Mrs. Liu understood what Gu Erzhu meant by what he said, and she also felt that she should find a suitable opportunity to prevent her old daughter-in-law's name from being known to the villagers.

What kind of family can have a lucky star, or a lucky star who has the ability to turn stone into gold? In addition, the old son won the small three yuan again, which is too ostentatious.

"Dad, it's unreasonable not to hold a banquet to congratulate you this time. I want to hold a banquet before the children come back. When the children come back, the limelight will be almost over."

Hearing this, Gu Erzhu pondered for a moment, "Let the in-laws and others calm down tonight. I will go to him to discuss it tomorrow and see if we can have a banquet in the next two days."

"The two families are opening an ancestral hall tomorrow. By the way, Mukuro and the others will be home in at least half a month. I don't think my uncle will wait for a month before setting up a banquet."

Not necessarily.

Little three yuan.

Much scenery.

I'm afraid I have to wait for Liulang and Wenyu to get home, and I have to think about how to persuade the uncle.

"Yes, you can't rest yet, you have to go to Grandpa Sanya's house.

We, Rokuro, haven't come back yet, so we parents have to make a trip in person to send thank you gifts. "

In this way, once Liulang and the others stay in Dingzhou Mansion for a few more days on the way, it will still make people think that Liulang worships Mr. Zhou as his teacher. Have we not forgotten that Zhou Xiucai is so kind to him?
Gu Erzhu understood his wife's little thoughts and glanced at her: "Wait until dark before coming to the house. Why don't you let them stay overnight when your brother comes?"

"I'm so busy with people coming and going that I can't spare the time to say a few words. Seeing that your eldest sister is leaving, I promised to come back when the banquet is held. It's not very far anyway."

Not far?
Gu Erzhu suddenly remembered what his old son had said before, "If you are not used to living there, let your father-in-law and the others move to our village.

When we settled here earlier, we were worried that living too close would upset them. This time, Rokuro said that he wanted his grandpa and uncle to move here, but the old man didn’t dare to look down on us.

Now he wants to say that my unfilial piety has brought bad reputation to Liu Lang. Not to mention the eldest and second uncles, the whole clan will criticize him. "

Move here?
Mrs. Liu shook her head slowly, thinking about her words, "I have lived there for more than twenty years, what else am I not used to?

The fragrance is far away and the smell is near. We also have grandchildren, so don’t cause trouble to our children.

It's good like this. No one can drag my son down.

It’s not that I’m unfilial and cruel. It’s not easy for my son to get to where he is today. I don’t want anyone to help me, and my son doesn’t owe anyone. "

Is this something I, a child, can listen to?

Gu Baoya blinked and quietly exited his parents' room.

When I walked to the main hall, I saw something on the table and covered my mouth with both hands.

Then he ran to the east wing, where Ma Shan, who was pregnant with a big belly, was resting peacefully on the couch. Beside him was Gu Erlang, who was holding a little Changsuo to teach his son how to read.

Gu Baoya was even happier.

"Come and sit here with me -"

"Don't move!" Seeing Ma Shan immediately using both hands to sit up, Gu Baoya hurriedly ran over, "My dear sister-in-law, I have told you so many times, why are you always disobedient?"

Ma Shan laughed.

"You're still laughing. Slow down. It's true. Second sister-in-law told me to keep an eye on you before she went out. You can't let me lose face with second sister-in-law."

She was smart, worthy of being his little sister, and could talk a lot. Gu Erlang looked at their sister-in-law with a smile.

"Okay, I'll sit up slowly." Ma Shan suppressed a smile, "Are you having a good time today? Your eldest brother has been standing outside looking at the stone flagpole and the gate for almost an hour."

This precious wife revealed his shortcomings again. Gu Erlang shook his head and smiled, "How could you not? Liu Lang has made our family angry this time."

Gu Baoya blinked at Ma Shan: Brother, does he still know that at noon, our grandfather was kneeling outside our house to praise how good he was as a grandfather?

Ma Shan didn't realize it for a moment, but when she saw her sister-in-law wipe her eyes, she had a flash of inspiration and understood.

Although I was afraid of being surprised at noon, and there were so many people that it was not beautiful, and I was indeed not outside, I heard that my mother-in-law was crying. Outsiders only think that the mother-in-law is crying with joy, but in fact she is.

If you ask her, she must have cried out of anger, thinking that someone had no brains and came here to grab the credit.

"Your elder brother has heard about it."

Gu Baoya covered his face with his hands, why did he tell the truth?
"That's not what I said."

Xiao Changsuo, who broke free from his father's arms and stood on the ground, immediately raised his hand, "I, aunt, dear aunt, I said it."

Gu Erlang laughed heartily.

"This time the school in our village has become famous. Not to mention Xiao Sanyuan, there have never been four scholars at once. Do you think he will regret studying abroad?"

Gu Erlang knew who Ma Shan meant by "him", "So what if I study in the village? My talent is limited, and I can't work as hard as Liulang and the others."

Yes, it’s not because my second brother is so talented that our father just said he doesn’t want to boast about it.

"Rokuro and Oe worked very hard, reading books day and night. Even on New Year's Eve, their wrists were swollen from writing. They kept rubbing their faces with snow because they were afraid of being sleepy in the cold winter."

Yes, yes, the second brother is working hard, and the family is too poor to buy charcoal.

No, I don’t dare to use charcoal at home because I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep if it’s too warm!

"With how hard Rokuro and the others work, it's hard for anyone to be able to hold on. Fortunately, God loves stupid people, so if you help them, you can be considered a scholar."

Brother, when you say this, I don’t even know how to respond.

Gu Baoya looked at Gu Erlang sadly, hugging his little head that was busy nodding.

Gu Erlang tried his best to hold back his laughter, "I have worked hard for such a long time, and I need to take a good rest.

Fortunately, that idiot Rokuro got his wish and saved me and my father from having to work as slaves, so we could calm down for a while. "

Not to mention being exempted from having to do covet work, Ma Shan just stopped by and listened to the excitement today. She really didn't expect that her brother-in-law would be ranked first, and she would be exempted from having to do two dings of covet work in the house.

In other words, not only her father-in-law, but also her man was exempted from labor?

"Ah, ah!"

Gu Erlang, Gu Baoya, and even Xiao Changsuo were shocked.

"Hahaha……"

crazy?

Gu Erlang looked at his childish daughter-in-law, dumbfounded, and waved his hand to the little girl who was staring at Ma Shan's belly with worry, saying it didn't matter, and let your sister-in-law have a good laugh.

"Mom, you scared my sister." Xiao Changsuo missed his father's gesture and hurriedly covered Ma Shan's belly with his little hands, "Don't be afraid, my sister is not afraid."

Ma Shan suppressed a laugh and stretched out her hand to pinch her precious son's little face. "You know what does it mean that your father no longer has to do corvee work? Your grandpa and the others don't know yet."

Gu Baoya opened and closed her mouth.

It's better not to say anything.

How could Uncle Ma and the others not know? She had heard Uncle Ma joke that if she had known Brother Dajiang was ranked 20th, she would not have lost a spot in vain.

Uncle Ma understood. They all said that the first twenty people were guaranteed to be juniors, while Brother Wenyu and Uncle Changping could only avoid having to work indoors.

Uncle Ma even calculated clearly how much land tax each of the four people could be exempted from.

We also know that there is nothing wrong with being a scholar. If you succeed in the examination, you will have to allocate at least fifty acres to the clan and be exempted from the land tax.

It is said that the eldest uncle of the Zhao family ran things like this back then. We can't just listen to people making noises without precedent and no rules in Qinghe Village. (End of chapter)
