Chapter 121: Intercession
Hearing this, Xu Xiangwan really couldn't help laughing: "Grandpa, my brother has entered Tingtao Academy, what else do you want to do with that trial post?" What's more, this trial post is hard to find, where did my brother get so much money? You owe a favor for several lifetimes, and you plan to ask for another one, so how do you plan to repay the favor? ”
Let Gorou come forward to try the post, owe favors, and they come to enjoy the results, it's really a good calculation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What's more, Tingtao Academy is famous all over the world, but not any crooked melon and cracked jujube can be mixed in." Xu Xiangwan unceremoniously made up for it.
The originally good atmosphere was destroyed by Xu Xiangwan.
Old Man Xu blushed, pointed at Xu Xiangwan and said angrily: "Shut up!" ”
Xu Xiangwan had already finished saying what he had to say, so he naturally closed his mouth obediently and continued to sit aside and pretend to be wallflowers.
"Grandpa, my grandson knows that you want to try the post for Brother Lang. However, my grandson might as well tell you the truth, I really can't get this trial post. Gorou clearly refused, without any delay.
After listening to Goro's words, although Old Man Xu was a little disappointed, he did not give up, but continued: "Alas, this matter is indeed a bit embarrassing for you. ”
Xu Xiangwan pursed his lips, Old Man Xu specially called Wulang over, and said such a long sentence as a foreshadowing, it shouldn't be so easy to retreat, right?
Sure enough, Old Man Xu immediately said: "Tingtao Academy is a world-famous academy, you can't lose your sense of proportion after you enter." In this way, I will ask Brother Lang to follow you to the academy, first, I can take care of you, and secondly, I can mention it from the side, so that you don't know how to be young and sophisticated. ”
Old man Xu's words were high-sounding, obviously he wanted to rely on Goro's nepotism to send Xu Dalang to the academy, but when he said it, it became like he cared about helping Goro.
Xu Xiangwan, who was sitting on the side, whispered: "Shopkeeper Zhu is already helping my brother choose a companion to read." ”
Old Man Xu didn't bother to look at Xu Xianglate, and said to himself: "We are all Zhuang families, even if we have a few dollars, don't go to learn what kind of companion to study in a big family, if you have those money, it is better to keep it for your brother Erlang and Eighth Brother to go to the private school to study for two days, so as not to even write a name in the future, and lose the face of our Xu family." Although you have all separated, I should not say this, but we are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water, broken bones and tendons, you have a better life, and you should take care of your brothers and sisters. ”
Hearing this, it was really justified enough, and Xu Xiangwan couldn't help blushing for Old Man Xu.
Xu Xiangwan suddenly began to rejoice, fortunately they were separated from each other, otherwise living with these people would have to follow sooner or later.
Gorou was also angry when he heard this, but he has always been a polite person, and he will not openly contradict Old Man Xu, so he said: "Grandpa, our family has only been separated for a few months, where did you get any money?" It's just that I can afford to eat. What's more, all this money is earned by hard work, and I can't call the shots. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to let Brother Da Lang follow me to the academy, Brother Da Lang is about to take the college exam, and after the college exam, he will be a showman, and following me to the academy will delay him. ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he will follow you just to listen to what the academicians of Tao Academy have to say, if you don't understand, you can also ask the academicians for advice." Old man Xu has lived for such a long time, how can he not hear that Gorou is refusing, but for the sake of his precious eldest grandson, he is out of the way.
There are some things that Wulang is not easy to say, but Xu Xiangwan can have no scruples: "Is this my brother admitted to Tingtao Academy or Brother Da Lang?" Grandpa, you are planning to let my brother be Brother Lang's attendant, where is Brother Lang going to take care of my brother? ”
Listening to Xu Xiangwan's words, Goro's eyes softened, but he still turned his head and glared at her, but his tone was not stern: "Little child, what are you talking about?" ”
Xu Xiangwan grimaced at Goro, sat upright again, and continued to stretch his ears to listen to the conversation between the two of them.
was interjected by Xu Xiangwan from time to time with a sentence or two, and every sentence choked Old Man Xu so much that he didn't know how to answer, Old Man Xu's face was really angry, and he couldn't wait to throw her out of the door, but unfortunately today Old Man Xu was asking for help, and he couldn't get angry, so he had to endure it alive.
"Alas! Where do you little ones understand my hard work? If your brother Lang can be admitted to Xiucai, he will be admitted to Jinshi in the future. In the future, you brothers will support each other, and you will also have a support in the officialdom, so that you can go higher and stand more stable. There is a Taoist priest who has told your fortune for Brother Da Lang, and it is certain that he will be an official in the future, if he can go to Tingtao Academy, he will have a greater certainty. Now that you are separated, brothers should be even closer to each other, lest in the future, when I close my eyes and kick my legs, you will be alienated from each other in the next generation. Old Man Xu spared no effort to recommend Xu Dalang, and even secretly reminded Wulang to hug Xu Dalang's thighs, so as not to take care of Wulang when Xu Dalang became an official in the future.
Hearing this, Xu Xiangwan really wanted to laugh three times, her family Wulang was admitted to Tingtao Academy at the age of less than eleven years old, and she really didn't believe that she would have to rely on Xu Dalang, who was seventeen years old and had not yet been admitted to Xiucai, in the future.
Wulang frowned when he heard this, and only after listening to Old Man Xu finish speaking, did he say, "Grandpa, I really can't do anything about this." In order to cultivate the hands-on ability of the students, Tingtao Academy is only allowed to bring one companion or a small student into the hospital, and the companion and the small student are not allowed to enter the classroom, and can only be active in the dormitory of the students, and it is difficult to contact the academician. So even if Brother Da Lang goes with me, I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense. ”
Naturally, Old Man Xu had never heard of these rules, and when he heard Goro say this, Old Man Xu immediately frowned and hesitated.
In the end, Old Man Xu still gave up the plan to let Goro take Xu Dalang to Tingtao Academy, and instead proposed to let Xu Erlang or Xu Balang be Goro's companion.
Gorou naturally couldn't agree, so he replied: "It's not easy for my grandson to be admitted to Tingtao Academy, and when I get to the academy, my grandson must be studying wholeheartedly, and I don't want to be distracted to take care of Hachiro." As for Brother Erlang, a few days ago, he also teamed up with outsiders to steal the tips of my peas, if he followed me to Tingtao Academy, I'm afraid it won't be okay to spread it? ”
Old Man Xu didn't expect that Wulang didn't agree to a single request, and he was a little stunned. He didn't have much hope of getting the trial post before, but he just felt that Gorou refused the first request, and as compensation, he would definitely not refuse his second request, but he didn't expect Gorou to completely ignore his own feelings and refuse them all.
This made Old Man Xu feel a big blow, and his face turned white and blue, and blue and white.
Old man Xu is used to being high all the year round, his children and grandchildren are obedient to him, accustomed to him, especially Wulang, who has always been filial, has never disobeyed him at all, but he didn't expect that today he has begged him so "in a low voice", he even doesn't give himself face like this, which makes Old Man Xu extremely unacceptable.
