Guo Xuezheng went to the city to find the county Xuezheng again, this is the only relationship he can rely on, it is said that Xuezheng is also a good wine, and the two can talk a lot about this.

So the village school was handed over to Guo Lin and Zhang Yue.

The village school in Wuxi is still a mess.

Some children want to play and don't pay attention to their homework, and some want to learn but are led astray.

Guo Lin has a soft temperament, and when he teaches the students below him the surnames of the hundred families, he is often interrupted by the village children.

Zhang Yue couldn't look at it when he saw it, so he said to Guo Lin: "Some of these village children want to learn, and some don't want to learn, if you let the influence of not wanting to learn want to learn, then no one can read." ”

"So what?"

Zhang Yue said: "There is no way, at this time, the only way is to adjust one or two, and arrange all the children who want to learn to sit in the front row, and all those who don't want to learn will sit in the back row." ”

Guo Lin listened and said: "This is not good, isn't this favoritism?" ”

Zhang Yue said: "Then what can be done?" Continue to let them make trouble, they don't even pay attention to Mr. on weekdays, let alone you. Useful for those who really don't want to learn? ”

Guo Lin nodded and said, "It's up to my junior brother." ”

In the past few days, the order of the village school has really improved.

Guo Lin secretly admired Zhang Yue in his heart. A few days later, I saw Zhang Yue borrow an old hunting bow from Orion and practice archery against a haystack in the backyard.

Guo Lin thought about Zhang Yue as a play, and he was already surprised.

It was still a little cold on this day, but Zhang Yue only wore a short shirt to practice archery in the backyard.

Guo Lin saw it and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, what are you doing?" It's still cold, be careful of freezing, how to take the exam if you get sick? ”

Zhang Yue said: "Archery is one of the six arts of a gentleman, and I ponder that the county school record test may not only test the record, in case you can use it when you take the archery test." ”

"Besides, who said that you can only learn to shoot if you take the martial arts exam, Chen Kangsugong, the champion of this dynasty, is good at shooting, and Ouyang Gong also wrote an article "Oil Seller" for him."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue made another action of riding a horse and shooting an arrow to pull the bowstring, and said triumphantly: "There is no him, but he is familiar with it." ”

The two brothers laughed together.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue said with a straight face: "Since the worship of literature and the suppression of martial arts in this dynasty, the martial arts of scholars have gradually receded. This is not like the Han and Tang Dynasties, and most of the famous ministers and good generals in the Han and Tang dynasties were both civil and military. Now that the spring flowers are blooming, it's just a time to practice. ”

After saying this, Zhang Yue continued to shoot arrows.

Guo Lin said in his heart, he almost forgot that his junior brother and ancestor were born in Jiedu, and practicing martial arts and archery is also a family tradition. He remembered Zhang Heng's handful of arrows in Nanfeng Courtyard.

When Guo Lin saw this scene, he admired Zhang Yue even more in his heart.

"Senior brother, it's a good thing to practice martial arts, but if you have such an empty stomach, how can you have the strength to study at night."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he almost forgot about this stubble.

If you have to boil your strength, how can you do it without eating enough, and even eat meat, but if you have no soup and little water all day long, you are really poor and rich in civil and military, and it is not so easy to have both civil and military skills.

In the evening, Li Zheng personally sent a letter of guarantee to Guo Lin.

The county school admission test must be done by local children, and there can be no misconduct, from filial piety, piety, harmony, grace, benevolence, compassion, loyalty, and the eight elements of the test, otherwise in the future to be admitted to the Jinshi, the foundation will be revealed, and the court will ask the following crimes.

Li Zheng was about to vouch for Guo Lin that he had not committed adultery, while Zhang Yue was also going home to ask Cao Baozheng to get a bail.

"Thank you." Guo Lin took the book of protection and said with a smile.

Li Zheng smiled at Zhang Yue, Guo Lin said: "You are all good children, but I hope that double happiness is coming, and you have joined the county school, so say it, your husband also has a light on his face!" ”

Although Li Zheng said kind words, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin knew that not to mention the two of them, even if one of them wanted to be hired by the county school, how difficult it would be.

But at this moment, both of them invariably forgot about this stubble: "Thank you Lizheng!" ”

Li Zheng said with a smile: "Tell me when you go to the exam, and I will hire a car to take you to the county seat." ”

"How does this work?"

Li Zheng insisted: "The two of you are out of business, and the hundred and ten families in our village will also be wiped out with you, so what is the point of hiring a car?" That's it. ”

After Li Zheng left, Guo Lin said to Zhang Yue with a sigh: "Senior brother, but I hope we can talk about the friendship of classmates again." ”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "That's easy, we can't even pass the exam...... Senior brother, I said to laugh, don't be angry. Put the basin down and have something to say! ”

Guo Lin put down the basin at the head of the bed, and said with a straight face: "This is going to the county school to recruit, we can take one of them." I will do my best, and junior brother, you will be off the list by then, don't cry in front of me and my husband! Did you know? ”

"Senior brother is serious, I really can't stand the joke."

Guo Lin said: "Joke? Do you know how many people in the county order have studied hard for decades and have achieved nothing so far, they are laughed at as poor, and even three-foot children look down on them. ”

"From the first day I was in school, I knew how hard it was to become famous. My father once told me that if I can't endure the cold window for ten years, I am not worthy of being called a scholar. I know that I am still trembling, and I dare not slack off for a day, even if I don't pass this year, I will still take the exam again next year, what about you, junior brother? Do you think about what the future holds? ”

"A few days ago, you said to me, Xi is still nengxi, why not be a teenager in life, I was moved by it, but what are you reading today? What is the difference between your words and the village children who are fighting outside and refuse to learn? If you think of reading as child's play, then books will also be child's play with you! ”

Guo Linyang sprinkled a tirade, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but slander, Senior brother, you can talk to Miao Sanniang so much, what kind of reason are you looking for me here.

Zhang Yue still said: "What Senior Brother said is extremely true. ”

Guo Lin continued: "Recently, you have been able to pass nine out of ten, but in the county test, you have passed nine out of ten. ”

"In the county exam, you can only make one or two mistakes at most, and I heard that it is more difficult to learn from the state, and you must pass them all, and you are not allowed to make a mistake."

Zhang Yue asked, "Senior brother, then can you only make one or two mistakes in a hundred ways?" ”

Guo Lin said: "If you don't go to the book, you may have two or three sures, but when you read it again in two or three months, you have forgotten a lot." Now I don't know how many percent are left, junior brother, you are not familiar with the scriptures, these days there are many mistakes, if you want to take the middle, you must read the scriptures thoroughly, memorize a word well...... Brother, are you listening carefully? ”

"It's the same old tune again!"

Zhang Yue was accustomed to listening to Guo Lin's chatter, and felt that his senior brother was really a mother-in-law. I sat on the bed and opened the bed tent to look out the window, but I saw that the bright moon was jumping over the pines, and the breeze was blowing without hurry, and the pine forest sounded up and down, and the echo was long.

What a laid-back scene it is!

The urgency that the senior brother said is still in the far, far future, and the uncertainty of the future is not better than anxiety, and the days are so calm, he believes that the future will be better!

Zhang Yue put his hands behind his head, took a broken grass from the straw mat and put it in his mouth, looked at the starlight outside the tent, and slowly closed his eyes.

At the beginning of March, it rained heavily for several days, and Qingxi swelled.

At first, the rain was not heavy, the bridge was flooded, and the stream overflowed from ancient times, but the children did not dare to catch fish in the shallows.

After causing a flash flood, the mountain stream on weekdays rose into a river, and the water poured down from the mountain, washed down several ancient dams, swept the beach rocks and debris, and the fishing boats and boats downstream were washed away a lot.

It is the time when the earth is rejuvenated, but the slaughter of March is comparable to the harsh winter.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin were going to leave for the county seat to take the exam, but it was postponed for several days because of the heavy rain.

When the sky cleared, the two embarked on the exam.

Many people from the village came to see them off, which made Zhang Yue feel more about this small mountain village.

On the side, the master nagged the two of them: "The dry food in the car is enough for you to eat for three days, don't go to the city to eat uncleanly, it is easy to eat bad stomach." It's so big, Guo Lin, it's the first time you've gone far away. ”

"The child knows the mother, please rest assured, the child will take care." Guo Lin was silent.

Zhang Yue said: "Don't worry, when I get to the city, I will go back to my own home, I will take care of my brother and ensure that he is not wronged at all." ”

Shi Niang said: "I don't have to worry about you." You are more like a senior brother than Guo Lin. ”

Li Zheng put the cart on the two of them, and said: "This donkey was borrowed from Han Tao's family, although he said that he would not come to give you away, but he did not grind when he asked him to borrow the donkey." Although he didn't have the heart, he arrived, and you see how well the donkey is fed. ”

Listening to Li Zheng's words, Zhang Yue remembered that this Han Tao was the eldest brother who had not been admitted to the county school.

Guo Lin said sullenly: "If only Senior Brother Han could come to see us off, I haven't heard him play the flute for a long time." ”

Li Zheng said to the person who was driving: "I explain to you that you don't have to rush this donkey too much along the way." This donkey is not yet old, and he is energetic, but if you insist that he does not go, he must be pat lightly by his temperament, and he will know that this thing is very clever. ”

After hearing this, Guo Lin finally suddenly said: "No wonder it is kind, this donkey's temper is quite similar to that of his junior brother!" ”

Zhang Yue was dumbfounded, and his senior brother had learned to have a poisonous tongue with him over time.

But when Zhang Yue turned to see Guo Lin, he didn't mean to vomit at all, as if he really felt so, and he felt even more angry.

"Mother, Lizheng, let's go!" Guo Lin and Zhang Yue beckoned together.

Sitting on the swaying donkey cart, Zhang Yue Guo Lin saw the master who was waving at them, and Li Zheng was getting farther and farther away from the villagers. Guo Lin couldn't help but turn around and wipe away his tears.

Zhang Yue said: "Is there such a thing? It's just a trip to the county seat, not a long trip. ”

"Senior brother also said that I cried on the first day you came to Wuxi."

"That's right," Zhang Yue nodded, "but senior brother, don't wipe your nose with my clothes." ”

"Sorry, I forgot for a while."

The car wheeled on the gravel road, the donkey cart shook and shook, leaving Wuxi, Zhang Yue looked back at the green mountains and blue streams, remembering that he had been studying for most of the year, this moment was like a world away, and suddenly Qingyue's flute sounded behind the car.

Zhang Yue looked at Guo Lin, and Guo Lin nodded to him: "Senior Brother Han is here to see us off." ”

"Senior Brother Han has learned the flute?"

"He let the cows go."

"No wonder." Zhang Yue nodded, although the artistic conception was much worse, but this atmosphere was right.

Zhang Yue leaned out of the canopy from the back of the car and shouted loudly to the flute: "Senior Brother Han, goodbye!" ”

"Lizheng, Master, goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"
