Han Shu returned home, pushed open the door and saw that A-Niang had already cooked a meal, A-Niang always got up so early, and didn't see when she got up and when she went to sleep. Han Shu picked up the yellow bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it repeatedly, only to hear Ah Niang ask: Your father is gone, are you going to see him off? After thinking about it, I helped A-Niang clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said intentionally or unintentionally: I will leave Liangzhou after the autumn, I think I can be admitted to the college in Zizhou, I originally thought that Fengzhou would be fine, and now I feel that there is still some time, work hard, Zizhou should also be possible. I didn't see any expression from A-Niang, but she turned around and took out a cloth bag, handed it to Han Shu, and said softly: This is some copper money, you take it, you need money to go over there. After saying that, he left.

Han Shu stood in place with the cloth bag in his hand, looked at A-Niang, and some of the words he wanted to say stopped at his mouth and swallowed in his stomach.

In the first year of the fifth calendar of the Emperor of the People, the autumn has passed, the college examination in Liangzhou has ended, and he was admitted to the college in Zizhou and was able to go to the feet of the Emperor. I thought about going home and telling my mother that I would leave for a few days, but then I felt that I had forgotten it, and I would go to Zizhou early, maybe I could find a job to do and earn some extra copper money. So he wrote a letter to Ah Niang, and regardless of whether Ah Niang knew these words or not, he asked the people from the same village to bring them back.

The continent where Hanshu is located is called Zilan Continent, which is divided into Zizhou, Fengzhou, Cangzhou and Liangzhou. Zizhou is the richest city under the feet of the emperor, Fengzhou and Cangzhou are mostly minerals, but they are only concentrated in iron, copper and the like. Liangzhou is a poor land without mines, fortunately the land is still fertile, the people of Liangzhou rely on the bowl of rice given by God, it can barely live, and it is the greatest hope of the people on this land to produce more food every year.

By now, it is the fifth generation of the emperor, and the emperor attaches equal importance to cultural relics, so that there will be an edict for students to study for free, and it is also encouraged to study to join the army, and the cultural relics complement each other. In recent years, the national style of learning has been strong, and military generals have emerged in an endless stream, and the originally unknown teenager will become a military general with a halberd tomorrow, or a scholar full of wealth.

But there are also old people who are curious, now that the border is peaceful, the attitude of the emperor is to expand the force in a big way, although there are more and more scholars, but more of them seem to be generals who can strategize, not reckless men with empty force, let alone poor and sour literati who can only talk about reason. I can't think about it, more people don't dare to think about it, it's just that some old people secretly dare to whisper a few words after getting drunk, even if they drink more, they don't mention it, today's emperor governs the country well, but he can also punish those who dare to talk about national politics, a few years ago, Dr. Wen didn't know what he said, provoked the anger of the emperor, and didn't let the soldiers pull the soldiers to the school to ask for beheading, the emperor directly shot at the hall to kill Dr. Wen, the blood flowed, and I heard that it had been flowing out of the door of the hall, shocking. All the officials in the court fell to the ground and trembled. Afterwards, no one dared to talk about it, and they didn't dare to speculate in their hearts.

Han Shu asked his fellow villagers to bring a letter to A-Niang, and then got up and left Liangzhou. Just walked out of a few steps in my heart in trouble, how to go, I don't know the road, my God, I heard that it is far away, I don't know the road by two legs, when will I get to Zizhou. Thinking about it, he got up and went back to the school, and saw Mr. Teaching, Mr. Teaching's surname is Wang, Mingfu, who is sitting in the room at the moment and doesn't know what to count, smiling, and biting with his teeth from time to time. After a few glances, Han Shu understood in his heart that this was the filial piety of other students to Mr. Wang, some of the students who were admitted to Fengzhou or Zizhou sent it to Mr. Xie at home, and some who had just entered the hall and wanted Mr. to discipline their children well.

Han Shu knocked lightly on the door, Mr. Wang heard the knock, and hurriedly put away the things on the table, and when he saw that the person who came was Han Shu, he put down his heart and continued to count, snorting in his mouth, um. Han Shu heard the echo, walked in, respectfully made a student salute, and asked: Mr. Wang, the student wants to ask where Zizhou is and how to go. Mr. Wang suddenly sneered: Han Shu, I was admitted to Zizhou, not bad. It's not in vain to have cultivated you for so many years, and if you have any future in the future, you can't forget Mr. and me.

Han Shupi returned with a smile: This is natural, the students dare not forget Mr. 's teachings, but now they don't know how to go to Zizhou, and they still hope that Mr. will teach them.

Mr. Wang was silent, but pursed his lips and pointed to the copper coins on the table. Han Shu knew what he wanted in his heart, and he was entangled in whether to give it to him before entering the door, and he naturally didn't want to, what he said sounded, he had cultivated himself over the years, and he didn't see the children of those rich families, although he didn't beat or scold the children of poor families, but he didn't discipline them, and he was mocking a few words from time to time: The children of poor families can read a few words when they are up to the sky, which is nothing more than knowing how many ridges of land they have at home, and the others are useless.

Han Shu was also taken aback by him, Mr. Wang, it is a great blessing to be able to go to the academy in Zizhou, and he may not be able to become a great talent in the future, but the deep-rooted concept and arrogance do not allow Mr. Wang to bow his head, even if he just says a few words to Han Shu with a smile, he can't do it, looking down is looking down, what can he do if he goes to Zizhou, he has seen more and bigger scenes, and he can walk in front of people step by step? can walk in front of Mr. Wang, heh, if you really arrive in Zizhou, it will hit these children from poor backgrounds even harder, how many people have sunk, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts. It's better to be a farmer in a down-to-earth manner.

Han Shu lowered his head and thought in his heart, raised his head to Mr. Wang with a smile on his face, and said with a student salute with both hands: Sir, you also know the situation in my family, I really can't take it out, if the student has any achievements in the future, whether it is small or big, he will not forget the grace of Mr. Wang's teachings.

I didn't see Mr. Wang say anything, just waved his hand, and then went to the copper coin in his hand. Han Shu gritted his teeth, turned his head and left. When he went out of the door, he glanced back at the teaching gentleman, and said with a smile: The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird. The next thing is a wry smile, how to go to Zizhou is a big problem, I can't go to Zizhou, I delay the enrollment report, and the previous efforts will be in vain

Walking out of the school and coming to the street, he saw two riders slowly coming towards him, and Han Shu looked at it and grinned: one is Huang Tian immediately, and the other is Huang Tian's father. What surprised Han Shu even more was that the horse, hey, thought that he could see this tall horse there, this horse's legs, it was really strong, this figure, no, this horse's head was really long. I like it, but I haven't seen it before.

Waving his hand to the two horses, Huang Tian also saw Han Shu, and ran over softly, still the same, came up and gave Han Shu a punch first, and said with a smile: Yes, I heard that I was admitted to Zizhou, not bad, this is what my brother should do, and I can also say in the future that my brother is from Zizhou College, and there is light on his face. Huang Tian waved his hand: Fuck you, I don't know yet, no matter what you do, you're my brother.

Both of them laughed happily, and Huang Tian's father also came over with a smile, dismounted, and saluted the elders: Hello Uncle Huang. Daddy Huang Tian looked at this child, and he also liked it in his heart, and he also knew what happened to Han Shu's parents, but the fault of the parents was not the child, and he was also very satisfied with Han Shu's reasonableness. smiled and said to Han Shu: Yes, I was admitted to Zizhou College. is much more promising than Huang Tian, this kid, letting him cultivate is like asking him to die. Huang Tian was not angry with what Daddy said, but he was happy for this brother in his heart. Han Shu hesitated, but still said to Huang Tian's father: Uncle Huang, the little nephew was admitted to the exam, and now the difficulty is that he doesn't know how to go to Zizhou, he doesn't know the way, and he doesn't know how to go. Huang Tian's father chuckled: You and Huang Tian are friends, I think you also like this kid, we are about to return to Tongling County, Tongling County is in Fengzhou, adjacent to Zizhou, although it is still far away from Zizhou College, but it is much more convenient, you first follow me and Huang Tian to Tongling County, and then go to Zizhou, when the time comes for your uncle to arrange for you, it is not difficult, you can't say that you finally came up with a reading seed, and lost on the road of ignorance, which makes people laugh.

Han Shu nodded in thanks, and he also had a little mixed feelings in his heart, this is just a friend's father, who has no relatives and no reason with him, can help himself like this.

Huang Tian pulled Han Shu and walked to the horse: Big horse, haven't ridden it, grab me for a while, if you fall down, fall a dog and eat, I don't care.

Han Shu sneered: Don't look at me I haven't ridden, when I was a child, I rode a wooden ox, I didn't have a stable past.

Pull it down, that's a person bending over, you are stepping over with both hands in your hands, this big horse is alive, jokes are jokes, don't fall down for a while, this thing is high, it's not a joke to fall. Huang Tian retorted

No problem, less verbose, get on the horse, and walk.

"Hey, Hanshu, don't hug my waist, my waist is for my daughter-in-law, you can grab my shoulder, be bold"

"Roll the calf, you ride slowly, I won't hug your waist and fly out early, your special mother won't be slow, I have to take off my pants, can you marry a daughter-in-law, just hold your waist, I don't care." ”

"Haha, okay, let you hug it, hey, you grab your waist, grab your waist, what are you doing with your hand, don't pull my pants, you want to take them off, let go, let go, hey, you guy" Huang Tian said angrily, Han Shu didn't refute, and he didn't care that Huang Tian's father was next to him, scolding and scolding along the way. Huang Tian's father smiled all the way

Han Shu nodded in thanks, and he also had a little mixed feelings in his heart, this is just a friend's father, who has no relatives and no reason with him, can help himself like this. In the village, Han Shu also has some aunts and uncles, all of whom are poor families, and they are difficult to protect, and Han Shu does not want to disturb them.

Huang Tian pulled Han Shu and walked to the horse: Big horse, haven't ridden it, grab me for a while, if you fall down, fall a dog and eat, I don't care.

Han Shu sneered: Don't look at me I haven't ridden, when I was a child, I rode a wooden ox, I didn't have a stable past.

Pull it down, it's a person bending over, you are stepping over with both hands in your hands, this big horse is alive, jokes are jokes, don't fall down for a while, this thing is high, it's not a joke to fall. Huang Tian retorted

No problem, less verbose, get on the horse, and walk.

"Hey, Hanshu, don't hug my waist, my waist is for my daughter-in-law, you can grab my shoulder, be bold"

"Roll the calf, you ride slowly, I won't hug your waist and fly out early, your special mother won't be slow, I have to take off my pants, can you marry a daughter-in-law, just hold your waist, I don't care." ”

"Haha, okay, let you hug it, hey, you grab your waist, grab your waist, what are you doing with your hand, don't pull my pants, you want to take them off, let go, let go, hey, you guy" Huang Tian said angrily, Han Shu didn't refute, and he didn't care that Huang Tian's father was next to him, scolding and scolding along the way. Huang Tian's father smiled all the way, didn't speak, looked at the two children, and just sighed: It's good to be young.

Along the way, there was laughter and scolding, and it was not fast or slow to reach the scene of the sun. I entered a small town, and the name was called Mountain Town, and the name was given to the occasion, because the annex was full of mountains. Huang Tian's father found an inn, let Huang Tian and Han Shu have a room, and after eating, they all went back to the room to rest. Huang Tian wanted to take Daddy out to have fun together, but he had to get up early tomorrow to hurry, so Daddy Huang Tian smiled and drove Huang Tian and Han Shu back to the room. I didn't play all night, maybe it was because the cold was too bumpy on the horseback during the day, and I was worried along the way, but I didn't dare to let go of my hand. Huang Tian looked back at Han Shu, always looking helpless, also funny, and not laughing. In fact, the ride is not fast, originally planned not to spend the night in the mountain town today, and the next day to Tongling County, this time it will drag on for half a day.

I got up in the morning, had breakfast in a hurry, bought some food on the way with Xiao Er, filled it with water, and set off again. Today's cold sleep is much better, unlike yesterday's shaking, how can I sit steadily. In the middle of the road, under the guidance of Huang Tian, he slowly rode forward for a while, although he fell off the horse a few times in the middle, but he was able to ride a horse by himself, and he could not run without mentioning, even if it was a normal walk, he was not tired of it. In the end, it was handed over to Huang Tian, and he quickened his pace, so that he could rush to Tongling County before dark

Finally entered Tongling County when the sun was still a little red, Han Shu hesitated again and again on the way, first like Uncle Huang asked clearly how to go to Zizhou College, and it was simple to get to Tongling County, five copper plates can buy a map at the grocery store, although it is not very detailed, but you can also go to Zizhou, so that there will be no direction. Then Han Shu said goodbye to Uncle Huang: Uncle, I won't go to home, I'll stay at this inn. Tomorrow I'll go buy a map and go on my own. Huang Tian was not happy when he heard it: What are you doing, you don't enter the door when you get home, what do you want to do, and you still live in a guest house by yourself, is it like a sneaky insight into the great scenery of the night? Uncle Huang laughed, didn't say anything, and agreed after thinking about it. Let Huang Tian stay with Han Shu, and tell Huang Tian to go home tomorrow and leave the horse for Han Shu.

Han Shu was about to shake his head and refuse, but Huang Tian's father waved his hand and said: That's it, I'll go home first, Huang Tian, you and Han Shu will stay for one night, and come back tomorrow. Huang Tian wanted to say anything more, but when he saw Daddy's eyes, he didn't speak, and he and Han Shu found an inn to live together.

Huang Tian didn't know, Han Shu didn't want to trouble himself, the compound he lived in was with his brother-in-law, although Huang Tian didn't say that he was under the fence, but it was not very comfortable to live in. The friendship between brothers, I have something to do, I need you, I will definitely tell you, you need me, I will stand up without saying a word. It is precisely because of the brothers that they will think more about each other, and deal with what they can solve by themselves. Not so many pretentious words
