The embroidery was sent to Fucheng by Fan Zijin to Qi Xiuyuan. Qi Xiuyuan said happily, "I was still worrying about this birthday gift, so you sent the things here."

Qi Xiuyuan looked at the embroidery carefully, nodded and said, "That's right, where did you get this thing? I was thinking that if you can't find a suitable one in Xingzhou Prefecture, you'll have to look south."

"Speaking of it, it's just luck. I happened to see her when I went to Mu's house for dinner. She brought her to Fucheng, but the price offered by the embroidery workshop was not suitable and she didn't sell it. If she sold that day, it would be worthless for us to buy again. This is the price." Fan Zijin said: "Brother, this embroidery needs to be matched with good wood. Xingzhou Prefecture can't find such a good thing, so it's better to have someone look for it in the south, and then call it embroidery when it comes back. Workshop processing, there is still a month, it should be too late."

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him and knew that he was planning to go south. Don't think he didn't know what these two bastards were doing in the Fifth Camp. If he hadn't helped cover it up, who did they think they could hide from them?

Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to say it at first, but now he has no choice but to warn him, "Zi Jin, you are smart, you study hard, and you were admitted as a scholar at the age of eleven, even if your father gave your uncle the place of Enyin, I I also believe that your achievements in the future will not be inferior to him, or even your father, so when you come to me, I will try my best to hire you a famous teacher. It is impossible to expect Haoran to study, but I don’t want you to I wasted my studies."

Except for Haoran, no one has ever talked to him about his future. His father would only let him let his brothers in the family blindly, but his mother would just let him study hard and not let the brothers in the family ride to the end. Seeing Qi Xiuyuan's solemnity, Fan Zijin couldn't help becoming serious.

"I know what you and Haoran are planning, but you have to remember that the Fifth Battalion is only for Haoran to practice, and you," Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "Actually, I want you to stay in Fucheng to study, but the two of you brothers don't want to be separated. I also let you follow. Although I agree with you to be Haoran's military adviser, it is only for you to contact foreign affairs. You should still focus on studying. The fifth battalion is just the logistics of the first, second, third, and fourth battalions. , I don’t understand why it has so many things that the two of you don’t even have time for class.”

Fan Zijin's face turned red. During this period of time, he had indeed devoted all his time to 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, they are both 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 Haoran's military adviser? You are far behind Haoran when it comes to marching and deploying formations. You are even worse than Haoran when it comes to buying soldiers' morale. Little, I just think it’s fun, but what about ten or twenty years later? You still have to rely on Haoran in the army, and your ingenuity is completely useless, can you still think so?”

Fan Zijin was so emotional that he fell down on the stool for a while, speechless.

Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully." When he opened the door, he said, "The business you do in private is only allowed once, how can my brother Qi Xiuyuan do that? A lowly thing?"

Fan Zijin stared blankly at Qi Xiuyuan leaving, he kept telling himself that he stayed in Wuying to help Haoran.

Haoran's logistics are almost all in his hands, and all the supplies in the army have to go through his hands. He thinks he has helped Haoran a lot, but if Haoran was not suppressing in the army, how could he hold the fifth battalion? Supplies?

Fan Zijin couldn't help feeling confused, what path would he take in the future?

Or should I study and then go back to Lin'an Prefecture to take the imperial examination, pass the township examination, the general examination, and then the palace examination, and then slowly work my way up from the seventh rank to the sixth rank?

The civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty were indeed very honorable, but the promotion time was also very long. Even if he was talented and intelligent, he could be admitted to Jinshi before the age of twenty-five and entered the Six Departments. For a junior official of the sixth rank, even if he is excellent in the performance appraisal every year, he will have to be released for at least six years, and then find a way to return to Beijing to report on his work. He may be promoted to the fourth rank. From the fourth rank to the third rank is a big hurdle. just cook up...

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

And every day he couldn't surpass his father, he was bound by him every day.

If he doesn't like civil servants, he doesn't like martial arts and military skills, and he has no talent, so what else can he do?

Fan Zijin went back feeling a little depressed, Qi Haoran found out that something was wrong with him carelessly, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you? Why did you go to Fucheng and come back like you lost your soul?"

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

Qi Haoran curled his lips indifferently and said: "You and elder brother think too much, you think like you, how many people in this world can be happy? If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the emperor. Thinking, what if I lose the world? What if I become an army of subjugation? I think all day whether this battle will be fought or not, what if it is fought, and so what if it is not fought? I am so worried, what else can I do? If you want me to say, just look ahead? I like to practice martial arts, so I practice martial arts. I like to practice soldiers, so I go to practice soldiers every day. If you want to do business, then do it. In the future, if you want to take the imperial examination, go for it. Anyway, you have been reading books, you are smart, and you will never be worse than others. If you don’t want to take the exam, forget it. Follow me, if not Go out and play when you are happy, and come back when you are happy, how simple things make you think too complicated."

Fan Zijin frowned and said, "You have to focus on something, how can you grab the beard and eyebrows?"

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 while you are training soldiers, and it doesn't take long, and you also leave half of the military training to the general manager of the battalion. You ran to Chenggutun more and more diligently."

Qi Haoran stared at him, "This military training is the job of Mr. Yingqian. I just need to watch and make no mistakes. Why should I keep watching? I want to be a general, not an instructor."

Fan Zijin was silent for a moment, then thoughtful.

Qi Haoran had already muttered: "Don't you have a lot of time? Leave the business of the rabbits to the steward below, and you don't have to go south with the convoy. When you come back, you can listen to the report and check the books. If there is no problem, then it's over? The fifth battalion There is a big brother staring at the materials, no one will miss me, and there are experience accounts below, and the warehouse head guards, so you just go to see it every once in a while, and the rest of the time is not used to do your own business ?"

Qi Haoran looked at him suspiciously, "You don't want to study, so you deliberately find an excuse to skip class?"

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes at him, and said, "You thought I was you." However, his heart suddenly became clear, and he stared at Qi Haoran and thought, what a fool is blessed with a fool!
