Chapter 157 hastily ended

The sky was stained with blood, and the whole world was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere, making people almost breathless.

Countless people looked up at the horizon in the distance, their expressions either confused or frightened, and their hearts felt inexplicably heavy, cast by a thick haze.

Not many people know what happened, and not many people know what the vision over there means.

At this moment, countless places became quiet almost simultaneously, and the hustle and bustle of the past no longer existed.

The vision in the sky lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it dissipated, and the world returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened before.

After the previous dead silence and oppressive silence, when the vision dissipated, countless people started discussing in an uproar, all talking about the previous vision on the horizon.

The people who were discussing were in a heavy and depressed mood, but they could not find a solution at all after repeated discussions...

In Mingyue Tower, everyone averted their eyes.

The eloquent talks and cheerful smiles from before have long since disappeared. People look at me and I look at you, and they all look at a loss.

Most of the people here are knowledgeable people who have read poetry and books. Although they don’t know what the previous events represent, everyone is vaguely aware that something big has happened, or that something big is about to happen!

In the silent atmosphere, the county magistrate Niu Guishou coughed dryly, his expression was not as relaxed as before, and he said in an unnatural tone: "Everyone, let's continue, come, come, sit down, sit down. What happened before may be a bit weird, but there's no need to

care"

Before, it was a weird scene where the sky was dyed red. How could people not care?

But in the end, the things at hand are still important, and people sat down one after another with deep thoughts.

The atmosphere was not cheerful at all.

Originally, the teacher-appreciation banquet for twenty children was a happy day, and it was almost like mourning.

At Mingyue Tower, various delicacies were served, but due to the previous incident, the service staff were all cautious and did not dare to breathe.

In the face of delicious food, no one has an appetite. They all want to end it as soon as possible, leave here, and then find ways to find out what happened.

The teacher appreciation banquet was held in this weird atmosphere.

Everyone was uninterested, including the twenty new students including Yun Jing.

But there still had to be a ceremony. Niu Guishou, as the main figure at this teacher-appreciation banquet, said a few words dryly, and then asked Yunjing and the others to introduce themselves to each other.

Next, according to the usual practice, this occasion requires the candidates to use their talents to some extent, not necessarily to write poems, but they must come up with something special to prove themselves, but in such an atmosphere, this process is simply omitted.

Then, under the "reminder" of the "careful person", the twenty new boys went to serve tea to Niu Guishou one by one. This was a necessary process.

Yunjing was the first one, after all, he was the first in the county examination, followed by the other nineteen new students.

After the tea ceremony, these twenty new boys are nominally Niu GuiShou's students. They have a good relationship. If Niu GuiShou becomes a high-ranking official in the future and wants to promote anyone, he will be the first to think of him.

These 'students', after all, in the officialdom, often need help from their own people.

In official circles, ability often comes second. If there are no people below to support you, no people around you to support you, and no people above you to protect you, no matter how powerful you are, you will be squeezed out, marginalized, and ignored, and then you will be depressed.

He left sadly.

this is the truth.

The ceremony was carried out dryly. After the twenty children served tea, they went directly to the next step, where they were given clothes and their hair was tied.

Tongsheng clothing is a special style that can only be worn by scholars with Tongsheng meritorious status. It is used to distinguish Tongsheng from ordinary people. If people without meritorious status wear it, although it is not a serious violation of the law, they will be laughed at.

If you are ridiculed, if the situation is serious, you will be fined and slapped on the wall.

Of course, ordinary people wouldn't do that. Not to mention the shame, it would easily attract the circle of scholars to target them. Once you offend the circle of 'scholars', you won't get any good results even if you think about it, and you might be broken even for a trivial matter.

'It's over.

Children's uniforms are divided into winter and summer. Dynasty also took into account the factors of hot weather and cold weather.

The styles are actually the same, but the fabrics used are different. Some are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Both models come in a set, including headscarf, inner jacket, outer shirt, pants, shoes, and belt.

The colors are all gray and white, which is not ugly and looks very simple.

In the words Li Qiu quietly told Yun Jing, this is to let the students remember how difficult it was to learn before. It is not time to show off their enjoyment yet. They have just started on the road to learning and should continue to work hard in the future.

Yes, the clothes on your body are the best encouragement. It also tells them that studying and learning is not just for enjoyment.

Children's uniforms are usually worn on formal occasions. Under normal circumstances, you can wear whatever you like and no one will care about you.

At this time, the benefits of gaining fame through the imperial examination are reflected, and the benefits are full.

Children like Yunjing and others can go to the government to receive four sets of children's clothes every year, two sets each for winter and summer. Those from poorer families do not have to spend money on new clothes all year round.

In addition, they can also go to the government every year to receive two taels of silver, three hundred kilograms of rice, two writing brushes and two ink ingots.

There are not many things, but they are all benefits and are free.

To be honest, such benefits are enough for people to get by without doing anything.

Of course, such benefits cannot always be received. If you have not been admitted as a scholar at the age of thirty, such benefits will not be available.

Then, Tongsheng can also be exempted from corvee and military service. In short, there are many benefits.

This is the difference between people with fame and those without fame. Once they turn around, their lives will be completely different from now on.

This is just a child born. The scholarships, promotions, and scholarships above will only increase in number, and the various benefits and benefits will be more than ordinary people can imagine...

Because of the strange phenomenon that had occurred in the sky before, Yunjing and his twenty other children did not have much joy in the 'Happy Tit' suit, so the ceremony went on dryly and with a bit of embarrassment.

After receiving the 'suit', they went to a special room to change their clothes, and then came out for the final hair binding ceremony.

Before, they had two ugly horns on their heads when they were having children. After the baby was born, their hairstyle changed. They pulled their hair on top of their heads and tied it up with a scarf, as if they had a small bun on the top of their heads.

Still a little ugly...

When the hair is tied, those who have a mentor will help tie their hair. For those who do not have a mentor, as the nominal teacher, Niu Guishou will help tie the hair.

The process of tying one's hair is vaguely akin to a coming-of-age ceremony, and is relatively rigorous. After all, after a child is born, he or she is able to rely on the country's welfare and be considered self-reliant.

After dressing and tying up their hair, Yunjing and the others dressed neatly and once again served tea to Niu Guishou. This process was finally over.

Originally, according to the usual practice, Niu Guishou, as their 'sir', would get close to these students. If he liked someone, and this person did not have a mentor, he would also accept a few real disciples in public, and then

Just eat and drink.

But something like that had happened before, and no one was in that mood, so the teacher-appreciation banquet ended hastily.

I estimate that this teacher-appreciation banquet was the most sloppy one in recent years. There was not even a hint of joy in the whole process.

It's quite embarrassing.

At the end of the thank-you banquet, Niu Guishou, the county magistrate, left in a hurry. When he turned around, his expression became solemn and his brows were furrowed. It can be imagined that he left in a hurry because he must be trying to find out what happened before.

Not only him, but most of the people present were the same. As soon as the teacher appreciation banquet ended, most of the people left. Even if there were a few left, they were not in the mood to eat. They were all discussing in low voices the previous vision in the sky.

, on the contrary, no one mentioned the teacher appreciation banquet and the twenty new boys.

Yunjing and the others left immediately with Li Qiu.

After leaving Mingyue Tower, Li Qiu's face lost the calmness and calmness of the past. He looked silent and frowned slightly.

"Master, do you know what happened just now?" Yun Jing couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yijian, Lin Yexing and others who were accompanying him also looked at Li Qiu. No one knew what the situation was and they all wanted to get the answer from him.

But Li Qiu also shook his head and said: "As a teacher, I don't know, I have never encountered such a thing, I have never heard of it, I have never seen it."

Having said this, he paused and added: "There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the sky is stained with blood. It is probably not a good thing. We must find a way to find out what happened. If something big happens, something can be done."

Prepare!"

His last words were vaguely reminding Lin Yaohua and Chen Yijian.

Accepting his affection, Lin Yaohua handed over his hand and said: "Mr. Li, I have something to do at home. I'm really sorry. I'd like to take my leave first."

"It doesn't matter, business matters." Li Qiu nodded and said. How could he care about Lin Yaohua and the others at this moment?

After Lin Yaohua and the others left, Li Qiu said: "Jing'er, you go back to the inn and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Good master", Yun Jing nodded.

Li Qiu left in a hurry, and Yunjing knew that he should have tried his best to find out what happened.

"Brother Jing, you're done"

At this time, Su Xiaoye ran out from the teahouse opposite and said, obviously also affected by the previous vision, his face was no longer lively as before.

Su Orion said with a heavy expression: "Let's go back to the inn first."

With his heart moving, Yun Jing glanced at Su Orion thoughtfully, but didn't say anything, and the group hurried back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Yunjing found an excuse to avoid Wang Bolin and the others, found Su Orion alone, and asked: "Father-in-law, do you know the cause of the previous vision?"

"I don't know either," Su Orion frowned and shook his head.

Then you are still so nervous? I thought you knew something, Yun Jing was slightly speechless.

Unexpectedly, Su Orion said again: "Although I don't know what happened specifically, I can go to the army... Well, I heard a sentence occasionally before, which described the blood-stained sky situation before!"

"What are you talking about?" Yunjing asked curiously.

After thinking about it, Su Lihu did not hide anything and said: "I heard what I heard, Xiao Jing, don't take it seriously, just listen to it for now. Don't tell others, so as not to cause trouble. That sentence says 'The sky is stained with blood'

,The world will be in chaos'!"

After a pause, he added: "I don't know why there is such a statement. Anyway, this is what I heard. You don't have to take it seriously. Just listen to it. You are still young. These things are not what you should worry about.

of"

The sky is stained with blood, and the world will be in chaos...

Yunjing chewed on this sentence in his heart. Doesn't it mean he didn't say it?

Although Yunjing still didn't understand what happened, he didn't know whether the world was in chaos or not, but he could imagine that after this incident, it would definitely lead to unrest across the country.

No matter where it is, there is never a shortage of people who take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Yun Jing can guarantee that after the blood-stained sky happened, some demons, ghosts, ghosts, snakes and gods will definitely jump out to cause trouble!

You can't use common sense to treat people with abnormal psychology.

Isn’t it good to have peace in the world?

That kind of person just doesn't like world peace...

With thoughts flickering in his mind, Yun Jing asked: "Father-in-law, what are your plans next?"

"If you have any plans, just go home. If the sky falls, tall people will hold it up and it won't hit us," Su Orion said in a relaxed tone.

Yun Jing thought the same thing, there was no use thinking about those messy things.

Not long after, Li Qiu came back, with still no smile on his face and a slight frown on his brows.

After meeting Yunjing and the others, Su Orion immediately asked: "Mr. Li, have you heard anything?"

"No," Li Qiu shook his head directly, and then added: "Almost everyone is paying attention to this matter now. If you don't pay attention, it may cause a big chaos. The government is probably already in a state of distress, and it is impossible to know the specific reason in a short time.

I have sent letters to many parties, and I don’t know whether I will get a reply or not. I can only wait.”

Waiting is the most confusing thing, because you don't know what kind of result you will wait for in the end, and there may even be no result at all.

Su Orion was not surprised by Li Qiu's answer and asked, "What are Mr. Li's next plans?"

After glancing at the young Yun Jing and Su Xiaoye, Li Qiu didn't say much and said, "Go back first and stay the same to cope with all changes."

"That's all we can do," Su Orion said helplessly.

Nodding, Li Qiu said: "Brother Su, I just vaguely heard that in order to prevent riots, the county gate is likely to be temporarily closed. It can't be delayed, so we have to leave immediately."

"Well, in that case, let's say goodbye and drink together again when we have the chance," Su Orion said without hesitation.

When Su Xiaoye heard what they said, she looked at Yun Jing and said reluctantly: "Brother Jing, are you leaving?"

"Yeah, I always have to go back," Yun Jing said with a smile.

Su Xiaoye said gloomily: "Oh, then will you miss me?"

"Yes." Yunjing touched her little head.

Stretching out her little hand, Su Xiaoye said happily: "It's settled, let's pull the hook."

"Okay, let's pull the hook," Yunjing also extended his hand.

"Hehe, brother Jing remembers missing me. When I grow up and marry you, we won't be separated..." Su Xiaoye said with a blush.

Yunjing nodded and said, "Of course."

"Well, Brother Jing, after we separate today, when can I see you again?" Su Xiaoye then hesitated again.

Smiling, Yunjing said: "That's not easy. If you miss me, just go to my house to find me. Well, if you can't find me at my house, you can go to Niujiao Town. Just go to the school and ask.

Know where I am”

"That's right. Let's just say that. I miss you and I will go directly to you."
