My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 40 40. Farewell to friends, leaving the border westward without any old friends
The next day, Zhao Xuanqi was woken up by constant knocking on the door, which was so loud that his head almost exploded.

He woke up from the bed in a daze, covering his head. He drank too much yesterday. Although he was not completely drunk, he was still very uncomfortable. It seemed that he would have to drink less in the future. Drinking would make him nervous.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door still echoed.

"Who else can come to me at this time? Why do I feel like someone is looking for me every day? It's too troublesome."

He stood up.

Open the door slowly.

A young man appeared in front of him, it was Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian looked at the tired Zhao Xuanqi, and immediately showed a look of remorse on his face: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhao, I really bother you."

"It's okay, it's okay, we are all from the same hometown, what do you want from me?" Zhao Xuanqi replied.

Li Yuntian showed a hesitant look on his face, and finally took the initiative to give Zhao Xuanqi a hug, and then said:

"I've been getting along very well with you these days, and you also made me understand that as an outstanding student, I should study hard, leave a name in history, and become famous all over the world. That's why I felt like getting a Jinshi. I will also work hard to leave a name in history. !”

"I don't have many friends, but you are my best friend. Thank you for allowing me to have this vast ideal. I will definitely fight for this ideal!"

Every word is taken very seriously.

This guy actually achieved such a great ideal, but it seems like I didn’t say anything, right?

Zhao Xuanqi looked at Li Yuntian who looked serious, and he also took the initiative to give Li Yuntian a hug: "You are also a good friend of mine. I have to thank you for taking care of me these days."

I have to say that Li Yuntian has indeed helped Zhao Xuanqi with many small things these days, and the two of them have a lot of fun communicating. He is considered one of the few friends of Zhao Xuanqi in this world.

He took the initiative and asked: "Why do you look melancholy? Is something big going to happen?"

Li Yuntian shook his head and said bitterly: "I am about to leave Ziyun County. A distant uncle of mine made military exploits in the border area and eventually married into a wealthy family in the border area. Seeing that I had good academic performance, he decided to marry me Take me there and train me, you want me to stand out."

"I will leave for the border soon. It is hundreds of miles away. Now I just come here to say goodbye to you, which is a bit reluctant to leave."

"Are you going to the border?" Zhao Xuanqi was stunned.

He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

In this era, it is very difficult to win the Jinshi examination because some of the precious books on the scientific examination are collected by aristocratic families. You can only read these books if you join the aristocratic families.

Otherwise, even if you have thousands of taels of gold, you will not be able to read these treasured books. These books are meant to be handed down from generation to generation and cannot be easily viewed by outsiders.

If I hadn't been introduced by Master Zhou, satisfied with Yuan Xiucai, gained the support of the Yuan family, and successfully married the Yuan family's daughter-in-law, otherwise if I wanted to read these books, I would probably have to become a slave of a wealthy family!

The monopoly of knowledge in this world is even more serious than in ancient China, and it is even worse than it is!
Presumably, the reason why Li Yuntian's uncle chose to join a wealthy family at the border was probably because of family considerations, and even for Li Yuntian's education.

Just like going to an academy to study requires the support and fundraising of the entire village, Li Yuntian's study probably also requires the silent efforts and sacrifices of the entire family.

Li Yuntian's situation is not as good as he imagined. I'm afraid that if he can't study, his situation will definitely fall to the extreme. He will be looked down upon and be alone and study hard. It's very pitiful.

In this era, it is so difficult for poor people to get ahead, it is as difficult as reaching the sky!
Zhao Xuanqi could only say: "Are you leaving in the next few days? Are you in such a hurry?"

Li Yuntian replied: "Not these days, but today. After I say goodbye to you, I will leave immediately. The carriage is already waiting for me outside the inn, so I keep knocking on your door."

He smiled bitterly and said: "Now that I'm going to the border, I don't know if I will come back one day. Today may be the last time we see each other. Saying goodbye to you is the best moment of my day. I see my good friend again."

After saying that, Li Yuntian slowly turned around, waved goodbye to Zhao Xuanqi, and was about to leave.

This guy actually considers me his best friend.

Zhao Xuanqi was happy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, unknowingly, I became someone else's best friend, even though I didn't intentionally make friends with them.

Thinking that Li Yuntian's situation there might not be very good, Zhao Xuanqi decided to help him.

He suddenly said: "Wait!"

Saying that, Zhao Xuanqi immediately returned to the room, picked up pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote poems on the calligraphy sheets.

The morning rain and light dust in the county town,
The guest house is green and new.

I advise you to drink another glass of wine.

There is no old friend when leaving the border in the west.

He changed "Weicheng" to "Juncheng" and "Yangguan" to "Bianguan" before completely writing this poem.Then he walked out the door, stuffed this poem into Li Yuntian's arms, and asked the inn waiter for a glass of wine, which he gave to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian was stunned and couldn't figure out why Zhao Xuanqi suddenly did this, but he still drank the wine seriously, feeling very moved in his heart.

When he opened the paper and looked at the poem, he was instantly surprised: "Brother Zhao... did you really give this poem to me?"

"If it's not for you, then who is it for?"

Zhao Xuanqi gave his heartfelt blessing: "My friend, I hope you will study hard, be named on the gold list, fulfill your ideals, and leave a name in history. I wish you success one day!"

"Thank you so much. This is the first time in my life that someone has written a poem for me, an ordinary person. Moreover, you are number one in all three disciplines. Your status is noble and honorable. It really flatters me. You must know that others usually look down on me." Thank you so much."

Li Yuntian was already a little incoherent.
This is the first time I feel like being treated as a human being, it feels so good!
He held Zhao Xuanqi's hand with both hands and refused to let go. The excitement and excitement on his face were beyond words.

Now, he simply thought that Zhao Xuanqi wanted to write him a poem to say goodbye, and he didn't know the meaning behind it yet.

After saying goodbye, he slowly left.

After Li Yuntian walked out of the inn, he immediately walked onto a carriage next to him.

There was a middle-aged man with a long beard in brocade clothes, with a look of disgust in his eyes: "If it weren't for your uncle marrying my sister, I wouldn't be willing to come and take you to my house. I don't believe that someone like you can really pass the exam. Jinshi."

Li Yuntian didn't say much, he just sat quietly in the carriage and tried his best to treasure the poems in his arms.

The middle-aged man saw all this, stretched out his big hand, and immediately grabbed the paper.

"You...you give it back to me, my friend gave it to me!"

"You are going to the border soon. You will live in my house, eat in my house, and read in my house. What's going on with your piece of paper?"

The middle-aged man opened the paper and took a look, and was stunned by the poem, "I advise you to drink another glass of wine, and there will be no old friends when you go west to the border."

This poem is very well written and of a very high level. Even some giants and Jinshi that I have seen may not be able to write poems of this level.

What's more, even the handwriting is perfect.

The fonts on it are like dragons and phoenixes, and even people who don't read can see the beauty in them. They are definitely words that can only be written by master calligraphers.

In the entire Northern Wei Kingdom, there were only a few scholars who could write at this level. They could be counted on one hand!

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yuntian in the corner of the carriage in surprise. He didn't expect that Li Yuntian would make such a friend. This friend must be extraordinary!
And this friend could write such a farewell poem to Li Yuntian. It can be imagined that Li Yuntian had a very good relationship with this friend.

If Li Yuntian's friend became an official...

No, this friend of his can definitely become a high official!

It seems that Li Yuntian can no longer be bullied casually.

The middle-aged man felt uncertain.

Then he showed a smile: "I'll give it back to you. You will be part of my family from now on. Don't worry, no one will bully you. You can just study with peace of mind!"

Li Yuntian stuffed the poem into his arms and treasured it tightly.

He is not stupid.

Even smart.

Otherwise, he would not have taken the Juren exam at the age of 23, or even come close to passing the Juren exam.

This is such an excellent result he achieved without reading any of the collected books!

The change in the middle-aged man's attitude obviously came about after reading the poem.

Only then did Li Yuntian understand the meaning of Zhao Xuanqi's poem.

Brother Zhao's poem is not only a farewell gift to himself, but also a guarantee that he, the number one in the three sects, is willing to stand up for him!

It can even be said to be a little threatening...

His eyes were red, and there was only gratitude in his heart. He held the poem's hand harder.

Li Yuntian couldn't help but poke his head out of the carriage window and looked behind him. He saw a small figure standing in front of the inn waving goodbye to his carriage. As the carriage went further and further away, the figure became more and more visible. Blurred until you can no longer see it...

I don't know when, his face was filled with tears. He only had one belief in his heart: he must study hard, pass the Jinshi examination, and leave his name in history, so that he can live up to the courtesy of Brother Zhao!
