After dinner at Xie Fuzi's house, Grandpa Gao took Gao Jing and them to leave, and at noon Grandpa Gao had not recovered from his drunkenness, so Gao Lang told the coachman to slow down. Grandpa Gao rubbed his sore forehead and said, "It's really old!" After hearing this, Gao Yu hurriedly said, "Where is Grandpa old?" Gao Jing also agreed: "Grandpa is when he is strong, where is he old, and drunk headaches are regardless of age." After hearing this, Grandpa Gao waved his hand and said, "I really can't talk about you!" ”

"Grandpa, there are no other arrangements after going back this time, right?" Gao Yu asked.

"Oh, don't you say that I almost forgot, you have another day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow there will be a big banquet at home, and your brothers will go to accompany you!" Grandpa Gao said!

"I also thought that the hospital had tried it, and I could go out for a few days!" Gao Yu said depressedly.

"You think grandpa is entertaining guests for myself? You all took the exam together, how could grandpa not have a banquet for such a big event? Grandpa explained.

"Let grandpa work hard, grandpa has worked hard!" The three of them said in unison.

"Work hard for you, grandpa doesn't work hard, and besides, this kind of hard work with glory, how many people can't look forward to it!" Grandpa Gao said happily.

"Then let's try to make Grandpa work harder a few more times!" Gao Jing quipped.

"Then Grandpa is waiting," Grandpa Gao replied. "Grandpa knows that you study hard, and Grandpa hasn't rewarded you in this exam, you want to think about what you want, as long as grandpa can do it, I will promise you!"

"Thank you, grandpa!" Gao Lang and the three thanked in unison!

"Master, young master, I'm home!" The voice of the coachman was heard outside.

"You guys go back tonight and think about it, think about going to the study tomorrow to find me, I took a few days off, and I'm at home these days!" Grandpa Gao said.

"Got it, grandpa." Gao Jing and the three replied.

After saying that, Grandpa Gao, they got out of the carriage and went back to their respective courtyards.

Gao Jing didn't wash up and rest after he went back, but went directly to the study, opened the drawer he locked, took out the paper that he had made old, and told Grandpa Gao tomorrow that he wanted a tool to boil sugar as a reward, and Grandpa shouldn't refuse!

After breakfast the next day, the three Gao Jing brothers went to the study together to find Grandpa Gao.

"Coming here so early, it looks like I've figured out what I want!" Grandpa Gao said affirmatively.

"Grandpa, I want to ask grandpa to help Lin'er choose a good family!" Gao Lang took the lead in saying.

"Lin'er is my own granddaughter, if you don't say I'll too. I've already drawn up a few candidates for your grandmother, and she'll give them to your mother later, so she can choose from them! Grandpa Gao replied.

"Thank you, grandpa!" Gao Lang said gratefully.

"Thank you for what, I worry about my granddaughter's family affairs and use you to thank you?" Grandpa Gao said angrily: "It's a reward for you, Lin'er's business doesn't count, tell me what you want?" ”

"I want to pin a soft sword to my waist!" Gao Lang said with some embarrassment.

"What's so embarrassing about this, you are my own grandson, as long as you want, I will do my best to satisfy you!" Grandpa Gao said.

"Grandpa, you're so nice!" Gao Lang looked at Grandpa Gao with admiration.

Grandpa Gao smiled and said silly, and the boy asked, "What about Yu'er, what do you want?" ”

"I want to go outside!" Gao Yu replied!

"Where do you want to go?" Grandpa Gao asked.

"I want to go to the Wudang Sect to see, we have studied the kung fu of the Wudang Sect for a few years, and we haven't even been to the master's sect, isn't it too undeserved!" Gao Yu said.

"Not in the past few days, wait until you're done with this while!" Grandpa Gao replied.

"Grandpa, you agreed!" Gao Yu said in surprise.

"What? Do you think grandpa won't agree? And what do you say? Grandpa Gao quipped.

"I'm not holding on to a fluke, thinking what if you agree!" Gao Yu said embarrassedly.

"What do you want?" Grandpa Gao asked.

Gao Jing took out the old paper and said, "Grandpa, I saw this paper in the Fucheng bookstore, and I put it away when I thought it was interesting, I want to ask grandpa to find someone to help me make the tools on the map!" ”

"What happens after it's made?" Grandpa Gao asked.

"I want to try it the way it says on paper, and maybe I can boil the sugar!" Gao Jing explained.

"Jing'er, can you tell grandpa why you want to do this?" Grandpa Gao asked.

"I want to make more money so that I can pave the way for the future!" Gao Jing explained.

Grandpa Gao was silent for a while and said, "You hand that piece of paper to Grandpa!" ”

Grandpa Gao took the piece of paper, carefully read the method of boiling sugar on the paper, pondered for a while and said, "You can try it." ”

"Grandpa, do you agree? Thank you grandpa! Gao Jing said happily.

"I agree with Lang'er and Yu'er, how can I disagree with you? But I'll say the ugly thing first, if you can't make sugar after many experiments, you have to give up, your main task is to study the imperial examination, do you understand? Grandpa Gao said earnestly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson understands." Gao Jing assured.

Grandpa Gao was relieved to see that Gao Jing really understood.

"Grandpa still has some official documents that haven't been handled, so you all go back!" Grandpa Gao said.

As soon as Gao Jing and the three of them heard that their grandfather was going to deal with official business, they retired and left together.

A few days later, Grandpa Gao called Gao Jing and his three brothers to the study, took out three soft swords of different sizes and said, "The soft sword is ready, one for each of you!" ”

"Grandpa, I didn't want a soft sword!" Gao Yu shouted.

"I know you didn't want it, last time Lang'er asked for a soft sword reminded me, you will often go out to meet friends in the future, and you will go to Songshan Academy to study next year, it is inconvenient to always hold a sword in your hand, grandpa specially instructed the swordsmith to refine three soft swords, you pin it to your waist, in case anything happens in the future, you can have a self-defense weapon!" Grandpa Gao explained.

"Thank you, grandpa!" Gao Jing and they replied in unison.

"Didn't Yu'er say last time that she wanted to go to the Wudang faction to visit your Master Zhang, our family's grain shop has always had business dealings with the Wudang faction, just after the banquet, your second uncle will escort the grain to the Wudang faction, and you will go with your second uncle!" Grandpa Gao said.

"Grandpa, I'm going with my third brother?" Gao Lang asked with some uncertainty.

"What? Don't want to go? Grandpa Gao quipped.

"Of course not, I thought that grandpa only promised to let the second brother go!" Gao Lang explained.

"Didn't the soft sword I promised you also give to your second and third brothers? You are all my own grandchildren, and I am all the same to you! "Grandpa Gao's emotional sermon.

"Grandpa is so nice!" Gao Lang said with a sense of emotion, and the imbalance caused by Grandpa Gao's soft sword to Gao Jing and Gao Yu also dissipated!

Grandpa Gao poured cold water when he saw that they were happy because they were going out: "Although Grandpa promised you to go out to play, but the homework that should be reviewed still has to be reviewed, and I will go to Songshan Academy to take the entrance exam in February next year, and I can only be admitted if I pass the exam, so don't take it lightly!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" Gao Jing and the three replied.

"The things that should be explained have also been explained, you can go back!" Grandpa Gao instructed.
