Chapter 41: Let Him Study?
"Jin Niang, why are you so angry today? In fact, I know what the second child means, and he won't really let the third child go, not to mention that the third child is not yet old. Father Gu was lying on the kang, thinking that the Lu family had made such a big fire just now, which had never been done before.
When Lu heard Daddy Gu call her Jinniang, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because this title is usually not shouted by Daddy Gu. For many years, this title has made her very unfamiliar, and it has also evoked memories of her past, and it is also an unforgettable memory.
"Humph! Would he not want the third child to go? He wished that the third child would replace him, and he wouldn't make silver before he was old? What's up? In the end, you were born, and if I beat him, you can't bear it? Gu Changqing, the second is your son, and the third is not your son? You're just leaning on the front side? After a while, Lu Shi came back to his senses and sneered, disdainfully.
"What are you talking about? I never thought of letting the third child go. The third child is still young, how can he repair the river embankment? Don't think about it. Alas! Tomorrow, I'll go to my eldest brother and see if I can borrow money. It's not easy for the eldest brother's family, his brother Hua is studying in the town, and he spends a lot every year, I heard that he reads well, and their teacher is ready to let him go next year! If he served as a conscript, his family would have to pay for the money, and he didn't know if he could borrow money. Oh, how much silver do we have left? Father Gu was still a little embarrassed when he saw the one in front of him. When I think of the silver, I feel worried, and in just a few days, the family's savings will be swept away.
"There are fifteen taels and a few hundred texts."
"Then borrow three taels from the eldest brother, leave a few hundred wen at home, and when the farm is over, ask the boss to go to the town to have a look and do a short-term job." Father Gu was also relieved when he heard that there were still fifteen taels.
"I want to ask Xiaobao to study." The Lu family's mood in the dark had calmed down, but he threw out something that shocked Father Gu.
"What? Study? Father Gu felt unbelievable and sat up from the kang. Why did the baby think of letting Xiaobao study?
"Do you think Xiaobao is like the baby in our village? Xiaobao is good-looking and smart, let him go to study, he will definitely be able to read the name hall, have you forgotten what the master said? Xiaobao will definitely be able to get ahead in the future. In the darkness, Lu's eyes burst out with a strange light.
"You also know that Xiaobao's body is thin, not like a farmer's baby at all, if he is allowed to dig in the field in the future, can he stand it?"
"But there is no money at home, and this time I paid the levy tax, and there is no money at home. Reading costs a lot, but it is not just a matter of buying a few books, you have been in a big family, you should know best. What's more, now the family relies on the eldest and second children, let them provide him with education, are they willing? The second family also has to make a fuss. Father Gu calmed down and began to analyze the possibility of this matter, in fact, he didn't have to think about it, and he knew that it was impossible.
Gu Chengyu was also a little surprised when he heard that his mother was going to let him go to study through the curtain. Wearing here, he forgot that he hadn't seen the writing of this dynasty, and he didn't know if it was traditional Chinese, if not, then wouldn't he be illiterate? If you want to do business, you must at least know how to read and write, right? I didn't expect his mother's consciousness to be high.
"Then you have to find a way, don't you want our family to have a scholar? Why is everyone afraid of him? Is it because you are afraid of him? Isn't he afraid of the power in his hands? Although his family Lin Wen has not taken the government exam, he is a scholar in the end, and he can find a guy in the town, and the monthly money for a month is not more than that of scavenging in the field? Old man, Xiaobao was born with a background, have you forgotten? Xiaobao will never be a mud leg in the future. The Lu family spared no effort to persuade Father Gu to be moved.
"Let me think about it again, the boss ...... them" Daddy Gu felt very embarrassed, they wouldn't be willing, reading is a bottomless pit, waiting for Xiaobao to come out, the boss and their baby should have been married a long time ago, and the one who should have been married, who wants to raise a younger brother younger than his own baby to study?
Xiaobao read it out, their benefits are indispensable, if you are lucky enough to be admitted to Xiucai, the family's fields are exempt from taxes, and even the tax can be exempted from a household, so that some silver is also good to make a county or master book, in short, there are many benefits, what do they disagree with? If you can be admitted to a lifting person, then you can be an official, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, can't they be glorious? Wherever you go, you can make people shout Lord. Old man, can you really bear to let Xiaobao be buried? The Lu family tried his best to draw a big cake for Daddy Gu, as if Gu Chengyu's progress was right in front of him, which made Daddy Gu's already hesitant heart even more shaken.
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised by his mother's great ambition, and it was funny that his mother's ability to fool people was not weak! Thinking about it again, too, the ancients paid attention to: everything is inferior, but reading is high. In such a dynasty, it is a great thing to have a scholar in the family. Just like the eldest grandfather, because he is the eldest son, so before the famine, the Gu family also had some small savings, and studied for a few years.
Look at the forest again, isn't it because I read a few more years of books? Isn't his family forced to back down because of the power and majesty in Lizheng's hands? Besides, in his previous life, he was very interested in ancient literature and had learned some knowledge about it, so when he thought about it, reading was indeed a good way out.
Gu Chengyu returned to the space, ready to clean up all the history books about the imperial examination in the mall, no matter if the imperial examination system of this dynasty is different from the previous life, can it always be used for reference? There are also poems and songs to be studied, but the ancients wanted to write a poem at every turn.
After sorting out a small part first, I rested and prepared to cultivate internal strength. After taking a sip of Lingquan and sleeping cross-legged on the futon in the practice room, Gu Chengyu cultivated according to the content of the cheats, and now he has to hurry up every day, at least for an hour and a half.
An hour and a half is very fast for Gu Chengyu. The internal force in the body has made significant progress, and now if you go up to Changling Mountain, it is estimated that you can kill a pheasant with the pebbles popped up by the internal force. That's right, it's such a weak chicken. Alas! It seems that it is not easy to cultivate internal strength, but he has only come in to cultivate for a while when he has time in the past few days, and it is not bad to have this progress.
I picked up an illustrated book of medicinal herbs, which contained hundreds of medicinal herbs and was also illustrated. This is convenient, just looking at the text description can not correctly understand the type of medicinal materials, after all, some medicinal materials look very similar. Compare the text with the illustrations and read them carefully
