Chapter 521: Tangled
The old housekeeper was entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he looked down on Gong Jian's poor boy, and felt that the reason why he bothered to marry Miss must be for Miss's huge family property, on the other hand, he had to admit that his two old fellows would never look at the wrong person. They all supported Gong Jian, which shows that the kid does have merit.
Watching the two of them talking, the topic actually went more and more deviated, and it had long been stopped on the palace fitness, the old housekeeper was in a hurry, and he had to interrupt the topic that the two of them continued to develop in the past: "What the hell are you talking about." In the next Xiucai exam, will Gong Jian's kid participate in it? If he does, how sure is he?"
The old housekeeper's abrupt question made Song Ma and Tian shopkeepers both in the same place, and both of them had already talked about the topic elsewhere, but they didn't expect that the old housekeeper was still entangled in Gong Jian's question.
It's still the shopkeeper Tian who reacts quickly, knowing that he is an old guy and has that awkward character. So he opened his mouth and comforted softly: "It's useless for us to be in a hurry about this matter." As long as we wait for the results to be announced after the Xiucai exam, we will naturally know. ”
The old housekeeper listened to Shopkeeper Tian's unhurried answer, his anger rose uncontrollably, and without much thought, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Why is it not our business?"
But as soon as he said this, he immediately realized that when he just heard Song Ma talk about it, what he said at that time: It was just a trivial matter. Isn't this a slap in the face now? He quickly shut up, and glared at the shopkeeper Tian who was there unwillingly, and he said, Lao Tian is cunning.
With such a slander in his heart, although the old housekeeper was a little worried in his heart, he was really embarrassed to continue the topic of Gong Jian. He could only be perfunctory, chatting casually with the shopkeeper next to him and Mother Song, and finally didn't ask what he wanted to ask, and in the end he could only do this, and reluctantly left the living room.
As for Song Ma and Tian Shopkeeper, although they also saw the awkwardness in the old housekeeper's heart, no matter how much they said about this matter, it didn't make much sense. After all, Gong Jianshen did not participate in this Xiucai exam, and after participating, he was somewhat sure that he would be able to be admitted to Xiucai.
These are not things that they can decide with a few words. They can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Gong Jian can successfully pass the Xiucai exam.
Of course, in their hearts, if Gong Jian can pass the Xiucai exam and achieve Xiucai's fame, this is already a very remarkable thing. For a junior who has been away from private school for several years, it is really commendable to be able to pick up books and test his fame so quickly.
In their hearts, if Gong Jian tests the fame of Xiucai, then they will contact the old club and strongly recommend this young junior. After all, in their opinion, after Gong Jian took the test for Xiucai's fame, he had the capital to meet his old club.
At that time, if they say a few more kind words, it is estimated that there is hope for the good things that will lead to the two of them. What they didn't expect was that Gong Jian had long since stopped taking the little Xiucai to heart, and his goal was to enter Beijing and become a sergeant. Only at that time did he feel that he had the capital to marry Miss Tian.
Not to mention the two families in the county, they have been worried about the upcoming talent exam. At Uncle Gong Jian's house, their family was also anxious about another matter.
As the days go by, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The hot weather at this time is like a portrayal of Gong Yaozu's irritable mind. He stayed at home day by day, becoming more and more unbearable, and the dull days at home were uneventful.
He is now missing very much, when he was in the town with those fox friends and dogs, eating meat and drinking wine every day, that was a wonderful life. That's the life he wants to live.
Thinking about it again, the passionate, tense and exciting scene in the gambling hall made him feel as if he was in it again. Every time he thought about it, his hands itched, and in fact, his heart itched unbearably.
Gong Yaozu really wanted to go back to the town, leaving this day of doing nothing every day, dull like boiled water, if it weren't for the weather still changing day by day, he almost thought that the days at home were like going to prison day by day.
In fact, Gong Yaozu's life at home was still good. After all, three meals are not worried. Every day he just pretends to sit at his desk.
Although his father often sneaks into his room for spot checks, who is Gong Yaozu? He only needs to sit at the desk with his back to the door, and use a few books to lean his upper body on the table, so that he will not lie on the table when he falls asleep, so that he can rest assured and boldly fall asleep.
After all, his father didn't dare to really enter the room and disturb his reading, so he could only sneak a glance at the door, and every time he saw his son obediently sitting at the desk, holding the book and reading hard, Uncle Gong Jian was also very pleased. But in fact, the son who was reading hard in his eyes was actually always asleep with a book in his arms.
Gong Yaozu is upset about this plain life, he is counting the days with his fingers day by day, and he has been working hard for more than two months, seeing that these three months are about to be full, he can go out to wave freely again.
Just when he was so entangled, he naturally didn't notice that his father and mother were in a bad mood recently, and the two of them were getting more and more anxious, sometimes discussing something behind his back at home, and sometimes they kept going out, but they came back soon, and they had to toss more than a dozen times a day, and they didn't know what they were for.
What Gong Yaozu wanted to think of was that his father and mother were even more anxious to calculate the things left behind in Gong Jian's family at this time. In the past few months, the two of them have already made up their minds that they must take all the remaining things in that house to their own home. Even if he digs three feet into the ground, the soil in his yard must also belong to his own family. So from that day on, Uncle Gong Jian began to frequently appear in front of the old village chief.
In Uncle Gong Jian's impression, of course, it had already been planned, that is, since Gong Jian's family had not come back for several months, it could be seen that they had something wrong outside and couldn't come back. He was very happy with this result in his heart, after all, when he thought of his brother, who had often been praised by his parents before, died outside in such an unknown way, unable to return to his hometown, Uncle Gong Jian still felt very relieved.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
