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

Chapter 181 Papa Gu's Plan

"Everyone! There is no need to pay the rent, someone has already paid for us!" Gu Chengyu put down the package in his hand and said to them.

"How did this work? Didn't we take advantage of you?" Father He disapproved. He owed favors after receiving favors from others, and favors were not easy to repay.

"Uncle He, don't take it to heart! There are indeed people you know who paid." Gu Chengyu was also very helpless.

Gu Chengyu sat on the bullock cart returning home, and couldn't help but think of the Gu family.It's been ten days since he came out, and I don't know if my mother and second sister miss him.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the woods by the roadside, and was thinking about his mother and sisters at home.He finally lived up to their hopes, which made his heart, which was already overwhelmed, feel better.

Although this is the county examination, it is also the first step in the imperial examination.He touched the fifty taels of silver in his bosom, and he felt a little embarrassed that he didn't get a penny in this exam. He just ate and drank with Gu Chengyu and the others all the way.

"Senior brother! The master asked us to go to the private school in the future, so we can just rest at home for a day." Gu Chengyu also wanted to go home to rest, and the exams these few days were really tense.

"That's good! The government exam is in April, and we'll go to the private school the day after tomorrow, so we can still catch our breath!" Sun Xian came back in an ox cart with the Gu family.

"Boy of the Sun family, when you come out this time, has your mother settled down?" Old Gu took a look at Sun Xian. Gu Chengyu had mentioned to Old Father Gu before that he wanted to match Gu Wan and Sun Xian.

During this period of time, he has been observing Sun Xian, he is filial to his mother, understands how to behave in the world, and more importantly, he can have a future in the future.He is a father, of course he hopes that his daughter will marry well.Although Sun Xian's family is poor, he has a lot of ambition. If he can give some help, he might be able to become an official in the future.

He also took a fancy to Sun Xian's qualifications. If Wan'er married him, he would make up for the dowry, and his life should not be bad.As for the mother of the Sun family, although she is in poor health and often needs to take medicine, but from what Sun Xian said, at most, she was sick from overwork and lost her body, so she just needs to take care of her.In the past few days, he thought about it for a long time and felt that Sun Xian was a good candidate.

Dalang wants to talk about marriage when he is old, and Da Ya is already thirteen this year, and he is about to talk about his in-laws' family in a hurry. People in the farmer family always talk about marriage when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, but sister-in-law and niece are about the same age, and sister-in-law doesn't talk about kissing As a niece, don't be in a hurry, otherwise people will have to talk about it, so you have to take care of Wan'er first.

"My mother and I can get out of bed and walk around. Before I came, I entrusted the aunt next door to take care of me!" Sun Xian was a little worried when he talked about his mother. After so many days, he didn't know if his mother could take care of her. be yourself.

Gu Chengyu sat and listened, thinking to himself that this is his father's plan?As for Ye Zhiqiu on the side, it's not that he didn't think about it.It's not that Ye Zhiqiu is not good, it's just that Ye Zhiqiu is still young, one year younger than Gu Wan!

Moreover, the boy has not yet matured, and his temperament has not yet been determined. Who knows what kind of temperament he will have in the future?Besides, the three female relatives of the Ye family, if his second sister married, she would inevitably be offended by her temperament.Ye's mother raised Ye Zhiqiu up, and the family's life was so difficult, but she still insisted on letting him study. It can be seen that Ye's mother has high hopes for Ye Zhiqiu. Even the two older sisters are afraid that they want to wait for Ye Zhiqiu to become famous before marrying. Well, Ye Zhiqiu's burden is too heavy, he wants his second sister to live a more relaxed life.

"Oh! You are not young at this age, right? Your mother hasn't told you about the marriage yet?" Old Gu looked at Sun Xian who was opposite, staring into his eyes.

"A few years ago my family was having a hard time. Which girl would marry me? In the past two years, I have become more relaxed, but now my energy is all on the exam, so I ignore it." Sun Xian smiled wryly. Before the family was poor, His mother wanted to ask the matchmaker to talk about marriage, but the matchmaker never came to the door.

Mother always said that she dragged him down, if it weren't for her medicine jar, he would have married long ago.For this reason, once he wanted to die, and his belt was hung on the beam of the house. It was only when he got up to drink water at night that he found out and was saved.

The past two years have been better, and the matchmaker has also come, but he doesn't want to talk about kissing.Last time, the matchmaker told me about it, but they asked for a bride price of ten taels of silver, how could he get it?Maybe people just took a fancy to him as an accountant in the town and thought that the monthly income was quite a lot, so they said so.

However, he still needs to study, which naturally costs a lot. Even if ten taels of silver is barely scraped together, the marriage will naturally fail!After that, he didn't care much about talking about his relationship.

"Your mother hasn't found you for the past two years? You're not young anymore, don't you want to talk about marriage?" Father Gu's sudden attention made Ye Zhiqiu look at Father Gu several times.

"I don't want to think about it for the time being!" Sun Xian was a little embarrassed when he saw that Old Gu kept talking about this topic.

Papa Gu wouldn't believe Sun Xian's words, whose son doesn't want to marry a wife?Just didn't see the right one!Thinking about it this way, I have an idea in my heart.

"It's getting late today, and you guys have to go back and settle down. You haven't been home for ten days. After two days, I'll ask Xiaobao to invite you to my house to play! There are many good things in Changling Mountain next to us. , let Xiaobao lead you around."

Gu Chengyu knew that Father Gu wanted Sun Xian to go home, so he looked at each other secretly.After all, although they used to communicate frequently, most of them were Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian who made appointments to go to private schools or Sun's house.

"Third Uncle Gu is also polite! I don't say those polite words, as long as Uncle Gu doesn't think we are bothering you, then I will not be polite!" Seeing Father Gu's invitation, Sun Xian thought that Father Gu was hospitable.

"Senior Brother Ye will also come together at that time, and call Wang Qikai and Senior Brother You, it will be more lively if there are more people!" Call more people so that Sun Xian will not be too conspicuous when he goes.

"Then bother you!" Seeing that Gu Chengyu sincerely invited Ye Zhiqiu, he stopped being polite.

"There is a nice view on our Changling Mountain, and there is a small waterfall in Xialing Village. You can go and bring dry food, and you can have fun! Don't young people just like to go outing? Haha!" Gu The uncle also interjected, but he thought that Papa Gu was really inviting Xiaobao's classmates, and wanted Xiaobao to have more contact with his classmates.

"Yes! Uncle, you'll have to call me when the time comes!" Gu Wanhua heard that the Gu family planned to invite a lot of classmates, including some from a good family, so he naturally wanted to join in the fun!

"Isn't that at our house? You just come here! It's just that your niece and daughter-in-law will let you out? Don't you want to bring a baby?" Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanhua. of.

Gu Chengyu remembered that Hyundai always said that marriages between close relatives would result in deformed or mentally handicapped children.But in ancient times, close relatives got married a lot, but they were all lucky. So far, everything they have seen is normal.

Gu Wanhua's son is over one year old and looks very cute.He also brought him Xiaowa's favorite thing from the county seat, a wooden toy made of chicken pecking rice, which is very delicate.
