1 "The person who controls you all the time is also the person who prevents you from falling, and the person who wants you to fly higher and higher. This thread is the starting point and the destination, guiding the direction of home!" Wang Maoping said with emotion. 3 He picked it up and looked at it, then looked up at the person in front of him and asked, "Are you Tang Wenfeng?" Tang Wenfeng nodded, wondering, is he so famous? Do all the teachers in the county school know about him? Goatee shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you would come to the county school." He thought that a young man who had been admitted to the Tongsheng Academy at this age would go to Mohua Academy. Mohua Academy is the most famous private school in Yiyang County, co-funded by several big families in the county. The dean is an old gentleman specially invited from Fucheng, who once taught at the Imperial College. Since the founding of Mohua Academy, the two academies have been at odds with each other. Although the relationship has eased up to now, and they don't exchange words when they meet by chance on the street, they are still in a state of ignoring each other. Goatee was curious: "Can you tell me why you came to the county school?" Tang Wenfeng considered: "Do you want to hear the truth or..." Goatee raised his eyebrows: "Of course it is the truth." Tang Wenfeng said: "It's cheap."

The first book is a new book. The protagonist travels to the Northern Song Dynasty and starts from a peasant family. It is not that his poems are world-famous at the beginning, nor is he stupid and happy all the way. In the early stage, he mainly studies, takes imperial examinations, and solves survival problems. The pace is not very fast, but the writing is delicate and the plot is natural. If you like the growth line of the imperial examination and the fireworks of life, you can read it.
