Chapter 123: Undercurrent (3rd Monthly Pass)
Unless other evidence is found, whether Du Qi is the bloodline of the Du family or the Gui family, only the Li family knows in his heart.
"Paper can't hold the fire, check carefully, there are always clues left. There is also something wrong with Du Qi's obsession, so I will look back and ask the doctor to take a look, but I can't find anything. Gui Chongyang thought for a while.
Although the Mei family is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, there is no other good idea for this matter involving the bloodline of the Gui family, so he can only listen to Gui Chongyang, but he still said: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if he is really the bloodline of the Gui family, if you confront each other, the elders will also be uneasy underground." Before Du Qi's identity is determined, if your uncle and nephew want to move the Du family, don't start with Du Qi. "In the end, there was a solemn plea.
The two got along for a few months, and Mei fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder to Gui Chongyang, and he loved him more. If you really want to talk about it, it's just empathy, just because Gui Chongyang is the son of Gui Yuan and the grandson of Grandma Gui. But if Du Qi is also the bloodline of the Gui family, the Mei family will definitely not be able to sit back and watch the two cousins of the same grandfather turn against each other.
Gui Chongyang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knew that the most important thing in Mei's heart was the inheritance of the Gui family. Whether this inheritor is him or Du Qi may not make much difference to the Mei family.
However, Gui Chongyang didn't say anything, but nodded in response: "Auntie, don't worry." ”
*
The Du family's house, the hall house.
Du Li was sitting in the main seat, and Li and Du Qi's mother and son were sitting on the left and right.
Du Qizheng happily mentioned to his parents today: "Mei Fuzi asked people to spread the word, the school is on vacation for three days, and classes will start at twenty. The son went to the Gui family with Chongyang and Xiaoba, and there are so many books in the Chongyang family, which are not worse than the library in the county school. Chongyang is like a little master, he left homework for Xiaoba, let him write for half an hour, and endorse for half an hour; The son also followed the word. Chongyang was two years earlier than his son Kaimeng, and he had already learned Shiwen, and asked his son to make a silent comment. In the end, there was a look of honor.
Li Shi grabbed the handkerchief, only feeling that his heart was congested, that kid from the Gui family was half a year younger than his son, why should he guide his son Shiwen? Self-righteous guys, but not likable.
Duri was listening with a smile and said, "What did he say?" ”
He said that his son had taken a detour, and he memorized more examples, and he couldn't say that it was wrong, but he couldn't turn it into his own things, and no matter how much he memorized, it would be astringent to write. It's better to start with a simple strategy to write, and then find a good teacher, grind it out little by little, and the government test can be expected. Du Qi said with a little excitement.
Du Qida was not a clever child when he was a child, and there was Yuan Fuzi in the Yuan School to teach patiently, and when he arrived at the county school, he would make up the numbers.
Du Qi was only eleven last year, and there are many people who have only started to learn the scriptures at this age, but the county school is full of students, and even those who are auditors are mostly children who have passed the government examination.
No one taught Du Qi seriously, but he disliked that he couldn't do current texts, so he designated examples for him to memorize. In this way, it is no wonder that Du Qi's current writing grades can be good, and he is despised and criticized a lot every time.
It is the first time that Gui Chongyang affirmed Du Qi's strengths, pointed out his shortcomings, and gave good advice.
There was Mei Xiaoba's diligence in the front, and Gui Chongyang's outstandingness in the back, which made Du Qi, who was originally a little disgusted with reading, have the idea of studying seriously.
Li pressed the corner of his mouth, did not speak, and his eyes showed disapproval.
Du Li Zheng smiled and said, "Really? Then you have to study hard, and Dad will definitely find you a good husband. ”
Du Qi nodded hurriedly and said, "Well, I must study hard." ”
Du Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "After staying outside for most of the day, you go back first and make your favorite meatballs in the evening." ”
"Hmm!" Du Qihuan got up happily, remembered one thing, and said: "Dad, mother, Chongyang's fifth uncle's restaurant Ming'er opened, he and Xiaoba Ming'er went to the town, and his son wanted to go with him." ”
Gui Chongyang's influence on his son seems to have been greater, and Du Li is stunned.
Li said: "Since the Gui family is trading and opening, the Gui family must be busy, what are you doing as an outsider?" ”
"But Xiaoba is also going, and Ming'er has a vacation." Du Qi said reluctantly.
Li said: "Mei Xiaoba has become the second heir of the Mei family, and he is fostered in the Gui family, so he will naturally follow the Gui family, you don't have to learn from him." ”
Du Qi said with a little coquettishness: "Mother, my son wants to go, and my son has told Chongyang." ”
Li Shi was stunned, and before he could say it again, Du Li was waving his hand and said: "You can go if you want, it's just in the town, not anywhere else, but you have to take a hundred years old." ”
At the age of 100, he is the shopkeeper of the shop in the town and one of Du Lizheng's henchmen.
Du Qi hesitated: "My son is eating and drinking with Chongyang, is it okay to take someone with him?" ”
Du Li Zheng said lovingly: "What is not good? When the time comes, send a hundred years old to find him Laozi. If that doesn't work, you study at home. ”
Du Qi nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The Li family was in a hurry, but what her husband had already decided, it was not good to deny it in person, and when Du Qi went down, he complained: "The master is really relieved, aren't you afraid that the kid of the Gui family has bad intentions?" ”
Duri was taking a sip of tea: "It's just a little clever little cub, and he can turn the sky upside down." Qilang was uncomfortable about the county school, and finally someone made him happy, and you can't bear to stop it when you are a mother. ”
Between words, Gui Chongyang is used as a gadget to tease Du Qile.
Although the Li family was uneasy, it was not good to say anything more to the Gui family, so he only said: "The county school is there, just waiting?" ”
The teachers and gentlemen of the county school are all from a high background, and the Li family naturally wants to send his son over.
Du Li Zheng said with a cold face: "Lao Qi is back, and the other party has no follow-up, is this for me to send to the door?" I'm going to town tomorrow, but I'm going to see what the hell is sacred! ”
Although the Li family was worried about his son, he believed in Du Lizheng very much, and when he heard the words, he was relieved and had to nag: "Except for Mei Sheng in this village, no one else can take a move, so it shows that the kid of the Gui family somehow fell into Qilang's eyes." It's better to send him to the county school early, and the provincial ones will learn badly. ”
Du Li was noncommittal, but he thought about Gui Wu, who would open tomorrow, and smiled three points.
Gui Wu returned to Mujia Village for two months, which caused him a lot of trouble. Do you really think that you are the "fifth master", and when you come back to show off your might, you will go back to celebrate your birthday? Dream!
Du Qi is really temperamental, Gui Chongyang said before that he would send someone over to ask him at dinner, but before dinner, he told Bai Sui to go to Gui's house, and remember to make up for the previous gift of going to Gui's house empty-handed, and let Bai Sui carry two bacon.
Gui Chongyang couldn't cry or laugh.
Is the meat delivered casually? Bacon has always been used as an apprenticeship among the people.
I don't know if Du Qi did it intentionally, or it just happened.
Gui Chongyang took the bacon, and asked the hundred-year-old to pass the word Du Qi, and come over tomorrow morning, and the ox cart will leave on time, and it will not wait for the time to expire.
Du Qi got the message, and he was happy in his heart, and he ate more than half a meatball for dinner.
In Li's eyes, it was sour and astringent, and his heart was entangled.
*
The next day, because he was afraid that he would not be able to catch the car, but at the beginning of Mao, Du Qi came to Gui's house in disgrace.
It startled Mei's, and he was slightly relieved when he saw someone following.
Gui Chongyang saw the hundred-year-old following, although he was not surprised, but he frowned.
Today, there was an ox cart in the past, and Du Qi was already crowded, not to mention that there was a follower.
Du Qi saw that Gui Chongyang's face was wrong, and immediately flattered: "Good Chongyang, my father won't let me go if I don't bring someone, I really can't do anything, and I will be treated." ”
"Humph!" Gui Chongyang snorted lightly, what else can he say? But what should I do if I can't sit on the ox cart?
At the request of Gui Chongyang, all four people in Gui's family room were dispatched; On the second room of the Gui family, except for the second grandfather of Gui who insisted on refusing to go, the other three people also had to go; Because of his good relationship with the Zhang family, he invited Zhang and his wife to come over for a drink; The Zhang family was invited, and the Yang family, which had the closest relationship with the Gui family, naturally couldn't pull it down, and invited Yang Jinzhu and Yang Wu again.
Gui Chongyang counted people in his heart, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
How can an ox cart sit down?
Fortunately, after a while, the Yang family father and son were also in a hurry when they came over. It turned out that not only did he borrow the Zhang family's ox cart today, but Gui Chun also greeted the Yang family in advance and rented a carriage from the front yard of the Yang family for a day. Aunt Yang has chickens and ducks at home, and she can't do without people, so she let the two of them come.
Although the carriage is not from the Yang family, because the Yang family often rents this carriage to deliver tofu, they can directly get started, and there is no need to ask others to send people.
Thirteen people, divided into horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, walked for nearly an hour, and finally arrived at Xiji Town.
The three restaurants are all with the same signboard, hung with red silk, and they look magnificent all the way.
Aunt Zhang followed Gui's second grandmother, Yang's, and Mei's in one place, and praised her.
As soon as it opened, there were three shops, and with such a big stall, the Gui family was really going to be developed.
Du Qi followed Gui Chongyang, Mei Xiaoba, and Yang Wu together, and also praised: "Just look at each shop is not big, but this signboard is the same style, and it is magnificent all of a sudden." ”
Gui Wu and Jiang all came out to greet the guests, accompanied by Gui Qiu and Zhou Dingxiang.
Among the visitors, there are Gui Wu's classmates, Gui Wu's friends in the past in the business. The banquet was placed in the middle of the store, the largest shop, and everyone was beaming, waiting for the auspicious time to open.
The auspicious time is approaching.
