Although Zhao Rong has curiosity about that big brother Gong, it is not very strong, and the reason why he brings up this topic is just because Gong Yu seems to be very happy to mention his eldest brother.

Just look at the appearance of Gong Yu's eyes shining when he mentioned his eldest brother. Let Zhao Rong see that his heart is happy, as if Gong Yu's rare appearance, except for himself, no one else saw it, which made him feel a sense of joy in his heart.

Hearing Zhao Rong's inquiry, Gong Yu answered his question with great interest, but he ignored that Zhao Rong's address to him had been abbreviated from the second brother to the second brother. The relationship between the two seems to have become a lot closer with the change of title.

But at this time, Gong Yu didn't realize this at all, but instead began to talk to Zhao Rong with great interest about how amazing his eldest brother was.

"No, little brother, you don't know how powerful my eldest brother is. It was only at the beginning of this year that he suddenly decided to participate in the imperial examination, and from the moment he made up his mind, he devoted himself to his studies. If it weren't for the basic physiological needs, I think my eldest brother would basically not remember to eat, not to sleep, and to devote himself to those boring books. ”

Speaking of the months when Gong Jian studied hard, Gong Yu seemed to remember something terrible. Carefully narrated to his little brother, those months were a stressful day for their family.

"During that time, we didn't know exactly what time my eldest brother slept or when he got up. Anyway, at home, almost no one can see him, and the lights in the study are on from morning to night. We didn't dare to disturb my eldest brother's study, and the three meals a day were on time and put at the door of the study. Sometimes, the eldest brother will forget to eat, and we have to urge again and again to see him hastily solve the meal. As for sleeping, none of us can guarantee that he will be able to urge him to sleep every day. ”

During that time, Gong Jian had been immersed in hard reading, and he didn't see anyone in the study. That is, when the family urged him to eat, he was able to see him by chance. At other times, it was difficult for everyone to see Gong Jian. Of course, this period is still very short.

After this period of hard study, the eldest brother began to go out every day. Every morning before dawn, the eldest brother has already gone out, and it will not come home until the sky is full of stars and it is very late. ”

Hearing Gong Yu's description, Zhao Rong couldn't help but feel a little strange.

At the beginning, what Gong Yu said was that his eldest brother was studying hard at home, which Zhao Rong could understand. After all, in his opinion, ordinary talented people can probably be admitted to Xiucai if they study hard for ten years. But listening to Gong Yu's introduction, his eldest brother has only studied in a private school for less than a year, so this eldest brother can be admitted to Xiucai at such a young age, in addition to his amazing talent, it must have also worked hard. So for what Gong Yu said, his eldest brother was studying hard at home, Zhao Rong understood very well.

But for later, Gong Yu's words changed, but it became that Gong Jian went out every day, leaving early and returning late. Zhao Rong is a little unclear. Since he had doubts in his heart, he asked directly: "Second brother, what is Brother Gong going to do when he goes out early and returns late every day? Is it to visit a famous teacher?"

In Zhao Rong's opinion, listening to Gong Yu's description just now, it must have happened this year. Just a few months before the Xiucai exam, Gong Jian decided to take the scientific exam. And Gong Yu also introduced that his eldest brother is still good at reading, so it must be very easy for Gong Jian to pass the children's test.

Next, Gong Jian studied so hard, it must be for the sake of Xiucai's exam. And he doesn't study hard at home, but has to go out every day, and if Zhao Rong wants to come, there is only one reason to visit a famous teacher for guidance.

But this time he guessed wrong, Gong Yu shook his head, and then he solved his doubts, "No, my eldest brother goes out early and returns late, and he goes to the county school every day to check the test papers of the imperial examination in previous years." ”

This time, Zhao Rong was puzzled. At the same time, his admiration for Gong Jian rose in his heart. Why hadn't he thought about it before, it was indeed a good way to check the exam papers of previous years. Not only can you analyze your own level according to the content of students' exam papers in previous years, but you can also learn from other people's exam papers as your own experience.

Gong Jian's move, even Zhao Rong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Gong brother is indeed smart, and he has found such a good method.

Although before, listening to what Gong Yu said, Zhao Rong knew that the words that came out of the second brother's mouth naturally had no moisture. Therefore, early on, in fact, he had a general impression of Gong Jian, and now, when he heard how Gong Jian prepared for the exam, in his mind, this impression of Gong Jian slowly plumped up.

Thinking of the lifting exam for a few days, Zhao Rong couldn't help but speak: "Second brother, since Brother Gong is so powerful, I have watched the lifting exam for a few days, and Brother Gong must be on the list." In the past few days, it just so happens that you don't plan to disturb Brother Gong, so you can accompany me to have fun in the provincial capital. ”

Although I was surprised by Gong Jian's diligence and intelligence, in Zhao Rong's heart, the most important thing was the second brother in front of him who cared for him. So soon, as soon as he changed the topic, he had already returned to the topic of playing before, and once again strongly asked Gong Yu to accompany him to play in the provincial capital these days.

Gong Yu was not unaware of Zhao Rong's careful thoughts, but he didn't have any resistance to this little brother who had just met these little brothers. So for his suggestion that he should accompany him to play in the provincial capital, of course Gong Yu would not refuse.

"Of course that's fine, little brother. In the past few days, I will take you to the places I have played before, and after a turn, if there is still time, then the two of us will be in the provincial capital together, find out, and whether there are any other interesting places, which is also a good thing. Didn't we agree before? We will probably leave at this time in the next few days, and I think that a few days will be enough time for us to walk around the provincial capital. ”

Hearing Gong Yu once again assured that the itinerary of these days. Zhao Rong's heart was full of joy and pride. But just when he was full of joy, an incongruous voice sounded next to him.
