Chapter 51 It’s Hard to Be an Uncle (8) (4/5)



Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his clenched fingers loosened at the same time.

He was buried in the cemetery, with a small tombstone next to Lin's father and mother, and Wei's father and mother.

Lin Su is still in good health and can still walk briskly even at his old age. He has a dog and visits Wei Yuan every week. His life is regular, relaxed and casual.

He enjoys life with two people, but is also used to life alone.

06 Sometimes I wonder: [Host, my uncle is no longer here, why do you still want to visit him? ]

"Because you have to finish what you start." Lin Su said with a smile.

A lifetime is a lifetime, his lifetime.

After Lin Su's death, he returned to the system space. His youthful state made him move his wrists and stretch his waist wantonly, waiting for the system's evaluation results.

System Assessment: Mission Completion is S-Rank. Mission One receives 5,000,000 Star Coins, Mission Two receives 5,000,000 Star Coins, and an additional 5,000,000 Star Coins, for a total of 15,000,000 Star Coins. This has been deposited into the account. Reason for the additional reward: The relationship between the protagonist and the receiver is going smoothly, even more successful than before. No points will be deducted. I hope the host will continue to work hard.

06After reviewing, he asked: [Does the host want to take a break this time? ]

What makes people sad is not the companionship, but the separation after experiencing all the happiness. This is the process that all hosts with emotional lines in the mission world are most likely to experience.

[No thanks.] Lin Su declined, [Let's start the next world.]

The system assessed the host's condition to be very stable, with no adverse reactions. However, 06 still carefully examined it: [Host, rest assured, you will definitely stay in bed this time.]

As a system responsible for the host, it must meet the host's requirements, such as lying in bed and not being a small child.

[06 System prompt: World loading, memory transfer in progress...]

When Lin Su opened his eyes, he looked up and smiled: [06, I saw stars.]

There is a bed in this world, but unfortunately there is no roof, so it is drafty everywhere, and the quilt covering the body cannot keep out the cold at all.

Memories emerged from his mind. This was an era when sleeves were as numerous as clouds. There was an emperor above and officials below. He was not a poor person originally, but was born into an official family. His father was Lin Zuo, the sixth-rank Tongpan of Qinghe Prefecture, and he was also from a scholarly family.

The original body was the eldest son, and his status was not comparable to that of ordinary families. Unfortunately, he lost his mother when he was young. Although his stepmother did not treat him harshly, it was impossible for her to treat him as her own son. After he had his own child, the original body was completely ignored by his parents.

The original body did not fall into depravity. Instead, he studied hard, not to the point of hanging his head on the beam and piercing his legs with a needle, but almost. He learned a lot and successfully passed the provincial examination at such a young age to become a Juren. The only thing missing was to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi to bring honor to his family. However, he did not expect that he could not survive these three days of burning the midnight oil. He suffered a cardiac arrest and lost his breath in his sleep, and was chosen by the system to be stationed there.

The relationship between the protagonists in the original world line and the original body is not big or small. If it is big, they are both participating in the imperial examination in the same examination hall. If it is small, as long as Lin Su does not disturb them in the future, he will not be in trouble.

[06 System issues tasks: Task 1: Survive as the original body; Task 2: Change the fate of the male supporting character Qingxi.]

The original person had a bad relationship with his family. In such a family, the only way out was to take the imperial examination. Once he switched to another profession, or did not pass the imperial examination for a long time, he might be gossiped about and looked down upon.

Instead of enduring in silence in such a family, it is better to seize this opportunity to completely escape from that family.

What happened between the protagonist Gongshou and Qingxi happened in Qinghe Prefecture. If one wants to change Qingxi's fate, it will be much easier if he has an official by his side.

[06, you didn't deliberately pick a world with an easy difficulty, did you?] Lin Su asked as he sat up after taking the heart-saving pills produced by the system.

[No, this is all random. The host is just lucky.] 06 replied neatly.

Lin Su stood up, lit the oil lamp, and read the half-written article on the table. After finishing reading, he tore the paper into pieces and let it be devoured by the flames bit by bit.

In Lin Su's opinion, the original body's literary talent was actually quite good, otherwise he would not have been able to pass the Tongsheng examination and the provincial examination. However, such literary talent was still some distance away from the top three in the Jinshi examination, let alone the first place in the first class.

Since he planned to be an official, Lin Su had to do his best. Under the dim candlelight, he pondered for a moment, then filled the tip of his pen with ink and wrote on the paper.

This era was relatively prosperous. The new emperor had only been on the throne for a short time and was young and ambitious, but the government was stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

In a prosperous era, the emperor is young and naturally wants to expand his territory and become an emperor whose reputation will last forever. If he wants to conquer, he must have strong soldiers and horses and abundant granaries.

Title: Food is the people’s primary need.

Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, although scholars have a respected status, farmers are the most important to the people of the world. Putting the people of the world first is the way of a loyal minister. The most taboo for a new emperor upon ascending the throne is forming factions. These two points almost hit the new emperor's sore spot.

Lin Su started writing from the very beginning, his pen flowing freely without any obscurity. Throughout the whole article, only the words were exactly the same as the original. Even if the original letter paper was taken out, there would be no difference.

It took only a cup of tea to finish the article. Lin Su dried the paper and folded it, then lay down on the makeshift wooden bed, pulled up the quilt and went to sleep.

There are three examinations, each lasting three days, for a total of nine days. Although there is ample time, it is very tiring. It is more than four times longer than the most stressful college entrance examination time for students in the previous world. Many scholars die in the examinations. The cause of death can be referred to Lin Su's original body.

In order to cope with the upcoming exams, even Lin Su wanted to get some rest.

The candidates were discharged every three days. After nine days, all of them looked pale when they left. There were clouds of carriages in front of the examination hall, and the people waiting were looking around. They were obviously high-ranking officials living in the capital.

There were many servants standing in front of the carriages, and the carriages often had the emblems of various prefectures hung on them.

The voices of farewell and greeting came one after another. Lin Su did not stand out among the crowd. Even though he was in good spirits, he looked a little listless.

"Brother Bowen, I'll take my leave first." Someone said loudly.

Lin Su looked over and saw a man in blue clothes returning the greeting and saying goodbye: "Brother Zijin, take care."

The boy was handsome, and his height and figure were truly outstanding among all the candidates. Even though his clothes were not particularly luxurious, he had the elegance of a scholar.

The protagonist is Yang Cheng, whose courtesy name is Bowen. His father is the fifth-rank Tongzhi of Qinghe Prefecture, serving in the same prefecture as Lin Su's father, but his rank is one level higher. A higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. Yang Cheng comes from such a scholarly family, which is something that ordinary people can only dream of.
