Guo Sheng wanted to laugh and quickly endured it, coughing several times before he spoke, "That, this trip was wrong, it's not unlucky...... Let's not talk about this for now, you really think too much about these few words, and in the next subject, I think you will definitely be able to go to high school. ”

"That's what fortune tellers all say." Xu Huan smiled and answered.

Guo Sheng couldn't help but laugh again, "I'm not comforting you, we've been in the past two months, and I can see your talent, you are an open-minded and blessed person, your luck will not be bad, whether you can get into the Jinshi in the next subject, I don't dare to say more, there are always five or five...... Okay, okay, even if it's ninety-one...... Okay, well, in case of a number, then you have to take precautions, otherwise when the time comes, it will be difficult to pass the exam, but it will be planted on the incomprehensible things, isn't it a loss? ”

Xu Huan couldn't stop laughing at what Guo Sheng said, "It's obviously cheap...... I understand what Mr. means, after a few years of following Mr., it is not good, and I can still be a master, which is much stronger than my original plan to be a teacher. ”

"You two uncles, this is not in the world, but it is really a family!" Guo Sheng was angry and laughed, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, "When I talk to your brother-in-law, I have to explain everything thoroughly, and when I talk to you, I still have to explain everything thoroughly!" ”

Xu Huan glared at Guo Sheng, "You mean the fifth brother?" ”

"You're so much smarter than your brother-in-law!" Guo Sheng lit Xu Huan with an empty cup and hurriedly praised him.

Xu Huan leaned at Guo Sheng, for a long time, and sighed, "This trip to Chunqiu, I was going to go directly to Beijing, it was my wife who said, I happened to pass by Gaoyou, and it was not good to pass through the door, and my wife also said that when I was first succeeded, I wrote letters to the capital and Taiyuan Mansion, all of which said that my sister did not have a brother, and what happened in the future, there was no one who could even speak forward, so I had to pass the pass, but I didn't enter the door, which was a slap in her face." ”

"That's right!" Guo Sheng nodded repeatedly.

"But my wife's plan, I know it clearly in my heart, my wife often says that there are people in the court who are good officials, and she wants me to go this way to see if I can climb someone in the court, in case! Isn't it? ”

Guo Sheng laughed, "Your wife understands it." ”

"I think that after all these years, I haven't even had any contacts, but now that I see that people have become officials, my brother has a future, so I rushed here, this face is ......" Xu Huan scratched his face, "My wife said that my face is not worth much." ”

Guo Sheng burst out laughing, "That's the ...... Also, Lao Xu, let me just say, in the past years, you just wanted to come and go, with that old lady Zhong here, can you come and go? Not to mention with you, even with the capital Bofu, haven't you broken off contact for more than ten years? Your sister and brother-in-law are at least not confused about this. Your brother-in-law said that he didn't know how many times, and it was his fault that he had cut off contact with his relatives. This one, you think too much. ”

"Even if you think about this too much, the fifth brother is such an old child, and he is alone in the Bofu, it is not easy, my uncle can't help him, forget it, and still think about his blessing, this is unreasonable."

"You are stronger than your brother-in-law, and you are only as strong as you are." Guo Sheng snorted.

"Well, he has nine out of ten tricks, and I have eight tricks." Xu Huan threw a peanut into his mouth.

"You're half-aware." Guo Sheng said unceremoniously, and then said: "You are also a common problem of people who have no family and no clan, you are like this, you can be regarded as having no family and no clan." ”

Xu Huan nodded.

"The fifth master went to Jiangning Mansion for the first time, and Li Caosi saw that this nephew was a talent, so he sent seven or eight capable stewards to accompany him, and first went to Hengshan County to wait for the fifth master, at that time, the Zhong family was still there, and your brother-in-law looked at his eldest brother, and he still had a horizontal nose and vertical eyes."

Xu Huan's hand peeling peanuts stopped, and looked at Guo Sheng thoughtfully, Guo Sheng met his gaze and smiled, "I'm wrong about you, you almost know the five tricks." I see? This is a matter of both prosperity and loss. In a family, among relatives and in-laws, the more talents this person has, the better, with the same breath and support each other, it will be easy for everyone, there is only one single tree, even if it is supported, it is extremely difficult. ”

Xu Huan smiled and slowly hummed.

"Yongning Bofu, look at it at this time, there is also the fifth brother who has a future, fortunately, now that he is married to the Tang family, if your uncle can stand up again, the fifth brother is at least not a single tree, the sixth brother is simple-hearted, too elegant, fortunately, he is very talented in reading, and then he enters the Hanlin Academy, and he can be a waiter or something, he can do half a support, and the Li family still has a few girls to be in the boudoir, and now there is a fifth brother, if you take the next subject and then take the Jinshi, a few girls, you can probably climb to a good relative."

Guo Sheng said while looking at Xu Huan, Xu Huan looked at the red fire, for a moment, looked up at Guo Sheng, and laughed, "I understand, thank you Mr. for your advice, talk to you, and read for ten years." ”

"Don't keep thinking about the past when you didn't have any contacts, how to do it, there was a last resort in the past, just like I often advise your brother-in-law, it's all over the past, you really have this heart, and in the future, there are opportunities."

Xu Huan peeled four or five peanuts and ate them, clapped his hands, and his tone was very relaxed, "Then I'll write a letter to Mingzhou, and then ask the wife what she means, Brother Guo doesn't know, my wife, although she is a woman...... The wife said: This man dislikes a woman's family, most of them are inferior to other women's people's families, and he has to support his face, so he has to force a sentence: Women's family! ”

Guo Sheng laughed and patted Xu Huan's shoulder, "Your wife's words have something to do with me." ”

Early the next morning, Xu Huan wrote a letter and sent it back to Mingzhou, so he temporarily lived in Gaoyou County, and took Brother Lan's brother Li Xia out every other day, and Guo Sheng became Guo Sheng and Xu Huan alone.

……………………

In the blink of an eye, in late March, Guo Sheng and Xu Huan discussed that this is the time when the river is fresh and plump, so it is better to go to Pingjin Wharf, take a look at Caoyun, enjoy the white sails of the river, blow the spring river breeze, and eat a full meal of river fresh.

Xu Huan nodded again and again, unable to agree anymore.

Pingjin Wharf is not too far from the county government, a group of people walked as a car, slowly walked all the way, circled around the wharf for most of the circle, found a restaurant with a wide field of vision, asked for a private room on the second floor facing the river, ordered six or seven kinds of river fresh such as green shrimp, fried snails, white water fish, etc., sat idly, ate, and watched the river come and go, busy and dense boats.

Gaoyou's reputation as the capital of vehicles and ships is not in vain.

Li Xia and Li Wenlan were both sitting by the window, Li Xia was facing the direction of the downstream of the river, facing half of the white water fish, lowering his head, carefully peeling the fish bones, and eating the fish little by little.
