Seeing the second brother who had recovered his spirit, Gong Jian was of course very satisfied. He sighed softly and nodded, "Okay, I see." If there's anything you need to do, I'm not welcome. ”

Then his words changed again, "Yes, it's not too early, you should go back and rest quickly." There is nothing else to do in the past two days, but it seems that it is almost time to meet with the merchant. At that time, we will have to listen to his report, and I wonder if his arrival will go smoothly. ”

After a few more pleasantries, the two brothers quickly returned to their rooms to rest. And as the day of the release of the list is getting closer and closer, the number of those literary meetings that Gong Jian can participate in is getting smaller and smaller. The atmosphere in the entire provincial capital has become more and more tense, and everyone is worried and excitedly looking forward to the day when the list will be released.

For the two Gong Jian brothers, the day of the release of the list is indeed important, but the more important thing is the day before the release of the list. They made an agreement with the merchant that on that day, no matter how much he asked, the merchant would rush back to the provincial capital to meet the two brothers.

The two brothers are still looking forward to bringing first-hand news of the Zhao family when the merchant can come back from that county town. Although they were faintly worried in their hearts, after all, they already knew about the xenophobic ancestral training of the Zhao family, so they were all a little worried about whether this merchant would be able to break into the Zhao family as expected in that county, and even contact Zhao Rong.

At this point, Gong Yu is more pessimistic, he feels that since the Zhao family is so xenophobic, it is estimated that except for the little brother Zhao Rong he knows, the other Zhao family members are definitely not like him. If the Zhao family could be as cheerful and refreshing as their little brother, it would be impossible for them to follow that ancestral teaching.

So in Gong Yu's heart, he had a strong worry, and he always felt that the merchant would definitely fail in this operation. What he is looking forward to now is that his eldest brother can be lifted at one time, as long as he has the identity of lifting people, he can also rely on it when he wants to come to Zhao's house to ask for an explanation.

But no matter what, Gong Yu hated the situation in front of him that he couldn't do anything and could only rely on others. Although he relied on his eldest brother, Gong Yu didn't like this feeling. After all, no matter how hard I try since I was a child, I can't achieve the effect of turning things around and changing the facts. On the contrary, everything at home and outside the family has to rely on his eldest brother to make things better.

This sense of powerlessness, or the feeling of sadness and loss that he has worked hard but is useless, Gong Yu felt it clearly in Zhao Rong's matter. If it is said that in the past, the affairs of the family could only be solved by relying on the eldest brother, the economy of the family could only be improved by relying on the eldest brother, and the happy life of everyone in the family could only be given by relying on the eldest brother. These have left deep and shallow marks in Gong Yu's heart, but the touch on him is not as obvious as this time.

Maybe it's because of this incident, it's because of myself that I found my eldest brother. Gong Yu could only guess like this in his heart, after all, Zhao Rong was the first person he met, and he met as a confidant, and the two had a good relationship, and they couldn't wait to be like their own brothers. That's why Gong Yu moved the idea of introducing Zhao Rong to his eldest brother and letting the two get to know each other. But he didn't expect that because of this incident, it would lead to so many troubles later.

Thinking that it was because of Zhao Rong he knew, that the eldest brother had to change his original plan, and even change his original decision. Obviously, the eldest brother hates to participate in the literary meetings of those boring people, but because of himself, the eldest brother reluctantly wants to go out early and return late, and he also has to know more people, and deal more with those students who are bubbling with sour air and speak differently. The eldest brother forced himself like this, and worked so hard to increase the weight for his side, but it was not all because of himself.

It can be said that the touch on Gong Yu this time is very huge, and he has never experienced his incompetence so deeply as this time. The eldest brother is obviously only two years older than him, but his style and ability seem to surpass his two lifetimes.

While worshipping his eldest brother more and more, Gong Yu inevitably disliked himself more and more. Academically, he is not as smart as the eldest brother, the eldest brother only went to private school for more than a year, and then dropped out of school and had no chance to study after staying at home, but when the eldest brother made up his mind to participate in the imperial examination, in less than a year, the eldest brother had already come to this level, and achieved such an achievement, and the eldest brother would soon be able to achieve fame.

Although there are no results yet, everything is still unknown, but Gong Yu deeply feels that with the level of the eldest brother, he will definitely be able to get this fame, after all, the eldest brother's goal is to be admitted to the Jinshi to become an official.

Thinking of his eldest brother's life goal, even if Gong Yu was depressed, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in his heart. The eldest brother's goal is to marry the young lady of the Tian family, and the reason why the eldest brother works so hard is that he has basically forgotten to sleep and eat for more than half a year, studying behind closed doors, all in order to be able to successfully pass the imperial examination, and the ultimate goal is to be able to successfully have the qualification to marry Miss Tian.

After laughing, Gong Yu's heart moved, he realized a little, could it be that the reason why the eldest brother is so capable is because he has always had a clear goal, and after having a goal, he will do his best to work hard. With such a cognition, Gong Yu looked back and thought back on his short sixteen years of life.

It seems that this is really the case, although I have been thinking of ways to solve things when I have encountered them since I was a child, but I have not really taken solving this matter as my only goal. He remembered the firmest determination he had ever made, which was to go to the landlord's house and ask to go to work to earn some money to make ends meet the family.

But at that time, although going to the landlord's house was the only way he could think of, he was also very clear in his heart, so he went to his house to work in the same style of the landlord's house, not to mention the exhaustion and tiredness, and he couldn't get a few wages. But I couldn't think of a better way, so I could only do the only thing I could.

Perhaps, it's time for another goal in life. Gong Yu secretly thought in his heart that maybe after having a goal, he could also work forward step by step as firmly as his eldest brother, so that he could become more and more powerful. One day, he will be able to be an example to others and a source of support for others.
