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

Chapter 157
When Mrs. Lu returned to the house, Father Gu looked at Mrs. Lu and said, "His mother! When Xiaobao grows up, let him do some things by himself. Now that he is by your side, of course you can help him; if If he separates from you in the future, wouldn't he know nothing?"

"Why isn't Xiaobao by my side? Anyway, I want to follow Xiaobao. Wherever Xiaobao is, I will be there." When Mrs. Lu heard what Gu Lao said, she felt a little unhappy.

"You! In the future, you will follow him when he takes the exam? Didn't you hear that a loving mother is a loser? If it weren't for our little treasure who has been able to pick it up since he was a child, I'm afraid you would have been spoiled by him long ago." Father Gu Afraid that Mrs. Lu would care about her baby, she said a few more words.

This time, Mrs. Lu didn't make a sound, took off her clothes, fell asleep, and ignored Father Gu.

Old Gu knew that she had listened, so he stopped talking.

The next day, Gu Chengyu told Papa Gu and the others that they didn't understand something in the book, and wanted to go to the town to ask his wife, so he got Papa Gu's consent.

Gu Chengyu sat on the bullock cart that Gu Chengli was driving, thinking about Senior Brother Sun.In the past two years, he and Senior Brother Sun often discussed homework together.Brother Sun also plans to take the county examination in the spring of next year.

Master said, if Senior Brother Sun goes to the exam, if there are no accidents, let alone what rank he can get, he should be able to pass.

Last year, Tangji Buzhuang dismissed the previous accountant because his hands and feet were not clean and he made false accounts.After Gu Chengyu found out, he recommended Senior Brother Sun to shopkeeper Zhou.

Senior Brother Sun is not that pedantic person, so he happily agreed that his mother's illness has improved a bit this year, and the family has some extra money, so he picked up the books, reviewed them carefully, and planned to take the exam with Gu Chengyu next year.

What Gu Chengyu was thinking at the moment was not about the exam. Senior Brother Sun is sixteen years old. It stands to reason that he should marry a wife at this age, but because his family was poor before, the matter of marrying a wife has never been settled.

Gu Chengyu thought of Gu Wan. Gu Wan is also eleven this year, and in two years she can see her again. Gu Wan is an elder, if she doesn't get engaged, then her nephews and nieces who are similar in age will also have to drag her along.

Brother Sun is upright, not pedantic, sincere in his dealings with others, and also a scholar, he is a good candidate for brother-in-law.It was because he was afraid of his second sister and looked down on Senior Brother Sun. After all, Senior Brother Sun was five years older than her.And Senior Brother Sun may not be able to fall in love with the second sister, because the second sister is too young, if he wants to get married, he will have to wait a few years, and he will be in his 20s by then.

This matter has to be brought up with his father when he goes back, and now it is considered the period of Senior Brother Sun's downfall. If he does not mention it now, he will mention it later when he is admitted to a scholar.

In fact, Gu Chengyu also thinks that Senior Brother Sun is a potential stock. If he is booked at this moment, even if he has a great future in the future, the second sister's life will not be bad.Of course, both parties are willing to do this.

The bullock cart entered Shanhe Town in Gu Chengyu's free thoughts.

"Xiaobao! But it stopped at the entrance of the private school?" Gu Chengli turned around and asked Gu Chengyu who was sitting in the carriage.

"Brother! Just stop at the door." Gu Chengyu planned to go to visit Master Wen first, and then go to see those people.

"Hey! Then I'll wait for you here." Gu Chengli put Gu Chengyu down at the gate of the private school, and then wanted to drive the ox cart to the gate of the private school.

Gu Chengyu hurried forward to stop him, "Brother! Don't be busy! I'm going back later today, so go first! Maybe I won't be back until afternoon!"

"Ah? Then why are you going back? Didn't you say you want to find your wife? It's going to be so late? Then tell me what time it is, and I'll pick you up." Gu Chengli thought that although it hadn't snowed for several days, there was still some snow on the ground. Hu, I think it is not easy to find a bullock cart in the town.

"No! I made an appointment with Wang Qikai. When the time comes, he will let his carriage take me back." Gu Chengyu had to pull Wang Qikai as a shield. He didn't know when he would go back. If it was getting late If that is the case, it is very unsafe for the eldest brother to drive the bullock cart, so it is better to drive back with light work.

Although his lightness kung fu has not yet reached the level of Treading Wuhen, and when he performs it, he can persist for a short time.However, it shouldn't be a problem to use it for traveling.

"Okay! Then I'll go first. Don't run around in the town, come back early." Gu Chengli is a rough guy, and Gu Chengyu has studied in the town for nearly three years, so he is familiar with the surrounding places Very well, he didn't worry about it.

"Then brother, be careful when you go back."

After parting with Gu Chengli, Gu Chengyu stepped forward and knocked on the door of the private school.After the gatekeeper opened, Gu Chengyu stepped into the private school.

Because the private school was closed yesterday, it was very quiet inside.Gu Chengyu walked along the long corridor to the master's study, and he didn't have to worry that the master would not be there, the concierge would pass by.

Master Wen told him before leaving school yesterday that he was asked to come to the private school in a few days, but he didn't know why.

The originally luxuriant flowers and plants on both sides of the corridor are now completely covered by snow, the flowers and leaves are gone, some of them are only the torso, and some have already collapsed on the ground, looking a little depressed.

"Oh! Girl! Don't go any further, the outer courtyard is just ahead."

Suddenly, Gu Chengyu heard a girl's voice from the other side of the corridor.

"Xiao Cui! What are you afraid of? There are no students studying in the front yard now, and you can't meet a stranger. Daddy must be in the study right now. I'll go find Daddy." At this time, another immature female voice also spoke. followed by ringing.

The voices of the two were very close, as if they had reached the corner from the corridor to the study.

When Gu Chengyu heard this, he stopped in his footsteps. This is probably the wife of Master Wen.

Just when he stopped and was about to return, the person opposite had appeared in front of Gu Chengyu.

I saw a young girl on the opposite side, she should be a servant girl in her attire, and a shorter girl, about eight or nine years old, was walking briskly in front of her.Maybe it was because of walking in a hurry, the fair apple's face was already flushed.

Gu Chengyu quickly lowered his head and stopped looking.Men and women have different seats at seven years old, and he will be eight years old after the new year, and he has reached the age where he should avoid suspicion.But then I thought about it, since we met, and it was in broad daylight, there is nothing wrong with telling people, I'm afraid it's a breach of etiquette to be rude.

"Ah! Girl, there's someone here." The maid Xiaocui screamed.

In fact, Xiaocui didn't need to call, Yiqin had already seen it, and judging by the way he was dressed, he should be her father's student.Taking advantage of the moment when Gu Chengyu bowed his head, Yiqin quickly glanced at the opposite side, and saw that it was an eight or nine-year-old boy, wearing an indigo blue muslin round-neck gown.

The other party was sensible, and didn't raise his eyes to look at her, which was considered polite.Relying on the other party's lowered head, Yiqin didn't dare to look at her, so she unscrupulously took a look at the slightly lowered face.

Suddenly, Yiqin's pupils shrank slightly, it turned out to be him?

"I'm next, Gu Chengyu, I've met my senior sister!" Gu Chengyu thought to himself, the other party should be Master Wen's little girl, and he had heard a little about it in the private school.Mrs. Wen and his wife are deeply in love with each other. They only have two daughters under their knees. The eldest daughter has already been married, and the younger daughter is still young and is still waiting for her husband. Needless to say, this girl must be Mrs. Wen's youngest daughter.
