Chapter 69

Zhou didn't care what Lin thought, anyway, she had been asking about Gu Siyan's news everywhere since then. Hejia Village and Jiangjia Village are not far apart, even if she is an old arm and legs, she can still run.

The Gu family is too flamboyant, it has always been a legend of Hejia Village, the Zhou family has heard a few ears before, but they didn't take it to heart, thinking that the Gu family has money and has to go to their few villages that are not rich to live, it can be seen that they are in trouble. In those years, there was a great chaos in the capital, and many dignitaries and nobles were sentenced, and many high-ranking officials and nobles who had been convicted secretly ran away, and were scattered when they met the homeless.

Although Zhou doesn't care about national affairs, he can hear some of them. She remembered that not long after that, the Pei family and the Gu family arrived in their Songyue County.

Pei's appearance is outstanding, he talks elegantly, and he is literate, and he looks like he is from a big family, but he doesn't mention his mother's family, and he refuses to reveal a word even if Zhou makes things difficult, which has become a thorn in Zhou's heart.

In Zhou's view, the Pei family is either the daughter of a criminal minister, or a concubine who has fled from a large family, no matter which identity it is, it is a scourge to their Jiang family. She was in a hurry to drive Pei away, she said all the ugly things she said, and she did all the ugly things, but Pei was indifferent, as emotionless as wood, until Jiang Xuehe was born, a smile appeared on her face.

When Jiang Xuehe was born, the second room had already made a little money, and the Zhou family felt that the unknown origin of the Pei family would cause them trouble, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but use the money earned in the second room. The more contradictory she is, the more she looks at Pei's unpleasant, so she doesn't like to deal with Pei's children.

Originally, I planned to ignore it for the rest of my life, but who would have thought that the two people in the second room would suddenly pass away, leaving behind a lot of family wealth and a few children. The Zhou family had the intention to help the big house plot the family property in the second room, but he didn't think that he would really let the children in the second room be down, but Jiang Xuehe's temperament and brain all followed her mother, Pei's family, so that she was troubled, and she couldn't wait to send it out early, so as not to go against her everywhere.

But who would have thought that Jiang Xuehe would still be able to go against her if she was sent out?

If you do it right, you will do it right, although the Zhou family is a little dissatisfied, but the money was originally the second room, and it is naturally good to get the big house, and if you don't get it, you won't suffer a loss, in short, it is their Jiang family's money in the end. The Zhou family was originally impressed by Lin's words, and wanted to make up his mind again, but was persuaded back by Jiang Xuehe's words.

Everyone in the family knows how much the Zhou family wants to change the court, when Jiang's father was seriously ill, he went to the hospital, because a man who was also seriously ill, he occupied the entire hospital, and the people in the hospital were not allowed to treat others. He is a lifter, he has privileges, and the people in the medical hall dare not offend, Zhou knelt at the door of the medical hall and begged for a few hours, until Daddy Jiang lost his breath, and he couldn't let the people in the medical hall come out to see Daddy Jiang.

From that time on, Zhou Shi understood that people are really different from each other, and if she wants to live a good life, she must step on the heads of others and be a master, otherwise she will only experience such a helpless thing again. It was also from that time that Zhou's heart was completely biased.

She felt that Jiang Dashan was the smartest of her three sons, and she spent most of the family's savings to marry Jiang Dashan to the Lin family, who she thought was smart, and then sent Jiang Ershan and Jiang Sanshan out at will. She felt that Jiang Ershan and Jiang Sanshan were not very smart but diligent and capable, and although the little things she gave were few, they were enough for themselves and would not starve to death. And her smart eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are trying to give her a smart grandson. She wants to use all the money in the family to train the smartest grandson in the big house, so that he can get ahead and be admitted to the examination in the future.

Several children in the big house have actually gone to school, and they are all a little smart, in Zhou's opinion, they are smarter than Jiang Qingfeng in the third room anyway, but Jiang Qingmu and Jiang Qinglin don't like to go to school after two years of study, only Jiang Qingsen and Jiang Qingmao persevered.

Zhou originally thought that these two children should be the most promising of their Jiang family, although she felt that Jiang Xuehe was smarter than all her grandsons, but she was a woman, no matter how smart she was, she couldn't take the imperial examination, and it was useless. Even if Jiang Xuehe marries a good family in the future, with her temperament, will she really be able to subsidize the big house in the future?

Zhou has always felt that she has thought very thoroughly, Jiang Xuehe can't count on it, what she should really count on is the two grandsons in Dafang.

However, the talent of the two grandsons in the second room frightened her, if Gu Wulang seemed to be really capable and willing to give advice, then the second room was the most promising room of their Jiang family!

Zhou walked in Hejia Village for a day, and then inquired about the Gu family's affairs. The Gu family is very similar to the Pei family, no one knows where they came from, only that they brought a lot of money with them when they came, and they also made all kinds of big money when they arrived in Hejia Village. I heard that the original wife of the Gu family is very beautiful, and her one-handed embroidery work is incomparable, and she is also very knowledgeable, and her export is much better than those scholars who drop their bookbags.

But the affairs of the Gu family are very chaotic, especially after the death of the original wife, the concubine is on the throne, and the original spouse treats the children harshly, and the master is a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about everything. When the shopkeeper went, the original children were almost tortured to death by the concubine.

Of course, none of this was important to Zhou, and she didn't care at all. Although she was surprised by Lin's ruthlessness for a while when she first inquired clearly, in fact, when she agreed to this marriage, she actually knew in her heart that this marriage was definitely not as good as Lin said, and she deliberately did not study it deeply. Since she pretended to be stupid at the beginning, she can only continue to pretend to be stupid to the end, and some things can't be said, otherwise Jiang Xuehe will not give her face again.

Especially now that she knows, it turns out that Gu Siyan is really talented, he has been a prodigy in the village since he was a child, he was admitted to the best academy in the county at the age of six, and became the first teenager in the county to be admitted to the child's life, and when he was fifteen years old, he was ready to take the Xiucai exam, but he died just in time for Gu Jiaxing. Everyone said that if Gu Jiaxing hadn't died back then, or had died a little later, then Gu Siyan would definitely have been a talent. This was not passed on by anyone else, but by the dean of the academy himself!

When she was fifteen years old, she was already preparing to take the Xiucai exam, and her most valued grandson Jiang Qingsen is also fifteen this year, but he has not yet been admitted to the Tongsheng examination, and he can't even pass the county academy.

Looking at Gu Siyan's younger brother Gu Sixing, I heard that he is now also studying at the Zhiwei Academy in the county.

Zhou originally saw that most of the people in the village couldn't even get into the school in the town, and thought that it was great for her two grandchildren to go to school in the town, so they didn't take this to heart. But later she realized that there was really a big difference between the academy in the town and the county.

The private school in the village was set up by several of them in the village, and there were only a few gentlemen who had learned to read but were not admitted to the children's examination. And in the academy in the town, the gentlemen in it are basically children, just a showman. But the academies in the county are different, the gentlemen of the Wenbo Academy and the Zhiwei Academy in the county are basically talented, and each has a lifter, so the rich people in the county are trying to stuff their children into those two academies.

Zhou didn't understand what this meant, but later someone mentioned to her, how can you teach people to take the children's exam? If you can't get into Xiucai, how can you teach people to take Xiucai? Zhou was convinced after hearing this.

Now it is too difficult for Jiang Qingsen and Jiang Qingmao to be admitted to the county academy with their own skills, and she has no hope for the time being if they want to be admitted to Tongsheng. But if Gu Siyan really has the level of talent, then wouldn't it be the same for her to let Gu Siyan guide the two of them?

After the Zhou family inquired, he ran back to the Lin family and told her about it, asking her to prepare a good gift, and then walk around with the Gu family more, and when Jiang Xuehe took her two younger brothers to the Gu family, let her plug Jiang Qingsen and Jiang Qingmao by the way.

The Lin family was angry when she heard this, what did it mean to bring her two sons by the way? Her two sons were admitted to the best academy in town at a young age, isn't that enough? How many children in the village can't pass the test!

That Gu Wulang was indeed admitted to Tongsheng at a young age, but he is still not a showman, why do you think he has the ability to show talent? Besides, that guy is just a sick man, and it's still a question of how long he will live!

In the Lin family's opinion, Jiang Xuehe is just temporarily lucky, but Jiang Xuehe can't always be lucky, then Gu Wulang is obviously a natural unlucky guy, if they have more dealings with the Gu family in a big house, maybe they will be unlucky, let's let Jiang Xuehe be unlucky!

Zhou saw that Lin didn't listen to her words, so he didn't say anything more. In her opinion, she had reminded enough. Besides, although she believes that Gu Wulang is really talented, it is indeed a question of how long Gu Wulang can live, so let's wait for next year to see. If Jiang Qingzhu and Jiang Qingliu can really be admitted to the county school under the guidance of Gu Siyan by this time next year, then she will find a way to send the two grandsons of Dafang over!

It doesn't matter if you really can't send it over, in short, you can just keep a little more second room in the future, and you must not let the two most talented grandsons of their Jiang family be buried.

After that, Lin didn't hear Zhou's old story revisited for several days, so she thought that Zhou was just a whim, so she also left this matter behind. Where could the Lin family think that she was just a momentary negligence, and Zhou's heart began to slowly drift to the second room.

Jiang Xuehe didn't know this at first, but she felt that the Zhou family had been a lot more polite to her recently, and even if she was going to take her two younger brothers to the Gu family, the Zhou family was no longer straight-faced, and asked her to take her two younger brothers to live in the Gu family for a few more days.

Looking at Zhou's eager eyes, Jiang Xuehe suddenly understood, and then thought of how her grandfather died back then, Jiang Xuehe couldn't help but feel a little sour. But so what, even if Zhou has changed his attitude towards her now, didn't he still disdain it at the beginning? Aren't you still helping the big house to plot the property of their second room?

If it is because Xiaozhu Xiaoliu can study that it is good for their second room, then this good is inevitably too utilitarian, and she is not rare.
