The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 727

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and children!"

Gu Chengyu is really earnest, even if Zhu Pang asked his father to ask the emperor for a seventh-rank official position, it would be fine!

Zhu Pang told Gu Chengyu to blush, he is not married yet!Where did the wife and children come from?
However, he also knew that what Gu Chengyu said was right, and his parents often advised him like this.

"If you just want to be happy and happy for the rest of your life and be a rich idler, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Anyway, your family is not short of money, and I believe your eldest brother will not care too much about your mother's subsidy for you."

This made Zhu Pang really blush, how thick-skinned is he?
"I know, but I really have a headache when I read books. I'm only interested in practicing martial arts." At this moment, Zhu Pang really began to think about his future life.

"If your father begged the emperor for mercy, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to get a seventh-rank official position."

Although it is unlikely that he will become a member of the second and third ranks in the future, it will not be for nothing after all.

"To be an official? To be a civil servant?" Zhu Pang shook his head like a rattle, he couldn't imagine it.

"Then you like to practice martial arts, why don't you seek a martial arts job? I remember that Qin Shizi just found a fourth-rank vacancy?"

Gu Chengyu knew that the reason Qin Shizi was able to get the fourth grade was because Qin Guogong was an idler, and because these noble families started their careers by meritorious service, so finding a position naturally had to be a military position.

If Qin Guogong does not have the Lord, Qin Shizi will not only get the title, but also inherit his official position after Qin Guogong abdicates.This is the right of the Xungui family, but it is limited to military positions.

"How can it be so easy? Qin Shizi's situation is special." When Zhu Pang said this, he couldn't help but feel a little envious, that is an official position of the fourth rank!
Gu Chengyu glanced at Zhu Pang's expression, and realized that Zhu Pang must be seeking a military position.

"Do you really want to seek a military position?" Gu Chengyu asked bluntly.

Zhu Pang didn't hesitate this time, he nodded affirmatively, "I do mean that, but my father won't agree, and besides, it's not easy to do."

"If you really think about it, it's not impossible. There are more ways than difficulties!" Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of a way to make Zhu Pang forge ahead.

"What way?" Zhu Pang hurriedly sat down opposite Gu Chengyu, looking at Gu Chengyu with bright eyes.

"Isn't there still martial arts? If you go to participate in martial arts, won't you be able to seek a military position in a fair manner?"

In fact, Gu Chengyu thinks this is a good idea. If he can come back with a military champion and be directly awarded a military officer of the third rank, it will be a step up to the sky.

Thinking of it this way, even he himself envied him.It's a pity that the Dayan Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and the status of civil servants was higher.

"Martial arts?" Zhu Pang was quite surprised, he had never thought about it before.

One is that his father would not allow it. His father always looked down on military officers.The second is that the martial arts examinations are the same as the imperial examinations for literati. Thousands of troops and horses cross a single-plank bridge.

There are many children's examinations, township examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations. It is really difficult for Zhu Pang to pass five levels and kill six generals.

And even if the literary test is not strict, you still have to read the "Martial Arts" well, right? There are as many as seven volumes of "Wu Jing"!

"Why? Do you think it's impossible for you to take part in martial arts exams?" Gu Chengyu smiled. In fact, he felt that Zhu Pang was really incompetent in literature and martial arts.

In terms of martial arts, the accuracy of horse riding and archery is average, much inferior to him.

The knife dance is not bad, and it can be regarded as a decent performance, but it is a bit reluctant to lift a big stone.

Zhu Pang scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "That's not true, my father didn't let me learn it before, and I didn't dare to practice too blatantly, for fear that my father would be unhappy. So I didn't practice very hard, let alone pay attention to it. .”

Gu Chengyu knew that Zhu Pang would be lazy, and it is estimated that such a person would only come back after taking the martial arts exam, which is all flattery.

Gu Chengyu spread his hands helplessly, "Let's not say whether your father agrees or not, you don't care about it yourself, and you didn't practice hard at all. I think it's better to forget about martial arts, I'm afraid you won't even win a scholar!"

Zhu Pang blushed, "Isn't that why I didn't practice well before? If my father agrees, I will definitely practice hard. Not to mention the champion of martial arts, it is not impossible to become a martial arts scholar!"

"With your current appearance, your father will definitely not agree to it. Even if you don't want to be a scholar, can your father trust you?"

Gu Chengyu just wanted to roll his eyes, but he was really out of tune.With Zhu Pang's cynical appearance, can Zhu Kui agree to take the martial arts exam?
Zhu Pang is the third son in the family, and his father doesn't have high demands on him.If he could find an official position, his father wouldn't keep pushing him to make progress.

But Zhu Pang was too tired and had been muddling along, so how could his father feel at ease and let Zhu Pang do it himself.

He believed that as long as Zhu Pang made up his mind and made some achievements for his father to see, Zhu Kui would not be tempted?

"Then I will practice hard when I go back this time. I want to participate in martial arts."

Gu Chengyu could see the seriousness in Zhu Pang's eyes, probably because he had found his purpose in life.So far, no longer confused.

"This is your own choice, have you thought about it? There are not many opportunities in life to start over."

Gu Chengyu didn't want Zhu Pang to make a hasty decision on his life direction because he avoided the current embarrassment.

"Of course! It's just that I won't pass this year's martial arts exam. I have to wait until three years later."

After talking with Gu Chengyu today, Zhu Pang felt that the fog in front of him had been cleared away, allowing him to see the road ahead clearly.

"It's just at my father's place." Zhu Pang was a little worried, would his father feel ashamed because he went to practice martial arts?
"Then you must get Mr. Zhu's consent and try your best to convince him. No one can help you."

Gu Chengyu will not help to persuade Zhu Kui, because this is the first test of Zhu Pang.

Zhu Pang took a deep breath, "I know! I can only say my best."

Gu Chengyu and Zhu Pang looked so solemn, and felt that this kid was quite afraid of his father.

"Is Mrs. Zhu objecting to your martial arts practice?" Gu Chengyu said with a smile in his eyes.

"I don't really object, but my mother will definitely not be willing to let me go to the border."

As Zhu Pang spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Wu Jinshi didn't have to go to the border.He didn't dare to think that if he could become the top ten in the second class, he could stay in the palace and become the emperor's personal bodyguard.

But it's very difficult!If the ranking falls behind, the possibility of going to the border gate to guard the border is high.There are too many variables, how can his mother be willing?

He understood what Gu Chengyu meant, which meant to get his mother's consent first.With his father, as long as you grind slowly, there will always be a chance.

"You are really bad." Zhu Pang's eyes were bright, and his big almond eyes were full of smiles.

Gu Chengyu happened to pick up the tea bowl and was about to take a sip. Hearing Zhu Pang's words, he almost spilled the tea soup in the tea bowl.

very scary!He is going to find his mother.
