The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

When Lu Youtian recalled the past, he couldn't help but burst into tears, especially when he talked about the deaths of Qin Chi and Lu Defu, he choked up several times.

Lu Yanyan and Han Qingyun were also heartbroken.

"In the first two years after returning to Fengxi Town, people would occasionally come to inquire about us, but then the visits gradually stopped. Finally, our Lu family finally settled down.

When Fugui was fourteen years old, he started to go out and started as a small trader, and slowly took over the Lu family's business.

Bound by my promise to your grandfather, I hadn't left Wuping County for years. It was a pity that Fugui had to travel alone. I felt sorry for him.

Initially, your mother and I disagreed with Fugui's departure. But he insisted that he must regain the Lu family, which had been ruined because of him. Qin Gang also supported him, and thus, the Lu family's life gradually improved.

Even those people never appeared again, as if nothing had happened.

The Lu and Qin families had been closely connected since before Dayu was founded. Now that Qin Gang had only one child, Yuru, the two families had truly become one.

When Chang'an was born, I told Fugui and Qin Gang to give him the surname Qin.

But Qin Gang said that the continuation of bloodline is far more important than the inheritance of surname. No matter what surname Yu Ru's descendants have, they are all descendants of their Qin family.

Qingyun, Yanyan, and the children of the Lu family are also children of the Qin family. You should treat Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin the same way you treat me and your mother. "

"Yes, Dad." Han Qingyun and the others replied solemnly.

The three of them ended today's conversation in tears.

The next day after breakfast, Han Qingyun and Lu Yanyan were about to return to Baiyun Village when Lu Yi, the new housekeeper of the Lu family, came running to say that someone was visiting Han Qingyun and the master was greeting them, so he asked Han Qingyun to go over as soon as possible.

Han Qingyun was confused. He didn't know anyone else in Luocheng except the Yan family.

But if someone from the Yan family came, Lu Youtian would not receive them so solemnly, but would lead them directly to his side.

Lu Yi was a Luocheng pass bought specially by Lu Youtian, and he was familiar with all the mansions in Luocheng.

Seeing Han Qingyun's suspicious expression, he quickly said, "It was General Guan from Xuanwei. He said he came to thank my son-in-law. I don't know what the matter is."

Han Qingyun was even more puzzled. He walked quickly towards the reception room and saw a tall man in his forties sitting and talking with Lu Youtian.

Seeing Han Qingyun coming over, Lu Youtian stood up and said to the man: "This is my son-in-law Han Qingyun."

Then he said to Han Qingyun: "This is General Guan."

Han Qingyun bowed to the man, who laughed heartily: "He is indeed a good-looking man."

Then he bowed to Han Qingyun and said, "My father, Guan Xueqian, is in the Imperial Examination Hall. I am grateful to you, little brother, for taking care of him."

Han Qingyun immediately thought of the old scholar on his right in the examination room.

"General, you are too kind. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning."

General Guan Shannian of Xuanwei waved his hand and said, "For you, little brother, this is just a piece of cake, but for my Guan family, it is a great favor."

Then, Guan Shannian told Han Qingyun and Lu Youtian about his father Guan Xueqin.

The Guan family is a family of military generals. Guan Shannian’s grandfather Guan Xiong is already seventy-nine years old. He retired from the position of Zuo Sima only three years ago when the late emperor passed away.

Guan Xiong had three sons, and the eldest and second sons both inherited the Guan family's military tradition.

Only the youngest son, Guan Xueqin, started to cry out for leg pain after doing horse stance and almost cut his face with a sword.

Guan Xiong just thought his youngest son was lazy.

But Guan Xueqin said that he did not want to learn martial arts but wanted to study literature, which made Guan Xiongqi laugh.

When has there ever been anyone in his Guan family who can read?

Learning to read is for the purpose of learning military tactics and writing battle reports, not for reciting poems or composing couplets.

Who has ever seen cabbage growing in a radish field?

But Guan Xiong also had his own selfish motives. Since the founding of the country, countless members of the Guan family had died fighting for the Dayu Kingdom.

His own father and brother also died on the battlefield.

Guan Xiong thought, since his eldest son and second son could become military generals, his youngest son could just be a playboy.

When Guan Xueqin was fourteen years old, Guan Xiong's most promising eldest son, Guan Xuecheng, died in battle. He was only nineteen years old and had not yet started a family.

Guan Xiong thought of his father and brother who also died on the battlefield, and also remembered that his second son Guan Xueyi was still on the southwest battlefield, so he quickly arranged a marriage for Guan Xueqin.

The girl was the daughter of an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and they got married in the same year they got engaged.

The following year, she gave birth to Guan Shannian, the eldest grandson of that generation of the Guan family.

After Guan Xueqin completed the task of continuing the Guan family's lineage, he devoted himself to reading the books of sages.

Guan Xiong didn't care about him. His Guan family had done enough to be loyal to the country.

Guan Xiong originally thought that Guan Shannian was a person who hated martial arts and loved literature just like Guan Xueqin.

But a radish field is still a radish field. Even if a different radish appears occasionally, it is rare.

When Guan Xuenian was four or five years old, he showed an aptitude for martial arts.

Not only Guan Shannian, but also Guan Shannian's two cousins, as well as Guan Shannian's sons and nephews, later joined the military.

Guan Xueqin passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-one and became the only cabbage in the Guan family's radish field.

All things are inferior, only reading is superior.

Even families of military generals would admire the nobility of scholars.

Guan Xiong was very happy. Guan Xueqin passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of 21. In ten or eight years, he might be able to pass the imperial examination and become a juren.

At that time, whether by donating money to get an official position or exchanging it for his family's military merits, he would have to push his youngest son towards the path of a civil servant.

Guan Xueqin was very knowledgeable. Guan Xiong's colleagues in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College all said that with Guan Xueqin's knowledge, passing the imperial examination would be a piece of cake.

But everyone forgot that Guan Xueqin was in poor health.

The provincial examination lasted for nine days and seven nights, and it coincided with the change of seasons. It was late autumn and the dew was heavy, making it easy to get sick.

The provincial examination is not only an examination of knowledge, but also a test of physical fitness.

Guan Xueqin later participated in eleven provincial examinations. Except for the year when Guan Xueqin's mother passed away, Guan Xueqin participated in every provincial examination.

Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles.

Every time, Guan Xueqin ended up being carried out by the examination room inspectors.

The longest he lasted was seven days, and the shortest was only three days. Every time he was carried out, he would fall seriously ill.

After Guan Xueqin turned forty, Guan Xiong and Guan Shannian did not allow him to take part in the provincial examinations again.

Although Guan Xueqin's physical fitness is not as good as that of the Guan family members, his willpower is no worse than anyone else in the Guan family.

Passing the imperial examination is Guan Xueqin’s obsession and also his inner demon.

No matter how hard his father and son tried to persuade him, Guan Xueqin would always show up on time for the provincial examination.

Guan Xueqin is 54 years old this year and his health is worse than in previous years.

As soon as the news of this year's special award came out, Guan Shannian, who was suppressing bandits in Huzhou Prefecture, could no longer sit still.

After the bandit suppression was over, he immediately rushed back to Los Angeles.

On the way back, he was still worried about how long his father could hold on this time and how long he would be sick after the exam.

When Guan Shannian arrived in Luocheng, there were still three days left before the end of the provincial examination.

The servants of the Guan family took turns guarding the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall, not daring to blink.

But after waiting for six days, Guan Xueqin was still not carried out.

Guan Shannian also went to the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall and waited there. Finally, on the afternoon of the ninth day, he received Guan Xueqin who was carried out.

Although Guan Xueqin was also carried out this time, he was extremely excited. When he was carried onto the carriage, he was still saying that he had finished writing and that he would definitely pass the exam this time, and then he fell asleep.

Guan Xueqin slept for two days. When he woke up, he asked his son to find the kind candidate who had helped him.

But Guan Xueqin didn't know his name at all, he just said he was in his twenties.

How can Guan Shannian find it?

Guan Shannian first asked the invigilator and the supervisor based on his test number.

But the test papers have been sealed, and no one knows the name of the candidate with the corresponding test number or where he or she lives.

When Guan Xueqin heard that the item was not found, he angrily called Guan Shannian an idiot.

Guan Shannian also felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to talk back.

Finally, he heard a key piece of information from Guan Xueqin's mouth - the best-looking candidate in the entire examination room.
