After Gouzi finished his exam, he did not return to Shekou Mountain immediately. He temporarily stayed in a dilapidated 께 inn in the county town. After the exam is over, you have to wait for several days before the results are released and the candidates who have achieved the results are announced. In the past few days, Gouzi took the opportunity to wander around the county town and enjoy the bustling world of flowers and flowers in the county town. He used to eat meat that he couldn't eat often, but now he eats it every meal, more than ten at each meal. In addition, because of this exam, he also had a debt of 깊200 taels of silver. All the money he saved before was used to forge that sword, but now he doesn't have much money in his pocket. It happened that there were still some Dali Pills in the gourd. He poured these Dali Pills in the inn, packed them into a big bag, and prepared to sell them to Sima Yi. Sima Yi helped a lot from beginning to end when applying for the exam this time. He should at least thank them. The items he can now give as gifts, except Dali Pills, are several medicinal materials grown on the mountain. I found a ginseng that was more than 20 years old from the gourd and prepared to give it to Sima Yi as a thank you gift.
But when he took a look, he found something was wrong. The approximate year of ginseng can be seen from the reed heads. But after his ginseng was stored in the gourd, the concentration of spiritual energy increased a lot, which could easily cause problems and cause trouble. Thinking about it, he broke off the reed heads of the ginseng, which turned into residual ginseng, making it impossible to judge the year. Then he packed a few lotus leaves and stuffed them into his arms, and then walked towards the Huichun Hall with the sack on his back. "Oh, I finally found you." 괗Gouzi was chewing the meat, and when he walked into the drugstore, Sima Yi grabbed his sleeve. "My uncle wants to see you!" "Your uncle?" Gouzi was stunned for a moment. He didn't like the title uncle very much. "It's the one with the beard you saw in the examination room." Sima Yi added. "It's the county captain! Why is he looking for me?" 괗When Gouzi heard that he was a county captain, such a big official, he instinctively felt nervous. "I have 200 taels of silver from the county government. I will pay it back today." "Don't be nervous. My uncle is very kind. He just wants to talk to you, nothing else." Seeing the nervous look on Gouzi's face, Sima Yi smiled and comforted him. "Okay, please count these Dali Pills first." "Also, this ginseng is for you." Gouzi dropped the sack on the ground, took out the ginseng wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms and handed it to Sima Yi.
"Okay, thank you!" Sima Yi took the ginseng and looked at it, and found that it was a residual ginseng. He didn't pay much attention to it and put it in the medicine cabinet. After counting the Dali Pills, the two settled a total of 깊368 taels of silver before going out together. Sima Yi took Gou Zi into the most luxurious restaurant in the county - Hongyan Tower. The man in green clothes at the door still bowed his head and had a bright smile on his face. Last time Sima Yi could only dine on the 꺘 floor, but this time he led 괗 Gouzi straight to the fourth floor. There are not many guest rooms on the fourth floor, but each one is large and even more luxurious. When Sima Yi and Gou Zi walked into a guest room, they saw Sima Gang eating wine boredly. There were dozens of delicacies on the table, which looked very appetizing. There are also two beautiful women waiting beside him. 괗Gouzi had just eaten a dozen meat dumplings, and when he saw this table of delicacies, he felt hungry again. "Uncle, Zhang 괗苟껥 has brought you the scripture." Sima Yi stood at the door and saluted Sima Gang. 괗Gouzi also saluted and glanced at the sumptuous food on the table inadvertently. He glanced at the two beautiful women again and quickly lowered his head, his face red. He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his whole life. The skin was tenderer and whiter than tofu. It was swaying, and it felt like it could squeeze out water with just a gentle squeeze. How do these women in the city grow? I feel that all the good-looking women here come to Hongyan Tower. However, these women may be good-looking, but their skin is too tender to do the work of lighting fires and chopping firewood, and their waists and legs are not thick enough, so they are not good at farm work and giving birth to children. 괗Gouzi subconsciously compared these women with the 괗daughters of the Huang Laocai family. "Um!" "You all should retreat." Sima just hummed and waved his hand. Sima Yi and the two women understood, bowed and then left, closing the door behind them. There were only two people left in the room. The county captain sat casually at the table, and the dog stood respectfully 꺘 feet away. "Your name is Zhang 괗gou?" Sima Gang had no intention of asking Gou Zi to sit down, and continued to drink a glass of green wine by himself. "Return to the county captain, 께min Zhang괗gou." 괗Gouzi raised his hands and answered respectfully. Facing an official as high as the county captain, he did not dare to make any mistakes.
"Well, your cultivation is pretty good, but you just can't practice it properly. It's just a mess." Sima Gang recalled the swordsmanship demonstrated by Gouzi. You might say he knows martial arts, but his swordsmanship is incomprehensible to anyone, it's almost like playing monkey, he's a complete layman's. They are all fancy moves, and fighting has no meaning. Jumping so high, and holding a dozen sword flowers, what is the use of fighting? You have to say that he doesn't know martial arts. He can jump higher than anyone else, reach farther than anyone else, and is stronger than an ox. He can knock over all the stone slabs in the martial arts arena. He swung his sword and knocked the examiner away with one strike. For people like Gouzi, whether they know martial arts or not, they are speechless. More importantly, he used the Qi Watching Technique to take a look and discovered that this person at his age actually had a level of Qi training. Among people of the same age in the Sima family, no one can match him. "I wonder who you studied under?" "I'm sorry, my master has ordered me not to reveal his name to anyone. Please forgive me, Lord County Captain!" 괗Gouzi is an honest child. Since his master has told him not to reveal his identity as an old man to others, naturally he can't tell it, not even to death. "Since it is inconvenient to disclose it, I will not pursue the case for the time being. However, privately transmitting immortal magic is a serious crime." 괗Gouzi's heart skipped a beat, as expected it would be bad to deal with these officials. If you make the slightest mistake, they will catch you and punish you with a serious crime. He still didn't quite understand. The master taught him the skills, and he was willing to fight and suffer, but he didn't do anything harmful. How could he violate the king's law? "뀪If you practice your qualifications diligently, you will most likely be able to make further progress in the future, and you might even be admitted to the martial arts examination." When Gouzi heard this, he was very happy. It seems that the county captain has no intention of pursuing the crime of secretly teaching the exercises. Moreover, the county captain praised him for having the opportunity to make further progress in the future, implying that this time the martial arts scholar test should be 꿗깊. As for going one step further, as long as you pass the Juren exam, you will no longer have to pay taxes. You will be on the same level as the county magistrate. Who wouldn’t want to do that? "I would like to recommend you to join the Zhengwu Hall as a teacher, and you can continue to study at the same time. What do you think?" "Zhengwutang?" 괗Of course Gouzi knows this place. His cousin Zhang Youliang learns martial arts here, and the annual tuition is quite expensive. More importantly, just like applying for an exam, no one can sponsor you and you can't get in even if you pay money. "Of course the people are willing, thank you Lord County Captain!" It was a rare opportunity, so Gouzi quickly thanked him. Master has left and won't be back for a while. I need someone to guide me. "Okay, you can go back!"
Sima Gang waved his hand, indicating that the dog could go. 괗Gouzi glanced at the large table of delicious food inadvertently, then bowed and left. I was in a good mood when I walked to Hongyan Tower. Although the county captain didn't invite me to dinner, the scholar Wu was finally settled. I can be exempted from taxes on 100 acres of land and no longer have to do corvee labor. Later, in front of those county government officials, you can straighten your waist and speak, and you will not be manipulated by them at will. And he also got the opportunity to study in Zhengwu Hall. Then he went to the county government to pay back the 200 taels of silver fine he paid during the exam. I actually lost 200 taels in one exam. I was still a little heartbroken. I could buy a lot of pigs. Time passed again, and Sima Yi found Gouzi on the street in a hurry. "Do you still have the ginseng you gave me yesterday? I can buy it at a high price." "No 깊, I got that one by chance." 괗Gouzi shook his head. He can now make money selling Dali Pills and is not in a hurry to sell ginseng. Among the ginseng grown on Shekou Mountain, the oldest one is only over 20 years old. The older these medicinal materials are, the more valuable they are. He plans to cultivate them for a longer period of time before digging them up and selling them. Sima Yi was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no 깊, but then he asked again: "Brother Zhang, are you married?" "No, I'm a bachelor, why do you ask?" 괗Gouzi is a little confused, why do you suddenly ask this? "It's like this. I have a cousin who is about the same age as you, so I want to help you two get married." "oh……" 괗Gouzi responded with a 깊 sound and carefully looked at Sima Yi to see if he was a woman disguised as a man. Because he remembered a play he heard a long time ago, in which a woman dressed up as a man and met the protagonist, and then used the excuse to marry her sister to the protagonist. However, when Gouzi saw Sima Yi's Adam's apple, he was still a little disappointed. "I still don't want to start a family."
