Mr. Gu and his wife Zhang were talking in the house, and saw the second child at home carrying a bedding on his shoulder, a sack in his left hand, and a roll of cloth under his right arm.
Gu Xiangqiao followed him and entered the door together.
"Which cloth store did you go to grab?"
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Zhang jumped off the bed in fear.
Gu Laoshi smiled honestly and put the bedding down first, and piled the grain he brought to the next to the cabinet: "It was all bought by Sanniang for her wages, so it's cheap."
Zhang's expression gradually calmed down a little. He looked up and down at Gu Xiang, and only told him a few words to not cause trouble when he was away or cause trouble for the family. He sent them back to rest.
Gu Laoshi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When the county government asked Sanniang to go to Yongyijun to be the cook, he naturally didn't want to. In addition to having an impact on his daughter's reputation, he was even more afraid that his mother would get angry.
His mother is stubborn and has a bad temper. She doesn't like their family very much. He even thinks that Sanniang comes back this time, so she has to let her mother scold her again. She didn't expect that she would pass the test so easily.
Seeing his son and granddaughter go out, Gu Laoshi couldn't help but look at his wife and tickled.
Zhang rolled his eyes and locked the cloth back into the cabinet on his own: "It's not that I don't understand the truth. Since it's an errand assigned by the county government, can we still refuse?"
"Besides... Er Niang cursed her daughter in front of her second and second wife. Even if she was sick, the second child was afraid that she would not be happy. At this time, I was not so stupid as to get angry again!"
Gu Erniang, who was considered crazy by her family, was also hesitant and dazed at this time, and seemed to be in a dream. She took advantage of her mother's conversation with her second aunt and sneaked out of the yard and went straight to Gu Laoshi's house. She was hesitating and wondering how to test it, so Gu Laoshi led Gu Xiang into the yard.
"Second lady?"
As soon as Gu Laoshi entered the door, he saw his niece and couldn't help frowning.
She was unconscious and was taken home by her mother that day, and her family was worried for half a day. As a result, when the girl opened her eyes, she saw him like a ghost. She cried and muttered something, saying that their daughter died of illness and that the death of the two of them was not her business. She was dying and was dying, and she was making trouble for the whole family.
Gu Laoshi was a little upset, but she saw her face white and thin, and she was much thinner than before. After all, she was her niece, so she was not hard to blame, "Sei Mother, why are you out? You are not in good health, don't blow the cold wind."
Gu Erniang seemed to have never heard it, and looked up at Gu Xiang's face, her eyes flashing: "Gu Xiang!"
Gu Xiang and her cheap cousin walked face to face, and suddenly became a little surprised - Gu Erniang looked a little different from what she remembered.
In the original memory, Gu Erniang spoke loudly, was sarcastic, and was very jealous. She always had anger when she saw her family. But today, her shoulders were slightly lowered, her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes were timid. She seemed to have made some decorations on her face - her dressing movements, especially the moment she just raised her hand to lift her hair, it seemed a bit like "Gu Xiang".
It's not the present, it's like the future in the original memory, but it looks rough and a bit artificial.
She is very slow in some aspects, but she is intuitively keen, and she prefers to be wild and random in her mind. Now her five senses are even stronger. After a few glances, she realizes that something is abnormal on the other person.
Gu Xiang's thoughts were churning, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he said politely: "My grandmother has returned from visiting her. As a granddaughter, she must come back to pay a visit. My second sister is here just in time. I brought a few pieces of cloth to my aunt before I wanted to send it back to her."
Hearing the words "bu", the eldest uncle Xiao Zhang immediately came out of the house: "What a thick material. Our third lady is very promising, smart and filial. Brother and sister, I don't think you have to worry about it. What's wrong with going to Yongyijun as a cook? It's not very good. This girl in my family doesn't have this luck. If she has the skills of the third lady, I would still want to send her there."
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes.
But when Gu Xiang saw Gu Erniang's face turned pale when she heard the three words "Yong Yijun", her body shrank slightly, and her eyes were dissipated.
After a moment of distracted, the aunt was already holding the cloth roll with excitement, holding her daughter's sleeve and happily going home.
Gu Laoshi quickly closed the yard gate, turned around and looked at his daughter carefully. Seeing that the child looked good, he finally felt relieved.
"Come in the room and rest. I asked Xiaozhuzi to call Goro. Oh, that kid was clamoring for a long time to find his sister."
Gu Xiang smiled: "What is Goro's homework?"
Wulang Gu Hai's original younger brother is five years younger than Yuan Shi and is also the youngest male in the Gu family. Although he is a little naughty in Yuan Shi's memory, he is also a well-behaved and good brother.
The Gu family is poor, but Mr. Gu always thinks that at least the children at home should read and not be blind. Among the eldest sons, the second son is unable to study. When the third son is old, the family gets a little bit more, so he squeezes out money to send the third son to a private school.
When it comes to his grandchildren, both of his grandsons were studying, and even his granddaughter was taught by Jiang's family.
However, natural disasters have been frequent in the past two years, and this tuition expense has become increasingly difficult.
"...Wuro won't have to go to a private school next year. I'll ask someone to find a job for him in the county. He can read and find a job. It's better than digging food in the field."
Gu Laoshi was a little reluctant, "Although the family has made some money to build a dike recently, the study expenses are too high. The third brother must study. It's okay to pay for one boy, but two of them are really not good. Silang has talent than Goro in his studies, so he should pay for him."
In Gu Xiang's impression, Gu's Silang and Wulang have similar talents in studying. They are not talented, but they are not stupid. It is expected to continue studying as scholars, but without help or resources, it is probably unlikely that Juren.
Children from ordinary people have no famous teachers, not much reading, and do not understand the internal information of the imperial examination. How easy is it to pass the imperial examination?
But now it is different. As long as Golang is willing to read, Gu Xiang is still confident that he can offer people.
After using her original body, she must take on her responsibilities, support her parents, and love her younger brothers. If she wants to do it and is harmless to others, Gu Xiang has the ability to do it for her.
"In the county's private school, Shu Xiu only has one and a half taels of silver a year. I have received a monthly salary this month and have some other rewards. It's okay to pay Shu Xiu for at least two years to Goro."
Gu Xiangdao.
Gu Laoshi shook his head: "We don't have such rules. Your grandfather said back then that the younger generations save the money they earn by themselves, and he doesn't take it, and the same goes for your generation."
Gu Xiang suddenly laughed: "Even if this is the case, it will not be too rigid. It is all family members. What is the point of being too clear? Just let Goro remember it. When he finishes his studies, he will pay me back the principal and interest."
Without waiting for Gu Laoshi to refuse, Jiang responded first, touching the quilt that Gu Xiangxin took back. Thinking of the grain piled in the cellar and the half-small of mutton, the little concern that Jiang had been hiding in his heart did not dissipate, but at least he was relieved.
Sanniang was able to bring these things back, at least she was not angry in the military camp.
