Guo Yuanchang is seeking fame.

Because from the conversation, You Hongyin was sure that Guo Yuanchang was not an ignorant person.

Then everything that happened after that has an explanation.

Guo Yuanchang doesn't work as someone's staff, he doesn't do business or farm, he teaches his son every day, or goes out to meet with friends, all he does is for the sake of reputation, hoping that someone will recommend him to be an official.

Some people may wonder and wonder, with so many professions in the world, do you have to be an official?

Let's not talk about political ambitions here, let's just talk about the status of the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family looks down on poor scholars, but the reality is that the aristocratic family does have the capital to look down on poor scholars. Nowadays, everyone in the court is from aristocratic families, and poor scholars can probably be a county magistrate. Even if a genius comes out of a poor family, he can at most It is a person who, as a staff member or head secretary, chooses his lord and assists him, so as to seek opportunities for his family to be promoted from a humble family to a family in the future.

The disadvantaged families are not necessarily poor people. To be precise, they are all ordinary people. What they lack compared to the powerful families are outstanding and famous ancestors, a long inheritance and a vast network of contacts.

In the aristocratic family, there are those who can enjoy silk and satin, delicacies from mountains and seas while lying down, and some like the Guo family are gradually declining, but even if they decline, they have not given up the traditions of the aristocratic family and the rules of the gentry. Why?Because even if they are poor and have nothing to eat, in terms of social status, they are higher than those common people who have money to eat.Whether it is to fill vacancies in officials, to convey ideas, or to popularize fame, as long as they maintain their style and reputation, they will always have the opportunity to make a comeback and turn over overnight. Fame and family background are their most precious wealth.

This is the current status of the Guo family. As a branch, they are not as good as the main family of the Guo family, but Guo Xi's grandfather did use all the assets and property of the family, as well as an official position, to establish a family style for the Guo family that is different from the main family. '.As long as Guo Yuanchang can return to the officialdom again and set up the Guo family, then the Guo family will tide over the difficulties, and the future can be expected.

You Hongyin asked Guo Yuanchang side-by-side about those gatherings he participated in, and generally the people he came into contact with were not really powerful, and most of them were descendants of the big surnames or descendants of aristocratic families who had lost their ambitions.

So he has never been able to get in touch with the real dignitaries, and the Guo family has never offered to help. It must be that Guo Xi's grandfather and the family had a mess back then. Although the Guo family is a powerful family, they did not dare to offend the people in power after all. The Sima's family sold a branch, and everyone reconciled.

And as long as the Sima clan who killed Guo Xi's grandfather is still in power, then Guo Yuanchang actually has no chance at all.

Guo Yuanchang must have struggled to hide in the mountains and forests when everyone was running for their lives.

Was it really safe to hide in the mountains at that time?If that would be safe, why did everyone flee outside instead of all going to the mountains?In the mountains and forests, there is no food, there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, fierce tigers and wolves, it must be difficult to survive.

So Guo Yuanchang took such a risk, is it really for the sake of a virtuous name of returning to the mountains and forests?

It is true for the sake of a good name, but it is definitely not just for the sake of a good name.

He is observing the situation.

The Hu people were able to cross the border and come to Luoyang, they must not have fought all the way, so they can only take advantage of the chaos and rush for thousands of miles, maybe there are some ulterior motives behind it, just to have a reason to send troops to Luoyang.

The Sima family practiced a system of enfeoffment, and the emperor of Luoyang was relatively stupid, so the brothers and uncles who were enfeoffed were probably not very peaceful.

This is also the reason for the subsequent chaos in the world.

Guo Yuanchang is very clear that the current emperor is in power, he must not be reused, so it is not bad for Luoyang to change the owner.

After the war, there was a shortage of talents, so I, a well-known branch of the Guo family, had the opportunity to be recommended.

The reason for not being an official is probably that you don't like fame and fortune. There are many reasons for being an official, such as for the sake of the world and the people, as small as for the sake of peace or for the sake of advocating literature.

And he succeeded.

As for the expulsion of his second son, who had supported the family for three years, the reasons were probably nothing more than those few.

You Hongyin doesn't have enough information for the time being to judge, but what can be concluded is that it's not just because people from aristocratic families can't be dealers.

When You Hongyin listened to Chen Xiquan's own analysis, the other party couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He finally accepted that "the three views of the world are such a strange setting". Come here and refresh the trip of the three views.

"People from aristocratic families can only trust three points of what they say, especially people like Guo Yuanchang who are very persistent in reviving the family." You Hongyin said.

Chen Xiquan was speechless.

You Hongyin said: "There are still many things to do in the future, take your time, don't be in a hurry, now it is more practical to sacrifice your own five internal organs temple first."

"Pfft, you can't bear this life without oil and water? After I became a farmer, I ate meat for the last time." Chen Xiquan said: "I never knew that eating meat is such a happy thing. But, How did you get the meat? The Guo family is very poor, even if it is rich, the Zhang family will not use it, she is a very qualified housewife and has a strong sense of risk prevention."

You Hongyin said: "If you don't have meat, you can catch it yourself. Now is not a time of famine."

Chen Xiquan said: "Then be careful, if Guo Yuanchang says that you are a hunter butcher, you may be scolded again."

"Don't worry, there are many nobles who are good hunters. It doesn't matter in this respect, but you can't do it often." You Hongyin said.

Sure enough, the hares that You Hongyin hunted with bamboo arrows were welcomed by the Guo family, and when Guo Yuanchang asked about the hunting method, You Hongyin reasoned that he had learned something from practicing pot throwing, so he directly hunted them back with bamboo arrows Good luck, hare.

Guo Yuanchang didn't say whether he believed it or not, and he didn't ask any more questions anyway.

As for Chen Xiquan, he had long been succumbed to You Hongyin's arrow throwing technique.

In You Hongyin's world, he can neither cultivate immortals nor martial arts, but he can still practice the method of breathing to strengthen his body a little bit. After nearly a month, it is naturally effective.

Soon, You Hongyin discovered Guo Yuanchang's unusual attention to him.

Guo Yuanchang obviously felt that the second son's talent was not bad, and he could use it.

He has always regretted that the four sons in the family, including his daughter, are not talented. One must know that being a child prodigy is also a way to improve the family's reputation.For example, Langya Wang Family.

But after thinking about it carefully, he gave up again. The skill of throwing pots is not the right way after all. If it is self-defeating, it is just a joke.

However, Guo Yuanchang felt that the second son could cultivate his military ability a little bit. You must know that people from aristocratic families consider themselves elegant and are not interested in rough martial arts. It is not a fool, how could it be possible for the poor family to take power, so only the low-level martial arts are held by the poor, and the high-level ones are reluctantly taken over by the family members, which makes the family members who understand military affairs very popular.

But in the end, Guo Yuanchang didn't really spend his energy on educating the second son, because he knew very well that his family lost the support of the master's family, unless he could return to official career and have certain rights, otherwise, even if the second son was really capable, he would not be able to Guo Yuanchang would not allow his son to do high-level martial arts, but low-level martial arts.

Because it's embarrassing.

"Qu Zhirong's Brigade" undermines the consensus of the gentry, and being a high-ranking military officer is originally for real power, for the country and the people, and there is still a fig leaf.

So I still concentrate on writing, hoping to have opportunities in the future.

When Guo Yuanchang was thinking, You Hongyin was also thinking about how to avoid disaster, and by the way, started the first step of his own change.

Some people say that if you want to change the world, you have to start with yourself. You Hongyin very much agrees with this statement. Therefore, it is not a matter of a day or two to change this strange environment, let's start with the Guo family.

Although You Hongyin felt for the first time that his goal this time might not be achieved.

It is not difficult to change one's destiny, but one cannot use violence or tactics to change one's mind. Even in this environment, even rights can have little effect.It takes time and enlightenment to work slowly, and at the same time, the real power system needs to be changed, which is to destroy the aristocratic family.

You Hongyin felt that unless he really carried out a massacre and wiped out all the aristocratic families, it would be impossible to destroy the aristocratic and noble families at this stage.

However, it is impossible for him to really choose to have a massacre, that would be too sad.

Fortunately, the target of this task is not a paranoid and extreme person, and his temper is relatively easy to fool.

You Hongyin wasn't under too much pressure.

"Father really cares about mountains and rivers and doesn't care about fame and wealth, but he still thinks that the family's clean reputation cannot be tarnished." You Hongyin asked directly without bending the ball.

Guo Yuanchang suddenly stopped asking about this matter, he was still his own son, unnaturally surprised for a moment, but then asked back: "Why did Xi'er say that?"

You Hongyin said: "It's just a sudden emotion. Luoyang is indeed a city, prosperous and prosperous, but when you think about it carefully, the style of writing is not the most prosperous place. All the famous academic masters in the world do not settle in Luoyang. There is no one in our family. As an official, I have no contact with the family, and my family is not in Luoyang, so why do I have to live here?"

Guo Yuanchang frowned: "Your grandfather built three huts just to show people in the world that our Guo family is not attached to power or afraid of power. How can we just abandon it at will? This is our homeland. No matter how bad it is, you can't leave it easily."

You Hongyin said: "The character of not fearing power is inherited in the blood of my Guo family members, and has nothing to do with the house. Father, you have put the cart before the horse."

Seeing this, Guo Yang stopped immediately: "Second brother, pay attention to your attitude."

You Hongyin said: "I don't talk about my status when I study, I just have doubts, so I want to ask my father for advice."

Guo Yuanchang asked back: "So, what do you think we should do?"

You Hongyin said: "Grandfather offended the emperor. Although it is said that everyone in the family is not afraid of the imperial power, it does not mean that they will offend the royal family for my Guo family. This is why my father's family background is not bad, and he has a good reputation. Good, but the matter of Zhongzheng rating has been missed.”

Only after the grade is determined by Zhongzheng Ratings can you be qualified to be an official, but not everyone can participate in Zhongzheng Ratings.

Family background and character are indispensable, and even appearance is one of the important factors.

Yes, good looks are popular everywhere, and it is the same in this kind of serious rating meeting.

Guo Yuanchang looked at the second son and asked, "How did you know these things?"
