Pastoral hilarious idiots love to the bone

Chapter 54, What I've Seen and Heard

When Gu Laoshi returned home, when Gu Yong saw the crickets, he was very happy.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle!"

"Take it and play!"

The Gu family dotes on their children. Although two crickets and twenty cents are enough for a day's expenses for an ordinary family, no one said that this money should not be spent.

Gu Laoshi carried the things to the kitchen and let them cook for dinner.

When Tianyuan came back this time, he practiced martial arts even harder. This kind of hard work is not only brute force, but also ingenuity.

"You seem to be a little different this time!" Master Tian laughed at the side.

"When I was practicing against Gu An, he gave me some pointers!"

"..."

Master Tian also knew that the children of the Gu family were smart and good at reading.

Unexpectedly, in terms of martial arts, it is simple and not bad.

"Are you still there this evening?"

"In the past, come back tomorrow morning, master, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, let's go!"

The Gu family is kind-hearted, and it is right to socialize more.

Tian Yuan earnestly practiced kung fu, and went to Gu's house in the evening. When he arrived at Gu's house, he asked Gu Huanxi and Gu Yong to practice Wuqinxi, and waited for Gu Jun, Gu An, and Gu Qi to come back. read.

Tian Yuan's feet are as big as Gu Laoshi's, and Gu Laoshi's shoes are just right.

Luo Shi measured Tian Yuan again, and modified some of Gu Laoshi's clothes that were probably new to him.

"This Tianyuan grows really tall, I'm afraid it will be taller than you in the future!"

"Boys, it's better to be taller!" Gu honestly said, and dishonestly touched Luo Shi's face.

It made Luo Shi blush, and he didn't give him a good face.

Gu Laoshi was not annoyed, and sat on the sidelines to settle accounts.

"We made money this year!"

"I made some money, and I made up for it. It's just enough to buy this house!"

Luo Shi smiled slightly, "Counting the more than 200 taels before?"

"Count it!"

"That's good, no matter what, we are considered to have a family, work hard, life will get better!" Luo Shi said, slightly paused. "It's not like when will Manager Shu come?"

"No hurry, he will come!"

"Well, our buttons are so pretty, he will come!"

Gu Laoshi nodded, "When he comes this time, I plan to talk to him, can I ask someone else to make this button, or sell him two of this button!"

"What?" Luo Shi was surprised, "Why does Haoduanduan show off?"

"It's like this. You see, we don't have much silver in our hands. If this is done, if he doesn't come to get it, it will be thrown into his hands. I plan to do this business myself, not just sell it to him, And sell it to someone else!"

Luo Shi disagreed, "Don't mess around, you have to know that behind him is the Empress Dowager, we ordinary people can't afford to provoke him!"

This is what Gu Laoshi is worried about.

It's just that he wants to make money, make a lot of money, and wants to give his daughter and daughter-in-law better.

After a long silence, Gu Laoshi said, "Let me think about it!"

This is something to really think about.

I'm afraid you shouldn't take this way of deduction, after all, the Shu family really can't afford to offend.

But if he was hanging on such a tree, he would not be reconciled.

Luo Shi glanced at Gu Laoshi, "I can't give you any advice, why don't you ask An'er, or be happy!"

"Yeah, I can ask Huanxi about this!" After Gu Laoshi was happy, he calmed down again, "It's not appropriate, Huanxi is still young, but he is worried about this family. As a father, how can I be so happy?" If you want your daughter to make up her mind about everything, let me think about it first!"

Luo Shi nodded silently, concentrating on mending the clothes.

Tianyuan found out that Gu Huanxi has been a little inattentive recently, especially when she is reading, she will wander off and draw cats and dogs on white paper, just a few strokes, but the drawings are cute and tight.

He also learned it secretly, but the drawings were very ugly.

He may not have the talent for it.

Gu An has also been a little absent-minded recently, looking at more strategies and tactics.

He wants to join the army and become a general in the future.

But even if you want to be a general, you have to be capable and have something in your head, otherwise you can only be a pawn.

Not to mention Gu An, even Gu Jun and Gu Qi are a little off, because the elder brother Gu Cheng went to the imperial capital to catch up for the exam, and he doesn't know what's going on now.

On weekdays, when the elder brother is at home, he has a backbone, so he just needs to learn from the elder brother in what to do.

But now that the eldest brother is not here, I feel a little worried.

Tian Yuan soon discovered that everyone in the room was a little absent-minded.

"Why don't we play something else!" Gu Jun suggested.

"What are you playing?"

Gu Jun thought for a while, "How about playing chess?"

"Row!"

After finding the chess pieces, several people started to play chess.

draw lots.

Gu Jun, Gu Qi, and Gu Yong are in the first team, and Gu An, Tian Yuan, and Gu Huanxi are in the first team.

Gu An rubbed his forehead, ready to lose.

This is just the beginning of downloading. Basically, Gu Jun and Gu An are downloading, while Gu Huanxi is watching.

Watching chess does not speak a true gentleman.

Gu Huanxi didn't say anything, although she knew how to play chess, and she played it pretty well.

Tian Yuan was very interested. He stared at Gu Jun and Gu An, and then pondered.

Why did the two take this step? What kind of conspiracy or calculation is there?
When Gu Yushi came over, he saw that the children were not reading, and he didn't say much, so he put down the hot water and went out.

The children of the Gu family don't need adults to worry about, besides reading is tiring, just let them play, after playing well, they will learn to read.

July tenth
Imperial Capital
Gu Cheng followed Chu Huaixi to the imperial capital, only to find that Chu Huaixi's aunt was married very well.

The house they live in now is the dowry of Aunt Chu Huaixi.

The location is a bit out of the way, and the place is not big, but in a place like the imperial capital, there is nothing that cannot be bought for 5000 taels.

This is only in the south city, if it is in the north city, even 1 taels would not be able to buy it.

"You guys stay here first, what do you need to tell the servants!" Xu Chu said, and said to Chu Huaixi with a smile, "I wanted you to live in the mansion, but there is something going on in the mansion recently, so you live here first! "

"Auntie, it's okay, you can go as soon as you can, Zilian and I will take care of ourselves, there are still servants here, if I need anything, I will tell the servants!" Chu Huaixi hurriedly said.

"Well, Auntie listens to you!" Xu Chu ordered again, and then took the people back to Xu's house.

For Chu Huaixi's friend Gu Cheng, Xu Chu didn't dislike Gu Cheng at all, and he didn't look down on him at all. You must know that today's sages and sages value talented people very much.

If Gu Cheng were in high school, it would be of great help to her and the Xu family.

After taking Xu Chu away, Chu Huaixi said, "My aunt's mother-in-law is celebrating her birthday. It is said that all the dignitaries will come, so you go with me when the time comes!"

"I……"

Gu Cheng hesitated.

It's good to go, to meet more people.

It will be of great benefit to the road of imperial examination in the future.

But his status, will it be lower?
"That's right, you are my friend. I'll take you and my cousins ​​to get to know each other first. Then the others will gradually get to know each other. Zilian, it's you and me who bother you. I'll take care of everyone else." Never mind!"

"Thank you!" Gu Cheng hurriedly cupped his fists.

Chu Huaixi pushed Gu Cheng, "I'm not going to see you anymore, be careful, I'll beat you up!"

Gu Cheng laughed, "Not really!"

"Okay, to be honest, your girl is just too young. If she was older, I wouldn't be married yet!"

"..."

Gu Cheng looked at Chu Huaixi in astonishment.

This guy.

Huanxi is only five years old.

"Huanxi is still young!" Gu Cheng hurriedly said.

"That's right, I said I'm still young. For a five-year-old child, if there is a ten-year-old, I can wait for four or five years. But for ten years, I can wait. My mother and grandmother can't wait." !" Chu Huaixi said, looking at Gu Cheng with a smirk.

Gu Cheng was always calm.

Even when the sky fell, he didn't panic.

But just now, he saw Gu Cheng flustered.

Really rare!
Gu Cheng was relieved when he heard the words, looked at Chu Huaixi, and said after a while, "If you are ten years younger, you are worthy of my sister!"

Regardless of family background and character, Chu Huaixi is excellent.

Whether it's academic or not, this time the exam is set.

"Tsk tsk tsk, except for your sister, you have no flaws at all. Be careful in the future, and don't let anyone catch your weakness!"

Gu Chengmo.

But slightly nodded.

He wasn't afraid of the sky falling, but Gu Huanxi, his younger sister, was in his heart's pain.

Chu Huaixi patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder, "I'm just talking about being cranky, I like your sister very much too, there's no other distracting thoughts!"

"I know!"

He knew it, so he didn't punch him.

After everything was packed, Gu Cheng couldn't help thinking of going home.

When I was at home, there were people tidying up everywhere, and Rhubarb would shake his head and tail when he went out and returned home.

Now outside, you need to be cautious everywhere, and you have to go through your words three times in your heart, lest you say something, offend others, and cause trouble for yourself and your family.

"I have to write a letter to go back!"

Picking up a pen, Gu Cheng first said that everything was fine for him, so that the family didn’t need to worry, and then asked if everything was fine at home, packed the two gadgets he bought and a few copied books, and asked the boy to take him to the post office The museum sent the things back to Kaiyuan County.

Also by the way report safe.

In the imperial capital Gu Cheng did not go out to wander around, but studied hard in the room.

He knew that in the imperial capital, it was not possible to walk around casually.

People on the street should not easily offend people. If they have relatives behind them, dignitaries, or relatives of the emperor, they will not know how they died.

Even if he went out, Gu Cheng would still be in Tsing Yi, dressed as a scholar, not ostentatious, not causing trouble, let alone meddling in other people's business.When I borrowed a book from a book shop, I copied it carefully.

He copied two copies, kept one for himself to read, and kept the other to send home when the time came.

"Gu Cheng, tidy up tomorrow and take you out!" Chu Huaixi laughed.

"Where are you going?" Gu Cheng asked.

His eyes were calm, neither eager nor delighted.

Very calm.

This is what Chu Huaixi appreciates.

"Go to my aunt's house. My aunt's mother-in-law is not celebrating her birthday, and there are quite a few people here. You should follow along and salute, and then I will introduce my cousins ​​to you!"

"Do you need to prepare a congratulatory gift?"

"Well..." Chu Huaixi thought for a while before saying, "The old lady believes in Buddhism!"

"Then let me give you a Momofuku, it's just a wish!"

"That's right, that's the reason. The old lady has everything, as long as you get what you want!"

Gu Cheng nodded.

I found rice paper, first wrote Baifu on one side, and then wrote it on the big rice paper. The words are strong and powerful.

Gu Cheng looked very satisfied.

He wrote his name on the signature and drove away to Gu Cheng.

Chu Huaixi watched from the side, and sighed, "Your character is very strong!"

The corners of Gu Cheng's eyes were slightly stained with a smile.

This gift is considered light now, but who knows what will happen ten years later!

The Xu family used to be a rich family, and they moved here when the current Taihuang built the city at Qixia Ferry, and now there is a concubine, who gave birth to the second prince and the fourth princess, which made the Xu family even more prosperous .

If the emperor can come tomorrow...

Xu's
Mrs. Xu was sitting on a chair, looking at the grandsons and granddaughters below, with a smile spreading all over her heart.

"Is there anyone from En Guogong and Yi Guogong?"

"Go back to mother, the prince and concubine are here!"

Mrs. Xu's smile deepened upon hearing this.

"What about the Han family?"

The Han family is the queen's mother's family.

Mrs. Xu is not sure whether the Han family will come.

"It's not here yet!"

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, "I see, you all go!"

"Yes, mother!"

There is no room here either, and soon someone will come to pay their respects.

Mrs. Xu kept smiling.

Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, it is good to say that the maids and mothers-in-law carefully accept whatever birthday gifts are given by others.

It was the first time for Gu Cheng to enter such a family.

Rich and luxurious.

He was a little excited, but he hid his excitement very well, and followed Chu Huaixi calmly.

The servant next to him was holding a brocade box in his hand.

"Old madam, the second wife's natal nephew is here to pay your birthday wishes!"

Mrs. Xu smiled, and when she saw Chu Huaixi and Gu Cheng coming up, she laughed first.

"Huaixi has met the old lady, I wish the old lady a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan!"

Gu Cheng also stepped forward and said, "Boy Gu Cheng wishes the old lady good luck and a long life!"

Mrs. Xu naturally understood that Gu Cheng came here with Chu Huaixi, and the three-year exam was about to take place. Although it was an exam for Juren, if he won the Juren, Gongsheng would not be far away.

He also told his grandson, "Treat your cousin and Mr. Gu well later!"

"Yes, grandma!" Xu Yuanyang said hurriedly, winking at Chu Huai.

The maid stepped forward to receive the birthday presents from Chu Huaixi and Gu Cheng. Although she was respectful, she didn't take the birthday presents seriously at all.

Xu Yuanyang called Chu Huaixi and Gu Cheng to sit in the front yard, and when the three arrived, there were already many people here.

Salute and introduce each other.

With Xu Yuanyang as the master, Gu Cheng and Chu Huaixi quickly integrated into these noble sons, at least on the surface, no one made things difficult for them.

"Brother Xu, I heard that the Second Prince will also be here today!"

"En!" Xu Yuanyang nodded.

A look of honor.

Gu Cheng sat on the side, took a sip of tea, and looked at the room without haste.

There are windows on all sides, and the tall camphor trees outside block the scorching sun. There should have been cicadas chirping, but they were captured and taken away, but it was peaceful and peaceful.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince is here!"

"Why is His Royal Highness here?"

Everyone panicked suddenly.

You must know that His Royal Highness, Long Ao, is 15 years old this year. He is talented in culture and martial arts, and has extraordinary knowledge, but his temper is a bit surly. Usually, if he doesn't make a move, he will kill someone.

This is the first time Gu Cheng sees Long Ao.

The boy was dressed in black brocade clothes with auspicious clouds embroidered on his clothes, and there was no smile on his handsome face.

When he stepped forward, there was an aura of "no one should enter" all over his body.

"You don't need to be too polite, just do whatever you want!" Long Ao said, and walked to one side of the chair and sat down.

The second prince Long Kan sat beside him and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, do you want to stay for lunch later?"

"No, just sit for a while and leave!" Long Ao said, his eyes swept slightly.

Seemingly careless.

Gu Cheng felt that he was looking for someone...

As for why he felt this way, Gu Cheng couldn't tell.

Long Ao glanced around, then got up and left.

"Brother Huang, I'll see you off!"

Long Ao shook his head slightly, and left with his entourage.

Long Kan winked to one side and left immediately.

Only Gu Cheng saw all this clearly.

Gu Cheng hurriedly lowered his head to hide the speculation in his heart.

Frowning slightly, he stretched out his hand to pull Chu Huaixi.

"What's wrong?" Chu Huaixi asked.

"My stomach hurts a little. Maybe it's because I ate too much in the morning. Brother Chu, I'm going back first!"

"Okay, I'll send you back home!"

Chu Huaixi asked someone to send Gu Cheng back, and continued talking with others.

When Gu Cheng left Xu's mansion, he found that there were still many people coming to Xu's mansion, all of them brought birthday gifts, and the people who greeted guests at the gate were all hoarse.

It was the first time he had seen such a grand occasion, but he didn't have the excitement when he first entered the door.

More is the heart that gradually calms down.

The Xu family must support the second prince, but Chu Huaixi, needless to say, is also set on the second prince.

However, Gu Cheng had an idea in his mind that the concubines are superior and inferior, although the second prince is also a prince and his mother is a noble concubine, he is also a concubine after all...

It's a bit disrespectful.

But in his heart, he chose the prince.

This is orthodox!
Gu Cheng didn't know what happened to the Xu family after he left, and he didn't know that there were already countless deaths and injuries across the street.

Back in the courtyard, Gu Cheng sat by the window in a daze.

Even if he passed the Juren examination this time, he would have to wait twenty years before the imperial examination.

When you are young, you don’t have enough xinxing, and you are easy to fall into the trap of others. When you are older, you can enter the officialdom and have a stable xinxing, so that you will not be calculated by others.

What Gu Cheng didn't know was that soon, there would be a wind blowing in the imperial capital.

Girls no longer compare whether the clothes are beautiful or not, but whether the buttons on the clothes are fine, beautiful and unique enough.

Kaiyuan County, Gu Family.

August
Before Shudayi came, the Gu family members were in a hurry.

Even Gu Huanxi, who didn't want to take care of things, couldn't sit still.

Luo Shi couldn't eat anything that got angry.

"Mom!" Gu Huanxi walked up to Luo Shi with a pear in his hand, and handed a piece to Luo Shi, "I peeled it, mother eats a piece!"

"Did you take a kitchen knife?" Luo asked in surprise, and hurriedly took Gu Huanxi's hand to check carefully. Seeing that everything was fine and there was no hole, he felt relieved, "Don't take a kitchen knife next time!"

"Enn, I listen to mother!"

Luo Shi smiled slightly, took the pear and ate it in small bites.

This pear was originally crunchy and sweet, she liked it very much, but today she felt a little disgusted after eating it...
