Chapter 163: Departure
On the sixth day of October, the sky was clear.
A warship stopped at the wharf of Guangzhou Port, and the scholars in the uniforms of the people said goodbye to their relatives and friends, planning to go to the capital to take the examination and impact the most valuable Jinshi fame.
Although it is possible to raise a person as an officer, it is difficult for anyone to resist the temptation to become a non-commissioned officer. Therefore, instead of being old or talented, most people will choose to continue to take the entrance examination in order to step into the officialdom more beautifully.
There were 75 lifters in this year's Guangdong Township Examination, and a total of 43 people chose to go north with the ship, and the others did not all choose to give up the pursuit of Jinshi's fame, but each had their own plans.
Some people really don't have hope for the gold list, some people are suffering from entanglement, and some people plan to move to the capital for a protracted war, so some people don't choose to go north with the ship.
Lin Haoran, as the Xie Yuan of this year's township examination, naturally had no reason to give up the pursuit of Jinshi fame, so he had already decided to go to Beijing to take the exam. Now I can go north to Zhejiang by sea, which is undoubtedly an ideal route to go to the exam, so I chose to go with the warship.
It is thousands of miles from Guangzhou to Beijing, and it is undoubtedly a long journey.
Forty-three men who were going to go with the ship had gathered in front of the port, and like soldiers before going to battle, they were sent off by everyone, and some people brought good wine to practice for them.
Lin Haoran drank a bowl of wine, and said earnestly to Chen Kaiping, Sun Guangming and other people from western Guangdong who came to see him off: "My parents have passed away, leaving my sister to rely on me for many years!" This time I went to Beijing to take the exam, and I beg you to take care of one or two brothers today, and I am grateful! ”
This is indeed his heartfelt words, and now he is about to set off, but the more this time, the more reluctant and worried he feels. Especially the tiger girl is a wild girl with a full sense of justice, and she can't help but be even more worried.
"If you are a foolish brother, your sister is my sister, and we will protect her well!" Sun Guangming also drank the wine in the bowl and solemnly replied.
"This time we are in the middle of the move, it is really Brother Lin's work, and we dare not forget this kindness. You can rest assured that you can go to Beijing to take the exam, and we will definitely take care of the tiger girl! Chen Kaiping's face was solemn, and he also solemnly expressed his hand.
This is not a compliment, if it weren't for Lin Haoran who stabbed the matter to Jinyiwei at the beginning, and let Li Mu finally throw a mouse bogey, he chose to knock down those powerful candidates from Guangdong Middle School one after another. There will not be so many people in western Guangdong, including Zhao Dongcheng who ranked 70th and Chen Kaiping who ranked 69th.
Especially Chen Kaiping, he is not young, if he didn't suddenly come to Enke this year, he would have planned to give up the township test and concentrate on being a teacher. Now that he is "lucky" in the township test, he is naturally even more grateful.
Of course, even without this favor, they would have helped.
After all, these people are very likely to stop at lifting people, and they can only enter the ranks with the fame of lifting people, and they are destined to play a small role in officialdom. And Lin Haoran is Xie Yuan, and he is very likely to win the Jinshi, and with the care of Yin Tai, the teacher, the future can be described as very good.
Perhaps, some of them will become Lin Haoran's subordinates in the future, and they will need Lin Haoran's care at that time. Now that Lin Haoran entrusts his sister to them to take care of, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get closer, why won't he do his best?
It is precisely because of this that these people are very positive, and there is no perfunctory meaning in their words.
Lin Haoran's eyes fell on the tiger girl again, the tiger girl was wearing a beautiful light cyan dress today, but she looked sullen, her beautiful big eyes were full of resentment, and her mouth was still slightly pouting.
"Didn't I already allow you to play wherever you want in the three mansions of western Guangdong?" Lin Haoran looked at her like this, and couldn't help pinching her face.
Hu Niu raised her eyes and glanced at him, pouted and said in a long tone: "I still want to go to Beijing with you to take the exam, I don't worry about you!" ”
"Brother is such a big person, and now it's Xie Yuan again, what are you worried about!" Lin Haoran squatted in front of her funny, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "When my brother settles down, you will bring your people to me!" ”
Hu Niu has Ali's protection, and Wu Daoxing is an old Jianghu, so he is not too worried.
"Okay!" Hu Niu nodded reluctantly, looked up into his eyes and admonished again: "Brother, if you suddenly want me to go with you, write to me, and I will go to you immediately!" ”
"Got it!" Lin Haoran felt a little helpless in his heart, and nodded in response.
I'm afraid this girl is not just talking, I'm afraid she will really do this, and the journey of 2,000 kilometers really doesn't seem to be anything in her eyes. As long as he really writes a letter, this girl will definitely dare to go to the capital.
"And this jade plate, you bring it, Sister Mulan said that you can bless peace!" Hu Niu took out a jade plaque and handed it to Lin Haoran and told her seriously.
Lin Haoran wanted to ask clearly, whether this thing was given to him by Mulan, or whether this girl gave it to herself. However, thinking about the relationship between the three of them, he was more inclined to the latter, so he swallowed the words back to his mouth, saving himself from humiliation.
He said a few words to Hu Niu seriously, and then stood up, his gaze slowly swept over Wu Daoxing and Ali. It's just that the one who should be explained has already been said, and finally looked at Zhao Dongcheng and the woman beside him.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Dongcheng did not go north with the ship this time, but stayed to marry Niu Yinshan's daughter.
This decision is not a bad thing, after all, with Zhao Dongcheng's current strength, the possibility of wanting to be named in this year's gold list is still relatively small. It is better to stay and climb the big tree of the Niu family, which will benefit him or his family a lot.
"Senior brother, don't worry!" Zhao Dongcheng made a long gesture and said very seriously.
Lin Haoran patted his slender shoulder, and still trusted him quite a lot. Now that he has climbed the big tree of the Niu family again, as long as the wild girl Hu Niu does not break into a catastrophe, I believe he can solve it.
Parting is always sad, but there is no banquet in the world that will not be separated.
At the urging of an officer, forty-three men boarded the ship one after another, but none of them returned to the cabin, but stood on the deck, reluctantly waving goodbye to the men who saw them off.
After a while, the warship slowly sailed away from the dock, away from the crowd of people who saw them off, and everyone waved their hands vigorously.
Lin Haoran watched the girl who waved her little hand suddenly shed tears, and cried bitterly towards this side, at that moment his heart seemed to be broken, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
Suddenly, I wanted to hug the tiger girl tightly and take this girl to Beijing to take the exam together.
