However, Gong Yu did not show any such emotion. Instead, he became extremely happy all of a sudden, as if he had passed the exam and became a civil servant, and was envied and respected by the people around him.
Gong Jian felt at this time that he didn't seem to understand his second brother very well, so he pulled Gong Yu and sat at the desk next to him, intending to have a chat with him.
Gong Yu was still unhappy about what happened just now, so when Gong Jian pulled him to sit at the desk, he sat down obediently, but did not speak or say anything else.
The two brothers sat opposite each other, but neither of them spoke. After a while, Gong Jian spoke first.
"Second brother, how are you doing in private school recently?" He has been busy these days, running between home and school every day, and he really neglects his family.
It has been several months since Gong Yu went to a private school. Except at the beginning when he asked whether Gong Yu could adapt to life in a private school, Gong Jian never talked to him about the private school again. At this time, he said this
As a breakthrough in conversation, I asked it directly.
Upon hearing his elder brother's question, Gong Yu immediately straightened his back and sat upright, answering his elder brother's question seriously.
"I'm not top-notch in my private school, but my husband is quite satisfied with me. I complete my homework every day seriously. Every time my husband asks questions in class, I can answer most of them."
After talking about these good aspects, Gong Yu's aura weakened a little, his back was slightly curved, and then he said slowly: "But I feel that when the teacher gave the lecture, he was not as thorough as the elder brother, and there were some problems.
I still can’t answer.”
But then, Gong Yu quickly promised: "But now I complete the homework very seriously. Sometimes I can't read the book, so I read it a few times. Brother, I promise, I will study very diligently.
.”
Hearing Gong Yu's series of words, Gong Jian had a headache. What he actually wanted to ask was, how was Gong Yu's study life in the private school? It was not to examine Gong Yu's homework.
But from his words, Gong Jian could also tell that Gong Yu was indeed hardworking and serious, but he could not fully understand what the teacher said. Seeing the young man in front of him eager to make a guarantee, Gong Jian
He also understood that his younger brother was probably afraid that he would worry about him, so he did not study hard and delayed his studies.
Thinking back to just now, how happy he looked when he heard that he wanted to take the examination, Gong Jian couldn't help but asked Gong Yu again.
"Second brother, I roughly know how you studied in private school. Now I want to ask you, do you plan to follow my path and take the scientific examination in the future?"
When Gong Yu heard this question, he was stunned. He really hadn't thought about what he would do in the future. He used to work at home, raise rabbits or go to private schools, all of which were because of his family.
situation, or the arrangements made by his family for him.
Even though Gong Yu is only a teenager now, he has actually always put his family first.
For himself, Gong Yu didn't think about anything. The biggest decision he made before was to go to the landlord's house to work part-time. That was also forced by the situation at home.
After that, the situation at home got better and better. Gong Yu just wanted to do his part for the family and work hard to do what he could do.
If his elder brother hadn't insisted on enrolling in a private school, Gong Yu himself would never have thought of it.
Now I hear my eldest brother ask himself, what are his future plans? He really hasn't thought about this question. But he knows that he will definitely not follow the imperial examination path of his eldest brother.
In this aspect, Gong Yu is still self-aware. Seeing the disappointed look in his eyes when he couldn't answer his questions, Gong Yu knew that he was not the seed of reading.
He shook his head first, then raised his head in confusion and looked at his elder brother: "Brother, I don't know. I haven't thought about the future, but I know that it is impossible for me to take the scientific examination."
Gong Jian raised his eyebrows, "You said it's impossible? It's impossible because you don't want to, or because you can't?"
In Gong Jian's view, even if Gong Yu has no talent, if he is keen to take part in scientific examinations and gain fame, although given his ability, it is estimated that this path will be difficult. However, if this is his wish, Gong
Jian felt that he was fully capable and supported him to keep going. So he must ask clearly what his second brother really thought.
Without thinking much, Gong Yu said directly: "I can't, and I don't want to. I feel that participating in the imperial examination is not suitable for me."
Gong Yu's categorical answer let Gong Jian know that his younger brother had no intention of participating in the imperial examination. This made him feel relieved. Just now, Gong Jian saw his second brother looking so happy, which made him suspicious.
, does the second brother also want to take part in the imperial examination? You must know that this road is indeed very difficult.
The scientific examination is like walking on a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. However, for Gong Jian, he did not stop his second brother from taking this path because he thought it would be extremely difficult to obtain a meritorious title. The main reason was because his character was really not good enough.
Suitable for officialdom. And the ultimate goal of participating in the imperial examination, which one is not to become an official?
At this time, Gong Yu realized that the question asked by his eldest brother was a bit strange. Could it be that the eldest brother wanted to take the exam with him because he thought it was easy? This was not possible. Gong Yu felt very sad when he thought of this.
Worried, he said quickly.
"Brother, I'm not like you. I really don't have any talent in reading. I can complete the homework that my husband left very easily, such as writing big characters or copying books. But once my husband wants to endorse or write
When these articles come out, I get a headache."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Gong Jian still wouldn't believe it, Gong Yu couldn't help but continue to explain himself: "Really, brother, two days ago, Mr. left an article, and I just pulled my hair and stayed up all night without doing anything.
come out.
In the end, I was severely punished by my husband for copying books. But, you don’t know, when I heard that my husband punished me for copying books, I was so happy that I wanted to jump up. I would rather copy ten or eight books.
I don’t even want to write those articles for books.”
As soon as he said this, Gong Yu felt a little embarrassed. There were many children younger than him in the private school who also studied with him, but none of them were like him, who found it difficult to write an article. (
