When the family of three arrived at the private school.

The sound of reading aloud is coming from the private school.

"A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, while a villain is a metaphor for profit."

"When you see the virtuous, you will think of the virtuous, and you will reflect on yourself when you see the virtuous."

"I have advised my parents a few times, but I don't follow my wishes when I see them, but I respect them and don't blame them."

"If your parents are here, you won't travel far away, and you will have a good time to travel."

When I heard these readings, Lin’s father and mother, who had never read books, were full of longing on their faces.

Thinking that their children can also read the books of sages and get fame and fortune in the future, they may be able to become officials, so they feel that no matter how hard they work, they are worth it.

"Sir, that... I'll bring our Xuan'er here."

After walking into the private school carefully.

Father Lin, who had an honest look on his face, stood outside the door and greeted the teacher respectfully.

It was Tang Yu who transformed into a teacher who nodded slightly, looked at Lin's father and said with a smile.

"Leave it to me."

"Okay, this child is more lively. I will teach you a lesson if you should."

Lin's father smiled and put down the pig's legs, took out a large string of copper coins and handed them to Tang Yu as tuition fees.

After accepting it, Tang Yu exchanged greetings with the couple for a few times, and then led Lin Xuan into the private school to introduce the story.

"This is Lin Xuan. You must get along well in the future, do you know?"

"Know."

A group of little kids from the audience answered in their voices.

Lin Xuan found a seat nervously and sat down, looking at Xiaomei sitting next to the window from time to time.

Seeing the ponytail tied to the back of her head, he couldn't help but want to reach out to fiddle with it, thinking of her cute look of chasing her and beating her.

After starting to study and learn to read in a private school, Lin Xuan began to be able to memorize the words of sages.

Lin's father and mother were extremely happy to notice their son's progress. The couple worked harder and thought about saving more money for their children in the future to get fame and get married and have children.

Ten years have passed in a flash.

The little boy wearing open-crotch pants was already a handsome young man. He was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and successfully passed the county exam a few days ago.

For this reason, Lin’s father also specially held a banquet for guests, so naturally the teacher was also indispensable.

At the banquet, Lin's father toasted the teacher who took good care of his children repeatedly, and his words were full of gratitude.

The teacher at the banquet had a calm smile on his face.

Ten years have given this gentle and elegant teacher a little more mature, just like a jar of old wine. The longer it is stored, the stronger the aroma of the wine will be.

At least the young ladies present were willing to taste the fragrance of the wine.

"Dad, when I get the top scorer in the future and become a high-ranking official, I will take you to the capital to enjoy your life."

Lin Xuan promised to his parents with a bold look on his face.

Lin’s father and mother couldn’t stop smiling. They didn’t dare to think about going to the capital to enjoy their happiness.

In the future, if you can change your house and hold two fat grandchildren, you will die without regrets in your life.

"Sir, I taught me to cultivate myself, manage my family, govern the country and pacify the world. The students remember it in my heart and dare not forget it."

Lin Xuan toasted his gentleman with another glass of wine.

Tang Yu raised his wine glass and clinked his glasses and said with a smile.

"It is a good thing to be ambitious, but you should not be too ambitious and be stubborn. It is very important to get fame and fortune. If you fail to pass the exam, it doesn't matter. You must cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and pacify the world step by step. You must first do a good job in self-cultivation and family management, so that you can achieve the latter."

"Students remember it in mind."

Lin Xuan quickly agreed.

After the banquet ended, Lin Xuan took a piece of pork from the guy and took it in his hand to a tofu shop on the corner of the street.

Xiaomei is busy at the tofu shop. It is said that women change every time they grow up, and she looks better and better.

Now he has a slim figure and a pretty face. Since last year, the matchmaker has been wandering around her house every few days.

It is said that a master in the town wanted to accept her as a concubine, but he didn't know whether it was true or false.

Anyway, Lin Xuan knew that three peers of their age asked the matchmaker to visit Xiaomei's house on the street alone.

"Lin Xuan, you are here."

Seeing Lin Xuan coming, Xiaomei greeted her with a shy look in her eyes.

"I happened to pass by..."

Lin Xuan was also a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment and handed the pork in his hand over and whispered.

"My mother said that you have lost weight recently, so I will give you a piece of meat to replenish it."

"good."

Xiaomei's face turned slightly red and lowered her head and reached out to take it. The two of them touched their hands for a moment and then quickly let go. Both sides were embarrassed to look at each other.

Xiaomei's mother happened to come out with a pot of tofu.

After seeing this scene, she smiled and said, "Isn't this our top scholar?"

Lin Xuan quickly greeted Xiaomei's mother, and was extremely polite.

Xiaomei's mother smiled and greeted the younger generation. How could she not see what this kid was thinking as an experienced person?

In terms of family background, Lin Xuan's family background is better than theirs.

Moreover, he was good at studying. If he passed the exam and became an official in the future, his daughter would not just be a high-spirited person? It was simply expensive.

She also intended to create opportunities for the two of them, and looked at her daughter and said with a smile.

"Xiaomei, you have been busy all morning, go out with Lin Xuan."

Xiaomei blushed and said, and the two walked side by side and started chatting together.

Walk all the way to an arch bridge.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Xuan raised his head and plucked up his courage and said, "Xiaomei, I will pass the exam for three years at most, and then I will carry a sedan chair to marry you."

"good."

Xiaomei turned her head shyly and fiddled with her hair with her hands.

Lin Xuan mustered up the courage to reach out to grab her hand, and after grabbing the cold jade-like hand, Lin Xuan was extremely happy.

When the two of them are in love with each other.

Not far away, an illusory figure was silently watching the two of them.

Five years have passed in a blink of an eye.

The boy's mouth and beard are now quite eye-catching, and there are a bit of vicissitudes between his eyebrows.

During these five years, he passed the exam three times and returned in a desperate situation.

The once energetic boy finally realized the bleak reality after repeatedly hitting a wall.

Friends and relatives have also changed from being very pleased with him to being gossipy and cold-hearted. They gather occasionally during festivals and holidays, and they can always hear a few sarcastic sarcasm words.

With a heavy sigh, Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly and walked back home with heavy steps.

Lin’s father and mother had already had a lot of white hair on their heads, and they were waiting for good news for their son at the doorstep.

I just saw my son walking back with a lonely face.

Father Lin, who knew the answer, sighed and turned around and went back to the room.

Lin's mother took her son to ask about her well-being, and then went to the kitchen to warm up the food for him.

Seeing a few white hair growing on the head of the mother who was carrying the food, Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Mom, I won't continue the exam anymore. I blame it for being useless. I have been studying the books of sages for so many years, but now I have been getting worse every year."

"Silly kid, fame is not that easy to take, and I don't blame you for it."

Lin's mother patted her son on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Didn't your sir say that self-cultivation and family management are also very important. Isn't it a blessing for us to live a peaceful life? You are too old and I don't think you will delay your marriage with Xiaomei."

At that time, Lin Xuan threatened to get fame and marry Xiaomei again.

So Xiaomei has been waiting for the past few years, and even many matchmakers go to talk about the matchmaker, it is useless.

But after waiting for so many years, Xiaomei's family's attitude has changed a lot. Last year, she even thought of marrying her daughter to the Wang Yuanwai as a concubine.

Lin Xuan looked at his mother with a look of desire to speak.

"Mom knows, Xiaomei's mother said that if you haven't passed the exam this time, Xiaomei would either marry into the Wang Jun's home to enjoy the happiness. If you want to marry you, you will have to pay 60 taels of silver as a bride price. Your father and you have borrowed some from your second uncle and they have already collected enough for you."

After saying that, Lin's mother walked out, and soon came back with a red wooden box and pushed it to her son.

"You are too old, so let's make your family first."
