There was a poor scholar in Huaixin Town, and all his family died unfortunately, leaving only one scholar. The scholar is well-read and knowledgeable on weekdays, and he is bent on becoming famous and serving the country. However, the scholar failed in the senior high school entrance examination for five years in a row in Sun Shan, and he had no chance to become the top scholar. Now, the scholar is nervously browsing poetry books and preparing for the sixth exam three months later.

Mr. Song, the rich man in the town, just gave the scholar advice. This is not the only way to gain fame in this world. It is better to give up the exam, come to my home as a teacher, and give you fifty taels of silver as a reward every month. Wouldn't it be much easier than becoming famous?

The scholar declined politely, saying that Mr. Song thanked you for your kindness. It's just that my father warned me before he died that I must become famous and serve my country. My father didn't dare to disobey his wishes, but just wanted to live up to Mr. Song's kindness.

When Mr. Song saw it, he shook his sleeve and said coldly, it's really ungrateful to give you the opportunity to fight for it. Then Mr. Song left in a carriage.

The scholar shook his head and continued to review with a poem book. After three months, it will be his own chance, and he will go all out.

Three months later, the capital was crowded and scholars from all walks of life gathered here. I took the exam for the first time, the second time and the third time. Scholars are rare, others are a little nervous, but scholars are determined, comfortable and used to this kind of exam scene.

In the examination room, the scholar was free and confident. He felt that this time was more perfect than before, so he was full of confidence, as if he knew he was going to high school.

In fact, it was the list of high schools posted by the yamen after the scholar returned home from the exam 1 more than a month. When the scholar saw himself, he once again lost his reputation in Sun Shan, and all his efforts this year were in vain. He felt sorry for his dead father and mother. They studied hard, but he still couldn't go to high school. So he came to the river in a rage and wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide.

The scholar paced back and forth on the shore, feeling unwilling. Why can't I go to high school when I have made all my efforts? How can you live up to your deceased parents without high school? The more I think about it, the more angry I get, the more tired I think about it, so I decided to jump into the river and go with the flow.

Just as the scholar was about to jump into the river, a big red carp jumped out of the river and landed on the ground. The scholar stopped and went to the carp to have a look.

The scholar saw several wounds on the red carp and was about to pick it up and put it in the river. At this time, the red carp actually said, "Thank you, son, for saving my life."

The scholar was shocked. I didn't expect carp to talk. He asked: "carp, carp, you are not good in the water." Why did you run to this shore? This coast is full of danger. "

Carp said, "I was originally a small fish in the river, but I was salvaged." I didn't want to be killed, so I bit through the fishing net and escaped. Who knows the fishmonger won't let me go, so I have to go upstream all the way. Just now, I had to cross the big stone in the river to be saved, so I kept trying and finally succeeded in crossing it at the100th time, and then I reached this shore.

Hearing this, the scholar only felt that a fish could have perseverance when he woke up from a big dream, but he didn't. This is a big joke.

I'll take the fish home at once and raise them well. However, I also gave up the idea of suicide, tried to be strong and prepared for next year's exam.

The scholar has a little more fun while commenting on poetry books and taking care of red carp.

Another year passed, and the scholar took the exam again this time, and finally won the top prize in No.7 Middle School and became the man of the hour in Huaixin Town.

The scholar wanted to give good news to the carp, but found that the red carp was gone, leaving only a writing brush in the fish tank.

Scholars thank God and Red Carp for their advice. In the future, I will do my best to serve the country and be a good official loved by the people. (End of story)
