The old housekeeper was struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he looked down on that poor boy Gong Jian, and felt that the reason why he bothered to marry the young lady must be because of the young lady's huge family property. On the other hand, he had to admit that he
Those two old guys never misjudge anyone. They actually support Gong Jian, which shows that the kid does have merit.
Watching the two people talking, the topic actually went further and further. It no longer stopped at the palace fitness. The old housekeeper was so anxious that he had to interrupt the two people to continue the topic: "What are you doing?"
Let’s talk about it. In the next scholar examination, will Gong Jian take part? If he does, how sure is he?”
The old housekeeper's sudden question made Song Ma and Shopkeeper Tian stunned. They had already moved the topic to other places, but they didn't expect that the old housekeeper was still obsessed with Gong Jian's question.
.
Shopkeeper Tian was quick to respond and knew that he, an old man, had an awkward personality. So he comforted him softly: "It's useless for us to rush about this matter. As long as we wait until the scholar exam is over and the results are announced, we will naturally know."
When the old butler heard Shopkeeper Tian's unhurried answer, his anger rose uncontrollably. Without thinking much, he shouted: "Why is it none of our business?"
But as soon as he said this, he immediately realized what he had said when he heard Song Ma talk about this matter: It was just a small thing. Now, wasn't this a slap in the face to himself? He quickly shut up.
, and then glared at the old shopkeeper Tian reluctantly, and he said, Lao Tian is cunning.
With such a curse in his heart, the old housekeeper felt a little worried, but he was really embarrassed to continue the topic of Gong Jian. He could only perfunctoryly chat with the shopkeeper Tian and Song Ma next to him, but in the end he didn't ask any questions.
He wanted to ask about something, but in the end he could only do this and left the living room reluctantly.
As for Song Ma and Shopkeeper Tian, although they also saw the awkwardness in the old housekeeper's heart, no matter how much they said about this matter, it would not make much sense. After all, Gong Jiancan did not participate in this scholar examination. After taking part,
I am somewhat certain that I will be admitted as a scholar.
These are not something they can decide with a few words. They can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Gong Jian can successfully pass the scholar examination.
Of course, in their minds, if Gong Jian can pass the scholar examination and obtain the title of scholar, this is already a very remarkable thing. For a young man who has left private school for several years, he can pick up books and take the exam so quickly.
, this is really commendable.
In their minds, if Gong Jian takes the exam to become a scholar, then they will contact his old club and strongly recommend this young junior. After all, in their view, after Gong Jian takes the exam to become a scholar, he will have the capital to meet him.
old club.
By then, if they could just say a few nice words, there was probably hope that something good would happen between the two of them. What they didn't expect was that Gong Jian no longer took the little scholar to his heart, and his goal was to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination and become an official.
Only then did he feel that he had the capital to marry Miss Tian.
Not to mention the two families in the county, they have been worried and thinking about the upcoming scholar examination. At Uncle Gong Jian's house, their family is also anxious about another matter.
Watching the days go by, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The hot weather at this time is like a portrayal of Gong Yaozu's irritable mind. He stays at home day by day, becoming more and more unbearable. The dullness at home
Days without waves.
He now misses the days when he and his friends in the town ate big chunks of meat and drank wine every day. That was a wonderful life. That was the life that Gong Yaozu wanted to live.
Thinking about the passionate, tense and exciting scene in the gambling house, he felt as if he was in it again. Every time he thought about it, his hands were itching, and in fact, his heart was itching unbearably.
.
Gong Yaozu really wanted to go back to the town and leave this life of doing nothing every day, as dull as boiled water. If the weather hadn't been changing day by day, he would have almost thought that his days at home would be like being in a prison without an end.
.
In fact, Gong Yaozu's life at home was pretty good. After all, he didn't have to worry about three meals a day. He just had to pretend and sit in front of his desk every day.
Although his father often sneaks into his room to check, who is Gong Yaozu? He just needs to sit at the desk with his back to the door of the room, and use a few books to lean his upper body against it to ensure that he falls asleep
He will not lie down on the table, so that he can fall asleep safely and boldly.
After all, his father didn't dare to actually enter the room and disturb his reading. He could only take a sneak peek at the door. Every time he saw his son sitting at the desk obediently, reading hard with a book in his arms, Uncle Gong Jian felt extremely relieved.
.But in fact, the son who he thought was studying hard was always sleeping soundly with his book in his arms.
Gong Yaozu was worried about this ordinary life. He counted the days on his fingers day by day, and endured more than two months of hard work. Seeing that these three months were about to expire, he could go out and wander freely again.
Already.
While he was having such a troubled life, he naturally didn't notice that his parents were getting worse and worse recently, and they were getting more and more anxious. Sometimes they would discuss things behind his back at home, and sometimes they wouldn't.
They stopped and went out, but soon came back. They had to go back and forth more than a dozen times a day, and they didn't know what they were doing.
What Gong Yaozu didn't expect was that his parents were even more anxiously planning the things left behind in Gong Jian's house. In the past few months, the two of them had already made up their minds to take care of all the remaining things in that house.
Everything he dug was taken to his own home. Even if he dug three feet into the ground, the soil in his yard would also belong to his own family. So from that day on, Uncle Gong Jian began to frequently appear in front of the old village chief.
In Uncle Gong Jian's impression, of course, it had already been planned, that is, since Gong Jian's family had not come back for several months, it was obvious that something had happened to them outside and they could not come back. He was very happy in his heart
After all, Uncle Gong Jian felt very relieved when he thought of this result that his brother, who was often praised by his parents, died outside without any explanation, unable to return to his hometown. (To be continued)
