Xu Er hurriedly said: "Dad, I went out to entertain the people who congratulated the third brother, you ...... slowly."

Before he could say anything, he was scolded by Old Man Xu again.

Old Man Xu pointed at him with a rattan and shouted, "It's just a few groups of guests, do you need your brothers to entertain them at the same time?" Get out of the way to deal with the Liu family, let them get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Xu Er understood, his father said that he asked him to close the Liu family cloth village within half a month, but in fact, he couldn't wait for half a month, and the sooner the Liu family finished playing, the better.

"Yes, son, I'll do it." Xu Er was also afraid of his father, so he left in a hurry, and brought the shopkeepers and major stewards of the Xu family's shops to discuss how to deal with the Liu family.

After Xu Er left, the rattan in Old Man Xu's hand slapped on Xu Zhaoming's body, and he hit him thirty times before he stopped.

However, these thirty times are very watery, the first ten times are extremely hard, the lower skin is open, and the rest is to make a show, and Old Man Xu is also afraid that this golden grandson will be broken.

With a snap, Old Man Xu put the rattan heavily on the table, looked at Xu Zhaoming lying on the ground and asked, "Do you know it's wrong?" ”

Xu Zhaoming was beaten to the point that he almost fainted, but he was a strong one, gritted his teeth, and replied: "...... Grandson, know your mistakes. ”

Old Man Xu asked again, "What's wrong?" I don't believe you're so stupid? I don't even know it's being used by a fool. ”

Xu Zhaoming naturally knew that Liu Sheng was pushing him to deal with the Gu family, but he knew it but still cooperated, to put it bluntly, he looked down on Gu Jin'an, and wanted to say goodbye to Gu Jin'an and save the other party's face, but he lost completely.

Old Man Xu knows this very well, and it is because of this that he is so angry: "There are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, although you are smart, but there are more people in the world who are smarter and more capable than you." If you meet someone who is more capable than you, even if the other party is from a farmer's household, you should not look down on others. ”

"You look down on Gu Jin'an's background, do you know that his family is all nobles? It can also be seen that our Xu family looks rich and noble, but in the eyes of others, they are just rich people, rich and powerless. ”

Brother Ming looks down on the Gu family, but how can the real family and the official family look down on the Xu family?

"Compared to the background, our Xu family is just a few decades richer than the Gu family, and your great-grandfather also farmed, what do you have to look down on the Gu family."

"Don't blame grandpa for beating you today, if grandpa doesn't beat you and let you have a long memory, if you do this again in the future, you will not only lose face, but your own life!"

Old man Xu said a lot of things to Xu Zhaoming bitterly, and finally summed it up in one sentence: "Don't bully the young people to be poor, and don't rely on the rich family's strength, the poor have a day to turn over, and the rich have a time when their wealth is scattered." ”

Xu Zhaoming listened all the time, not daring to refute a word, and after listening, he bowed deeply to Old Man Xu: "Grandpa's teachings, grandson remembers...... Today is indeed the grandson's fault, and he should not do something wrong because of vanity. The grandson wanted to choose a day to go to Gu's house to apologize in person. ”

Old Man Xu was very pleased: "You are right to think so." It's not that grandpa doesn't help you, but that Gu Jinan is indeed a capable person and a very good person, such a person, you should make friends. If you make an enmity with him, you will be the one who will suffer in the future, but people are brothers and sisters with the eldest grandson of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family in Jinling, and they are not afraid of our family at all. ”

Old Man Xu knew his grandson's temper, for fear that he would think about it again, and felt that Gu Jinan was a slippery horse to make friends with the eldest grandson of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, and told him about the Lu family.

"The Gu family found out that Old Man Lu was a fugitive slave, reported to the official, and led to the fact that Old Man Lu killed a son-in-law of the Shangguan family, and the Zheng family and the eldest grandson of the Shangguan family came to our county in person, and Gu Jinan got acquainted with them."

Therefore, it was not Gu Jin'an who went to the eldest grandson of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, but the Gu family was kind to those two families, so they came and went.

Xu Zhaoming will only come back during the Chinese New Year, and he has never heard of this at all, he always thought that Gu Jin'an, a clay-legged man, could get acquainted with the noble son by relying on flattery, but he didn't expect that there would be such a reason.

Xu Zhaoming was even more ashamed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's my grandson who was blinded by lard, and he only thinks about people in the worst way, but he is unwilling to admit the ability of others." ”

Old Man Xu was also very distressed when he saw him crying, and said in a soft tone: "It's good that you know that you are wrong, and don't do it again in the future." ”

Xu Zhaoming nodded, and after answering yes, he fainted.

Old Man Xu was startled, and hurriedly called Steward Xu: "Old Shou, bring the doctor in!" ”

"Here we are." Steward Xu hurriedly rushed in with the doctor he had already invited to see Xu Zhaoming's injuries.

……

Futai Building, Gu Dashan They knew that Gu Jin'an had won the county case, and the other four people were all on the list, so they were too happy.

Gu Dalin has always been calm, but after hearing that his son and nephew were also admitted, he was stunned, and pointed at them and said, "You two were also admitted?" ”

A look of disbelief.

Gu Qingtian smiled embarrassedly: "Well, Dad, I was admitted to Brother Qingliang." ”

Gu Dalin believed that he was so happy that he laughed and said: "This time, seeing that your grandmother and your uncle still say that they don't talk about me, when the people who report the good news arrive at home, they will definitely be scared." ”

After Hu Dongjia knew that Gu Jin'an and they were all admitted, he immediately asked the guy to carry a basket of copper coins to scatter, and shouted as he sprinkled: "Futailou congratulates your distinguished guest Gu Jin'an High School and the county magistrate." ”

Passers-by asked while grabbing money: "The head of the county case is waiting for the singing list in your restaurant?" ”

Generally, restaurants or inns throw money to celebrate on the day of the list, and those who are high school people are in their own shops.

The shopkeeper of Futai Building said: "That's natural, the top five in high school today are all waiting for the singing list in our Futai Building." ”

"Eh, this is a rare blessing, your Futai Building is about to become famous." Passers-by said words of congratulations, proud of grabbing the happy money.

In the private room on the third floor, Gu Dashan's eyes were already red with excitement, looked at Gu Jin'an, and choked up: "Brother An'er......"

Gu Jinan looked at Gu Dashan and held his hand with a smile: "Dad, don't say anything, let's go home quickly, there must be a lot of congratulatory people at home, it's not good to go back late." ”

Gu Dashan: "Eh, let's hurry up." ”

A group of people, led by Hu Dongjia, left through the back door of Futai Building, but did not go home immediately, but took a detour to Jiang's house and personally reported the good news to Jiang's family.

The Jiang family was very happy, and Gu Jin'an was able to come to the door to report the good news in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Shang family and the Jiang family.

Jiang Dahu knew that the Gu family would be very busy today, so he didn't keep them long and asked them to go home quickly.

However, he revealed a message to Gu Jin'an: "Your article on agriculture Zheng County Order attaches great importance to it, in order to prove whether what you wrote is true, he will definitely recruit you to the county government in the next few days, you have to prepare everything, don't go wrong." ”

Gu Jin'an's article on agriculture says that crops are processed into grain, and grain is the foundation of the imperial court, and this policy will definitely cause a sensation as soon as it comes out.

Zheng County's order will definitely go to the government to tell the government, but before that, he must have seen the two processed foods that Gu Jinan wrote about.

Gu Jinan said: "Grandpa Jiang, rest assured, everything is prepared at home, and there will be no mistakes." ”
