, "Big Sister ......"

"The eldest sister is very happy, you haven't become a bookworm like the third uncle." Gu Mingqin said suddenly, causing the younger brother opposite to be stunned, and then both of them laughed. After laughing, Gu Mingqin's face returned to seriousness, "Okay, let's not talk about this, don't talk about state affairs at home, anyway, there are still two months, maybe after two months, the world will be peaceful." You don't care about the affairs of the family, just study hard. ”

"Eldest sister......" Gu Yuecheng was a little annoyed, and after talking for a long time, his sister didn't listen to a word. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt defeated, and before I could say something more, I was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door—

"Eldest sister, have you slept?"

It was Gu Xin's voice. Hearing his voice, the sister and brother couldn't help but glance at each other, what is he doing at such a late hour? Rao is doubts, facing the elders, Gu Mingqin still didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded: "It's here." He hurried over and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Gu Xin, Gu Mingqin hurriedly let him into the house, and asked as he walked, "Second uncle, it's so late, you haven't rested yet?" ”

"I went to see Lao Zhang just now and learned about today's situation, and I was a little worried, so I came to see you and asked you." Gu Xin was not polite, and sat down directly on the chair, it seemed that he was going to have a long talk. When I turned around, I saw that Gu Yuecheng was still standing beside me, and I was stunned, "Why are you still here?" ”

"I ......" Gu Yue wanted to explain something, but before he could speak, he was stopped by the other party waving his hand—

"It's not early, hurry back to your room and rest, you have to go to school early tomorrow morning, don't delay your studies."

When Gu Yuecheng heard this, he frowned, academics, academics, everyone always mentions academics in front of them. Gu Yuecheng was not convinced, and originally wanted to talk to this elder well, but before he could speak, the sister opposite was already glancing at him. Seeing this, Gu Yuecheng had no choice but to give up, just clasped his fists and bowed: "The junior retires." Seeing that the other party nodded, Gu Yuecheng had no choice but to turn around and leave with the unwillingness in his heart. I never thought that I had just walked to the door, but I was stopped by the old man—

"I remember this year's exam, it should be in September, right?" Gu Xin looked back at him and asked as if tentatively.

Gu Yuecheng was stunned, a little unclear, why did the second uncle suddenly care about his exam date? Looking up at her sister, the other party also shook her head slightly, puzzled, she didn't know? A light cough sounded, Gu Yuecheng was shocked, and suddenly turned around, only to find that the old man was looking at him, and his frowning brows seemed to be a little impatient. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Second uncle has a good memory, this year's exam is indeed in September." ”

"So, less than three months?"

Gu Yuecheng hesitated for a while, glanced at his sister, and then replied, "Yes." ”

"Time is running out." The old man stroked his beard and sighed with emotion. looked out the window, retracted his gaze, and looked at his nephew, "From now on, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family, don't ask, just study wholeheartedly, your eldest sister and I will arrange everything, you don't have to worry." When the time comes, I will go and talk to Mr. Wu, and I will find a way to send you to Beijing at the end of the month......"

"Second Uncle ......" Hearing this, Gu Yuecheng was surprised. I thought that for the sake of this family, I wouldn't go to the exam; Who would have thought that this elder not only asked him to continue taking the exam, but also advanced the departure time by a whole month? In this regard, Gu Yuecheng was naturally unwilling, and just wanted to say something, but was stopped by his sister's eyes, Gu Yuecheng had no choice but to swallow the words on his lips again. But fortunately, my sister is speaking for herself this time—

"Second uncle, there are still more than three months before the exam, isn't it inappropriate to let Yue Cheng go over so early?" Gu Mingqin asked tactfully, and gave his younger brother a warning look, warning him not to be impulsive.

"You know what, this kind of thing, the sooner you go, the better. To put it bluntly, our place is a country. Yue Cheng has been at home for more than ten years, and he has never seen much of the world. Go out early, take a walk, especially when you arrive in the capital, who doesn't have that place? Being close to others is also good for his future career. Gu Xin patiently explained to Gu Mingqin. When he turned around and found that Gu Yuecheng was still in place, he couldn't help but be surprised, "Why are you still here?" ”

"I ......" Before Gu Yuecheng could answer, he was intercepted by Gu Mingqin—

"The second uncle is right, go back and rest early, I have to go to school tomorrow." While speaking, Gu Mingqin pushed him out, looked at him, and silently reminded him, don't ask, don't talk about it.

Gu Yuecheng understood what she meant, although he was unwilling, but considering that Gu Xin was an elder, he couldn't say anything. With his head bowed, he sighed and left his sister's room listlessly.

Looking at his younger brother's lonely back and thinking of what he had just said, at this moment, Gu Mingqin's heart was also full of contradictions. On the one hand, she hoped that he could stay, even if he did nothing, as long as he stood by her side while she spoke, and that would be enough. After all, the younger brother is the son of the Gu family, and with him, he has the confidence to speak by himself, or simply let him say it. On the other hand, Gu Mingqin didn't want his younger brother to stay, after all, he had been studying hard for many years, and it would be a pity for him to give up at this time. Gu Mingqin is looking forward to his younger brother gaining fame in the examination, and one day, he will be called the king and worship the prime minister. Not only him, but the four sisters and brothers can completely straighten their waists and stand up. It's just that the words he just said made Gu Mingqin have to hesitate, now that the world is so chaotic, will he be in danger if he is let go like this?

Turning his head thoughtfully, he found that Gu Xin had been looking at him, Gu Mingqin was a little embarrassed, walked over, poured a cup of tea, put it in front of him, and said cautiously: "Second uncle, Yue Cheng told me just now that the world is more chaotic now, and there were people who rebelled at the beginning, and I am afraid that it will not be safe in the capital." Now at this time, let him pass, the juniors are worried about ......"

"Did you not want him to go so early, or did he bring it up and not want to go?" Gu Xin asked rhetorically, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked up at the niece in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you really think that Yue Cheng's reluctance to take the exam is because of the situation and because of this family?" ”

"Second Uncle ......" suddenly heard this question, Gu Mingqin was surprised, could it be that his younger brother was unwilling to go to the exam, and there were other reasons? Thinking of this, Gu Mingqin frowned and looked at the old man in front of him, hoping that he would give him an answer.

The old man lowered his head at this time, and raised his head again, his face was already as usual: "Okay, Yue Cheng's matter, let's talk about it later, let's talk about today's matter first." After a pause, Gu Xin continued, "I went to see Lao Zhang just now, it's really ...... Although it is only a traumatic injury, it can hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days, he is so old, and he raises it, in the future, I am afraid that there will be no way to do things......"

"Second uncle, don't worry, Uncle Zhang was injured because of us and is our savior. No matter whether he can continue to work or not, as long as the Gu family is still there and I am still here, I will definitely take good care of him and give him a good old age. Gu Mingqin hurriedly promised.
