Chapter 182： want to open

The    embroidery was sent to Qi Xiuyuan by Fan Zijin. Qi Xiuyuan said happily, "I'm still worrying about this birthday gift, so you brought it here."

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the embroidery carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, where did you get this thing from? I also thought that if Xingzhou Prefecture couldn't find a suitable one, I would go south to find it."

"Speaking of it, it's also luck. I happened to see it when I went to Mu's family to eat that day. She brought her to Fucheng, but she didn't sell the price given by the embroidery workshop. That's the price." Fan Zijin said: "Big cousin, this embroidery has to be matched with good wood. If you can't find such a good thing in Xingzhou, it's better to have someone go south to find it, and then bring it back and call it embroidery. Workshop processing, there is still a month, it should be in time.”

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him, knowing that he was planning to go south. Don't think that he didn't know what these two **** were doing in the Fifth Battalion. If it wasn't for him to help cover it up, who would they think their actions would be able to hide?

Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to say it at first, but now he has to warn him, "Zijin, you are smart, you study hard, and you were admitted as a scholar at the age of eleven, even if your father gave you the place of Enyin, I will I also believe that your future achievements are not under him, not even under your father, so when you came to me, I did my best to invite you a famous teacher. It is impossible to count on Haoran to study, but I don’t want you to be too. School was wasted."

Except for Haoran, no one has ever talked to him about his future. His father will only let him let his brothers in the family blindly, but his mother will blindly let him study hard and not let his concubine brothers ride to the end. Up, seeing Qi Xiuyuan's seriousness, Fan Zijin couldn't help but become serious.

"I know what you and Haoran plan to do, but you have to remember that the fifth battalion is only for Haoran's practice, and you," Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "Actually, I prefer you to stay in the Fucheng to study, but you two brothers do not want to be separated. I also asked you to follow. Although I agree with you to be Haoran's military advisor, it is only for you to contact foreign affairs. You should still focus on your studies. The fifth battalion is only the logistics of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th battalions. , I don't understand where it came from that so many things took you two out of class time."

Fan Zijin's face couldn't help blushing. During this time, he really spent all his time on business, and he was able to spare an hour at night to study.

Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "In my heart, you and Haoran are the same, both are my younger brothers, so I hope you can figure out what you want and how to go this way. Zijin, you How long do you think you can go as a sergeant of Haoran? When it comes to marching, you are far less than Haoran, and when it comes to buying the heart of the army, you are not as good as Haoran. Xiao, I just think this is a sincere act and it is fun, but what about ten or twenty years later? You still have to rely on Haoran in the army, and your intelligence is completely useless, can you still think so?"

Fan Zijin's mood was agitated, and he fell down on the stool for a while, speechless.

Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think about it." When he opened the door, he said, "The business you are doing in private can only be done this time, how can my brother Qi Xiuyuan do that? A lowly thing?"

Fan Zijin watched Qi Xiuyuan leave, he kept telling himself that he was helping Haoran by staying in the fifth camp.

Haoran's logistics were almost all in his hands, and all the supplies in the army had to pass his hand. He thought he had helped Haoran a lot, but if Haoran hadn't been suppressed by the army, how could he have been able to hold the fifth battalion? supplies?

Fan Zijin couldn't help but feel confused, what path will he take in the future?

Or should I study and then go back to Lin'an to take the imperial examinations, pass the township examinations, then pass the palace examinations, and then slowly go up from the seventh rank to the sixth rank?

The civil officials of the Zhou Dynasty are indeed very honorable, but the promotion time is also very long. Even if he is talented and intelligent, he can be admitted to the Jinshi before the age of twenty-five and enter the Sixth Division. A sixth-rank junior official, even if he has excellent grades every year, he has to go out for at least six years, and then find a way to return to Beijing to report his work. He may be promoted to fourth-rank, and fourth-rank to third-rank is a big barrier. If you are lucky, it may be six years. just boil...

Sanpin, he was forty years old at that time, even if he had the confidence to be a slaughter, could his father see it?

And one day he cannot surpass his father, and one day he is bound by him.

But he doesn't like the civil service. He doesn't like martial arts and martial arts, and he has no talent, so what else can he do?

Fan Zijin went back in a low mood. Qi Haoran noticed that something was wrong with him, and asked: "What's wrong with you? Why do you feel like you've lost your soul when you return from a trip to Fucheng?"

Fan Zijin said disappointedly: "I don't know what path to take in the future." He explained his confusion to Qi Haoran in detail.

Qi Haoran curled his lips indifferently and said, "You and eldest brother think too much, just like you, how many people can be happy in this world? If nothing else, just say the emperor, he must not worry about death, every day I was thinking, what would happen if I lost the world? What if I became a subjugated army? I thought all day about whether to fight this battle, how to fight it, and what to do if I didn’t? If you want me to say, just look forward and don’t do it? If I like to practice martial arts, then practice martial arts. If I like to practice military, I will go to practice every day. If you want to do business, then do it. If you want to take the imperial examination in the future, you can take the exam. Anyway, you have been reading all the time, you are smart, and you will never be worse than others. If you don’t want to take the exam, forget it. Go out and have fun and come back when you are happy, how simple things make you think too complicated."

Fan Zijin frowned and said, "You always have to focus on it. How can you grab your beard and eyebrows like this?"

Qi Haoran tilted his head and asked, "Why not? That's what I did."

Fan Zijin choked for a moment and said, "What's the matter? You can practice martial arts when you are training troops, and it doesn't take long, and half of the training is handed over to General Ying Qian. This time is more, these few days. You are running more and more diligently towards Chenggutun."

Qi Haoran stared at him, "This training is the job of the general battalion, as long as I don't make mistakes, why should I keep staring? I want to be a general, not a coach."

Fan Zijin was silent for a while, and became thoughtful.

Qi Haoran has already muttered: "Don't you have a lot of time? Leave the business of the rabbit to the steward below, and you don't have to go south with the convoy. When you come back, listen to the report and check the ledger. If there is no problem, it will be over? There is a big brother staring at the top of the materials, no one will miss me, and there is experience to do accounting below, and the head of the library is guarding, so you can take a look every once in a while, and the rest of the time is not used for your own business. ?"

Qi Haoran looked at him suspiciously, "You don't want to study, so you deliberately made excuses to skip class, right?"

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes at him and said, "You think I'm you." But his heart was suddenly enlightened. He stared at Qi Haoran and thought, "It's a fool to be a fool!"
