Chapter 991
East Victory Divine Continent, Aolai Country.
Speaking of Aolai Country in East Victory Divine Continent, it is a big country, it can be said that it is an outstanding country, and its capital city is the center of Aolai Country.
High-ranking officials, aristocrats and nobles, are not a few in the entire capital city, and the only way for ordinary people to be among the ranks of these high-ranking nobles is to take the imperial examination and go to high school.
Therefore, the imperial examination examination has become the only way for the poor students to advance. They have studied hard for ten years in order to stand out in this imperial examination examination and be reused by the Imperial Court.
capital city.
It has been more than a year since Ye Xuan accompanied Li Youyun to Capital City. It took half a year for them to travel from Lotus Village to Capital City.
The mountains are high and the rivers are long, the gangsters are rampant, and the Demon cannibalism happens. On the way, Li Youyun has experienced too many unimaginable hardships.
Robbers robbery, Demon strikes, heavy rain, various natural and man-made disasters can be said to accompany Li Youyun, he even got wind-cold syndrome on the way to Beijing, and almost died.
Mortals are extremely miserable. I just say that the students from all sides of the imperial examination examination gathered in the capital. It is better for students from wealthy families to protect them all the way. They can also be guaranteed in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. If you encounter things like demons and ghosts, you can only sigh bad luck.
Not to mention the poor students, who lack food and clothing on this long journey, are more likely to be sick, or be intercepted by robbers, and have gone through many ups and downs to reach the capital.
So the first test of the imperial examination is the way to go to Beijing to rush the exam. I don't know how many poor students died in the middle of the journey.
And Li Youyun has never been far away. The journey of the past six months almost cost him his life, but it really made him realize what is called suffering in the world.
Fortunately, every time Li Youyun almost died in Yellow Springs, he was lucky to survive. Of course, all of this is due to Ye Xuan and Huang Fatty.
After half a year of rushing, Li Youyun has long lost the ambition of just leaving the lotus village, just like an eggplant beaten by frost-wilted!
Weak and sickly, her body was thin, and her complexion was a little pale, as if a strong wind could blow Li Youyun to the ground.
Good Fortune Inn is very famous in capital city, because Good Fortune Inn only accepts students who go to Beijing to rush for the exam, and it can also be said to be a gathering place for scholars.
The reason Good Fortune Inn is so famous is that the Inn is completely free. It provides free board and lodging for students from all over the world, and also allows students from all over the world to have a place to stay in Capital City.
Inn.
The three of Ye Xuan are having a meal. The square table is just some simple steamed buns and vegetarian food, and there is a bowl of gruel that can be seen from the bottom.
"Big Brother Ye Big Brother Huang, let's eat more. Good Fortune Inn does not provide dinner." Li Youyun finished the bowl of porridge in one bite, and there was not even a drop of rice left.
"You Yun, there will be the imperial examination in half a month. Your body is too weak. You can eat more to have the strength to study." Ye Xuan sighed softly and handed a steamed bun in front of him. Li Youyun.
"Brother, no, you only drank a bowl of gruel yesterday. You must have been hungry for a long time. This bun Youyun must not be eaten." Li Youyun flatly refused.
"It’s okay, I have practiced some martial arts for my brother. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat for three or five days. But your body is too weak. If you don’t eat a little enough, how can you have the energy to study? Don’t you want Gold Did the List title go to high school?" Ye Xuan scolded.
"Brother, I...!"
Li Youyun's eyes are red, and his nose is a bit sour. If Ye Xuan did not take care of him in the past six months, he might have died on the road. Among.
He still clearly remembered that a group of robbers blocked the way. It was Ye Xuan and Huang Fatty who fought them back, and suffered multiple stab wounds. He remembered all of this in his heart.
"You Yun, I'm not hungry, you eat these two steamed buns soon." Huang fatty faintly sighed, and handed Li Youyun the steamed bun in front of him.
"Well, dignified big man, how twitchy, let you eat and eat, and when you get the number one prize in the future, I will return ten times a hundred times." Ye Xuan faintly smiled and said.
"Brother, I will eat."
Li Youyun ate the steamed buns with tears in his eyes, and Ye Xuan and Huang Fatty also finished the gruel in the bowl. In fact, this Congee is just a bowl of water with rice, how can it really fill the stomach.
Of course, Ye Xuan and Huang Fatty don't need to eat at all. All of this is just for Li Youyun to see.
Good Fortune Inn only provides one meal a day, but Ye Xuan and the three people walked for half a year before they arrived in the capital. They had already used up all their entanglements, so they had the current state of despair.
Of course, not only Li Youyun, but also other poor students are almost the same. If there is no Good Fortune Inn, these poor students would really fall into the street.
The poor family is bitter, the scholar is even more bitter, and the Gold List title is their only way out.
"The two elder brothers are waiting for me here, and You Yun will return when they go."
Looking at Ye Xuan and Huang Fatty's poor rice grains in clear soup, Li Youyun's heart is extremely desolate, he As if he had made some decision, clenched the teeth left the square table, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Sir, Li Youyun has experienced a year of suffering in the world, and his arrogant body has also been polished to be slightly rounded, so let's just let it go." Huang Fatty tentatively said.
"Greed, hatred, resentment, love, parting, please..."
"This is just the beginning, let you and I continue to watch." Ye Xuan faintly smiled and said.
In the Inn wing room.
Li Youyun's complexion is sometimes red and pale, as if experiencing an inner choice, but in the end he still clenched the teeth fiercely, picked up the package containing pen, ink, paper and inkstone and walked out of the room, and then quickly left the Inn. .
"Sir, where is he going?" In the void, Huang Fatty was slightly surprised.
"Let's see if you follow it." Ye Xuan faintly smiled.
……
Chenghuang Temple.
It should be said that this city’s god temple is an extremely lively and prosperous area of capital city, ranging from the nobles of the palace to the common people. Every day, the city’s gods’ temples are endless.
Burning incense and praying, praying for reciprocal vows, there are vendors on both sides of the street selling endlessly, and you can even see fortune-telling storytellers talking and talking.
Li Youyun was sitting at a square table with a flushed face, and a banner stood beside him, and he wrote two characters: Selling paintings!
Apparently, Li Youyun couldn't bear Ye Xuan Huang Fatty's diet for him. He went to Chenghuang Temple to sell some of his calligraphy and paintings in order to exchange some money.
It is insulting to be gentle, and is in the company of copper smell.
Be aware that in Aolai Country, scholars are proud of themselves. If they make a living by selling calligraphy and painting, they will look down upon other scholars.
And this is why there are that many poor students in Good Fortune Inn. They would rather eat only one meal a day of free food at Good Fortune Inn than go out with their own calligraphy and painting.
"This kid has a heart." Huang Fatty turned her eyes slightly, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"The suffering of a mortal is the suffering of life. He can realize the difficulties of life. This is just the beginning." Ye Xuan whispered softly.
Time is passing by a little bit. Although the front of the Chenghuang Temple is very lively, Li Youyun is not having a good time. After one hour has passed, he has not even sold a single calligraphy or painting.
