"Brother Yu, let's read another notebook!" Su Ziji had already learned that serious matters were printed matter, so naturally he didn't want to waste time, so he took aim at Yu Lu's other notebooks.
Zhang Sheng also said at the side: "It's strange. After listening to it twice just now, I felt a sudden enlightenment. It is clearer than when I read it. Brother Yu, why don't you read another book!"
His last "Brother Yu" was much more boring than usual. Even though he was an acquaintance of Yu Lu and a good friend, he couldn't help but touch his arm.
"Brother Yu, your voice is perfect for reading this notebook. Besides, these two notebooks are yours, so they read more smoothly. Let's read another one!" Su Ziji agreed with a smile.
"That's alright, let's read another one, but in my opinion, it's more important to be serious." Yu Lu picked up another notebook and read it aloud again.
This time Yu Lu was just reading, and his vision went dark again. The previous prompt box appeared in front of him. Su Ziji also responded "Yes", and another pile of experience came to him.
After Yu Lu finished reading, he wanted to ask Su Ziji to continue reading, but found that Su Ziji was sitting on one side, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Brother Su? Brother Su?"
After calling twice, Su Ziji woke up. In silence, he looked at the prompt: "[Four Books and Five Classics] increased by 5 levels (37/5000), intelligence +1, intelligence 12 → 13 (10)!"
Su Ziji's mood suddenly improved a lot. Not only did the [Four Books and Five Classics] reach level 5, but his intelligence was also improved. With higher intelligence, learning becomes easier and understanding can be improved - in reality, Su Ziji originally My reading quality can only be said to be slightly higher than that of ordinary people. The current foundation is only achieved by ten years of hard study.
But at this level, it is very difficult to be admitted as a scholar. Last time in the country, only 25 scholars were admitted in the prefecture (county) examination, 100 people were admitted in the provincial examination, and 150-200 people were admitted in the provincial examination. When a horse crosses a single-plank bridge, you cannot count on your own qualities.
Now that he could improve his intelligence, he breathed a sigh of relief. This joy made Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I have succeeded!"
Then he thanked Yu Lu and said, "After listening to your writing, I felt like I had a sudden enlightenment!"
These words came from the bottom of my heart. In this difficult time, I thought it would be difficult to reach level 5. Unexpectedly, Yu Lu was a big help.
Of course, Su Ziji also realized that the first Juren Notes gained 2,000 experience points, while the second one only gained 1,500 experience points.
It's right to think about it. The same level of lifting people is implicit in it, and the second book will not be as helpful to you.
Yu Lu didn't know what was going on, so he felt a little embarrassed when Su Ziji solemnly thanked him, and said hurriedly: "Brother Su, you are really hurting me like this. The three of you and I can learn from each other here, and everyone will benefit a lot! "
Zhang Sheng chuckled: "I've said it a long time ago. We are all friends. Don't keep talking about it. Hey, seeing you thanking each other like this, it seems that you have a good chance in the county examination! Unlike me, even if I have learned now For some things, if you want to say that you won the county examination, hey, it’s easier to dream about it!”
"Don't underestimate yourself." Yu Lu looked helplessly and said, then turned around and said: "Brother Su, we took the county exam and heard some rumors."
"If Brother Su is in any difficulty, just tell us. Even though we have little power, we can still help Brother Su a little."
Looking at Yu Lu's serious face, Su Ziji sat upright and thanked him, feeling in his heart that the Yu family was certainly nice, but the rules were also very strict. It was not easy to borrow books, but it was not easy to get some money, but Yu Lu still took the initiative. It was proposed. If nothing else, it was rare.
"Brother Yu and Brother Zhang, don't worry. If you are really in trouble, I will definitely speak up."
As the county examination was approaching, the three of them didn't get together for long. Su Ziji used the excuse of going home to review his homework to say goodbye to the two of them. After leaving the inn and walking on the less crowded streets, Su Ziji suddenly couldn't help laughing. got up.
"There is always a road ahead!" Because he was already in the county town, even though it was a bit far away from his residence, Su Ziji still walked back holding an oil-paper umbrella.
When we got to the street, most of the cloth shoes on our feet were already wet. Most of them were soaked slowly after being stained with snow. Although the cloth shoes were filled with some cotton and were relatively thick, the feeling at this time was really indescribable. Su Ziji even felt that his hands were wet. My feet have gradually lost all feeling.
Su Ziji walked through the snow step by step. The boss, Ye Weihan, was sitting behind the counter. He was wearing a snow-white bamboo coat. His face was not much rosier than the bamboo coat. When Su Ziji came in, he was hunched over and coughing. The sound sounded like he was about to cough up his lungs.
Su Ziji showed a hint of worry, and Boss Ye's cough seemed to worsen.
"Zi Ji, you're here, but are you preparing Linbao to participate in the county examination?" Ye Weihan managed to stop coughing, saw him, and immediately understood Su Ziji's purpose. After all, in the county examination, there must be mutual agreement and guarantee.
Mutual knot means that the examinee takes the five people who took the same test and wrote the five-child mutual-insurance policy. The five cheaters sit together (the five-child mutual-insurance policy). This has just been signed by someone (Yu Lu, Zhang Sheng)
If the person agrees to a bond, he or she must ask a resident of the county to sign a guarantee, which is called a "guarantee." This guarantees that the person will not assume his or her nationality, conceal the funeral, use a substitute, or use a false name, and that the person's family status is clean, that he is not the descendant of a prostitute, and that he has not committed a crime himself. Only after completing the above requirements can you be admitted to the exam (Lin Bao)
Su Ziji nodded and said, "Yes, but your illness..."
"It's an old problem. It's okay. But it's been snowing recently and I cough more." Boss Ye coughed a few more times, looked at his feet, and said quickly: "Quickly change out of your soaked cloth shoes. I have some more here." The old shoes are covered with oilcloth. Although the size is a little bit wrong, they can still fit in, so let’s change them!”
Su Ziji felt that his feet were turning blue and white from the cold. He once again lamented the sadness of the poor in this era. After hearing these words, his heart warmed. No matter what, Ye Weihan was good friends with his father and always took good care of him. , especially after his father died, he used the excuse to find a helper, but actually gave himself a share of rice money. This favor is really very important.
Su Ziji responded and heard a "pop" sound. A pair of old shoes covered with oilcloth were placed in front of his feet. He raised his head and saw an unhappy and young face, shouting: "Dad, it's true, even the shoes are too good." I want it!"
But your dad didn’t ask you to get it!
Su Ziji was a little dumbfounded. This time he did not avoid the girl's gaze and put it on silently in front of her.
"And here, put on the raincoat." Ye Buhui's tone was a little irritable. He took a coir raincoat and Su Ziji put it on silently. Before he could speak, his eyes flashed and he saw a young man.
This young man was wearing a brand-new business uniform and carrying an iron ruler. He seemed to have seen the scene of men and women getting along just now. His face was a little dark, and he stared at Su Ziji with a very unkind look. He endured it before thinking about talking. Ye Weihan had already stood up. , didn't seem to notice the official business, turned a blind eye and said: "Let's go, no regrets, you can take good care of the store at home."
Su Ziji followed silently, and after walking a few steps, a burst of children's laughter suddenly sounded from a distance, and some people were talking. This sound made the two people who had just walked look over.
But I saw a stout woman coming over with a basket in her hand, handing out meat pies along the street.
