Gong Yu remembered that at that time, because the eldest brother was too good in the private school, he secretly bullied the two brothers. After the two brothers suffered several losses, the eldest brother took himself and began a wonderful life of fighting wits and courage with Brother Lobby.

Soon, Brother Lobby couldn't take advantage of the two brothers. At that time, Gong Yu felt in his heart that his eldest brother was his hero.

Gong Yu is not good at these things, and Zhao Rong said it too carefully, after all, it involves the children of his uncle's family. In any case, it's also his cousin, so it's not good to say bad things about his relatives in front of others.

Besides, in retrospect, it was just a child's play. Looking back now, I felt a great hatred at that time, but now I can only make myself smile.

But the basic situation, Gong Yu still told Zhao Rong, "At that time, my brother performed very well in the private school, and every gentleman who saw him was full of praise for him. Everyone believes that my brother is the seed of reading, and he will definitely get ahead in reading in the future and change the door of our family. ”

Zhao Rong's eyes widened when he heard this, listening to Brother Gong's words, his eldest brother was a prodigy. At such a young age, just entering a private school, he can make all the gentlemen praise him, and believe that he will have such great achievements in reading in the future, what is this not a prodigy?

Thinking of this, Zhao Rong couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Since Brother Gong's eldest brother is so good at reading, how can he only read books in the private school for less than a year?"

In Zhao Rong's consciousness, reading is a thing that every child must go through. It doesn't matter if you're in a private school or studying at home, if you want to go, the gentleman will always be there. As long as you get to the school, then there is a gentleman who will teach you to read, so in his mind, what Brother Gong said, his eldest brother has only been studying in the private school for almost a year, then it can only be that his eldest brother is unwilling to go to the private school to study, there should be no other explanation.

This is also because of Zhao Rong's own growth environment, which caused him to have this prejudice, so he didn't think at all that the reason why Brother Gong's eldest brother couldn't study in a private school was entirely because of other external factors.

Although Gong Yu couldn't fully understand Zhao Rong's way of thinking, he was still sure what kind of questions he had when he asked this sentence.

He glanced at Zhao Rong with a smile, and then continued: "The reason why my eldest brother can only study in the private school for almost a year, and there is no way to continue to study in the private school, is mainly because the family has no money, so he has to teach the tuition in the private school. ”

"Ah," this answer was completely out of Zhao Rong's imagination, he never thought that the reason why Brother Gong's eldest brother couldn't study in the private school was because their family had no money.

He turned his head a little incredulously, looking at Gong Yu, he couldn't believe it, in front of him, this smiling big brother Gong, there was still such a difficult situation at home, he couldn't help but look Gong Yu up and down again.

In Zhao Rong's eyes, Brother Gong was dressed quite plainly, but the material of the clothes was not something that ordinary people could wear. That material, Zhao Rong knows, is a new weaving fabric that has just been passed from the south this year. Although the material is cotton, the price is not cheaper than ordinary silk because the production process is very complicated.

The main reason why the material was sold at the same price as silk was that it was very comfortable to wear, and the colors and patterns were relatively fresh. Zhao Rong knew that some of his new clothes this year were made of this material.

At that time, his mother also specially mentioned that this kind of material sold very well in the market, if it were not for their family and the fabric shop owner for many years, these horses of material would not have been able to reach their own family, which shows how popular this new type of fabric is.

The most important thing is that although its price is not cheap, it is not something that ordinary rich and noble families can't afford, but because it is a new variety, the yield is not very high, and ordinary people can't buy this kind of material if they only have money.

Because the clothes on Gong Yu's body are made of this material, Zhao Rong also thought from the beginning that the family background of this palace brother should be similar to his own family. Because of this, he didn't care too much about the money that Gong Yu paid for his wontons, and even more so the money he spent on inviting himself to a meal, in his mind, these money were nothing to him, so Brother Gong shouldn't care very much.

Although Zhao Rong had already thought in his heart that he would definitely invite Brother Gong back in the future, he didn't think about it at all, and directly returned the silver to Brother Gong. After all, in his opinion, it would be an insult to Brother Gong to return the silver directly to Brother Gong.

However, after listening to what Brother Gong said just now, Zhao Rong couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, could it be that Brother Gong's family was not as rich as he saw.

But it's not right, it's not the ordinary rich and noble who can wear this kind of material. And when Brother Gong paid just now, he directly took three taels of silver to pay the bill, his money bag was bulging, and it seemed that there was a lot of silver in it.

These details are connected in series, and Zhao Rong can't believe that Brother Gong's family will have a difficult situation.

But no matter what, he couldn't ignore the worries in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Gong, is it more difficult for your family? If you have any difficulties, please say it directly, junior brother, I have nothing else, and there is still some money at home." Otherwise, the expenses for the next few days will be taken care of by my younger brother.

After all, Brother Gong helped me a lot today, and even invited me to eat such delicious noodles. It saved me from going hungry today, and for me, it was a lifesaver. I also hope that Brother Gong will not be polite and can give me a chance to reciprocate. ”

If someone else says such a thing, no matter how euphemistic it is, it also implies doubts and speculations about their own family background, as well as a faint desire to spend themselves with silver.

Although Gong Yu said that he would not conflict with that person, he would inevitably be disgusted with that person in his heart, but after Zhao Rong said such a remark, Gong Yu had no bad thoughts at all. He knew that Zhao Rong had a very light view of money because of his family's habits.
