Still on the matter of the young lady's marriage, it is obvious that Shopkeeper Tian and Mother Song are now obviously partial to that boy Gong Jian. So this also requires the old housekeeper to remind himself over and over again that he must
Very good.
The current situation requires the old housekeeper to amplify all doubts and make a secret decision to firmly grasp this degree.
Originally, after Gong Jian was selected as a scholar, the old housekeeper's attitude was somewhat relaxed. In his opinion, Gong Jian had completely proved his ability and strength. It is indeed rare and valuable to be selected as a scholar at such a young age. Therefore,
The housekeeper then thought that it would be a good thing to help this young couple, since Gong Jian had the determination to ask to marry Miss Tian, and at the same time he had proved his ability, so he could let go and help them both.
.
But when Shopkeeper Tian said that Gong Jian planned to continue taking the scientific examination and obtain the title of Juren, at that moment, the old housekeeper's mentality changed again. Besides being shocked, he was more worried. In his opinion, it was not
I feel that because Gong Jian attaches great importance to Miss Tian, he feels that he should gain a higher reputation before marrying Miss Tian. In the eyes of the old housekeeper, this is proof of Gong Jian's ambition.
It's okay to be a scholar. It just has some privileges, such as tax exemption and free from corvee. However, if you win the imperial examination, you can use the money to donate to the official position. Who knows that Gong Jian is holding his breath and must win the imperial examination, right?
He just wanted to take this path and use Tian Ji's wealth to pave his way to an official career.
The old housekeeper was still struggling in his mind, whether he needed to write a letter to Mr. Tian and tell his boss clearly about his worries. If this was because of the carelessness of the three of them, and instead cheated his young lady, then what would happen to him?
The sin is huge.
The old butler quickly returned to his room, picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a long letter to his old employer, in which he wrote down the recent events, his worries and speculations.
After the boy sent the letter, the old housekeeper felt that his heartbeat slowly returned to normal. No matter how he was a villain, he was always suspicious.
Speak out your worries. Now Gong Jian, this guy, but
If he is a scholar, it would be easy for Tian Ji to kill him. Even if he is promoted and becomes an official, it will be very easy. But if he is successful and deceives his own lady with smooth words, then what will happen to him?
From time to time, he would use Tian Ji's wealth to help him get promoted and make a fortune.
Even if he betrays his young lady later, Tian Ji will not be able to take action against the imperial officials at that time. If the big tail cannot be eliminated, it will be a big hidden danger.
Fortunately, now, he has also written down all his worries. Therefore, it is still far from the bad situation that the old housekeeper imagined. After all, Gong Jian was just a scholar. This year, even if he
If you really want to take the Juren Examination, can you
There are still two arguments for not being able to pass the exam. But looking at the appearance of Shopkeeper Tian and Song Ma, the old housekeeper was a little worried that these two people were relaxed. They simply believed in Gong Jian and would not do anything to apologize.
My own lady’s affairs.
Under this situation, he felt that there would be no good results if he continued to discuss it with the two of them, so he might as well tell his employer all his worries. At that time, would Gong Jianqiu be allowed to marry him in the end?
My young lady is not decided by just a word from my old employer.
Although by doing this, it was possible that his worries were unnecessary. But since he really couldn't let go of this matter, the old housekeeper finally made the decision to write a letter to Mr. Tian. The worst thing is that he thought wrong, Gong
Young Jian has no such idea at all. He just wants to marry Miss Tian in a more honorable manner.
, then he worked hard to win the title of Juren. If this is the case, it means that the old housekeeper is judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. He can admit his mistake, or he can take more care of Gong Jian in the future.
But now, everything is unknown, and the old housekeeper would rather make mistakes than express his worries.
After writing the letter, the old housekeeper was obviously relieved. He was now waiting for the boy's reply to see if Gong Jian's family had asked Gong Jian to prepare for the fall, as Shopkeeper Tian had guessed, and then make persistent efforts to win the title of Juren.
He had already notified his old club of the vaccination in advance. Then all that was left was to use facts to prove whether Gong Jian had ulterior motives or was a sincere person.
As for whether Gong Jian can obtain the title of Juren this time, the old housekeeper does not think he is too concerned. After all, even if Gong Jian fails the exam this time, he is already qualified to take the exam. As long as he has this intention, he will not
Stop and continue taking the exam until
Until he passes the exam, this is just a process to expose his ambition. At this point, the old housekeeper adopts a wait-and-see attitude. What he is waiting for now is the result, as to whether Gong Jian can pass the exam.
, but he was not too concerned.
A few days later, when the three people gathered in the living room again, the waiter had immediately informed the three of them of the information he had. Judging from the situation, it could be proved that Gong Jian was indeed like Shopkeeper Tian.
As I said, I am now concentrating on studying behind closed doors and preparing to take the Juren Examination in the fall.
Of course, Shopkeeper Tian and Mother Song were very happy about such a result. The old housekeeper was not as worried as last time. Instead, he sat next to him and drank tea leisurely, as if he was not too worried about this matter.
focus on.
Although the performance of the three people is different, for now, they have reached an agreement. Now they should not disturb Gong Jian. Instead, they should let him concentrate on preparing for the exam and wait for the autumn to see whether he can win the championship in one fell swoop.
It is necessary to lift people's merits. As for the future matters, they can just discuss it and proceed.
Just like what Tian Ji said, Gong Jian has been studying hard at home recently. The previous exams for children and scholars were easy for Gong Jian. But now he still feels a little stressed, after all, the exams for civil servants
, the difficulty increased a lot. While referring to previous years' test questions, Gong Jian even borrowed a lot of books. This was also a benefit after he became a scholar. Some famous and promising families in the county came to Gong Jian's home.
Come celebrate.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gong Jian inquired about which family had a larger collection of books, so he prepared a visit and said that he wanted to visit the other party's library and borrow books. (To be continued)
