The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

After lunch, the two brothers were busy with their own things. Su Lun, feeling a little tired, declined Su Zheng's company and quietly returned to his own world. He took off his shoes and socks, put on light clothes, and lay down gently. At this moment, his thoughts were like misty clouds, drifting away with the wind...

Closing his eyes, Su Lun began to think deeply about his future path. He inherited the memories of the original owner and felt that the era he was in was somewhat similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in ancient China, when various countries were divided and wars were frequent. His country was called Dashun, and it was one of the three major powers along with the surrounding Chu and Tianqi. People often say that scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, in this era, scholars have the highest status. They can enter the officialdom through the imperial examination system and become important officials of the country. However, for poor students, it is not easy to pursue a career in officialdom.

Before this, Su Lun was just an ordinary high school student, and his biggest wish was to get into a good university. He did have excellent grades, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would not be a problem for him to get into a first-class university. However, things did not go as he wished. He had just finished the college entrance examination and had not yet entered university when he traveled to this world! Here, although there is also an imperial examination system, if poor students want to pursue a career in officialdom, they must enter the school to study and obtain a place in the provincial examination. Only after passing the provincial examination can they participate in the joint examination. After passing the joint examination, they can enter the palace examination and be selected layer by layer. Even if he is a genius, it will take four to five years! The process is a bit long, but as long as he wins the provincial examination, he can be exempted from military service. With the memory of the original owner and his own intelligence, he is confident that he can pass the exam smoothly!

However, the reality is that his eldest brother's leg was injured and he needed a long time to recover. Their family was now in urgent need of food and clothing, so how could they afford the expensive fees for the imperial examination? This was indeed a thorny problem.

As for agriculture, although Su Lun had experience in farming, the only two mu of land in his family could not support their lives. In this era, there were no hybrid high-yield seeds, no pesticides and fertilizers, and even if they cultivated carefully, the harvest was unpredictable.

Next is "work". In his mind, there are plots where the protagonists in the ancient world make a fortune by making soap or glass. However, the reality is cruel. He doesn't know how to obtain the materials and tools to make these items, let alone how to open up the market. In this era, people can barely make ends meet. Who has extra money to buy these luxury goods?

Su Lun silently crossed out his mind, and there was only one way left! "Business!" Unfortunately, this way was not easy to take. Business was not prosperous in this era and the status of businessmen was relatively low. In his mind, he recalled the scene of setting up a stall with his grandmother in the past. Although those days were poor, they were full of warmth and happiness. Now he did not have the capital to open a store. It was not realistic to set up a stall to sell snacks like in his previous life. It was good enough for the people in the village to solve the problem of food and clothing. Who had the spare money to buy snacks?

Su Lun felt an unconcealable sense of loss. She knew that the time travel legends depicted in novels and on the screen were nothing but fleeting dreams. In reality, success was not a miracle that could be achieved overnight, and time travel was not as easy as having a golden finger. There was only one way left - to join the army!

Joining the army became his most pragmatic choice. Although Dashun was one of the three great powers, its military strength was slightly inferior. The Tianqi Kingdom in the north was strong in military and horses, and repeatedly invaded the border between Dashun and Chu, causing great suffering to the people.

The previous emperor valued civil affairs and despised military affairs, and implemented benevolent policies, allowing the people to recuperate. However, this also led to the gradual decline of military power. After the new emperor ascended the throne, although he tried his best to turn the tide and promoted military generals, the military strength of Dashun was still difficult to compete with the other two major powers. Two years ago, Tianqi and the surrounding small countries of Xiyue invaded the border of Dashun. The general Xiao Yi, who protected the country, fought bravely, but was seriously injured and defeated due to the disparity in strength. In desperation, the emperor ceded three cities and compensated a large amount of gold, silver and grain in order to seek peace. Since then, the court has attached more importance to conscription. Any civilian family with more than two young and middle-aged workers aged 18 to 26 must have at least one person enlist in the army, unless they pass the examination for a scholar or above, they can be exempted from military service.

Su Zheng is only 20 years old, and should have shouldered the heavy responsibility of the family and the country. However, because his brother Su Lun suffered from dementia, he was able to temporarily avoid military service. Now Su Lun has recovered and is about to turn 18, and the military service is imminent. It is impossible to pass the examination to be exempted from military service, and my eldest brother's leg injury has not healed. I will never let my eldest brother take risks. Although I am afraid, I also know that as a man, I should protect my family and my country. From tomorrow on, I must strengthen my exercise and strengthen my body in case of emergency.

In his previous life, Su Lun was bullied for family reasons when he was young. Fighting was commonplace, but he also developed good skills. When he first arrived in the county to set up a stall, he encountered gangsters looking for trouble and collecting protection fees. Su Lun relied on his fists to make them dare not show up from then on. Su Lun knew that only with a strong fist can people not dare to bully him! Even before the college entrance examination in his previous life, Su Lun never gave up training himself. Now the memory is still there. As long as he keeps training, I believe that he can recover the level of his previous life in time. Thinking of this, Su Lun felt a little relaxed. Every boy has a heroic dream. In his previous life, Su Lun also yearned for those PLA uncles who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood. Unexpectedly, he had the opportunity to realize it in this strange world... Su Lun was immersed in his thoughts, and sleepiness came like a tide, gently bringing him to sleep.

When dusk fell, he woke up as if from a dream, and walked lightly to the courtyard. He saw Su Zheng busy sorting out the dried beans and some dried vegetables whose names he didn't know. His figure seemed particularly busy and warm in the dim afterglow. Su Lun called softly: "Brother..." Su Zheng turned his head and was surprised to find that Su Lun was standing beside him. He smiled warmly and said: "Alan, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Let me take care of these trivial matters, you go and rest."

Su Lun smiled and shook his head, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, "It's okay, I'm a little stiff after lying down for a long time, but I feel comfortable when I move." Su Zheng heard this, and his hearty laughter echoed in the night sky, "If you feel tired, you must tell me, don't force it." Su Lun joked, "Brother, when did I become diligent? You know I have always been lazy." Su Zheng looked at his brother dotingly, his eyes full of warmth and love, "You, boy, are still as lively as when you were a child."

The two brothers worked together and cooperated tacitly, and soon they tidied the courtyard in an orderly manner. As night fell, at dinner time, Su Lun served two dishes and a soup. Although it was not rich, it contained the taste of home and exuded a warm and sweet atmosphere. On this quiet night, the two brothers sat around a table, enjoying simple food, talking about daily trivialities, and enjoying the tranquility and happiness of home.
