In ancient times, before taking the exam, Yixiu dreamed that he and his cousin were stripped naked and slept back to back! He felt strange, so he went to the fortune teller to ask, but the gentleman told him: It's no fun, let's go home! However, the shopkeeper said something and asked him to go straight to high school!
Li Xing, a young man who grew up in a scholarly family, has been determined to be at the top of the imperial examination since he was a child.
His family has always had a strong academic atmosphere, and his parents wanted him to carry on the family tradition and become a future pillar of the country.
But just when Li Xing was in high spirits, a sudden family accident caused the originally prosperous family business to decay overnight, the family was in trouble, and the former glory was no longer there.
Despite the hardships of life, Li Xing is still determined to study hard and Xi, looking forward to the day when he can revive the family's reputation and make it brilliant again.
Over time, Li Xing has grown into the most outstanding student in the village school. The Mr. of the village juku praised him and thought that he would shine one day.
In order to further hone his studies, Mr. Li Xing strongly recommended Li Xingyuan to go to the county academy for further study. Although Li Xing longed for it, his family was in dire straits and could not afford the expenses of the college. This situation caused him to fall into deep contemplation.
When the Li family was in trouble, a relative named Zhang Yuanyuan was fortunate to help. Zhang Yuanyuan has been doing business in the capital for many years and has accumulated a lot of wealth.
After learning about Li Xing's situation, he felt deep sympathy and resolutely decided to help.
He thought that aspirants should have a chance to show their talents, so he generously took out money to help Li Xing realize his desire to go to the county academy.
Li Xing was moved to tears by the selfless dedication of this benefactor, and vowed to repay this kindness.
When he first entered the academy, Li Xing met many outstanding students from all over the world. Here, he studied diligently, tirelessly acquired knowledge, and gradually became one of the best students.
Three years have passed in a hurry, and at this time, Li Xing has already made a name for himself in the academy, not only knowledgeable, but also has unique insights.
One day, the College was fortunate enough to invite a learned man to visit. This great Confucian is very knowledgeable and admirable.
Li Xing admired this person very much, and in class, whether he listened to the lecture or argued, he was engrossed in it, and he felt that he had benefited a lot.
Once, Li Xing and Da Confucian had a heated discussion on national affairs in class. Da Ru was greatly admired by Li Xing's unique ideas.
After that, Da Confucian had high hopes for Li Xing's talent and encouraged him to participate in scientific expeditions in order to fulfill his political ambitions.
However, due to the high cost of the imperial examination, Li Xing was in a dilemma, wondering if he should give up on this unattainable dream.
Just when Li Xing was disheartened, the wealthy Chen family learned of his predicament and resolutely decided to sponsor him to complete this fate-changing journey.
With Chen's assistance, Li Xing finally took the step of going north to Beijing. The arduous trek along the way made him deeply understand the hardships of people's livelihood. All this strengthened his determination to work for the well-being of the people.
When the autumn was full of flavor, Li Xing came to the capital and lived in a time-honored inn called "Sanyifang".
The innkeeper Wang Defeng is super nice and cares about Li Xing very much, not only arranging comfortable accommodation for him, but also often telling him the stories and culture of the capital.
Under Wang Defeng's careful care, Li Xing quickly adapted to life in the city.
During Li Xing's preparation days in the capital, he devoted himself to intense Xi day and night, almost to the extent of forgetting to sleep and eat.
In order not to burden Li Xing, Wang Defeng always silently placed hot meals in his room.
It was this silent care that made Li Xing feel the warmth he had not seen for a long time, and strengthened his confidence in overcoming difficulties.
However, in the days when the imperial examination was approaching, a series of absurd and bizarre dreams disturbed Li Xing's heart.
He dreamed that he was growing vegetables on top of a high wall, and no matter how carefully he cared for them, those vegetable seedlings could not thrive, and he dreamed that there was a violent storm in his hometown, and he staggered to resist the forces of nature in his clothes and umbrellas, and then he dreamed that he and his childhood sweetheart were lying naked and back-to-back in bed, and the scene in this dream made him feel even more strange.
Li Xing was worried, afraid that these dreams would be unpredictable in the examination room.
In order to clear up the doubts in his heart, Li Xing went to Plum Blossom Lane to find a famous blind dream interpreter. He told the dreamer about his strange dreams, hoping to get some revelation from them.
Unexpectedly, the other party gave a frustrating answer, predicting that his future in the imperial examination was bleak, and even persuading him to give up as soon as possible, so as not to waste his energy. These words made Li Xing's heart fall to the bottom.
Returning to Sanyifang with a depressed mood, Li Xing confided in Wang Defeng about his troubles. king
Defeng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and he told Li Xing that there was no need to be too superstitious about these dream theories, maybe they were just a sign of his bright future.
Wang Defeng inspired Li Xing with philosophical words and ignited the flame of hope that was extinguished in his heart.
Li Xing walked into the imperial examination room with firm conviction. In the face of complicated exam questions, although he has experienced setbacks, he has always adhered to the belief of never giving up in his heart.
On the day the list was released, he trembled and looked for himself among the many names, and finally found his name among the titles of the gold list - the glorious and extraordinary title of the list.
After the good news came out, Wang Defeng cheered for Li Xing's achievements, knowing that his hard work and sweat would eventually pay off. Li Xing is also grateful and thanks Wang Defeng for his companionship and support along the way.
Since then, he has embarked on a new career journey, not only in the officialdom, but also tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart's cousin and spent a sweet life together.
Time flies, and when Li Xing is coming to the end of his life, looking back on the past eventful years, he is full of emotion.
The tribulations and confusions of the past, the glory and happiness of today, these rich experiences are like a precious wealth of life, forever engraved in his heart.
He understands that on the long road to pursuing his dreams, one must not be fooled by superstition.
