Chapter 251 A life full of ups and downs, trapped in a big dream



The Spring and Autumn Tribulations, the trials of eternity.

Countless years have passed.

Came to the last life.

This life.

Lu Hen Ge was a little confused. He couldn't tell whether he was still in a dream, because his identity in this life was very real.

The westernmost realm.

Qingluan City.

A tavern.

A five-year-old child is playing with a rattle in his hand. It looks very worn out, but the child is having a lot of fun.

He was playing by himself in the backyard of the pub, while inside the pub, the guests were making a lot of noise and it seemed a bit noisy.

After a long time.

The child was tired from playing and sat on the stone bench in a daze.

Right at this moment.

The middle-aged man who had been busy in the tavern stuck his head out and said, "Han Ge, don't sit on the stone bench. It's cold."

"Oh, I know, Dad."

Lu Hen Ge jumped down from the stone bench and patted his butt.

From sunrise to sunset.

The pub was always busy.

Lu Hen Ge, who was only five years old, looked up at the setting sun, unconsciously becoming a little dazed. He seemed to have forgotten something and couldn't remember it.

"Heng Ge, it's time to eat!"

A woman in coarse linen clothes walked into the yard with a smile on her face, and looked at the setting sun in the sky in the direction of Lu Hen Ge.

“So beautiful!”

The woman sighed.

Lu Hen Ge hummed, "Mom, I want to go to a private school."

Hearing this.

The woman was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she seemed to be sure that he was old enough to go to a private school: "Which private school does Hen Ge want to go to?"

"Master Wu's private school in the north of the city."

"Okay, I'll take you there when I have some free time."

Lu Hen Ge seemed a little excited.

During dinner.

The woman and the man talked about this matter. The man did not object, but was a little worried: "The north of the city is a bit far. Lu Henge is only five years old. The tavern business is busy every day. Who will pick him up?"

The man meant to change to a private school that was closer, so that he would have more time.

The woman agreed.

But Lu Henge was holding a rice bowl as big as his face, his young face full of anxiety: "Dad, Mom, I don't need anyone to pick me up, I just want to go to the north of the city."

The man was stunned for a moment: "Why would Hen Ge want to study there?"

"Because Master Wu is the only number one scholar in the city, I also want to be a number one scholar and an official when I grow up." Lu Hen Ge put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood on a stool, and looked up.

Seeing this.

The man and woman looked at each other and laughed.

A moment later.

"Okay, let's go to Master Wu's private school."

"Eat and sleep quickly. The tavern will be closed for half a day tomorrow. Let your mother take you to see it."

The man knocked on his bowl.

Lu Hen Ge began to eat with big mouthfuls.

.....

The next day.

Lu Hen Ge became a student at Master Wu's private school.

Lu Hen Ge is very smart.

He entered a private school at the age of five.

At the age of seven, he was familiar with the classics of hundreds of schools of thought.

He could write lyrics at the age of nine, and his literary talent was quite good.

Even Master Wu felt that Lu Hen Ge would definitely pass the imperial examination and become an official in the court. Given Lu Hen Ge's physique, it was unrealistic for him to be a military officer, but he had great potential as a civil servant, rising to the third rank.

Fifteen years old.

Lu Hen Ge was the top scorer in high school.

This year.

There are joys and sorrows.

The good news was that Lu Hen Ge became the top scholar and was also favored by the Minister of Rites, who asked His Majesty to grant him marriage and marry the Minister of Rites' daughter.

What worries me is...that my mother died of illness.

According to the rules of the court, even if he passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, he could not serve as an official in the court. He had to observe mourning for three years before he could serve in the court.

certainly.

The wedding with the daughter of the Minister of Rites also had to be postponed for three years.

The facts prove it.

The first half of a person's life cannot be too smooth.

The price of having a smooth first half of your life is a bumpy and wasted second half.

Three years passed in a flash.

Seeing that the mourning period is about to end, I can return to Beijing and attend the court.

But at this time, Lu Hen Ge's father passed away again...

Another three years...

Lu Hen Ge became the top scorer in high school at the age of fifteen, but after he finished his mourning period, he was already twenty-one years old.

Lu Hen Ge was ordered to return to the court, but found that his position was gone. The imperial examination was held every four years, and during the six years of mourning he had been in, a new top scorer was born.

The daughter of the Minister of Rites also fell in love with someone else and begged His Majesty to revoke the marriage and find someone else.

Six years.

Things have changed and people have changed.

Lu Hen Ge was a little confused.

Logically speaking.

At the age of twenty-one, he was at the right time to make great achievements, but he did not have the opportunity to display his abilities and could only become the most inconspicuous civil servant in the court.

The daily tasks are moving things and copying scriptures.

Midnight.

Lu Hen Ge couldn't sleep.

He looked at the moon in the sky, lost in thought. This was completely different from the life he had expected since childhood. He felt suffocated. If this kind of life really continued for the rest of his life, how painful it would be...

It is the fifth year since he entered the court as an official.

This year.

Lu Hen Ge is twenty-six years old.

He could no longer bear this kind of life and chose to resign. He thought the court would try to retain him, but he did not expect that the resignation he submitted in the morning would be approved in the afternoon.

Lu Hen Ge packed up his few belongings, smiled bitterly, and left the capital.

Return to homeland.

Lu Hen Ge opened a private school.

Lu Hen Ge met Master Wu again. At this time, Master Wu was already ninety years old. His eyes were cloudy and his speech was slurred, but he could still walk.

At this moment, Lu Hen Ge finally understood why Master Wu, who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, could only stay here as a private school teacher.
