Chapter 23

After more than ten days, it was time for Licai Academy to take a bath once a month, and it was three days in a row.

Geng Shulou, the young master of Geng, was studying in Licai Academy, and he passed the college examination in Shengning in 11 years and became a scholar in Daning.

He took the provincial examination in the same year and failed.

This year is the year of autumn, and Geng Shulou will definitely participate. Now Daning is stable inside and outside, prosperous and prosperous, if you want to occupy a place in the court in the future, you can serve the court and live forever, and you can prosper your family and seal your wife Yinzi, the imperial examination is the best and most normal way at the moment.

Although the ancestors of the Geng family became officials through martial arts and won titles through the art of war, but these skills were not passed on to their descendants. Although Uncle An Ping himself and Geng Wen and Geng Yan both practiced martial arts, their martial arts were mediocre. No benefit.

Therefore, the main direction of the efforts of the juniors in Anping Bofu is to use literature to become an official.

And Geng Shulou, who has already been selected as a scholar, bears the hopes of the whole family of Anping Bo's house.

Even Geng Wen, who had a normal relationship with Geng Cheng, and Geng Yan, who was sneering and indifferent when they met, had the same expectations for Geng Shulou, his nephew.

Because of this, after Shu Xiu, who was planning to study at Licai Academy for Geng Shuhuai, was deceived by Geng Xunxia's Erfang, Geng Wen was angry and sad towards his father, stepmother and Erfang, but no matter how angry, three years ago when he learned that Geng Wen was very happy when Geng Shuhuai passed the examination for scholar. With the full support of Geng Xun and Xia, Geng Shulou successfully enrolled in the scholar class of Licai Academy.

At that time, although Geng Wen felt a little uncomfortable, after all, because of Licai Academy, his son became rebellious, went away to study martial arts, and might not be able to come back once a year.

But it was uncomfortable, Geng Wen still gave a set of Four Treasures of the Study as a congratulatory gift for the scholar who passed the examination in Geng Shulou. I did my best.

But Geng Wen's thoughts did not mean Ruan Shi and Geng Xingshuang, the mother and daughter did not have a good impression of Geng Shulou.

Fortunately, since Geng Shulou went to Licai Academy, the number of times he returned to his residence was very small, which was almost the same as that of Geng Shuhuai who was not at home all year round.

This year, since I went to Licai Academy after the Chinese New Year, I have not returned once, saying that I will do my best to prepare for this autumn exam.

But this time when Xiu Mu, Geng Shulou came back.

Regarding Geng Shulou's coming back, Qingcui Courtyard didn't know anything about it.

During this period of time, Geng Xingshuang has been busy with the opening of Mingshang Pavilion, supplying goods to four shops including Jinxiufang, Liuji Garment Store, Linglong Pavilion, and Xiaochun Building, as well as training newcomers and recruiting newcomers.

Banjuan and Xianglan have been put in Mingshang Pavilion by her.

The half volume is the accountant that Geng Xingshuang has cultivated a long time ago, and Xianglan has a good skill in female celebrities. The two have experienced being sold once, and they cherish the days in Mingshang Pavilion, and they are both full of energy.

Geng Xingshuang even went to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to discuss with Zhu Yan the date of opening and the details of the store's operation.

It can be said that they are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground. Although the Xia family and the second room know that the eldest room has earned money, they used to do small troubles and sell clothes on consignment. Although they are jealous of the money, Uncle Anping is still there. He cheated the eldest son once before. After all, I have a guilty conscience, at least I can control it a little bit.

More importantly, Geng Xingshuang said that he was helping Zhu Yan with all the business, and Zhu Yan gave her a little hard work, which was counted as makeup money.

This is to say, no matter what the Xia family is, if even the granddaughter earns a little bit of cosmetics and silver, and there is a young lady from the Zhenguo mansion in front of her, the Zhenguo mansion is not as useless as the Anping uncle's mansion. Quan Wushi has only one down-and-out nobleman whose title will be revoked upon the death of Uncle Anping. Now that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is in the midst of prosperity, the Xia family naturally does not dare to think about these money.

Although Geng Xingshuang has opened Mingshang Pavilion now, but the big boss is Zhu Yan, the Xia family and the second room can only watch Geng Xingshuang busy every day, and even the third room shows signs of getting closer, but there is no other action. .

Of course, they have more important things to do.

The ancestral hall was opened, and Geng Cheng's newly recognized daughter was put on the family tree.

This is not only to invite the elders of the Geng clan, as the eldest son of the second wife, Geng Shulou, who is also the eldest grandson of the Uncle Anping's mansion, will naturally come back.

Of course, it stands to reason that Geng Shuhuai, the eldest son of the eldest son, should also come back. After all, there is one more person in the family, and the way of appearance is also very strange, but Geng Wen thought that Geng Shuhuai went out with the escort team to guard the escort. He doesn't know where the destination is, the letter can only be sent to Pingcheng, when he can see it, and when he can come back, it depends on God's will. For this reason, he refused to inform Geng Shuhuai to return to his residence.

Geng Wen originally thought that Geng Cheng didn't care about the extra concubine, what happened to this concubine, no matter how well it appeared on the surface, no one knew the reason.

But to Geng Wen's surprise, Geng Cheng was still in a hurry.

What's more, to the surprise of Geng Wen, Ruan's, Geng Xingshuang's family of three, Yao seems to accept this well. Not only did he not intend to stop Geng Cheng, but rather contributed to the flames.

Geng Xingshuang already knew Geng Xingbing's attitude, and since Geng Cheng and Yao Shi meant this, I don't know what Geng Shulou's opinion was.

So when Jin Bao came in, he said with a little excitement on his face: "The young master is back, he went to the Yide courtyard first, and now he is talking to Mrs. Uncle in the main courtyard. The second wife, third girl and fourth girl have already passed."

Geng Shumin and Geng Shuyin from the third room both study at Qingxi Academy in the north of the city. Qingxi Academy has a rest period every ten days, which does not coincide with the one-month rest and bath time of Licai Academy's scholar class, so they are not in the mansion.

"Girl, Miss Six is ​​here!"

Just as Geng Xingshuang wanted to ask Geng Xingchen, she came.

"Fifth sister, I heard that the eldest brother is back. He is in grandmother's yard. Let's go and have a look?"

Geng Xingshuang stood up, "I was about to ask you, but you just happened to come."

"Even the eldest brother is back, it seems that Shen Guoguo is really valued by the second uncle."

Geng Xingchen was also very puzzled by Geng Cheng's attitude. She lowered her voice and leaned into Geng Xingshuang's ear and said, "I heard from my mother and my father that my second uncle must have liked Shen Shui's biological mother very much before, so now I know that Shen Shui The existence of water is so important.”

Is that so?Is her second uncle still an infatuated person?Geng Xingshuang thought of Geng Cheng's gentle and refined face that seemed to be deliberately maintained all the time, and felt that the third aunt's vision might not be very good.

"Where's third uncle? What did she say?"

"My father snorted directly, saying that it is better to believe that the second uncle is a person who values ​​love than to believe that pigs can fly to the sky. Fifth sister, what do you think?"

Geng Xingshuang imagined how third uncle said this with three points of sarcasm, four points of mockery, and five points of disdain, and couldn't help laughing, "I agree with third uncle's point of view."

"Alas..." Geng Xingchen sighed, "Actually, I wanted to agree with what my mother said, but I knew in my heart that what my father said was probably the truth."

"Since the third uncle doesn't think that the second uncle is valued so much because of his biological mother, can he tell the reason why the second uncle did so?"

Geng Xingshuang had discussed it with his parents, but he came to no conclusion.

 ps: Geng Cheng: Who said that it is better to believe that pigs can fly to the sky than to believe that I am infatuated? You let pigs fly to the sky and show me! ! !
