Chapter 18: Daddy Gu's Plans

"Everyone! We don't have to pay for the room, someone has already paid for us! Gu Chengyu put down the package in his hand and said to them.

"How is this possible? Didn't we take advantage of you? "Father He does not approve of it, and when he is favored, he owes favors, and it is not easy to repay favors.

"Uncle He, don't take it to heart! There are indeed acquaintances who have paid for it. Gu Chengyu was also helpless.

Gu Chengyu sat on the ox cart home, and couldn't help but think of the Gu family. It's been ten days since he came out, and I don't know if my mother and second sister miss him.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the woods on the side of the road, and was also thinking about his mother and sisters at home. He finally lived up to their hopes, which made his originally overpowered heart feel much better.

Although this is the county examination, it is also the first step in the imperial examination. His hand touched the five taels of silver in his arms, and he didn't have a penny in this exam, he felt a little embarrassed, and he followed Gu Chengyu and them to eat and drink.

"Senior brother! The Master told us to go to the private school the day after tomorrow, so that we could rest at home for a day. Gu Chengyu also wanted to go home to rest, and the exams in the past few days were really tight.

"It's good! The house test is in April, let's go to the private school the day after tomorrow, just to catch our breath! "Sun Xian came back with the Gu family in an ox cart.

"Sun family boy, come out this time, your mother has settled down?" Daddy Gu glanced at Sun Xian, Gu Chengyu had mentioned it to Daddy Gu before, wanting to match Gu Wan and Sun Xian.

During this time, he has been observing Sun Xian, being filial to his mother, understanding how to behave in the world, and more importantly, he can have a future in the future. He is a father, and of course he hopes that his daughter will marry well. Although Sun Xian's family is poor, his ambitions are not short, and if he can give some help, he may be able to become an official in the future.

He also took a fancy to Sun Xian's qualifications, if Wan'er married him, he would make up for the dowry, and his life should not be bad. As for the Sun family's mother, although she is not in good health and often needs to take medicine, but listening to what Sun Xian said, at most, she only became ill from her previous work and lost her body, and she just raised it. In the past few days, he has thought about it for a long time and feels that Sun Xian is a good candidate.

Da Lang is old to say kiss, the eldest girl is already thirteen this year, anxious to say about the mother-in-law's family, the Zhuang family, are thirteen or fourteen years old to say kiss, but the sister-in-law and niece are about the same age, the sister-in-law does not say kiss, the niece is not in a hurry, otherwise people have to talk about it, so first for Wan'er to see each other.

"My mother and I can already get out of bed and walk around, before I came, I asked my aunt next door to take care of it!" Sun Xian was also a little worried when he talked about his mother, and after coming out for so many days, he didn't know if his mother could take care of herself.

Gu Chengyu sat on the side and listened, secretly thinking that this was his father's plan? As for Ye Zhiqiu on the side, he didn't think about it. It's not that Ye Zhiqiu is not good, it's just that Ye Zhiqiu is not very old, one year younger than Gu Wan!

And the boy has not yet grown up, and his temperament has not yet been determined, who knows what kind of temperament he will have in the future? Besides, the three daughters of the Ye family, if his second sister marries, with her temperament, she will inevitably be angry. Mother Ye raised Ye Zhiqiu, and the family had such a difficult time, and they still insisted on letting him study, which shows that Mother Ye has high hopes for Ye Zhiqiu, and even the two sisters are afraid that they want to wait for Ye Zhiqiu to become famous before marrying, Ye Zhiqiu's burden is too heavy, and he wants his second sister to live more relaxed.

"Oh! Supposedly you're not too young, aren't you? Your mother hasn't told you about family affairs yet? Father Gu looked at Sun Xian on the other side and stared at his eyes.

"In the past few years, the family had a hard time, which girl is willing to marry me? It's only been a little more relaxed in the past two years, but now that my energy is focused on exams, I ignore it. Sun Xian smiled bitterly, his family was poor before, and his mother wanted to ask the matchmaker to say goodbye, but the matchmaker didn't come to the door at all.

Mother always said that she dragged him down, if it weren't for her medicine jar, he would have married a long time ago. For this reason, once he wanted to die, and his belt was hung on the beams of the house, but he got up at night to drink water, only to find out and save him.

In the past two years, life has been good, and the matchmaker has come, but he doesn't want to say goodbye. Last time, the matchmaker told me one, but it turned out that people asked for a dowry of ten taels of silver, how could he get it? Maybe people just took a fancy to him as a bookkeeper in the town, thinking that there was a lot of money every month, so they said so.

However, he still has to study, so he naturally spends a lot, even if he makes up ten taels of silver, it is almost enough, and the family affairs are naturally yellow! Since then, he has not paid much attention to kissing.

"Your mother hasn't looked for you in the past two years? You're not too young, don't you want to say kiss? Daddy Gu's sudden courtesy made Ye Zhiqiu look at Daddy Gu several times.

"I don't want to do this for a while!" Sun Xian was a little embarrassed when he saw that Father Gu had been talking about this topic.

Father Gu wouldn't believe Sun Xian's words, whose son-in-law doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law? I just didn't see the right one! When I thought about it, I had an idea.

"It's not early today, you have to go back to settle down, you won't be home for more than ten days, I'll ask Xiaobao to invite you to play at home in two days!" There are a lot of good things in Changling Mountain next to us, let Xiaobao lead you around. ”

Gu Chengyu knew that Father Gu wanted Sun Xian to go to the house and look at each other secretly. After all, although they used to come and go often, most of them were Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian who made an appointment to go to a private school or go to Sun's house.

"Third Uncle Gu is also polite! I won't say that polite word, as long as Third Uncle Gu doesn't hate us, then I'm naturally not welcome! When Sun Xian saw Daddy Gu's invitation, he thought it was Daddy Gu's hospitality.

"When the time comes, Senior Brother Ye will also come together, and then call Wang Qikai and Senior Brother You, there will be more people and more lively!" Call more people, so that Sun Xian will not be too conspicuous.

"Then bother!" Ye Zhiqiu saw that Gu Chengyu was sincerely invited, so he was no longer polite.

"There is a good scenery on our Changling Mountain, and there is a small waterfall in Xialing Village, you can bring dry food and have a good time!" Don't young people like to go on a tour? Ha ha! Uncle Gu also interjected on the side, but he thought that Daddy Gu really invited Xiaobao's classmates and wanted Xiaobao to have more contact with his classmates.

"Yes! Uncle, you're going to call me then! At this time, Gu Wanhua heard that the Gu family planned to invite many classmates, including those with good family backgrounds, so he naturally wanted to join in the fun!

"Isn't that in our house? Just come! It's just that the niece and daughter-in-law will let you out? Don't you want to take the baby? Gu Chengyu glanced at Gu Wanhua, Gu Wanhua was married to a close relative, married to his cousin, and his mother's family was from Dayang Village.

Gu Chengyu remembered that in modern times, it is always said that when close relatives get married, the children born will be deformed or mentally retarded. But in ancient times, there were many close relatives who got married, but they were all lucky, and so far, what they have seen is normal.

Gu Wanhua's son is more than a year old and looks very cute. He also brought him a little baby's favorite thing from the county seat, a wooden toy for a chicken pecking rice, which was very exquisitely made.
