Thinking of those few talents, when mentioning the Zhao family, the expression of envy and jealousy, Gong also understands their feelings. After all, in the town where they lived, the Tian family was also such a behemoth, incompatible with other people.

But the Tian family's style of action is completely opposite to the Zhao family. It can be said that the Tian family is permeated in all aspects of ordinary people's lives, where you can see the Tian family's marked stores, and life is inseparable from the shadow of Tian Ji. If the Zhao family is an object to be feared in that county, then the Tian family is a force that is popular with the masses and is closely related.

Speaking of the amazing heads of the Zhao family, Gong Jian's words changed: "By the way, the last time the Zhao family appeared, the head of the family who is expected to lead the Zhao family to further develop and grow should be Zhao Rong mentioned, that is, his eldest uncle." ”

Gong Yu also remembered now, Zhao Rongrong once mentioned that his uncle died when he was an official in a foreign country. It's just that when Zhao Rong mentioned this person, he only said a few words and then stopped mentioning it. And now that the eldest brother mentioned this person, and his tone was a little admiring, Gong Yu's interest came up again. He couldn't help but ask: "Big brother, have you heard others mention Zhao Rong's uncle?"

Hearing the second brother's question, Gong Jian nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I think those talents are the uncle who admires Zhao Rong very much." It is said that this Lord Zhao is known as a genius, and he has achieved fame at a young age, and he is very famous in the local area. ”

Gong Yu was a little unimpressed. In his heart, no kind of character can compare to his eldest brother. Just look at the people who came to the provincial capital to participate in the examination this time, Gong Yu has specifically observed the students who live in the champion building. He had never seen any of the students who were younger than the eldest brother. In his heart, his eldest brother is the most powerful person.

Thinking like this, Gong Yu also said what was in his heart: "I haven't seen anyone more powerful than my eldest brother." Zhao Rong's uncle, the eldest brother said that he won the examination at a young age, but isn't the eldest brother the same? At least the students who came to take the examination this time, I didn't see any younger ones than the eldest brother. If the eldest brother is lifted this time, it is estimated that he is the youngest person to lift. ”

As soon as Gong Yu's words fell, Gong Jian laughed while waving his hand, "Second brother, you also look up to your eldest brother too much." Not to mention Zhao Rong's uncle, it was a few decades ago, but there was a young genius who was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of sixteen. Your eldest brother and I are both eighteen years old this year. Maybe it's because the students who took this exam are all older, otherwise there are people who are younger and more talented than your eldest brother. ”

After listening to Gong Jian's words, Gong Yu was full of unconvinced. He snorted, and then said: "Yes, there may have been juren who are younger than the eldest brother, or jinshi, but when did you start picking up the books again and planning to participate in the imperial examination, eldest brother?" That's what happened at the beginning of this year, and if you can take the test in just one year, I don't believe anyone will be able to do it. ”

Gong Jian listened to this, but he still said modestly: "It can't be counted like this, second brother." After all, your eldest brother also went to private school before, although I stopped going to private school because of family reasons, but in private, I didn't stop studying. After all, when your eldest brother was at that time, he earned a few pennies by copying books for the bookstore. Although I said that I hadn't studied those books, I copied them more firmly than anyone going to a private school. Therefore, after the foundation was laid, I was able to decide to take this imperial examination road by myself in one year. ”

Although he knew that what the eldest brother said was the truth, Gong Yu was still unconvinced. He felt that the eldest brother was too modest, after all, he had never met him, and there was no record in history of any big man who could participate in the imperial examination purely by self-study after only studying in a private school for more than a year, and finally be able to take the meritorious examination.

But looking at the eldest brother's appearance of not caring at all, Gong Yu also knew that the eldest brother was not proud of his achievements. Maybe in the eyes of the eldest brother, the things he does are taken for granted or insignificant, but everything the eldest brother does is only looked up to by others. And Gong Yu admires his eldest brother very much.

In the end, he didn't want to argue with his eldest brother, after all, this was the achievement of his eldest brother. But Gong Yu still insisted: "No matter what, anyway, the eldest brother is the most profitable among the scholars, and the most knowledgeable among the people who can make money." I don't believe that those who took the exam, or all the students in previous years, could have someone like my eldest brother who could both study and earn money to support his family. ”

Regarding Gong Yu's words, Gong Jian really didn't know how to excuse himself. He thought about it carefully, as if what his second brother said was also right. After all, it was indeed his own idea that pulled the family back from the brink of poverty. I don't know why, but the contents of those books seem to have been in my mind for a long time.

Gong Jian himself couldn't understand these problems, but he knew that the things he did didn't seem to be too worthy of others' admiration, as if these things happened to him, they were all taken for granted, sparse and ordinary.

But now he doesn't want to argue with his second brother about this issue. After all, having a clear goal is also beneficial to the life of the second brother. He coughed lightly, and then turned the topic back to the Zhao family's affairs.

"How did it get to us, those people did mention that Zhao Rong's uncle is indeed extremely talented. Anyway, when he was admitted to the Jinshi, and relying on the financial resources of the Zhao family, he steadily became the Taishou of one side. It is said that at that time, he was young and promising, and took his wife to go to other places to take up his post. ”

Speaking of this, Gong Jian paused for a moment, and then continued: "I just don't know what happened to me in office, both husband and wife died in the field. Originally, everyone thought that the Zhao family would develop and grow again in his hands, but such an accident happened, and now mentioning this matter still makes everyone feel embarrassed. ”

Gong Yu thought for a moment before he spoke: "Zhao Rong did mention his uncle. But he only mentioned one sentence, he had such an uncle who was an official in a foreign country, but died unexpectedly, as for the rest, he did not mention a word. ”
