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

Chapter 760 Patriarch Ye's Request
Patriarch Ye had read Ye Zhiqiu's letter long before he came. This lord is this year's new champion, and his official position is two ranks higher than Ye Zhiqiu's.

Besides, this Gu family, in the surrounding villages, who doesn't know, who doesn't know?
"Patriarch Ye came here today, but he sent someone here? Are the first three younger generations here?"

Gu Chengyu looked at the three teenagers, they were all about the same age, about eight or nine years old.

Looking at the same clothes as Patriarch Ye, he knew that the family's situation was not good.

However, if the family lives well, they are reluctant to give their son to others.

Although Ye Zhiqiu became an official, following Ye Zhiqiu's future will not be bad.

But sending them is to serve others, and only those whose families live in poverty are willing to send their babies there.

Patriarch Ye stood up, pulled the three teenagers behind him to the front, pointed to the person on the far left and said, "This is Guang Ding, and he is ten years old this year."

Then he pointed to the other two and said, "The one on the right is called Guangliang, who is eleven years old this year, and the one in the middle is called Guanghan, who is ten years old this year."

Patriarch Ye planned to send all three of them to the capital. Ye Zhiqiu had no one to help him in the capital, so he could run errands with two more clansmen.

Ye Zhiqiu's family background is not good either, it must be difficult for someone to buy him and serve him.Besides, how can anyone in the tribe feel at ease if they buy it?

After listening to Patriarch Ye's introduction, Gu Chengyu carefully looked up and down the three teenagers.

All three were about the same size and about the same age.

But probably because of long-term malnutrition, two of them are very thin and look like they are eight or nine years old.

Although the other one is not tall, his body does not look weak.

It's just that the name is unique, Guangding, Guangshu?Gu Chengyu was a little embarrassed.

This Guangding was a little shy, seeing Gu Chengyu sizing him up, he quickly lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.

The one on the right named Guangliang is similar, the farm boy, more simple ones.

It's just that it's called Guanghan, which is a bit special.The body is bigger than the other two, and the ten-year-old is taller than the eleven-year-old Guangliang.

Looking at the strong body, you should eat less meat, right?
Looking at Guanghan's clothes, it doesn't look like he has money at home. Could it be that his family can be eaten by him?

And this bare man is not as shy as the other two, his eyes are full of firmness, and there is also a trace of fierceness.

"Your name is Guanghan? How long do you do at home?"

Gu Chengyu felt that this Guanghan was different, since Ye Zhiqiu entrusted this matter to him, he had to check for Ye Zhiqiu.

"My lord! I have no relatives in my family!" Guanghan's eyes were very calm. After saying this, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Patriarch Ye was afraid that Guanghan would offend Gu Chengyu, so he hurried forward and explained: "Guanghan's father is the best hunter in the village. His father entered the inner circle of Changling Mountain four years ago and never came out again. He also got sick and followed him, and he has been living alone since then."

When patriarch Ye was talking about Guanghan's past, Gu Chengyu noticed that Guanghan's eyes had changed, with an uncontrollable pain.

Just as he was about to interrupt Patriarch Ye, Patriarch Ye automatically ended the topic.

"Guanghan has been hunting in the village. My lord, don't think he is young, but he is actually very skilled! The little old man just wants him to be a follower for Brother Qiu because of his good skills."

Gu Chengyu understood what Patriarch Ye meant, it was to protect Ye Zhiqiu.

The patriarch Ye put his heart into the candidates, and Gu Chengyu felt that these three seemed to be reliable for the time being.

"I will take these three people to the capital, but there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital. Since you have decided to go to the capital, you must listen to your adults. Don't act recklessly, and don't disobey discipline. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Chengyu said these words first, if he saw that Ye Zhiqiu was a young man, and his family was orphaned and widowed, and he didn't listen to Ye Zhiqiu's orders, then he would naturally intervene.

He felt that Guanghan had a kind of ruthlessness. According to Patriarch Ye, Guanghan should only be six or seven years old when his parents left.

Being able to maintain such a strong body, it can be seen that he has some skills.

He also saw that Guanghan's eyes were upright, so he agreed. He didn't want Guanghan to become a trouble.

Ye Zhiqiu's situation is different from his. Ye Zhiqiu has no money in his hands, and he has no skills, so he is not so easy to deal with his clansmen.

"No, no, thank you sir!" Patriarch Ye was very happy in his heart. Ye Zhiqiu could say that the candidate must be approved by Master Gu.

Now that Mr. Gu is satisfied with the person he brought, he is naturally happy.

Especially here is his nephew and grandnephew. Although he is a little cautious, Guangliang is a good person, otherwise he would not send Guangliang to the capital.

"They all agree, right?"

This Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo and the others to inquire to see if there was anything tricky about it.

He didn't know anyone from the Ye clan, so he didn't want this patriarch Ye to find someone else to replace him.Otherwise, how could he explain to Ye Zhiqiu?

"I agree, and if you don't agree with the little old man, it is impossible to let them come. It is their honor to go to the capital to follow Brother Qiu. This quota almost makes them overwhelmed."

Although Patriarch Ye's words were slightly exaggerated, they were also a true portrayal.

If you follow Ye Zhiqiu, you can't still be hungry, right?It's better than staying at home without enough food and clothing.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "I still have to stay in Shangling Village for another [-] days, you go back first, and say goodbye to your family. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after going to the capital, so please be filial at home these days !"

How can there be freedom in being a follower for others?I don't know how many years it will be when I come back.

Patriarch Ye nodded, looked at the three teenagers and sighed, there were still some tears in his eyes.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, this patriarch Ye is a good person, and he still feels a little bit reluctant to the children of the clan who are about to go to the capital.

Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl, ready to see off the guests.

But I didn't want Patriarch Ye to say to Gu Chengyu shyly again, "My lord, the little old man has something to ask!"

"Patriarch Ye, please tell me!"

Gu Chengyu felt that patriarch Ye was dedicated to the clan, and he was willing to pay some respect to such a person.

"You also know that we are all farmers, and these three children are used to being wild in the countryside. Only this time we are going to the capital, where the rules must be strict! I am afraid that their rules are not good, and Qiu Geer's colleagues There was a joke in front of me. Or some noble person was offended, and Brother Qiu got into trouble."

Patriarch Ye is very embarrassed to say this, although this is the friendship between Ye Zhiqiu and Gu Chengyu.

But he felt that taking people to the capital was enough to bother others, and once he said what he planned in his heart, it would make Brother Qiu owe him another favor.

Money is easy to repay in this world, but human debts are hard to repay!

After thinking about it, he opened his mouth cautiously for Brother Qiu's sake.
