Xu Cheng sat on the chair silently.

The face is light and breezy.

No matter how reluctant he is, he can see that the second brother is going to be desperate.

"The third, don't worry, the big deal in the future is that the days are tighter, you can rest assured, the shop is still there, even if it is rented out, there are fifteen taels of silver a year, our shop is in a good location, and we can't afford to lose."

Coupled with the seven acres of mulberry fields, this year, we chewed enough to designate it.

There is also the filial piety of your eldest brother and second brother, you read your books, compete for some energy, and next year you will come out with a show of what you say, so that your second brother can look at it with a blind eye. ”

The old lady looked at the third son and kept comforting.

The old couple are all in the same heart, and they are good to their old son.

The plan is indeed very good.

Just like this, there are more than 20 taels of silver, and it is not a problem for the third child to study and marry a wife.

Xu Cheng was still depressed in his heart, and the expenses of his year-old study and meeting with friends were forty taels, not counting the old lady who subsidized some private rooms for him from time to time.

Now it's half all at once.

There is also the idea that the eldest brother and the second brother look down on him, when he thinks of the second brother's face today, don't look at the eldest brother who didn't say anything unpleasant.

But how could he not know.

The smiling eldest brother is probably a smiling tiger.

I don't know how to blame him.

"Mother, I'm going back to private school, and next year the child will definitely be able to pass the Xiucai exam."

The old lady softened her heart all of a sudden, how could her child not know that she was angry with the eldest and second child today.

Reaching out to get the key to the box, he was going to get the silver for their Xiucai.

At this time, the old mother was left with love and pity for her son.

It seems that only silver can calm his son's shame.

I don't want to think about whether I made my son irresponsible by doing this.

Don't even think about it, Xu Cheng hasn't passed the exam all these years, is there a big problem with himself.

Maybe get used to solving problems this way.

Xu Cheng's eyes were slightly happy, his mother still hasn't changed, and he is the one who hurts the most.

"Third child, don't rush back, I'll have a few words with you."

The old man spoke in a deep voice.

The old lady has always taken the old man as the main backbone, so naturally she stopped and looked at the old man.

Xu Cheng sat opposite the old man.

The father and son seemed to have a somewhat stagnant atmosphere.

"Daddy! Don't you have something to say? ”

Xu Cheng was a little dissatisfied, he actually made an appointment with a few people who wanted to meet the son of a scholar and politician, and this Xu Gongzi sounded like he was from the same clan.

I just don't know if I can talk.

He also knew in his heart that he was not the material for reading.

It's not easy to get to where you are now.

If you can spend money to climb a nobleman, find a master by yourself, or clerical things, you can be regarded as an official and a half-job, and you can still eat and wear without worry, and your face is even brighter.

This is Xu Cheng's mind.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about this, and if he couldn't say it, it wouldn't be a slap in the face.

"The third child, look at it for yourself for so many years, the family has run out of oil to study for you, and today you have seen it, and your two brothers also have resentment in their hearts, so they have today's separation.

Our family has now been separated, and my father and mother are also old, and they can't stand the toss anymore.

Catch up with Ming'er, I will ask your mother to find a matchmaker for you, your family affairs can not be delayed any longer, while my mother and I can still help you, hurry up and marry a wife and have children, and support a good livelihood, and save us from worrying about you when we are old. ”

These words can be described as the heartfelt words of the old man after learning from the pain.

Xu Cheng's face darkened.

"Dad, you don't believe your son can go to high school?"

Without the support of the old man and the old lady, he would have gone home to be a shopkeeper, and he couldn't do the work of silk reeling, let alone wanted to do it.

Work without suffering! Their family doesn't have that kind of background.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that my family can't afford it. You should also think about it for the family, your mother has been sick for a while, and her body has become a little weaker, and she has to take medicine to raise her.

You've also seen it at home, can I still do silk reeling? Counting on your two brothers, I'm afraid you don't think about it.

If you don't hurry up and find a living, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I'll lose my mother, and you'll have to beg for food in the future. ”

"Dad, after all, my brother thinks I can't pass the exam, and you think so now. Anyway, you just can't look down on me! ”

Xu Cheng broke out for the first time.

I was pressed for a long time in my heart.

"What are you shouting? Reason is not loud. Do you want the neighborhood to know what is going on in our family? Or do you want others to see our jokes? ”

The old man is on fire.

I used to think that the third child was sensible, and he was the seed to win glory for the family and glorify the ancestors.

But now, look at it, this will realize that the third child has been crooked.

The heart of the raised is arrogant, but I don't want to think about it, you didn't reincarnate well.

The body of the young lady, the life of the maid.

What kind of family are they?

Now that he can have everything today, it is not that he and his mother forced the eldest and second child to confess.

People are picking on children now, and the old man and the old lady can't afford it.

If Xu Cheng recognizes the reality, then he should be obedient.

"Dad, I've been doing it for so many years, and I know that my family has done so much for me. I beg you for the last time, after the scientific examination next year, if I haven't won the show, then I won't say a word, come back to marry a wife and have children, and live an honest life.

Do you think so? ”

Xu Cheng was unwilling.

I have been mediocre all my life, and I am not willing to die.

The old man sighed.

How can it be.

This is his son.

The most fancy son.

What else.

"Alright! This year and a half, your mother and I can still support, but the matter of marrying a wife and having children can not be delayed, let your mother give you a few days to get up, do not delay your study, recently you don't go to meet friends to chant poetry or something, you also know the situation at home, study at home with peace of mind. ”

The old man gave the order.

The old lady stopped talking.

Their old man has the final say.

As long as the old man makes a decision, she can't say anything.

Dare to mess around, the old man has a way to clean you up.

The old lady didn't make that awkward mess with the old man.

She knew it.

All I can count on is the old man.

Xu Cheng's heart sank.

"Dad, it's okay if I don't go to school, I learn the same at home, at most I don't have the guidance of the teacher.

But I just want to beg you, the brother-in-law of the Lu family has left some books, which are all good things in the capital, and I think that those can be used for reference, it is better than me reading hard. "Xu Cheng doesn't give up.

Lu Jian'an definitely didn't tell the truth.

Lu Han treated those books as if they were treasures, how could he throw them away casually.

Besides, bandits can't read those books.

and they cannot exchange it for silver.

"Does it really work?"

The old man was moved, after all, the Lu family has produced a lot of jinshi, and there are two scholars.

These are the undertones.

Maybe there's something to help with.

can always give Xu Cheng a glimmer of hope, and they will do it too.
