"This is my eldest brother...... Big brother, this is the lilac sister of my master's family, this little brother is ......" relatives are here, Gui Qiu introduced it with a little excitement, and he was a little hesitant when he saw Gui Chongyang.

The black fat girl looked at the half-grown child in front of her, a little curious. It is really Gui Chongyang's bearing like the little young master of the town's scholars, even if there is no silk and satin around him, his little face is white and tender, and his body is a long shirt, without any village atmosphere.

Gui Qiu and the black fat girl both looked at Gui Chun, waiting for him to introduce them.

"This is my cousin Chongyang, who just came back from the south, four years younger than you, and the fourth cousin's uncle's family." Gui Chun said honestly.

"Fourth uncle?" Gui Qiu frowned, and thought for a while before his eyes widened: "That fourth uncle, grandpa's family?" ”

Gui Chun nodded, Gui Chongyang had already begun to call people: "Second Brother Qiu, Sister Zhou." ”

Gui Qiu's master's surname is Zhou, and Gui Chongyang is not good at calling the girl by her name, so he calls her by her surname. Gui Chun was beside him, and he also followed Gui Chongyang's salutation: "Sister of the Zhou family, let's rush to the market, come over to find Guiqiu and say a few words, you go and get busy first." ”

Zhou Dingxiang replied and said, "Brother Gui, Little Brother Gui, you sit down and talk, I'll go back to the stove first." "The kung fu of speaking has already gone in a hurry.

The three brothers sat down, and Gui Qiu stared at Gui Chongyang up and down several times.

When the "Nine Ding Change" was in place, Gui Qiu didn't remember anything, so he didn't have much resentment towards the culprit's uncle, but he just listened to his grandmother's curses, and he didn't have a good impression.

"The fourth uncle is also back? Milk says nothing? Gui Qiu was curious about the reaction of everyone in the family: "The little cousins are all so old? The fourth aunt over there also came back, so what should the cousin do? ”

There is no reason to deny it, but a stick should be inevitable, right?

This little cousin looks like he is not a person from his own family, and the fourth uncle is developed? Is it a return to home, or is it something else? The little cousin has filial piety on him? Birth mother's? Is it a living person or a coffin? Did the fourth uncle take the opportunity of losing his wife to "return to the roots"? When the fourth uncle stole the silver and ran away from home, he was younger than himself, only fifteen, not yet a child, and he was almost thirty this year.

Gui Qiu had all kinds of questions in his heart, but because Gui Chongyang was there, it was not good to ask directly, so he asked questions in a roundabout way.

"Fourth Uncle...... It was gone last year, and the fourth aunt was gone when she was a child in Chongyang. The grandmother didn't say anything, and the cousin was happy that there was incense in the long room, and said that she would provide Chongyang with education in the future. Gui Chun said.

Gui Qiu listened, his eyes lit up, and said, "Chongyang can read, how is it reading?" Can I take the test for middle school children? The latter sentence couldn't wait to ask Gui Chongyang directly.

Gui Chongyang has been paying attention to Gui Qiu's reaction, the Gui family has lived a hard life for more than ten years because of Gui Yuan, doesn't he hold grudges and don't get angry? How is it that there is no doubt and the meaning of accepting it directly?

Full of doubts, Gui Chongyang still said with a little modesty: "You may be able to give it a try the year after tomorrow." ”

The children's examination is divided into three sessions, the county examination and the government examination are held every year, and the hospital examination is two examinations in three years. After passing the government examination, he is a child, and after passing the hospital examination, he is a showman.

This year is the 20th year of Yongle, and the 21st year of Yongle next year is the year of the township examination, and there is no hospital examination; In the year after that, Gui Chongyang was filial piety, and it was the year of the hospital examination, if it was smooth, a show would be in hand in a year.

"How sure?" Gui Qiu asked.

Seeing his expectant appearance, Gui Chongyang weighed it in his heart and said, "The hospital test depends on luck, but the county test and the government test are not afraid." ”

Chinese people have always paid attention to modesty, Gui Chongyang's words make others not know modesty, and they will cause jokes, but he is really serious with his little face, and it doesn't seem like child's play when he says it.

Gui Qiu rubbed his fists and clapped his hands and said, "How old are you, as long as you pass the county test." Don't worry about the family, I will study with my cousin for you in the future. ”

Gui Chongyang was taken aback, this "turning enemies into friends" was too fast.

I heard Gui Qiu pull Gui Chun and said: "Big brother, a few days ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival Boat Race, the county lord summoned the county students to come out to write poems and letters, and the boy from the Mei family won the first place, and the county lord directly awarded him ten taels of silver to buy books. That's ten taels of silver, and the family can't save it for a few years, just a poem, I can see it, if you want to get better these days, you can't help but read! The master also said that it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family, and if you want to really live a good life, you have to change the lintel. Even if the little cousin only gets a child, the next generation will produce a showman, and then the next generation will produce a lifter, and the days will rise. Don't talk about others, isn't the Mei family like this? ”

The temperaments of these two brothers are different, Gui Chun is really honest, and his brain is not very bright; Gui Qiu knows this in his heart, and he sees it longer than Gui Chun.

Gui Chun disagreed: "Whose life is lived step by step, where is there a good thing to climb to the sky in one step?" Even if Chongyang reads, he can't put all these on him. He's still young. ”

Gui Qiu said: "I didn't think about waiting for ready-made, I will learn the craft from the master, and I will slowly make money in the future." ”

Gui Chun nodded and said: "It's better to be down-to-earth, others are good, we don't envy others." It is said that Mei Sheng is a Wenqu star...... It's not like ......."

Gui Qiu didn't argue with Gui Chun either, and secretly waved his fist at Gui Chongyang, saying "come on" in the most gulliest.

Gui Chongyang didn't nod and said, "Second brother, since you know the importance of reading, do you want to go back to school to study?" Didn't you and Brother Chun also follow your aunt to enlightenment, but they were delayed later? Don't worry about tuition, my dad left me some money. ”

Gui Qiu laughed when he heard this: "Where am I that material?" To be able to know the words completely, it is already a lot of effort. When I was a child, I thought that being a bookkeeper was mighty, and I thought that I would grow up to learn to be a bookkeeper after I knew how to read, and I was happy when I heard the sound of the abacus. ”

However, the bookkeeper is different from the cook, the cook is a manual job, and there is a need for handymen around him, and he can always learn one or two from three or five years of apprenticeship; The bookkeeper can do it for a lifetime, how many of them are meant to take apprentices?

didn't wait for Gui Chongyang to speak again, but heard someone next to him: "Okay, you only like to be a bookkeeper, you don't like to be a cook, right?" Hmph, I'll tell my dad when I get back. ”

It was Zhou Lilac who came over with two bowls of noodles, and just happened to hear this sentence and joked about it.

Gui Chun was uneasy when he heard this, Gui Qiu had already jumped up and begged for mercy: "In the future, I will call you sister, and you will spare me, that was my wish when I was a child, and now I want to be a good cook!" ”

Zhou Dingxiang glanced at Gui Qiu, "hummed" and ignored him, and brought the noodle bowl to Gui Chun and Gui Chongyang: "Rush to the road early in the morning, eat a bowl of noodles to pad your hunger." ”

Gui Chun stood up to refuse politely, but Gui Chongyang had already gotten up and thanked him: "Thank you, Sister Zhou, you got up early in the morning, and now you are hungry." This smell is fragrant, Sister Zhou is a good craft. ”

Zhou Dingxiang smiled with crooked eyebrows and said, "I also think it's good, but my father said that I am still far behind, and I said that I should be a senior sister." The last sentence was said to Guiqiu with a bit of pride.

Gui Qiu was also obedient, and immediately said: "Senior sister! ”

"Hey!" Zhou Dingxiang responded immediately, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and be happy.

Gui Qiu also laughed, and there was a little more warmth in her helplessness.

Such a girl with a big temperament can't help but attract people's attention.

Gui Chun was a little unaccustomed to such a joke, but Gui Chongyang was a beautiful bystander.

Such a straightforward and cheerful girl has a very good temperament; The black spots can be maintained, and the chubby ones seem to be "heirs of the li".

Gui Chongyang only felt that the sky was blue, the grass was green, and the hidden worries in his heart were gone, obviously he was a little cousin, but he always remembered that he was going to be the team leader, and he began to the heart of being a father.

That's right, everything is just right.
