At this moment, Heifu was not in Huyang Pavilion, but took a rare rest and took his younger brother to the county seat.

It is not easy for a countryman to enter the city, and the last time he came to the county seat was many years ago, when he was still young and his family was poor, he just followed his mother and walked casually, and went back without buying anything. I only remember that at that time, I really wanted to eat the citrus sold in the market, but my mother refused to buy it because of lack of money in my pocket, which made him cry and howl all the way......

So this time when Heifu brought Surprise into the city, he let Surprise follow him, and went around well, and the two brothers stood at the dock and pointed out the ships coming and going, guessing where they would go next; In the Guansi District, I looked at the Rui beasts on the eaves, called out their names one by one, and pointed out the names of the official offices under the different eaves.

"It's a county jail, it looks a little grim, right? When I first came to the county seat, it was there that I confronted people in court, and finally proved my innocence. ”

"That is the courtyard of the main official, in charge of the advance and retreat of officials, on the first day of December last year, it was there that I answered twenty legal questions correctly in one go, and was appointed as the pavilion chief, awarded the red wield."

"That's the county lieutenant's office, it's heavily guarded, I, the pavilion chief, will be in charge there, if the county lieutenant has an order, I have to follow the ......"

It was very enjoyable to listen to, watching Brother Zhong confidently instruct these high-ranking officials, and greet the officials he knew, not to mention worshipping him more, but envying his brother's colorful experience.

Any one piece is enough to brag to your companion for a long time.

In the end, Heifu also bought a new dress for Shock, and after wearing it, wearing a short sword, Shocky also transformed into a well-dressed weak-crowned young man, no longer like a little country rascal.

After walking around Anlu County, he couldn't help but be full of envy: "Brother Zhong, this county town is really good, the market is lively, the clothes are good-looking, and even those little women are well maintained." ”

"I don't know."

Heifu scolded with a smile: "No matter how lively it is, it's just a small county town, and when you go to the county town in the future, you will see more things!" If you can go to Xianyang, you can see what you haven't seen in this life! The palace is full of traffic, and there is everything. ”

"It's still possible to take the county seat, but Xianyang ......"

Surprised, he said with some suspicion: "Xianyang is the capital of the country, how can you go if you want to, hasn't Brother Zhong never been there?" ”

"I will go someday, not as a soldier, but in a cart!"

"The cart ......" bit his tongue in surprise and didn't dare to think about it.

Heifu patted his younger brother: "You are the same, as long as you are diligent in the school room and successfully graduate, you will be able to have a smooth career in the future." ”

Heifu came to the county seat this time, not for anything else, but to send him into the county school and become a disciple.

Last month, the news of Qin's invasion of Chu came out, which made Heifu break out in a cold sweat, so he advanced the time of entering school from the beginning of spring to October.

This advance, but the boss was not confident, he rubbed his hands and muttered: "Brother Zhong, although I have worked hard to read and write in the past six months, I can only barely read and write." I've heard that if you want to be a teacher in the classroom, you must be proficient in using 5,000 words to write official documents! In addition, they must be proficient in law, mathematics, driving, and fencing...... These are all things that the officials have been doing since elementary school, but I don't understand them at all. ”

Shock's worries are not superfluous, his foundation is too poor, and he really can't compare with the children of officials. The official swordsmen and pen officials who have been passed down from generation to generation have a good family education, such as Zhang Tang, who is seven or eight years old and learns from his father to handle cases and interrogate mice......

Of course, Heifu knew it, but he didn't want to be surprised to excel in the school, and only hoped that he could obediently be a disciple for three years and avoid military service in the Unification War. Of course, it is best to graduate smoothly, in that case, the future of the family will be determined.

He himself took the route of the chief of the martial arts pavilion, licked the blood from the knife edge to catch the thief, went to fight on the battlefield, and Bo had a chance to rise step by step in the big era.

Although he is now only a small craftsman, his exquisite skills have been appreciated by the county engineers.

As for Uncle Zhen, if the effect of the composting method is confirmed by Tanabe Zuo in Yunmeng Township, he can also smoothly enter the field official system and be a field in the sunset. Tian Dian is the safest place for the officials, and if there is a bad theft or murder incident, the local prison will be punished for dereliction of duty, but Tian Dian is not responsible. As a field leader, he only needs to urge the people to work diligently in farming, complete the rent, and improve the farming technology by the way.

After all, there is only one scribe in the family who is mixed in the system, and he is the youngest and the most malleable, so he is naturally the first choice.

But he looked unconfident, and Heifu felt that in addition to words like "future", he had to be surprised a little bit.

So he coughed and said, "I forgot to tell you one thing, some time ago, when I was recuperating at home, I went to visit Yan Zhang, who was in the plaque......"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Brother Zhong, when you visited Yan, you saw the lady of the Yan family?" ”

Since last year's glimpse, I have never forgotten that little girl.

Heifu smiled: "I haven't seen it, but I heard that she is almost at the age of marriage, and Yan Zhang's heart is high, and he threatens that his granddaughter will not be allowed to marry unless he is a dowry, and he will not marry a non-official......"

Stunned, he was dumbfounded: "How can it be so!" ”

Heifu said: "Brother Ji, I know your intentions, Brother Zhong has a word first, if you can successfully graduate in three years, I will take 10,000 yuan to Yanzhang's house and ask for your marriage!" ”

"Is that true?"

Sure enough, the fighting spirit immediately came, and he said hurriedly: "Three years is not good, Yan Yushu is already fourteen, and she will get married in two years." Brother Zhong, two years! Within two years, I must be a teacher from the school! ”

"Two years?"

Heifu calculated, in two years, the Qin State has not completely destroyed Chu, right? He immediately straightened his face: "You keep up with your studies first, and then it's not too late to boast!" ”

After speaking, Heifu took the surprise to the school located in the north of the county seat, where there was no official school at all, neither pan pond nor apricot altar, according to the tradition of the Legalist "Queen of the Law", not to mention the worship of a certain sage, only a few simple houses.

The teachers here are no different from ordinary officials in their dress. The sound of reading aloud in the school hall is not "poems" and "books", but boring laws and regulations.

Taking the law as the teaching and the officials as the teacher, this is the characteristic of education in the Qin State.

Heifu and Surprise met with the master of the school, who was the younger brother of Dr. Xi, whose name was dare, and his title was not changed. Daring to have a relationship with Heifu, Heifu entrusted his younger brother to him and offered him a bundle......

Dare to be surprised, first go through the procedures for joining the disciple, and stamp the new "ID card" in his hand, Heifu can be relieved.

This means that as a disciple of the academy, before finishing his studies, he can be exempted from all changes and military service, and he will definitely be able to avoid the great battle of Chu.

In this way, Heifu arranged all the men in the family, but for the surprise, Heifu couldn't use the knowledge of the future generations to help him, and it was up to him how to go in the future.

When he sent him out of the school, he seemed to remember something, and said to him, "You are here, don't move, I'll go and come back." ”

Surprised, he looked at his brother's tall back and walked to the other side of the road, asked a few words to a few farmers who were squatting on the ground to sell things, and soon came back, what else was in the blanket in his arms......

It wasn't until Hefu approached him that he saw that it was full of citrus!

Heifu grinned: "Mother often said that when I first brought you to the county seat, you wanted to eat citrus, but the family was poor at that time, and she was reluctant to buy it for you, so you cried all the way......"

was a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhong, this trivial matter, my mother has been saying it for more than ten years, and every year in winter, I have to take it out and talk about it at the dinner table, which really annoys me." ”

"That's why I remember." As he spoke, Hefu shoved the yellow and green citrus into his arms.

"The best fruit in Jianghan is this citrus, oranges in late autumn are sweet!"

Heifu peeled a citrus and put it in his mouth, and tasted the sweet and sour orange flesh, which he thought was the most beautiful food in the world when he was a child, but when he grew up, he realized that it was actually just a delicious sour fruit.

"Brother Ji, do you remember when I told you the story of "Yan Zi Makes Chu"? What does Yan Ying say about orange inside? ”

"Yes."

nodded in surprise, in the past year or so, every time Brother Zhong came home, he always liked to tell him about some people and things outside, such as Yan Ying and Su Qin, which made him gain a lot of knowledge.

"Yan Zi said that orange is born in Huaibei is orange, and orange is born in Huainan is orange......"

"Not bad." Heifu said: "Ye Tu is similar, but the taste is different. So what? The water and soil are also different. ”

"Brother Ji, if you have been living in the poor countryside in the sunset, frolicking with those rural teenagers, I am afraid that your future life will be no different from them. But now, when you go to the county seat, get along with the officials, take the officials as teachers, and have more knowledge, this is like transplanting orange trees from Huaibei to Huainan, and your future should be different. So, don't be presumptuous. ”

Heifu pointed to his head and smiled: "Besides, they were all born to the same parents, your middle brother is so smart, and the law answers all twenty questions correctly, let alone you?" ”

"Brother Zhong, this is a change of way to boast." I laughed out loud, but for some reason, my worries about the future were alleviated a lot.

"You're doing it yourself." Although the younger brother was young, he was a smart man, and Heifu didn't say much, waved at him, and left.

Seeing Heifu walking away, he was surprised to restrain his smile and look deeply at his back.

Although he didn't say it, he was always grateful to Heifu for guiding him all the way.

"Brother should be diligent, and never live up to the high expectations of the middle brother!"

……

On the Heuff side, he had just left the school room and turned a corner, when he met a man hurrying by on horseback. As soon as the man saw him, he quickly stopped his horse and shouted, "Hefu, I have found you!" ”

Heifu saw that it was Wei Shi Anpu, and after experiencing the cooperation in the last case, the two also became friends, and the relationship was very good.

"It turned out to be Wei Shi." Heifu smiled, "What's the matter with me?" Why don't you invite me to the house to have a meal again? ”

This Anpu home is also Luyou, Anlu County, the family cooks with good skills, and after Heifu went once, he has never forgotten it.

"When is it, you still want to eat and drink with food!"

Anpu dismounted, pulled Heifu over, and lowered his voice to warn: "Heifu, I heard the news that Captain Zuo has appointed you to escort the prisoners to the north to serve, this is a chore, maybe you will have to worry about your life!" ”
