Gong Yu, whose eyes widened in surprise, opened his mouth to ask his eldest brother at this time: "Big brother, what is it called selling oneself to bury one's father?" When he heard this word from the man's mouth just now, he didn't understand the general meaning of this word. Obviously, he knows and understands these four words completely, why don't he understand these four words together.

Before Gong Jian could open his mouth to explain to his younger brother, the passer-by spoke enthusiastically again: "Hey, this little brother, you don't know the meaning of these four words, let me tell you." This betrayal of his father actually means that this person is so poor that he has no choice, his father died, he has nothing on him, and there is no way to do anything for his father. So he simply came to the street and wanted to sell himself, so he used his money from selling his body to bury his father. ”

Under the explanation of passers-by, Gong Yu understood what it meant to sell his body and bury his father. He couldn't help but nod at first, then turned his head with some confusion, and asked, "Then this person is really a filial son, in order to bury his father, he actually had to sell himself into slavery." ”

In fact, Gong Yu doesn't approve of this kind of behavior in his heart, but all along, whether it is the gentleman in the private school teaching the students, or the remarks of the people, they are all advocating filial piety. Therefore, although he did not agree with this kind of behavior, he did not say anything against it.

Gong Jian, who had been watching the conversation between the two of them, said helplessly at this time: "It is indeed very rare to sell yourself to bury your father, but it is not so that everyone will run out, come here to see the excitement." You see, the streets are blocked, and the two of us originally wanted to go to the shop to buy some things, but now we can't go. ”

When the passer-by heard that the two brothers actually came to West Street to buy something, his attitude couldn't help but be more cautious, and those who could go to these shops on West Street to buy goods should have some net worth, so he immediately showed some regret on his face: "It's not, everyone doesn't know how to come out to see this excitement today." I guess it's not just the merchants on West Street and the people who come to buy things, I estimate that half of the people in the provincial capital are piled up here. It's really unfortunate that the two little brothers are in a hurry, but I guess they will be able to disperse in a while. ”

Hearing passers-by say that it is estimated that this bustle will dissipate in a while, Gong Yu couldn't help but ask: "Has that person found a buyer?" This big brother, how do you know that this bustle will disperse in a while?"

The passer-by touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and then said: "Hehe, didn't I also listen to what others said, I heard them say that there is a lively thing to see here, a rare thing to sell and bury my father, and it is said that there have been some changes in this matter, and it is still lively." Otherwise, I'd still be selling things in the East Market, and I wouldn't have come here to watch the excitement. It's just that when I came, there were already people standing in front of me, so I didn't see any specific situation, so I could only put my feet on this side, trying to see the situation in front of me. But I've been standing here for a while, and if I want to do something, I can't take up so much time on this side of West Street. If the jam is too much, someone will come to the yamen to disperse the crowd. ”

Only then did the two Gong Jian brothers know that the person in front of them had been tiptoeing to try to see the excitement

Big brother, in fact, he doesn't know anything about what happened before, he just listened to what others said, and he only roughly knew that there was a lot of excitement here, and it was about selling his body to bury his father, but he didn't know anything about the specific situation. He was just a passer-by who listened to other people's words and ran over to see the excitement.

Most of the people standing around here will be like him, and they are just hearsay, and they will run over to see if they know that there is a bustle here, and they don't know what is going on in front of them.

Gong Yu looked at the crowd in front of him, turned his head and asked Gong Jian: "Big brother, look at us, do you still want to go to his store to buy gifts for Yue'er now?"

Looking at the dense crowd of people, Gong Yu was a little stunned, he didn't know what to do with his two brothers, through this dense crowd, to their original destination, the shop that sold bronze mirrors.

Although Gong Yu was unwilling, he always felt that it was rare to be able to come out in the afternoon to buy gifts for Yue'er, if the eldest brother was going to take the exam in two days, it was estimated that in the next two days, they would not come to such a lively place again.

Gong Yu originally thought of one thing, and it was best to finish it quickly, so even in the current situation, he still hoped that he and his eldest brother could successfully reach their goal. As for watching the so-called excitement of selling his body to bury his father, he didn't have much interest.

It's just that he didn't know what the passer-by said, the bustle in front of him should disperse in a while, and the crowd congesting the road should also disperse, but he can't guarantee how long this time will be. Could it be that the two brothers are going to be here, waiting blankly, it is estimated that many of these people standing on the periphery are also in this situation, originally came to West Street to run errands or buy things, but in this case, they could not advance or retreat, and they could only stand here, but became more people congesting the road.

Hearing Gong Yu's question, Gong Jian was also a little hesitant in his heart, and he couldn't make up his mind now. Originally, in his plan, he bought the gifts today, and in the next few days, he estimated that he would have to seriously adjust his mood and state in the small courtyard, and prepare for the next two days of the exam.

Not to mention that Gong Yu did guess correctly, Gong Jian had indeed planned the arrangements for the next few days. Today should be the last day of their play, and in the next few days, he is expected not to sell far, but to adjust his body and mood in the small courtyard, as well as the best state to take the lifting exam.

As for his second brother wandering around the provincial city alone, Gong Jian was also a little uneasy. Therefore, today's small half a day's time, in fact, he deliberately set aside to buy gifts for his family, and now the other gifts are ready, only the little sister's gift remains, and he needs to go to the store in this West Street to buy.

The two brothers are now blocked at the intersection of the street, and they don't know exactly what the situation is, and they don't know how long the congestion will last. Now, both of them are in a dilemma, I don't know whether it is better to continue to wait here, or simply go home and come back when I have time.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
