Three days later

Lingnan is wet and rainy, but the morning in Lingnan is extremely wonderful. A few rays of morning light shone through the paper holes on the windows and fell into the house, forming several columns of light.

The air in the morning is also extremely fresh, with a hint of bamboo unique to Lingnan, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

After Li Sanjian, who was getting up early, looked at the bean sprouts that were sleeping soundly, he took advantage of the morning light to hold a book called "The Analects of Confucius" and copied it while reading it.

"If a disciple enters, he will be filial; if he leaves, he will be careful and trustworthy, love the masses, be close to the benevolent, and have the extra energy to do so, so he can learn literature."

Li Sanjian read aloud gently while copying it on paper.

In this world, books such as "Poetry", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "Book of Zhou Li", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius" must be read and mastered by scholars. The county professors at the bottom of the Song Dynasty's official school are basically the same, and they also need to learn some content in history, rules, and various philosophers.

So far, Li Sanjian was still unable to enter the official school, but Li Sanjian was not discouraged and did not delay when he had time to study and practice calligraphy.

At present, Li Sanjian is becoming more and more interested in reading.

Why didn't you find these books interesting before? Li Sanjian thought while copying, especially the Analects of Confucius, which is worthy of being a classic work of the Confucian school, the jurisdiction of the Five Classics, and the throat of the Six Arts.

However, what moved and depressed Li Sanjian was that there were no punctuation marks in the book, which made Li Sanjian dizzy. Perhaps there were simple marks on other exquisite books, but the books in Li Sanjian's hands were simply printed, and they were all squeezed together, which was extremely difficult to read.

This is one of the purposes of Li Sanjian reading and copying. Li Sanjian added punctuation marks to the copied part, but did not dare to mark it on the original one.

Li Sanjian was reluctant to write the only books Li Sanjian got from Su Shi.

"Tao it with politics and discipline, so that the people are exempted from shamelessness; Tao it with virtue and ritual, so that it is shameful and charitable... brother!"

Hum? Li Sanjian was shaking his head and reading hard, and suddenly a call came from behind him. Li Sanjian thought it was his echo, so he turned around and looked, it turned out that it was Xiao Douya who woke up...

"Douya, are you awake?" Li Sanjian quickly got up and pressed Douya back into the quilt and smiled: "Do you miss dad, mother?"

"Brother, how do you know?" Xiao Douya asked in confusion after blinking her big eyes.

"Because you keep shouting in your sleep." Li Sanjian shook his head slightly and said, "Do you still remember your father and mother look like?"

At this time, Li Sanjian became more and more pity for Xiao Douyao. He was separated from his father and mother since childhood. He could only meet them again in his sleep.

"Brother..." Douya didn't answer, and a few tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, it's because my brother is not good. He mentioned the sad things about Douyao again. Douyao, are you hungry?" Li Sanjian quickly comforted him when he saw this.

Pang Langzhong's medicine was indeed miraculous. After three doses of medicine were taken, the bean sprouts would be out of danger. After three days, they would be basically fine. However, the bean sprouts slept for three days and ate very little during this period.

"Yeah..." Douya nodded, and her little head was almost retracted into the sheet, revealing only two shiny eyes.

Li Sanjian smiled and walked to the door and said, "Shankui, go and cook some porridge."

"Yes, master." Shankui, who was chopping firewood at the door, replied.

"Brother...you are so good." Douya suddenly spoke to Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian News

Yan was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Since you're good, you have to listen to your brother, right?"

"Well, Douya has been listening to my brother." Douya nodded.

"Since that's the case, let's drink the medicine first?" Li Sanjian said then.

"Brother, the medicine is so bitter." Douya said aggrievedly when he heard this.

"Hehe" Li Sanjian smiled and said, "A good medicine is good for the disease. If you don't drink medicine, how can the disease be cured?"

Li Sanjian then picked up the soup that Shankui had just sent in on the table and watched the bean sperm finish drinking it.

"Master, the porridge is ready." Shankui said, holding a bowl of porridge in both hands.

Shankui held a bowl of porridge in his two giant hands, and he could hardly see the bowl.

Li Sanjian nodded and took the porridge.

During these days, it was really hard for him to make medicine and porridge, Li Sanjian said in his heart.

"Shankui, how about practicing calligraphy?" After Douya finished drinking the porridge, Li Sanjian asked Xiang Shankui.

Shankui nodded.

Shankui didn't know Chinese characters, so Li Sanjian took the time to teach him how to learn Chinese characters.

Li Sanjian had a "martial arts secret book" given by Yao Yu, but Shan Kui didn't learn calligraphy, so how could he practice martial arts? Therefore, Li Sanjian took the time to teach Shan Kui to learn calligraphy.

Although Shankui looks honest and honest, he is not stupid. He learns very quickly and can almost be taught by just one lesson.

"Yeah" Li Sanjian then took out the book given by Yao Yu, pointed to the words above and said to Shankui: "These two words are tigers. This sentence means that the tiger first explores its claws when going down the mountain, and the whistling sound returns to the mountainside. The next sentence is to thrust the hooves and escape from the cliff to the Sichuan Valley, and groups of ferocious beasts run around..."

In addition to the text, this book also has illustrations, which Li Sanjian can still understand. Although Li Sanjian understands it, he cannot practice Li Sanjian's small body. However, some of the methods to strengthen the body can still be learned from.

Shankui seems to have some talent in this regard, and he can almost learn it once. However, it is impossible to become a "martial arts master" with just one book. In the future, he will definitely find a famous teacher for him. Li Sanjian said in his heart.

Shankui bent his strong body and listened to Li Sanjian's explanation sideways. After drinking the porridge, Douya, which had gradually recovered from energy, lay on the head of the bed, watching the two brothers gesture strangely.

The medicine jar in the house was still steaming.

With a warm scene, the three of them are really like a family at this moment.

"Can the student Li Sanjian be here?" At this moment, a slightly older voice interrupted the warm scene.

"Ah? It's you..." Li Sanjian saw someone calling him, so he went out and saw a person standing at the door. He was the old man who had "broken" his county school gatekeeper a few days ago.

In fact, this old man is an old official in the county school and has been a county school clerk for more than twenty years.

"You can enter school...but..." The old official spoke hesitantly again at the critical moment.

Li Sanjian was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and then counted ten copper coins and handed them to the old official.

As the saying goes, one learns from one mistake or one gets familiar with one another, Li Sanjian immediately understood what he meant.

It is also said that the King of Hell is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with, so Li Sanjian was once again "exploded" by the veteran...

The old official took the copper coins and tucked them into his sleeves. The old face suddenly became full of spring and said to Li Sanjian with a smile: "But before entering the school, the entrance exam is still necessary."

"What is the entrance examination?" Li Sanjian asked.

"The entrance examination is the entrance examination." The old official replied.

"oh

, What does the student mean to take the exam? Please tell me clearly." Li Sanjian asked again.

"It's nothing more than a hundred surnames, thousands of characters, and other things. Only by passing this test can you enter the school." The old official replied.

Li Sanjian immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Li Sanjian studied under Su Shi for more than a year and had already memorized enlightenment books such as Thousand Characters and Hundred Family Names.

Since it should not be difficult for the entrance exam, Li Sanjian thought to himself.

What Li Sanjian didn't understand at this time was why did the county school officials refuse to enroll in the school?

Li Sanjian was puzzled by this, but he was not easy to ask in detail. After thanking the old official, he was preparing to take the admission exam for the county school the next day. However, before that, Li Sanjian had to prepare a dress.

If he was still studying in the worn Li family clothes, he would probably be kicked out again. Li Sanjian shook his head and smiled bitterly.

...........

There were two people in a ready-to-wear clothing shop in Lingshan County. After entering the store, they both looked at various colorful clothes curiously.

"What are you looking at? Go and go out to play." The servant in the store saw that Li Sanjian and others were dressed in rags and were not old, so he didn't want to pay attention to them, but he never thought that they were getting closer and closer, so he scolded.

"Let's buy some clothes." Li Sanjian had had enough of the various rolling eyes caused by his worn outfits, and he had become a little used to it. So he didn't bother with the servant and said to the servant calmly.

"Oh, what clothes do you buy?" The servant saw that the business came to the door and couldn't continue to drive them away, so he asked, but his expression was still disdainful. He didn't expect that they could not afford any good clothes, such as silk, satin, etc.

Sure enough, Li Sanjian pointed to some cotton clothes and asked, "How much does these clothes cost?"

"Three hundred documents per piece." The servant replied.

Li Sanjian shook his head, and his tongue was amazed in his heart. Why are ordinary clothes so expensive?

In fact, a piece of cotton clothing worth 300 is not expensive, of course, it is ridiculously expensive for Li Sanjian.

Then Li Sanjian ordered Shankui to withdraw two stagnant of money and buy two clothes for himself and Shankui.

Li Sanjian bought two gray long gowns. Each of Shankui's clothes was 200% expensive. The reason was that Shankui was tall and strong. As long as he chose a super large size, he could barely cover his skin that had been exposed.

Of course, the extra-large fabric costs much more...

"How many of those over there?" Li Sanjian then asked, pointing at silk, silk and other weaving clothes.

"It can be between two silos and hundreds of silos." The servant rolled his eyes and replied. Although the servant thought they could not afford it, he still answered for the sake of money, but he looked very impatient.

Let's go quickly. After leaving, the servant will take credit from the shopkeeper of the ready-made clothing store. Being able to get two staples of money from two poor men is a great achievement for the servant...

"Pick two small ones." Li Sanjian said expressionlessly.

Li Sanjian felt a little angry at this moment when he saw the person being low. Should the poor be so much rolling eyes or coldly treated?

This guy seemed to have eyebrow disease, and his eyes were rolling one after another...
