"Jin Niang, why are you so angry today? In fact, I know what the second child means, and he won't really let the third child go, not to mention the third child is not yet old." Father Gu lay on the kang.
, thinking that Lu was so angry just now, this has never happened before.
Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment when she heard Father Gu call her Jin Niang, because Father Gu usually didn't call her this name. After so many years, this title was very unfamiliar to her, and it also brought back memories of her past.
Unforgettable memories.
"Hmph! Does he not want the third child to go? He wishes that the third child would take his place. He won't use money until he is old enough? What? After all, he is your biological son, and I beat him, but you can't bear to let him go? Gu Changqing,
The second child is your son, but the third child is not your son? Are you leaning forward like this?" After a while, Mrs. Lu came back to her senses and sneered, disdainfully.
"What are you talking about? I never thought about letting the third child go. The third child is still young, how can he build the river embankment? Don't think too much. Oh! I'll go to the elder brother's place tomorrow to see if I can borrow it.
It's not easy to get to Yinzi. The elder brother's house is not easy. His brother Hua is studying in the town and spends a lot of money every year. I heard that he is doing well in school. Their teacher is planning to put him down next year! If he has to do corvee service, his family will also
I have to pay for it, but I don’t know if I can borrow it. Oh, how much money do we still have?” Father Gu was still a little embarrassed when he mentioned the previous one. Then he became worried when he thought about the money. In the past few days, at home,
All your savings will be wiped out.
"There are still fifteen taels and several hundred coins."
"Then I'll borrow another three taels from my eldest brother and leave a few hundred coins at home. When the farm work is over, I'll ask the boss and the others to go to town and work as part-time workers." When Dad Gu heard that there were still fifteen taels left, he was relieved.
.
"I want to ask Xiaobao to go to school." Lu's mood had calmed down in the darkness, but he said something that shocked Father Gu.
"What? Studying?" Dad Gu felt unbelievable and sat up from the kang. How could his mother have thought of letting Xiaobao study?
"Do you think Xiaobao is similar to the children in our village? Xiaobao is good-looking and smart. If he goes to school, he will definitely become famous. Have you forgotten what the master said? Xiaobao will definitely be successful in the future."
Lu's eyes burst out with strange light in the darkness.
"You also know that Xiaobao is thin and doesn't look like a farm boy at all. If he is allowed to dig for food in the fields in the future, will his body be able to withstand it?"
"But the family has no money. After paying the corvee tax this time, the family has no money. Studying costs a lot, and it doesn't just come from buying a few books. You should know best if you have stayed in a wealthy family. What's more, nowadays, at home,
It all depends on the eldest and second eldest son. If they are willing to support him in his studies, the second eldest son's family will also be in trouble." Father Gu calmed down and began to analyze the possibility of this matter. In fact, he didn't even have to think about it.
Know it's impossible.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard that his mother wanted him to study through the curtain. When he came here, he forgot that he had never seen the writing of this dynasty, and he didn't know if it was traditional Chinese characters.
No, then isn't he illiterate? If you want to do business, you must at least know how to read and write, right? I didn't expect his mother to be very enlightened.
"Then we have to find a way. Don't you want our family to have a scholar? Why are everyone afraid of him? Is it because they are afraid of him? Or is it because they are afraid of the power in his hands? Although his family, Lin Wen, has never passed the government examination,
But after all, he is a scholar, and he can still find a bookkeeper in the town. The monthly salary is not more than that of digging food in the fields? Old man, Xiaobao was born with a background, have you forgotten? Xiaobao will never do anything in the future.
He won't be a fool." Ms. Lu spared no effort in persuading her, which made Mr. Gu also moved.
"I'll think about it again, boss and the others." Father Gu feels very embarrassed. They won't agree. Studying is a bottomless pit. By the time Xiaobao comes forward, boss and his children will be married to those who should have been married.
, who wants to raise a younger brother who is younger than his own son to go to school?
"Xiaobao has read it out, and their benefits are indispensable. If you are lucky enough to be admitted as a scholar, your family's land will be exempted from taxes, and even the household tax will be exempted. It would also be good to use some money to become a county magistrate or chief registrar.
In short, there are many benefits. Boss, what do they have to disagree with? If you can pass the imperial examination, you can become an official and enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. Don't boss and the others get the glory? They can go anywhere.
Let me call you "Master." Old man, can you really bear the thought of my little treasure being buried?" Ms. Lu tried her best to paint a cake for Mr. Gu, as if Gu Chengyu's rise to success was right in front of her eyes, which made Mr. Gu's already hesitant heart even more shaken.
.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised by his mother's great ambitions, and how good she was at fooling people with her. Thinking about it, it was true, the ancients said: everything is inferior, only reading is high. In such a dynasty, what can the family do?
It is a great thing to be a scholar. Just like the grandfather, because he is the eldest son, before the famine, the Gu family had some small savings and studied for several years. Although he is idle at home now, he worked as the second shopkeeper of a restaurant in Fucheng when he was young.
.
Looking at Lin Lizheng again, wasn't it because he studied for a few more years that he became Lizheng? Wasn't his family forced to give in due to the power and majesty in Lizheng's hands? Besides, in his previous life, he was
I am very interested in ancient literature and have learned some knowledge in this area. Thinking about it this way, reading is indeed a good way out.
Gu Chengyu returned to the space and planned to clear out all the historical books about the imperial examination in the shopping mall. No matter whether the imperial examination system of this dynasty is different from that of the previous life, there is still something to learn from, right? There are also poems and songs that need to be studied a lot. The ancients
But I have to compose a poem every now and then.
He sorted out a small part first, then rested and prepared to practice his internal strength. He drank a sip of spiritual spring and slept cross-legged on the futon in the practice room. Gu Chengyu started practicing according to the contents of the secret book. Now he has to seize the time every day.
It takes at least an hour and a half to practice.
One and a half hours is very fast for Gu Chengyu. The internal strength in his body has improved significantly. Now if he goes to Changling Mountain, the pebbles ejected by his internal strength can probably kill a pheasant. Yes, he is such a weak chicken. Sigh.
! It seems that cultivating internal strength is not easy, but he only came in to practice for a while when he had time in the past few days. It is not bad to make such progress.
I picked up an illustrated book of medicinal materials, which contains hundreds of medicinal materials and is also equipped with illustrations. This is convenient. Just reading the text description cannot correctly understand the types of medicinal materials. After all, some medicinal materials look very similar. Compare the text with
Compare the illustrations and study them carefully
