Chapter 48: My Stupid Brother

When he left the Yan Mansion, he was still shocked and looked back frequently.

"Are you still thinking about that Yan Clan Yushu?" Heifu saw all this in his eyes and teased his younger brother.

"Why!"

Shockedly, his face turned red, like a monkey's buttocks, and then he said obsessively: "Brother Zhong, tell me, the same woman, why is it that our daughters next door have dark and rough skin, dirty hair, and mud between their fingernails, but that Yan Yushu is so, so ......"

He couldn't find the words to describe it for a while.

"The hands are like lotus roots, the skin is like clotted fat, the teeth are like gourds, the eyebrows of the head of the mantis, and the smile takes your soul?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Zhong said it so well! ”

looked at Heifu in shock, and his eyes were full of "you know me". At the end, he turned around and sighed: "If you marry a wife, you should marry a Yan girl." ”

"My brother, you are not as old as me, and your mind is full of thinking about marrying a wife."

Heifu smiled and shook his head, just now when he was copying the law, Yan Xu's granddaughter was curious about their identities, and peeked outside the door, but was shocked to find out. From that moment on, the horror began to wander the world.

Obviously, this young man, who was almost 16 years old, was like the pimples blooming everywhere on his face, and his heart burst out with an emotion called love, and he was fascinated by the 14-year-old girl.

Although, in Heifu's eyes, that little girl, in the next generation, is just an ordinary female high school student.

But think about it, too, unlike him, who is well-informed and has countless beauties in his hard drive. In the past ten years, I have rarely left the sunset, and all I see are peasant girls, and suddenly I see a little lady who is well-maintained, white-washed, with neat teeth, and wearing a beautiful dress.

"It's the same woman, but why is there such a big difference, it's like ......"

Shocked and exhausted, he pointed to the dirty mud on the ground, and then to the white clouds in the sky: "It's like this mud compared to the clouds!" ”

"I'll tell you why."

Hefu patted his startled shoulder and slapped his dream to pieces.

"It's just because she didn't have to go to the fields to deliver food to her father and brother under the scorching sun since she was a child; Just because she has clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, she doesn't have to blow the stove herself; Just because she can eat the ointment every meal, and she doesn't have to chew the coarse rice bran like you and my sisters and sisters-in-law; Just because she was born in a family of surnames and is the daughter of an official, she is naturally different from us generations of poor peasants. ”

When he heard this, he nodded at first, but slowly he was stunned until he didn't say a word.

He suddenly felt the status gap with the Yan girl, should he marry a wife and marry a Yan girl? Hehe, the little longing that had just ignited in my heart was extinguished.

"Brother Zhong, you are really boring."

Muttered in surprise, took the bamboo basket from Heifu's hand, put it on his shoulder, and walked forward silently.

Heifu stopped talking, and the two of them walked out of the plaque one after the other, and walked along the hillside in the direction of the setting sun. While walking, I was shocked to look back at the plaque, the sun was setting, and the top of the Yan mansion was a piece of sunset, looking close, but in fact it was far away, like the girl he would never touch.

For the first time, sorrow appeared in the eyes of this half-grown child, who seemed to never grow up under the protection of his brother.

"Surprised."

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Heifu called his brother and said, "Do you understand what I wanted you to remember?" ”

Looked back in a daze: "What's the matter?" ”

"Why is that erection person condescending to us, and Yan Zhang's cold and then hot to me?"

"Why ......" was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "It's because they know that my brother is going to be the pavilion chief!" ”

"That's right!" Hefu patted him in surprise and asked him to sit down on the side of the road.

"I'll tell you another story, the story related to Su Qin is called "Former and Later Gong"!"

……

After experiencing these things, Su Qin sighed and said, I am the same person, when I am rich, my relatives will fear me, and when I am poor, they will despise me. And what about ordinary people......"

A moment later, after finishing Su Qin's story, Heifu exclaimed: "Now you understand, a person's status in the eyes of others is completely different. What happened to you and me today is much like Su Qin, if you don't know that I will be the pavilion chief, let alone recognize me as a disciple, we will probably have to stand outside Yan Zhang's study all the time! ”

nodded in shock, but said a little dejectedly: "Brother Zhong, you have the ability, meritorious service, and the opportunity to be the pavilion chief, naturally like Su Qin, you will be looked down upon, but I ...... I can only continue to be a little soldier who is nothing, and I have no outstanding skills, and I will always be looked down upon. ”

The more he talked, the more he felt inferior.

"Who said that?"

Heifu encouraged him: "Although my brother seems to be naughty, I know that you are clever and smart! Now, there is an opportunity for you to be a official, to embark on a career like me, and to be looked down upon! ”

Shocked's eyes suddenly lit up: "What chance?" ”

Heifu said: "If I can pass the assessment and become the head of Huyang Pavilion, the first year is just a probation, and in the second year, I will be a formal official." When I was in the county seat, I asked a magistrate I knew, and he said that when the time comes, I can recommend one of my own children to study law in the school! Once you've entered the school, you're a disciple! ”

It turned out that although the Qin State banned poetry and books, it also had its own set of education methods, and the counties generally had official schools-schools. The students in the school are called "disciples", and the source of the disciples is limited, stipulating that they are at least the children of "Shi". The so-called "history" refers to low-level civil servants such as clerks, secretaries, and archivists of government organs at all levels.

In the classroom, students have to learn to write, drive, fencing, archery, etc., which is actually a variant of the Confucian "six arts of the gentleman". However, because the purpose of learning is to become an official, the Qin Dynasty advocated the rule of law, and the most important learning content was to study laws and regulations. The disciple should hold the rules copied by Hefu and memorize them until they are ripe and become a part of their own lives.

After graduating successfully, the disciples from the school are generally assigned employment by the state, and they are appointed as low-level civil servants and enter the official career. You don't have to be lucky like Heifu, or other people, to cut off your head on the battlefield in exchange for merit and officials.

"That old man Yan is famous and well-known, and his family is wealthy, but do you know that he was just a little disciple in the school back then, and he accumulated his achievements step by step, so that he has today."

After talking about the benefits of being a disciple in the admission room, Heifu asked seriously: "Surprise, are you willing to enter the room as a disciple, stay in it for two or three years, and ask for a better future than now?" Higher status? “

"Little brother is willing!" Shocked was already so excited that she burst into tears, but she also hesitated.

He lowered his head and whispered, "But I don't even know the words, how can I be a disciple?" ”

"Isn't there another year?"

Heifu encouraged him and said: "I asked you to come with me today, just to entrust you to Yan Zhang, I heard that Yan Zhang's second son has opened a school in the township to teach people to read and understand the law, and you can go to school by paying some money and silk, you might as well go and listen to it......"

The Qin State not only had government-run schools, but also some temporary classrooms to teach the children of wealthy people in the countryside to read and write. Living in the Qin State, if there is no literate person in the family, maybe one day he will break the law in a daze and be connected.

"But ......" was shocked and tangled, people face unfamiliar things, taking the first step is always the most difficult, with his horse monkey character, can sit quietly and study? Hefu himself was a little unconvinced.

So Heifu stretched out his tone: "I have heard that the second son of Yan Zhang is the father of the lady you see today!" If you can learn literacy well, become a disciple in the admission room, and become a junior official in the future, then you will be considered the lintel, and maybe Yan Zhang will marry his granddaughter to you! ”

"Is that true?"

The innocent was suddenly overjoyed, and the flame of love that had just been extinguished was ignited again, and he bowed down to Heifu and said, "I understand the deep meaning of Brother Zhong!" Everything is up to Brother Zhong! ”

On the way home, the carefree surprise returned, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about his suddenly brighter future, and the girl who made him fall in love at first sight.

As everyone knows, Heifu, who was behind him, shook his head secretly.

"My stupid brother, how can you understand my brother's good intentions?"

The reason why Heifu flickered into the school room was to change his future and make him a good match with the Yan family, so that he could marry a beautiful girl...... It's all empty words!

Most importantly, there was one thing that Haifu asked:

The first thing a disciple in the admission room has to do is to change his household registration, from an ordinary place of origin, to a "disciple registration".

And Qin Law also stipulates that those who are on the list of disciples do not need to serve during the study period!

Not only is it a change of service, but even military service and soldiers can be exempted!

This is one of the few legal loopholes in the strict and harsh Qin law.

Entering the room as a disciple is also the only way for Heifu to let his younger brother escape the war three years later after thinking hard.

If history is not changed, in the war of Wang Jian with an army of 600,000 to attack Chu, the two brothers will all die in battle, their bones will not survive, and their souls will not return to their hometowns, leaving only a letter for their families to remember.

Now, Heifu is confident that he will survive the war, but he is not sure that he will be able to save his brother in the chaos and complexity of the battlefield.

Therefore, he can only make this decision.

In front of the heart, Heifu is the younger brother, and the eldest brother is like a father, and the heart will think about many things for him in every detail.

In front of the shock, Heifu became the elder brother, and it was his turn to think about the future for his younger brother.

Of course, the real purpose of all this is not to resort to words, but to arrange it silently to keep him safe.

The flower of Tangtang, Hu Buweiwei, all the people of today, are like brothers.

The power of death and mourning, brother Kong Huai, the original Xi Xuan, the brother begged.

Brother, isn't that how it should be?

"I'm not just going to keep myself alive."

Looking at his younger brother humming a ballad in front of him, Heifu thought silently: "I still want to be shocked and live, so that our whole family, in this ups and downs of the world, there are many people alive, and we have to live as much as possible!" ”
