Chapter 17: Wait until the days are better
Gu Huanhuan thought about it, took three tomatoes and washed them, put them in cold water, added sour and spicy to start boiling sour soup.
Before breakfast was ready, Fang Shi got up.
"Huanhuan, why do you have to eat breakfast in the morning, our family doesn't have so much food to eat, and we can only eat two meals in the future."
Gu Huanhuan was not annoyed that the Fang family was lenient when he heard this, and he didn't even give breakfast to eat.
Instead, he explained with a smile, "Mother, I've heard people say that if you don't eat breakfast, you will become stupid, and Xianggong has so many brains to read books every day, so you have to eat breakfast." ”
"Then just cook it for him alone."
Fang said as a matter of course.
"Mother, do you think Guang Xianggong will eat breakfast alone? He is so filial, don't you block his heart? ”
As soon as Gu Huanhuan finished speaking, he saw that the Fang clan was in a difficult situation, whether to eat the whole family or let Shen Qingluo eat alone.
"Mother, in fact, you can't eat or wear poor, you won't be poor if you don't calculate, we have to be full before we have the strength to do other things, and now Xianggong has an income of one or two taels every month, and the family is not like in the past with only expenditure and no income, we can still afford to eat."
"But......" Fang's face was very entangled, "We have to save that silver for Qing Luo to catch the exam." ”
"Mother, the more you Qingluo is like this, the more you don't want to take the imperial examination."
"Why is that?"
Fang's face was confused, she couldn't figure it out.
The whole family is just for him, why doesn't he understand! The more she does this, the more she doesn't want to take the test, who is she for!
"Huanhuan is right."
Shen Qingluo didn't know when he stood at the door of the kitchen, his expression was a little excited, and finally someone understood his pain.
watched the whole family starve, and then he took the little money he had to eat and drink to catch the exam.
It doesn't matter if he has the luck to enter the examination room, but he is still so unlucky.
The money that had been saved with great effort was like being thrown into the water.
It's better to eat and drink it, so as not to make the family hungry.
"What's right? You are the hope of our family, if you don't take the test, we will have to suffer poverty for the rest of our lives, it is better to be poor now, and there will be a good life in the future. ”
"Mother, I'm unlucky! Without that luck, how many times have you said it before you accept your fate, I can do other things at home to keep the family fed and clothed, why bother with the road of the imperial examination? ”
"You are so good at studying, if you can take the exam, you must have already shown your talent, but if you can't take the exam, I still don't believe it, people can be unlucky for a lifetime."
Fang's tears were about to burst out of her eyes, and Gu Huanhuan hurriedly pulled her into her arms.
"Mother, I think you're right, people can't be unlucky all their lives.
The most important thing is that Xianggong didn't have the heart to take the exam, just because his family was too poor.
I'm afraid that my luck is too bad and I will waste money, you are old, and he wants to give you a good life;
Let's not worry, Xianggong is only eighteen this year, and there are still people in their fifties and sixties who take the exam!
When you have money at home, you are not afraid of spending some money, let's take the test ten times or eight times, what does it matter if you can't get in every time;
Xianggong, are you right? ”
Gu Huanhuan hinted with her eyes that Shen Qingluo was soft, but she didn't expect that Shen Qingluo's heart would be stormy, and she actually finished saying it for herself.
To be honest, if his family is rich, he doesn't mind trying a few more times.
He also doesn't believe that people can really be unlucky for a lifetime.
But his parents didn't believe what he said, so they forced him to try all the time, and he couldn't even delay it once or twice.
"Yes, Huanhuan is very right, mother, let's hold off once or twice, and when the family is a little better, I'll take the exam, okay?"
Seeing that his son finally softened his tone, the Fang clan didn't want to push it too far.
