Martial Arts Master Travelled to Ancient Time and Farms

Chapter 22 The reality is already bitter, why not add some sugar

Cheng Ling couldn't help thinking: The small state of Qi has neither great unity nor a chaotic regime, yet it actually has imperial examinations!

If the world is dominated by aristocratic families, how can it be possible to allow imperial examinations in this country?

But it's not easy to ask this question directly, so Cheng Ling sighed with emotion: "No matter what, Brother Shi has a lot of fame and fame. After this hurdle, he will have a good future."

Unexpectedly, Shi Hong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Cheng, after the middle school, Shi also thought about seeking an official. Unfortunately, even if he donated a lot of money and silk, he had no way to seek an official."

It turned out that the imperial examination system in Qi State was not perfect. At present, only two grades of Tongsheng and Xiucai can be tested. Tongsheng isn't really famous, it's a scholar.

As for the talent to go up, what is it?

No, I don't know.

Shi Hong also had nowhere to go. After he got the title of a scholar, the neighbors were a little polite to him, but it was extremely difficult to go further.

Therefore, writing and knowledge are basically in the hands of the upper-level gentry.

Otherwise, Cheng Ling casually quoted a verse in front of Master Jin before, why did Master Jin's attitude towards her change in an instant?

In this world, people are really divided into three, six and nine classes. This is not the future of freedom and equality. This is a cruel feudal society!

From this point of view, it is really not easy for the original owner's father, Cheng Ming, to be able to read and obtain the qualifications for Tongsheng.

Either he was born exceptionally outstanding, exceptionally intelligent, or there was something in the Cheng family that Cheng Ling didn't know existed.

However, the original owner had no memory of this aspect, so Cheng Ling decided to ask Mu Sanniang when he had a chance in the future.

Shi Hong also said some things about the imperial examinations, and seemed to be sad: "Twenty years ago, when the late emperor first ascended the throne, he advocated to follow the example of the Northern Wei Dynasty and use the imperial examinations to gain official positions and open the road to the world's poor. To select talents for the country, to strengthen the nation.”

"Unfortunately, the late emperor passed away at an early age. Except for a few outstanding figures who were selected into the official circles as scholars in the early days, the road to becoming an official is now... Oh, there is nothing wrong with our poor family!"

He closed his mouth and stopped talking about the imperial examination, and instead talked about the chaotic army that occupied Lu County.

Previously, Hong Guangyi said he didn't know who the character was and what his origins were, but Shi Hong actually knew something.

He whispered: "Today, His Majesty has two uncles, one is in Nan'an and is named the King of Linhai, and the other is in Shaoling, who is named the King of Xiangxi. The two kings have long been dissatisfied with the fact that the young master is coming to the country. Jinshuihe flood, King Linhai..."

Having said that, Shi Hong paused, as if he didn't know how to continue.

However, Hong Guangyi's eyes were already flushed when he heard it, and at this time he only urged: "Brother Shi, you actually know the origin of those beasts! Why didn't you tell me earlier? They! Are they the army of King Linhai?"

What is the specific relationship between Shi Hong and Hong Guangyi?

In the previous conversation, Shi Hong actually mentioned it.

Before the two of them fell into trouble, one was a rich and noble man from a local squire's family, and the other was a brutal butcher who wielded a butcher knife in the market.

After escaping from Lu County that night, Hong Guangyi rescued Shi Hong inadvertently, and Shi Hong helped him take care of the family, and the two gradually became acquainted with each other.

It is said that true love is easy to see in times of adversity. In this particularly difficult environment, a scholar and a butcher have become good brothers with a life-and-death friendship.

But friendship is friendship, and the two people who have known each other not long ago actually have their own stories.

Mainly Shi Hong, there are some things he really didn't want to say before.

At this time, Shi Hong said bitterly: "Whether it is King Linhai's army, the younger brother is just guessing. If it is true, then we know about it, what can you and I do?"

Hong Guangyi's eyes were red, and the blue veins on his forehead said: "A certain is going to join the army! Go to the court to sue him King Linhai! A certain wants to kill someone, and wants to take revenge!"

He appeared dull in front of Cheng Ling, but he was actually a bloody person.

If it weren't for the bloody nature and the bottom line, when the cannibal refugees grabbed the children to eat, how could he fight to the death to grab the children?

Including Shi Hong, in fact, is also such a person.

Shi Hong went even further than Hong Guangyi, because Hong Guangyi robbed his own child, his family Hong Xiaolang, but the girl Shi Hong robbed was not actually related to him.

According to Shi Hong, this little girl named Yunniang was a child of his family.

That night was too chaotic, most of the people who rushed out of the city gate were chased to death, and a few people who risked their lives to escape were also injured and scattered.

Yun Niang was separated from her family, and she didn't know what she experienced later, and was captured by cannibals among the refugees.

When Shi Hong met her, she was almost washed and stripped and thrown into a pot of boiling water.

It's too thrilling, the child is only seven years old.

A small baby who used to be carved in pink and jade, called slaves and servants, and was raised by her family in the palm of her hand, but now she is thin and numb, and she has become a timid deer.

Can pick up firewood, can work, no chattering words, well-behaved and silent like a child.

But in the current situation, adults are also tired.

Although Shi Hong saved Yun Niang's life and planned to keep the child by his side, he didn't know where his future was, or whether he lived today or tomorrow.

So he didn't have any intention to pay attention to Yun Niang's psychological condition, at most he just reached out and patted her little head and told her to eat slowly.

Wolf meat is not easy to digest, and children have been hungry for a long time. It is not a good thing to suddenly eat too much.

Cheng Ling took it out of the bag, and finally took out two candies that had been peeled off.

There is a box of this kind of milk flakes in her backpack, thirty plates, ten pieces per plate.

Bai Shengsheng's round milk flakes lay in Cheng Ling's very clean palm, exuding a delicate and sweet milk fragrance.

Yunniang glanced at Cheng Ling with frightened eyes, then hid behind Shi Hong again.

Cheng Ling stretched out his palm and handed it to her, with a slight smile on his face, and said warmly: "Two candies, take one, and give one to your brother Xiaolang, okay?"

Hong Xiaolang is eight years old this year. He used to be a mischievous person, but now he has become very well-behaved.

He is the youngest son in the family, and he has not yet got a big name, so he is called Xiao Lang and Xiao Lang.

Hong Guangyi's eldest son died the night he left the city, and his wife and daughter were also injured not long ago. Now this bone and blood is left, and it is his only relative in the world.

Yun Niang didn't dare to take the candy at first, but when she heard that Cheng Ling wanted to give one to Hong Xiaolang, she finally summoned up the courage to stretch out her hand, and timidly and slowly, she grabbed the two candies in her palm.

She grabbed the candy, quickly retracted her palm, and hurriedly handed one to Hong Xiaolang.

Hong Xiaolang shoved the sugar into his mouth without hesitation, but Yun Niang looked left and right, and suddenly broke the sugar into two, one was stuffed into Shi Hong's mouth, and the other was handed timidly. To Hong Guangyi.
