There is no feast in the world.

Zhang Shi'an left after all, and was very satisfied with the poem written by Shen Yun to him.

The people who came to see him off dispersed one by one, and Shen Yun only accosted someone a few words, and left the ferry in a hurry. It's not the first time he feels that he is being stared at behind him, and he doesn't have to think about it, except for Shen Xi and Zhang Yan, two guys who have some thoughts about him, who else can be.

On the way home, Shen Yun was worried.

I don't know what the next two people will use to deal with themselves.

In the Yazhong of Chengji County, Zhang Yan, who had been blowing a cool breeze for a long time, was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely.

A porcelain bowl is as thin as paper, and the turquoise tea reveals a bright light, just like Zhang Yan's mood at this time, extremely comfortable. As soon as Zhang Shi'an left, a big mountain above his head finally moved away.

Although the new prefect has just taken office, he can't make any big moves. Today's Chengji County is not tossed by itself.

Just thinking of this, Zhang Shi'an felt extremely comfortable.

However, today Shen Yun was proud in front of everyone again, which really made people feel a little unhappy. Thinking of this, Zhang Yan said to Shen Xi, who was bent over beside him: "Your nephew, it's time to treat him." ”

Shen Xi smiled proudly: "Don't worry about the county zun, there is a good way to cure him right now." ”

whispered to Zhang Yan, and instantly made Zhang Yan pat his thigh and applaud: "I want to see if a talented person who can't even take the exam can still be considered a talent." Hahaha, Shen Xi, yes, directly draw five taels of silver on Hu Cao's account, and count me as your reward. ”

Shen Xi was overjoyed and thanked Zhang Yan again and again.

The sky of Niu'an Fort is changing, and the sky was originally fine, but in an instant, the curtain was pulled up by dark clouds, and the thunder was bursting, and it was about to rain hard.

But what pressed on the hearts of the people of Niu Saddle Fort was not the clouds in the sky, but the news that came out of Shen Mei's house just now. One by one, they looked in the direction of Shen Yun's house, shook their heads with a little guilt, and turned back to the house.

I'm about to send a release test.

For Shen Yun and Shen's mother, this has become the biggest thing in the family.

Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells in the book.

There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.

There is no need to hate when you go out without a car, there are many horses in the book.

There is no need to hate a wife without a matchmaker, there is a woman in the book who is like jade.

The boy wanted to fulfill his life's ambition and read the Six Classics to the window diligently.

This is the pen of Zhao Heng of Zhenzong, and it is a persuasion poem that makes the hearts of tens of millions of readers. It spread so widely that even an illiterate woman like Shen's mother could read two of them.

The situation of Shen Yun's family needs to change urgently, and the imperial examination is undoubtedly the best way.

It's just that before the liberation test, you still need to make some preparations, and the most important thing is to ask the ten hometown neighbors to jointly guarantee it, of course, this is what only scholars like Shen Yun who have not experienced orthodox official education have to do.

Of course, co-branding is not necessary, there are other ways, but in comparison, this is a bit simpler.

In Shen Yun's view, although the relationship between the villagers of Niu'anbao and their own families is not very close, but the scientific examination is a guarantee, and everyone is eager to be a guarantor for the inheritance over the years, after all, once the scholars who should be promoted are successful, they must be grateful for the kindness of these people.

The first day of the seventh month.

Shen Yun wrote the letter of guarantee and walked out of the door, wanting to find the neighbors to press their fingerprints.

This fingerprint is also particular, first of all, the person's name and surname must be written. Many of the villagers are illiterate, and Shen Yun will do it for him. The person who pressed the fingerprint must be the thumb of an adult man.

Fingerprints should be clearly visible and not smudge.

Shen Yun walked first to the third master's house next door. has done so many neighbors, the relationship is also very good, the third master also spoke for Shen Yun many times that day, if you say that this finger print, it is really the most refreshing.

"Yo, Yunwazi, come in. Why did you get a piece of paper? ”

The third master was sitting on the grinding plate in the courtyard basking in the sun, and when he saw Shen Yun coming in, he put down the dry tobacco stick made of sheep bones in his hand and greeted him warmly.

"Third master, but there is something I want to ask your old man for help."

"Say it."

"But I'm going to take a release test soon, I want you to be a guarantor."

Shen Yun said, and suddenly found that the face on the third master's face was a little gloomy, and he only thought that he was careless in his words, and there was something that offended the old man, so he hurriedly changed his words: "If there is anything offended, don't take it to heart to your old man." ”

The third master didn't listen to what Shen Yun said, just smoked a dry cigarette. Until Shen Yun's legs and feet were a little numb, he suddenly sighed and said meaningfully to Shen Yun: "Baby, you have to remember that the old man is good to you." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to have made a lot of determination, took the ink in Shen Yun's hand, rubbed it on his thumb, and asked Shen Yun, "Where do you want to press it?" ”

Although Shen Yun didn't know why, since the third master agreed, he was naturally happy, and hurriedly wrote the name of the third master on the paper: "Just press it here." ”

The third master pressed his fingerprint according to Shen Yun's instructions, and without saying much, he waved his hand to let Shen Yun out. looked at the back of the far, and suddenly sighed in a low voice: "Hard-working baby." ”

The next goal is naturally his own opponent.

Although it is not surnamed Shen, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the relationship between the two families has been extremely close over the years. When Shen Yun's family was rich that day, the family also came to borrow money and food from time to time, and when it came to human favors, except for the third master's family, it was best to stamp fingerprints on this family.

"Aunt Zhou, is Old Uncle Zhou here?"

As soon as I stepped through the courtyard gate, a woman in her forties was squatting on the ground, cutting wild vegetables with a sickle. The chickens and pigs at home all bring weeds and chop them and mix some wheat bran as feed.

"It's Yunwa'er. What are you looking for Uncle Zhou? ”

"But the scientific examination is approaching, and I want to find Uncle Zhou as a guarantor."

The woman glanced at the pen and paper in Shen Yun's hand, her eyes shrank slightly, and she smiled awkwardly: "Your old Uncle Zhou, but he is not here." In the past few days, someone said that there was a rich family in the city who was looking for a helper to repair the house, and he went with him. ”

"How long will it take to be back?"

"I don't know about it. The family was in a hurry, and I didn't come back for a while. Yunwa'er, you should find someone else's house, this matter, my aunt is also powerless. The woman said very directly, completely cutting off Shen Yun's thoughts.

I had no choice but to go back. Just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly heard a strange noise in the house. Looking back, Aunt Zhou'er's expression seemed to be extremely panicked, and her hands shaking the grass trembled slightly.

Shen Yun shook his head, and didn't go back to ask after all.

It's just that when I went out, it seemed that the neighbors were suddenly busy. No matter which family's strong laborers are asked, none of them are at home, and even if they are blocked in the house, they will find all kinds of reasons to shirk it.

Shen Yun was very helpless.

After running back and forth in the village, it was almost the end of a day, and the sun was setting, although the warm evening breeze on the body made people feel refreshed, but Shen Yun felt so tired.

When she returned home, Shen's mother saw Shen Yun's frustration at a glance.

"Yun'er, what's wrong, how did you go out for a day, but this is the scene when you come back." After the meal was prepared and served on the table, Shen's mother asked kindly.

Shen Yun sighed: "I went to find a guarantor today, I don't want everyone to shirk it." It's also weird, so far, only the third master has pressed his fingerprints and said some strange things. ”

Mother Shen shook her head: "What's so strange about this, have you forgotten that last time your grandfather took you to find someone to press your fingerprints, and some people haven't been to it twice." ”

This can be regarded as a means for these villagers.

Probably just can't let the reader get their guarantee too easily, and the difficulty is higher, so that people can go one more time, and they will only read their own good when they pass the exam in the future.

Thinking about it, as Shen's mother said, Shen Yun could only nod silently.

After sleeping all night and relieving his aching body, Shen Yun went out with a pen and paper again.

It's just that this time it's still the same as yesterday, and Shen Yun touched a few soft nails again and again. Even the impatience and horror in these mouths do not seem to be fake.

Shen Yun was always a little confused, could it be so difficult to find a guarantor.

Back home, Shen Yun didn't need Shen's mother to ask, so he took the initiative to recount today's experience with a wry smile. came, complained with a little helplessness: "Auntie, you say, the neighbors in our village, why are they holding shelves like this?" ”

"People probably see that you don't have hair on your mouth and can't speak firmly."

Although he was a little worried, he was still joking in the end, trying to make Shen Yun feel at ease as much as possible.

"That's it, I'll accompany you on a trip tomorrow, I think everyone is bullying you as a junior, so naturally I have to toss you a few more times. It's all from the neighbors, and if I want to come forward, they won't be like this. ”

Shen Yun didn't want to work for Shen's mother.

But think about it, it's really as Shen's mother said, if you just consume it like this, how do you know when it will be consumed, it's better to hand it over to Shen's mother.

Nodding, Shen Yun smiled: "In the end, you still have to rely on A-Niang." This scientific expedition is really a toss-up thing. ”

"After all, if you pass the exam, you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life, what is this toss."
