Fu Yong placed the bamboo basket behind a tree, and there was a small flat area surrounded by several trees, which was better enough for them to put their things.

Fu Yong asked Guan Er to sneak two people to the front to take a look, "See if there are any pavilions and people?" ”

Guan Er should get down, climb up the mountain with two good friends, turn over halfway up the mountainside, look down, and run back excitedly after a while: "Brother Fu, I didn't see the pavilion, but I saw a tea house, where many people drank tea and ate." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone's stomachs gurgled, and one sniffed and said, "No wonder I always feel that I smell the smell of wheat, they must be making steamed buns." ”

Fu Yong thought for a while, and called Dong Shu, the oldest and most stable among them, "Brother Dong, you take Fu Hong and Guan Er to inquire about the news, and I will take them to wait here." ”

When Dong Shu heard this, he was a little nervous, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I can't, I'll stay here and watch them, you can take Fu Hong and Guan Er there." ”

Fu Yong lowered his eyes and thought about it, he did have a lot of things he wanted to inquire, so he got up, "Okay, I'll go, two more people will go up the mountain and stare at us, if something happens, I will find a way to give you a gesture, and you will leave immediately and go back to the mountain directly." ”

When the young men heard the commotion, they asked, "Don't you buy the farm tools?" ”

Fu Yong: "If we receive a gesture, it means that we can't buy farm tools, and we will die, so it's important to save our lives at this time." ”

Before leaving the mountain, the old people repeatedly told them to listen to Fu Yong after they came out, so the young people glanced at each other, even if they were unwilling, they still nodded and agreed.

Fu Yong took the four of them over the mountain, leaving two halfway up the mountain, and took Fu Hong and Guan Er down.

When I went down to the bottom of the mountain, I saw a pavilion obscured by trees.

The pavilion is a bit old, there is no one in it, but there are many people sitting in a tea house propped up on a grassy field across the road, and there are ox carts and mule carts parked on the side of the road.

Fu Yong left all the money bags in the team just now, and only brought a string of copper coins with him.

He led the two of them into the tea house, glanced at it and walked to a table, clenched his fists and asked, "Brother Tai, can we share a seat?" ”

There were two people sitting at this table, and at first glance they were together, they had wide sleeves, and they wore cloth shoes on hot days, and they looked like people with family backgrounds.

The sitting guest officer looked up at Fu Yong and saw that he was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt, with patches at the elbows, and straw sandals on his feet, but his temperament was gentle, not like an ordinary peasant.

In this era, even the emperor's relatives and relatives may become beggars, so the guests did not look down on Fu Yong, and when they saw him polite, they nodded and agreed.

Fu Yong glanced at Fu Hong and Guan Er, and sat down on a bench.

Fu Hong and Guan Er looked at the two guests, and sat on a bench like them, and the five of them sat at a full table.

Fu Yong ordered three steamed buns, three cakes and three bowls of tea, waiting to eat.

When the tea came up, Fu Yong asked the two of them with a smile, "Brother Tai is going to enter the city, or is he just going out of the city?" ”

"At this hour, I naturally want to enter the city."

Fu Yong glanced up at the sun and said with a smile: "It's because I'm so busy that I don't realize that it's late." ”

The two guests agreed, and in turn asked him, "Are you cutting wheat?" ”

Fu Yong replied vaguely, they don't plant spring wheat in the mountains, they all plant winter wheat, and the wheat is all harvested as early as April, and they start planting rice after harvesting.

This piece is the Fenshui area, it is said that winter wheat is also planted, and the wheat is only harvested at this time, it seems that there was an accident last year, so it was changed to spring wheat at the beginning of spring.

I don't know if this accident is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

Fu Yong: "I think the two of them are scholars, is this trip for study?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled: "We got the documents for the state exam and are going to Luoyang to take the recruitment exam." ”

Fu Yong's eyes widened when he heard this, and his heart beat violently, he knew that the recruitment examination was an examination held in Yuzhou for the selection of talents, and it was a sensation in the world at that time.

The recruitment test is in Luoyang, that's ...... Zhao Hanzhang occupied Luoyang, or did the Xiongnu borrow her method?

But he couldn't ask directly, he could only itch his heart, and just as he was about to ask on the side, the man brought their steamed buns and cakes, and the two guests turned their heads and talked by themselves.

Fu Yong could only suppress his excitement and wait for the opportunity to ask questions again, and the result was ......

"Alas, I heard that there are a lot of people who go to Luoyang to take the exam this year, and we don't know if we can pass the exam.

"General Zhao set up two mailboxes at the gate of the imperial city, one slanderous wood, one lung stone, that slanderous wood is to listen to the advice of the world, everyone in the world can talk about the government, the hermits living in the mountains, as long as they have opinions on the government, can slander the wooden box, so wide open to the road, how many hermits can you say?"

When my partner heard this, he couldn't help sighing, "The country should be happy when it is thriving, but when I think of so many talented people rushing out at this time, my future is bleak, so I can't be happy again. ”

The other person was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "If you can't deserve the county order, can't you even be a county magistrate?" ”

"If it is decided today, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and we can pass the state test, I don't believe that General Zhao will not need us," he said in high spirits: "We should be grateful to General Zhao, if there is no talent recruitment examination for her, it is really difficult for you and me to be like this." ”

Fu Yong suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked with bright eyes: "I look at the two brothers who are elegant and elegant, they should be scholars, how can they have such feelings?" ”

The man smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's a scholar, but the family only has a few acres of thin fields, and it's just a fluke to survive in this troubled world. ”

What he didn't say was that his grandfather was a servant in the county government, accumulated some money, and bought a few books by luck.

Such a family background, let alone him, may not be able to enter the banquet for three generations.

And now, these are not important, as long as they have knowledge and ability, they can go to the recruitment examination, the national examination can not be admitted to the state examination, the state examination can not be admitted to the county examination, and there will always be a day to emerge.

And in addition to the literary examination, they can also take the martial arts examination.

However, I heard that the martial arts examination is also very difficult, not only to test martial arts and cavalry, but also to test the art of war and arithmetic, and even heard that there will be a few medical skills on the paper, which is not easier than the literary examination at all.

"And the time of the literary examination and the martial arts examination of the recruitment examination are staggered, I will go to the literary examination first, if not, I will take the martial arts examination."

His good friend smiled and asked, "What if the martial arts exam is not enough?" ”

"Then I'll go to Taixue, Taixue will take the exam in the first month of next year, my best skill in this state exam is arithmetic, and I will find a way to worship under Fu Shangshu when I enter Taixue, if I can be his apprentice, can't I also go straight to the top?"

His good friend couldn't help but say, "Treacherous, but I wish you all the best of luck, and don't forget me when he is successful." ”

"No, no, I won't forget."

Fu Yong hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask who Fu Shangshu is?" Isn't it the Northland Fu? Isn't he a Chinese book? ”

"Brother, how long has it been since you went into the city to read the notice? Fu Shangshu is naturally Fu Changrong, and Fu Zhongshu is his grandfather, but he died not long ago, and General Zhao and Fu Shangshu personally went to Yongzhou to help Ling return to Beijing. ”

Good night
