"Hurry up! What's the matter, the big white steamed bun was eaten for nothing? It's all the same as if they were just squeezed dry by the? On the avenue north of the capital, Guo Youtian shouted angrily to the long line behind him, at this time he was no longer the shabby dress he was three years ago, wrapped in thick clothes, and a fox fur scarf around his neck, which looked even more generous than Liu Dahu in Niujia Village before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Captain Guo...... Oh no, Chief Guo. Hey, look at my virtue, it's always wrong, you don't remember the villain, but don't be surprised! Wang Erniu slapped himself, he is also a lot stronger now, although the clothes on his body are not as good as Guo Youtian, but they are also decent, "Thanks to me signing up for the food delivery team this time, otherwise I really don't know when I will be able to meet Team Guo... The pavilion is long! When you get back, you must go to our house and sit down! ”

"Well, if it goes well, I'll go to your village and have a good drink." It turned out that this team was to transport grain to the capital for Hedong Road, and the people who transported the grain were selected from the villages, which was also regarded as serving the imperial court, but the imperial court would also reduce their taxes, and it was cost-effective, not to mention that there was a chance to enjoy the scenery of the capital, so this errand has always been very popular among the villagers, and only a man with a strong physique can be selected, and Guo Youtian has performed well in the past three years, so he was promoted from the village chief to the pavilion chief, and served as a small leader in the grain transportation team.

When it was time to rest, Guo Youtian stared at them to put the grain cart in the backyard according to the prescribed method, and then he could take care of the food, after the meal, he took out a letter from his arms that had been sharpened, and opened it carefully, he also knew some words in the past few years, but he could barely guess the content of the letter.

"Pavilion Chief Guo, have you read the letter again? Didn't you write it by that little lady? If you get married at that time, don't forget to ask me to drink wedding wine! "The life in Hedong Province is better than that in Shannan Dongdao, but the only regret is that there are more men and fewer women, and it is too difficult to get married, so although Guo Youtian has earned a lot of family business now, he has not married.

Of course, the imperial court did not fail to take these into account, so it thought of various ways to solve this problem, such as buying women from Donghai Daoyi, and selling captured women from Mobei and Hedong to them; However, the letter that Guo Youtian is reading now is not written by a woman, he carefully put the letter away, and then said proudly, "This is written by my little brother who was in the same village with me back then, he is now rushing to the capital to prepare for the imperial examination, and he said that he would meet in the capital, but he didn't expect it to be so fast!" ”

It turned out that this letter was written by a young man surnamed Yang named Yang Gaizhi, since Guo Youtian came to Hedong Road immediately sent a letter to him, since then the two have exchanged letters from time to time, Guo Youtian witnessed Yang Gaizhi from a poor student who relied on a scholarship to support himself was recommended to the intermediate school in Fucheng without examination, and then successfully passed the intermediate school with this examination, and finally graduated successfully and obtained the qualification to participate in the imperial examination.

"My little brother is a great man." Guo Youtian had a proud look on his face, and he was even more proud of Yang Gaizhi's affairs than his own affairs, he gave a thumbs up and said, "In terms of my little brother's grades, even if he is admitted to the Beijing Normal University Hall or Jiazhou University Hall, there is no problem, but he is reluctant to let his mother live in poverty, so he did not go to the university hall but participated in the imperial examination. ”

Jiazhou University Hall was run early, Jingshi University Hall occupies a favorable location, these two university halls are like the best schools today, all of them can be admitted to the temporary handsome Yan, Yang Gaizhi gave up the opportunity to be admitted to these two university halls, which really made the head of the school, the sacrificial wine and the local officials in charge of education very depressed.

"It's amazing! I remember that someone in our county was admitted to Jiazhou University Hall last year, but he held a flowing water seat for three days in a row, and he also took a saffron horse to cross the street, and many big families came to him to get married. Wang Erniu didn't expect that Guo Youtian would have such a powerful little brother, "When the time comes, when I get to the capital, Guo Tingchang will take me to take a look from afar, and I will be extravagant." "He didn't even dare to say anything about meeting.

A few days later, the grain team successfully arrived in the capital, and after going to the yamen to hand over the errand, Guo Youtian couldn't wait to ask his superiors for leave, and came to the inn that Yang Gaizhi told him in the letter to look for this little brother who had not seen him for many years.

I haven't seen each other for three years, and both of them have made a career, and they really have endless words, so Yang Gaizhi took Guo Youtian to a nearby restaurant, found a window position, and told their experiences in the past three years while enjoying the prosperity of the capital.

"My life is no different from when Brother Guo didn't leave, I studied in the school all day, but I took my mother to the city, and I could barely support my mother and son with a scholarship." Saying that, Yang Gaizhi got up and arched his hand, "Thanks to the money sent by Brother Guo, my mother and son can live more comfortably." ”

"You and my brother, why do you need to say these words, anyway, I am also one person in Hedong Province who eats and the whole family is not hungry, even if Liu gets this money into my hands, I will buy wine and drink, it is better to honor my aunt." Guo Youtian has been hunting and cultivating land in Hedong Province for many years, because he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he also concentrates on studying the knowledge taught by the government, so he has earned a lot of family business, "When Brother Yang is admitted to the imperial examination, I will also have a glorious face when I talk to people." ”

"If Brother Guo wants to be glorious, why don't you take the official exam yourself? According to the careers that Brother Guo has done in Hedong Province, he should be able to obtain a qualification to take the exam. Yang Gaizhi said with a smile, Guo Youtian is now a member of the imperial court, according to the rules of the new dynasty, officials have the opportunity to participate in the preparation for their promotion examination after a few years of qualified work, this kind of examination is not difficult, only test some basic literacy, arithmetic, law and other knowledge, as long as you can recognize the words and prepare for a period of time, there is a good chance of passing.

"Well, I'm going to prepare for the exam when I get back." Guo Youtian sighed, "I didn't expect that the tenant who didn't have two mouthfuls of food three years ago would have the opportunity to become an official!" ”

The two of them were quite emotional, silently raised their wine glasses and drank them all, and this scene also aroused the curiosity of the guests at the table next to them, so he sent out an invitation, "I am quite interested in what the two of you said, I wonder if you can come over and talk about it?" ”
