The sky was glowing red, and the sky was bright.

By this time the sun had slowly risen, and the quiet village had begun to become noisy, with more and more people busy.

Squire Zhang sent someone early in the morning to urge Fan Jin to move into the house in the city as soon as possible, so that he could be sent to him.

Fan Jin also agreed, but had his own thoughts in his heart.

For a long time, the hidden worries about Fan's mother's difficulty in accepting long-term poverty and wealth have never been put down.

In the history of Confucianism, isn't this what Mother Fan is?

Whoever has been bitter all his life has already despaired, but he didn't expect another village.

With such a splash of wealth and wealth, it is not impossible for Fan's mother to pass away suddenly under the great joy and sorrow.

Therefore, Fan Jincai deliberately delayed in the past few days, the purpose of which was naturally to give his family time and adapt to the new life.

In the original book, Fan Jin was forced to keep filial piety for three years because Fan's mother died suddenly.

Three years of filial piety has certainly created a good reputation for Fan Jin as 'filial piety', but it is also a fact that in the three years of real work, it slipped away like a white horse.

According to what Zhou Xuedao said, with the popularity of his articles, taking the Jinshi exam is completely a matter of course.

He certainly didn't want to miss it.

Walking out of the house, many villagers greeted him warmly, and even a slight nod from Fan Jin was enough to make them happy.

This kind of treatment was something Fan Jin had never received before the middle move, and that respect almost overflowed from their expressions.

However, Fan Jin could still clearly feel that there seemed to be a mood called melancholy, enveloping the entire village.

Obviously, a few days ago, he was still happy, but a few days later, he turned into a sad face.

Fan Jin saw many old crop workers standing on the ridges, looking at the fields and sighing, and even some villagers kneeling on the ridges, complaining about the strange weather this year.

"Drought?"

These two words flashed through Fan Jin's mind.

The last time it rained, it was more than a month ago.

Unlike the original owner, who was not diligent in his four bodies, did not distinguish between grains and grains, and read the books of sages with one mind, Fan Jin had studied astronomy and geography, and even if he was a scholar, he knew that in a short period of time, the climate would not change much.

In other words, rain is unlikely to fall anytime soon, and the drought is expected to continue for a long time.

Most of the crops in the fields will have their yields reduced or even directly lost.

Grain is the lifeblood of farmers, and if it doesn't rain for a long time, even the most optimistic people can't sit still.

Fan Jin listened for a while, and before he could think about it, someone came to him, saying that there was a visitor to the house.

Fan Jin had to suppress the thoughts in his heart.

......

Ringing noon.

The sun radiates dazzling light and heat, scorching the earth mercilessly.

A luxurious carriage drove all the way into Baimiao Village, and finally stopped at the door of Fan Jin's house.

Immediately, a middle-aged man stepped out of the car.

This person is wearing a square scarf and a green shirt, although he is not young, he is still the image of a beautiful son.

"Hahaha, Brother Fan, I'll just say that you must be successful today!" Wei Haogu shook his fan, and when he came up, he gave Fan Jin a bear hug.

"Ahem, Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor!" Fan Jin pretended to be unlucky.

However, although he was disgusted, his movements were not slow, and he immediately instructed the Hun family to boil water and make tea.

Wei Haogu and Fan Jin are close friends, so they naturally don't care about Fan Jin's words, but sigh with emotion: "Brother Fan, you can be regarded as having survived!" ”

Fan Jin was silent.

No one knows better than him how much he has suffered and how many sins he has suffered.

"Brother Wei's gift of silver before, it is unforgettable!" Fan Jin arched his hand and said solemnly.

Before the township test, Fan Jin was the first to think of borrowing a plate from Daddy Hu, but not only did he not borrow it, but he was also scolded.

In the end, Wei Haogu learned of this and privately sent a servant to send twenty taels of silver.

It can be said that if the biggest nobleman in Fan Jin's life is Zhou Xuedao, then Wei Haogu is definitely the first nobleman in Fan Jin's life.

Without Wei Haogu's righteousness and squandering money, Fan Jin would not have been able to get together for the township test at all, let alone improve the seventh in the township test in Guangdong!

"Brother Fan is too worried!"

"You and I are gentlemen's friends, and they have known each other for many years, what are some yellow and white things?"

Wei Haogu waved his hand indifferently, and immediately ordered someone to present the prepared generous gifts.

Compared with Fan Jin's unsociability before the middle move, and his single-minded reading of dead books, Wei Haogu is a well-known 'courtesan', generous and straightforward, both in terms of fame and talent, far above Fan Jin.

The corners of Fan Jin's mouth twitched, just looking at the external image, Wei Haogu is definitely extraordinary, at least it is good when he doesn't pretend to compare.

As long as he doesn't open his mouth, he is definitely a quiet beautiful man, but it's a pity that he has a mouth.

Of course, Wei Haogu also participated in this township test.

Not only the township test, but also the previous children's test, Wei Haogu also participated.

Speaking of which, Fan Jin and Wei Haogu are both talents in the Zhou Xuedao point, but Fan Jin was seventh in Guangdong in one fell swoop, and Wei Haogu directly fell to Sun Shan, and he took the rank of more than 500.

It is said that Wei Haogu's talent and learning should not be like this, but who told him to hate the examiner?

This is a typical slap on the horse's leg.

As early as when he was taking the boy's exam, Wei Haogu took it upon himself to ask Zhou Xuedao for an 'interview', intending to go through the back door in a roundabout way.

Zhou Xuedao was puzzled, "Your text is already here, what are you interviewing for?" ”

Wei Haogu was eager to try, "Children's poetry and songs will be given, and the old man will ask questions for interviews." ”

Wei Haogu thought it was an opportunity to show his face, but he didn't expect that Zhou Xuedao's face immediately changed when he heard this.

blurted out the words that have been passed down through the ages: "When today's article is heavy, why do you need to talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

Like you, a child should only work hard, those miscellaneous studies, learn what he does!

......”

Immediately, Zhou Xuedao ordered someone to fork Wei Haogu out.

I have to say that Fan Jin can win the favor of Zhou Xuedao, and the hand-picked head of the case definitely has a lot to do with the same temperament.

Otherwise, people like Wei Haogu, who love Fengyue and love poetry and songs, will only be considered by Zhou Xuedao as 'not pragmatic'.

According to the general logic of development, the merry and talented man angered the imperial court officials, not to mention being insulated from the imperial examination, and the future will inevitably be bumpy.

It's just that fortunately, although Zhou Xuedao is an old pedant, he is a fair and just examiner in the end, and he did not bring personal grievances into the great cause of the imperial examination.

The reason why Wei Haogu was able to win the show in a low way was that after Zhou Xuedao read Wei Haogu's volume, he felt that the text was still fresh and refined, so he gave a very low noun, and recorded him, which can be regarded as giving a show of fame.

As for lifting people? You don't have to!
