MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 9

Qingchuan came, wearing a blue shirt and neatly tied up, especially like a scholar. The old lady was very excited when she saw him, she stepped forward and slapped her, "You don't even say hello for such a big thing."

The little nephew, who had been brainwashed and thought that the uncle was the most capable, shrank his neck, hid behind his mother, and whispered in a low voice, "My uncle is all talented. Mother is the best."

The people on the side hurried up to stop the old lady, "Old lady, it's a good thing, a good thing, why are you still annoyed when the child is good?"

Actually, the old lady just patted it casually, it didn't hurt at all, Qingchuan was patted a few times, and pretended to hide, with a smile on her face, "Isn't this not sure, I'm afraid the big guy will joke. Who knows if you are lucky enough to be admitted, but it is the countdown, and it can't be compared with the serious school."

The villagers complimented him, "No, no, you are smart, otherwise, if you haven't been admitted to school, how can you be admitted?"

This doesn't sound like it, Qingchuan laughed, "Although I have been studying for two years, but I haven't given up these years. It just happened that I made some money in the past two years, and I have time to study. The teachers in the provincial capital also know a lot, so they often ask questions. The teacher sees that I am hardworking, and is willing to teach me, and even encourages me to take the test. Why don’t I take the courage to try it? Who knows good luck, I wiped it off."

After exerting the ability to fool the three-inch tongue to appease the over-excited Jiang family, Qingchuan stayed in the village for more than ten days before returning to the provincial capital.

He still likes a person's life, and he doesn't want to communicate too much with anyone else, even the original owner's family.

With the newly released scholar status, Qingchuan entered an academy in the provincial capital. A transfer student like him who came in halfway, without the advantages of age, talent, or family background, was forgotten in the back of his head after being fresh in the academy for two days.

Most of the academies are young students, they eat and live in the academy, and a small number of scholars like Qingchuan are day students. Qingchuan has less time than them, because he has to work and study to support himself, which is why the dean is not optimistic about him. Originally, his talent is not top-notch, and he has to spend half of his time on trivial matters other than studying. superior.

No matter what others think, Qingchuan follows his own plan step by step. He also began to practice the scrolls given by the golden lunatic. Every day, the system saw his hands and feet as slow as he did Tai Chi, and they would laugh at him as an old man's body-building boxing.

In this way, five years later, at the age of twenty-three in Qingchuan, he once again rubbed his tail and narrowly crossed the line, becoming a juren, and the only one of the five talents in their academy to be admitted Yes, the dean was stunned. Every day, the person who cantilevered the beam, the cone, and the thorn didn't pass the test. How can a man who just pinch clay figurines open a shop still pass the test?

Qingchuan was admitted to the Juren once again, and the county gave 22 bonuses. The villagers proposed to build a Juren archway. Qingchuan thought about it and built a school. Liang's wages hired an old scholar to teach and enlighten in the village. As long as the children of the village and the girls married in the village can come to school for free, the annual wages are paid by Qingchuan.

The conditions in the village are just like that. Ninety-nine percent of the children can't afford to go to school. Qingchuan's money is well spent, which directly gives the children another choice. You are not fools. You know the benefits of reading and literacy. Even if you don't take the imperial examinations, you can learn some characters and know a little arithmetic. You can go out to be a shopkeeper in the future.

In a short period of time, the school-age children in the village and the school-age children sent by the married girls filled the small village school, and the old village chief hid behind a pillar at the door, tears in his eyes.

Qingchuan went back to the provincial capital after finishing the things here. The villagers had nowhere to express their gratitude, so they had to send some vegetables and wild fruits to the Jiang family from time to time to express their gratitude.

The benefits of being a family member can hardly be explained, even Qingchuan's third brother, who has gone to the county to be a married son-in-law, has benefited. His father-in-law, who had looked down on him very much, became much more enthusiastic, and he inquired about Qingchuan's marriage, trying to introduce his niece to him.

The old lady has been getting younger and younger recently, and she even went back to her parents’ home during the Chinese New Year. In the past, the two sides had not communicated for more than ten years because of the desperation. Now Qingchuan has become a leader, and he has bought a lot of good things for his mother and invited the little girl to serve. The old lady has a straight waist, wearing silk satin with gold Silver jade, sitting in a small sedan chair 'Homecoming'.

His mother-in-law's family is a landlord with hundreds of acres of land.

. I heard before that when my nephew became a scholar, these uncles still didn't care, it was just a scholar, so it sounded nice, but it was different.

At the level of raising people, trusting relationships can be a clerk and a master in the county yamen, and the junior officials of the ninth grade are also officials. No matter how rich their landlords have more land, they are still sheep. Same with wolves. A ruling class and a ruled class naturally form a food chain.

Several uncles were particularly reluctant to show their faces. They laughed and complimented their estranged sister on the spot. They asked why there was no one around for the little nephew, and then they asked if it was inconvenient to bring students , I have to send two book girls over there. The old lady is not easy to fool, she accepts all compliments, promises? No, don't think about it, it's impossible.

Qingchuan just spent 200 taels to buy 50 acres of mountain fruit, the land deed was handed over to the old lady, and she said in front of several brothers, this orchard is for the old lady When the old lady is old, he is far away from the provincial capital, and his hard-working elder brother is filial. When the old lady has passed away for a hundred years, the land will be distributed to several brothers according to the old lady's request.

At this time, everyone especially misses the time when there was no separation. If there is no separation, there are more benefits. It's a pity that the points have been divided for many years. The younger brother has settled in the provincial capital. It is not interesting to say anything else. It is better to coax the old lady more, and then I can share some benefits in the future.

So the old lady has been having a good life recently, she has money and land, her son and daughter-in-law are filial, the villagers hold it, there are maids to serve, and she wears all the good things from the provincial capital. . She really despised the silver taels and benefits promised by her younger brothers.

Don't look confused, the old lady knows that she doesn't need to ask for help, the younger son is her confidence, only others ask her. But because of this, the old lady couldn't agree to anything that might harm the interests of the younger son, no matter what benefits the other party offered in exchange.

After being admitted to the juren, the days did not become special. Everyone thinks that he is really a weird person. He has no wife, children and friends. He lives by himself, cooks and does laundry by himself, hardly interacts with neighbors, and has a weak relationship with teachers, teachers and classmates, but it is not necessarily indifferent, because every time he comes to the door They will be well entertained, and there is no shortage of favors on holidays, but they don't like going out and prefer to hide at home and make clay figurines.

The clay figurines in his shop have been selling very well recently, especially those with the theme of teaching and educating people. He is blessed by his title of juren. Even if there is no shortage of people in the family, he is willing to buy a few for the children, to ask for a good meaning .

If he is still a craftsman, kneading clay figurines is his livelihood, and it has nothing to do with art. The chain of contempt from one class to another class cannot be broken by even the best craftsmanship. But Qingchuan became a Juren, and kneading clay figurines is no longer a livelihood, but his unique hobby. It is the same as other literati who like to draw and write. It is this kind of thinking that makes the clay people in Qingchuan suddenly have a similar There is no high level of force, even if the price increases, the supply is still in short supply.

As a person, with superb technology, advanced creativity and high-end aesthetics, Jiang Xiaoyu clay figurine became famous at once. Before you know it, when you talk about clay figurines, everyone will think of Jiang Xiaoyu clay figurine. The clay figurines in Qingchuan have become one of the city's business cards. a trip. Even the locals who live in the provincial capital also like to take clay figurines as gifts to relatives and friends.

On the way to the imperial examination, Qingchuan did not give up his craftsmanship for a day. His works stabilized at over 90 points early on, reaching the first 'master craftsmanship'. Mission requirements, 500,000 points are in hand. But he still practiced all the time, even if the system told him that the teacher in the virtual classroom was a master at the highest level and could no longer teach him much, Qingchuan still went to class on time every day.

The average score of the works is slowly brushed from the early nineties to ninety-nine, as if the distance from one hundred is a point, but it is more difficult than crossing the line of ninety.

The system is always alert to Qingchuan going crazy again, but he was surprised to be very calm, even if it took seven or eight years on this line, until Qingchuan was thirty-two years old, the second time Going to Beijing to take the exam, he is still a hundredth of a line away.

This time, Qingchuan passed the exam, and he performed well in the palace exam. Soon after, he was sent to serve as magistrate in a remote county in the south. He worked diligently in that place, and encouraged farmers to develop planting and breeding routes on multiple routes according to the strategy of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

The climate is warm and humid, which is suitable for growing mushrooms. There was no mushroom planting technology in this era, so Qingchuan took the common people to set a precedent. It took two years of repeated experiments and cultivation to gain more mature experience in mushroom planting. In addition, he also set up literacy activities. The county paid for Tongsheng to go to the countryside to carry out literacy education. He only taught the commonly used 300 words and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100.

Qingchuan only wears cotton and linen fabrics, no gold, silver and jade ware, eats crude tea and light meals, and just kneads clay figurines for leisure and entertainment. He can’t even give filial piety to his superiors, so he can only give away the clay figurines he kneaded by himself every year. His Shangguan had collected everything, including gold, silver and jade ware, silk and satin, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings of famous people... Only here in Qingchuan, a pair of clay figurines are piled up in a box every year.

But in the seventh year of his tenure as an official, this small county has become a rich county from a barren county, relying on special mushrooms, mushroom oil, mushroom sauce and other products in the south. own name. He sent people to promote the technology of mushroom cultivation and mushroom production to the people, to break the monopoly of the rich class, and to make money for everyone. The rich are in the luxury market, the poor are in the market for basic needs, and caravans are formed by those without technology. At the same time, there have been scholars who have been tested for several years in a row, and they have also done a good job in education.

Everyone said that he was a high-ranking official, a good official, a parent official, although the people above him did not receive filial piety and didn't like him very much, and it could not be denied that Qingchuan was indeed very capable and responsible. So when Qingchuan suddenly resigned, everyone was surprised. Because Qingchuan's evaluations in recent years are all first-class, and he is about to be promoted, he did not expect to resign when he said that he would resign.

"Everything is going on in an orderly manner in the county. In fact, I don't need me anymore. In the future... um, I'm probably going to retreat to the mountains, right? I quite like that kind of life." Qingchuan said this to those who care about him the teacher said.

Qingchuan packed his luggage, only three boxes and a Wanmin umbrella. The ox cart squeaked forward, and Qingchuan quietly left the small county town where he had stayed for seven years without telling anyone.

"What a pity, did you just let it go? You put so much effort into supporting the mushroom industry among the local squire forces, and now it's all cheap for later generations. I think your teachers are all Are you too angry to speak?"

"He's angry? He's more than happy. Without me, a scumbag who doesn't obey orders, let a promising young man in his camp take over the fruits of victory, and in the future, he can send young officials with hard work. It's really killing two birds with one stone. He can't tell how happy he is at the moment. My personality is not suitable for a career, just because I'm impatient with these twists and turns. Since the mission of admiring the nation's fame has been achieved, there is nothing to do at this time. When to go?"

"Why don't you have a good relationship with your teacher? Maybe you have completed the task that thousands of people admired early." , It is very simple to have a good relationship with a certain person or even a certain group of people, but he just wants to show a kind of arrogant, stubborn, withdrawn and weird appearance, so that he did not even have a good relationship in the official circle in the same year.

"You said the opposite, if I really get along well with everyone, it will be an obstacle for me to complete the task." Qingchuan shook his head, "Human nature, people who see perfection everywhere will only I try to find faults, or simply break the perfection. But once there is a harmless fault, it is easy to accept it. My stubbornness and withdrawnness does not affect my grades, so they will not deliberately suppress it if I am good or not. , even willing to reach out to promote his reputation, because I am a 'eccentric' person, it is difficult to go far and not enough to be an opponent."

He opened the curtain on one side and saw the green **** fields on both sides. These canola flowers mainly produce rapeseed, and the pressed rapeseed oil is combined with accidentally crushed and crushed mushrooms to make mushroom sauces of various flavors. Mushroom sauce is sealed in jars and sent to all parts of the country together with various dried mushrooms. Together with the story of him, the county magistrate of mushrooms, leading the common people to grow mushrooms and become rich, it is possible to achieve national fame.

The system saw him in a trance, thought he was reluctant to leave, or was attached to his career, so he comforted him and said, "Even if you resign, you can come and have a look later. After so much effort, everyone will be sad if you suddenly have to leave. It doesn’t matter, it will be fine in a few days, you are still under forty now, and you still have a lot of time to develop other careers.”

"You're wrong again. When I was the county magistrate, I was obliged to develop people's livelihood. This is my job. But now that I have resigned, this county is the same as other counties. , won't be special just because I've worked before. If you can't even figure this out, it's pointless to be sentimental there, honestly, I doubt that such a person can insist on three or four worlds without breaking down .Have any of your former hosts been so obsessed with the past that they stagnated?"

The system was stabbed and sad, quiet like a wooden chicken.

"Now that the main quest has been completed, let's find a place with beautiful scenery to live a secluded life. My works have been in the ninety-nine points card for more than ten years, and I have a vague feeling At that level, there is only a little inspiration. One’s energy is limited, and I can’t waste my time elsewhere.”

"Is there nothing in this world that people can't let go of and don't want to lose anyway?" The system asked him back.

This time it was Qingchuan's turn to be silent for a long time, "It's gone," he said.

"Now? Was there ever?"

Qingchuan suddenly laughed, "Humans are very strange, sometimes fragile, and sometimes unexpectedly strong. I used to think that no matter what, I can't lose it, but if I lose it, it will be slowed down by time. Slow healing. Time is really the enemy of affection, and what I have the most now is time, isn't it?"

"You know, it's scary for people to know that they can have an infinite life. People here can be very enthusiastic and wholehearted, because this is their whole life, handed over Friends can last a lifetime, wives and children can last a lifetime, and even neighbors can last a lifetime. Can I? I’m just a passer-by, does a passer-by need any feelings?”

"Things are not as bad as you think." The system heard the host's sincerity for the first time, and it seemed to immediately understand why Qingchuan kept a distance from everyone, since separation was unavoidable Injury, it is better to stop the loss in time.

"I can't tell you the specifics, I can tell you only after this world is over. The first world is the primary election, and you are eligible to know after passing. But I can tell you for sure, I once Ninety percent of the hosts don’t have to have this kind of trouble, and you can enjoy every world to the fullest.”

Qing Chuan was thoughtful, but his face was still casual, "Really? Then I'll wait and see."

Leave it to the later world? Oh, I'm not doubting you, it's just individual differences, and there's always some difference in the final result."

"Of course there are master craftsmen, it takes talent, hard work, and a little flash of inspiration. These skills will always belong to you. However, if you don't practice for a long time, it may lead to downshifts, and now you haven't What kind of feeling, if you learn more things in the future, you will know which ones should be kept and which ones should be discarded. In the future, you will come into contact with many, many techniques. I can't tell you right now."

"Well, I see. It's just hard work and persistence. This is what I'm best at." Qingchuan laughed, he was not young anymore, and there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes when he smiled, but his eyes were bright and still the same. With childlike innocence.

"Like a snail, it crawls slowly and can't find its way. It doesn't matter, keep crawling forward."
