Chapter 4 The So-Called "Nobles"
Zhang Tianshi is really young! It's so good-looking! Gu Ming had already seen him once in her previous life, but when she saw him again this time, she still had to sigh. There are few people in the world who don't know the name of Zhang Tianshi, but few people know that he is like this.
"Master, seeing that you are in a hurry, no matter what you say, you have to invite the Heavenly Master into the mansion to drink a cup of tea and take a breath!" Yao smiled and said with disgust.
Gu Wang patted his head, smiled, and apologized to Zhang Tianshi: "Heavenly Master, look at you...... I'm just anxious, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the first place again and again. I hope you don't care. ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Tianshi smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Although he is very young, he smiles like this, but people naturally have no way to despise him. Even the frivolous hope that he had just spoken was a little more restrained now.
Gu Wang was anxious, and Zhang Tianshi understood very well. How can you not be in a hurry! There have been many characters in the ancestors of the Gu family, but when it came to Gu Wang's father's generation, he was the only seedling, and he didn't pass the exam, and the flame of being an official was suddenly broken, and no one came out.
Originally, this was nothing, no matter how powerful the scholarly family was, he couldn't dare to guarantee that someone would be an official from generation to generation. Old man Gu couldn't become an official, so he held his breath to give birth to children, and gave birth to a total of three sons, thinking about how to have a good future, right?
But who would have expected that looking at the three brothers of this generation, there is still no one who has any talent. Gu Wang only hit one! One! Root! Read! The novel xstxt is a showman, and those two didn't even catch a show.
Gu Wang ranked third, and the eldest Gu Teng was a concubine, and the second Gu Sheng was a concubine. Gu Wang has a reputation for being a talent, and Gu Teng started a business with the sponsorship of his mother with a dowry. There is only Gu Sheng, who is not a martial artist, but the children are not missing, two boys and five women, and the embarrassment of life can be imagined. Therefore, when the three brothers usually interact, Gu Sheng has the most strange words, and what he says always has a vinegar smell.
Thinking that he couldn't study, he put his hope on his son. It's just a pity that none of his two sisters-in-law and three concubines have any talent in reading. After reading so many books, I have invited a lot of famous teachers, but until now, I can only barely make a few decent eight-strand essays, if you want to say that it is wonderful, it is far from it.
So in desperation, he pinned his hopes on ethereal things like gods and ghosts.
Moreover, because he was afraid that his sons would not even have this ethereal comfort, he asked his wife Yao to bring out the daughters of the family to see the Heavenly Master. Although the daughter can't study, if she can marry a good husband, she will be able to help her mother's family in the future. Although it is not as direct and powerful as a son's talent, when the son has no ability, it is better to have a daughter with a talent than nothing.
So he heard that Zhang Tianshi had arrived in Runan, so it took a lot of effort, and he didn't know how much he was in the same year, and he didn't know how much money he spent, so he finally invited Zhang Tianshi to his home and gave his more than ten children a good look at each other.
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Tianshi followed Gu Wang into the living room of the outer courtyard and slowly finished the tea.
It seems that Runan Gu's Lizi is really empty, and now there is only such a shelf left. This hospitality tea, although it is also said to be a high-quality Ming Qian Longjing, but it is last year's old tea. It seems that a small number of items are purchased every year, specifically for the purpose of entertaining customers, and if you don't finish eating, you won't get new tea, or even worse, you directly purchase old goods that are cheaply handled by the store.
It's no wonder that Gu Wangyi is anxious, if none of his children have any prospects, I am afraid that a few Zhuangzi and a few shops in the city outside the city will not be able to keep it. Zhang Tianshi secretly thought in his heart, and regardless of Gu Wang's restless expression, he just drank tea slowly.
"Heavenly Master, look at ......" It was easy for Zhang Tianshi to finish drinking the tea, and Gu Wangjian was about to ask. But before he finished his words, he saw Zhang Tianshi close the bone china bowl of azure flowers, and said softly: "I'm in a hurry on the way, and I'm a little thirsty, please have another cup." ”
You're thirsty and drink so slowly! Gu Wang was dumbfounded, and looked at Zhang Tianshi with wide eyes. But the expression on Zhang Tianshi's face was still faint, and he couldn't see anything.
"Sir!" Seeing this, Yao quickly reminded.
Gu Wang reacted at this time, and hurriedly called people to serve tea again.
Zhang Tianshi tasted the tea slowly again, not in a hurry at all. The eleven children in Gu's third room stood outside the living room in two. At first, it was okay, but after waiting for a long time, one by one stood upright and impetuous, staggering.
Only Gu Ming had the best mentality, she kept her head half-down, standing quietly behind the crowd, without saying a word.
Zhang Tianshi's tea was finally finished and drunk, and he gestured to Gu Wang with his eyes. Gu Wang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and instructed Yao to let these children stand in a long row, with boys in front and girls in the back, and stand up.
Seeing that the children in front of him were lined up in a panic, Zhang Tianshi walked over in a hurry.
Gu Shan, who ranked first, was the eldest son of the Yao family. The Gu family style is strict, the main room is infertile, and the aunts are not allowed to get pregnant, and they will always let them drink the soup of avoiding children. However, Rao is like this, and the eldest daughter Gu Miao is only four months younger than the eldest son Gu Shan. It just so happens that Gu Shansheng is in the first year, and she is in the middle of the year, so she is also fourteen years old this year.
It's just that she's embroidering the dowry upstairs by herself now, so she didn't come. At the scene, boys, girls and children were added together, a total of eleven people.
Gu Ming still stood at the back quietly, looking at this long dragon-like team, and sneered in his heart. Gu Wang has not achieved anything in the imperial examination in his life, and he only has one talent, and it will be difficult to advance an inch. It's a pity that there is no competition when he gives birth, otherwise he will definitely be able to get a good ranking.
Zhang Tianshi stood still in front of Gu Shan, looking at him quietly. Gu Shan was extremely nervous, as the eldest son, he was destined to inherit the family business in the future, and naturally his parents had high expectations for him. But he understands his own business, and it is not the material for reading at all, so he ...... He hoped that the Heavenly Master would tell him that he had a good life.
It is best to be able to marry a daughter from a well-born family, so that you can borrow the power of the Yue family. Of course, it would be better if I was lucky enough to be admitted to the Jinshi as an official......
Gu Ming waited quietly. In her previous life, she waited with hope as well. Then Zhang Tianshi saw her at that time, his eyes lit up, and he praised repeatedly: "The real nobleman is here!" He also gave her a big salute, which frightened her and quickly dodged away.
But at that time, she was really happy when she heard the words of the Heavenly Master, thinking that her fate had been changed. O nobleman! O nobleman! How expensive does it have to be for someone as great as Zhang Tianshi to salute him?
From now on, everyone in the family will be more polite to themselves, right? You're going to be much better off in the future, aren't you?
However, she didn't expect it at all, but this sentence harmed her life.
What a "nobleman" is, in fact, just a false name that has no benefit at all. In this life, she doesn't plan to ask for it...... Whoever wants, who goes!
