Chapter 192 Live broadcast begins, storm arises

Su Yao was determined in her heart and acted quickly.

She quickly asked for a large amount of materials under the pretext of making incense.

……

Lin Yuxi's Home

"Xixi, you offended someone so badly in one go, be careful that Su Yao will do something desperate!"

"NO, NO, NO! What I did is called... disturbing the grass... startling the snake!" Lin Yuxi replied in a mysterious tone!

Given Su Yao's current situation, it is obviously inappropriate for them to take the initiative to attack, but if it is self-defense or something, then there is absolutely no problem!

……

In addition to meeting with several professors and participating in seminars regularly, Lin Yuxi also did not neglect her live broadcast career.

On this day, Lin Yuxi sat in front of the live camera in high spirits and started with a smile: "Dear friends, today we are going to discuss a super interesting topic - why did Fan Jin become so happy after passing the imperial examination?"

As soon as Lin Yuxi's clear and pleasant voice fell, the live broadcast room instantly became lively.

“Wait for the host to explain!”

"A plate full of fruits, a bag full of melon seeds, stories are my love!"

"Let's get started, I'm lying flat now!"

Lin Yuxi looked at the rapidly scrolling messages on the screen, her smile widened, she cleared her throat and started talking:

"In ancient times, the imperial examination was the only hope for poor students to change their fate. It was like a person groping in the dark suddenly seeing a ray of light.

Think about it, what a great hope that would be! Once you pass the imperial examination, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step, and you would go directly from a poor boy to a wealthy man. "

"A golden phoenix flew out of a mountain nest! What a gorgeous transformation!" The audience participated actively and interacted very positively.

“It’s like winning the jackpot!”

Lin Yuxi nodded and continued, "After passing the imperial examination, not only will you have great fame, but you will also enjoy many privileges and benefits. First of all, fame means you will be respected wherever you go, and people will look at you differently. Second, privileges include tax exemption and exemption from corvée service, which are all real benefits!"

“It’s the ancient version of the five social insurances and one housing fund!”

"The ancient times were the era of the powerful and aristocratic class, otherwise why would there be so many rebellions?"

"Where there is oil and water, there is competition!"

There was a lot of amazement in the comment section.

Lin Yuxi went on to say: "Let's talk about Fan Jin. He studied hard for many years, his hair turned white, and he lived a very poor life.

He took countless exams, was laughed at, blamed by his family, and his father-in-law criticized him so many times, both overtly and covertly, that Fan Jin trembled whenever he saw his father-in-law!

You can imagine how much grievance and pressure he has accumulated in his heart."

At this time, some viewers sighed: "It's not easy for Fan Jin. He has persisted for so many years under such great pressure."

Another viewer echoed: "That's right. If it were me, and people said every day that I was a loser and a gigolo, I would have been depressed a long time ago. How could I have turned my life around and taken the imperial examination?"

"Actually, if you think about it from another angle, Fan Jin is actually quite inspirational, but he has been laughed at for so many years!"

Lin Yuxi saw the message in the comment area and nodded slightly to show her agreement. "So when he learned that he had passed the imperial examination, all the grievances and pressure were released at that moment. It was like a pressure cooker that suddenly found an outlet and exploded with a bang. With this said, don't you all understand why Fan Jin suddenly went crazy?"

The comments section quickly filled up:

"Life is full of ups and downs, so it's a bit hard to accept such a big surprise all of a sudden!"

"They were crying with joy, and Fan Jin was just an advanced version of going crazy with joy. It's actually understandable!"

The audience left messages and expressed their own feelings.

Lin Yuxi coughed lightly and began to expand the topic.

"There is a saying in ancient times that goes, all things are inferior except reading!

This sentence well explains the status of scholars, or those who passed the imperial examinations and became officials, in people's minds at that time.

This is just like the civil service exams we take today. Even if you feel you are not cut out for it, the benefits are good, so you have to give it a try! What if you pass it?

There are many people who take the imperial examination with this mentality! "

As soon as these words of persuasion were spoken, the defenses of people in the live broadcast room were broken one after another.

"Anchor, you see the truth but don't say it! I'm already sad because I lost the election, why are you so cruel?"

"Ahhh, I was stabbed!"

"My glass heart is broken into pieces!"

Lin Yuxi looked at the widespread grief in the live broadcast room, smiled, and continued, "Just now we talked about the background of the ancient imperial examination. Next, let's talk about the difficulty of the ancient imperial examination. Why is it that the top scholar who won the first place in the sixth place or even the third place in the imperial examination is regarded as the achievement of the contemporary emperor?"

"We often say that getting admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University is the same as getting the top scholar in ancient times. So what is the difference?"

"Let's reveal the answers one by one!"

“In ancient times, the imperial examination was the only hope for poor students to change their fate and the only bridge to wealth and glory.

Take the examination for the scholar, for example. One has to go through the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the imperial examination. It takes several years of hard work to pass these rounds of examinations. And this is just the beginning. If one wants to pass the examination, the difficulty increases exponentially.

At this time, a viewer in the live broadcast room left a message: "How difficult is that?"

Lin Yuxi smiled slightly and explained, "The provincial examination for the candidates for the Juren degree is held only once every three years. Many students have studied hard day and night for this opportunity, and their hair has turned white.

Moreover, the examination environment in ancient times cannot be compared with that of modern times. I believe that friends who like to read imperial examination articles will always see a word called "stinky number"!

When examiners are marking papers, there is a term called "dirty paper"!

So, after each exam, the situation was so terrible that many people collapsed and were dragged out every time they wrote! "

Lin Yuxi said this, took a sip of tea, and continued, "So you know why the civil servants in ancient times were so cunning, right? They were all the result of many tests and battles!"

There was a sigh in the live broadcast room, and the comments said:

"It's not easy!"

"I feel like I wouldn't be able to survive in ancient times!"

"No, I feel like I can't survive! I don't have the energy to farm, and I don't have the brains to take the imperial examination! Suddenly I don't want to travel through time that much anymore!"

"I feel like even university professors wouldn't necessarily be able to pass the imperial examination in ancient times!"

"Brother, you passed! What makes them professors is their brains, but we don't have that thing!"

Lin Yuxi continued, "Of course, after all the hard work, once you pass the exam, you will have a lot of privileges and benefits. For example, you can be exempted from taxes and corvée labor, and you don't have to kneel when you see the county magistrate. Even if you don't want to continue to take the exam, your life will be very comfortable!"

The live broadcast room suddenly became lively, and viewers left messages to express their opinions.

"A poor scholar is a rich scholar! A scholar can even be called a scholar master!"

"In ancient times, there was only one path. You didn't have to think about anything. You just had to rush forward. It was not like me, which gave me a headache to choose a major!"

"The ancient times were still better. If you passed the imperial examination, you could turn your life around."

Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "Actually, every era has its own difficulties and opportunities. Although the ancient imperial examination system could help people rise to the top overnight, the hardships and risks involved were also enormous. Now, although the competition is fierce, there are relatively more opportunities. As long as we work hard, there will always be a way out."

At this time, the director next to him indicated that the actors were in place and could perform the scene. Lin Yuxi nodded and said, "Then, let's use a short play to more intuitively feel the difficulty of the ancient imperial examination."

“Wow, the live version is finally here!”

"expect!"

"Finally you've arrived, and I'm still here!"

The lights dimmed and several professional actors appeared on stage. The actor who played the ancient student was wearing a tattered gown and had a haggard face. He was holding a book and studying hard under the dim oil lamp.

Lin Yuxi explained: "This was the daily life of those scholars in ancient times. Books were ridiculously expensive in their time.

So most of the time they have to borrow or buy a book together with several people. So when they read, they forget to eat and sleep, just to learn more in the limited time!

If you think about the stories of drilling a hole through the wall to borrow light and getting up to dance upon hearing the cock-crow, it won’t be hard to understand the hardships involved! ”

The scene changed and an exam scene appeared, with many students answering questions in the exam room with nervous expressions.

"This is the environment in which these candidates took their exams in ancient times. The rooms are small and simple, about one to two square meters in size, and the candidates have to stay in such an environment for nine consecutive days. During this period, the candidates eat, wash, and rest in this small room!

During this period, candidates must not only protect themselves and try not to get sick, but also protect their test papers. Once they are stained with water or ink, all their efforts will be wasted!" Lin Yuxi's voice was full of emotion.

Finally, when the family member Xiao Si checked the list, the actors showed their ecstatic attitude to the fullest.

"Do you know why in movies and TV shows, it always appears that Xiao Si or his family members go to see the list?" Lin Yuxi brought up the topic at the right time.

"Because the candidates taking the exam would lose their composure when they see the results so clearly displayed! And they think they are scholars and they want to save face!"

"So do you know why Fan Jin lost?"

"It's not that he lost his temper and went crazy, but he doesn't have Xiao Si, and he doesn't have family members he can trust to help him check the rankings, family members!"

"Fan Jin's obscene development resulted in success. He passed the imperial examination and his neighbors looked up to him. But why did the final result make us sigh and Fan Jin was laughed at for more than 300 years?"

"Isn't it because Fan Jin had no one to help him buffer, so he had to face such a grand occasion directly? Think about it carefully, isn't this the case, family members?"

Lin Yuxi: "So, family members, we must also learn to properly handle our interpersonal relationships in life. We don't need many good relatives and friends, just one is enough!

No matter it is good or bad, there must be someone to talk to us!

Otherwise, if we don’t keep our mouths shut for a long time, people will think we are mute. What should we do?

When facing such great success or failure, there must be someone to act as a buffer for us, so that we don't get carried away all of a sudden. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

The comments were full of comments: "That makes sense!" "Xixi is absolutely right!"

Lin Yuxi: "Okay, let's continue talking..."

At this moment, a striking comment suddenly floated across the live broadcast room: "Host, I don't quite agree with your point of view. Fan Jin's tragedy cannot be simply attributed to no one helping him buffer."

Lin Yuxi smiled slightly and said, "My friend, why don't you tell me what you think?"

Audience: "I think Fan Jin's problem lies in his own mentality and his long-term obsession with the imperial examination. Even if someone buffered him, his character was destined to such an ending."

Lin Yuxi: "Well, your point of view is very unique, which also gives us a new perspective. In fact, the interpretation of literary works is diverse, and everyone can express their own opinions."

……

Just when the discussion was getting heated, assistant Xiao Min ran in in a panic, stood outside the venue, and opened and closed her mouth, obviously wanting to say something.

Lin Yuxi glanced at the assistant and said to the camera calmly, "Family, let's take a break and be back soon."

The scene then cuts away temporarily, and Lin Yuxi asks the assistant in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Xiao Min lowered her voice and said nervously, "Sister Lin, it's bad! Something happened to the live broadcast room we originally prepared. The staff who were resting inside were drugged and are now doing a striptease!"

Lin Yuxi narrowed her eyes slightly, but there was not much surprise on her face. She just snorted in her heart: Humph, your methods are still so shameless!

She remained calm, patted Xiao Min's shoulder gently, and said, "Xiao Min, don't panic. I know what's going on."

Xiao Min's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and she asked anxiously: "Sister Lin, did you know this would happen a long time ago? That's why you asked us to change the live broadcast location temporarily? What should we do now? If this gets out, the impact on us will be too great!"

If a live broadcast goes wrong like this, we won’t be able to stop it!”

Lin Yuxi patted Xiao Min on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, Xiao Min. Since it has already happened, we have to find a way to deal with it. First seal off the room and don't let anyone else get close. Also, notify the security guard and find out where the medicine came from."

Xiao Min nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, Sister Lin, I'll do it right away." Then she turned around and was about to leave.

Lin Yuxi stopped her again: "Wait, don't make this public for now, and we can discuss it after the live broadcast is over. We can't let the audience in the live broadcast room notice anything unusual."

Xiao Min clenched her fists tightly: "I understand, Sister Lin, don't worry." Then she hurried off to deal with things.

Lin Yuxi stood where she was, with a firm and resolute look in her eyes, thinking secretly in her heart: Su Yao, you'd better pray that you don't leave any traces, otherwise I will make you pay for it!
