Chapter 334: Reluctantly
Mother Song was still talking: "As long as there is a place for the eldest lady, Gong Jian's attention will always be in that direction." Anyway, yesterday's afternoon contact, Gong Jian did give me this feeling.
But speaking of which, it feels like this kind of thing is really ethereal, so I didn't come back and didn't talk to you about it in detail. Although, Gong Jian's reaction touched me very much. That's why I don't know why, I can rest assured that the eldest lady will be put in his home to recuperate. “
After speaking, Mother Song turned to the old housekeeper again, he knew that among the three people sitting here now, the old housekeeper was the most anxious to know the situation of the eldest lady.
"I know that the old butler has always blamed me a little bit, leaving the eldest lady alone in Gong Jian's house. But in fact, what I want to say is that if you see the affectionate gaze of Gong Jian's later life at Miss, you can understand why I made such a decision.
This is not only because of the eldest lady, but also because of the inconvenience of moving, so the best way at the moment is to stay at Gong Jian's house to recuperate. is even more because, seeing Gong Jian's gaze, I think his feelings for the eldest lady are absolutely incomparable to ordinary people. “
The shopkeeper Tian next to him also interjected at this time, "Yes, old housekeeper, what Mother Song said is indeed the true situation." Seeing Gong Jian's gaze at our eldest lady, how to describe it, that gaze is a husband and wife who have been together for more than 20 years, and they may not be so affectionate.
At first, I was very strange, but Gong Jian and I sat in their hall and talked for a while. Gong Jian proposed that he wanted to ask to marry our eldest lady.
I also deliberately bluffed him, saying that he had taken a fancy to Tian Kee's family property. I told him viciously that even if he married Miss Tian, it would be impossible for him to give him Tian Kee's family property. Gong Jian's kid is honest, he is almost in a hurry with me.
You know, I've never seen him blush for anything for more than a year. As a result, just today, he almost broke his work. Or maybe he's anxious and ready to quarrel with me. “
Thinking of Gong Jian's anxious appearance, Shopkeeper Tian laughed unscrupulously again. He said: "You don't see him like that, he doesn't have the confident and calm appearance of the past. He was anxious to distinguish between them, as if he were afraid that I would classify him as those villains who peeked into Tian Kee's property. ”
Hearing Shopkeeper Tian say this, the old housekeeper over there muttered in a low voice, "Isn't he?"
Of course, the shopkeeper Tian knew that just based on the descriptions of him and Mother Song, it was impossible to reassure the old housekeeper and make him feel that he could marry the young lady to Gong Jian. So he felt that it was very normal for the proprietress to ask this sentence.
He explained slowly: "Gong Jian's kid also thought that their family and Tian Ji, the difference between the two families is too far. If he asks to marry Miss Tian, he will definitely be thought to be plotting for Tian Kee's family property. So he also expressed his position, he decided to participate in the imperial examination, and after gaining fame, he would come to marry Miss Tian, just to be able to have more wins. ”
Hearing that Gong Jian was going to participate in the scientific examination in order to marry Miss Tian, and vowed to achieve fame and fame, and then to marry Miss Tian, the old housekeeper and Mother Song's faces were much better.
Mother Song was purely worried about Gong Jian, she had seen Gong Jian and knew his feelings for her own young lady. So in fact, she agreed from the bottom of her heart that she married Miss Tian to Gong Jian, after all, this young man who was the first one she saw and felt relieved to be able to hand Miss into his hands.
But she also knows that others who look like Gong Jian are definitely not like her, those people can only see that there is too much difference between the two families, and the reason why Gong Jian, a poor boy, asked to marry Miss Tian, who has had a strange illness since birth, must be because of Tian Ji's huge assets.
She didn't want that young man's mind to be trampled on by such a casual misunderstanding by others, if Gong Jian could achieve fame and ask to marry Miss Tian again, at least on the surface, it would definitely sound better.
And the old housekeeper over there was not completely, and was persuaded by the words of the shopkeeper Tian. After his complexion improved slightly, he couldn't help frowning again, and he asked the shopkeeper Tian, "Did Gong Jian say that he had to get any fame?"
Actually, what the old housekeeper wants to say is that Gong Jian's kid won't want to take the test for fame, so he will come to marry our eldest lady. You must know that if Gong Jian does that, it will only be humiliating himself, which is not much different from him marrying in vain.
Although Xiucai is rare in these ten miles and eight towns, the people who take the Xiucai test for a year are unknown all over the country. If Gong Jian thinks that if he has a talent and fame, he can be qualified to marry Miss Tian, then he must be very wrong.
When the shopkeeper heard the old housekeeper's question, he didn't know how to answer, and Gong Jian only said that he was going to participate in the scientific examination and gain fame. But he really didn't say how far he was going to get in the exam.
But Shopkeeper Tian thought about it, but he observed carefully, this young man has been for more than a year. In fact, a few days ago, the two talked about the imperial examination. At that time, Gong Jian showed confidence, Tian shopkeeper still has an impression.
So Shopkeeper Tian looked at the old housekeeper, and then replied to him slowly: "What is the specific step of Gong Jian's examination?" I didn't ask carefully, but I think about it, he will not stop at Xiucai's fame." Shopkeeper Tian still kept an eye on it, and he didn't say it all. Although he believed in Gong Jian's ability very much, he also heard Gong Jian say that his previous knowledge was very solid.
But the imperial examination was not like others, and the shopkeeper Tian had to leave some way back for him.
Of course, the old butler also noticed what the shopkeeper Tian said, and he snorted softly, wanting to say something against it. He hesitated, but instead of saying it, he changed to something else.
"Then let's see, what step can this junior student named Gong Jian get in? If the Gong Jian you are optimistic about can pass the test, then he can take the test in June. ”
As for the lifting exam held in the autumn, the old housekeeper didn't say it at all, in his thoughts, he felt that Gong Jian lived in such a remote mountain village, and if he could try his best to take the Xiucai exam this year, he would already burn high incense from his ancestors. He didn't think that Gong Jian could still take the exam.
The old housekeeper thinks about it again, his eldest lady is only sixteen years old this year, although he should say that he is close at this age, but his eldest lady is in a special situation, and it is not too late to raise it at home for another year or two. He wants to see how well Gong Jian's junior can be tested in the past two years.
