Chapter 4 The Road That Can't Be Taken

The original son Zining was almost stupid in his study and didn't have that much thought, but now Lian Zining knew that when the old man was in the army, he had a straightforward personality and violent person, and offended many people. If it weren't for the fact that he was a scholar here, he would have been bullied by these people long ago.

Speaking of which, the Lian family was also a beneficiary of Emperor Zhengde's reform. According to the Ming Dynasty, military households were not allowed to get fame and honor, but since the emperor abolished the military household system, military households have become ordinary people, and naturally they can get fame and honor. However, the children of military households have always played more guns and sticks, and few people have learned ink. Although they are open to them, few people have passed the exam. However, Lian Zining is really an anomaly. She was born with a seven-foot-tall man, who is born with martial arts materials, but she likes to hide in the house and study all day long, so she became the first child of a military household to get fame and fortune.

Lian Zining gave himself a cup of white water, sat on the chair and drank slowly. Looking at the busy little girl under the oil lamp, a warm feeling emerged in her heart.

In his previous life, he was an only child and had never experienced this kind of family affection between brothers and sisters. At this time, in this lonely and helpless time, it seemed that he was the only one in this world! With this little girl, although life was a little harder, watching her busy figure under the light also made people feel warm in their hearts.

After packing up, Cheng Yu went to his Xili House to pick up a package. It was made of some clothes, mostly made of fabric, mostly blue and brown, and not many expensive ones, but it was a little damaged. Cheng Yu took a small basket, but there were some needles and threads inside. She twisted a thread, licked it with her tongue, rubbed it, and then the dim light nimblely penetrated the needle hole, and began to carefully sew the above.

While sewing, he said happily: "Brother, I sewed the green otter's leather robe and sent it to Aunt Wang. She said that the customers were very satisfied. This robe alone earned ten cents, and there were more than a dozen cloth robes on the top. I heard that a new cart shop was opened there, which could lead to Jinan Prefecture in the south and to Xuan Prefecture in the west. The business was very big. There were dozens of big carts, and there were more than a hundred coachmen alone. They went far all day long and their clothes were worn out. They would all be delivered to Aunt Wang. I would have more work. When I earn a little more, our family would be able to survive until the wheat harvest."

Lian Zining couldn't help feeling ashamed, but he felt a little more distressed and sad. After his parents passed away, the family had cut off money and had to go in and out. He was not a person who could do business. Instead, he had always relied on Cheng Yu to work in the tailor shop of Aunt Wang at the south entrance of the Hutong to earn some money to manage the family. A big man was really incompetent to support him by a little girl.

He reached out and rubbed Cheng Yu's head, and said with a heartache: "Cheng Yu, you have really suffered. It's all my brother who is useless and has implicated you."

Cheng Yu was stunned by his actions, his face turned red, but the lights were dim, but Lian Zining didn't see it. She lowered her head and said softly: "Brother, you are a scholar! Just study with peace of mind. I will do these miscellaneous things. This year will be the provincial examination every three years. Although the humanities in the north are not as good as those in the south, our capital is at the foot of the emperor and the competition is fierce. You have to prepare more."

When she said this, her little head was already raised, and her big eyes were looking at Lian Zining with admiration. Her eyelashes were flashing, so cute that people couldn't help but twist her face.

Lian Zining couldn't help but feel moved. If it were in the future, a girl of this age would have long since no idea what kind of shit they would have become. Where is such a good-behaved?

However, he smiled bitterly in his heart: "My identity as a scholar is over, I'm afraid it's over! How easy is it to take the exam?"

Although he had not started reading the articles of sages, he knew very well in his heart that he was definitely not the material for the imperial examination.

After learning from my memory that he was a scholar, he attached great importance to this matter. After all, for a helpless time traveler, such a legal but noble identity was undoubtedly a golden mountain in front of a beggar. After all, if you can pass the imperial examination and embark on the road to officialdom, it would be the best ending. In this land, no matter what era it is, being an official is always the best choice. Haven’t you seen that the civil service exams in later generations are in full swing and extremely lively? What’s more, there are many benefits to being an official in this era. If you take a step back, even if you can’t become an official and be able to pass an official, you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life and will live a good life.

But soon, he found sadly that after inheriting Lian Zining's body, the other memories in his mind were quite clear. However, as long as it was related to the eight-legged articles, whenever he thought of them, he immediately felt a lot of muddy in his head. Those sage articles that had already been remembered all over the place could not remember anything.

According to Lian Zining's guess, it was because he had some mistakes when he occupied this body, which led to problems in this regard.

I can't remember the sages of sages that Lian Zining had read before. Without such a deep foundation, it was equivalent to Lian Zining starting from scratch, which was impossible. When studying, you must not only work hard, but also cultivate it from the bottom. Everyone should have this feeling. When you were a child, you had a very good memory, especially before going to college, you remember everything very quickly. When you are nearly twenty years old, your memory will decline very significantly. Lian Zining is now eighteen years old, and it is really too late to learn.

By this calculation, how can this path still work?

But how can I say this? Faced with Lian Chengyu's trust, admiration and expectation gaze, Lian Zining's words rolled in his throat and finally swallowed them back.

"Forget it, Cheng Yu is so to me, how can I hurt her heart? I always have to come up with a way out, then think of a proper reason, and then tell her."

For a moment, the living room became quiet. Lian Chengyu was quietly sewing clothes, while Lian Zining was looking at his thoughts. Both of them didn't say anything, and only heard the slight sound of lights bursting out of the lights.
