The old housekeeper also echoed, "Yes, please tell us quickly and let us listen. You underestimate me and Mother Song too much. Why do you think that the things you can think of are completely inappropriate in our eyes?"
It's possible."
Now that Shopkeeper Tian has said that it is possible that what he said was considered to be fanciful by the old housekeeper and Song Ma, it is obvious that this matter is not something that ordinary people can think of. At this time, the old housekeeper became a little curious and couldn't help but ask.
Shopkeeper Tian is not the kind of person who sells his secrets. He soon expressed his thoughts: "Looking at Gong Jian's family, I have a bold guess about the reaction of Gong Jian's family to the fact that Gong Jian became a scholar." He looked up.
After looking at the two people who were listening to him attentively, he continued: "Gong Jian, a young man, may take part in the national education examination this fall."
Shopkeeper Tian's soft words were like a muffled thunder exploding in the ears of the old housekeeper and Song Ma. Both of them looked dumbfounded and extremely surprised.
The old butler was the first to come back to his senses. He walked up to Shopkeeper Tian in surprise and asked in a tone of extreme surprise: "Old Tian, are you kidding me? Why do you think Gong Jianna
Is this guy going to take the civil examination? Are you so confident in him?"
Although Song's mother at the side did not ask, her eyes were fixed on Shopkeeper Tian, and her attitude was very obvious. Song's mother also wanted to hear how Shopkeeper Tian would answer this question.
At this moment, Shopkeeper Tian was a little hesitant, but after a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke to the old housekeeper.
"The reason why I guessed like this is that I feel a little unsure. But you see, the way Gong Jian's family behaves does mean something like this."
Before Shopkeeper Tian could continue to explain, the old housekeeper over there interrupted and asked: "What do you mean? His family just said that they didn't plan to hold a big celebration. How come you changed it to this meaning? You
You should tell us quickly so that Mother Song and I don't have to worry so much."
Shopkeeper Tian is a little speechless. If you are anxious, I can understand, but if you don't interrupt me, I have already started to explain to you. Now just because you are so anxious and interrupt at will, it makes me talk more and more.
Slow. But it’s really not the case now. When he was entangled with the old housekeeper on this issue, Shopkeeper Tian directly stated his reasons.
"It's not just that Gong Jian's family didn't plan to celebrate grandly, which made me think of this. The more important thing is that when these guests came to congratulate them, the person who received them was not Gong Jian himself.
.”
Hearing what Shopkeeper Tian said, the old housekeeper also showed a thoughtful expression. He paced back and forth in the living room, and after turning around for more than ten times, he stopped in front of Shopkeeper Tian.
"Yes, you are right about this. It is indeed strange. Anyway, how could a person who has won the title of scholar not come out to entertain the people who come to congratulate him? This is a huge network, how can it be wasted like this? And one
If you're not careful, people will think that he just turned over and got a little carried away, and he can easily offend people."
But after saying this, the old housekeeper couldn't help but turn to look at Shopkeeper Tian, "But Old Tian, I think it's still unreliable. Just based on these two points, can you infer that Gong Jian's ambition is so big? He actually
Are you still planning to take the Juren Examination? You and he have been friends for several years. Tell me, how well did this child study in the past? How confident is he?"
This was something that the old housekeeper really couldn't understand. He had sent people to investigate Gong Jian before. However, those who came back from the investigation reported to him that they all said that Gong Jian, even though he was in private school for several years,
At that time, I was indeed praised very much by the teacher in the private school.
But he was just a teacher from a private school in a small mountain village. How many talents could such a person have seen? What's more, due to family reasons, Gong Jian's family could not afford to pay tuition soon, so Gong Jian had no choice but to start from
He dropped out of private school. This is why the old housekeeper did not believe that Gong Jian had the ability to take the civil service examination.
No matter how talented a student is, it is impossible for him to suddenly decide to return to study after leaving private school for several years and achieve such great achievements.
In the eyes of the old housekeeper, it was already a great thing that Gong Jian was able to become a scholar. Therefore, after Gong Jian became a scholar, the old housekeeper's attitude towards him changed so much, and even began to
He is thinking about his marriage to the lady.
But now, what Shopkeeper Tian said was something that the old housekeeper had never thought about. Could it be that these two people were possessed by evil spirits? How could they trust Gong Jian so much that they would be able to continue taking the Juren Examination if they believed in him? No.
That ability, but if you insist on taking the imperial examination, it is obvious that you will fail without success.
On the one hand, the old housekeeper felt that Gong Jian thought the imperial examination was too simple. It was simply unbelievable that he had just obtained the title of scholar and then used his portrait to obtain the title of civil servant. But on the other hand, he had a small feeling in his heart.
However, he is somewhat hopeful, hoping that Shopkeeper Tian can tell him that Gong Jian is actually of this level and may be selected as a candidate. If Gong Jian is selected as a candidate, then his status will be extraordinary.
But what disappointed the old butler was that after hearing his question, Shopkeeper Tian only lowered his head, shook his head gently, and then said: "I don't know about this either. Although Gong Jian
It is said that he has been dealing with me for several years, but in the beginning, most of this young man only had some business dealings with me, but gradually
Gradually, our temperaments became more congenial, and we became friends. However, it was impossible for the two of us to discuss things like reading and taking exams. How talented he was in reading, and how much he had learned in the original homework.
, in this aspect, I am just like you, I have no idea at all."
Then the housekeeper also felt very disappointed. He knew that Shopkeeper Tian was telling the truth and there was no concealment at all. In those few years, Gong Jian was busy improving the family situation and earning more money, so how could he get along with him?
Others talked about his previous studies. If it weren't for Miss Tian's chance encounter with Gong Jian, which suddenly attracted the boy's attention, even Gong Jian himself probably never thought that he would take the imperial examination.
