There are a lot of two families, and it is even more when they get together, and at night there are tables in the Lin family's house and in the yard, which are full of people, and the children are bouncing around to play, and there is no quiet time.

After a while, this one fell again, and the other fell again, and after crying, they stopped crying, and the adults talked and laughed, and they didn't care much, so let them have fun.

When the lively New Year of the Lin family is over, the family should be ready to leave, Lin Changqing and Huilan are the first to leave, and they have already planned to leave on the eighth day of the new year.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Changqing called Tiankuo Zikang and a few of them to come to him, and carefully instructed them, what should they pay attention to when studying, now that the conditions at home are good, there is no shortage of their books to read, they should study, and they must study to have a big way out.

The man has ambitions in all directions, and he can't be defeated by the difficulties in front of him.

Originally, it was a good point, but Zikang suddenly said, "Fifth uncle, in fact, I don't want to go to Beijing to participate in the scientific examination, I want to follow you to the south to break through." ”

When he said this, everyone was stunned, and Si Qi was also present, and he glanced at Tiankuo at this time, wanting to know why from Tiankuo.

And Tiankuo was also at a loss, obviously, he had never heard Zikang talk about it at all.

It's hard to speak at this time, so I can only listen to him quietly.

Lin Dezheng said, "Zikang, what nonsense are you talking about, you have already passed the exam, and you will participate in the Spring Festival in February, what do you mean by saying this now?" ”

Zikang said, "Grandpa, I'm not impulsive, in fact, I've been thinking about it in my heart for a long time, all the boys in our family are studying, it's good to be able to endure it, the glory of the ancestors, the ten villages and eight stores have heard of our family, I listened to people talking about the Lin family in Tongxin Village outside, and I was proud in my heart, I also want to be like the eldest brother to gain fame, be a clean official, contribute my own strength to the people, and the common people, but I also have to take care of my family." ”

"Grandpa, have you ever thought that if all of our family go to study and become officials, who should take care of these businesses in the family? Of course, you can hand it over to someone else to take care of, and you can collect a lot of money every year, but it's a pity. ”

"My son has thought of a lot of ideas for these transactions at home, but she is a girl's family, and it is inconvenient to go south and north, and the family is not worried about letting her go out."

"I know that she has been thinking about going outside to have a look, and has been thinking that if there is a chance to make the family's business bigger, then the family will be better, and she can't do it, so I, as an elder brother, can't I help her do these things?"

"Now we have a lot of business in our family, although it is not a big deal of tens of thousands of taels of silver, but after a year, the place to worry about is not young and old, my father and mother went to Fucheng to open a restaurant, and now the business is good, it must be opened in the future, if our brothers are all studying and becoming officials, who will do this?"

"Actually, I've long thought about it in my heart, I won't take the exam anymore if I get a good reputation, I don't have much interest in being an official, and it's not my task to rescue Li Min, I'm different from my eldest brother, I'm very selfish, I just want our family to live well."

"That's why I just said those words, I've been studying in the academy all these years, and I haven't seen anything in the world, the fifth uncle is a capable person, I want to follow the fifth uncle to the south to have a good time, to see how much I can promising, this is what I really want to do in my heart, there is no half-truth."

After finishing speaking, the whole room was silent, and Lin Dezheng and Wu didn't know what to say.

Lin Changyuan and Xuan's are the same, as Zikang's parents, they have never thought about what their second son thinks in his heart, he just thinks about studying, taking the test for fame, and being an official, this is the ideal of all scholars, and he is probably the same.

Just listened to his words, Xuan's was actually moved, she didn't have so much expectations for her children, whether they were rich or poor, good or bad, they were all her children, she supported whatever Zikang was willing to do, as long as she was happy.

But at this time, she didn't speak, waiting for the old couple to speak, she believed that her father-in-law was also of the same mind as her, it depended on whether the old man and the old lady could figure it out.

At this time, people still think that being an official is the most promising, and even if they make more money, they are just a businessman, and they can't be on the stage.

Siqi was moved to cry by what Zikang said just now, his second brother has always been a maverick, and no one can stop him from doing anything.

Although her grandparents haven't expressed their position at this time, she knows that in the end, she must have done it according to her second brother's idea.

Just now, Zikang said that she has always wanted to go outside and make her family's business bigger, but she didn't have that opportunity, this is really accurate, she has been thinking for a long time, it would be good if she could go far away, she also wanted to go to the south to see what kind of good things are there.

Although she also agrees with Wu's words, as long as the money is enough to spend, the important thing is that the family stays happily in one place.

But she also wants to see how much potential her family has, who doesn't want to become a century-old family? If there is that opportunity, she doesn't want to let it go.

Lin Dezheng and Wu still didn't speak, probably wondering in their hearts whether it was right for Zikang to do this.

Siqi whispered on the side, "Grandparents, since the second brother wants to do it, let him go, these transactions of our family have been done with great difficulty, thinking back to a few years ago, it was difficult for our family to even eat, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the point where it is now, who doesn't want to get better and better year by year?" ”

"Since this is what the second brother wants to do, we should support him, the examination is indeed to win glory for the family, but everyone has their own things to do, if there is no one in our family to be an official now, I believe that the second brother will definitely participate in the scientific examination for the family, but now there is already a big brother, and there will be Zilong Zijie and them in the future, the second brother made such a decision, and asked his grandparents to promise him."

Zikang looked at his little sister and was happy, sure enough, this sister was the same as what he thought, when he wanted to do something, Siqi was the first to support, and he was willing to support any decision Siqi made, even the decision to marry Tiankuo.

Lin Dezheng and Wu heard Siqi's words, and after thinking about it again, Wu turned his head and asked, "Third brother, what do you two mean?" What his son said also makes sense, if this is what Zikang really wants to do, I don't have any opinion, now I just see what you think. ”
