Shanxi Road.

Wushan Mansion.

Dawn County.

Liming County is a small county town in Wushan Province.

The economy here is relatively backward.

The whole Shanxi Road has the title of loess high slope.

In most areas, the economy is relatively backward.

In addition to the capital city, the surrounding state and county towns are not very prosperous.

When Guo Tianyi was still the king of Han, he had such an idea when he pacified Wushan Mansion, so he made a big reputation.

Today's dawn county is high and crisp, and it is not too hot here even if it is a hot summer.

Gujia Village is a small village located outside of Liming County.

"Brother God!"

"Brother God!"

"Are you there?"

A young man in sackcloth rushed into a small courtyard composed of three earthen houses with excitement on his face, and looked at Gu Gandao, who was sitting under the locust tree and eating oily noodles, "So you are at home, what a fragrant oily noodles, bring me a bowl too?" ”

Seeing Gu Qian eating oil and splashing noodles, the young man in Mai swallowed his saliva wildly.

A bite of noodles, a bite of garlic.

Not to mention how fragrant it is.

"Click~" Zhu Peng took a bite while eating oily noodles, and said without raising his head, "Mother, Gu Pingzi is here, you can also give him a bowl of noodles." ”

"Ping'er, you eat this bowl first, and then go to the next bowl."

A woman came out of the stove room and handed it to the young man in Mai with a bowl of oil and noodles.

"Okay."

"Auntie is the best."

Gu Ping smiled, took the oil and poured noodles and said, "Auntie, I want to drink a bowl of noodle soup." ”

"Okay."

"Auntie, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, auntie."

Then, Gu Ping gulped down the oily noodles in the bowl.

At the same time, he did not eat less garlic.

A head of garlic was made up by the brothers in a few strokes.

"You kid save some food."

"My family has planted less garlic this year..."

Gu Qian looked at Gu Ping, who was taking a bite of noodles and garlic, and he didn't have a good airway.

"Haha."

"Brother Qian, if you don't eat garlic when you eat noodles, the taste is half less!"

Gu Ping poured a bowl of oil noodles into his stomach, and drank a bowl of noodle soup comfortably, and a sense of happiness and satisfaction filled his heart.

"Ping'er, didn't you go to the county seat to sell fruits?" The woman who was eating noodles looked at Gu Pingdao, "How is it selling?" ”

Gu Ping and Gu Qian are brothers.

The two of them play together.

In her heart, Gu Ping is just like her godson.

Things like today's door-to-door meals often happen.

"It's good."

"It didn't take long for my pears to sell out."

"There are a lot of people in the morning market today."

Gu Ping burped and said, "Brother Qian, you are going to be promoted and make a fortune, don't forget my brother in the future?" ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

The woman who was eating noodles was stunned.

Gu Qian was also stunned, and patted Gu Ping on the shoulder, "You kid is not sick, right?" What promotion makes a fortune? ”

"Hahaha."

"Brother Qian, last year, the Miss Wang family regretted her marriage, I estimate that her intestines will be repentant after this year..."

Gu Ping didn't answer positively, but continued to speak.

When it came to Miss Wang, Gu Qian's mother and son's faces were very unsightly.

Gu Gan's father left early.

Over the years, mother and son have been dependent on each other.

Gu Qian is more competitive, and usually likes to read books the most.

Because he often went to private schools to do chores when he was a child, he actually learned better than the students in private schools.

In the entire Gujia Village, Gu Qian was the most literate person.

Therefore, he is also famous.

I met the girl outside the county seat by chance during the Lantern Festival.

At the beginning, the two were in love with each other and had a very happy conversation.

But then it came to talk about marriage.

Wang Yuanwai saw that Gu Qian's family was poor, and resolutely disagreed.

It is an exaggeration that even Miss Wang broke off contact with Gu Gan.

This was a big blow to Gu Qian.

Therefore, he is only in his early twenties, but he looks a little decadent.

But this person's literary brilliance should definitely not be underestimated.

Otherwise, how could he win the jackpot at the lantern riddle of the Lantern Festival and win the favor of Miss Wang?

Therefore, this is also a scar in Gu Qian's heart.

"Don't mention her!"

"If you have something to say, you can say it."

"God babbling, be careful that I beat you."

Gu Qian's face sank, and he looked at Gu Ping without a good temperament.

This is what Gu Ping said, and he could still endure it.

If someone else says it, he will inevitably turn his face.

Gu Qian is also a typical student of Neo-Confucianism, and his thinking is different from that of Sour Confucianism.

The so-called gentleman, in his opinion, should be above board, not a gentleman on the surface, but a villain.

If ordinary people in Dafeng want to get ahead and seal their wives and children, there are only two easiest ways.

The first is to enter the official career.

The second is to join the army.

But before entering the office, you have to be filial and honest.

He is just a child of a poor family.

Who to refer?

Within a radius of 100 miles, the only one who can recommend meritocracy is a county master.

Even if he is a county master, he has no way.

If it's in the army, it's much simpler.

But Gu Qian doesn't like to dance knives and guns, and he is not interested in fighting, killing, and killing.

People like him can't get mixed up in the barracks.

Another point is that his father joined the army at the beginning and served as a big soldier under the command of the Marquis of Wushan.

Later, he died in an anti-bandit operation.

And Wushan Hou only gave a little pension.

Therefore, under his mother's repeated requests, Gu Qian was strictly ordered not to join the army in his life.

"Hahaha, I was wrong, I was wrong..."Gu Ping waved his hand and smiled mysteriously, "Brother Qian, today I saw a notice at the door of the county master's mansion..."

Listening to Gu Ping's words, Gu Gan's breathing became short.

"What?"

"Nko?"

"Great, great!!"

"Hahahaha."

"Dad, my son must go to Enko, your old man will watch it from the sky!"

Gu Qian jumped up happily, like a child, looking up to the sky and laughing.

"Brother God."

"I also believe that you can pass the exam with your literary talent."

"Today is a good emperor."

"If it weren't for the Son of Heaven, how could we eat oily noodles every day now?"

Gu Ping looked at his eldest brother, who had been depressed for a long time, happy to be like this, and he was also sincerely happy.

Since breaking up with Miss Wang, Gu Qian has never laughed, and he has always been like a living person who is not allowed to enter.

"yes."

"Our son of heaven is a god."

"If it weren't for the Son of Heaven who allocated us land at the beginning, we would still have to do long-term work for the landlord now."

"Come, Pingzi, let's kowtow to Your Majesty three times to the east."

Gu Gan looked excited, pulled Gu Ping and knelt down in the direction of the Eastern Capital, and knocked his head three times with a "bang".

The idea of loyalty to the monarch and filial piety is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Especially ordinary people like Gu Qian and Gu Ping, their thinking is more traditional.

When the news spread, the whole village was overjoyed.

It would be great if they could get an official in Gujia Village.

All people belong to the family.

If Gu Qian becomes an official, they can also follow suit.

The first round of township examinations will be held in Wushan Province in a month's time.

It was a long way to go, and the whole village donated money to Gu Gan.

The copper coins add up one by one, and there is also a string of coins.

Two days later.

Gu Qian said goodbye to his mother, carried a bag of books on his back, and embarked on the road of scientific research.
