The World of Yellow Sky

Chen Sheng didn't understand what an ally meant. He only knew that although those people looked fierce, they didn't come to snatch their things.

But they also have nothing to rob.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but Chen Sheng really couldn't remember how long it had passed. He only knew that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the leaves on the trees on both sides of the road were almost gone.

He saw a lot of cavalry, many cavalry wearing armor, countless banners, and groups of people wearing armor and holding swords, and those people also wore yellow scarves on their heads.

When they passed by the city, the leader Fu Zhu pointed to a particularly tall khaki banner on the city wall and told them that it was the banner of the great virtuous teacher. Now the great virtuous teacher came to pick them up with an army. Already safe.

The Fu Zhu who had been leading them along did not lie to them. From that day on, they could have enough food every day, and they were not in danger again. They were indeed safe...

Chapter 754 The Day of the National Examination

Burning incense in the purple hall is warm and blowing lightly, and Xi Qunying is clear in the Guangting.

Chen Sheng lifted the quilt, closed his clothes and quietly sat up from the bed.

I don't know how long he was lying on the bed, but he just didn't feel sleepy at all.

The people around him are full of confidence in him, the newspapers call him Wenquxing, and his two masters also have high hopes for him, but as the big exam is approaching, Chen Sheng can't calm down his mood no matter what.

He really didn't want the people around him to be disappointed, and he didn't want those who cared about him to feel sad.

"Can't sleep?"

In the darkness, someone suddenly spoke.

Chen Sheng looked around and saw a person sitting on the bed not far away, which was Meng Zhu's bed.

"I thought it was because I couldn't sleep alone."

Another voice came from the side, it was Zhao Kang's voice.

A smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face, as expected, Zhao Kang was not asleep just like the two of them.

Seeing Meng Zhu's figure, Chen Sheng stood up and walked to the window.

The windows in the house were opened, and the breeze lingering in the courtyard was blown into the house.

The cold moonlight fell on the floor of the house, and the breeze blew away the dullness in the air.

Chen Sheng put on the robe that was put aside and stood up.

The three of them stood in front of the window and looked at the big tree in the courtyard that had sprouted new buds and revived its vitality.

When they first came to Chang'an City, they also lived in this house.

It was winter at that time, and almost the entire Chang'an city was covered with heavy snow.

The big tree in the courtyard was also stained white by the snow, and its leaves had already fallen in autumn.

Amidst the thousands of lights and cheers, another year has passed.

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, winter is coming and spring is coming.

Chang'an City shed the dullness of winter and woke up from the long hibernation.

Chen Sheng stood in front of the window, observing the scene in the courtyard. When his eyes fell on the opposite house, he realized that the three of them were not the only ones who were not asleep when the window was opened.

Not only did the windows open, there were people sitting in the corridor.

The exam this time was too important, and they were not the only ones who couldn't sleep because of the national exam.

"This time, in the national examination, only 99 people will be selected from the Shiqu and Tianlu academies."

Zhao Kang shook his head and sighed.

"There are 99 out of [-] people, and my grades in the academy are only average..."

There are 99 out of [-] students, and very few students can enter the school. His best result in the county college was only the top [-] in the county school, and that was only the county school in the eldest son city.

"This time, among the three of us, probably only Chen Sheng passed the exam."

Meng Zhu leaned on the window sill and said with a smile.

"At the beginning, I should have read more books and listened to the old man's ramblings."

"If you are willing to study hard, then you won't be called Meng Zhu anymore."

Chen Sheng shook his head helplessly, and cursed with a smile.

Zhao Kang on the side also had a deeply concerned expression.

Meng Zhu was an unconventional man, although he was smart, he was not as hardworking as Zhao Kang.

In Meng College back then, Meng Zhu even had two average grades, almost failing to get into the county college.

Later, in the county examination, Meng Zhu was admitted to the county school with the No. 30 score.

It wasn't because Meng Zhu suddenly became enlightened, nor was it because of luck, but because Meng Zhu was driven into the school by their teacher, and after studying hard for more than half a semester, he was admitted to the county school.

The teachers of their Meng Xuetang felt that Meng Zhu was obviously talented but he was unwilling to work hard, and he hated iron for being weak.

In the words of their teacher, if he has the talent of Meng Zhu, he must study hard in the Taoist hall, and after graduation, he will be able to govern and benefit one side.

It's a pity that his talent is limited, even if he studies hard, he is still inferior to others and unable to do many tasks.

In the end, he was disheartened and could only apply for a transfer to Meng Xuetang. He had no way to make a contribution, but he wanted the students he taught to have a good future and contribute to the Taipingdao.

Mengxue's teacher is so in charge of everything, even his daily life.

But when they entered the county school, the teachers in the county school were no longer like the teachers in the Meng school.

In their first class, their teachers told them why they were studying, and gave them the choice of whether to study or not.

Students trained by county schools are qualified to become officials. They will enter the society and must have a sense of independence.

The first semester of the third year of the county college is the practice period. During this semester, the students of the county college will be uniformly arranged into various government offices to observe the life and work of officials.

Chen Sheng and others have all worked as officials and participated in the internship period.

"Actually, I didn't want to be an official from the very beginning."

Meng Zhu sighed softly.

"My grandparents have been businessmen for generations, and they used to be extremely wealthy, but the family business was lost later. By my father's generation, it has already gone downhill."

"I have loved arithmetic since I was a child, and I like to travel around. When I was young, my wish was to do business and transport goods. I wanted to be a businessman."

Meng Zhu's eyes dimmed slightly.

"It's a pity that the status of a businessman is low. After Mengxue was opened, my father asked to study in Mengxue no matter what."

"If I haven't passed the test this time, I would like to go into business. Right now, the great virtuous teacher has lifted many laws that despise businessmen, and encourages business everywhere. Businessmen are no longer as lowly as they used to be."

"The Silk Road has been reopened, and the commercial roads in the Western Regions are about to be opened. I heard that General Guo Tai, the general who conquered the West, has led an army into the Western Regions. He has arrived in the Kingdom of Kucha and is building a city on the commercial road. Guardian!"

Speaking of business and the Western Regions, Meng Zhu's eyes brightened.

When he was very young, he followed his father and wandered around with the caravan.

At night, beside the bonfire, everyone sat around together, telling anecdotes and strange things that the merchants encountered in the past, and telling various deeds that happened from all over the world.

Among them are the stories of the Western Regions. Meng Zhu was fascinated by the different scenery, different costumes and different histories of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

He wants to be a businessman, and he wants to take a caravan to the Western Regions to see the beauty of the Western Regions.

Chen Sheng looked at Meng Zhu who looked longingly, he wanted words, he wanted to persuade Meng Zhu.

Chen Sheng didn't understand business, but he knew one thing, that is, in order to reset the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Guo Tai, the General of the Western Expedition, brought more than [-] elite cavalry troops from the Wuxiang Battalion to the Western Regions.

Jia Xu, the magistrate of the Zhongjun Mansion, went to Liangzhou to sit in the town in person. Now Jia Xu is in Wuwei County of Liangzhou, not far from Yumen Pass in Dunhuang County.

Many Qiang and Di cavalry were recruited in Dunhuang County, and their role was as a backup supplement.

Once there are changes in the Western Regions, these cavalry troops will immediately leave Yumen Pass to support the cavalry troops of Wuxiang Camp.

It is not safe to do business, especially traveling to the Western Regions.

But in the end Chen Sheng still didn't say it out loud, it was his friend's ambition after all.

"Zhao Kang, what are your plans for the future?"

Meng Zhu straightened his body and slashed at Zhao Kang who was beside him.

"I?"

Zhao Kang was slightly taken aback, and smiled awkwardly.

"Although I can't be admitted to the National Academy, I should be able to get the certificate of completion this time. After I get the certificate of completion, I probably won't take the exam again."

Zhao Kang's expression was slightly gloomy, but he forced a smile.

"My Aunt's leg is inconvenient, and many things at home are very troublesome. I can work as a civil servant in a county with a certificate of completion. If I don't get admitted to the National Academy, I will see if I can be a civil servant in the eldest son city. , and take care of the family.”

Although Zhao Kang's father is a policeman, he can only work as a clerical worker because of a leg injury, and his family background is not very good.

Chen Sheng was silent. Their situations are different, and their paths will eventually be different.

Perhaps after the national exam this time, it will be time for them to part ways.

Zhao Kang worked hard but was not talented enough. No matter how hard he studied, he couldn't rank among the best.

Although Meng Zhu has talent, he has no ambitions.

Chen Sheng was actually not worried that he would fail the National Academy exam.

In fact, as early as two years ago, he had already passed the national academy exam.

When he had finished his county studies, some men in eagle-wolf suits came and prepared an exam, and he passed that exam.

Later he learned that that exam was the exam for entering the National Academy, and if he passed the exam, he could enter the National Academy.

But later, because the Yellow Turban Army attacked Liangzhou, Guanzhong and other places, the plan of the National Academy of Sciences was temporarily shelved.

Xu An served as the sacrificial wine at the National Academy, and Yan Zhong, Yang Ji, Fu Qi, Xu You and others were the teachers in charge of teaching the students.

At that time, there were only a small number of teachers in the Chinese Academy, so it was meaningless for Chen Sheng to enroll at that time.

And at that time, they were all children of aristocratic families who were studying at the National Academy, and Xu An was also worried that Chen Sheng would learn the habits of children of aristocratic families and be excluded by those children of aristocratic families, so Chen Sheng was allowed to settle down in the county school for a while.

Chen Sheng has the ability of photographic memory, the exam is not difficult for him, writing the essay is easy and handy.

"The list hasn't been released yet, and the exam hasn't been taken yet, so Anzhi is no one on the list?"

The atmosphere was a little sad because of the words of Zhao Kang and Meng Zhu, but Chen Sheng spoke with firmness and encouragement.

"No matter what, you should try your best in the exam tomorrow and leave no regrets."

"I have been studying hard for three years just for today's exam. The grades of the past are just the past, and the grades of today are the grades that determine whether I can enter the National Academy."

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist, saying solemnly.

"The day the rankings are announced is the time when the three of us meet at the National Academy."

Meng Zhu was slightly moved. Looking at Chen Sheng with a firm face, he first shook his head, then smiled and stretched out his hand. He also shook hands into a fist and put it together with Chen Sheng's fist.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Zhao Kang also stretched out his hand.

After six years of studying hard, if he didn't work hard, how could he be willing to just be an ordinary civil servant.

Chen Sheng's chapter will soon become the main line. After graduating from the National Academy, he will enter the Taiping Road to serve as an official.

Because of the slow update problem, I will say it in advance, after all, I mentioned it in this chapter before.

The past few days have been truly blessed, and misfortunes never come singly.

First, the back pain was so bad that I couldn’t sit down at all, and today I have a little cold and fever.

Chapter 755 Wuhua warrior titled Meiyong, writing the sound of spring eating leaves

The sound of reading at the south window is Wuyi, and the moon song and bamboo branches are seen at the north window.

My family's white hair asked Wu Que, and his family's red makeup occupied the spider's silk.

Wu'er danggui cries on Wushan Mountain, and Yuchai screams at the spider man's horse.

When I went there, the lights were in the middle of the first month, and the snow fell before the steps, and the day lilies were all gone.

"It's five o'clock!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the watchmen, the drums in the guild hall were also sounded at the same time.
