The original owner was an out-and-out gambler.
He was fourteen years old this year, but he had already been in the casino for two years.
Ever since he first entered the casino, he couldn't stop. Nothing else could stay in his mind except winning money.
....
The original owner's name was Ye Qingyun, a name given to him by his biological father. It meant studying hard and having a bright future, and it was a very simple and crude name.
This has to do with his biological father's obsession.
His biological father, Ye Ping, was a scholar whose family had fallen on hard times. That year, he wanted to use the last of his family's money to take the imperial examination.
But there are always more accidents than luck.
He worked very hard for three years just for those few days of exams, but for some reason, he always had diarrhea during that period, including during the exam days.
He was in poor health and his writing was not good, so he had a vague feeling that he would fail the exam.
On the day the results were announced, he held on to the last glimmer of hope, and struggled to squeeze through the crowd to look at the list.
He started at the bottom.
From the last to the first.
No, his name is not on it.
From then on, Ye Ping became insane, with his condition sometimes better and sometimes worse. When his condition was bad, he would mutter all day long that he had passed the imperial examination, that he was a Jinshi, and that he would be the county magistrate in Anping County, Yuzhou.
He rarely has good moments. Normally, when he is clear-headed, he will help out at home and do some housework. He absolutely cannot go out to work because he cannot guarantee that he will not go crazy and destroy the boss's things while working.
That's really not worth it.
Because he was insane, his family didn't dare let him go, for fear that he would die in an accident.
But for the sake of livelihood, his family couldn't keep an eye on him all the time, and when he went crazy, he would smash things in the house.
In desperation, his family could only lock him up in the woodshed, and would occasionally let him out when they came home from work.
My biological father Ye Ping is still staying in the woodshed.
If that dilapidated thatched hut could be called a woodshed.
In addition to the crazy Ye Ping, the family also has his grandfather who is seriously ill in bed.
In addition to being a grandfather, he was also the teacher responsible for teaching the original owner.
The owner of the old voice coughing outside the house at the beginning was the original owner's grandmother.
And also Ye Ping’s wife, Huang Ying.
The original owner was Huang Ying's second son. He had an older brother who was 23 years old and still unmarried, and two younger sisters, aged 11 and 9 respectively...
The original owner had shown a talent for studying when he was a child. In order to turn things around and return to their former glory, the family worked together to support the original owner's studies.
We gave him everything we could to support him, such as going to school, buying pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
For this reason, my seriously ill grandfather would help write couplets for every household during the Spring Festival to earn some money.
Huang Ying was a woman, and even though she could read and write, she could not find work for scholars. So she washed clothes for others in the morning to earn money, and was busy embroidering and selling in the afternoon.
Although my grandmother’s eyesight is poor, she still helps with embroidery to earn money as much as she can, but she usually can’t do it for long before she has to rest.
Both meals a day at home are cooked by grandma.
The eldest brother worked at the docks or in the store every day to earn some hard-earned money to support the family. He himself was unwilling to spend a penny and ate the worst steamed buns made from low-quality bran flour.
While the family was working hard for the original owner to study, what was the original owner doing?
He took the money given by his family and pretended to buy pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, among other things needed for study.
In fact, it is to go to the casino to gamble.
In the original plot, the original owner later owed the casino a large sum of money from gambling and could not pay it back.
The matter was finally settled when the casino's thugs chased him home, chopped off his hands, and stole the little money and property that the family had, as well as the beautiful wife that the family had picked up for the original owner.
Only then did the family members know the bad things the original owner had done outside.
That day, Ye Ping, his biological father who had been insane, suddenly came to his senses.
The first thing he did after he woke up was to beat the original owner to death and then commit suicide.
Everything about the original owner disappeared with his death.
But the family that was dragged down by the original owner still has to live in pain.
The daughter-in-law who was kidnapped was tortured to death by the gambling house owner.
Because of the original owner, life for this family was a tragedy.
The timeline is not too late now. The plot about not being able to pay back the money probably happened when the original owner was sixteen years old, and now he is only fourteen years old.
.....
After watching the plot, Chu Qi wiped her face. What does it mean to start from hell?
That's it.
Obviously, the original owner had to take the imperial examination to turn his life around.
In this world, officials are more important than people's livelihood. Being a farmer all your life will lead to no future. You never know when you will be beaten to death just for offending some powerful person.
Go report to the police, and the county magistrate will look at your broken body and sentence you to death by accident...
In order to live a good life and for the mission, Chu Qi had no choice but to take the path of imperial examination.
The problem is that Chu Qi received compulsory education and university education for half his life, and none of them was related to this era.
The original owner's memory and knowledge were too shallow, and Chu Qi could only barely recognize words and write, and not make a fool of herself, but she couldn't do anything else.
After much thought, Chu Qi decided to contact the system.
[System, do you have any cheat codes for the imperial examination? I mean the cheat codes that can help me pass the imperial examinations and become a juren.]
A tall tree attracts the wind, and it is not good for a farmer's daughter to climb too high, so she is not greedy and just wants to live a comfortable life.
