Steward Zhou said: "Zhou thought about it for a night last night, and felt that the request made with Little Brother Xiao was too much. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual, whether my son-in-law can be promoted depends mainly on his own creation, but our heart to ask Xiao Xiao's advice is real! My lord said that as long as Xiao Xiaogongzi is willing to go to the provincial capital, everything else is negotiable! ”

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "In other words, if you can't pass the test, it's not bad for us?" ”

Steward Zhou hurriedly said: "It's not bad, it's not bad! ”

Gu Jiao: "Silver? ”

Steward Zhou: "Give it to you!" If you go to the provincial capital, you will give it! Never break your word! ”

Gu Jiao said, "You can go and talk to me directly." ”

Steward Zhou was at a loss and said, "Why didn't you go?" But Little Brother Xiao doesn't want to deal with us anymore! I also hope that Xiao Niangzi will sell a certain favor in Zhou, you will take this silver first, and it will be yours if it is successful! ”

Gu Jiao took the brocade box handed over by his hands, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if the silver is not silver, the main thing is that I want you to do this." ”

Steward Zhou: "......"

Can you not talk about greed for money so freshly and refinedly?

Steward Zhou thanked him for his kindness, and Gu Jiao repeatedly emphasized that he only spoke and should not be a lobbyist.

Steward Zhou smiled: "This is natural!" It's nature! ”

Gu Jiao returned to the village with the silver and the small clearance.

She counted it, and it was five hundred taels in all.

That's a lot of money.

After Xiao Liulang got out of school that night, Gu Jiao told him about seeing Steward Zhou during the day, without hiding a word or adding any fuel and vinegar.

Xiao Liulang frowned when he heard this, of course he didn't complain that Gu Jiao went to see Steward Zhou, but he didn't expect Steward Zhou to find his own home.

He said: "If someone comes to the door in the future, don't leave with someone else. The manager Zhou I met this time is not a difficult person, but in case ......"

Gu Jiao looked at him with a smile: "You seem to be worried about something, will someone still come to look for you?" ”

Xiao Liulang opened his mouth, stopped talking, and said after a while: "I just asked you to be careful in everything." ”

"Got it." Gu Jiao Wan'er, then looked at the box of silver on the table and said, "What are you going to do about the Lin family?" ”

Xiao Liulang knows the situation of the Lin family, and it is the same as what Steward Zhou said, if there is no one in the family who can be an official, there will be no one who can protect the Lin family in thirty years.

Of course, the Lin family can buy officials, but the officials they bought are not big enough, and no one dares to sell the officials to the Lin family, so the road of the imperial examination is indeed the only way out for the Lin family at present.

I heard that in order to have a few more useful sons, the old man of the Lin family is about to make himself a little breeding pig.

Xiao Liulang pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't force the result, it doesn't hurt to go on a trip." ”

After all, it's two thousand taels of silver.

Gu Jiao also felt that it was feasible, the provincial capital was farther away than the prefecture city, and if it was the township test, it would have to leave more than a month in advance, and it was hard to say whether he could find a suitable place to settle down after arriving there.

If you live in the Lin Mansion, it is naturally much more convenient.

And the earlier you go, the sooner you can adapt to the water and soil, and you can also wait for work.

Gu Jiao asked, "Will it delay your own homework?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "No." ”

Gu Jiao remembered that the dean said that Xiao Liulang was an extremely smart person, but he was just unwilling to go to Beijing to catch the exam, and it was not necessarily a bad thing to let him walk around.

Gu Jiao nodded: "Then it's decided." ”

Xiao Liulang: "Hmm. ”

I thought that the matter of going to the Lin family was finalized like this, but that night, Gu Jiao had a dream.

She dreamed that Xiao Liulang agreed to Steward Zhou and went to the provincial capital under the escort of Steward Zhou and the guards of the Lin family.

The Lin family is indeed sincere in seeking advice, and they don't plan to play any tricks, this time it is reasonable to say that it is foolproof, but people are not as good as the sky, and only halfway to Xiao Liulang and his party caught up with a heavy rainstorm that was rare in ten years.

The post station where Xiao Liulang lived was flooded, and the group was scattered by the flood, Xiao Liulang hugged a piece of driftwood, his life was saved, but he was seriously ill, and when he was found by Zhou Steward and others and brought back to the Lin family, he had already shed a layer of skin.

Fortunately, they set off early, even if they were delayed for so long, there were still two months before the township test.

Xiao Liulang was recuperating in the Lin family, and at the same time tutoring Lin Liugongzi's homework.

Lin Liugongzi is a person of good character, his head is not extremely smart, but he is better than diligence and perseverance, and Xiao Liulang gets along with him quite well.

It's just that when the township test was approaching, a big event happened: a cousin of the Lin family came to live in the Lin Mansion, and he was the maiden niece of the Lin family's housemother.

The cousin fell in love with Xiao Liulang at first sight.

Xiao Liulang is still lame, which makes people look at it, which shows how bad this man looks like.

It's just that she is a girl with a head and a face, and she can't do anything like recommending a pillow as soon as she comes up, and it happens that Lin Liugongzi is infected with a cold.

Miss Biao thought about it and lobbied her aunt: "My cousin probably won't be able to pass the exam like this, so it's better to let Xiao Liulang take the exam instead of my cousin, my cousin writes his name, and he writes my cousin's name." In this way, the odds are better than that of my cousin's own victory. ”

Miss Biao said to her aunt that as a thank you, she was willing to be Xiao Liulang's concubine.

Mrs. Lin is from the past, what can't she see? It's just that these words do speak to my heart.

Although the sixth son was not born to her, it was related to the future of the entire Lin family, so Mrs. Lin agreed.

Xiao Liulang sternly refused, and also reprimanded the two.

Mrs. Lin has the attitude of giving it a try, and if it doesn't work, forget it.

However, that Miss Biao was a ruthless character, and she actually drugged Xiao Liulang in a fit of rage!

In all fairness, the appearance of that Miss Biao is not bad, and it can even be said that she is as beautiful as a flower, but even so, Xiao Liulang also defeated the medicinal properties of the aphrodisiac with his strong willpower.

But he also fell ill from then on.

When I woke up, I was squeamish!

What kind of messy Miss Cousin actually hit Xiao Liulang's head with a bad idea? And used such a despicable method to harm him and the blessing of the rest of his life!

And that's not all he can do!

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

It seems that this Lin Mansion is hard to go.

That Miss Biao was a frequent visitor to the Lin Mansion, and as long as Xiao Liulang lived in it, no matter how careful she was, she would definitely meet her.

The sky was slightly bright, Gu Yan and the old lady were still sleeping in their respective rooms, and Gu Jiao was sitting in the hall and having breakfast with Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong.

Xiao Qingkong ate first, and then went back to Westinghouse to pack his book bag.

Gu Jiao took a sip of porridge and hesitated how to speak to him.

He got up early in the morning and packed his luggage, Gu Jiao looked at the two burdens on the chair, his eyes were delicate.

"That ......," she said calmly, "I've thought about the Lin family's affairs for a while, do you want to rethink it?" ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Liulang looked at her puzzled.

Gu Jiao said: "You have been gone for so long, what should you do at home?" ”

Xiao Liulang was stunned: "We don't farm at home. ”

Gu Jiao continued to be serious: "It's not farming, but there are old and young, and it's very hard for me to take care of it alone!" Occasionally I still need to go up the mountain! ”

Xiao Liulang was confused, he didn't seem to be helping much at home, he didn't do much work at all, mainly because she rushed to finish it. It stands to reason that she is more relaxed when he is not at home......

Gu Jiao: "I can't always trouble Xue Ningxiang!" ”

Xiao Liulang: "Then or ...... Ask for a maid? ”

The family can afford to hire a maid now, he is a man, and it is not convenient to be under one roof, but if he is not there, there is no such thing as avoiding suspicion.

Gu Jiao: "I'm not used to strangers living in the house. ”

This still couldn't convince Xiao Liulang, after all, she was the first to show her willingness to go to the provincial capital yesterday.

Gu Jiao also understood, so she took another dose of fierce medicine: "And I heard Gu Yan say that the Lin family has a lot of beautiful daughters, who knows if you will mess with flowers and grass when you go over there, and find a few younger sisters for me to come back." ”

Gu Yan is the son of the Hou Mansion, he is well-informed, and it is not surprising that he has heard about the Lin family.

And Xiao Liulang wouldn't go to Gu Yan to verify whether he had instilled any strange thoughts into his sister.

Xiao Liulang looked at Gu Jiao deeply: "So you're jealous?" ”

Gu Jiao: Can I say no?

Xiao Liulang scooped a spoonful of millet porridge: "I know, I'm not going." ”

No way? So easy to talk to?

Gu Jiao glanced at him with a small look: "I actually just mentioned it casually, the decision is up to you...... What about two thousand taels of silver, don't you really feel pain? ”

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "It seems that you are more painful." ”

Gu Jiao sneered: "Is this, so obvious?" ”

Then she said with a straight face: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the silver is not silver, the main thing is to save a young man who is angry and hardworking." Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. ”

If you don't go to the Lin family anymore, how can you earn this money?

Xiao Liulang glanced at her, pretending to be nothing, but he was afraid that he didn't know that his little mouth was already pouting, and he could hang a pot of oil.

Xiao Liulang went to the town with Xiao Jingkong, he first sent Xiao Jingkong to a private school, and then went to Tianxiang Academy.

Steward Zhou has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Liulang, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "How did Xiao Xiucai think about it?" ”

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "I can teach your son-in-law, but I have one condition." ”

Steward Zhou was overjoyed: "Don't say a condition!" Ten can be done! ”

Xiao Liulang said: "I won't go to the provincial city, if your son-in-law really asks for advice, let him come here, I will arrange for him to enter the academy and be in the same class and table with me." ”

Steward Zhou opened his mouth: "Ah...... This...... How about I add some silver? ”

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "It's useless for you to add gold, I will teach people when they come, and if you can't come, please ask for another master." ”
