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

Chapter 162 Erlang is going to end

By the time Gu Chengyu rushed home with lightness kung fu, it was already Shen Shi's moment.Gu Chengyu did some calculations, and found that it took him about a moment to get from the town to the village, which was indeed much faster than an ox cart, even faster than a horse-drawn cart. It seems that Qinggong should be used for traveling, although he Tired enough.

The dining table of Gu's family is considered to be second to none in the whole village, and of course it is still incomparable with Mr. Zhao's.Today's dinner is porridge with multigrain pancakes, cabbage stew, and scrambled eggs.Now the Gu family's eggs are no longer for sale, but they have raised so many chickens and produced many eggs, so they keep them for their own food. Eggs are no longer a rare commodity.

"There are still three months until the exam. What do you and the second family think? Xiaobao will definitely end next year. Do you two want to end?" Swallow the porridge in his mouth.

Gu Chengli didn't expect Father Gu to bring up this matter. In fact, he didn't know how Da Lang was doing. He asked about it, but Da Lang was always hesitating, so he didn't know what to say.He felt that Da Lang might not succeed, and that's it, Da Lang can still take the exam?
Gu Chengyi frowned, he had already asked his master, and the master said that Erlang still had a bit of aura in his studies, and that he studied hard, if he studied for a few more years, he still had some hope of passing the exam.But Saburo is about to get worse, and Saburo doesn't seem to be thinking about studying.

"Father! Even the young master of that rich family who studied since he was a child didn't take the exam after two or three years, did he? Is it too early to take the exam now? The fifth wife's wife is so famous, isn't he still 20 years old? At what age did you become a scholar?"

Gu Chengyi mainly wants to fight for Erlang for a few years. Saburo doesn't like reading, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't!But wouldn't it be a pity that Erlang didn't read it?He could tell that Erlang was the most like him, with a clever mind and an understanding of what he wanted. Compared with Erlang, Sanlang was far behind, and his understanding was much worse.

"Where's the boss? What do you say?" In fact, the Gu family's life is easier now, and it doesn't matter if a few children go to school for a few more years. At the beginning, they said that because they didn't have much money, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to pay.

"Father! I don't know either, let's ask Dalang! Only he knows what he reads." Gu Chengli was a little conflicted in his heart, and he also hoped that Dalang would read it again. He knew that Dalang didn't study well. , but what can be seen in the past two years?It would be better to study for another three years. If you really fail the exam, it would be good to come back and help the family.

Father Gu looked at Da Lang again, "Da Lang! What do you say?"

Seeing that everyone in the Gu family was staring at him, Da Lang panicked, "I don't know either." He didn't dare to go to the exam, but he was also hesitant to continue studying. If he didn't study, what could he do? ?
"Father! Dalang is still a child, what can he understand? According to me, it will be difficult to pass this book after only two or three years. Erlang, I want him to read it for a few more years."

Gu Chengyi would not let go of this opportunity. He sneered in his heart when the fifth child went to the exam.Do you think you are a child prodigy after you boast a few words?I want to take the exam after only three years of study. It is wishful thinking to pass the exam.But he doesn't know how to say it, just go for the test!She didn't pass the exam, but Kanniang still had the nerve to show off at home, as if her son was the only one born in the world who was smart.

"How are you studying in the private school? I believe you all know it in your own mind. Our family is not that rich and powerful. It is impossible for you to continue studying. Is there anyone who wants to end this year?" Old Gu finished eating the bowl Porridge, put down the chopsticks.

Mrs. Lu did not speak at the side. Studying is the top priority of the family. If she goes too far, the old man will not give her a good face. If she stops the Gu family's children and grandchildren from coming forward, even her uncle can't forgive her.

"Master! I want to end!" Erlang saw that Gu's father had not agreed to his father, thinking that Gu's father would not allow them to read any more, he wanted to give it a go.And he thinks that he is no slower than his uncle in learning. It makes no sense that his uncle can go, but he can't.

"Erlang! What are you talking about? You are still young. If you study for another two or three years, wouldn't you be more confident?" Gu Chengyi was taken aback by Erlang's words. He would rather let Erlang wait another three years. This time the end is too risky. , he can't read, but he also knows that being a scholar is not so easy to test.

"Father! I've made up my mind. I'm going to try it out. If it doesn't work, then I'll take the test next time." In fact, he wanted to see how he was worse than his uncle?Isn't uncle just able to endorse books?Every day when he went back to the house, he secretly turned on the light and read at night, just to catch up with him. He didn't believe that my uncle could be much better than him.

Gu Chengyi was a little silent. In fact, he also had a hope in his heart. What if it really passed?There is no disadvantage in the end, anyway, you can take the exam again after three years, if you don't pass it, it's good to just go to see it.

"Erlang! You can think about it. If you really want to go, I won't stop you. If you don't want to go, I can let you study for another three years. Isn't that more secure?" Father Gu didn't want to delay his grandson either. Erlang is the most promising of his grandchildren, so he will naturally let him read on.

Erlang hesitated after hearing this.But in the end, he made up his mind. "Master! I still want to try!"

Papa Gu Ji'an Erlang has already made up his mind, so he won't ask any more questions.He just turned his head and asked the other two grandsons to see what their plans were.

Da Lang has not yet figured out what he can do, so he just said that he still wants to read.Saburo is young and confused about the future. He looked at his father, but found that his father put all his attention on his second brother, and didn't care whether he wanted to continue reading. He was a little frustrated.

"Master! I still don't want to study anymore, I want to learn how to do business!" Sanlang thought for a moment, then looked firmly at Old Gu and said.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. He knew that Sanlang was not interested in studying, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

Old man Gu was also surprised, "Sanlang! You really think about it? If you want to study, the family will provide you with another three years." The two grandsons still study, it makes no sense that the younger grandson can't.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. This Saburo is also stupid. Since his father let go, why didn't he read it?Does he want to come back and plan food in the field?Isn't reading better than working in the fields?The fool.

"Sanlang! What do you know, kid? Being able to excel in reading is a good thing that many people can't even think of." He thought that Saburo was also stupid in reading, so he gave up such a good opportunity.

"Yes! Sanlang! Don't be stupid! Didn't your grandfather say that? The family can afford it."

When He heard that Saburo was going to give up studying, he also became anxious.Erlang and his father have never been very close to his mother, and only Saburo can think of her whatever he has to eat. The husband doesn't care about Saburo, but she can't watch Saburo get ruined and be a mud leg for the rest of her life.As for wanting to do business, this has long been ignored by them. Doing business requires capital. Can the family agree?
Originally, since he started studying, his father cared more about his second brother than he did. His father only asked him how his studies were going. He knew that he was not as smart as his second brother, nor as sweet-mouthed as his second brother, who could please his father and mother.
