Seeing that everything had been said, Gong Jian bowed to his father and mother, and then bowed and slowly exited the room. In any case, Gong Jian stopped his father, and his mother's plan of making a big deal was achieved.
his goal.
As soon as he exited the door, he was blocked by brothers Gong Yu and Gong Yue who had been eavesdropping outside the door.
At night, it was dark in the Gong family's courtyard. Only the faint light coming from the window allowed Gong Jian to tell that it was his younger brother and sister who were waiting for him at the door. And the bright eyes of Gong Yu and his sister were like
The brightest star in the night sky.
Before Gong Jian could ask, Gong Yue had already spoken: "Brother, are you telling the truth? Will you be able to become a scholar this year? Are you going to be a scholar?"
Gong Yue's voice became louder and louder, and her last question was almost shouted out in cheers. Gong Yu hurriedly stretched out her hand to make a silent gesture. Alas, you must know that the eldest brother has not taken the scholar examination yet. If he
If the younger sister shouts out like this, someone will inevitably say something mean like, "The elder brother thinks too highly of himself."
Gong Yue also realized her gaffe. She covered her mouth with both hands, but she still stared at Gong Jian with shining eyes, waiting for his answer.
Only then did Gong Jian know the reason why his younger brother and sister were waiting at the door so excitedly. It seemed that they had overheard the conversation he had just had with his parents and knew his plan.
In the room just now, after hearing what I said, my parents were obviously stunned for a long time. Looking at my father's behavior, I knew that he was full of words at that time and wanted to talk to me. But in the end, my father held back.
Just let yourself read with peace of mind.
But the younger brothers and sisters don't have so many scruples. Seeing them staying here and asking themselves this question as soon as they come up, you know that they are eager to get their guarantee.
Gong Jian smiled, touched Gong Yue's hair, and nodded gently: "Yes. You heard it right. My eldest brother is going to take the scholar examination, and he is 80% sure that he can pass this examination."
Gong Jian's words are not without purpose. He has studied all the test papers of previous years and knows the approximate level of the scholar examination. With his own ability, he is sure to pass the scholar examination.
Of course, he would not be so full of words to guarantee his younger brothers and sisters, so he only used 80% certainty to comfort them. After all, looking at the behavior of his younger brothers and sisters, you can see how much they care about this matter.
Sure enough, after hearing Gong Jian's words, Gong Yu and Gong Yue's expressions were filled with excitement. They knew that if their eldest brother could utter such a guarantee, he would definitely have greater confidence in getting the scholar's prize.
Fame.
Neither of them thought of it. They thought about what would happen to the brother and sister after the eldest brother got the title of scholar and became a scholar. They were simply happy for the eldest brother's achievements.
In their hearts, the eldest brother is the one who can do anything. Even taking the imperial examination went much more smoothly than others. Seeing that the eldest brother passed the examination of Tongsheng in a short period of time, and now it is even said that he is sure to pass the examination of scholar, they almost cheered.
stand up.
Fortunately, the two of them are still sensible. This has not happened yet. No matter how confident they are, it is not good to cheer for this matter now.
The two of them coincidentally held Gong Jian's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and pulled him toward the study. When the three of them walked to the door of the study together, Gong Yu opened the door of the study, and the two of them grabbed Gong Jian's arms.
Jian pushed him into the study room and quickly closed the door.
Gong Yue said with a smile outside the door: "Brother, you should keep working hard, we are waiting for your good news." After saying that, the two of them ran back to their room laughing.
Gong Jian, who was pushed into the study room, shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously. It was rare for his siblings to show such childish nature. Seeing them laughing and joking with him like this, Gong Jian felt satisfied in his heart.
.
He walked slowly to the desk, sat down, and flipped through the basic books on the table unconsciously. His thoughts could not help but drift out of the window. He passed the child examination and took the first step on the road to the imperial examination. I don't know,
Does Ms. Tian know this news?
Thinking of the face that made his heart skip a beat, Gong Jian couldn't help but feel a flush in his face. He quickly collected his thoughts and once again focused on the book in his hand.
He still needs to continue to work hard. There is still a long way to go before his goal. One day he will confidently walk to Tianji and marry his sweetheart.
Miss Tian seemed to feel Gong Jian's thoughts at this time in Tian Ji's old house on the other side of the same county.
It turned out that Miss Honda had already rested, but when Gong Jian missed her, Miss Tian, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes again.
Those empty eyes that had never changed, some emotions were dancing in them at this time, but soon, Miss Tian closed her eyes again, hiding those beautiful eyes. This change of hers did not cause any
people's attention.
There was a little maid keeping vigil outside Miss Tian's window. Miss Tian's changes just now did not alarm her. The maid still felt nothing and stayed by the bed. Missing her own lady, she was completely different from the past.
Performance.
Although this little maid has been with Miss Tian for several years, she has always been very loyal and meticulous. But it is inevitable that on such a quiet night, staying by the Miss Tian's bed, she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
So I didn't notice the lady's movements on the bed.
If it was Song's mother who was keeping vigil right now, she would definitely be able to notice the changes in her young lady. But now Song's mother was not in the young lady's boudoir, so she missed this rare opportunity.
If Song's mother was not at Miss Tian's bedside, where did she go? It turned out that at this time, Song's mother, the old housekeeper and Tian, the three of them, were sitting in the living room of the outer courtyard to discuss matters.
Since the New Year, Mr. Tian has hurried back to the capital. The old housekeeper and shopkeeper Tian have been very busy. At the beginning of the new year, shops across the country have begun new year's business activities, and some problems have arisen at home due to the move.
Therefore, during this period of time, shopkeeper Tian and the old housekeeper have been unable to do anything at all. One person can't wait to divide into several people to keep busy everywhere.
Fortunately, in the past two days, the two of them were finally busy enough, and they had the opportunity to sit down and take a breath. And just tonight, Song's mother once again invited them to sit in the living room, saying that they had something to discuss. (Not finished yet.
