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

Chapter 260 Archway
"Brother! Has my mother-in-law come back?" Gu Chengyi didn't look back at Cheng Li's words, but asked He Shi instead.

"I didn't see the ox cart coming back, but Erlang is back!"

"This woman doesn't come home every day. Does this mean she doesn't want to live anymore? I have to drag her back!" When Gu Chengyi mentioned this, he was really resentful. Whose mother-in-law has been living in her mother's house and never comes back, the house is covered with a layer of dust up.

"Go and tell her well. Oh! By the way, Xiaobao has been admitted as a scholar, and Dad said that there will be a banquet, so don't run around tomorrow, you have to discuss it!"

"What? You passed the exam?" Gu Chengyi's surprised voice suddenly came to mind, and it seemed a little unbelievable.

Gu Chengyu didn't continue to listen. His second brother didn't have any affection for him. He was admitted as a scholar, but his second brother didn't care.

"Little Treasure! You are honoring your ancestors this time. Your uncle said that this time you will open an ancestral hall and record it in the genealogy. You also want to set up a scholar memorial archway for you. You also said that you will make a plaque or something. I don't understand! "Once Papa Gu mentioned this, he felt his whole body full of energy.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, it seems that Dayan Dynasty had this custom. He is currently the only scholar in Shangling Village. If he is selected as a scholar, the clan will build a memorial archway, and the plaque will also be hung in the ancestral hall.

It's just that there are not many people who do this, because it costs a lot to repair the archway and make plaques. Their Gu family is very poor, and they don't even have a family farm. Is it necessary for each family to pay for it?That is definitely not willing.

"Don't be so extravagant. If I win Juren and Jinshi in the future, I will still have time to practice this. I am still just a scholar, so I don't need such a big fanfare."

In fact, what Gu Chengyu thought was that if the family members refused to leave, then his family must leave by themselves.It's not that he is reluctant to part with this little money, but that he pays for the archway and plaques himself, isn't that laughable and generous?It can't be said that people think that he has achieved some achievements, so they are complacent!

"This is a happy event, why not do it? Our Gu family has finally produced a scholar. This is a good thing to change the family." Seeing Gu Chengyu's rejection, Gu's father naturally refused.

"Father! Let's talk about this later! I will go to Fucheng to go to school this time after I come back to rest for half a month!" Going to Fucheng may reduce the number of times I go home.

"Why do you go to the prefectural school? Didn't you say the county school?" When Lu heard that the prefectural school was so far away, she was even more reluctant.

"The Holy Majesty gave an oral order that I want to cooperate with the prefect of Jiang to set up an experimental field in Fucheng, so he recommended me to study in the Fucheng." Gu Chengyu felt that the family would know about it sooner or later, so he chose to tell it early, he thought his parents would not like it He contacted Jiang Zhifu.

"The sage issued an oral order? What is that oral order?" Father Gu had never heard of this.

"It's similar to the imperial decree, that is, a verbal decree, not written in the imperial decree."

"Why did you still accept the imperial decree? This is really a great thing for Guangzong and Yaozu! It's a pity that it didn't reach our family, otherwise our Gu family would have a good reputation!" After the old man was happy, he felt a little regretful.

Several people had a lively discussion, and then the room fell silent. Father Gu and Mrs. Lu didn't speak, and Father Gu even picked up the cigarette stick again and started smoking.

"Our little treasure is really good, so we really want to go to Fucheng to go to school? That must be much better than the county school." Gu Wan didn't know the relationship between her parents and Jiang Zhifu, and she was a little happy to hear that her younger brother went to Fucheng to go to school. She felt that the Fucheng school was better than the county school. Learn well.

"If I go to the government to study, I will come back less frequently. Don't you think Second Sister will miss me? Sure enough, if you have Brother Sun, you don't want me anymore." Gu Chengyu joked to Gu Wan.

Gu Wan was blushed by Gu Chengyu, she jumped off the kang, and was about to beat Gu Chengyu, "Well, you little treasure, people care about you, but you are making fun of him, mother! You don't care about Xiaobao! "

Mrs. Lu looked at the siblings with a smile, and then scolded: "You monkey, how can you say that about your second sister? The reputation of a girl is extremely important, so don't dare to talk nonsense!"

Gu Chengyu stepped aside, touched his nose after listening to Lu Shi's words, "Just talk at home, I will definitely pay attention next time!"

In fact, I think it's because I'm an unmarried man and woman, that's why I said that.

The next day, Gu Xi and Wang Quanshou came early in the morning, bringing Wang Tian'er and Wang Dou with them, holding several wooden boxes and boards in their hands.

Gu Chengyu came out of the room after practicing calligraphy, and heard Gu Xi's voice.

"Sister, didn't I say to wait for Mingmo to pick you up? Why are you here so early? Are these Tian'er and Adou? Come in and sit down." Gu Chengyu hurriedly let people into the main room, and he didn't expect them to come So early.

"Isn't this impatient? I have something hidden in my heart, and I haven't slept all night! It's better to come here earlier. Tian'er, Ah Dou, call my uncle!" Gu Xi didn't sleep all night, his face looked haggard, but his expression was Very excited.

"Uncle!" Wang Tian'er and Wang Dou called out in unison.

Gu Chengyu agreed, he rarely saw his two nephews, so they were still a little cautious.Wang Tian'er is a pretty little girl, more like Wang Quanshou, and has inherited Gu Xi's big eyes, so Wang Dou looks like Gu Xi.

In fact, every time Gu Chengyu heard the name Wang Dou, he was a little speechless. His nickname was also called A Dou. Isn’t there a saying in ancient times that it is called A Dou who cannot be supported?Is it really a good name?
"Father! Eldest sister and elder brother-in-law are here!" Gu Chengyu led them into the main room. Father Gu and Mrs. Lu got up early, and the farmers went to bed early and woke up early.

"I'm afraid you haven't eaten so early, right? It just so happens that the mother-in-law cooked white porridge and steamed buns, so let's eat some!" Gu Chengyu turned his head and asked.

"Not hungry yet! What's the matter with the bracelet you gave yesterday? It's so expensive?" Gu Xi's family still eats twice a day, so they don't have the habit of eating breakfast.

"I gave it to Tian'er. The girl still needs to buy some jewelry. Let's eat some! It will be physical work later."

After the whole family had breakfast, they began to make bean products.Gu Chengyu has only seen it in books, and has never practiced it. Making tofu is not difficult, and you can get started with it the first time, but dried tofu is more troublesome!

After making it four or five times, Gu Chengyu finally looked similar to the previous life, and then asked Gu Xi and the others to make fried tofu and fennel, as well as soy milk and tofu nao, and Gu Chengyu also added seasonings to taste.

"I'll make it for lunch today." Gu Chengyu broke off a piece of dried tofu and tasted it. He felt that it was almost the same as the one in the previous life, and because the seasoning was enough, it was even more delicious than in the previous life.

"This dried bean curd can be made into a stewed one or a mild one. It can be eaten as a stir-fry or directly." His restaurant also needs dried bean curd, but it's a pity that it's too far away, otherwise Gu Xi would supply it directly.

"Changqing! Is Xiaobao at home?" At this moment, Uncle Gu's voice sounded from the yard.

"Brother is here, he's here!" Hearing Uncle Gu's voice, Father Gu knew that he must be here to talk about building archways and making plaques.

"What are you doing? I smell a fragrance, like tofu, but it doesn't seem to be tofu." Uncle Gu has a very good nose, and he smelled this fragrance as soon as he entered the yard.
