Chapter 263 Dad, you go to take the imperial examination!
"Then I didn't say anything wrong, right?" Yan Er Er tried hard to recall what he and others had been talking about.
"No." Yan Yu admired her father very much for this point, watching him talk a lot with him, and avoiding all the important things perfectly.
"You have to be careful when dealing with these people. If you miss a sentence, it will be troublesome." Yan Laoer said again: "I don't know if Gufeng has any fellow villagers, if there is..."
Yan Yu stopped propping up the raft, and pulled back the wooden pole and put it on the raft.
The speed of the raft slows down.
Blending with the water flow, drifting away leisurely.
"Father, aren't we stupid? We want to rely on that little medicine to save people, but we are overthinking our abilities, and it's a drop in the bucket. Are you talking about us?"
Yan Er Er sighed.
He knew that the child, like him, had this matter on his mind, and it was not easy to get over it.
"Dabao! We can use as much strength as we can..."
Yan Yu interrupted him: "Father, I know, I understand the truth, I understand everything."
I just feel uncomfortable.
Life is like nothing.
Go with the flow.
Ordinary people cannot decide their own lives.
Why did they appear outside Gufeng City, because those people, like my family, came from famine!
I came out when I couldn’t survive in my hometown, trying to find a way out for myself and my family.
"But Dad, too many people died." Their first impression of Gu Feng was the cart after cart of corpses.
There are also people who have been carried to the side after arriving outside the city.
I heard from the yamen servant named Shi Shu that they not only buried it this time in the morning, but also went there later, not once a day, but several times a day...
How many people will die?
Many times, dead bodies are just an adjective to describe a tragic picture.
But Yan Yu couldn't help but wonder if such a scene would really happen in front of her eyes if no one collected the body for disposal.
Obviously, they have already come to Guanzhou, avoided the drought, and it seems that they will be like their own family, resettled and rooted here, and start a new life.
Everything is defeated by disease.
What's even more ridiculous is that this disease is not incurable.
Just look at the stark contrast between Huju City and Gufeng City.
Thinking hard, you can naturally think of the difference.
where?
People are different!
The person in charge is different, and the people below are different, and the fate of the people in a city will change drastically.
"Father, tell me, if Master Tian was in Gufeng City, would so many people still die?"
Yan Laoer thought for a while, and said pertinently: "It's not certain that Hujucheng can get better. It's not because my father is boasting. There is indeed a little credit from us, like our masks, to keep them isolated...
Going far to buy medicine, people in our village don’t do anything, and go to the mountains every day...
There is also Doctor An, who dares to use strong medicine..."
"Master Arita alone is not enough, everyone needs to work together."
Yan Yu: "Yes, but the Elder Master's decision is also very important. Dad, you have heard it too. They know the way we occupy the city. Elder Tian has already sent an official document. The prescription, we There are all the isolation methods, but they are useless, they don't need to..."
"It's prudent not to change the prescription. Is it that difficult to arrange people separately?"
Yan Yu asked himself and answered: "It's quite difficult, we need to send more people to delineate the area for them and prevent them from wandering around.
It is necessary to boil clear rice soup for them.
It doesn’t count if they eat, drink, and scatter, but they have to be clean and hygienic.
To get the right medicine, you must first identify what disease they are suffering from, and use different medicines according to their priorities, and use several cauldrons of medicine, each of which is different..."
Yan Yu sighed leisurely: "It's so difficult!"
Yan's second son didn't say a word.
He knew that the daughter was speaking ironically.
"Father, do you remember what Uncle said?" Yan Yu's clear eyes turned to meet Yan Lao Er, who could even see his own face from inside.
He asked: "Which sentence?"
Faintly recalled.
Sure enough, his daughter repeated what Old Yan said:
"Above, he is incompetent in governing the subordinates, and below, he has no achievements. Is such an official considered good?"
Yan Yu: "Father, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the grand master of Gu Fengcheng is a good official or not.
It's just that people in a city point to this person's survival. Whether he is dedicated and capable is very important to this city and the people in the city! "
Yan Er Er wiped his face: "Your uncle's great wish is to bring peace to the people and benefit the world."
He still feels agitated when he recalls the expression, movements, and tone of old Yan's speech that day.
"If it were my uncle, I would definitely not let Gu Feng fall into such a dangerous situation. Even without us, I believe my uncle can figure out a way." Yan Yu's tone was firm, not trusting the protagonist of the so-called world in the book , but because of the trust that they got along with Lao Yan for a long time and gradually deepened their understanding!
Yan Huaiwen, old Yan, her uncle, is a reliable person!
"Master Tian is the same, just looking at the preparations he made for the victims, you can tell that he is a caring person!" Yan Yu's voice gradually became louder, and in the soothing river water, he seemed to be competing with the green peaks on both sides.
"Lord Tian didn't let the victims go hungry. What he cooked was either rice soup or porridge. He occupied the government office and even held multiple positions, but he still took good care of the victims. This is not our era. The people here are afraid of officials. They are obedient. , obedient, especially obedient.
All they need is someone to help them out.
Even if you just give them a little possibility, you can live optimistically.
Seeing a little hope is like being illuminated in life. "
Yan Yu paused, calming down her high spirits.
Her voice lowered: "Father, it's fortunate to have you, and fortunately we are together."
If she was alone, she would be at a loss, she would not know how to face life here.
Maybe he can survive, but it must be very different from now.
She is well protected by her parents. She is in her twenties, and like a child, she has been "gnawing on the old", whether it is materially or spiritually.
The latter she draws more from, relying on them, gaining courage and strength from them.
She can do as she pleases, because she knows that her parents will tolerate her and love her.
Father would go crazy with her and make trouble with her, but mother would always look at her with a smile while saying disgusting words.
Yan's second son suddenly felt distressed.
Feeling sorry for his daughter.
In fact, his Dabao is not a nervous child, she is very delicate and sensitive.
Looking at her laughing and joking, in fact, she can see everything clearly and knows it well.
She has no high pursuit, just wants to live a simple and happy life.
But here, in this world, this happiness is no longer simple.
If it’s just that my family is doing well, and the village I live in is good, is it good?
If his Dabao was a little more selfish and hard-hearted, he should have a good life.
But she is not!
Her thoughts have been finalized, and the environment in which she grew up is comfortable and peaceful.
In the past, her biggest worry was how to carry her mother behind her back, and squeeze out some time to "not do business" outside of the busy study...
"Girl, don't be afraid, there is a father, and everything is on top of him. Look at your size, even if the sky falls, you won't be able to overwhelm you." Yan Lao Er deliberately said it lightly.
He didn't know how to comfort his daughter, and it felt useless to say anything.
Because of his daughter, she will figure it out by herself.
"Dad! You go to take the imperial examination!"
Yan Yu said something that shocked Yan Laoer's jaw.
"What? Me? What?"
Yan Yu: "Fortunately, the grand master of Gufeng City didn't come over today. If he came, you wouldn't be able to fool around like you were in Huju City. You have to kneel down to see him."
This is how Xiaomin is treated.
Yan Er Er took a few deep breaths: "I can do it, I can kneel, and it will be easy to ask your mother to sew me a knee."
Yan Yu: …
Although it is necessary to adapt to this world.
Father, you don't need to be too conscientious.
"Father, you have to be more confident. You can just come back from the test as a child student. Not only will you not have to kneel in the future, but you can also say a few words in front of the elder."
Yan Yu thinks this is particularly important.
You are a grassroots person, and they don't value your opinion at all.
How could Mr. Tian, who is in Hujucheng, accept the mask so easily, and let the second son Yan go out to buy medicine.
She thinks it has a lot to do with her uncle's status as a scholar and his job as an errand in Huju.
Besides, seeing my father interacting with people every time is also very tiring.
Her father is sincere and friendly, and he doesn't mind the cold face at the beginning, so he uses his warm face to stick to him.
But in this classed world.
People are not judged by their faces, but by their clothes.
is the identity of a person.
Scholar’s younger brother, in the future he may be Juren’s younger brother, Grand Master’s younger brother...
Does father want to go down with younger brother?
At least, as a child?
I used to look down on him, but now I understand my uncle's good intentions.
"I don't have anything to do in front of the old man. I don't take the exam." Yan Laoer said: "Every place has its own customs. When I go to the countryside, I follow the customs. What's wrong with kneeling when I see an official? How many times can I see you? If it wasn't for the epidemic, Elder Master is not out for a stroll, I can’t even see anyone.”
Compared to kneeling and taking exams, he chose to kneel.
"Father, the exam is easy here in Guanzhou. You can study as you please. I know the progress of the elder brother's homework. The uncle said that he has no problem passing the exam. Really, you just read the books and memorize them. It's not difficult." .” Yan Yu tried to convince him.
Yan Laoer shook his head again and again: "Don't fool me, I have already inquired clearly. It is not the case to say that the literature is not good here. Everyone has studied seriously, and it is too difficult to understand. , because there is no one to teach, and the foundation is solid. The Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention memorizing them backwards, are almost the same. We all know the circumstances under which it was written!"
Yan Yu didn't expect her father to inquire so carefully.
"Look at Dad, isn't it just memorization, you memorize it too, if you memorize two books a month, it will be enough for the beginning of the year."
Yan's second child is still nagging: "I can do it in a few months? What is it that people study hard for several years? My daughter, your father is not a material for reading. If I can read, can you still have such a happy childhood? ? Just because I know the hardship of studying, I don't ask you so much like your mother."
Yan Yu: …
"Father, you are so kind! It is because you are so good that we must pass the exam." Yan Yu gritted her teeth.
"Why?" Yan Er was confused.
"Think about it, if you can also be an official, how happy are the people under your hands!"
Yan’s second child: …
The hand tremblingly raised, and then tremblingly put down.
"You... girl! You can go, father supports you, what kind of woman is disguised as a man, and joins the army for your father, you go to take the exam for your poor old father, you can do it, no problem, father is optimistic about you."
What's all this? I'm afraid his Dabao is crazy, but he wants him to be an official. Why don't he let him go to heaven!
A woman disguised as a man...do you think she didn't think about it? Even if she couldn't pass the test of verifying her integrity, she couldn't pass the household registration check.
"Father, look, Uncle Liang is just a boy, Mr. Tian even let him be the household book, it's so good to work in the yamen, go out to be awe-inspiring, and have extra money, uncle's filial piety, and other things The income is quite a lot." Yan Yu's small eyes rolled around.
Yan's second son is not fooled: "I can still earn money at home, and now my income has steadily surpassed that of your uncle."
"What about social status?"
"What about your uncle, he is a scholar, I am the younger brother of a scholar, no one looks down on me."
"Anyone who has it is worse than one who owns it!"
"That's my elder brother, we have no separation, his is mine.
What's wrong with his light? I don't do evil either. "
"Dad! If you want your voice to be stronger, you have to stand at a higher position."
"Your uncle is enough, he stands tall, you can find him for whatever you want to do."
"Father! You are my father!"
"Your uncle is an uncle, and your uncle is also your father. They are also your old father. You can respect him like you love your father."
Yan Yu: …
Hey! This is not convincing, is it?
"Father, didn't you say that we have to do some things by ourselves. Others can't do it, and uncle can't do it. You can see that this is the case with this medicine. What you can think of, and what I can think of, are all with the help of others."
"Give me some time, let me think about it, and I don't believe it anymore. To do this, you have to work in a government office, become an official, and take an exam..." Yan Laoer said angrily: "I won't, I will definitely think about it." Find a way!"
Yan Yu: …
His father is generally not stubborn. This is how much resentment and...fear he has for reading!
…
The closer you get to Changping, the more boats on the river.
There are small boats, flat boats, and people who are like them on rafts.
When I saw their strange raft, I couldn't help but take a second look.
The current in this section is getting faster and faster, and it is inconvenient for a child like Yan Yu to hold the pole in front of people.
Only Yan Er can do it by himself.
Fortunately, it is just to adjust some directions, simply stroke twice, without much effort.
Yan's second son did something similar.
After doing this for another hour, I saw a bustling pier in the distance.
By the pier, there are big boats and small boats, which seem to be messy, but are actually tied to the shore in an orderly manner.
Yan Lao Er leaned over the pole carefully.
The yelling sound became more and more clear.
"That raft over there, lean in, lean in," someone yelled at him.
Yan Er Er pointed to himself and asked, "Did you call me?"
"Yes, it's you, who else is not you, it's strange, where did you come from? Hurry up and come here, there is a space here."
Two in one, change first and then change~
To write about the changes in my mental journey, the progress of the plot is a bit slow, and there are too many deletions and changes. I am always not satisfied, and I am really entangled~o(╥﹏╥)o
