At the entrance of the town, beside the few riverside willow trees, a pile of human heads was already crowded.

In front of the crowd, I saw an ox cart parked, Sun Siwen stood on the ox cart, kept arching his hands to the surrounding townspeople, saying something in his mouth, his face full of pride.

For this first man in the town in twenty years, the townspeople can be described as ecstatic, they all feel honored, and they all want to come and be happy.

Lu Yuan struggled to squeeze through the crowded crowd in front of him and walked forward, only then did he hear clearly.

"Fathers, I am fortunate to have the blessing of my ancestors and your support, so that I can be promoted in the examination this time. ...... in the future"

Sun Siwen was cheering and talking happily.

In the past, even if he was admitted to Xiucai and his status increased greatly, it would be impossible for so many people in the town to listen to him.

But now, once in the middle of the move, suddenly the world is very different.

It must be known that when you reach the position of lifting people, if you don't want to continue the scientific examination, then you can apply to the imperial court and be granted an official position.

Although the ones who can be awarded are all petty officials, and they can't start directly from the county lieutenants, but they are also officials.

Even if he is a nine-grade sesame official, he is not much stronger than the white body, and he is already the existence of two different classes.

Maybe it's because I don't have a lot of experience.

Sun Siwen's speech this time was a great deal of knowledge, quoting scriptures and classics everywhere, and the ordinary people who had no culture could not understand it at all.

But even so, every time he finished speaking, the people around him followed suit, "Raise the master to say a few more words" and "Say it well." "Wait.

This was a big deal, Sun Siwen directly climaxed in his skull, and the chatter was like a flood that broke the embankment, out of control.

As soon as I talked about it, more than an hour had passed.

It wasn't until he said that his mouth was dry, and the townspeople around him were also tired, that this lecture slowly came to an end.

At this time, Lu Yuan had already gone to the tavern in the town, sold cooked food and wine from the store, put it home, and came again.

Seeing that the crowd around him was gradually thinning, he greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Lu!"

Sun Siwen had recovered from the excitement at this time, and when he saw the arrival of his friend whom he hadn't seen for several months, he immediately jumped out of the ox cart and ran up quickly.

"Brother Sun."

Lu Yuan hugged him and smiled happily: "Sure enough, as I said before, Brother Sun's scientific expedition is flying thousands of miles and is on the list." In just two months, my brother has already flown into the sky and become an official. ”

was mentioned by a friend that he was lifted, Sun Siwen felt very happy in his heart, and laughed and said: "Brother Lu is also indispensable to being able to pass the exam this time." Without your help, I would never have been able to achieve anything, even if I had a thousand talents. ”

This is to thank Lu Yuan for funding the examination fee.

At the same time, Sun Shusheng is also hinting that he will never forget the grace of helping each other, let alone alienate friendship because of the change of identity.

Lu Yuan heard the meaning of the other party's words, and his heart became happier and happier.

There are many people in this world who abandon their wives and children after they are developed, and they are ungrateful.

Sun Siwen's ability to do this already shows his temperament.

It's really nice to have such a friend.

However, he didn't say much, just waved his hand and said, "The family has prepared a banquet and is waiting for Brother Sun for a while." Can the old man appreciate his face? ”

Hearing Lu Yuan mention the small meeting between the two, Sun Siwen couldn't help but feel restless, and couldn't hold it back at the moment, so he pulled his sleeve and walked to the alley: "In these days in the county town, although I have also participated in many meetings, most of them are wine and meat meetings, and I don't have any friends.

It's just a social gathering.

After two months of separation, I have long been thinking about wine tasting with Brother Lu. Sure enough, my brother still knows me. ”

Between the words, the posture of the two is no different from the past.

……

Lu Yuan's home.

On the stone table in the courtyard, most of the small dishes have been eaten, and the jar of fine wine is also faintly visible.

The two friends who reunited after a long absence, staggered and drunk, seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

Lu Yuan said something about his recent situation, and then he didn't say much, mainly listening to Sun Siwen.

This newcomer talked about what he had seen and heard all the way on the way to the exam, the geography of the mountains and rivers of Yuzhang County, his experience in the county, the anxiety and nervousness of his scientific examination, some of his new friends, and how wonderful and vast the outside world was.

After talking for a long time, Sun Siwen drank a glass of wine, and then suddenly said: "Brother Lu, after I was promoted, I have already asked the county guard to be released, hoping to release the official. Now that the name has been reported, I just need to wait for a vacancy to take office. ”

Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Brother Sun doesn't continue the scientific examination?" ”

Although you can be an official by lifting people, the starting point of being an official is a sesame petty official from the ninth grade, and the apex of the career in the future is also limited, and it would be good to have four or five grades.

But in the entrance examination, as a jinshi, the starting point is the eight-rank official. In the future, the career will be smooth, whether it is to be a feudal official and benefit one party. Or enter the court and rule the world. There's a lot to be done.

So don't look at the difference between lifting people and Jinshi, but whether it is benefits or prospects, they are all very different.

Lu Yuan knows all the things, how can he, a current person, not know?

But in this regard, Sun Siwen just smiled bitterly: "I don't take the test." ”

Lu Yuan looked at him, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

Sun Siwen sighed: "Brother Lu still remember what I told you before, the whispering in the dream?" ”

When Lu Yuan heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he nodded: "Remember, Brother Sun said at the time that in his dream, there has always been a voice urging you to go to the scientific examination. ”

Sun Siwen said helplessly: "Yes, it was that voice that was urging me to go to the scientific examination." Don't hide it from Brother Lu, in fact, since a month ago, after I was admitted to the exam, the voice in my dream suddenly disappeared.

And when the sound was gone, I felt empty, like I had lost something.

The original feeling of being invincible has also disappeared.

At this time, I was asked to take the autumn exam, to be honest, even if I had already taken the exam, of course, I did it again, and I was not sure that I could pass it.

In the previous exam, I wrote like a god and did not lag behind. Whenever there is a problem, just think about it in your heart, and the answer will immediately pop up.

If you think about it, it's actually more like someone borrowing my eyes, reading the test, doing it, and then announcing the answer in my mind.

It's just that at that time, I was so focused on the exam questions that I didn't think about it that much, I just thought I made it myself.

Perhaps, it is not me who is cited this time, but the voice in my heart, or the person in my body.

Now, the man is gone. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Siwen's face was full of loneliness, and there were complex emotions in his eyes, teaching people not how to interpret it.
