Chapter 38(1/2)
Kaifeng Prefecture.
It is one of the seventy-two prefectures of the Daxia Dynasty.
Similarly, it is also one of the most popular places in the literary style.
The Daxia Dynasty held an imperial examination every September, inviting talented people from all over the world to join the court, seek blessings for the people and serve the country.
The imperial examination is divided into the civil and military imperial examinations. Each of the civil and military imperial examinations has its top three, and the most dazzling one is the top three each year.
The titles of the top three civil and military officials are the same.
First place, No. 1!
Second place, second place!
Third place, Tanhua!
This is also a road to fame. Every year, the top scholar is recruited by the big boss in the court as a son-in-law.
The Great Xia Dynasty was vast and had a large population.
Who can win the lead in the imperial examinations is not full of knowledge or outstanding martial arts?
Therefore, most of the big bosses in the court who have daughters like to recruit the top scholar as their son-in-law.
Because the top scholar has no background, and there is no need to make the emperor suspicious.
Although the court was quiet, there were still many parties below, but these parties did not touch the bottom line of the emperor.
Three years ago.
There was a literati who picked Tanhua. At the same time, this person had a very good martial arts skills, especially at flying knives.
This person also caused heated discussion in Shangjing City because his surname is Li and his name is Li Tanhua.
According to rumors, Li Tanhua's flying knife was completely exaggerated; if he was a stable official in the court, his future would definitely be impressive.
That year, Tanhualang's light actually obscured the top scholar.
There were countless people in the court who wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, and even the emperor had the idea of recruiting him as his son-in-law.
However, in the end, Li Tanhua's choice shocked everyone's eyes.
Li Tanhua wanted any official position, so she left Shangjing alone and ran to the world to get into trouble.
In the world, Li Tanhua's reputation was widely circulated in a short period of time.
Since then, Tanhualang has tailored it for this person. Even afterwards, no one has surpassed this person.
Yellow River Town.
He vomited a smoke ring deeply.
The man said to Shen Cangsheng: "Ruhua's life is quite bitter."
Shen Cangsheng sat on the ground, regardless of the snowflakes on the ground.
Look at the man seriously.
The man continued: "Ruhua is the most beautiful woman in our town, the gentlest, and the most miserable one."
Shen Cangsheng asked.
“Why do you say that?”
The man said, "Ruhua and a childhood sweetheart of a scholar in our town."
The scholar's name is Fan Dongli, just as it is told in the playbook.
Scholar Fan Dongli and Ruhua’s childhood sweethearts.
Fan Dongli failed the imperial examination three times and failed the exam three times. During this period, Ruhua never left him. Not only did he not look down on him, but he encouraged Fan Dongli to study hard. His daily expenses, pen, ink, paper and ink were all earned by Ruhua for Fan Dongli.
Everyone in the town envies Fan Dongli for being like a flower.
After failing the third time, Fan Dongli didn't want to take the exam again.
I just thought that even if I was fishing for a lifetime, there was nothing wrong with me.
So, Fan Dongli married Ruhua.
After getting married, Fan Dongli didn't want to see Ruhua's hard work anymore and said he would not study anything.
Ruhua cried and begged Fan Dongli to enter the imperial examination again.
Fan Dongli couldn't resist Ruhua and finally said, "This is the last time. If it's not heavy this time, I will fish with you!"
Fan Dongli and Ruhua hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"I am a man, I don't want to see you work so hard for me!"
Fan Dongli studied hard day and night.
Four years ago.
Fan Dongli once again carried the bookcase and left Huanghe Town and headed to Shangjing City.
"This time, you will definitely win!"
"Then, I took my wife to Shangjing. Legend has it that the candied haws in Shangjing are particularly sweet."
"Um."
In front of the ferry crossing in the Yellow River Town.
Ruhua held Fan Dongli's hand.
Fan Dongli could feel that Ruhua's hands were already very rough and even rougher than his hands.
That's because like a flower is supplying him with reading.
Fan Dongli vowed in his heart that he would definitely win this time!
In front of the ferry.
Ruhua watched the boat ride the wind and left.
But she didn't expect that this time, it was a farewell!
What's out there?
In the vast world outside, there is prosperity that cannot be seen in a small town in a lifetime; there is glory that cannot be seen in a small town in a lifetime; there is power that cannot be seen in a small town in a lifetime.
That year, Fan Dongli rode a tall horse, wearing a red robe, and a big red flower hanging on his chest.
A Wenqu star appeared in Huanghe Town.
Mr. Fan is the top scorer in high school!
The bronze drums rang and spread throughout Kaifeng Prefecture.
Everyone knows the name of Huanghe Town, because there was a top scholar in Huanghe Town!
The owner of the palace even came to visit Ruhua.
That day, Ruhua cried.
After four consecutive years, I finally got high school.
However, after waiting for a long time, Fan Dongli did not come back.
Since the news about Fan Dongli’s high school came, Ruhua has been waiting at the ferry every day, waiting for Fan Dongli to come back.
One year.
Two years.
Three years.
Four years.
Spring has gone, autumn has come again, but Fan Dongli has not yet returned.
Two years ago, the owner of the mansion came to Ruhua's house and told Ruhua not to wait any longer. Fan Dongli would not come back and would never come back.
After the mansion's lord told Ruhua, Ruhua chased the mansion with a rolling pin and cried.
Husband, he will come back!
Ruhua believes in her husband.
The head of the house told Ruhua that when Fan Dongli became the top scholar, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue fell in love with Fan Dongli.
The head of the government said that on that day, the Minister of Revenue asked Fan Dongli: "Zhuangcai Lang, do you have a wife?"
Fan Dongli said, "I haven't married yet."
The Minister of Revenue asked again: "Do you want to join my mansion as your son-in-law?"
Fan Dongli said, "I am willing to do so, thank you for your appreciation!"
Firecrackers are lit up, and a couple of newcomers are envious of others.
One is the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. His father is of high status and powerful, and his daughter is as beautiful as a flower.
