Gu Qingling raised her head, looked at Mr. Yao, and said, "Who told you that you can't read? Have you read it? Have you tried hard?"
"Didn't I ask Mr. Shu to teach me before when dad was here..." Mr. Yao muttered softly.
"Your father hired a teacher for you before, but tell me, have you studied seriously?"
Second Master Yao: "..."
He really didn't dare to say this.
At that time, he really didn't think about studying seriously. After all, his mother told him at the time:
"Brother Yan, don't be like your brother. He just reads books all day long. He's like a nerd and has no future at all."
"Boys, they should act like boys and go out more often."
"You don't like reading? Okay, if you don't like it, just don't like it. Anyway, if the sky falls, your brother will support you, and it won't have anything to do with you."
…
As the second eldest son, Mr. Yao knew at a very young age that in the future he would inherit the Yao family and it was his brother who had to work hard to make the Yao family prosperous. He had nothing to do with him. Because they could not fight and were not allowed to fight, Mr. Yao was gone.
With the goal of "progressing", I lived very indulgently throughout my youth.
Although he is not a prostitute, he has done some things like dissoluteness, idleness, and sensuality.
"Ahem! Mom," Mr. Yao coughed twice and said somewhat uncomfortably, "I am already a father, you can't let me start studying now, can you? Besides, what is the number one scholar?
Everyone has passed the exam? We have been in the capital for so many years, but we only have one top pick every three years..."
In fact, to put it bluntly, Mr. Yao is very satisfied with his current situation and does not want to change it.
"Haha! Didn't you just say that you keep your word, and as long as you promise, you will definitely be able to do it? I have no other requirements, I just want a top pick in my family."
"That won't happen to me." Mr. Yao said quickly, "Mom, if you really want to be the top scholar, you can let...let my son take the exam."
Mr. Yao quickly pushed his son Yao Anhong out, saying that since his son Yao Anhong was born, Mrs. Yao has quickly arranged a teacher for his son, and it has been several years now.
Although he didn't know if Yao Anhong was good at studying, but he had been studying for so many years and was still young. Wouldn't it be much better than him, who had not touched a book for so many years and was much older?
Hearing Master Yao mention his son Yao Anhong, Gu Qingling suddenly remembered that in the memory of the original owner, this only grandson seemed to be a scholar.
Although the original owner usually didn't pay much attention to it, Mrs. Yao's second wife would mention it to the original owner from time to time, saying that her husband praised Yao Anhong again and what did Yao Anhong do again.
The original owner was very happy when he heard about it, but his only grandson was not in good health. He got sick every three days, especially during the change of seasons. He had a headache and a fever when the wind blew, so he had to take medicine.
The eldest brother failed to live up to expectations and gave birth to only one granddaughter. The second brother gave birth to two, one boy and one girl. The only boy was still a "sick boy". Even if he could study again, the original owner had little hope.
In the opinion of the original owner, Yao Anhong, the grandson, probably wouldn't survive for a few days.
Because of this, the original owner no longer paid attention to Yao Anhong, for fear that if she paid too much attention, the relationship between her grandson and her grandma would become deeper, and she would be unable to bear the consequences of Yao Anhong's shortcomings.
Gu Qingling: "..."
If the grandson was sick and didn't he see a doctor quickly, the original owner would conclude that his only grandson would die?
Well, having mastered so many memories of the original owner, it was not the first time that Gu Qingling found the original owner to be weird.
It was also because there was only such a grandson that the original owner "hated" Mrs. Yao very much. She felt that Mrs. Yao was just a hen that couldn't lay eggs - what was the use of having a granddaughter?
son.
Mrs. Yao Er, although the son she gave birth to is a "sick young man", at least she can give birth to a son, right?
What made the original owner even more angry was that Mrs. Yao held Uncle Yao so tightly that she didn't even allow him to take a concubine. It was really abominable to be so jealous of a woman.
Gu Qingling: "..."
Is the original owner sure that it’s not Uncle Yao who doesn’t want to accept it?
Having a partial mother and a troublesome younger brother, such a large family is enough to annoy him, but if he brings back a bunch of concubines, will he not even have the last piece of "peace"?
If Mr. Yao hadn't mentioned it, Gu Qingling would have really forgotten to pay attention to this only grandson.
Because Yao Anhong was in poor health, the original owner even canceled his morning greetings. As for Mrs. Yao, she would never let Yao Anhong come out unless there was nothing wrong. She wished she could keep him in the house 24 hours a day.
Gu Qingling was not sure what Yao Anhong's physical condition was, but even a healthy person would develop problems if he was kept "detained" in the house for a long time, right?
Gu Qingling regretted a little. She only focused on the sons and daughters of the original owner, and forgot to take a good look at the grandchildren.
No, she has to find a way to meet him tomorrow.
With an idea in his mind, Gu Qingling looked at Mr. Yao and said: "He is him, and you are you. As a father, you don't live up to expectations and don't set an example for your own son. Why do you think your son will be better than him?"
Are you promising? Haven't you heard that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"
Trying to divert his mother's attention failed, Mr. Yao looked a little embarrassed and said: "Mom, you can't force me to study. I can do whatever you ask me to do, just don't mention this study. I really don't want to study."
no."
Gu Qingling didn't want to become fat in one bite, so she didn't force him again: "Have you memorized the family rules?"
"I'll carry it when I get back, I promise."
"Back now."
"Isn't it, mother?! I have a month to go, I swear, I promise to finish it for you..."
"Then what? I let you go, and you run out and cause trouble?" Gu Qingling stared at him, the smile on his face faded, and said, "If Mo Gui hadn't been clever and someone told you, you would have rushed out and hit people right now.
.Do you really think that you are so capable that everyone has to give in to you? For the one thousand taels of gold you owe, I almost lost the entire Yao family, what else do you want?"
"I...I just want to teach those boys a lesson." Second Master Yao was a little unconvinced and said, "Mom, you also know that I have been tricked. If I don't teach them a lesson, I will not be reconciled."
Speaking of the latter part, I did not forget to scold Mo Gui for being nothing. A loyal servant did not serve his second master, but he actually dared to sue him, that is, he was a "treason to the master".
Gu Qingling rolled her eyes at him: "When I gave Mo Gui to you, I made it clear to you. Mo Gui Mo Gui is just for you to 'stick to the rules'. From now on, behave yourself and don't always cause trouble for the family. You're welcome,
It took a thousand taels of gold to teach you a lesson. Before your injuries healed completely, you wanted to go out and cause trouble. You feel that you didn’t pay for the entire Yao family, and you feel unwilling to do so, right?"
