Finally, through his spiritual consciousness, he dug out two hundred-year-old ginseng in the haystack under a big tree.

After digging up the ginseng, I simply packed some wild things into the space and kept them for dinner at night, and then took the main road to the county town.

When he arrived in the county town, Jian Jian first spent a few copper coins to find out about the largest pharmacies in the county town from a hotel clerk. Then he asked about them one by one, and finally sold the ginseng in his hand at the one with the highest price. He sold a total of

Two hundred and eighty taels.

Jian Yan couldn't deny the price given by the shopkeeper. He just made a symbolic bid and sold the ginseng.

In this small county, one tael of silver is enough for an ordinary family in the county to live for a month.

In fact, by taking these two ginsengs to Fucheng, the winnings he could easily get would be doubled on the basis of two hundred and eighty taels. However, this was completely unnecessary for him.

Because Jian Yi is not short of money at all. The reason why he comes to sell ginseng is just for a name.

Now that he has this amount of money, he can be more relaxed in the future.

Once you have money on hand, you should also buy the things you need to buy.

I bought some simple clothes such as fabrics, pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, and aged rice and grains of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. Of course, these were all secret. On the surface, there was only a little rice grains, and a set of low-grade pens, inks, papers, inkstones, and books.

, and the village chief who helped bury Father Orion yesterday.

On the way back, I took a simple road through the village. The backpack on my back was full, and my hands were full of things.

Just as the sun was setting, the old people and children who had been busy in the fields came back first, curiously staring at the things in Jian Yi's hands.

Jian Yan ignored them, and first walked straight to the village chief's house at the head of the village. After a few excuses, he left a pheasant and a small bag of pastries, and then gave away the other pastries in his hands as usual.

As for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone they asked about, it was simply a must. They said verbally that they went up the mountain to find ginseng. They accidentally found ginseng deep in the mountains after being chased by a wild boar.

Now that I have to keep my filial piety in the next three years, Jian Yi plans to take advantage of this time to fulfill the original owner's wish and read a book.

After hearing this, everyone understood a little bit. For Jian Yi, a child who lost his parents at a young age, their jealousy towards him became less intense. Instead, they praised Jian Yi's benevolence and filial piety.

In fact, there is not much etiquette in rural areas. What people value at this time is whether they can fill their stomachs, leave some money to marry, have children, and take care of their families. The rest of the etiquette is trivial to them and dispensable.

thing.

If the original owner had no desire to become famous, Jian Jian might just stay in a small mountain village all his life to save trouble. At that time, he would definitely not engage in these false rituals. During the New Year, he would recite the death mantra for them several times and pray for blessings.

All strong.

But since the original owner has this wish, Jian Jian must do things according to the original owner's wishes.

In ancient times, if you wanted to study and take the imperial examination, such etiquette was indispensable.

After thanking the elders in the village, he simply returned home.

After arriving home, I put the prepared six rites and bundles of repairs on the table, and then simply took out all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones from my backpack and put them away.

After finishing dinner, I briefly and briefly read through the few books I just bought, including Three Books, One Hundred Books, One Thousand Books, Four Books and Five Classics, which are required readings for the imperial examination.

Jian Jian has read these books once when he was in a certain mission world. Now that he has turned around and read them carefully, Jian Jian still feels that they are endlessly memorable and inspiring.

This time the mission took her to the ancient times, and she became him. It just so happened that the original owner's wish was to become famous, so Jian Jian planned to give it a try.

The next morning, as soon as the rooster crows, Jian Yi gets up. After breakfast, Jian Yi carries the apprenticeship ceremony on his back and goes to the old scholar in the neighboring village who named the original master.

The old scholar, known as Mrs. Lin, has been teaching in a neighboring village for nearly twenty years. He has produced dozens of children, more than ten scholars, and a master who has passed the exams.

Therefore, Master Lin is a very famous gentleman in this area. If Master Lin's reputation hadn't spread far and wide at that time, with Father Orion's idea of ​​a gift, he really wouldn't have been able to get anyone to name the original owner.

After selling ginseng yesterday, I shook off my little tail and went to a restaurant to have lunch. I just found out that in this area, Master Lin’s teaching quality is the best, and Master Lin has a lot of experience and his conduct is first-class.

good.

Therefore, after a simple comparison, I finally chose Master Lin.

The simple walking was very fast, and the uneven path was easily downhill. When we arrived at Mrs. Lin's house, the students who usually rushed to morning classes had not yet arrived.

After gently knocking on the door and explaining his purpose to the doorman, Jian Jian was led into the side hall of Lin's house where guests were entertained.

As soon as he sat down, a handsome boy came forward with tea, put down the tea bowl, and told Mrs. Lin that he should wait for a while. The boy went down with the tray in his arms.

After simply picking up the tea bowl and taking a few sips, he took out the Three-Character Sutra from the small bag and started reading.

The sunshine outside shone on the serious face of the little boy, making it look more gentle and jade-like, making people feel loved. This was what Mrs. Lin saw when she came in.

Mrs. Lin did not disturb Jian Jian, but walked as quietly as possible to sit down, hoping to wait for Jian Jian to realize that there were already more people in the room.

It was just that Master Lin didn't expect that until all the students outside entered the school and were noisily waiting for the morning class, Jian Ji still didn't notice it. He had no choice but to cough lightly to remind him.

Seeing this, Jian Yi'an suddenly came back to his senses. After looking around, he discovered Master Lin sitting at the top.

Jian Yi quickly stood up and respectfully bowed down to say hello to Master Lin.

"I've seen you sir. He's fine."

Master Lin smiled and nodded, very satisfied with this young boy who was studying seriously, "Sit down."

The two chatted briefly for a while, and Master Lin suddenly asked: "Your name is Sheng Xingyuan?"

Jian Yi stood up again and replied: "Yes, sir, I got it from you fifteen years ago."

Hearing what Jian Yi said, Master Lin nodded again, thought about it, and said, "You and I are destined."

"Have you ever been to school and learned to read?"

Simple: "I have never been to school. When I was young, out of curiosity, I learned a few words from the boys in the village who were going to school, but I never learned anything again."

As early as when Master Lin came in, Jian Jian had already thought of an excuse. As for whether there was such a thing, it wasn't that important anymore, and Master Lin didn't necessarily go back to check.

If Mrs. Lin really sent someone there, Jian Jian would have found a way to get through.

Master Lin frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the young man who was watching so intently just now had never been to school and didn't know a few words. So what was he doing when he came out just now?

"What about the book in your hand?"

Jian Yan followed Master Lin's gaze and looked at the "Three Character Classic" that Jian Yan had just placed in an upright position. With a flash of his mind, he understood what Master Lin was referring to.
