After coming out of Fat Yan Zhai, he bought a little gift in the town, Jiang Yun didn't stay long, and he didn't go to the academy, and went straight back to Shahe Village.

When he returned to the village, he didn't enter the house, but directly took the gifts he bought in the town and went to the school in the east of the village.

If it is a village with more than 50 households, there is no school, it will be reprimanded by the government, and the village elders and household heads will also be punished.

Since it is a school, the children in the village do not need to be tied up to become literate, and if they are really poor and can't even afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the school also has a scholarship to provide a small amount of funding for these poor children.

In Shahe Village, there is a school, and Jiang Yun's enlightenment and literacy when he was a child was studied in the village. The teacher of the school is just an old boy, and after growing in knowledge, Jiang Yun was admitted to Qinghe Academy, and did not study in the school anymore.

The purpose of his return to the school this time was to visit the old teacher of the school, and then ask the other party to introduce a talent to his county as a guarantee.

He didn't know any talent, so he thought of asking his own enlightenment teacher to help, although the other party was an old boy, but he had a wide range of friends, and it was not difficult to recognize a few talents in the county and introduce them to him.

Although it is only a village school, it is also built in a regular manner, with green walls and tiles, and a deep courtyard, which is the best building in the village except for the houses of several large families.

When Jiang Yun walked into the gate of the school, he heard the sound of schoolchildren reading from the front hall, and it seemed that the master was still teaching.

He came to the hall porch, looked through the window, and saw more than 30 village schoolchildren sitting in the classroom, reading with the old master, some serious, some absent-minded, looking around, some saw Jiang Yun outside, and grinned and grimaced.

Noticing the strange appearance of the schoolchild, the old master raised his head and also found Jiang Yun outside. If it was someone else, he might ignore it, but Jiang Yun was his student and a big family in the village, so he naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye, and immediately ordered the schoolchildren to read on their own, not to be naughty and lazy, and then got up and walked out.

"I've seen the master!" Seeing the old master come out, Jiang Yun saluted and said hello.

"Pingchuan, how did you have time to come here. The old master asked.

Jiang Yun replied: "The county exam is imminent, and the students have some academic uncertainty, so they have to ask the master for advice, and there are also some miscellaneous matters, so they have to trouble the master." ”

"Okay, let's go to the guest room and sit down. ”

The old master led Jiang Yun to a living room at the back, sat down, Jiang Yun presented the gift he brought, the old master was polite, and finally accepted it and made a cup of tea for the other party.

After sitting down, Jiang Yun asked a few academic questions, and the old master answered them one by one, but he knew that this was not the other party's real intention, if there were any academic questions, the other party could ask the more advanced professors of the academy, why bother to ask him, this old boy.

During the chat, he also mentioned the county examination and asked: "This year is the county examination year, listen to your meaning, do you intend to take the exam this year?"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what the master has to teach." ”

The old master's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't bear it. In his opinion, the other party's academic path has not yet reached the hot time, he is still young, and he is in such a hurry to take the exam, eight out of ten, nine out of ten is a matter of falling to Sun Shan, if he can wait for another two or three years, after his studies have entered the country, he will have a greater grasp of going to the exam.

However, seeing that the other party was full of interest, he didn't want to pour this cold water, and besides, even if he failed the list, he could learn a lesson, and there was nothing bad about it, and besides, the other party was a big family, and there was a lot of this test, so although he didn't have any hope for the other party in this county test, he didn't dissuade him.

Based on his own scientific examination experience, he mentioned some things that need attention to the other party, and finally instructed: "The chief examiner of this county examination is the county magistrate Liu as usual, if you want to stand out in this county examination and the article is appreciated by the county magistrate, then you must have an understanding of the preference and temperament of the county magistrate." ”

"As far as I know, the county magistrate of this county, Lord Liu, is also a late bloomer, and he was able to enter high school after knowing his fate, with a severe and harsh temperament, meticulous, like to follow the rules, steady and down-to-earth style, and don't like those deviant, frivolous and strange words, so you have to remember this. ”

Jiang Yun listened, naturally he was taught one by one, and finally put forward his original intention of coming this time, and said: "This time I signed up for the county test, I intend to ask a showman to be a guarantor, but it doesn't matter, I want to ask the master to introduce me on my behalf." ”

When the old master heard this, he naturally didn't shirk it, and said: "It's simple, I know Yan Xiucai from Sanlihe, and when I repair a book, you can take it and go to him." ”

Jiang Yun said: "Thank you, Master." ”

At that moment, the old master took out his pen and ink, wrote a letter of introduction, and handed it to Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun accepted it, and asked casually, "I don't know how much this premium is?"

The old master said: "According to the custom, just seal two taels of silver." ”

Jiang Yun listened, and secretly said in his heart, when this show is really a lot of benefits, sitting at home, someone will come to the door to deliver silver, and if you don't do anything, the two taels of silver will be in hand.

Of course, when this guarantor, there is also some risk, if the candidate who guarantees cheats in the exam, then the guarantor will also be punished, which is why the old master wants to repair a book, if Jiang Yun is so rash to come to the door, whether people are willing to do this guarantee, there are two words.

Because the other party still had to teach, Jiang Yun finished talking about business, and didn't stay long, so he got up and said goodbye, left the school, and returned home.

When I entered the courtyard, I heard a conversation between Gu Bo and the maid Youlan in the west wing.

"Xiaolan, you tell grandpa the truth, grandpa's feet, isn't it any better?" I only heard Gu Bo in the room questioning Youlan.

After these days of recuperation, Gu Bo's injuries in other parts of his body have almost healed, but his feet are not yet well, and he continues to apply black tiger ointment every day, and he can still only be bedridden.

"Grandpa, don't worry, your feet will be fine. Youlan said softly.

"Don't lie to me, grandpa knows in his heart, these feet, I'm afraid they won't get better. ”

"No, grandpa, Childe said, I will definitely heal your feet. ”

"Xiaolan, tell your grandfather the truth, how much is the plaster you put on my feet every day?" Gu Bo asked again.

"It's just, it's just some dog skin plaster, it's not worth much. Youlan replied in a low voice.

"You're still lying to me! If it's just an ordinary dog skin plaster, put on your feet, how can it have such a cool effect, grandpa is not old and confused!"

"Tell me the truth, how much money are these plasters!"

"Grandpa—"

"Tell me!"

Youlan opened her mouth and was about to say something, when she saw the door being pushed open and a person walked in, wasn't it who her son-in-law Jiang Yun was. "Childe, you're back!" she hurriedly got up to meet her.

Jiang Yun instructed: "You go to the kitchen to cook, I am here." Youlan agreed and went out.

"Gu Bo, are you getting better? Jiang Yun sat down on the edge of the couch and asked.

"Childe, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Jiang family. As soon as Gu Bo opened his mouth, he lamented and blamed himself.

Jiang Yun said: "Uncle Gu, why do you say that, you are not sorry for me, nor are you sorry for the Jiang family, don't think nonsense, just recuperate with peace of mind." ”

"Childe, let me ask you, can you still stand up with these old and decayed feet? Gu Bo asked.

Jiang Yun said: "Of course you can, Dr. Xu said so, as long as you recuperate with peace of mind and apply medicine on time, your feet will definitely get better." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, as for this little medical money for healing, you don't have to worry, if you want to be worthy of me and the Jiang family, you have to get better quickly, so that you can continue to do things for me and the Jiang family, do you understand." Jiang Yun said in a deep voice.

"Childe, you are a good person, in fact, you don't have to be like this......" Gu Bo said with a crying voice.

Jiang Yun patted him on the body and said, "Uncle Gu, you don't have to be like this, in my heart, in fact, I have always regarded Xiaolan as a sister and you as a grandfather, don't think about it too much, just take care of your injuries." ”

Hearing the other party's words that exceeded the master-servant relationship, Gu Bo's eyes were already moist, and he couldn't speak, yes, only by recovering from his injuries can he continue to do things for his son and the Jiang family. Thinking of this, my heart also reinvigorated.

In the evening, Jiang Yun and the maid Youlan sat at the square table in the hall to eat, Youlan had never crossed the rules like this before, and ate at the same table with her master, but under Jiang Yun's repeated requests, she had to rely on the other party.

At the dinner table, Youlan seemed a little absent-minded, Jiang Yun thought that the other party was still worried about Gu Bo's injury, and he didn't care, then he saw Youlan bite her mouth and said to Jiang Yun: "Childe, I heard a news. ”

"Oh, what's the news?" Jiang Yun asked casually.

Youlan said: "I heard that Sister Xiulian made a bet with Zhang Yun, the little daughter-in-law of the Zhong family in the west of the village. ”

"What bet?" Jiang Yun asked.

Youlan said: "It was the last time by the river, Zhang Yun wanted to make a bet with Sister Xiulian, saying that the son would not be able to pass the child's exam, if the son passed the exam, she would be covered with black face, and parade through the village to show the public, if the son did not pass the exam, Sister Xiulian would have to help his family wash the clothes for three months, at that time, Sister Xiulian ignored this stubble, but this morning I heard that Sister Xiulian had agreed to make this bet with that Zhang Yun." ”

"Oh, yes. Jiang Yun was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't say much and continued to bury his head in eating.
