super god ancestor

Chapter 31

"poor guy?"

Li Cezhi was slightly startled, but a little curious.

"I don't know the details, I only know that this person's surname is Wang, he is a farmer from Xihe Village, his parents were still there when he was young, and his family was rich for a while.

It's just that his parents passed away one after another, and he sold off all the ancestral property in order to test for talent.

Although this person failed every year, he still did not give up. If he had no money, he would go to relatives and friends to raise money. In short, every year in the children's examination, I can see him here once. "

Zhao Ruixiang said with a little emotion in his tone.

Repeated battles and defeats, failing the rankings every year, and unwilling to give up the scientific examination after dissipating all the wealth, how deep is this obsession.

Li Cezhi thought about it, and couldn't help but look at the old boy again.

This old boy stood alone in a remote place, with a large area around him, no one wanted to be with him.

After all, this old boy was indeed too sloppy, and if he got close, he would suffer if he smelled it.

Wang Tongsheng himself seemed to be used to walking alone and didn't care.

He drooped his eyelids, and his attention was not on the rules of the examination that the official said. Instead, he looked far away, and seemed to fall further away. His blank and empty eyes seemed to be filled with hope because of what he saw. with longing.

Li Cezhi glanced in the direction suspiciously, only to realize that what the old Tongsheng was looking at was the red bricks and blue tiles of the academy, and the rockery with flying eaves.

"Grumble!"

Suddenly, Wang Tongsheng's stomach groaned, as if he was hungry.

With his palms on his stomach, he couldn't help squatting down, his complexion was extremely pale and ugly.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing this scene, Li Cezhi couldn't bear it, stepped forward, and took out two hard steamed buns and the ripe peach that his mother stuffed into the bag before leaving.

Wang Tongsheng raised his head, but he couldn't hear Li Cezhi's inquiry, he could only see the food he handed out.

Perhaps he was really hungry, and he didn't care about saying polite words. He took the steamed buns and peaches, and started to eat them hungrily.

"Uh!"

After swallowing the steamed bun, he gnawed away the last peach and threw the peach pit aside. Only then did he feel that the dizziness caused by hunger was much relieved.

"Thank you for the food, brother. I'm really hungry, and I don't care about being gentle. I made my brother laugh."

After eating steamed buns and peaches, Wang Tongsheng was only a third full, and he had the strength to chat with Li Cezhi politely.

"Dare to ask brother Tai Gao's name?"

Wang Tongsheng rolled up his sleeves and bowed to Li Cezhi.

"I'm Li Cezhi, a native of Nanshan Village."

"My lord, Wang Hu, is registered in Xihe Village."

The two exchanged names, and Wang Tongsheng bowed his hands to him again, promising: "Brother Tai's great kindness, Wang will definitely remember it in his heart, and when I become a scholar, I will definitely repay my kindness."

For Wang Tongsheng, it is already a great kindness to provide him with a few steamed buns at this time so as not to starve to death.

"Since Xiongtai can gather enough money to come to the scientific research, how can you not even have food?"

Li Cezhi was slightly startled, and couldn't help but wonder.

Hearing this, Wang Tongsheng was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Good steel is on the blade, and the money I pieced together is just enough for me to go to the county government to catch up for the exam, so I have to be hungry first."

"When I win Juren, I have to eat all kinds of delicacies in order to make up for the pain I have suffered all these years."

Hearing this explanation, Li Cezhi felt a little hard to understand.

I can't even eat enough. Isn't the most important thing to solve is the problem of survival.

Moreover, this Wang Tongsheng rushes to take the exam every year, and fails every year. If he fails again this year, where should he go to find food?
Although it was difficult for him to understand the thoughts of people like Wang Tongsheng, he didn't say anything clearly, but instead asked him about his experiences over the years.

Wang Tongsheng's eyes lit up. It seemed that no one had been willing to take the initiative to chat with him for a long time. Once the chatterbox was opened, he did not hold back the slightest bit and spoke clearly.

According to him, his family was in Xihe Village back then, and it was considered a wealthy farming family, with five cattle and [-] acres of fertile land.

And when Wang Hu was 23 years old, he saw someone in his neighbor's house won the election. That day, the whole village was full of gongs, drums and firecrackers.

All the villagers came to flatter and beg for rewards and congratulate him, which made him very envious.

He worked as a farmer for his family since he was a child, and he didn't know a lot of characters. At that time, he also had the idea of ​​making a fuss and getting a job.

"If you don't know big characters, you need to take a test for fame?"

Li Cezhi was a little surprised, and he couldn't figure out where Wang Tongsheng's self-confidence came from. During the scientific examination, he relied on practical learning, not luck.

"So what if I don't know big characters?"

Wang Tongsheng seemed very dissatisfied with Li Cezhi's surprised attitude, and said angrily: "Which child is born familiar with the classics of sages? I just missed out on education when I was young because of my parents' negligence. Only when I became an adult can I choose my own path, work hard to read and write, and want to pass the exam. Fame can change one's destiny, so should one also be despised?"

"Brother Wang, don't get angry, it is indeed my fault."

Li Cezhi thought about it, and felt that what he said was somewhat reasonable, and it really shouldn't be based on childhood education.

Seeing his apology, Wang Tongsheng, who was quite angry, didn't pursue it further, and continued to talk about his experience.

At first, Wang Hu's parents didn't agree with him wanting to take the examination for fame. In the eyes of his parents who had eight generations of poor peasant household registration, Wang Hu should be a farmer honestly.

People who can test for fame and become high officials are all entrusted by the master of Wenqu in the sky. How can my son have such ability and ability?

Learning to read and write is purely a waste of effort. It is better to help the family grow two acres of land.

"Tell me, are they short-sighted and stupid!"

Even after so many years, Wang Hu is still resentful when it comes to the attitude of his parents at home.

"Indeed, everyone is human, and no one has more arms or legs than anyone else."

Li Cezhi agrees with Wang Hu's attitude of not accepting his fate.

I vaguely remember that when he was a child, in the stories his father told him, there were princes, generals and ministers, and Ning had kind remarks.

After cursing a few times, the rather nervous Wang Hu talked about what happened next again.

He refused to accept the arrangement of his family and went his own way, vowing to get a good name in the exam and let his parents see.

It's a pity that for the next ten years, he applied for the examination every year and failed every year. Not to mention the promotion of Jinshi, even a small scholar never got the fame.

In the past ten years, many things have happened.

His parents died of illness one after another, and the girl from the neighboring village who had agreed to marry Wang Hu's childhood sweetheart also neglected her because Wang Hu was obsessed with learning, causing the two to drift apart.

Until one day, he heard the news again that the girl had married someone else's wife.

"Clothes are not as good as new ones, people are not as good as old ones, why can't she wait for me any longer?"

It seemed that he remembered the woman in his memory who had had mutual affection with him and made a private decision for life. Wang Hu's face was full of sadness, and he looked depressed.

　Thanks to the book friend Course for the reward, and thanks to Taoist Cangyun for the reward of 500 starting coins, thank you everyone.
