Hard work

Chapter 148 Settling Accounts [Second Update]

Lan Hua'er couldn't help but sighed after hearing what Zang Lang said.

Hearing his confession, saying that he is willing to stay in the village—or stay in the Zhao family and accompany Lan Huaer to live a hard life, Lan Huaer is naturally happy.But besides being happy, I also felt that this was probably something that could not be done.

Even if she, Zhao Lanhua, never gets married, it is impossible to drag Zang Lang to stay at home with her and live a lonely life.She always felt that for this person, it would be more enjoyable and more healing to find a companion.

Of course, in a situation like hers, if she really can't get married, she doesn't care.But when it was Zang Lang's turn, she felt that she should find Zang Lang a good family no matter what.

"Alang, you don't think it's anything at the moment, so it doesn't matter. But if you see a happy girl in the future, you can tell me. As long as it's not engaged or married, I will give it to you no matter what. The girl said it back. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll go to the capital, find Chu Erlang’s door, and let him make the decision for you. It’s not difficult for a girl to say no. It’s not difficult, just remember to tell me. Oh, come on At that time, you can't help it."

Lan Hua'er laughed at him like this with a smile, the corners of Zang Lang's eyes were no longer red, but Mai Se's face was slightly flushed, and he whispered a little stammeringly:
"I, I won't. Don't make fun of me, little lady. If I say it like this, it will be a drag on others. I know my own body. And I don't have money. It's better not to start a family."

Orchid sighed:

"It's not like what you said. You are young and strong. I don't know what you did before, but you are doing fine now. Langzhong Yang told me that you are hurt I'm sick, my muscles and bones are not good, and it's easy to hurt when the weather changes, but doing farm work doesn't affect it. You have strength and can do things, and when I want to say goodbye to you, I will naturally burn your body deed , you don’t need to worry about the future. With a man like you at home, the others don’t care about anything, do they? "

Zang Lang was stunned for a moment, looked at Lan Hua'er, then lowered his gaze.

Lan Hua'er knew that he still had knots in his heart, always felt that he was already a useless person like this, and was always worried that he would drag others down.This matter is Lan Hua'er whispering in his ear every day, and it is impossible for him to suddenly relax.

He can only wait for what he wants to understand.

Anyway, Lan Hua'er felt that if he met a happy girl one day, he would probably be like a monkey who couldn't scratch an itch, his face would flush red and his body would itch from anxiety.At that time, he doesn't need others to say anything, he will think about being good to others and giving them a good life.

If a man doesn't even have the courage to say that he wants to marry her and live a good life for him after falling in love with him, then he is not a man, even if he can't find a wife for the rest of his life, he deserves it.

After all, Lan Hua'er felt sorry for this guy, and felt that he was close.But thinking about letting Zang Lang find a wife, she thought about it, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She thought about it, and thought it might be because she was used to living with Zang Lang and regarded him as a part of her life, and suddenly thought that this person was leaving, and felt a little unhappy.

Even if it was her elder brother and younger brother who didn't live with her as long as Zang Lang and her, the two of them could be considered to have supported each other and made it through.

Those who have lived in poverty together always feel different from others.

However, she immediately restrained her own thoughts, raised her head and showed a smiling face to Zang Lang, saying:
"Alang is good everywhere. If it were me, I would be satisfied to have such a man at home. I don't care about anything else. No one will say that you are bad. You are good everywhere."

Zang Lang kept his head down and didn't look at her. Hearing what she said, he was silent for a while before speaking:
"Little lady, what do you think of me?"

Lan Hua'er nodded vigorously, and thought that Zang Lang couldn't see with his head down, so he quickly said "hmm".

Zang Lang thought for a while, then said:

"Since the little lady is willing, let me follow her all the time. I am happy to follow the little lady. If the little lady is willing to let me go, I will go. But if the little lady doesn't dislike it, let me keep working with her."

Lan Hua'er was a little dizzy from what he said, and for some reason, the topic came back to this, and she couldn't help but feel a little stuck.

She thought about it for a while, and felt that Zang Lang was probably on the edge of his own horn at the moment. Anyway, it would not be possible to transfer it for a while, so she decided not to continue this topic.So he comforted him and said:

"Then you follow. Anyway, there will be many things in the future, who can say for sure. Maybe one day you will fall in love with a woman, or I will fall in love with a man, you can't always follow me. There will always be a solution then.”

It took Zang Lang a long time to reply in a low voice.

Lan Hua'er always felt that he was not in a good mood, but she didn't know how to tell him, so she could only talk about the topic first, and talk about the dog's stuff.

Fortunately, Zang Lang is not a entangled person.Lan Hua'er said that the dog was studying in a private school in the town, and he was distracted, and told Lan Hua'er what he knew about the rural examination.

This Dayin Dynasty implemented the imperial examination system, which is similar to the ancient China that Lan Huaer knew. It was also divided into four levels: children's examination, rural examination, general examination and palace examination.Zang Lang didn't know exactly what to test, and Lan Hua'er didn't know even more.But it doesn't matter, as long as Goudan knows.

Tongshi is for Tongsheng. It is a kind of selection before going to take the exam. There is no need to go all the way. There will be a unified exam every year in the town.Even for a little money, it is said that you can get a recommended child qualification from the private school, and you will be exempted from this exam.

Of course, not all the students recommended are rich, many of them are also talented.It's just that there is a quota for this nomination, and some people spend too much money, so they will naturally crowd out others.

"It's okay," Zang Lang said solemnly, "Scholars respect faith and ask for money, and most of them will seriously recommend it."

After you have the qualifications of Tongsheng, you have to take another examination as a student member. Only after passing the examination can you really participate in the rural examination.

However, starting from being admitted as a student, the person who has passed the exam can already be exempted from his own poll tax, so occasionally there will be richer people in the villages and towns who go to private schools, just to get the name of a student, and they will be exempted. Taxes, when the time comes, I will go home to farm.

As for the rural examination, it is necessary to go to the state city where each state is located to take the examination.

After passing the exam, he went to the capital to take the general exam before he was eligible to be an official.

Everyone who ranks in the examination is basically ready to be an official.It's just that what kind of official you are and how big your official position is depends on the palace examination.

The palace examination is equivalent to a modern interview, and it is a face-to-face conversation with the emperor.This is mainly not to look at the knowledge of those exams.Lan Hua'er always felt that this was actually asking the emperor to pick a few people she liked and put them next to him, and send those who didn't like him to be officials outside -- but she naturally didn't dare to say that, she was right. She didn't dare to catch Zang Lang, otherwise Zang Lang would think she was crazy.

After listening to Zang Lang's speech, Lan Hua'er took the money jar to do the math again, and felt that the money was a little too little.

Her brother Zhao Jingze from the Zhao family wanted to become a high official.

It doesn't matter whether you want to be a high-ranking official or a small official, but if you want to be an official, you have to take the exam in a proper manner.It's easy for Tong Shi to say, but it's just a test in the town, and it costs a little money, so it's not much different from now.

But the country test has to go to the state city, and the general test even has to go to the capital.If you pass the general examination, you have to wait for the palace examination, which will cost a lot of money.

Now she finally understands why in novels and TV dramas there are always scenes where some students go to Beijing for the exam half a year in advance.This is because they really need to pass half a year in advance.

After Lan Hua'er did the calculation again, her face became a bit listless, and she asked in a low voice:
"Lang, look at this, is it enough? I think it's still far away."

Zang Lang looked at her expression, then at the money jar, hesitated for a while, and finally said:
"not enough."

"Oh, I also think it's not enough. But it's not enough, what can I do? That's all I can get at home. But I don't think there is any need to be so anxious. Goudan is still young Well, I haven’t even passed the child’s test yet, so I don’t want to think about the problems so far in the future. Since I can earn the first sum of money, I will naturally earn more in the future. Oops, I can’t just grow a plant at home. From the land. I don’t have high requirements, as long as I can support myself, I’m not hungry... Of course, I have to be able to eat meat. Why do you think that the world wants to think about money and money.”

Zang Lang scratched his head, not knowing how to answer her.

But Lan Hua'er just said so casually.After she finished speaking, she still had to go back and think about how to earn more money for her brother to take the exam until he was a high official.

No way, she had already thought about it.If it didn't work, she went to Guan Ju to borrow money.Whether it is ten years or twenty years, she can always pay back the money.

Although she is not willing to take such a step, if it is really necessary, who will not be able to hold back this face.

Goudan really misses it, she and Gaihua will just let Goudan learn along the way.She could tell that Goudan really liked going to school, and every time he came back, he skipped to Langzhong Yang's place without being chased by others, and he seemed to be very happy when he came back.

Since this is the case, Lan Huaer felt that Goudan should not be trapped in the village because of money.
