The brother and sister talked, and soon reached the upper room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old Man Xu was sitting in the living room, smoking dry cigarettes one after another, filling the whole room with smoke.

Seeing Gorou and Xu Xiangwan coming in hand in hand, Old Man Xu didn't even glance at Xu Xiangwan, but just smiled at Gorou and said kindly, "Gorou is here?"

No matter what Old Man Xu's attitude towards Xu Xiangwan was, Xu Xiangwan still politely saluted him with Gorou.

"Sit down. Old woman, bring a bowl of sugar water to Goro. After Old Man Xu beckoned Gorou to sit down, he shouted out the door again.

Xu Xiangwan thought that he would hear Cui's angry scolding, but he didn't expect that there was no sound outside the door.

After a while, Cui Shi personally carried a bowl of steaming sugar water in front of Gorou, but his face didn't look good, and when he saw Xu Xiangwan's surprised gaze, there was a tendency to turn black further.

Still, Choi remained rare silent.

When did Choi change sexually, or was she reborn like herself?

No one answered Xu Xiangwan's doubts, and Cui Shi left the living room with his eyelids down after putting down the sugar water.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, Xu Xiangwan knew that there was nothing good about coming to the room.

Wulang looked at the sugar water in front of him, and then at Xu Xiangwan, and suddenly lost his perfunctory interest, looked up at Old Man Xu, and asked straight to the point: "Grandpa, I don't know if you asked Hachiro to call me, what is the so-called matter?"

Old Man Xu glanced at Xu Xiangwan, and the meaning was very clear, that is, let Xu Xiangwan go out quickly, don't interrupt here.

It's a pity that Xu Xiangwan is like an old monk who has settled down, just sitting upright with his eyes and nose and nose and heart, not moving.

Although Wulang saw what Old Man Xu meant, how could he open his mouth to let Xu Xiangwan leave, so he said: "Grandpa, although Wan'er is still a child, she is a sensible person, and the family will need her to take care of it in the future, there is nothing that she can't know." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Xu sighed heavily and muttered softly: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate......"

Listening to Old Man Xu's words, Gorou frowned unhappily.

Seeing this, Old Man Xu stopped, took another heavy puff of cigarette, slowly spit it out, coughed, and then said, "I heard that you were admitted to Tingtao Academy?"

Even people in the town know about this news, and there is no reason why Old Man Xu doesn't know.

Gorou nodded, naturally not denying it.

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Xu said earnestly for a long time to teach Wulang to speak in a measured manner, study hard, and do things steadily, as if he cared about Wulang, and even Xu Xiangwan felt that Old Man Xu was ready to be a good elder.

Regarding Old Man Xu's words, Wulang nodded his head one by one, and as for whether he listened to it in his heart, it is unknown.

Gorou has always acted in moderation, and he doesn't need Old Man Xu to guide him, Xu Xiangwan secretly rolled his eyes on the side, but he neither moved nor interjected, trying to be a little transparent without any sense of existence.

It wasn't until Old Man Xu said all the family mottos and family rules of the Xu family that he stopped the topic.

Finally finished speaking, Xu Xiangwan couldn't help but yawn, if it weren't for the presence of Old Man Xu, I was afraid that he would have to stretch a big waist.

"Wulang, your admission to Tingtao Academy can be regarded as a glory for our family, for so many years, although our Xu family has a lot of scholars, and our ancestors have also produced Jinshi, but no one has ever entered Tingtao Academy. This is the glory of the ancestors' manifestations!" Old Man Xu was obviously a little excited, and even his eyes were a little red.

After listening to Old Man Xu's words, Gorou did not say a word of modesty, but remained silent, his expression was faint, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

However, Old Man Xu didn't intend to ask him to answer, but continued with great interest: "However, as the saying goes, a hero has three gangs, a fence has three piles, our family has a shallow foundation and a thin foundation, if the family can't be united, it will not be easy for our family to prosper." ”

Old man Xu shouldn't regret the separation, right? Xu Xiangwan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"I heard that you were able to be admitted to Tingtao Academy this time, is there a noble person to help you?" Old Man Xu finally began to ask.

Finally about to get to the point, Gorou's brows relaxed, and he replied truthfully: "Yes, a noble person sent a trial post." ”

After confirming the news, there was obviously a smile on Old Man Xu's face: "It's a good thing to know the nobles." Why haven't I heard you mention it before, and I don't invite you to sit at home?"

"The Seventh Master has always been low-key, and he doesn't like others to publicize it everywhere. Gorou replied respectfully, with no flaws in his expression.

Old Man Xu stared at Wulang for a long time, and then sighed: "Now you are all older." I know that you blame me for not sending your brother to a private school in the first place, and blame me for being hard-hearted and separating your family, and even more hate me for not stopping your third uncle from selling your sister in the first place. But it's not easy for me to be an elder, and you don't understand the situation in our family......"

"Ah Gong, let's not talk about the past. If you're okay, I'll have to go back and get my luggage ready. Gorou frowned and interrupted Old Man Xu's words.

These are not pleasant memories, and Gorou doesn't want to relive them again along Old Man Xu's train of thought.

Old Man Xu also knew that what he said made Gorou dislike, but he didn't say this to get Gorou's understanding, but just to express that he was forced to do so at the beginning.

"Since the noble man is willing to send you Tingtao Academy's trial post, it means that he values you very much, and now that you have been admitted to Tingtao Academy, I'm afraid he values you more, right?" Old Man Xu's topic has been revolving around Tingtao Academy, and Gorou doesn't need to use his brain to know what he is thinking.

"Ah Gong, that noble man doesn't value me, but he just gave me a trial post because of fate. Grandson, I'm just an ordinary farmer, how can I be valued by others?" Gorou didn't explain how he got the trial post, but blocked Old Man Xu's mouth with words.

Old Man Xu looked at Wulang, who had a bright forehead and good facial features, and suddenly felt a little guilty, but when he thought of his eldest grandson, this guilt was quickly suppressed: "Wulang, when did you learn to perfunctory your grandfather? Although your grandfather is old, his eyes are not flowering." Two days ago, you returned from Fucheng, and the noble person personally escorted you, this is not called value, then what is value?"

Wulang didn't want to entangle with Old Man Xu, so he frowned and said, "Ah Gong wants me to find someone to ask for a trial post again, right? Gorou didn't have the confidence to ask for another trial post. ”

Old Man Xu was suddenly a little anxious: "But haven't you already entered Tingtao Academy now? As a student, you can always find a way to find a trial post, right?" )
