Chapter 23 Everything is fine
"This is my elder brother...Brother, this is the lilac girl from my master's house. This young man is..." When the relatives came, Gui Qiu introduced her with a little excitement. When she saw Gui Chongyang, she was a little hesitant.
The fat black girl looked at the half-grown child in front of her and was a little curious. It was really Gui Chongyang's demeanor like a young master in the town. Even though she did not have silk and satin all over her body, her face was white and tender, and she was a long gown, without any slight scent of village spirit.
Gui Qiu and the fat black girl both looked at Gui Chun and waited for his introduction.
"This is my cousin Chongyang who came back from the south. He is four years younger than you and from the fourth uncle's house." Gui Chun said honestly.
"Fourth Uncle?" Gui Qiu frowned, thought for a while before widening her eyes: "That Fourth Uncle, from Grandpa's house?"
Gui Chun nodded, Gui Chongyang had already started calling people: "Brother Qiu, Sister Zhou."
Gui Qiu's master's surname is Zhou. It is hard to call Gui Chongyang directly the name of a girl, so he called her by her surname. Gui Chun was beside him and followed Gui Chongyang's name: "Miss from the Zhou family, let's go and go and do some things."
Zhou Dingxiang responded and said, "Brother Gui, brother Gui, sit down and talk, I'll go back to the stove first." The time of speaking was already gone.
The three brothers sat down, and Gui Qiu stared at Gui Chongyang up and down several times.
During the "Nine Dings Incident", Gui Qiu still remembered it, so he did not hate the clan uncle who was the culprit. He just listened to the scolding of his grandparents, and had no good impression of him.
"The fourth uncle is back too? My mother said nothing?" Gui Qiu was curious and responded to everyone in the family: "My cousin is so old? The fourth aunt over there is also back. What should I do if my cousin does?"
There is no reason to ignore the bloodline, but a beat is inevitable, right?
This little cousin seems to be not the same as his family. Is the fourth uncle rich? Is it because he returns home in glory or other reasons? Is the little cousin filial piety? The biological mother? Are the ones who come back from a living person or a coffin? Did the fourth uncle take advantage of the opportunity of losing his wife to "return to his roots"? When the fourth uncle stole the money and ran away from home, he was younger than himself, only fifteen, not yet a child, and he is almost thirty this year.
Gui Qiu had various questions in his mind, but because Gui Chongyang was present, it was difficult to ask each other directly, so he asked questions in a roundabout way.
"Uncle Fourth... It was gone last year, but Aunt Fourth was gone when she was a child in Chongyang. Her breasts didn't say anything, but her cousin was happy that there was an incense in the long room and said that she would offer her Chongyang study in the future." Gui Chun said.
Gui Qiu listened, his eyes lit up and said, "You can read Chongyang, how are you doing? Can you pass the exam for the Tongsheng?" The next sentence was so eager to ask Gui Chongyang directly.
Gui Chongyang has been paying attention to Gui Qiu's reaction. Gui's family has been suffering for more than ten years because Guiyuan has been suffering. Could it be that he will not hold grudges or take off his anger? Why is it that he will accept it directly without doubt?
Full of doubt, Gui Chongyang still said modestly: "You may try the next year."
The children's examination is divided into three categories, the county examination, the government examination is available every year, and the college examination is twice in three years. After passing the government examination, he is a child, and after passing the college examination, he is a scholar.
This year is the 20th year of Yongle, and next year is the 21st year of Yongle, the year of the provincial examination, and there is no hospital examination; the next year, the filial piety will be released in the Chongyang period of Guizhou, and the hospital examination will be there again. If it goes well, a scholar will be obtained in a year.
"How sure?" Gui Qiu asked.
Seeing his expectant look, Gui Chongyang weighed it in his heart and said, "The hospital examination depends on luck. The county examination is not afraid of the government examination."
Chinese people have always been concerned about modesty. When Gui Chongyang's words make others feel unconscious of being modest and will make jokes, but he is really serious and does not say anything like a joke.
Gui Qiu polished his fists and said, "How old are you? As long as you pass the county examination, you will be successful. Don't worry about your family. I will support you in the future with my cousin."
Gui Chongyang was shocked. This "turning enemies into friends" was too fast.
I heard Gui Qiu pull Gui Chun and said, "Brother, a few days ago, the Dragon Boat Festival race, the county master summoned the county students to write poems and write. The boy from the Mei family won the first place. The county master directly rewarded him with ten taels of silver for him to buy books. That was ten taels of silver. The family could not save for a few years, and a poem could be done. I have understood it. If you want to get better, you must not study! The master also said that it is difficult for poor families to have noble children. If you want to live a good life, you have to change your family. Even if your little cousin has only a child, a scholar will be produced in the next generation, and a juren will be produced in the next generation, and a juren will be produced in the next generation, and a life will be launched. If you don't talk about others, isn't this the Mei family?"
The two brothers have different temperaments. Guichun is really honest and has no brains. Guiqiu is a person who knows it in his heart and sees it longer than Guichun.
Gui Chun disagreed: "Whoever lives are getting better step by step, how can there be a good thing to achieve success? Even if you study in Chongyang, you can't put all these on him. He is still young."
Gui Qiu said: "I didn't think about waiting for the ready-made one. I will learn the skills from my master and I will slowly make money in the future."
Gui Chun nodded and said, "It's better to be down-to-earth. Others are better than others, so we don't envy them. It's said that Mei Sheng is Wenquxing descending to earth... It's not like..."
Gui Qiu didn't argue with Gui Chun, and secretly waved his fist at Gui Chongyang, "Come on".
Gui Chongyang did not nod and said, "Second brother, since you know the importance of studying, do you think about going back to school? Did you and Brother Chun also follow your aunt to have sex, but they were delayed later? If you have tuition fees, don't worry, my father left me some money."
Gui Qiu laughed when she heard this: "Where is that piece of material? It's already a long time to understand all the words. When I was a child, I felt that it was a mighty place to be a bookkeeper. I thought that when I got to know the words, I would learn to do the bookkeeper. I was happy to listen to the abacus."
But the accountant is different from the cook. The cook is a physical job and needs a handyman around him. He can always learn a lot when he is an apprentice and do chores for three or five years. However, the accountant can be a lifetime. How many people have the original intention to lead an apprentice?
Before Gui Chongyang could speak again, someone next to him said, "Okay, you only like to be a accountant, but you don't like to be a cook, right? Humph, I'll tell my dad to go back."
It was Zhou Dingxiang who came over with two bowls of noodles, and he happened to hear this sentence, jokingly.
Guichun was uneasy when she heard this. Guiqiu had already jumped up and bowed and begged for mercy: "In the future, I call you sister, so you can spare me. That was my childhood wish. Now I want to be a good cook!"
Zhou Dingxiang gave Gui Qiu a white look, ignored him with a few "hum" and brought the noodle bowl to Gui Chun, in front of Gui Chongyang: "Come on the morning trip, eat a bowl of noodle to make a hunger."
Gui Chun stood up and refused. Gui Chongyang had already stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Sister Zhou, I got up early in the morning, and I'm now hungry. It smells fragrant. Sister Zhou is very skilled."
Zhou Dingxiang smiled and said, "I think it's good too. My father said I'm still far from it. I've long said that I think I belong to my senior sister." The last sentence was a bit proud and said to Gui Qiu.
Gui Qiu also felt obedient and immediately said, "Senior sister!"
"Hey!" Zhou Dingxiang responded immediately, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.
Gui Qiu also smiled, helplessly, and there was a little more warmth.
Such a carefree girl can't help but attract people's attention.
Gui Chun was a little uncomfortable with this kind of teasing, but Gui Chongyang was happily watching.
Such a straightforward and cheerful girl has a good temperament without covering up her personality; black spots can be maintained, while fat people seem to be "profiting children".
Gui Chongyang only felt that the sky was blue and the grass was green, and the hidden worries in his heart were gone. He was obviously a little cousin, but he always remembered that he wanted to be a team leader and began to feel like he was a father.
