I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Chapter 2 A Different World

As soon as this thought emerged, Gu Yunzhou felt his whole body relax, and the discomfort and body rejection that had been lingering in his mind completely disappeared. He was shocked to realize that the original owner had finally left. He must have sensed his thoughts and let go of his last obsession. It can also be said that from this moment on, Gu Yunzhou truly took over this body and no longer had any worries.

"Okay, come here, let mom feed you something!" Qin wiped her eyes, took a pillow and placed it on the head of the bed, then carefully helped him sit up, and finally brought the bowl of still warm porridge on the table.

"Brother Yun, the doctor said that you can only eat light food these days. When you feel better, your mother will kill a chicken for you!" The woman looked at her son lovingly, gently fed the thick rice porridge into her son's mouth, and wiped the corners of Gu Yunzhou's mouth with a handkerchief from time to time.

Gu Yunzhou looked embarrassed. He was so old, but he still needed someone to feed him. But now he felt weak all over and couldn't even lift his hands. He could only let his mother feed him mouthful by mouthful.

"No need, mother. My son is in good health. He just needs to rest for a few days. There's no need to kill the chicken!"

Gu Yunzhou hurriedly tried to stop him. Their family was not rich. His father died of illness when Gu Yunzhou was five years old, leaving him and his widowed mother to depend on each other.

The Gu family is considered a large family in Liuyun Town, but Gu Yunzhou's branch is relatively far away, almost five generations away, but they can still barely survive by relying on the surname Gu.

Qin worked as a cook in the Gu family mansion. She had excellent cooking skills, otherwise she would not be able to support her son. When Gu Yunzhou was ten years old, he started his education in the Gu family's clan school.

The Gu clan school only accepts children of the Gu family. All children of the Gu family can study there for free. Fortunately, Gu Yunzhou and his family are barely within the five generations of the deceased, so they were able to step into the gate of the Gu clan school.

As for his injuries, they were also related to the Gu family's education. The original owner was very talented and showed his talent at a young age, but he did not know how to hide from the spotlight. While he was loved and praised by the teacher, he also attracted the hostility of other children in the Gu family.

Among them, Gu Tianhua is the most powerful. He is the grandson of Gu Jin, the current head of the Gu family. He is usually loved by his family and is the most domineering.

But he knew that he was inferior to Gu Yunzhou in every aspect after arriving at the clan school. How could the pampered and arrogant little bully be happy!

Over the years, the initial ridicule and pushing evolved into frequent physical fights.

It’s not that Gu Yunzhou hadn’t resisted before, but since the Gu family school was founded by Gu Jin, the teacher naturally didn’t dare to offend him.

Secondly, Gu Tianhua had once said that anyone who dared to help him would be kicked out of the Gu clan school immediately. No one wanted to offend this little bully of the Gu family. After all, Gu Yunzhou was just bullied.

Therefore, they turned a blind eye to it, and some even helped Gu Tianhua to bully the original owner in order to curry favor with him.

It’s not that the original owner had never thought about leaving, but it’s just that it’s so difficult for an ordinary teenager to study.

Not to mention the expensive tuition, he couldn't even afford the simplest books, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Until yesterday, the original owner once again won the first place in the clan school monthly exam. Coincidentally, Gu Tianhua ranked last, and his father found out and gave him a severe beating.

After being beaten, Gu Tianhua took out all his anger on the original owner, believing that it was Gu Tianhua's fault that he was beaten. So he called a few lackeys to block the original owner in an alley when he returned home at night, beat him up, and then left.

The original owner died shortly after the few people left, and was then taken over by Gu Yunzhou. He was then discovered and sent back home.

This is the memory that Gu Yunzhou integrated into the original owner's memory. Qin did not dare and had no ability to ask the Gu family, so she could only silently ask a doctor to come and treat her.

But Gu Yunzhou would not let this go just like that. This was a life. Even if he wanted to take revenge now, he still had to take care of his health and make long-term plans.

He couldn't die in obscurity like the original owner. He needed strength and status. The imperial examination to be held in three months would be his best chance.

As long as he passed the imperial examination and the literary energy entered his body, he would have some ability to protect himself.

There are several ways to obtain literary energy in the Tianxing Continent. The most commonly accepted and used way is to obtain it through imperial examinations. Another way is to have a great scholar elder in the family directly enlighten you and guide the literary energy into the body. Another way is to use high-grade seals or cultural relics to gain insights.

The latter two options were definitely impossible for Gu Yunzhou, who was penniless and had a clean pocket, so he could only have the opportunity to gain the literary energy by passing the imperial examination.

Qin fed her son a bowl of porridge, brought some boiled medicine, watched Gu Yunzhou drink it, tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and then left.

After Qin left, Gu Yunzhou began to recall what he would be tested on in the provincial examination in three months. This was different from the imperial examination system on Blue Star, which had been gradually developed and improved over thousands of years, and it was also unique in terms of literary style.

The imperial examination system of Tianxing Continent began to prevail here in Zhou Yangjun. The imperial examination system emphasizes the Four Books, poetry, lyrics, calligraphy and calligraphy. This is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a world of literary spirit, and literary spirit can be transformed into powerful force through poetry and articles.

The provincial examination is relatively simple, requiring only a certain foundation, and most people can pass it. Unlike the imperial examination on Blue Star, which has a very low acceptance rate, the kings of the Tianxing Continent are not very strict in the provincial examination in order to cultivate talents of the human race and resist the invasion of alien races, so that most people have the opportunity to have the literary energy enter their bodies.

But the real considerations are still to come. The imperial examinations in Tianxing Continent have become increasingly strict in terms of admission ratios, from the initial provincial examinations, county examinations, prefectural examinations, state examinations, county examinations, to the final palace examinations.

It can be said that out of 100,000 people who signed up for the provincial examination, less than three were able to pass and reach the final stage, the palace examination. This shows how low the ratio is.

Gu Yunzhou has not participated in the provincial examination yet, so naturally there is no literary energy in his body. Therefore, although he is eager to experience the magic of this literary energy, he can only think about it.

However, he was not at all worried about whether he could pass the provincial examination. Not to mention that he had all the memories of the original owner and knew that the provincial examination was very simple. Just considering his identity as a teacher in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at a prestigious university on Blue Star, he was confident that he could pass the examination.

Not to mention that perhaps because of the fusion of the two souls, his memory soared, and he had a feeling of having a photographic memory. As long as he recalled the books he had read in his previous life, they were basically all vivid in his mind.

He found that after he merged into this body, those long-gone memories from the past were vivid in his mind, as if they were replayed yesterday.

It is no exaggeration to say that the knowledge in his mind will definitely stir up a storm on the Tianxing Continent. After all, he has poems and articles written by countless brilliant people since the Song Dynasty.
