Looking at these valuable rituals, Gorou frowned, and became more and more determined to be admitted to Tingtao Academy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't want to accept gifts from others anymore, and he didn't want to hold his head up in front of Shen Qianyu and Han Qi. What's more, the more he came into contact with these people, the more Gorou felt that he was small, but fortunately, Shen Qianyu and Han Qi currently have good intentions towards their own family, if these official eunuchs and wealthy families have malicious intentions towards their own family, he doesn't even have the ability to resist at all.

To protect his family, he had to be strong. And the best way to change one's destiny is through the imperial examination.

Gorou's thoughts coincided with Xu Xiangwan, and after the meal, the brother and sister were pinching pea tips in the field, chatting about the recent changes in their home, and also setting plans for next year's home.

Xu Xiangwan had planned to let Xiao Jiu go to the private school to study after the New Year, after all, Wulang worked in the Sanxin Book House, and there was Zhu Shopkeeper to teach, so he didn't have to go to the school for the time being. However, today's words from Han Qi made Xu Xiangwan change her mind, she planned to let Wulang quit her job after the year and go to a private school to study.

Regarding Xu Xiangwan's proposal, Wulang was a little hesitant: "Shopkeeper Zhu is very good to me, if I quit, will it be bad?" ”

"Brother, you can rest assured of this. After you quit your job, you have to concentrate on studying, and the shopkeeper Zhu will definitely not embarrass you, maybe he will be happy for you! In this way, when Shopkeeper Zhu returns to Guojia Town from Fucheng on the eighth day of the first month, I will go with you to give him a gift gift, and then tell him about your plans, how about it? Xu Xiangwan proposed.

Gorou put the pinched pea tips into the vegetable basket, his brows relaxed, and he smiled: "You are your brother and I are Xiaojiu?" Isn't it just quitting my job, and I still need you to accompany me? I'm worried that I'll live up to the good intentions of the shopkeeper Zhu. And Shopkeeper Zhu has taken care of me a lot during this time, and I haven't repaid them well! I just don't think it's kind of kindness for me to just walk away. However, you are right, Shopkeeper Zhu is a scholar, and he has many expectations for me, and now that I have quit my job to concentrate on studying, I should not be blamed. ”

Seeing that Wulang figured it out, Xu Xiangwan also laughed: "That's right." As long as we remember the kindness of Shopkeeper Zhu, we will have a good life in the future, and we will always have the opportunity to repay him. ”

Gorou nodded, and went back to work.

Zhang's and Xu Qiuyi were picking another piece of land, and only Wulang, Xu Xiangwan, and Xiao Jiu got together.

After a long time, Gorou whispered again: "You and the Seventh Master knew each other before we went to Ganquan County, right?" ”

A whispered question suddenly exploded in Xu Xiangwan's mind like thunder, she opened her mouth and wanted to deny it, but suddenly remembered Gorou's disappointed appearance when she concealed Gorou's knowledge of medicine, and the lie that came to her mouth was suddenly stuck in her throat and couldn't spit it out.

Xu Xiangwan was silent, and Gorou didn't ask, but the atmosphere between the two suddenly became weird, and he was suddenly recognized by the ghost Xiao Jiu.

"Brother, sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you have a weird expression? Xiao Jiu blinked his big black and white eyes, lowered his voice and smiled, "Do you know what kind of dumb riddle you must be playing?" You can rest assured, my mouth is the strictest, and I will not let my mother know. ”

Xu Xiangwan glared at Xiao Jiu, and said angrily: "Your mouth is strict? Who said that we were hit by a carriage last time? And who sued my mother last time I secretly went up the mountain? ”

Xiao Jiu wilted his head all of a sudden, pursed his lips, and said helplessly: "I was hit by a carriage, and no one told me that I couldn't tell my mother." As for the matter of you secretly going up the mountain, sister, aren't I worried that it is not safe for you to go up the mountain alone? ”

"So, I have to thank you for suing me and causing me to be grounded by my mother for a few days?" Xu Xiangwan stared at Xiao Jiudao with a smile.

Xiao Jiu was so frightened that he shuddered, took two steps back, pulled his legs and ran towards Zhang and Xu Xiangwan, looking back and smiling as he ran: "Sister Wan'er, what else do our sisters and brothers say thank you!" ”

Xu Xiangwan was so annoyed by Xiao Jiu that he couldn't cry or laugh, and picked out a piece of mud the size of a little thumb from the ground and threw it at Xiao Jiu, which just fell behind him, so frightened that Xiao Jiu hurriedly jumped two steps forward.

"Be careful with your step, don't step on the bean sprouts and trip over them." Zhang watched the children play beside him, with a happy smile on his face, but there was still a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

The whole family was laughing, and only Gorou bent over and quietly pinched the tip of the pea, isolating himself from the excitement.

Looking at Wulang, who was obviously angry, Xu Xiangwan sighed lightly, and told him the process of his acquaintance with Han Qi as he was, but he only concealed that Han Qi had been to Xu's house in the escort and gave himself a jade pendant.

After listening to Xu Xiangwan's words, Gorou's face gradually improved, but his eyes showed worry, and he reproached in a deep voice: "You kid, you are too bold!" What if you really meet a bad girl? Next time, if you encounter something like this again, don't make your own decisions, even if you don't want to tell your mother, you have to tell me. Brother doesn't want you to die without helping, it's just that if you want to save people, you have to see how capable you are, but don't save others, but put yourself in it. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. If you have something, what should you do? ”

Xu Xiangwan was blushed by Wulang's words, lowered his head and said pitifully: "Brother, Wan'er knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to do such a stupid thing in the future." If there is anything else in the future, I will be the first to tell you. ”

If he had known that saving someone would cause such trouble, Xu Xiangwan would definitely be more cautious.

However, from the current point of view, the advantages of saving Han Qi still outweigh the disadvantages. Objectively speaking, if Han Qi hadn't thought about buying her to be a maid, then maybe she would have been in Zhao Yuanwaifu. Moreover, after learning that Xu Xiangwan was unwilling to be a slave, Han Qi not only apologized to them, but also gave some gifts from time to time, and today even gave Wulang a chance to take the Tingtao Academy. Such a great grace makes it difficult for Xu Xiangwan's family not to owe favors.

Seeing that Xu Xiangwan took the initiative to admit his mistake and his attitude was sincere, Gorou was relieved, and after knowing that Han Qi was to repay Xu Xiangwan for his help, he completely let go of his vigilance against Han Qi.

The family plucked pea tips all afternoon and didn't go home to cook until it was getting dark.

On the afternoon of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Wulang and Xu Xiangwan sent two carts of pea tips to the Chunfeng Restaurant in Guojia Town.

Shopkeeper Feng immediately smiled when he saw the pea tip sent by the two, more enthusiastic than seeing his relatives.

Two carts of pea tips were more than 400 catties, and they were sold for more than eight taels of silver.

Thinking of the more than forty taels of silver hidden at home, Xu Xiangwan smiled with happiness on his face (to be continued.) )
