The official road of the farmer

The stretching mountains are shaded by greenery, and insects and birds are singing one after another, and the sound is endless.

In the depths of the lush jungle, on the trunk of a tree more than a hundred years old, a thick branch protruded from a height of three meters. On the branch lay a slender young man.

His knees are slightly bent, his hands are resting on the back of his head, and a half-open book is covering his face.

When the breeze blows, the hanging corners of the clothes sway slightly.

For a while, there was a feeling of tranquility.

A colorful wild pheasant suddenly clucked and jumped out from the lush grass, scratching the ground with its powerful claws, and pecking at the surrounding grass from time to time with its sharp beak.

The people who had been resting quietly sat up, took out their homemade bows, and set up arrows to aim at the approaching wild animals that did not know the danger.

The wheat-colored slender fingers loosened suddenly, and the off-string arrow flew by, stabbing the unconscious wild pheasant with precision.

Accompanied by a long cluck, the two thick claws facing the sky struggled a few times, unwillingly becoming the soul of the arrow.

The young man on the tree curled his lips into a smile, turned over neatly and got down to the ground, took out the pannier hidden behind the tree trunk, picked up the prey and put it in.

This person is Ye Junshu.

After a year, his height is more than eight feet, that is, more than 1.8 meters, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and straight back, making him look taller and taller. This can be regarded as standing out from the crowd in areas in the north where taller skeletons are common. up.

He hadn't gone hunting in the mountains for a while, and suddenly he had a sudden whim, so he took a weapon, took a miscellaneous journal, and ran into the deep mountains.

Reading in the secluded deep mountains and wild forests is not in a good mood. He found a place where wild animals haunted, and waited for the prey to appear while reading.

Although it took a bit of time, it was worth the trip, and you can have an extra meal in the evening.

Ye Junshu was in a good mood.

Look at the sky, it's just right to go back now.

He took a detour to the place where he set the trap to see if he caught any wild animals.

Fortunately, he went to see that two traps were really set, and one of the roe deer was not well set. If he had come a step late, he would have escaped.

Today is full of harvest, and I feel better.

Ye Junshu walked down the mountain briskly. He met fellow villagers on the road, and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

Now his status in the village is not the same. Since he was admitted as a scholar a year ago, he has gained weight in the village and has some say in the major events in the village.

Of course, Ye Junshu did not point fingers at the villagers by relying on his own identity. He has been concentrating on his studies this year. Everyone knows that he wants to continue to take the entrance exam. .

Maybe in the future, their Ye family village will produce high-ranking officials!

When Ye Junshu came home, the door was open.

The children's laughter came from the yard, which seemed to be very lively. When he walked in, he saw someone who appeared unexpectedly.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"Zizhou, you're back!" Qin Yaoliang greeted with a smile.

After a year, the brother's temperament seems to have not changed. The husband has completely ignored him. Maybe he thinks that it is enough for him to pass the entrance examination as a scholar, and there is no hope for him to pass the entrance examination, so he no longer restricts his actions.

Once Qin Yaoliang was free, he would go to Yejia Village every now and then, either to play with the children or to ponder over his manuscript.

Seeing Ye Junshu put down the book, he pestered him for the key points of the story.

Ye Junshu lost his temper immediately after being pestered.

Recently, I have been running more diligently, and I almost want to stay here. At first, Ye Junshu didn't think too much, but when Qin Yao was absent-minded, he always asked him about a certain brother. Ye Junshu Only then did I realize, oh, it turns out that the senior brother loves Dou Chukai and fell in love with a brother.

Logically speaking, since he has such a good relationship with his senior brother, he should agree with both hands and feet and spare no effort to help match him up, but who made the senior brother fall in love with Luo Ge'er?

Ye Junshu's face darkened immediately.

He has a close relationship with Ming's family. Ye Junshu also regards Brother Luo as his own younger brother. His 15-year-old brother is being missed by others. There are two big characters of birds and beasts.

Luo Geer is only 15 years old!So small!The senior brother actually thought about it!Ye Junshu had the word "Reject" written all over his body, and it was because of their good relationship that they didn't drive him out.

Ye Junshu selectively forgot the fact that brothers in this era have started dating since they were 14 years old.

"Zizhou!" Qin Yaoliang was eager to help up and down, "We really have a good understanding, you have a premonition that I will come today, so you specially went to the mountain to hunt, right? Brother, I am so touched!"

Ye Junshu twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking too much.

Seeing Ye Junshu pick up a fat hare, Qin Yaoliang suddenly understood, snatched the rabbit, and ran out in an instant, "This is to be sent to Aunt Ming, right? I'll help you..."

Before the words were finished, the person disappeared.

Jun Ye carried the remaining prey into the kitchen expressionlessly.

Although, Luo Ge'er doesn't like to go out, but the senior brother has been here diligently, and he met him at some time. He believes that they must have met a few times, so why did the senior brother miss it?

Brother Lu came over to help, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother, Brother Yaoliang and Brother Luo are actually quite suitable, don't be so stern!"

Ye Junshu snorted softly, where does it fit?One is a joking acquaintance, one is bored in the house all day long and sees no outsiders, one is from a scholarly family, and the other is from a poor farming family. In this age when family status is important, he is worried that Luo Geer will have a bad life if he gets married.

"Sir and Shimu are very nice people. Brother Luo would not have been bullied in the past."

Of course he knows that Mr. and Mrs. Shimu are very nice people, but getting married is not an easy matter. Both of them are people close to him. He doesn't want either party to have thoughts in his heart. If both parties are willing, everyone will be happy.

Ye Junshu nodded Lu Ge'er's forehead, "Ghost spirit! This is something that has not been written off yet, so don't talk nonsense outside, it's not good for Luo Geer."

Brother Lu nodded, "I know!" He was just talking in front of his elder brother.

"Finding a contract is a major event in a lifetime. We are outsiders, so we shouldn't point fingers. If the brother really has the heart, he will handle it well and make it happen. We sincerely wish that if it doesn't work out, we can't complain."

Lu Geer nodded.

Not long after, Qin Yaoliang came back, downcast, as if he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

He walked into the kitchen, saw Brother Lu, and hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, go out and play, I'll help your elder brother."

Brother Lu glanced at the two brothers, then got up and went out.

Ye Junshu was boiling water, preparing to clean up the two wild animals.

Qin Yaoliang moved to sit next to Ye Junshu, and asked eagerly, "Zizhou, I'm asking you something, what do you think of me? Do you think I'm reliable? Is it worth entrusting for life?"

"Ask me..." Ye Junshu replied slowly, "I don't think you are reliable!" With a childish temper, how could you be reliable?Is it worth entrusting for life?

Qin Yaoliang's face fell directly, with an expression that you really don't appreciate.

He didn't know what to think of, so he blushed silently, and said coyly, "Zi Zhou, what do you think of me going to Ming'am to ask Brother Qiluo?" He finally expressed his thoughts.

Ye Junshu thought that he would continue to cover up his self-righteousness!He just rolled his eyes and said, "You ask me, how do I know? Have you told Shimu? Is Shimu willing to make this marriage? If so, Shimu should come forward to tell Ah Mu in person, right? "

When Qin Yaoliang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "You are so right! Ah Mu has been urging me to form a bond, and he will be very happy when he finds out. I will let my Ah Mu say, it will definitely work!"

Ah Mu had been looking for someone for him a few years ago, but he didn't like those brothers all the time, so it didn't work.

He is almost twenty. At the age of the eldest brother, he has children, and Eminem is about to get angry about his marriage.

Now that he has a brother he likes, Eminem must be very happy!

Ye Junshu thought to himself, this is not necessarily the case, but Ah Mu said that if you want to find someone for Luo Ge'er in the village, if you don't agree to go outside, the brother may not be able to do it.

But judging by Qin Yaoliang's happy expression, Ye Junshu didn't say anything against him.

In fact, think about it from another angle. With Luo Ge'er's temperament, he has to worry about whether he is being bullied when he makes a contract. If it is a senior brother's house, there is no such worry. Both the husband and the teacher are kind-hearted, Luo Ge The child will definitely live comfortably, but the premise is that the mother and the others are willing to let Luo Geer enter their home.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Junshu couldn't help but give Qin Yaoliang some advice, "If you really want to get married, then you have to convince your husband and wife to accept Luo Geer..."

Qin Yaoliang nodded as he listened, he was very teachable, he couldn't sit still after hearing this, and wished he could go home and have a heart-to-heart talk with Eminem.

"Zizhou, you are right. A marriage is not only a union of two people, but also a union of two families. We should talk about it, otherwise we will have a disagreement in the future, and we will be the ones who will suffer."

Ye Junshu saw that Qin Yaoliang understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything more, and directly ordered him to make dinner.

The water had already boiled, and the two were handling the prey. Qin Yaoliang thought of something, and suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

Ye Junshu looked up.

Qin Yaoliang blinked, "By the way, I forgot to tell you all the time, my father asked me to tell you to go to the county right away, he must have something to do with you... Well, it's too late now, it should be okay to go tomorrow."

Ye Junshu: "..." Suddenly, I really wanted to splash a basin of dirty water on his face.

The next day, Ye Junshu and Qin Yaoliang went back to the county together.

As soon as Qin Yaoliang got off the carriage, he rushed to find his mother to discuss life-long affairs.

Ye Junshu went to the private school to find his husband.

It was school time now, and when Ye Junshu passed by, his husband was teaching. He stood outside the door and listened for a while, seeing that his teacher had noticed his arrival, he went to the study and waited.

After waiting for a while, Mr.

Ye Junshu said hello, and got straight to the point, "Sir, brother said you have something to ask me?"

Qin Kangtai sat down on the seat, and let Ye Junshu sit down by the way, as if having a long talk.

"Zizhou, this past year, I have taught you everything that I can teach you. You are a very good student. It is because I am incompetent that I don't have the ability to teach you more. This is why I have been unwilling to accept you as an introductory disciple. reason."

Ye Junshu opened his mouth and was about to speak. Qin Kangtai raised his head slightly to stop him, and continued, "If you want to stand out in the imperial examination, you need good teachers and good friends. It is Fengcheng County that limits your growth. Now , If you stay here again, it will do you no good.

Therefore, the old man found a friend from many years ago. He received a message two days ago and was willing to help.This is a recommendation letter from Yongzhou University. Based on this recommendation, you can directly enter Yongzhou University. "

Qin Kangtai was really worried about this student. Even his friends who hadn't seen him for many years put down his face and begged him. He also mentioned Zizhou's excellence in his previous letter, and hoped that his friend could accept him as an introductory student, or help him Recommend a good teacher.

But the other party may not have seen anyone and didn't believe it. The letter didn't mention the matter of accepting apprentices, and only sent this letter of recommendation.

Qin Kangtai didn't tell Ye Junshu about this, lest he think too much.

Ye Junshu looked down at a letter taken out by Mr., with mixed emotions in his heart, he said in a low voice: "Sir..."

He never expected that the husband would take so much trouble for him, for a moment, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

"Since you have made up your mind to take this path, this old man can only help you, and the rest is up to you.

As the largest college in a prefectural city, Yongzhou College has countless excellent teachers and students. You can gain something if you think about it. If you devote yourself to studying for two years, then you will take the provincial examination. I believe that your results will make me proud of you. "

"...Yes, the students will definitely not disappoint Mr.

In the end, Ye Junshu took the recommendation letter and left. He returned home and thought about it for a day. Whether it was public or private, it was the best choice for him to study in Yongzhou. The provincial examination was also held in the city of Yongzhou, so he could take it directly...

If he passes the provincial examination, he will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination. If he passes the examination, he may stay in Beijing and become an official... In this way, he will not have time to come back to Yejia Village for at least many years, so the children must to bring.

This is a major decision to change their family's future, and Ye Junshu can't just stick to it.So, after dinner today, Ye Junshu called the children together for a family meeting.

Ye Junshu laid out his plans for the future and where he was going. The younger ones basically didn't express their opinions, and they went wherever the older brother went. He mainly knew the thoughts of the older two.

This walk is no different from leaving his hometown, and he doesn't know what the future will be like. Xiao Shan is already 13 years old, and he should respect his ideas, and Brother Lu is also an independent person.

Brother Lu looked at the second brother, then at the eldest brother, and first expressed his thoughts, "As long as our family is together, our home is everywhere. I don't want our brothers to be separated."

Xiao Shan struggled for a moment, and then made a decision: "Brother Lu is right, I don't want our brothers to be separated either, a whole family is a complete family when we are together."

Ye Junshu smiled, "Until you guys are fully grown up, the elder brother doesn't want to be separated from you." He is the eldest son, and he should be taken under the wing to protect the chick before it becomes independent.

"Brother, do we have enough savings?" Xiao Shan asked worriedly. He went outside and had nothing to eat or live in. All of them would cost money. By then, Big Brother would have no place to hunt and make money. There were so many brothers, and the money was enough. ?

"Don't worry, our family has a lot of savings, enough for us to consume for ten or eight years." Ye Junshu said.

Over the years, it was given by others and earned by himself. His savings have reached an unimaginable number. Ye Junshu didn't tell them the exact amount because he was afraid that the children would not know the truth, so as not to accidentally say it out, which would make people jealous or trick him. The thief misses.

Xiao Shan nodded, but he was still a little worried. The eldest brother will study in Fucheng, but it will cost a lot of money, and it will not be a problem if he cannot make ends meet.

Well, he will eat less at that time, well, he is old enough to find a job and reduce the burden on the family.
