When Gu Erzhu went to see his uncle, Patriarch Gu, in the afternoon, he didn't have anything very important to talk about. He was just so busy since the beginning of the new year that he never had time to sit here.

Unlike his father, his second uncle still likes to chat with his eldest brother about family affairs. It just so happens that there are fewer relatives at home to pay New Year's greetings in the past two days, and his second uncle often stays at his eldest uncle's house.

No, when he came, his second uncle was already at his eldest uncle's house, and the two old men were sitting on the kang, drinking wine and chatting about home affairs, making them laugh out loud.

To be honest, he was quite envious that his brothers were still so good friends at such an old age, but he didn't know what the old man was thinking, and he just didn't like to interact with each other.

In the past two or three days, I have even had convulsions. Whenever I met him, I would always mention that Dalang was 80% or 90% sure of passing the county exam this year, but he didn't dare to say that he would definitely pass.

My own father, I don't know what he is showing off. What's ridiculous is that he was born to the same parents. The uncle's family also has a child-born grandson. Let's see if he is showing off.

Three or five people, father, son, uncle and nephew, were sitting there chatting. It was not Patriarch Gu showing off his child-born grandson, but Mr. Gu asking if Gu Wenyu was going to take the college examination this year.

According to the Daliang imperial examination system.

The county examination results are only valid for whether you continue to take the college examination within one year. If you miss the college examination, it will be useless even if you get the top spot. If you want to take the imperial examination the next year, you will have to take the county examination as usual.

Children who have passed both the county examination and the prefecture examination do not need to take the county examination as usual if they want to take the college examination, but they still have to take the prefecture examination again.

The meaning of Mr. Gu's question was that he was asking whether Gu Wenyu would take part in the academy examination this year. There was a 10% chance that he would be able to become a student and obtain the title of scholar.

Uncle Gu (Gu Patriarch) nodded and said that his grandson would continue to take the exam. When Zhou Xiucai praised Gu Wenxuan for being very diligent, he told Gu Erzhu to pay more attention, but don't let the child break his body.

Gu Erzhu promised that he would look after the child, and then boasted that his old daughter-in-law was more attentive than him and his wife, and how she carefully served his old son five meals a day.

He understood what his eldest uncle and his second uncle were thinking, and he didn't praise his old daughter-in-law so much. Regardless of whether it was his eldest uncle or his second uncle, he definitely mentioned that Liu Lang should have a child as soon as possible.

Ever since his family Sanya bought a field and a shop, and he hadn't even said a word about building a workshop when the weather got a little warmer, the two of them were more anxious than him to urge Sanya to have a baby.

If it weren't for the eldest grandpa and second grandpa to mention it to his grandnephew and grandnephew in person, Gu Erzhu believed that the two of them would have come to scare the children.

After all, his Rokuro had already said that as soon as he saw his eldest grandfather and his second grandfather, he asked Sanya if she was happy. His Rokuro would really get beaten if he told her not to be in a hurry.

But there's really no rush to have a child. It's not that I'm physically unable to conceive a child. There's really no need to keep an eye on the matter of having a child sooner or later.

Of course, he naturally understood that his eldest uncle and second uncle were thinking about his family, Liu Lang, for his family's Liu Lang.

Otherwise, they have many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and they don't want their Liulang to give birth to a boy so that they can inherit one of their names, so it would be as if they were interfering in their nephew's family affairs.

Uncle Gu and Second Master Gu listened to Gu Erzhu talking about how Zhou Banxia took care of Ma Shan, his sister-in-law, and Yu Cai came to see someone.

The three people present all know that Gu Erzhu is no more busy now than he was before the family was separated. After all, he is not the head of the family. He still has an eldest brother, so he doesn't need to step in for everything.

I am really busy now. I have been busy since the year before. I only have free time in the afternoon today so that I can come and sit with them and chat with them about home life as usual.

Unlike the three people present here, Gu Erzhu came to see him when he saw Yu Cai coming to see him, knowing that there must be no guests coming. After all, it was afternoon.

In the first month of the first lunar month, when guests come to the door, they need to be called home to entertain the guests. It can be said that all of them come before noon, and those who come in the afternoon are not guests at all.

On the contrary, this morning Yu Cai and his wife, one driving the carriage and the other accompanying his family Sanya to the county town, are back now, and they may have replied to his letter and want to discuss it with him.

But it wasn't right. Whether it was his wife or Sanya, since they knew he was at the uncle's house, why would they rush Yu Cai to call him back not long after he got home? What happened in the city?

Is everything okay?

Everything is going smoothly and fine?

On the way, Gu Erzhu listened to Yu Cai's report that nothing went wrong when he went out today. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but slow down and strode home again.

"What?"

Ms. Liu had already calmed down. When she saw Gu Erzhu blurting out a word in shock, she laughed and pointed at the rental deed on the table.

No joke?

Gu Erzhu looked at his wife, then at the two daughters-in-law, and picked up a piece of paper on the table that was obviously a door lock and was pressed by the door lock.

Hey, we actually rented a yard next to the county school!

"Let me tell you, you are not a child who likes to go out. Our whole family has gone to the city to celebrate the New Year, so why do you still go to the city to see if the letter has arrived?

If there is a reply, whether it's your Uncle Zhao or your Uncle Wang, how could they not send someone to our house to report the news? Why would we have to make a trip in the cold weather? "

Hindsight! Mrs. Liu glanced at Gu Erzhu funnyly.

Ma Shan, who had learned about Gu Wenxuan's February county exam not long before him, nodded when he heard this, "No, I was also wondering why Sanya was so anxious this time. Or because there were not many wires left at home. I thought she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get a job and was fooled by her. Dad, do you think she is bad?"

"Bad!" Gu Erzhu nodded and smiled, "So, Liulang and Dajiang signed up on the seventh day of the new year?"

"Yes."

"No wonder I came back late that day."

Not only did Mrs. Liu think about it, but Gu Erzhu also remembered that his old son not only came back late from lunch that day, but also brought back lunch with the kid from Dajiang.

He felt strange at the time.

There just happened to be fewer of their classmates who had gone to the county government to register. Zhou Xiucai went to class and didn't have to leave school too late. Instead, they came back for lunch more than half an hour later than usual.

He just heard from his old son that his classmates who took the county exam ran away, so Zhou Xiucai focused on giving lectures to his classmates who took the college exam. He deliberately stayed a little longer and was able to pass.

This little bastard can lie seriously! Gu Erzhu laughed, "Sanya, daddy wants to tell you something."

"Okay, I'm here to listen, Dad."

"You were deceived by Rokuro. He deliberately told you to keep quiet just to defraud you of your money. Be careful of him. This bastard has no good intentions."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh.

"Take a quick look, you still don't believe it, is it a tiger or not?" Gu Erzhu pointed his finger in the air at his old daughter-in-law and put the rental deed back on the table, "Didn't it cost a lot of money?"

"Fortunately, I rented it early."

"Our father is asking more than just renting a house." Ma Shan reminded Zhou Banxia and asked, "Your sixth grandfather, no, it was your uncle who told you whether your brother Liu Lang would end up too early?"

"That's right. It's not strange for Ojiang to sign up. It's only been a few days since you, Rokuro, picked up the book. Isn't it too early? Dad, why don't you go find her uncle and find out?"
