Sun Xiaohua next to her saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, is this really that serious?" ”

She grabbed Sun Yuan's sleeve violently and kept shaking her head, her eyes were full of pleading, obviously not wanting to see her brother and her husband conflict.

Seeing her expression, Sun Yuan's heart softened, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the government is urging me tightly, and I'm a little annoying, but I can still deal with the past." ”

As he spoke, he drank the well water from the bowl in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, picked up the mat and strode out.

Gao Quan's sneer came from behind: "You want to borrow money, and you are still playing tricks in front of me?" ”

Then came the voice of my sister's pleading: "Xianggong, maybe something really happened at home." ”

"What home, this is your home. What's your mother's business with me...... Married into our Gao family, I will eat and drink for you, look at you, look at you, you look at you, for a few years, and I didn't even give birth to a man and a girl...... Even if you feed a chicken, you have to lay an egg for me, right? Sooner or later, I'll take a break from you. ”

The scolding was unbearable, interspersed with the mournful cries of my sister.

Sun Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head suddenly, and looked at Gao Quan with red eyes.

After all, he was also a white-collar small boss in his previous life, although it is nothing in modern society. But in the eyes of the ancients, they have seen the world.

Forced to look at by Sun Yuantong's red eyes, Gao Quan's heart suddenly became timid, and he couldn't help but shout: "What do you want to do, I teach myself a lesson to my own family, and I can't talk about you pointing fingers." ”

Sun Yuan said coldly: "Gao Quan, you really have no one in my sister's mother's house, who was going to divorce my sister just now?" ”

Sun Xiaohua's cry became louder: "Brother, have you spoken to your brother-in-law like this, why don't you make amends to him quickly." ”

Sun Yuan: "Sister, don't be afraid, if you are wronged at home, even if you come to me, your brother is not a person who is afraid of things." I am only two relatives of you and my mother in the world, from now on, with me one day, I will never let you suffer a little grievance! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Gao Quan with cold eyes.

When Sun Yuan was in his previous life, although he seemed to have a soft temperament on weekdays, no one provoked him. Moreover, because his family was poor when he was a child, he was often bullied, which also developed a strong spirit in his bones.

Since junior high school, he has been fighting with people, with his classmates, with boys from other classes, and with other schools. When I got to college, I fought with people from other schools who came to find fault, and he was a well-known and brave person.

Later, when he came out of society, he found that the fists of the outside world were useless, relying on power and money, so he put away his temperament and mixed up his life.

Just now he was provoked by his brother-in-law, and Sun Yuan's blood surged up.

Seeing Sun Yuan's cold gaze, Gao Quan shuddered, his body trembled, and exclaimed, "What do you want to do, don't mess around." I know people from the yamen, and the master of the ceremonial room is the cousin of my uncle's cousin, and we had a wine the day before yesterday. To be honest with you, the master is a foreigner, and he has only been here for a few days, and he doesn't understand anything. Isn't this about to take the county test, and people have come to ask me what outstanding schoolchildren there are in my county! If you dare to provoke me anything, I will carefully arrest you into the yamen. ”

The so-called county examination is the county-level examination in the imperial examination system.

The imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties were divided into three levels: the children's examination, the township examination and the general examination.

The children's test is divided into three sections: the county test, the government test and the hospital test, and the test locations are in the county, government and province. You have to pass one by one, and only after passing the provincial first-level college examination can you get the fame of Xiucai and be considered a real reader.

After the boy has passed the test, it is the township test. Those who win the township test are lifters, and they can directly become officials. Of course, most of the official positions are the assistant to the county first, that is, the deputy county level in later generations. Because of the inherent limitations, the channel for rising is not large, and generally speaking, he will be in the sub-county level for a lifetime.

If you are really talented, or if you want to develop in your career, you have to go to Beijing to take the examination and obtain the fame of Jinshi. As long as you win, you will directly be a county with seven products. If you have good grades, you can still be selected to be trained in the Hanlin Academy, and then you will experience one or two decades in the officialdom, if everything goes well, a high-ranking official of the third or fourth grade will not be able to run, and it is not impossible to even enter the cabinet as a minister.

Of course, these times have nothing to do with Sun Yuan.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was timid, he was happy in his heart, and laughed: "This relationship is a little far away, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty." And said so much nonsense, who is confused? People are also foxes, but you are just a toad, gone, my sister may as well go home and look for me if she has free time in the future. You don't have anything else as a brother, but you still have two bowls of brown rice. ”

After speaking, I didn't look back, I picked a mat and strode forward, and I didn't look back.

Gao Quan shouted and scolded angrily from behind: "Wolf cub, what are you talking about, and you are glaring at me with your eyes, I have a relationship in the government, and I am also your brother-in-law!" ”

……

After finding nothing from his sister, Sun Yuan was upset, and returned to the market to stand for an hour, but still not a single mat was sold. Seeing that it was not early, I had to pick a mat and prepare to go home.

He also smiled bitterly in his heart, Liu Bei was also a banquet seller back then, why did people become a prince? If Liu Xuande is allowed to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that there is only one way to starve to death by selling banquets alone.

I didn't eat for a day, and I didn't have a single one in my body.

The weather was hot again, and I poured water into my stomach, and when I walked up, my stomach was full of gurgling water.

As soon as he couldn't walk two steps, he saw his sister walking in a hurry: "Brother, this is for you." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed two cakes into Sun Yuan's hand, the cakes were still hot, obviously not long after they were baked, and then said with a guilty face: "Brother, my sister has no ability, so I can't help you." Also, your brother-in-law is also poor and scared, and he is very concerned about money, so don't blame him. Go back and say to your mother...... Just say, I miss her ......."

Sun Yuan was moved in his heart: "I know, in fact, there is still some money at home, don't worry." This time I came to borrow money, I just found an excuse to see you, and I was so relieved to see my sister. ”

"Brother, rest assured, my sister is doing well." As she spoke, Sun Xiaohua's tears fell.

"Haha, what are you crying about, our sister and brother haven't seen each other for so many years, and we met someone today, which is a happy event. After a few days, after the tax is paid, I will find another opportunity to see you and go! ”

Sun Yuan stuffed the cake into the bad, held his head high, and refused to let the tears flow.

At this time, a high-pitched voice suddenly sounded in my heart: We must make a fortune, no matter what, so that we can protect the people who should be protected.

And if you want to make a career in this world, there is obviously only one way to become an official.

When he first entered Rugao City before, Sun Yuan also thought that if he could live a peaceful life in this place, it would be a kind of happiness.

But the poverty in front of him and the situation of his relatives around him made him uneasy.

What's more, the taxes of the imperial court are about to be levied. If you follow the normal procedure, it is not enough to fill in the income for the whole year. Don't say that in any era, any government will be ruthless to those who dare to evade taxes. Morning glory and untiling are considered light, and if they don't do it well, they will be directly arrested and sent to prison and punished with hard labor.

Moreover, didn't that pretend to be just trying to rely on the violent machine of the state to force me to give him those three acres of paddy fields?

He is also Baozheng, directly managing the taxes of a hundred households under his hands, such a good opportunity, will he let it go?

"Sun Yuan, Sun Yuan, no matter what ambitions you have in the future, this hurdle must be passed at present."

"As for how to get by, you have to think about it. Could it be that I have read so many books and studied military history for so many years, all in vain? ”

After eating two cakes, I also had the strength in my body, and I walked as fast as I could, and at dusk, I finally returned to the village.

Before I entered the village, I saw many people standing at the entrance of the village, talking nonsense.

Seeing Sun Yuan coming back, a group of children immediately ran over and shouted: "Sun Yuan, Sun Yuan, go and see, your mother has been beaten." ”
