He is looking forward to the ability of his two grandsons, who can compare the children in the second family, and the second family only has Tiankuo to study, the child is very good at reading, and now he is admitted to the county school, and he will go to study next year.

If you study hard, you will be able to participate in the scientific examination in a few years, and if you have a reputation in one fell swoop, won't you be able to do it as an official? At that time, what will he compare with the second child, and he will only have these two grandchildren.

The only thing that comforted him was that Tianyou didn't study, and Gu Pingzhang's family only had one scholar, and the child was not his own.

If Tiankuo can bear it in the future, he can make this matter public, and it will be the second family who will lose face at that time.

Now he doesn't say it, mainly because the old man is still there, when he picked up Tiankuo, Gu Kaiming repeatedly said that no one in this family can tell Tiankuo's life experience, otherwise he will be removed from the family tree.

Tiankuo's life experience is a secret, the Zhu family did give birth to a child, but just after birth, he was breathless, and it happened that on the same day, the old man brought back a child from outside, and he was abandoned on the side of the road, so he was replaced, and no one except the Gu family knew about it.

At that time, Gu Pingyong also wanted this child, because there were few children on his side, there was no Tianyang at that time, and he didn't have any grandchildren, so he was anxious.

But the old man still gave the child to Gu Zelin and became Gu Zelin's son, and at that time his hatred for Gu Pingzhang's family was even deeper.

This secret has been hidden for so many years, and Gu Pingyong has no intention of using a child to suppress Gu Pingzhang, and now he is forced to have no choice, as long as it is unfavorable to Gu Pingzhang, he can use it.

Tiankuo he actually doesn't care so much, he can endure it, he is not a child of the Gu family, the most important thing is Tianyou, if Tianyou also goes to study and is soon admitted to the county school, then he will be angry.

His own two grandsons must not be badly raised, otherwise he will have no capital to fight with the second child.

"You two must study for me, study hard, and go to the exam in two years, and strive to be admitted to the county school, if the two of you have a reputation, I see who will dare to look down on us in the future, you are my Gu Pingyong's grandson, you can't be so unproductive."

Yang listened to these words on the side, and was very unhappy, so he couldn't help but say, "Dad, these two children are smart, and Mr. Xuetang also said that they are good, where is there no future?" You can't say that, how uncomfortable it is for a child to listen to it. ”

Gu Pingyong looked at her and said, "If you want to be promising, then study hard, you, a mother, also have to teach your children well, our Gu family's descendants can't be bad." ”

Yang muttered in a low voice, "I think my two sons are good, smart and sensible." ”

Now that the house has been repaired, she can't completely stop playing furniture, and she took a lot of silver out, Yun's is distressed, she used to cry poor at home, just to let the family save some, the silver has to be put away, who knows when it will be used, but now it's good, let her say it accurately, and use up the family money this year.

The money in the family is in her hands, and after all the money is done, there is really not much left, a few taels of broken silver, and then there is the New Year, and it is time to spend money.

After the New Year, I have to send two children to study in the school, and the tuition fees add up to a lot of silver, so I really don't know what to do.

After moving back to live at home, the Yun family sighed every day, thinking about how to live with all this money.

Gu Pingyong said, "What are you afraid of, the grain in our warehouse hasn't been sold yet, this year was a disaster, the imperial court was exempted from taxes, and this can sell a lot more silver, find a day to pull the grain to the town to sell." ”

After a catastrophe, the imperial court generally has to reduce taxes for three years, otherwise the life of the common people will really not be able to go on, that is, Gu Pingyong's family has less people and more land to sell surplus grain, and most people are only enough for their own family to eat, if the year is not good, the food produced is not enough.

Now he can only sell grain, and Yun Shi is a little worried, "Isn't it bad to sell grain at this time?" Last year, our family sold a lot, if we sell more this year, what will we eat next year and the year after? In case the year is not good, the family drinks the northwest wind? ”

If there is a reduction in grain production, it will not be cheap to buy back.

Gu Pingyong said, "How can there be such an evil thing, and it can still suffer disasters every year?" Now the days can't go on, let's talk about it first, and then let's keep enough rations for next year, and now the days are tight, but we will be able to ease up soon, and then we will be the largest household in the village. ”

For farmers, if there is land at home, he is the boss, and he Gu Pingyong's land is the most in the village, so he is not afraid of this.

Yun said, "But it really made the Lin family pick up the cheap, they bought the weir pond before, they raised fish in it, you see, the second child of the Lin family fished in the weir pond the next day, I heard that it was taken to the town to sell to the restaurant, people have a daily income, the Lin family children are also capable, and they don't want to play crazy everywhere every day, so they go to the mountains to herd sheep, and sell them once a few months, which is also a lot of silver." ”

Speaking of this, she whispered to Gu Pingyong, "Old man, according to me, let the two children stay at home for two years first, the two of them don't like to study, after the disaster, Mr. may not teach well, our family is not having a good time, otherwise it is the same as the Lin family, buy some sheep back, let the two of them rush to the mountains to graze, they can always sell for some money, right?" ”

Gu Pingyong said, "No, these are small family things, what does it look like when they are passed out, what is the big deal with the cowherd?" ”

Yun Shi was a little moved, "You just want to die to save face and suffer crimes, your family is like this, and you are still worried about your face, isn't it better to have money than anything else?" You just say that this life can't be passed, if it goes on like this, the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and then they will be able to look up to you? ”

Her words were still somewhat useful, and Gu Pingyong collapsed all of a sudden, "Okay, okay, I don't have anything to say if the two of them are willing, let's help the family first." ”

Two days later, Gu Zeshun went to the town to sell grain, Gu Pingyong was afraid of being embarrassed, and let him avoid people, every household in the village did not sell grain, but their family moved this idea, shameful.

Gu Pingyong had a really hard time after returning to the village, and he had to worry about his own family's affairs, and he had to deal with Gu Chao and Gu Zeliang's family.
