounded in the school.

"Dad, it's time to have a meal!" The girl's voice was like a yellow oriole in the valley, which was extremely crisp and pleasant. This girl was Yao Shigu's only daughter, and she had no name, only her nickname was called Xian'er!

Everyone who is studying here has seen the girl who wears her braids, always with her hands on her back, looks like a little adult, and is jumping off. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is still confused, and the girl already has her own worries. Yao Xian'er likes to be with Tang Cheng the most, and the villagers regard them as a couple. This makes Yao the most angry. However, Yao Shigu seems to be happy about it and does not stop the spread of rumors.

Yao Shigu put away the folding fan, picked up the ruler, knocked on the table, and smiled and said, "School!" The faces of the children showed joy at the same time. They stood up at the same time, saluted and said goodbye to Yao Shigu, and then left one after another.

The children left the school and were about to scatter, Yao Ji suddenly said, "Tangcheng, do you dare to compete with me with Shiwen?" Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Tang Cheng was eager to leave, so he walked the fastest. Hearing this, he paused and said in his heart: After waiting for so long, Yao Zui's scheming was deep enough. Tang Cheng turned around slowly, squinted his eyes, and looked at Yao Zui standing solemnly.

At this time, the sun sets.

The orange-red light shines on the banana leaf couplet on the pale yellow door lintel, reflecting the three strokes of "Shiguzhai" with dragon and snake, and the extraordinary big characters are even brighter.

Tang Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Yao Zui, don't you hate poetry and essays the most? Now you want to compete with me for poetry and essays. It's really amazing! But I still promise you! You decide the time and place. Then ask your master to decide the outcome!" Without waiting for Yao Zui to refute, Tang Cheng immediately turned around and left without giving Yao Zui a chance to refute.

Yao was suddenly angry, but when he saw Yao Xian's younger brother by the window with his left hand, he was even more angry. Yao Xian'er's unparalleled pretty face was a hint of sadness, just like the Westerner's heart, making people feel pity involuntarily.

[Sister Xian'er must be worried about this scoundrel! I'm really angry!] However, in a flash, Yao Zui was happy again! He thought to himself: [Hmph, you thought it would be just to hide it from those children! The fairy girl with a delicate heart has seen through your reality! She will soon know that I am the son-in-law who can truly entrust her life. You Tangcheng is just a waste of talent! Hahaha] With such a happy mood, Yao Zui is like stepping on the clouds, going home step by step!

Qingyao Village is just an ordinary village in the Central Plains, and few outsiders come here. Since the Longqing period, the imperial court built an office road to resist the attack from the Beihu to resist the Northern Hu attack and directly lead to the important towns in the border, it has become a bit lively. Only in Qingyao Village can there be restaurants, oil shops, pawn shops and other businesses.

Tang Cheng kicked the stones on the roadside, and his thoughts were quite restless along the way. Yao Shigu's collection had been read through by Tang Cheng, which was nothing more than some classics, history, and literature collections, which was really boring. Later, some miscellaneous books that Yao Shigu had privately collected were also secretly taken out to Tang Cheng by Yao Xianer.

At that time, if Yao Shigu had not preferred these miscellaneous books such as medical, divination, astrology, and the like, he would not have been able to pass the imperial examination. It was precisely because of this that he did not let Tang Cheng come into contact with such books. However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent thieves from defending each other, and it is easy for Yao Xianer to secretly get them. However, those books have been read by Tang Cheng for a long time.

Nowadays, Tangcheng mainly relies on purchasing books in Gaoyang Town 80 miles away.

The price of books is not cheap, and Tang Cheng's family is just a little fed and fed. Even raising the repairs will make the Tang family nervous, so naturally there is not much pocket money. Tang Cheng saved up for two years but only enough to buy the book "Qihu Xian Wen Lu". Tang Cheng read that book in just two days, and today it was just a review in class.

[Every time the boss of Gaoyang Town Bookstore saw me as ugly as my dead father, I just had a little more time to read books. Now it is not easy to even read books, but I am still short of money. Otherwise, I would have bought his entire bookstore, wouldn’t it be a pleasure!]

[Who said that a real man should not have power for a day, and a young man should not have money for a day. It is really a famous saying!]

"Oh!" Tang Cheng sighed deeply, with a sad face. Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, Tang Cheng had already begun to worry about Brother Kong Fang. Although Tang Zhao loved Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng knew the situation at home very well, so he was naturally embarrassed to ask his parents for money.

[How to make some money? Otherwise, I would like to set up a gambling game to cheat Yao Zui that boy. His family is much richer than mine.] As soon as this idea arose, he was beaten to death by Tang Cheng. The rabbit didn’t eat grass by the nest? Besides, once Yao Zui sued Yao Shigu, the consequences would be unimaginable!

[Thinking about these things is a bit unrealistic, it is better to find a way to ask my dad to take me to a bookstore in Gaoyang Town to have fun. However, if you want to think of a reason why my dad cannot refuse.]

Just as he was worried, Tangcheng suddenly heard someone come to write a song, with a loud and bold song, and it sounded like a cloud, saying: "The body is in the empty door and the heart is in the ordinary, and I will not meditate and practice Zen. The baby is still shallow before giving birth, and the beautiful girl will be full when she meets the matchmaker's moon. It disturbs the yin and yang to vent the sea, harmonize water and fire to moisten the dantian. After the big dragon, lead and tiger first descend, we will wait for the empress to reach the nine heavens."

Looking up, I saw a monk in a long-clothed dress strode in the distance. When I got closer, I realized that the monk had a fat head and big ears, a cute and charming appearance, and was extremely funny. The bright yellow monk's robe was spotless, and the ears and numb shoes seemed to be newly woven.

The monk walked past Tang Cheng like the wind. Tang Cheng was shocked to find that there were no footprints under the monk's feet. The car was crushed by the people. For many years, the post road was full of empty soil, and every step was a pit of soil about an inch deep. Why is this monk an exception?

Tang Cheng hurriedly looked back and found that the monk was actually Lingkongbuxu!

Countless thoughts grew in my mind, and Tang Cheng felt like a spring thunder exploded in his mind. Then all the thoughts gathered into one word - meet a master by chance!

Tang Cheng gathered his energy in Dantian and shouted with force: "My monk, please stay!" The young man's unique tender and sharp voice resounded over Qingyao Village. However, the monk ignored it and didn't even care and walked straight forward.

Tangcheng rushed forward and chased forward. A earth dragon suddenly rose from the post road. However, not long after, the earth dragon fell into the earth.
Chapter completed!
