Chapter 124 Firm Road

Having decided on this matter, there is no need to fall into sorrow anymore. Everyone sat around and looked at the two baskets of simple strategies that Wang Ge brought back. The more those who knew their value, such as Wang Weng, Wang Ge’s sisters and brothers, the happier they were.

Invisible. It can be said that any bamboo slips here are more valuable than the four remaining coins. If the students who copied them will be officials or Confucian teachers in the future, then their early writings will be even more precious.

Hu Tou invited Huan Zhen over. The bamboo slips were written in small seal scripts written in the Qin Dynasty. With their current knowledge, the sister and brother could not guess one of the ten seal scripts, and there was no way to classify them.

Every time Huan Zhen took out a scroll, he would carefully unfold it and tell the Wang Ge family what was written on it. When he praised a certain word alone, or when he couldn't confirm it, Wang Yun would take advantage of this opportunity to write it in his father's hand.

This describes the strokes of this text.

Most of the contents Liu Bo copied were the laws of the Qin Dynasty, or chapters and sentences in the "Erudition Chapter" written by Qin Taishi Ling Hu Wujing. Because the content was incoherent, even Huan Zhen couldn't confirm some Qin texts, so he told them truthfully and put them aside.

Afterwards, he either researched it with Yuan Yanshu or wrote letters to Master Zhang.

In this era, for ordinary people, the charm of writing is more important than money and food! Even if they don’t know why, they will still listen obsessively to Huan Zhen’s narration.

It's late.

One more drum.

Second watch of drums.

Huan Zhen stood up to say goodbye. He had another basket of letters and could only postpone the conversation until later.

The two sisters sent him out, the moonlight was cold, Wang Ge couldn't understand the meaning of Huan Zhen's words for a while. "Is Wang Jianggong still as firm as before in the path of being a craftsman?"

"Never hesitated."

"Then don't think about anything else for now."

Wang Ge...think about something else? Think about something else?

Huan Zhen did not hide it, and then warned softly: "Liu Bo is smart. In one or two years, he will definitely go to the capital to study at Taixue. After leaving, he will stay in Luoyang for at least three years."

Wang Ge blinked his eyes, looking envious and shocked and said: "Brother Liu at this age... is going to go to Taipei University?"

Wang Yun also admired him endlessly: "Taixue! Sister, Taixue is like the general you most yearn for to be the supervisor."

"Well, I know."

Huan Zhen pretended to pick lice... Oops, I've said too much. Liu Boquan carefully transcribed some twenty volumes of simple policies in pine smoke ink. According to the other party's simple temperament and poor family background, he was so willing to give up. Either Wang Ge was right.

He was kind, or he was interested in Wang Ge. So he kept reminding her, for fear that she would be interested in Liu Bo at such a young age, which would delay the most important years on the path of being a craftsman.

The words came back round. Huan Zhen's tone became more serious: "So don't be arrogant. You must know that smart people in this world are not only among scholars, but also among craftsmen candidates. When I return to Nanshan this time, I will spend all my free time

Use it to improve your craftsmanship. Well, there’s no need to give it away.”

Sister and brother bow to each other.

Wang Yun raised her head and looked at Wang Ge, fearing that she would be angry at being scolded by Brother Huan. "Brother Huan is strict for my sister's good."

"Yes, I know." She really knew, and at the same time, she was even more alert. She was already eleven years old, and there would definitely be other "Liu Bo" and other "Zhang Cai" around her in the future. She must never be with the young husband again.

Being alone, or receiving benefits from others for nothing. There are indeed few restrictions on women in this era, but when it comes to reputation, it is the girl who suffers after all.

Late at night.

Wang Yun fell asleep and occasionally murmured something in her sleep: "Sister..."

Wang Ge leaned over gently and pressed her forehead against her brother's. She was very tired, but she didn't want to sleep because she had to leave home as soon as she woke up.

When she went to Nanshan this time, she would not see her family until three months later. What she missed most was Hu Tou. It was not easy for her to raise this child. At that time, everyone thought that Hu Tou, who could not cry, would definitely not survive.

, even the eldest parents gave up. There was no way, the family was much poorer at that time than it is now, and they had to be busy clearing land and burying my mother. My father was so shocked that he couldn’t recover, but she didn’t want to give up. She just didn’t want to give up!

She put her brother in a basket and went from door to door begging them to tell her if they knew any woman who could feed the child? It didn't matter if she was far away, she would bring food and chickens at home, and she could crawl.

I have to crawl to beg someone, as long as the other person can give alms to my brother, even a few mouthfuls of alms will be enough, as long as he doesn't starve to death.

God favored her, and she got what she asked for. The eldest mother immediately took the tiger head and went there. If her grandson could live, who wouldn't ask for it and give it a try?

Those years... I don't even know how I survived them.

"Sister." Hu Tou was sleeping very uneasily, and waved his little hand softly. Wang Ge quickly caught it and held it in his palm.

Tiger head, don’t be afraid of temporary separation. When we, sister and brother, meet again, you will be braver than you are now. Me too!

Early in the morning, Wang Ge carried a basket on his back. Inside was a new bedding, two new clothes, new brown clothes, footwear, gloves, headscarf, handkerchief, and even a bamboo pot. They were all new, ranging from bedding to gloves.

The stitches are very dense, and every time a needle is threaded or a thread is pulled, it must be accompanied by the concern of the eldest mother and the care of the younger sister A Shu.

Time was the last thing she could hold back. She suppressed her sentimentality and waved goodbye to her family.

After walking a mile, there was a sound of horse hooves behind me.

A horse came galloping, and it was Huan Zhen who was holding his brother on the horse. Huan Zhen reined in his horse and stopped ten feet away.

Wang Yun recited loudly: "The accumulation of wind is not thick, and its large wings are unable to carry it. Therefore, for ninety thousand miles, the wind is blowing down. After that, it is today's Peifeng, who carries the blue sky on its back and Mozhi Yaolan, and then it is today."

Jiang Tunan."

Huan Zhen raised his voice: "Wang Jianggong, don't let down the high expectations of your family and Master Zhang! The carp has turned into a roc, you need to move forward bravely!"

"Yes! The same goes for Mr. Huan! In May, Mr. Huan will definitely win the first prize in the martial arts competition!" Wang Ge turned around, did not wave anymore, and walked happily.

It turned out that without knowing it, Adi had grown up and was about to stand in front of her to protect her. He recited "Xiaoyaoyou" to her because he was afraid that she was still sad about the separation, so he came after her to encourage her.

How could she live up to her family's concern and encouragement?! A would-be craftsman, she was determined to win!

In April, cuckoos crow on the eaves. They are also domesticated in Nanshan and are not afraid of people. They have been singing since morning, which made a group of primary school children want to hit them with stones.

It's been a long time since I've seen Chixiao. Xie heard that this thief crane is still in the moulting period and can't fly. It's really scary.

Wang Ge was not tired of cuckoos, and even regarded them as rattles to disturb the prospective craftsmen's exams. He wished they would chirp as frequently as possible.

During this month, in addition to practicing exegesis, she spent the rest of her time on self-improvement in craftsmanship, sleeping only two and a half hours every night. She also paid special attention to the utensils she encountered in life and thought about how to do it.

Transforming utensils. She invented a bamboo utensil for cutting tofu, which was very popular among chefs. When the bamboo utensil is pressed down, square-inch tofu cubes can be cut out in one go.

It’s just that time is really tight!

At the end of April, she went to the county to take the exam and got the pass card.

Examination location: South of the county, in an open space not far from the city wall, bisected by the central axis of the city entrance road. The open space on the east side is the examination room for the "quasi-craftsman" for the blacksmith category and the carpenter category. The west side

The open space is the examination room for the "Country Soldier Competition".

The start dates for several types of exams are May 15th.

So, is it possible that she met Chief Huan Ting?

On the fifth day of May, Wang Ge followed all the craftsmen candidates who were registered in the Xie family in Cuiyi County and went down the mountain in advance. After arriving at Jindu by boat, they walked to the examination room.

Chixiao, covered with feathers, soared in the sky and chirped loudly. Wang Ge waved to it regardless of whether it could see it or not.

The quasi-craftsman exam is finally about to begin! This exam can be called the starting line for the craftsman road!
Chapter completed!
