That person was Gong Yaozu's eldest brother, who was also raised in a pampered family. The eldest brother also went to private school for a long time, but he was always naughty and troublesome in the private school. Apart from being scolded by his husband, he never heard a word of praise from his husband. Later, the eldest brother
It was even more so because Gong Jian went to the same private school and was immediately compared to a scumbag. As a last resort, he left the private school and went to the town to find a job as a bookkeeper apprentice.
It's just that after the eldest brother came to the town, he stopped coming home within two years. After hanging around in the town for so long, I only met him occasionally. Every time I met the eldest brother, there was always a woman by his side.
.
The woman was very strong, tall and thick, with a face full of flesh. She also liked to put thick white powder on her face. Every time he saw it, Gong Yaozu had to hide. He was afraid that he would recognize the woman.
After that, he would chat with him whenever he saw him. He really couldn't bear to watch him like this, and he didn't know why his elder brother had such strong tastes.
But no matter what, he inquired from the side. The woman was a widow in the town and her family had some assets. It was unknown when she and her elder brother got together. In short, the woman was very fierce.
You can tell by her figure and appearance that the neighbors nearby dare not provoke her easily.
And it was also because this woman was in charge of the eldest brother that the eldest brother had lost contact with his family not long after he arrived in the town. Now, even if the two of them live in the same town and occasionally meet each other, the eldest brother has no intention of coming forward to recognize her.
So even though Gong Yaozu was very tight on money now, he really wanted to borrow some money so that he could have some fun. However, thinking of the appearance of that woman, he immediately gave up the idea of borrowing money from his elder brother.
There was really no other way. Gong Yaozu could only straighten his clothes and walk to the market to see if he could find someone to bully and take advantage of him. If he could get a few copper coins from that person's hand, there would be fewer mosquitoes.
It's also meat.
But before Gong Yaozu arrived at the market in the town, he was stopped by an acquaintance. This person was a villager in the village, and he and Gong Yaozu could only be considered acquaintances. Normally, Gong Yaozu would not have known this at all.
Maybe he knows him. In his mind, these villagers all look similar, with a rustic look.
Today, it was that person who took the initiative to stop Gong Yaozu, and he stopped. After the two started talking, Gong Yaozu finally understood the identity of this person.
Although on the surface, Gong Yaozu pretended to be easy-going and chatted with the adults, in fact, he was impatient in his heart. What the hell was this man doing? He insisted on stopping him from saying anything, and he was not familiar with him, so what was the point?
To chat.
But before Gong Yaozu showed some obvious helplessness on his face, he heard the man say: "Have you heard? That young man Gong Jian, oh, no, that scholar Gong Jian, now lives in the town.
Where?"
What?! When Gong Yaozu heard what the man called Gong Jian, he was immediately stunned and exclaimed in disbelief: "That Gong Jian, what did you call him just now?"
The man couldn't help feeling a little proud when he saw that a villager like him was more informed than Gong Yaozu who was studying in the town.
But due to the other party's status as a scholar, he quickly restrained his pride and deliberately asked in a surprised tone: "Don't you know yet? This year, Gong Jian passed the exam to become a scholar. Now everyone in the village is
We are talking about it. Otherwise, their ancestral graves are smoking. For so many years, dozens of surrounding villages have not produced a scholar. But this year, he appeared in our village.
If their family was still living in the village, the village chief would definitely set up a banquet with great fanfare and let the whole village celebrate with him. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Many people want to get to know this new scholar.
Master, please ask me to come and see where his family lives in town. Many people want to visit him."
Although the scholar's title does not count as an official at all, with the title of scholar, the family's land can be rent-free and tax-free. Not only the people in the village, but also people in dozens of surrounding villages heard about it, Gong Jian
After winning the title of Scholar, many people were interested in putting their land in his name. Therefore, many people were inquiring about the address of Gong Jian's family.
I heard that people in the village were also entrusted by others to come to the town to inquire. When he arrived in the town, he was still confused and didn't know how to look for it. When he saw the person walking towards him, he turned out to be the youngest son of the Gong family.
, it is said that the man has been studying in a private school in the town, so he should know the town well. Besides, their family and Gong Jian's family are very close relatives. If you ask him, you might be able to find out the specific location of Gong Jian's family.
But that person had no idea that Gong Yaozu was inquiring about the address of Gong Jian's home. Instead, it was his words that informed the other party that Gong Jian had been selected as a scholar. At this time, Gong Yaozu heard this
After receiving the exact news, his mind was buzzing, but he couldn't grasp any thoughts. Facing the questions from the villagers in front of him, Gong Yaozu could only shake his head. In the end, the man couldn't ask anything.
, could only wave and leave.
Gong Yaozu stood there in a daze, with only one thought in his head: How could Gong Jian become a scholar? How should he live now?
When I thought that the news had spread among the villagers that Gong Jian was selected as a scholar, the parents of the family probably knew about it, so they said that this year he made up a lie about not taking the exam.
It's all over, but now, Gong Jian has been selected as a scholar, and this news has spread in the village. My parents will definitely be stimulated again. I don't know what kind of commotion my father is going to make, and he is restrained from studying.
.
When he thought of this, Gong Yaozu had no intention of wandering around anymore. He could only lower his head and walk back slowly in a depressed mood. Now he should think of a countermeasure early, if his father takes him back next time
If he was studying at home, how would he get through those difficult days? Thinking of this, Gong Yaozu felt that Gong Jian was all to blame for this.
Uncle Gong Jian's family, whether they were staying in the town or in the village, were all depressed because of the fact that Gong Jian had become a scholar. At the same time, they were more active and wanted to find someone.
The new address of Gong Jian's family. At this time, Gong Jian's family living in the county did not know the situation here at all.
Regarding the fact that Gong Jian was selected as a scholar, everyone in the alley where they live now knows. The children of the family who moved here a few days ago are really promising. They were selected as scholars at a young age and came back. (To be continued.
