Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 780 None of them
"None of them." Gu Wenxuan dismissed it with a relaxed look, "The main reason is that he has just taken office and there is a vacancy in the county government, so he should leave first."

Row!
Let’s talk about it after we get out.

You decide!

Another vacant position?

Could it be that there is another vacant position for clerk? You are afraid that your sister-in-law will find out that you know the county magistrate, so Uncle Ma will ask you for help. Or do you have some other plan?
Warm room.

The two large wooden boxes were still there.

Gu Wenxuan helped Zhou Banxia to ascend the throne. After she sat firmly on the high chair, he went to the wooden boxes and took out one of the gold-painted wooden boxes with cloud patterns and bats engraved on it.

——She took out the head ornaments from the wooden box, and then took out the cotton ball and red silk that was used as a cushion. She took the cotton ball and kept kneading it, and finally made a cotton ball and handed it to Zhou Banxia.

Zhou Banxia raised his eyebrows.

"Your elder brother." Forget it, let's not waste time. Gu Wenxuan decisively tore open the cotton ball with his hands and took out a small peace locket from it.

Report safety?

Big brother, report well?

"It's Uncle Qi."

Oh, I see. It was Uncle Qi who reassured the couple. Her eldest brother was worried about reporting his safety in the letter, but she didn't believe it, so she used this small peace locket to report his safety again.

This is easy to understand. The question is, with only this small peace locket, should I report it to my uncle or to the capital? "Who should I report it to?"

"Both ends are safe. I don't need to tell you what the Flowing Cloud Bat represents, right? One means everything is safe, and two means someone has done something stupid."

Zhou Banxia nodded to show that she understood, "Do you want to pinch it again? Will it fall off?"

"No, each number has to match the pattern on the box to make sense."

After saying that, in order to prevent Zhou Banxia from asking which remaining numbers corresponded to which box patterns, Gu Wenxuan then mentioned that the instruction manual was in the study.

In the study?
clear!

Study room on the first floor of the villa.

Seeing Zhou Banxia close his eyes, Gu Wenxuan suppressed his laughter and reminded, "Let's talk about it when we are about to go to sleep. As for Senior Brother, he just took over and has a lot of things to do."

what?
This topic has changed!
Zhou Banxia was just about to ask Gu Wenxuan, except for the two large wooden boxes, all the wooden boxes in the wooden box had engraved patterns, how did he know that the peace locket was in this wooden box?

"Another thing is that he has Cheng Xianyu to help him, so there's no need for me to show up. It just so happens that I'm on leave at home. He and Cheng Xianyu both know how worried the gentleman is about you.

As for me, I will just let things take their own course and not go into the city. I will go to the county school after the next monthly exam. By then, my senior brother will have almost finished the work at hand, and we can meet again then.

In this way, the vacant positions in the county government can be given up by my senior brothers, and I will have an idea of ​​who should release my own people, which can save me a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Otherwise, given the Zhao family's status in the county, would Uncle Zhao have had to fight with several other families for the vacant clerk position for his second son? That shows how good it is."

That's right!
This can be considered a hereditary iron rice bowl. It will not affect the imperial examinations of your children and grandchildren. You have connections in the government and it is easy to get things done. Isn't it a delicious bun?

"In my case, when Senior Brother sent his attendant to deliver the letter, I instructed Zhiming to send someone back to meet Senior Brother and tell him the truth.

That is to say, Senior Brother knew very well that I knew how much the vacant position of the clerk was worth, and he had no intention of leaving it for Gu Yangwen, the uncle. But before letting Zhiming go to see Senior Brother, I did go to see your great grandfather, and he wanted him to inherit his father's business as Changping's uncle. "

Take over the village school?

Zhou Banxia nodded slowly, "It's understandable. Grandpa not only wants to train more scholars for the village, but he also knows that Uncle Changping is more suitable for teaching.

Rather than letting you owe a favor to Uncle Changping to be in the county government, it is better to place your hopes on Li Ge'er. As long as Li Ge'er passes the imperial examination and Dajiang is there, the Changfang lineage will have nothing to worry about."

That is indeed what he meant. Ever since his Yue family was adopted by his eldest uncle's son, this lineage consists of his Yue family and Uncle Changping's family. Once Dajiang becomes powerful, the closest ones will naturally be Uncle Changping's family.

“My great grandfather sometimes had old-fashioned ideas and was not good at managing household affairs, but at least he was a scholar who passed the imperial examinations in his early years and he had run the village school for many years.

Even though he doesn’t understand the ways of the world, when it comes to the future of his children and grandchildren, Grandpa still has his own ideas. Compared to Uncle Changping, he still wants us to help Brother Li more…”

That’s right, this is the point!

Your great-grandfather now knows more or less that Dajiang's next plan is to go to the south of the Yangtze River to study. His words imply that he wants Li Ge'er to leave Jingshan Academy first and go around with Dajiang.

But this transfer not only affects expenses, but also personal safety.

Expenses are not a big problem anyway, he and his wife just happen to send Gu Dahua and others to accompany them. The key is personal safety. Who can guarantee that Li Ge'er will be safe and sound when he is away?

Li Ge'er is not Dajiang after all.

Dajiang went to study under the title of the fourth young master of the Zhou family. Now, before he set out for the south of the Yangtze River, the master had already arranged a personal guard for Dajiang.

He is not a personal bodyguard, but has the same configuration as Hai Ge'er, with a permanent bodyguard, a servant bodyguard, and a bodyguard who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect his master in danger.

How could an ordinary family possibly find such a guard who is trained to be willing to risk his life? Even if they could hire a bodyguard who would follow them through thick and thin at a high salary, it would still not be comparable.

What's more, they are not students from the same circle. If Li Ge'er is offended by the words of some official's son, it may not be a good thing for them to study in Jiangnan together.

Forget it, it’s better to pretend that I don’t know about this troublesome problem, so that my wife won’t worry about it. Yes, I must not let anybody know about it, I must keep it secret till the end!
"...In fact, Uncle Changping doesn't need this vacancy. With the title of a scholar, wouldn't it be perfect for him to inherit his father's teaching career while studying for the autumn examination?

Anyway, there is no age limit for your autumn imperial examination. If you fail the first time, you can take the exam next time. It’s better to pass, but if you fail, it’s no big deal.

In fact, it is enough to have the title of scholar. Why work so hard? You are exempted from military service now. What else do you want? If you go further, do you still need to prepare for the spring examination if you pass the exam?

How many years do we have to live in our lifetime? Look at my great-grandfather. He passed the imperial examination when he was less than 20 years old, which was considered quite early. But how many years did he take the provincial examinations?
He has studied till he is forty, so let him live till he is seventy. Even if he passes the imperial examination at forty, he can enjoy himself for a few years happily——"

Suppose he lived to be seventy?
Doesn’t that mean I won’t live for many more years?
Gu Wenxuan burst out laughing.

"Why?" Zhou Banxia looked at him puzzledly, "What did I say wrong? I wanted him to pass the imperial examination at the age of 40. He didn't have many years to enjoy life happily.

Nowadays, many elderly people have lost all their teeth after they are over 60, and can't walk far with a cane after they are over 65. Yes, but they can still play before they are 60."

"Wife, which one are you talking about?"

Who else could be playing!

It’s so terrible!

do not want to talk!

Tired of heart!
