Chapter 232: The Gift
Gu San said to Gu Shinuo with a straight face: "The three of us have discussed it and want to return to the team in advance. We couldn't stay at home, and when the elders of the family didn't mention our marriage, they would tell us that we should return from the army as soon as possible, or that we should continue to study and take the exams. ”
Gu Shinuo's eyebrows deepened, and he looked at him and said, "Have you ever thought about the future?" Gu San took a deep breath, he nodded, and said, "Naturally, I thought about the future, we told me that people like us, after a few years in the army, it is better to return home to continue their studies." ”
After Gu Shinuo pondered for a while, he looked at him and said: "I like the life of the army, but I also want to continue the scientific examination, we have read books for so many years, I don't want to stop at Xiucai." I still want to keep trying, and I can get to that point in my studies. We're not too old now, we don't study with gentlemen in the school, we can do our homework on our own.
I've seen a lot of older talents, and they usually study on their own before taking scientific exams. Gu San looked at Gu Shinuo with a look of surprise in his eyes, and in an instant he clapped his hands and said, "Gu Shi, you have always thought more far-reaching than us, so we will do it according to your arrangement." We don't know how many years we can stay in the army, we always have to retreat, and it will be as difficult to make a living in the future.
If we have the name of lifting the son, we can still be officials when we come back. Gu Shinuo smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, we are now in the army, but we always have the silver that we came to get when we were old, but I am afraid that it will not take long." At that time, we should have become parents and children, and we should not only care about ourselves, but also for the sake of our children. ”
Gu San and Gu Shinuo were talking, and he had already beckoned everyone to go to Tian's house. Stopped Gu Shinuo and said, "We can only go to the Tian family to meet the old lady of the Tian family now, you have the heart to go over, and we also have to prepare some gifts to meet the elders." After Gu San's immediate reaction, he smiled and reached out to pat his head and said, "Let's go, go back up the gift." ”
The six of them discussed the gifts, and after they walked around the street. I didn't see anything to my liking. Everyone decided to go home and ask the elders of the family to help prepare gifts. After all, with such a big decision as a big matter, they still have to talk to their families in advance, but they can't follow the same things as the army. Let the family know later, and then they ate a very heavy hanging.
The six of them thought very clearly, and the elders of the family knew that they had such long-term plans, and none of them would be so worried about their livelihood in the future. The six men quickly turned the corner. One by one, they ran home happily early, and they knew it very well. The people in the family will be happy to help them prepare gifts for their visits.
The three men of the Donggu family returned home and went to talk to the old lady in charge of the family, and they shouted outside. So he rushed in and met the people. The men of the Xigu family came home to talk to the old lady of the family, and when they asked to see them, they still waited outside for a while. They know it in their hearts. Since that time when he joined the army on his own, the old lady of the family has been a little impatient to meet them.
They had thought that the old lady would embarrass them somewhat. Unexpectedly, this time the old lady was in a good mood, and let them in to talk after a while. The old lady of the Gu family looked coldly at the great-grandsons of the three in-laws, and he was angry with the three great-grandsons in his heart, and he was very convinced of them. When he was young, he also had the urge to join the army, but his elders at home blocked him and still lived his life step by step.
He kept his face calm and whispered, "Have you figured it out?" After deciding to go this time, you won't go again once you return? Among the three, Gu Shinuo was the most courageous, he raised his eyes and looked at the old lady and said, "Grandfather, we are here to tell you, after we go this time, when we have a holiday, we will go directly to the capital to participate in the scientific expedition."
The matter of registering for the scientific examination still needs the help of the elders in the family. The old lady of the Gu family looked at him and said, "When are you going to take the scientific examination?" Gu Shinuo looked at the other two people, and when he saw their blank expressions, he sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't make a decision about such a thing, he said to the old lady of the Gu family: "Grandfather, I plan to participate in the scientific examination the year after tomorrow." ”
The other two men reacted, and one of them said: "Grandfather, I am not as smart as my tenth brother, I have to prepare for a few more years, and I will take the scientific examination one session later." The other man nodded at the same time and said, "Me too, I will participate a few years later." Old Lady Gu looked at them and said, "That's thirteen years late, right?" ”
The two young men nodded very affirmatively, and the old lady of the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, grandfather will strive to live for a few more years, and I must see that you have a good future." The old lady of the Gu family beckoned them not to stand in front of him, he frowned and said, "Sit down, I look up and see that you are also hard." ”
Gu Shinuo and the three of them hurriedly sat down at the head of the old lady of the Gu family, and the old lady of the Gu family said: "You have to talk about such a good thing with the elders of the family." There is still homework to do, so be sure to prepare quickly. What do you have in mind, do you want to send you books and various materials from home every quarter? ”
Gu Shinuo hurriedly shook his head and said: "We and the three brothers of the Dong Gu family, we want to go and ask to see the three brothers of the Tian family, their family is a scholarly family, and people in the family have participated in the scientific examination in the past few years. And the year after tomorrow, two of their in-laws, the Ji family, will go to participate in the scientific expedition. The old lady of the Gu family raised her eyebrows and said, "You want the brothers of the Tian family to introduce the two students of the Ji family to you?" ”
Gu Shennuo, the eldest of the three, hurriedly spoke: "Grandfather, we won't be such uninteresting people, those two are working hard, and we can interfere with other people's business." We just wanted to ask the third child of the Tian family if he could transcribe some necessary books for us, and see if we could do the homework, and see if we could get the guidance of the eldest master of the Tian family after bringing it back. ”
The old lady of the Gu family listened to Gu Shennuo's words, his eyes looked at the other two great-grandsons with heavy eyes, and seeing that they had the same expression and intention, the expression on his face became calm. The old lady of the Gu family's fingers beat rhythmically on the table, and Gu Shennuo, Gu Lunuo, and Gu Shinuo all sat up straight with bated breath, waiting for the old lady of the Gu family's reply.
"Buckle, buckle, buckle." After the old lady of the Gu family repeated it several times, he raised his eyes and asked, "Are the three of you confident that you will definitely participate in the imperial examination?" The three of them nodded affirmatively, and Gu Shinuo said: "Grandfather, we have thought very carefully, one day in the future, when we return from the army, we can't rely on the brothers at home to take care of us, we still have to stand on our own." ”
