Chapter 7 The Distress of the Longevity Species
Chapter 7 The Troubles of the Immortal Seed
Zheng Tu came over early in the morning and was quite surprised when he saw Qin Chuan.
"Brother Chuan?"
He couldn't believe it. He was still the same person, but his complexion was completely different from what it was more than half a month ago.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "What's wrong, Brother Zheng? You can't recognize me, right?"
Zheng Tu said enviously: "Brother Chuan, I've heard that wolf meat is a great supplement, but I didn't expect it to be so effective. In a few days, I'll find a few people and go to the mountains to try to see if I can kill another wolf."
Although Qin Chuan's appearance has not changed much, his body is obviously much stronger and his complexion is rosy. It is obvious at a glance that he has a strong youthful spirit.
Qin Chuan laughed loudly: "If Brother Zheng kills a wolf again, I will definitely buy some and try it again."
He also wanted to know if all wolf meat was like this.
In fact, I probably guessed in my heart that it probably wasn't the case, but you have to see the results to really know.
Zheng Tu laughed and said, "If you really kill a wolf, I will definitely give you a few kilograms as a gift for you to be admitted as a scholar."
Zheng Tu and others had been to the city many times and knew that the journey was hard, but this time they didn't feel hard at all.
This was a common problem among people at that time. When they saw a scholar in the countryside, they would always look shorter, not to mention that they were wealthy people.
In fact, by walking forward with a heavy load and adjusting his breathing rhythm, he can also practice the Hunyuan Tongzi Kung Fu a little bit.
Qin Chuan readily accepted Zheng Tu's kindness.
Children's vitality and cute smiles are actually the source of happiness and motivation for adults.
"sixteen."
…
The next day, Zheng Tu and Qin Chuan met up and pulled a wooden donkey cart over. On it were the wolf skins and the meat to be sold in the city.
But Qin Chuan thought that in a few years, he would have to disguise himself as an old man, or even need to change places, otherwise he would attract too much attention.
Qinchuan has passed two boy examinations, and only the last college examination is left. Zheng Tu, through contact with Qin Chuan, is convinced that Qin Chuan will pass the exam this time.
If you wait a little longer, you will definitely be able to buy wolf skins, but the hospital exams are waiting for no one.
Zheng Tu wanted to help him carry the books for a while, but Qin Chuan also refused.
But he looks much older than Qin Chuan.
There may not be one scholar who is sixteen years old in a year from all over the country. Although I heard that in the provincial capital, there are scholars aged twelve or thirteen every year, but that is the provincial capital.
If it weren't for his son's future, Zheng Tu would not have thought of going to the city to do business.
A good bookcase is also equipped with a pole to carry a cloth curtain, which can protect it from rust and rain.
As a poor student, I immediately realized that Qin Chuan was not simple.
"Hey, didn't you say the other person is a butcher? Why doesn't it look like that to me?"
The imperial examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Once you cross it, you will be climbing the dragon gate.
It is also the trouble of happiness.
Similar to the one worn by Ning Caichen in the movie A Chinese Ghost Story.
Wang Fu couldn't help but smile, "So you are about to take the college exam. Let me tell you, the rules of the college exam are very strict. You must pay attention to them. But this is your first time taking the exam. If you fail this time, you will be a big loser.
Chances are, don’t be sad. By the way, how old are you..."
He was a butcher, and he always felt weak when meeting people.
"Brother Chuan, you are right to thank me. Look what I brought you."
However, a boy like Qin Chuan, who is about to take the college examination and is only sixteen years old, can often make people in the circle take him a little seriously.
What's more, in this world where transportation is congested, from the court to the countryside, the friendship between the country and the country has always been valued. Since Qin Chuan has great potential, he is really happy to have a good relationship with Qin Chuan.
He recently heard that wolf skin has the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves, so he wanted to wear a wolf skin coat when taking the exam.
It turned out that Zheng Tu knew that Qin Chuan's family was in a difficult situation, so he specially sent the book case he had made for his son and lent it to Qin Chuan for a few days.
Wang Fu is a person who is easy to make friends with. Seeing that Qin Chuan is not very young, he and he are going to take the college examination together, and they even brought the wolf skin that he had been longing for. It was a perfect destiny.
He took off the object on his back, which was a bookcase (qiè) made of rough wood. It was about two feet wide from left to right and about one foot and six high from top to bottom.
Because it is difficult to walk on dirt roads in the countryside, riding on a wooden cart was a real struggle. After dozens of miles of walking, my bones would fall apart.
The family's surname was Wang, and Qin Chuan met the young master of the Wang family with a wolfskin through his relationship with the Zheng family.
It looks like he is already in his early years, and he can barely stand up and walk unsteadily. Moreover, this child is not afraid of cold or heat, and is very easy to take care of.
Because there is a wealthy family across the street, and the young master of that family is also a scholar. Zheng Tu thought, it is easy for scholars to communicate with each other.
The two agreed to leave tomorrow.
Wang Fu is twenty-six years old this year. He has passed the child examination nine times and failed nine times. Soon after, it was his tenth child examination. This time he was lucky and finally took the college examination for the first time.
Xiao Yingning often pokes his head out of the bookcase on the road, looks around, and often laughs, which is really cute.
Zheng Tu did not leave any space for Qin Chuan to sit in the car.
Qin Chuan did not refuse and smiled: "Thank you so much, Brother Zheng."
What's more, he is still a fat man, so he has to have one tailor-made. If he wants to buy a ready-made wolf skin coat, he can't.
Zheng Tu also wanted to ask Qin Chuan to come forward regarding the sale of wolf skins.
Of course, Zheng Tu didn't know that only those who pass the examination can be called true scholars.
Wang Fu was suddenly surprised that he could take the college examination at the age of sixteen.
Just when he was about to be disappointed, he unexpectedly learned the news about the wolf skin from the housekeeper.
I heard that the family was generous and the wolf skin could be sold for a good price.
Tomorrow Zheng Tu's wife will go to the provincial capital together. It turns out that the buyer of the wolf skin has been found. He is a relative of the Zheng family and works as a housekeeper for a wealthy family in the city. The young master of the wealthy family is interested in the wolf skin and arrives in the city.
When you see the goods, you can give them to him directly.
So Wang Fu and Qin Chuan met.
This is the troublesome part of being an immortal species.
The earlier you pass the scholar examination, the more opportunities you will have to pass the examination, and the greater the possibility of becoming an official in the future.
A bookcase is a common item for scholars when traveling. It is cheap to carry and can contain pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and some books.
In fact, he is not much older than Qin Chuan.
However, wolf skin is considered a rarity and is not often found.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan's physique now exceeds that of an average adult. Carrying a bookcase, he slowly followed Zheng Tu and his party to the city.
Of course, this rough wooden book case does not have those functions, but in addition to containing the four treasures of the study room, it can also contain Ying Ning and the remaining kilograms of dried wolf meat.
The butler explained.
Ying Ning has been eating meat porridge with him these days, and she has indeed gained weight.
That was his ration before and after taking the college examination.
It’s not just the years that make people grow old, but also the burden of life.
…
In the countryside, a sixteen-year-old scholar has a bright future in the eyes of the villagers.
Seeing that Qin Chuan was vigorous and strong, he thought he was at least twenty. Moreover, Qin Chuan came with a child, so he guessed that he was married.
I didn't expect that he was only sixteen years old.
In fact, it is not too early to get married at the age of sixteen, but Wang Fu was a little shocked when he came to take the college examination at the age of sixteen.
However, he still pretended to be calm and patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, "Then there's no need to worry. You can try out how deep the water is in the hospital test this time. You'll be more confident next time. Come on, let's go first.
Look at this wolfskin."
