Chapter 193 The goal is clear
Shen Zhiqiu said with a righteous look on his face: As a scholar, although the imperial examination has not been restored yet, he believes that in the near future, the King of Yan will be able to unify the world and restore the imperial examination.
He only hopes to follow the footsteps of Prince Yan, review his studies when he arrives in the north, and hope to pass the imperial examinations in the future, so that he can repay, remember, and be grateful for the prince's kindness in taking him in.
Emma, I said this because when Shen Zhiqiu was communicating with Fu Huaian before, he also learned that the King of Yan had issued a decree to accept refugees fleeing famine in the south.
Moreover, all other things are inferior, only reading is superior.
These passionate words stunned even Ah Chi who had just come in.
Fu Huaian's eyes turned more serious when he looked at him.
In Ah Chi's opinion, their young master asked to stay and said that they wanted to stay in the military camp, especially to stay with the young master.
For the person in front of me, it must be a matter of soaring to fame, but I didn't expect that he was so focused on studying for the imperial examination.
Although he was a servant, even the scholars who passed the imperial examinations would usually fawn on him, mainly because they wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with their young master.
But Shen Zhiqiu had the opportunity to marry the young master right before his eyes, and the young master was recruiting him personally, but he gave up because of his ambition since childhood.
What does this mean? It means that the person in front of me is extremely confident. Of course, even if he was a junior or senior at a young age, he was not blindly confident.
Fu Huaian believed that everyone has their own aspirations. Although he was optimistic about Shen Zhiqiu's leadership ability, he was devoted to studying for the imperial examinations, so he couldn't force him.
What's more, although he was a military man, he had also been studying since childhood, and he did not have the ordinary idea that generals and literati did not get along.
Moreover, Shen Zhiqiu has gone through the hardships of fleeing famine, being displaced, and suffering, but he has still maintained his original aspirations. This is truly rare and shows that he is a man of ambition.
The next day, when Fu Huaian led his troops to leave, he asked Ah Chi to deliver the scattered silver that he had looted from the bandits to the people of Shenjia Village.
This means that these things do not need to be confiscated, and it can be considered a reward for their suppression of bandits.
Even though he rode far away on his horse, the people in Shenjia Village were still reluctant to let him go.
Shen Zhiqiu, Shen Youyou, and everyone in Shenjia Village didn't take this encounter seriously.
The reason is simple. The tokens were taken back by others. They are just ordinary people. Because of the kindness of their father-in-law in the past, they were taken in and not directly taken to become military households. This is already a rare opportunity.
What's more, we are not of the same kind at all, and I don't think we can have any further communication.
Not to mention, if the imperial examination is restored one day, and Shen Zhiqiu passes the examination and becomes an official, is it possible that he will meet her?
That's a very small chance. You have to know that even if you pass the imperial examination, you will only be a small official of the sixth or seventh rank. How can you be worthy of this and be able to enter the family of a duke?
If you pass the imperial examination, you will be assigned to a small place and work as a county magistrate for a few years. If you perform well, you will be promoted gradually.
In ancient times, it was not easy to get promoted. Most people had no connections or backing, and would probably end up being the lowest-ranking county magistrate after serving as an official for their entire lives.
Don't think about meeting him in court, the chances of luck are slim. You should know that as far as he can remember, the Daqing Dynasty stipulated that only officials of the fifth rank and above were qualified to attend court.
But they were only allowed to stand outside the palace. If one wanted to enter the palace, one had to be a prince, duke, marquis, or an official of the third rank or above.
In ancient times, people often said that they wanted to find a rich son-in-law. This was the reason why they all wanted to find a son-in-law who could enter the throne and attend court.
In fact, it is because, among the waist badges worn by officials when attending court, princes and ministers above the third rank wore pure gold tortoise waist badges, symbolizing their noble status.
He can even attend the morning court and enter the inner palace. How can this son-in-law not be precious?
As for Fu Huaian's rank, to be honest, Shen Zhiqiu really didn't know, but his father was a duke of the first rank, and even though his grandfather was old and had abdicated the throne, he still married the only legitimate princess of the dynasty.
The distance between this group of people and others can really be said to be equivalent to the distance between Tang Sanzang and others when they went to obtain Buddhist scriptures, which is a huge gap.
Now we just need to think about living our own lives, why think too much!
What's more, Shen Zhiqiu thought, who knows when the imperial examination will be held, and even if it is held, he may not take it.
Don’t ask why. The reason is that he feels guilty and always feels that he has nothing to do with being a scholar.
However, meeting Fu Huaian and the others was also beneficial, because this time the goal was clear, and a few hundred miles ahead was the Jeju City under the jurisdiction of King Yan.
Achi came over specifically to explain to them that there was a soup kitchen for refugees there, and they should go there first and wait to be assigned a place.
This time the news is definitely accurate.
On the third day, when Shen Youyou and his companions set out again, there were many refugees around them.
But these refugees did not need to worry so much, as they had dealt with the people of Shenjia Village before. After all, they had taught them how to dig up Pueraria root and cook it for food.
And there is also Mr. Meng's family. This Mr. Meng has been tested, and everyone in Shenjia Village believes that he is a family they can get along well with in the future.
The things they left in the cave were well guarded and not a single thread was touched.
It will remain the same as it was before you went up to the village.
However, most of the refugees only knew that someone was suppressing the bandits, but they didn't know who the general was. Apart from the people from Shenjia Village, the only other person was the third lady of the Yongkang Earl's Mansion.
After the Third Miss left the entrance of Shen Youyou's cave yesterday, she went to Xiama Village twice.
She was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and was completely fascinated by a group of refugees who had never seen the world.
Many people couldn't bear to take their eyes off her.
But Fu Huaian, whom the Third Miss wanted to meet, went into the tent and never came out again, like an old man in his den.
Therefore, after Fu Huaian left early this morning, the Third Miss also got on the carriage and left first.
Of course, this person has nothing to do with Shen Zhiqiu and his group. They are not related at all.
To put it bluntly, they were just passers-by, so no one noticed when they left.
Shen Youyou sat on a two-wheeled cart that had been modified specially for everyone to take a day off.
There were several layers of palm mats, and several layers of wild cotton quilts on top.
That's right, Shen Zhiqiu deliberately stayed one more day yesterday. The first reason was that he didn't want his daughter to walk with an injury. You know, he was really heartbroken this time.
The second is that you can walk on smooth official roads in the future. Of course, it is not very smooth and there are many potholes, but it is much better than in the mountains.
The cart could hold little and was not big enough for people to sit on, so they simply removed the wheels, cut down trees to make wooden boards, and turned it into a flatbed cart.
Although there are no oxen or horses, a cart pulled by people can still carry more things than a cart.
Not only do the little kids and grandpa no longer have to walk, even dad and mom can rest on the cart when they are tired.
The strong laborers pulled it forward, and they also thought they had plenty of strength.
Although Shen Youyou was injured, she was still excited:
"Mom, did you hear that? In a few hundred miles, we will be able to get a place to settle down. It will probably only take about ten days to travel. I wonder if we can get a house and land when we get there."
"You're so happy, what are you thinking about? You're dividing houses and land. In the past, when there was a disaster, we just gave people some container houses to live in temporarily. I noticed that you're always thinking about happy things."
Li Jingshu couldn't help but complain in a voice that only the two of them could hear that her daughter was just daydreaming.
