Chapter 194: The Imperial Examination Road of the Peasant Family (21)
Sending Tang Zigui away, the people left in a carriage.
Lu Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and sent Tang Zigui away, it was already dark.
Turning around and entering the main room, his grandmother and Uncle Lu Zhan were sitting there waiting for him.
"What's going on with this Tang Gongzi, and what's going on with today's grain?"
The old lady was really anxious.
"Mother, don't worry. Let Ziqing say slowly. ”
Lu Zhan was afraid that his mother would reprimand Lu Changqing, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Grandmother, this is your bracelet."
Lu Changqing took out the bracelet from his arms and put it on the table, which was the last bit of thought in the old man's heart.
Whether it is expensive or not, in Mrs. Lu's mind, it is the last bit of her thoughts about her mother's family.
Mrs. Lu was taken aback at this moment.
She always thought that the bracelet had been taken a long time ago, but she didn't expect that the bracelet would be taken back, what kind of silver did you buy with those grains?
"This ...... Where did the money come from to buy grain? ”
This time, the old lady stared at Lu Zhan Wang, what kind of thing did her son do when he went out with his grandson? What she is most worried about is Lu Zhanwang, stupid, in case she is deceived outside.
Lu Changqing will have to gain fame in the future, once he has a stain on his body.
In the future, it will be criticized, although the old lady has no knowledge, but in the end she will follow the old man Lu.
The old man's heart is to hope that his descendants can gain fame and glory to their ancestors.
Every bit of things in life revolves around the future talent and the future official, and naturally the old lady knows some of it.
Lu Zhan hurriedly said, "Mother, we didn't do anything, this silver came above board." ”
Lu Changqing saw that the uncle was so anxious that he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he told the old lady the ins and outs of the matter.
The old lady glanced at her grandson and sighed.
She always thought that this child couldn't read a single word, but she didn't expect this child to know so many words and write such good words.
It seems that this kid is really interested in reading. It should be that when I came back from the old man on weekdays, I was haunted by it, and I practiced it in private.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have won the thirty taels of silver today.
"Alas, you kid, today your third uncle asked for the 30 taels of silver, you should have given him to settle the matter. If you are angry with him, I'm afraid your grandfather won't be able to spare you. ”
Although the old lady said that she hated her grandson a little, iron could not become steel, but in this ancient period, the father was the son and the husband was the wife, which was justified, even if she took the children to live alone, but the children are the descendants of the Lu family after all.
Old man Lu took care of it, that was justified.
As soon as I heard about today's incident, I'm afraid the old man won't give up.
The old lady was afraid that Lu Changqing would suffer.
Lu Changqing said with a smile, "Grandma, even if the old man comes, what can I do, is it possible to manage the heavens and the earth and still manage my writing?" There was a contract for this at the time. Even if it's an old man, he can't let me go against my code of conduct. Doesn't he want his children and grandchildren to take the Xiucai exam? Is it possible to have your children and grandchildren bear this dishonorable thing? ”
Lu Changqing is not afraid.
The old lady also knew that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to be afraid, so she could only use soldiers to block the water and cover the earth.
The family had an unpredictable meal.
Originally, because there were still a few months before the autumn harvest, the family had not enough food.
But today, when they saw the two stones of grain that were brought in, the children were all happy, after all, it was better to have enough to eat than anything else.
Lu Changqing handed over the bought fabrics to his aunt and asked her to make clothes for the family.
My aunt took it.
However, those fabrics were not willing to be used all, so they made a dress for the old lady, and the remaining cyan gown was made for Lu Changqing.
The rest of the fabric is actually pressed to the bottom of the box.
Lu Changqing can't help it, this is because the family is used to living a hard life, and he is reluctant to use it all.
It seems that he has to make more money.
Only by earning silver can the life of the family be better.
The problem is that it is not easy to earn money here, coupled with the original owner's wish, but he hopes to gain fame and embark on the road of the imperial examination.
For him, he finally learned modern science, but now he has to pick up ancient books and start learning.
Thanks to Lu Changqing and a light brain, otherwise he might not be able to figure out these ancient texts.
Lu Changqing really started practicing calligraphy at home.
While practicing calligraphy, I pondered how to make money.
This study is a costly errand that ordinary people can't afford.
Even with the help of the light brain, you can't even have two books in your room.
But the books in the study are only two taels of silver, which is too expensive for a family like them.
Lu Changqing was worried.
But the family really needs to live well.
Lu Dashu over there had a hard time, and he was held by Wang Xiucai.
That's thirty taels of silver.
It is impossible for him to take it out.
Lu Dashu was so angry that he finally said that he gave Wang Xiucai fifteen taels of silver, and then he was done.
But he is a guarantor, and he still owes fifteen taels of silver to the other Xiucai in the study.
Wang Xiucai is like that, it is absolutely impossible to pay it back.
I didn't see someone biting my ears there, so I must have a bad idea.
Lu Dashu is in a hurry.
Thinking of Lu Changqing, he was angry, it was all a good thing that this little rabbit cub did.
It's not a sincere way to find trouble for yourself.
The classmates in this school now avoid him at every turn, and they don't tell him anything. It was clear that everyone began to exclude him.
Secretary Lu Da hated Lu Changqing.
When he returned home, he knelt down in front of the old man.
Nothing else, he is good at suing the old man, it is absolutely leveraged.
Besides, the old man doesn't like Mrs. Lu's branch.
He added fuel and vinegar and told the old man what Lu Changqing had done.
The old man said angrily, "Go and call me that little brute, I want to see what good he can do him by ruining his uncle's reputation?" He still learns to read, and he still reads with his qualifications! That stupid look, and dare to come out and embarrass me. How did my old Lu family have such children and grandchildren? ”
The old man couldn't wait to kill Lu Changqing.
The third child of his family will take the imperial examination road in the future, and now he is a showman, and he will be examined in the future. If you want to be an official when the time comes, how can you lose this reputation?
And it's because of that Lu Changqing.
Lu Dashu nodded, that's right.
hurriedly asked Lu Ming, the nephew of the family, to run and call Lu Changqing.
Lu Ming was a little reluctant, and it took an hour from the county seat to the village.
Why let him go?
Isn't it enough to send a little servant at home, it's not a shame for yourself.
Lu Ming asked people to hire an ox cart, but the carriage was too expensive, and he didn't have that silver to waste.
Even the ox cart was hired with gritted teeth.
came to Lu Changqing's house.
