Dongsheng Shenzhou, Aolai Country.

Speaking of which, Aolai Country is a great country in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and it can be said to be a prominent country. Its Kyoto is the center of Aolai Country.

The nobles, nobles, princes and nobles are not a minority in Kyoto, and the only way for ordinary people to join the ranks of these nobles is to take the imperial examinations and high school.

Therefore, the imperial examination has become the only way for poor students to advance. They have studied hard for ten years in order to stand out in this imperial examination and be valued by the court.

Kyoto.

It has been more than a year since Ye Xuan accompanied Li Youyun to Kyoto, but it took half a year for them to travel from Lotus Village to Kyoto.

The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and evil people are rampant, and even demons are eating people. Li Youyun has experienced too many unimaginable hardships along the way.

Robbers robbed, demons attacked, and heavy rain. Various natural and man-made disasters can be said to be accompanied by Li Youyun. He even suffered from wind and cold symptoms on the way to Beijing and almost died.

Mortals are extremely miserable. They only say that students from all walks of life gathered in the capital for this imperial examination. It is easy for students from wealthy families to ask for protection and can also be guaranteed for food, clothing, housing and transportation. But if they encounter monsters and ghosts, they can only sigh of bad luck.

Not to mention poor students, they lack food and clothing on this distant road, and they may not be able to afford to be sick or be intercepted by robbers. They can only reach the capital after experiencing many ups and downs.

Therefore, the first level of the imperial examination is the way to take the exam in Beijing. I don’t know how many poor students died halfway through the road.

Li Youyun had never traveled far away. He almost killed his life in the past six months, but it really made him realize what the suffering in the world is.

Fortunately, every time Li Youyun almost died of death, he was lucky enough to survive. Of course, all this was the credit of Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang.

After half a year of rushing, Li Youyun no longer had the ambition to leave Lotus Village, just like an eggplant made from frost - wilted!

He was weak and sickly, thin, and had a little pale complexion, as if a strong wind could blow Li Youyun to the ground.

Laifu Inn is very famous in Kyoto because Laifu Inn only accepts students who come to Beijing to take the exam, and can also be said to be a gathering place for scholars.

The reason why Laifu Inn is very famous is that the inn is completely free, providing food and accommodation for students from all over the country for free, and allowing students from all over the country to have a place to stay in Kyoto.

In the inn.

Ye Xuan and the other two were having a meal. There were only some simple steamed buns and vegetarian food on the table, and a bowl of porridge that could be seen from the bottom.

"Brother Ye, Brother Huang, we need to eat more. Laifu Inn doesn't provide dinner." Li Youyun finished the porridge in the bowl in one bite, and there was not even a drop of rice left.

"Youyun, in half a month, it will be the imperial examination. Your body is too weak. You can eat more to have the strength to study." Ye Xuan sighed softly and handed a steamed bun in front of him to Li Youyun.

"Brother, you only drank a bowl of porridge yesterday. You must have been hungry for a long time. Youyun must not eat this steamed bun." Li Youyun refused flatly.

"It's okay. I have practiced some martial arts for my brother. It doesn't matter if I don't eat for three or five days, but you have too weak bones. If you don't eat a little bit, how can you have the strength to study? Don't you want to be on the list and get a high school year?" Ye Xuan scolded.

"Brother, I...!"

Li Youyun's eyes were red and his nose was a little sour. If Ye Xuan hadn't taken care of him in every way for the past six months, he might have died on the way.

He also clearly remembered that a group of robbers blocked the way. Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang defeated them and suffered multiple injuries on their bodies. He remembered all of this in his heart.

"Youyun, I'm not hungry either. You should eat these two steamed buns quickly." Fatty Huang sighed slightly and handed the steamed buns in front of him to Li Youyun.

"Okay, a great man, why are you so tempted? You can eat it if you want to win the top scorer in the future, you will be given ten or a hundred times more." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

"Brother, I'll eat it."

Li Youyun ate the steamed buns in his eyes with tears in his eyes, and Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang also drank the porridge in the bowl. In fact, the porridge was just a bowl of clear water with rice, so how could it really fill the stomach?

Of course, Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang didn't need to eat at all. All of this was just for Li Youyun to show it.

Laifu Inn only provides one meal a day, but Ye Xuan and the other two left for half a year before they arrived in the capital. Their money had long been used up, so they were now in a down-and-out situation.

Of course, it’s not just Li Youyun, but also other poor students. If Laifu Inn, these poor students would be really depressed on the streets.

The poor family is hard, and scholars are even harder, and the title of the gold list is their only way out.

"Two brothers are waiting for me here, Youyun will go back."

Looking at the pitiful rice grains of clear tomatoes in the bowls of Ye Xuan and Fatty Huang, Li Youyun felt extremely desolate. He seemed to have made some decision. He gritted his teeth and left the square table, not knowing what he was going to do.

"Sir, Li Youyun has experienced a year of suffering in the world, and his pride has been polished to a slightly rounded look. Why not just forget it?" Fatty Huang said tentatively.

"Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love and separation, and seeking cannot be obtained..."

"This is just the beginning, let you and I continue to watch." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

In the inn room.

Li Youyun's face was sometimes red and sometimes pale, as if he was experiencing an inner choice, but in the end he gritted his teeth, picked up the package containing pen, ink, paper and ink, and walked out of the room, and then quickly left the inn and left the inn.

"Sir, where is he going?" In the void, Fatty Huang said in a little surprised.

"You'll know if you go and have a look." Ye Xuan said with a faint smile.

...

City God Temple.

The City God Temple is an extremely lively and prosperous area in Kyoto. From royal palaces and nobles to ordinary people, the City God Temple is endless every day.

Burning incense and praying, praying for wishes, vendors are shouting in the streets on both sides, and you can see fortune tellers talking freely, and the noisy and lively sounds are coming one after another.

Li Youyun sat in front of a square table with a red face, and a banner was erected beside him, with two big words written on it: Selling paintings!

Obviously, Li Youyun couldn't bear to see Fat Ye Xuan and Huang fled for him, so he came to Chenghuang Temple to sell his calligraphy and paintings to exchange for some money.

It is a humiliating person and accompanies the stinky man.

You should know that in Aolai Country, scholars claim to be noble. If they show up in public and sell calligraphy and paintings, this will be looked down upon by other scholars.

This is why there are so many poor students in Laifu Inn, who would rather eat only one meal of free food at Laifu Inn every day than take their own calligraphy and paintings to sell them.

"This kid is intent." Fatty Huang looked slightly sideways, and a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

"The suffering of ordinary people is the suffering of life. He can feel the difficulties of life, and this is just the beginning." Ye Xuan whispered softly.
