Because of the brain concussion, if someone is possessed again, the internal brain injury is not a big deal, but the external injury is a bit scary.

You Hongyin naturally refused to wait for Guo's mother to invite a Taoist priest to feed the talisman water. It's not that he doesn't believe in Taoism, but he doesn't believe in the current Taoism. At least, it is unlikely that there will be any supernatural powers in this world. This is determined by the nature of the world, not human power.

So You Hongyin struggled, pulled his little sister over, and asked her to pick some prickly lettuce in the field.

The so-called prickly lettuce is actually a wild vegetable that can be seen everywhere in the field. Every spring, it will bloom purple-red flowers. Because this wild vegetable itself has thorns, it tastes a bit bitter and is a bit irritating when cooked. It is not as delicious as shepherd's purse. If it is not a year of famine, this wild vegetable mostly grows in the wilderness and no one cares.

But in fact, its scientific name is small thistle, and its main function is to cool blood and stop bleeding, clear heat and reduce swelling. Although the effect is not as good as Panax notoginseng, it is too simple to obtain it compared to Panax notoginseng.

Although Guo Xiang was young, she could still pick some wild vegetables in the fields. After running out for a while, she came back with a bunch of prickly lettuce, which she had washed by the water. Then the girl dried the washed prickly lettuce a little, and immediately crushed it and applied it on You Hongyin's head.

"Brother, does it really work?" Guo Xiang asked timidly.

"Don't worry, it will heal soon." You Hongyin comforted the girl.

He was injured and lying in bed. Because the amount of bleeding was not large, and he was awake and did not cry, his family thought that the injury was not serious. You Hongyin thought that instead of drinking the magic water, it would be better to use some herbs with ordinary effects to treat it. Chen Xiquan survived, so he should not have any big problems.

Sure enough, after applying the compress, the wound on the head stopped bleeding, and You Hongyin gradually felt relieved: "Xiang'er, go play, and take a rest."

When Chen Xiquan was expelled, Guo Xiang did not say anything. In fact, it was not her fault. Guo Xiang was engaged as soon as she returned to Luoyang. She was only a 14-year-old child at the time. Even if she wanted to, she was afraid that she would be powerless.

You Hongyin felt that the only person in the Guo family who really cared about Guo Xi was Zhang, and Guo Xiang was hard to say.

But now he didn't have anyone else to use, and with his own ability, he was not afraid of not being able to subdue a little girl.

When Guo Xiang heard her second brother asking her to go out and play, she wrinkled her nose, scratched her cheek with her finger and said, "You are so old, and you are still fighting with your elder brother. If you break your brain, you will be hurt. Are you ashamed?"

When it was time to feed, Zhang came in with a pottery bowl. The Guo family had only three thatched houses, and another house was built to serve as a kitchen and warehouse. Guo Xiang and Guo lived in one room, Guo Yuanchang and Zhang lived in one room, and the remaining three brothers of Guo lived in one room. Fortunately, although the bed was only made of wooden boards, at least the three brothers were separated.

"Xiang'er, go to eat. I'll come to your second brother."

"Yes, mother." Guo Xiang bowed and went out by herself. Eating was still very attractive to her.

Zhang was not old, just in her early thirties, but she no longer looked as beautiful as a flower in the past, but only worked hard.

You Hongyin understood that it was really hard to have four children and take care of a large family, and only one person to help with housework on weekdays.

Although there are two families of servants in the house, the wife of one of the families has to take care of the daily life of the two families of servants, and only the wife of one family of servants can help the mistress deal with household affairs. These four things, seemingly food, clothing, housing and transportation, are too heavy to describe.

"Come, Xier, drink millet soup." Zhang wanted to feed her, but was rejected by You Hongyin. He took the bowl and drank it elegantly and quickly.

Seeing this, Zhang was relieved and felt that her son should be fine.

She really raised the child with great difficulty, and she really didn't want to lose it again.

In fact, she had given birth to two children in her early years, but she didn't raise them. It was only since Yang'er that she was able to raise them.

"Don't be so naughty in the future, mother will worry." Zhang couldn't help but say.

Seeing this, You Hongyin comforted her: "It will never be like this in the future, please rest assured mother."

Zhang always felt that the child seemed to be different, but she didn't go into it. She was really busy, and Guo Yuanchang was teaching in the education, and she couldn't intervene.

The days of recuperation passed quickly. You Hongyin was really tired of drinking millet porridge after more than ten days, and thought of many ways to eat in bed.

The Guo family's affairs are not accomplished in a day, so take your time and take care of your own stomach first.

The scabs on the wound fell off, and You Hongyin was finally able to get out of bed. His head was no longer dizzy, and he should be completely healed.

After the injury healed, the previous study schedule with Guo Yuanchang naturally resumed. You Hongyin just kept silent at first, without showing any abnormality.

He needed to observe what kind of person Guo Yuanchang was with his own eyes, not through Chen Xiquan's eyes.

The owner of the memory will always process the memory, whether it is beautification or ugliness, it will make You Hongyin make wrong judgments, which is why You Hongyin needs to observe with his own eyes.

Although Guo Yuanchang did a series of strange things later, was he really a "famous scholar" who was stupid because of reading? Or was he really already infected by the customs of this world, and was he really in line with the "famous scholar" personality as he did?

You Hongyin spent two days with him and finally determined that Guo Yuanchang was neither of the above two types of people.

What he did was just seeking fame.

Chapter 178 The Elegance of Celebrities (V)

Guo Yuanchang was seeking fame.

Because from the conversation, You Hongyin was sure that Guo Yuanchang was not a foolish person.

Then everything that happened afterwards was explained.

Guo Yuanchang did not work as a staff member for others, did not do business or farm, and every day he either taught his son or went out to meet friends for a chat. What he did was just for a reputation, hoping that someone would recommend him to be an official.

Some people may be surprised and puzzled. With so many professions in the world, must one be an official?

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

The aristocratic family looked down on the poor scholars, and the reality is that the aristocratic family does have the capital to look down on the poor scholars. Now, all the people in the court are from aristocratic families, and the poor scholars can probably be a county magistrate or something like that. Even if there is a genius in the poor family, he can only be a staff member or a chief clerk at most, choosing his own master and assisting him, so as to seek opportunities for his family to be promoted from a poor family to an aristocratic family in the future.

Poor families are not necessarily poor. To be precise, they are all commoners. What they lack compared to the aristocratic families is excellent and famous ancestors, long-standing heritage and extensive connections.

Among the aristocratic families, some can enjoy silk and satin, delicacies from mountains and seas, and some are gradually declining like the Guo family. However, 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 no food to eat, in terms of social status, they are higher than those commoners who have money to eat. Whether it is filling vacancies as officials, conveying ideas, or popularizing reputation, as long as they maintain a good family style and reputation, they will always have the opportunity to make a comeback and turn over overnight. Reputation and family history are their most precious wealth.

This is the current situation 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 and establish the Guo family, the Guo family will overcome the difficulties and have a promising future.

You Hongyin asked Guo Yuanchang indirectly about the gatherings he participated in. Generally speaking, the people he met were not really powerful. Most of them were side branches of big surnames or children of noble families who had fallen on hard times.

So he could not find an opportunity to contact the real powerful people, and the Guo family never helped. It must be that Guo Xi's grandfather had a dirty deal with the main family. Although the Guo family was a noble family, they did not dare to offend the Sima family in power. They sold a branch and everyone reconciled.

As long as the Sima family that killed Guo Xi's grandfather was still in power, Guo Yuanchang actually had no chance at all.

Guo Yuanchang must have struggled to hide in the mountains when everyone was escaping.

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

So did Guo Yuanchang take such a risk just for a reputation of retreating to the mountains?

It is true that he did it for a reputation, but it is definitely not just for a reputation.

He was observing the situation.

The Hu people were able to cross the border and come to Luoyang, so they certainly did not fight all the way. So they could only take advantage of the chaos and rush thousands of miles. Maybe there are some ulterior motives behind it, just to have a reason to send troops to Luoyang.

The Sima family implemented a feudal system. The emperor of Luoyang was originally stupid. I am afraid that the brothers and uncles who were enfeoffed were not very peaceful. ⊥This⊥work⊥is⊥provided⊥by⊥think⊥tu⊥.com⊥online⊥reading⊥

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

Guo Yuanchang knew very well that he would not be reused under the current emperor, so it would be good to change the owner of Luoyang.

After the war, there was a lack of talents, and his famous branch of the Guo family had the opportunity to be recommended.

The reason for not being an official was probably that he did not like fame and fortune. There were many reasons for being an official, from the big one for the world and the people to the small one for protecting the peace of a place or for respecting literature.

And he succeeded.

As for the later expulsion of his second son who had supported the family for three years, the reasons were probably those few.

You Hongyin was unable to judge for the time being due to insufficient information, but it was certain that it was definitely not because people from aristocratic families could not be farm guests.

You Hongyin told Chen Xiquan his analysis, and the other party was dumbfounded. He finally accepted the "world's three views are such a weird setting", but the instructor seemed to have broken the veil of those weird things and gave him another trip to refresh his three views.

"You can only trust three points of what people from aristocratic families 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 in the future, take your time, don't be too anxious, it's more practical to sacrifice your own stomach first."

"Puchi, you can't stand this kind of life without oil and water? I was a farmhand when I was able to eat meat." Chen Xiquan said: "I never knew that eating meat was such a happy thing. But how did you get the meat? The Guo family is very poor, even if they have money, Zhang will not use it. She is a very qualified mistress of the house and has a strong sense of risk prevention."

You Hongyin said: "If there is no meat, catch it yourself. It's not a famine now."

Chen Xiquan said: "Then be careful, if Guo Yuanchang says that you are a hunter or a butcher, I'm afraid you will be scolded again."

"Don't worry, there are many nobles who like hunting. It doesn't matter in this regard, but it can't be done often." You Hongyin said.

Sure enough, the hares hunted by You Hongyin with bamboo arrows were welcomed by the Guo family. When Guo Yuanchang asked about the hunting method, You Hongyin said that he had some experience in practicing pitching pots, and he just used bamboo arrows to hunt hares, which was considered good luck.

Guo Yuanchang didn't say whether he believed it or not, anyway, he didn't ask much.

As for Chen Xiquan, he had long been impressed by You Hongyin's arrow-throwing skills.

You Hongyin can neither cultivate immortality nor practice martial arts in this world, but the breathing method that can strengthen the body can still be practiced. After nearly a month, it is natural that there are some results.

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

Guo Yuanchang obviously felt that his second son had good talent and could be used.

He always regretted that the four sons in the family, including his daughter, were not talented. You know, promoting them as child prodigies is also a way to improve the family's reputation. For example, the Wang family of Langya.

But after careful consideration, he gave up. After all, the art of pitching pots was not the right way to go. If he failed miserably, he would only be laughed at.

However, Guo Yuanchang
