Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 437 It’s a kid

Night slowly fell, and stars gradually appeared in the sky. The Gu family's house was already brightly lit. As soon as Gu Baoya stepped into the house, she was caught.

As Grandma Gu, her three sisters-in-law and others arrived one after another, there were more female relatives staying in the inner courtyard, so Gu Erzhu had to accompany Ma Dazhuang to the front yard.

The old girl wished she could shrink her body even more so as to come in unnoticed. Gu Erzhu subconsciously glanced behind her.

Where is the eldest grandson?

Just as I was about to ask, I suddenly remembered that I had previously hidden outside with my old daughter, and my old son and his wife took their eldest grandson out together.

Gu Baoya smiled flatteringly, "Daddy, I have persuaded my second sister-in-law to take good care of the long lock. My second sister-in-law is worried about my eldest sister-in-law, and I am also worried about my eldest sister-in-law. I will go find my eldest brother."

She is worthy of being his daughter!
After saying everything that needed to be said to Uncle Ma in just a few words, Gu Erzhu waved his hand proudly and turned to coax the absent-minded Ma Dazhuang.

Time passed minute by minute. Ma Shan was suffering in labor in the delivery room set up in the east wing, and people in the courtyard were pacing back and forth.

I don’t know how long it took, the sky became darker and darker, the moonlight became brighter and brighter, and then a baby’s cry of “wa…” rang out like the sound of nature.

All of a sudden, everyone was eager to rush into the east wing. Among them, Gu Erlang paused, and then quickly occupied a favorable position.

"It's a boy." The curtain of the small hall in the east wing was lifted early today, and Madam Ma came out with a smile on her face and announced the good news first, "Sir, it's a boy."

For the first sound, Gu Baoya thought she might have heard it wrong, but for the last sound, she definitely would not have heard it wrong. Her eldest nephew would be disappointed, because it was not a sister, but a brother.

The home of Patriarch Gu.

Gu Wenxuan got his wish and let his wife 'passively' join in the moon worship activities at his great-grandfather's house, and also let his eldest nephew follow a group of children to worship the Rabbit God.

After the ceremony, he was thinking that it was getting late and he should stay in the small courtyard near the workshop for the night, when he received the good news that he had a new nephew.

What are you still doing here?

Ma Shan was able to give birth to a son safely, and both mother and child were safe. Even Zhou Banxia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said goodbye to Gu Wenxuan, who was holding Changsuo, and went home.

Ma Shan, who had just given birth, was still very weak and had fallen asleep. Her mother stayed with her, and her mother-in-law lent a hand, so both the adult and the child were taken care of.

Everything at home was in order, and there were enough people to take care of the mother and child. Not only Zhou Banxia, ​​but Gu Wenxuan also slept peacefully that night.

When he woke up the next day, Gu Wenxuan paid more attention to the child and it sounded like he was not a crybaby. However, he had to set out for the county school with Dajiang and others before 3:15 am.

Since I had been there once before to handle student registration and other matters, it was not unfamiliar for me to arrive at the county school during the Chen time on this day to complete the admission procedures.

After completing all the formalities, you will first receive a "student ID card" - a wooden "nameplate" that proves your identity as a student of Qingyang County School.

Then, with this "student ID", each new student can receive two sets of "school uniforms" for free, but of course they have to pay for "school uniforms" after that.

Whether it was a county school, a prefectural school, or the Imperial Academy, there was a rule that students in the academy were not allowed to wear their own clothes and must wear uniform.

In addition, they were not allowed to bring along servants or book boys. There was no doubt that the main purpose of this was to eliminate the personal superiority complex of the rich kids.

However, Gu Wenxuan was too lazy to complain about it being too unrealistic. Although the starting point for students to enter the county school was a scholar, there were several levels of scholars, which did not mean that every scholar could afford to wear the "new school uniform" every year.

A scholar is completely useless. Which scholar did not rely on his family to support him all the way from the county examination to the imperial examination? It is okay for children from rich families, but common people must at least provide a juren before they can say that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

After getting the "school uniform", it's time to go to the "dormitory".

Compared with previous years, there are more scholars this year. With new ones coming in, the old ones cannot pass the exam, so now only two people can live in one "dormitory".

There is no doubt that Gu Wenxuan and Zhou Yujiang live in the same room.

As for the conditions, it doesn't cost a penny for accommodation, there is a large window on the side of the door that lets in a lot of light, and there are all kinds of things inside, such as a bed, a table, and chairs. What's the point of having a bathroom?

The two of them made their beds first, then placed the four treasures of the study that they had brought with them on the desk. It was almost noon, and it was time to get their "student ID cards" and go to the cafeteria.

According to the preferential exemption rules, students can eat and drink in the county school or the prefectural school, and have fixed dormitories for them to study.

In other words, just like in the "dormitory", he and Dajiang ate in the county school cafeteria. The food was free, but it was awful.

You must arrive at the school before the beginning of the next day, which is to give the students time to get to know each other. After that, it is up to the students to decide whether to leave or stay.

There is not much to do on the first day of school. It is mainly about completing the formalities and getting familiar with the environment. Classes will not start until after the entrance ceremony the next morning.

Generally speaking, the management of the county school is not strict, and students who are not at the bottom of the class in terms of academic performance have a decent degree of freedom.

For example, according to regulations, students are not allowed to live outside the county school, but you can ask for leave if there is an emergency. If you take a long vacation, you must make sure your ranking does not drop.

Like Dajiang, Gu Wenxuan returned to the village before sunset. After washing up at home, he also told his parents and family about what he saw and heard in the county school today.

Zhou Banxia, ​​who was present, listened quietly, thinking that it was almost the same as going to college. When Gu Wenxuan mentioned asking for leave, she felt convinced.

It’s okay not to accept it.

The class hasn't even started yet and I'm already talking so much that my mouth is almost dry. How can the focus not be on "You can take a leave even if you have an emergency"?

I don't know who has never skipped classes from elementary school to university, and there has never been a single day when he has stayed in the classroom quietly. Now he has a ready-made excuse to skip classes.

"... Dad, I've thought about it carefully today. Aside from the teacher, I still have to take time off to attend classes. I'm also worried about my wife.

It's not that I'm worried that you and my mother can't take care of her, so I'm asked to come back every month on the first and fifteenth day of the month. I'm afraid my wife won't recognize me anymore."

Correct!
I won't recognize you now.

"This is my plan. Can you help me think about it? Is this feasible? I will stay in the county school for a month or so to see if it is suitable for me to stay there for a long time.

If the teachers there are not as good as you, then I might as well take a few days out of every month to study hard at home. I can also accompany you and take care of the family.

Furthermore, I am not trying to show off, but even Mr. Bai said that it is not easy for him to review and correct the essays and policy papers I write now. This is not him being modest.

Of course, our county school teacher is a fellow Jinshi. He is well-educated, but there are so many students in the county school. I also have a teacher, so he can’t focus his attention on me.”
