Royal Gold Magistrate

Xiao Letian was already in tears, looking at his old father's desolate back, he couldn't say a word.

He could only kneel on the ground numbly, letting the blood on his forehead flow down slowly.

For a long time, there was no sound from inside the house.

Xiao Letian panicked, ignoring his already numb knees, got up and staggered towards the house.

In the room, Xiao Kang seemed to have lost his soul, his already old face seemed to be ten years older.

Sitting on the edge of the couch, his lips moved lightly, as if he was muttering something.

Xiao Letian knelt down in front of Xiao Kang in panic, and said sadly: "Father, I was wrong...I will go back to study."

Xiao Kang's dim eyes moved slightly, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I was wrong, people have their own ambitions, do whatever you like, from today on I won't care about you anymore."

"Don't you like being a craftsman? Then do it."

When Xiao Letian heard the words, he felt as if his whole body was electrified.

Heirloom of poems and books... This is his father's dream all his life, how could he not know it.

Now that I don't care about him, it can be seen how disappointed I am in my heart, and I have completely given up.

Xiao Kang said with tears: "Father...it's because I'm incompetent...can't read it! My family has no money...I don't want to take the imperial examination anymore!"

"My son is not a material for the imperial examination...I got the first grade in the interview today. If I can get into Dongjiao University, I will definitely be able to earn money to support my family in the future."

As he spoke, he kowtowed his head again.

Hearing the muffled sound coming from his ears, Xiao Kang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He couldn't bear to see this and turned his head away, with tears in his eyes: "Go, don't tell me."

This is the end of the matter, there is nothing more to talk about.

Xiao Letian shed tears and lamented, "My son is not filial!"

After saying that, he got up and rushed out the door, leaving Xiao Kang alone in the room in a daze.

Xiao Letian rushed to the street, wandering aimlessly.

The area in front of my eyes has turned gray, and my mind is also in chaos.

I don't know how long I went shopping, but it was getting late before I rushed back home.

There was a bowl of chilled sweet potatoes on the stove, Xiao Letian felt warm in his heart.

He tiptoed towards the house, only to see that Xiao Kang had already curled up and fell asleep, so he felt a little more relaxed.

After a brief wash, he laid down on the couch carefully.

The room is very small, and usually the father and son sleep together.

Xiao Letian heard the sound of even breathing coming from his ear, and his thoughts surged.He forcibly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and gradually fell asleep.

Tomorrow... I have to go to the newspaper office for an interview.

.....

The next day, Xiao Letian went out early, and when he woke up, his father had already disappeared.

This is the norm, because the time to go to work always starts before dawn.

He packed up his mood and rushed to the Banshan newspaper office to take the exam.

He is always extremely nervous about exams, and even feels stomach ache every time he goes to the exam room.

But the Eastern Suburb University exam made him feel different.

There are no deep preachings in those ancient books... He is always not interested in these things.

His attention is always in a diffuse, fantasy state.Those strange things attracted him even more.

And the most important thing is... if you get admitted to the Eastern Suburbs, you can become rich and rich and improve your life!

Father doesn't have to go out to work before dawn, and it's time for someone else to carry the load at home.

When we arrived at the newspaper office, guides had already been arranged outside the door.

There were not many people this time, and only a few dozen people arrived when he arrived.

Xiao Letian followed the guidance and walked into the examination room beside him, his eyes lit up immediately.

Still an interview!It's the same interviewer who interviewed him before!

Mo Xiaohu's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Letian.

Impressive, impressive!

Yesterday, no one was faster than this kid in arithmetic. It can be seen that his brain is flexible. Such a person must be included in the bag!

...

After 10 minutes, the exam was over, and Xiao Letian went straight home.

Until it was getting late, Xiao Kang went home.

Xiao Letian hurriedly got up and packed the tools for his work.

Xiao Kang turned away and tidied up on his own.

Xiao Letian wanted to say something, but now he felt like a stick in his throat, so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

The good mood of the day disappeared in an instant.

After hesitating for a long time, he murmured, "Father... I passed the exam."

Xiao Kang didn't even raise his head, he hummed and stopped talking.

Xiao Letian said with difficulty: "School will start in five days, and I may have to live on campus. The tuition fee is five yuan for the lowest major. As for what major to apply for, I haven't yet..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Kang turned around and entered the room!

There was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, and after a while a money bag flew out of it and fell to the ground with a slap.

Xiao Letian swallowed his saliva, leaned over to pick up the money bag, opened it and saw that the copper plates and scattered silver in it add up to more than one or two coins, he couldn't help being moved.

The money should be all the savings of the family... Now that it is all given to him, what should the family do?

"Father, I don't need so much."

"I've found a new job, you don't need to worry about it." Father's cold voice came from the room.

Then there was silence again...

......

Five days later, Xiao Letian's long-awaited day arrived.

He packed his bags and left a letter, and left the house early.

These five days were extremely tormenting for him, and the father and son basically had nothing to say.

His father couldn't untie his knot, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and create a new path.

Gritting his teeth, he spent some money to take a carriage, and hurried to the outside of Dongjiao University.

At this time, many people had already gathered outside the school gate.

Everyone was beaming, even Xiao Letian couldn't help being open-minded!

The construction of the school gate in front of me is extremely magnificent, with the words "Dongjiao University" written on it, and a school emblem standing in the middle.

A shape resembling a rooster... Xiao Letian didn't understand.

In addition, there is a huge landscape stone at the gate, engraved with eight characters [freedom of thought, inclusiveness]

Outside the door, the former interviewer was welcoming the new students.

With a smile on his face, Mo Xiaohu guided the freshmen one by one into the school, and when he glanced around, he suddenly felt stung by a poor temperament.

When he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Letian, he said loudly: "Xiao Letian!"

Xiao Letian was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward quickly.

Mo Xiaohu smiled and said, "We are really destined."

Xiao Letian smiled shyly: "Hello, sir."

"Don't call me sir. In Dongjiao University, everyone is called teacher. Just in time, there are almost enough people here now, let's go in together."

"The welcome ceremony for freshmen will begin in a while, and I will show you around the campus after it is over."

"Thank you teacher!"

Xiao Letian nodded excitedly, then walked inwards behind Mo Xiaohu.

Entering the community, Xiao Letian couldn't help being stunned.

In the eyes, there are large areas of lawn that are neatly trimmed, which looks extraordinarily comfortable.

There are also various small forests dotted in the meantime...

There is also a rather large lake, the surface of the lake is sparkling and shining with a little bit of brilliance.

Not far away are row upon row of buildings, and half of the construction site is in full swing.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen such an atmospheric and beautiful scene!

In a dazed effort, Mo Xiaohu had already gone far.

Xiao Letian raised his foot to chase after him, but just as he was about to land, he quickly moved back.

I didn't notice just now, there is a sign under my feet!

[Loving flowers and plants is everyone's responsibility. 】
