Cheng Ge'er obediently picked up the ink strip, grinding the ink in the inkstone, after grinding, holding the paper in one hand and writing with the other, he was young, and it was a little difficult to hold this kind of brush with a big index finger, so the words written were worse than usual.

Mr. Xia looked at it all the way from grinding ink to pressing paper, and then to writing, and he frowned, fortunately he came, otherwise this child would have to be raised by the Gu family.

The gesture of grinding the ink is not right, the paper is pressed by hand, but the paperweight next to it is not used, the pen is still shaking, and the body shape is not good when writing, and it is not as tall as a loose and stable as a rock.

The words written are still round, without the beauty of the dragon dancing silver hook.

Mr. Xia felt that he was going crazy, and he couldn't stand it.

Brother Cheng also smiled and showed him the written words: "Brother Cheng has written, sir, please read it." ”

Mr. Xia looked at Brother Cheng'er's smiling face for a moment, and the dissatisfaction in his heart was reduced a lot, and there was still salvation, so teach it well.

Mr. Xia took the paper, looked at the words on it, and boasted, "It's a good writing." ”

Brother Cheng laughed when he heard this, turned around and winked at Gu Jin'an, grimaced at Gu Jinli, and when he looked back at Mr. Xia, he folded his hands in front of him, standing obediently, looking honest.

Gu Jinan looked at Brother Cheng like this, and sighed in his heart...... When he was in his hometown, Cheng Ge'er was always beaten and scolded by the people of the old Gu family, and he scolded him for his courage, not only did he not like to talk, but he was also very afraid of stranger contact, but now that he has left the old Gu family, and the life of the family has improved again, Cheng Ge'er has become more and more lively.

Gu Dashan looked at Mr. Xia nervously, and after Mr. Xia put down the paper, he asked, "Mr. Xia, my brother Cheng...... If you don't write well, please ask your husband to bother teaching me. ”

Mr. Xia waited for this sentence: "Brother Gu, don't worry, Brother Cheng, this kid is a smart person, as long as he teaches hard for ten years, he will be famous all over the world in the future." ”

Gu Dashan smiled shyly: "You don't have to make much difference, just let him be reasonable and sensible, and if he is admitted to a show talent in the future, he can have the ability to support his family." ”

When Mr. Xia heard this, he scolded Gu Dashan in his heart, do you think it's you? Brother Cheng must be admitted to Huiyuan, the top three in high school, and he must have the ability to be famous in order to be worthy of his identity as an heir.

Otherwise, he would be mixed with the bloodline of the Gu clan in the countryside, and he would definitely be criticized and spurned by various wealthy families.

But Mr. Xia's purpose is to accept Brother Cheng as a student, and he must have a good relationship with the Gu family, so no matter how disgusted Gu Dashan is, he must greet him with a smile: "Brother Gu, don't worry, Xia will definitely teach Brother Cheng well." ”

Gu Jinli: "Wait, what does Mr. Xia mean is that he wants to accept my brother as a student?" Does a literati madman like Mr. Xia also like to accept apprentices? ”

first hated his father, and then came to accept Brother Cheng as an apprentice, no matter how you look at it, I think it's weird.

Mr. Xia flicked the sleeves of his wide robe, pulled out a good-looking sleeve flower, turned around in a chic manner, fell back on his knees, looked at Gu Jinli and said: "Xia believes in fate, Brother Cheng, this child is in line with my eyes, and it will not be a problem to spend some time teaching him for a few years." ”

He asked with a smile: "Isn't it that the Gu family doesn't look down on Xia, and thinks that Xia is not worthy of teaching Brother Cheng?" ”

Gu Dashan was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mr. misunderstood, our family doesn't mean this." Xiaoyu has always been the fastest, and he loves Brother Cheng the most, about Brother Cheng'er, he will always ask a few more words, please don't blame Mr. ”

Gu Dashan is a farmer, he saw the old man for the first time in his life, and he was fooled by Mr. Xia for half an hour, and he regarded Mr. Xia as a god, and he couldn't wait for his children to follow Mr. Xia to study, so that he could have a good future in the future.

Gu Jinli frowned, he didn't like this Mr. Xia anymore, looked at Gu Jin'an, and asked him with his eyes.

Gu Jinan said: "Xiao Yu, don't worry, Mr. Xia is a credible person, and it is a good thing to be able to teach Brother Cheng." ”

Although he also felt that there was something wrong with Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia's love for him could not be faked, it was a kind of heartfelt desire to protect him.

He had also met Mr. Xia's wife, who was dignified and beautiful, gentle and generous, and treated him as lovingly as a parent. During the two days he lived in Xia's house, every meal he ate was made by Mrs. Xia herself.

After listening to this, Gu Jinli did not answer, but said: "Dad, studying is Cheng Ge'er's business, let's ask Cheng Ge'er about this, what if he doesn't want to leave home and come to the town to study?" ”

Cheng Ge'er, this little guy is afraid of life, and he is most afraid of leaving home to see people, as soon as her words came out, it really made Cheng Ge'er nervous.

The little guy's eyes widened in shock, and he opened his mouth and said, "Dad, can't you live at home with Mr. Xia studying?" Then I won't study, and my father won't send me to town. Sister Huiniang said that this house is haunted, and Brother Cheng should not live in a haunted house. ”

Gu Dashan hurriedly hugged him and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this house, you Sister Hui Niang lied to you." ”

Mr. Xia frowned, how could Brother Cheng, this kid rely on the Gu family so much, this is not good. He smiled and gently patted Brother Cheng'er's back and comforted: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I'm just here to study with Mr., it's just two hours a day, and I can go home in the afternoon." ”

After hearing this, Brother Cheng finally stopped crying: "Really? ”

Mr. Xia: "Naturally, it's true. ”

Cheng Ge'er smiled: "Then I'll study with Mr. Xia." ”

Brother Tongsheng in the village always came to him to play, but he didn't like the things that Brother Tongsheng played, digging mud and kneading it into a vegetable, and then roasting it with fire, and then everyone gathered around to pretend to eat a banquet, and made a very happy appearance, he didn't like to play this kind of game at all, and every time he played it, he felt so stupid.

Let's come to the town to study.

Gu Jinli saw that Brother Cheng agreed, so he could only say nothing more.

Gu Dashan was very happy, and felt that Brother Cheng would definitely be able to get famous after studying with Mr. Xia, and he didn't have to worry about it in this life, so he said goodbye to Mr. Xia and agreed to send Brother Cheng to study in a few days.

Mr. Xia sent them out of the door, and asked the subordinates of the family to carry the books given to Gu Jinan by the Zheng family and Shangguan's family on the Gu family's mule cart.

Gu Dashan was so happy when he saw five boxes full of books, he felt that his two sons had a chance, his back straightened a lot, and he drove home on a mule cart.

The news of Gu Jin'an's return home spread quickly, and Village Chief He knew that he had brought back a lot of books, so he specially pulled He Jinsheng to set it up, and this time it was not subtle, so he said directly: "Brother An, you have to help Jin Sheng, and when you go to Mr. Xia's house and Jinling Mansion in the future, take him with you...... The books given by these nobles were also lent to him to see, and the village chief and grandfather thank you. ”

Gu Jinan said with a smile: "Village chief, I am friends with Brother Jin Sheng, if he doesn't understand anything, you can come and tell me, if Mr. Xia is willing, I will take him to ask Mr. Xia." Brother Jin Sheng can read these books if he wants to, but to protect them, it is not easy to come by, so we have to love them. ”

He Jinsheng listened and hurriedly said: "Brother An, don't worry, I will take good care of it, and I won't damage a page." ”

Village Chief He was even happier when he heard this, and chatted with the third grandfather at the Gu family for a long time with a smile, and did not go home until it was dark.

When Gu Jinan came back from Jinling Mansion, he also knew Mr. Xia, who had just moved to the town, and it was really spread in the village for a day, but on the third day, he was covered by the news that Qin Erlang was going to leave the village and go to Yuchang Mansion to serve as a soldier.
