Chapter 1 An old scholar came to the village
At the foot of the mountain, Qingshan Village.
Just after dawn, a young man hurriedly opened the door.
"Chang Qing, don't leave in a hurry. These are two wild eggs. Take them with you to eat on the way."
A middle-aged man with a stooped figure and a few strands of silver in his hair stuffed two eggs into the young man's hand.
"Dad, Mom is not in good health, so I'd better give it to Mom. I'm not hungry."
Su Changqing looked at the egg in his hand and his throat moved up and down, but he still handed it back.
"Ahem, silly boy, my mother has already eaten. You can eat it on the road. How can you study when you are hungry?"
A woman walked out of the house, looked at the boy kindly, and reached out to touch the boy's head.
"Mom and Dad, I must study hard!"
After a moment of silence, Su Changqing nodded heavily, picked up the egg and ran towards the foot of the distant mountain like a wind.
The couple watched Su Changqing go away kindly, and they each breathed a sigh of relief until they could no longer see him.
"Can't you see it?"
"Well, they've all left the village, so they shouldn't be seen anymore."
"Hey, I'm exhausted from pretending."
With a flash of brilliance, the face of the woman who had been in poor health and coughing just now turned rosy.
An indescribably noble temperament emerged from his bones, and his whole person looked dignified and elegant.
‘Yeshu’ turned to look at the villager beside him, shook his head in a funny way and said:
“The current head of the Su family, a majestic family of great emperors, is actually pretending to be an old man here. I’m afraid he’ll be laughed to death if people find out.”
The middle-aged man, who had just stooped, gradually straightened his back and became tall and powerful. Just standing simply seemed to have the world under his feet.
'Su Nan' heard this and said angrily: "What do you think I think?"
"Do you want Chang Qing to be like his eldest and second brothers? One is crazy and the other is arrogant. Which one of these is the material to be the young head of the family?"
"This time I asked Chang Qing to train from the bottom, abandon his family background, and go through hardships. I will not let him become a playboy!"
Ye Shu shook his head and sighed after hearing this.
For this little son, Su Nan was really cruel and moved to Qingshan Village since Changqing was born.
In other words, Qingshan Village was established, because the entire village was made up of people from the Su family.
They pretend to be villagers in the mountains, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
And this costume lasted for eighteen years. During these eighteen years, they did not teach Chang Qing any practice or knowledge.
Just a simple tree of character and correct outlook on life.
It wasn't until Chang Qing's visit two days ago that Sunan invited an enlightened gentleman at a great cost.
The contemporary Ruxian, Li Qingchen!
"I heard that Mr. Li's teaching is extremely harsh. Will Changqing not be able to accept it for a while?"
Thinking of the literary leader, Ye Shu said worriedly.
"It's better to be harsh, so that you won't be complacent. I've told you sir, don't look at my face, the more harsh the better."
Su Nan chuckled confidently: "Besides, how can it be so easy to become a disciple?"
"Just watch, Chang Qing will come back in disgrace soon. I have agreed with Mr. Li that I will accept him after three apprenticeships."
"In this way, Changqing will cherish the hard-won opportunity more and study hard."
Sunan, who had failed in education twice, had done enough homework this time.
"Changqing should have no problem studying. He is very smart. When I taught him how to read, he remembered it in one go." Yeshu said hesitantly.
Although they have not taught Changqing any other knowledge over the years, they have learned simple reading and writing.
She remembered that Changqing was learning very quickly at that time, well, very quickly.
Hearing this, Su Nan waved his hands indifferently and said with a confident smile: "Ha, no problem? That's a contemporary Ruxian. Just watch, Changqing will be back before noon."
…
On the green mountain path.
Su Changqing, dressed in coarse clothes and linen, ran wildly into the morning light. The villagers who got up early and went to the fields on the road all smiled and said hello when they saw Su Changqing.
When Su Changqing ran away, everyone slowly put down their farm tools and started talking softly.
"Why did the young master get up so early today? Does the master of the family have new arrangements?"
"You don't know? The master of the family invited a gentleman from Zhongzhou yesterday to be the young master's first teacher."
"Ah? Who else does our family need to invite? This is too embarrassing!"
"Haha, the great master of Zhongzhou Holy Academy, Ruxian Li Qingchen, is he qualified?"
"That's enough, that's enough. It's too much for the head of the family to have a literary leader as the enlightenment teacher."
Everyone was amazed that Li Qingchen's reputation was so terrifying.
There are many great talents in the Chinese literary world in the Five Regions and Ten Kingdoms, but Mr. Li is the only one who has always been called the Immortal.
He was the leader of Confucianism and Taoism, a fierce man who would make the entire literary world tremble when he stomped his feet.
Unexpectedly, such a person only came to serve as an enlightenment teacher for the young master.
"It's just that Teacher Enlightenment invited Ruxian. Young Master has just started practicing. Who should the master of the family invite?"
A strong man murmured, his breath was not blocked, and the space around him suddenly screamed.
"Dad, I also want to study."
A young man next to the strong man raised his head and looked at the strong man eagerly.
"What a nonsense! You think your father is also a quasi-emperor!"
The strong man glared, and the young man immediately shrunk his neck and ran away.
"Tch, if you don't want to read it, don't read it. I'll let the young master teach me."
The young man muttered and fell a hundred feet away with one step.
…
Su Changqing was completely unaware of the discussion behind him.
On the way, he carefully took a bite of the precious egg with determination in his eyes.
"I have been here for eighteen years, and I don't even know which dynasty it is from."
"This time, after great difficulty, an old scholar who failed the exam came to the village. We must not miss this opportunity to learn!"
No one knew that when he was ten years old, he remembered the memories of his previous life.
Whether it is a big dream or reincarnation, it is always a wonderful thing.
With the experience and knowledge of an extra life, isn’t it easy to change this life?
However, Qingshan Village is too remote, with only a dozen or so households. They have no access to the village or any shops. They don’t even know what dynasty this place is.
But now is the opportunity!
Two days ago, an old scholar who failed the exam came to the village. His father begged for a long time and spent all his wealth to get him a chance to study.
"Don't worry, parents, I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Thinking of his parents who worked hard all their lives, Su Changqing's eyes showed tenderness.
Although my family in this life is not rich and powerful, my parents are excellent.
They are not highly educated, know very little about principles, and are not even strong in body and bones, but they attach great importance to their education.
Often a small thing can guide him to correct values and outlook on life.
Especially this time, the news of the old scholar's arrival was known to the whole village. Brother Erniu next door cried and wanted to come, but his father broke his leg immediately.
On the contrary, his parents were extremely supportive. Not only did they spend all their wealth, they also prayed for him for a long time.
As a rural couple who have been born in the mountains all their lives, it is very rare to have this understanding.
In short, for your own sake and to live up to your parents’ efforts and expectations, this apprenticeship must be successful!
"call"
After a while, the wooden house at the foot of the mountain was clearly visible.
Su Changqing breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face became serious. He stretched out his hands to straighten his messy sleeves, then walked slowly to the door, bowed his head seriously, and said softly, "My dear Su Changqing, come here to study."
