The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 103 Follow my uncle and live a good life

"Okay! Let's all go back to our own rooms! The master has also assigned homework, so we have to do it quickly while it's still bright!" Seeing that he had said everything he wanted to say, Mr. Gu asked everyone to go back.Xiaobao can only write in the main room, which is still a little inconvenient, so he has to build a room quickly and leave the study room.

Xiaowa doesn't need to be present for such a big event at home. Erya was beaten and felt sad. She didn't even want to ask my uncle why the pheasant came here, but she lost the mood. into the East Wing.

Fang and Gu Chengli went back to the East Wing from the main room, "Dear girl, come with me to get some water, wash up and go to bed!" Gu Chengli was so tired that he lay directly on the kang.

After a day's work in the fields, Fang was so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy to speak, so he wanted to lie down and rest.

Da Ya lifted the curtain from the inside and came out, waiting for Fang Shi to leave together.When Fang saw such a girl, she also sighed. She is a good big girl. Ever since she was frightened that time, she didn't even talk much. If she didn't work hard, she would suspect that her brain was burnt out.Thinking, thinking, her eyes were a little moist, she knew that she was useless, and the baby lived a miserable life with her.Now, she just wants to bring up her children, marry her daughters, and live her own life, so she can rest assured.

The little sister learned embroidery from her mother, and her daughter didn't have any money-making jobs, so she could only make them work harder, and then went to her in-law's house, and it was more pleasing!Looking at Da Ya, he thought of Er Ya who was wronged during dinner, "Where is Er Ya! Why didn't you see her?"

Da Ya glanced at the back room and sat on the kang.She seemed to know that her mother would have to wait a while to fetch water.

Sure enough, Fang raised the curtain, and saw Erya lying on the kang with her eyes open, wondering what she was thinking.

"Erya? But do you still blame your mother? Does the beating hurt?" Fang looked at the silent Erya and sighed.

After a while, Er Ya replied, "It's nothing, I just want to sleep!"

"Don't blame mother, mother just doesn't want you to develop such a temperament like your second aunt, and then go to your in-law's house in the future to make trouble for your in-law's family. Follow your father at home, follow your husband when you get married, and go out of your family. You're from your in-law's family, and it's rare to even go back to your mother-in-law's house, mother is afraid that you will be wronged at your in-law's house in the future, and mother will not know!" Fang said, tears streaming down her face, her voice still choked with sobs.

Seeing that Fang Shi was shedding tears, Erya also felt uncomfortable.Sitting up from the kang, he was a little dazed.

"All I know is that I feel sad. Mother, when do you think we will be tall in this kind of life?" Erya stared at a corner of the kang in a daze.

When Fang heard this, she wiped her tears with her hands, and then said worriedly: "Why do you think so? The days are getting better and better! You little child, what are you thinking?"

At some point, Da Ya also entered the room, and the two of them sat on the kang while talking.

"Follow uncle, it will be fine!" Da Ya's hoarse voice sounded.

Fang and Erya were taken aback by Da Ya's sudden words, and then remembered what Da Ya said.

"Elder Sister, why are you following Uncle?" Er Ya asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, treat us well, don't separate families, live a good life!" Maybe she doesn't speak very often, Da Ya's speech is not very coherent, and her voice is a little hoarse, but her round eyes now reveal that she is looking at the future. expectations.

"Uncle? Eldest sister, my uncle is still young! When my uncle is successful in studying, we will be married long ago. How can we take advantage of my uncle?" Erya felt that the elder sister was really whimsical.

"Hurry up!" Da Ya said two words, stood up and left the room.

Arya left behind and Fang Shi who was wiping tears looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the main room, Gu Chengyu finished grinding the ink as soon as he entered, and spread out the paper on the table.Before leaving school today, Master Wen assigned homework to memorize what he learned today and copy it twice.In fact, there were not many tasks. Gu Chengyu picked up the brush and began to copy with all his attention.

Sitting on the kang, Mrs. Lu sewed clothes while looking at Gu Chengyu and smiling.Gu Wan sat beside Gu Chengyu, watching Gu Chengyu write curiously.

"Little Treasure! You went to school today, no one bullied you, right?" Gu Wan looked at it for a while, then lost interest and wanted to find something to say.

Lu Shi hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Gu Wan back to the kang, "Don't disturb your brother's writing, don't talk, and learn how to embroider with your mother!" Lu Shi pressed Gu Wan who was still about to move, Gu Wan was not happy She pursed her lips, but in the end she didn't speak anymore, but picked up the stretcher, continued to eat the grass embroidered before lunch, and continued to embroider. Seeing that her daughter was no longer noisy, Mrs. Lu left her alone.

It only took Gu Chengyu half an hour to copy these. After finishing writing, spread them on the table to dry the wet ink on the paper.Prepare to wait until it is dry, then spread the paper and practice calligraphy more.

"Mom! Where's Dad? The honeysuckle should be in bloom for the past two days, right? I still have to go up the mountain to see it tomorrow, so I can pick it early, so don't miss the flowering period!" Gu Chengyu thought about the honeysuckle and didn't say anything about it.

"What can he do? Or toss those two rabbit cages upside down? Your father can pick these flowers just after explaining! But it's finished?" Mrs. Lu looked at the table. She couldn't read, but only knew a few numbers. .

"No! By the way, did Dad sell the mink today? How much money did you sell?"

"I knew you wanted to ask. I sold it, sold it for 11 taels of silver, and your father gave it to me. You went to the toilet, but I didn't see it. Not to mention, this thing is really worth money! It's a good loss, I didn’t let the second family cook the mink, otherwise I would lose about ten taels of income. Even this mink, I can’t touch it at ordinary times.” Mrs. Lu remembered that the second family almost cooked the mink yesterday, and now she still has lingering fears .

"Mother! These are rare encounters." There are many people who have entered the deep mountains, but his mother will definitely not allow him to enter.Moreover, he would not be able to catch any big prey if he went in now.

"Let's not think about these things for now. I'm going to find a long-term income earning business for my family. I told my father about this. If it's done well, you can get money." Gu Chengyu thought of the soap molds he made in Dashan, maybe Have to wait another two days.

"It's the soap you mentioned? Can it really be made? It's better than bath beans?" Mrs. Lu also heard about it from Mrs. Gu, but the family still didn't say it first, and they don't know if it can be done.When it's done, it's too late to talk about it!

"Xiaobao! What is soap?" Gu Wan asked curiously.

"It's similar to the kind of bath beans that my mother sometimes takes to bathe. It can be used for washing clothes, bathing, and washing the face. It is clean and has a fragrance. You can also call it fragrant soap."

"Isn't that better than bath beans?" Gu Wan said excitedly.She was envious of her mother's bath beans, but unfortunately her mother was reluctant to use them, so she washed them twice and kept them hidden on weekdays.

"When it's done, you'll know it after you use it!" It's not done yet, and the explanation is unclear, so it's better to wait until it's done and speak with facts.
