Chapter 42: Old Man Xu's Good Intentions
"Mother! Don't say anything else! Now our situation does not allow us to think about anything else, I just want to pick up the burden of the family, raise my sister to adulthood, and have some solid family background! Our family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, and if we carry forward the Lu family, I will be satisfied, you just wait to be a rich old lady, we don't want to do anything else, and we shouldn't think about it! ”
Lu Jian'an now doubts whether Lu Jian'an was forced by his own mother in his previous life to finally reborn and went to take the imperial examination! really went on an official career.
The problem is that the official career is so easy to walk, Lu Jian'an's reborn people are also bumpy, there is no family protection, there is no solid family background, and there is no connections, a poor scholar wants to rise from a poor family, it is a very small number of people, most of them are not only talented, but also have a background background, otherwise it is in vain.
What's more, she also has a secret that is different from everyone else, it is a secret that will die if it is revealed, so her way of taking the imperial examination is tantamount to looking for death.
His mother doesn't know why she said this, could it be that the Lu family has to show off talents?
But that's really Lu Jian'an.
It's not that Xu doesn't know that she is Lu Xuejian, not Lu Jian'an.
And why?
Xu lowered his head, "It's my mother who wants to be crooked, I only remember your father's wishes, but I forgot that you are ...... Mother understands, mother will live a good life, I just hope that we can live a good life, An'er, mother knows that you are embarrassed. ”
How could she not understand! Now in their situation, it is not easy to live a life, not to mention that they really have to ask Lu Jian'an to go to school.
How difficult it is for a person to go to school, she doesn't know that her master has been just a talent for so many years, and he spends a lot of money every year! But I didn't see the old man being admitted to the exam.
That step was too difficult.
It's not easy for this kid to have such a big deal now.
"Mother, don't worry, we are much better now, I will be filial to my mother and take care of my little sister in the future, don't worry about it."
The only good thing about this mother is that you don't have to worry about it.
"Good! My mother thought that she should not buy good land at all, but buy mulberry fields, and she could have more income, it is too difficult for the family to rely on you alone, so at least it will be lighter. Xu just thinks that Fengshan County relies on raising silkworms and reeling silk, or a variety of mulberry trees is the right way.
"Mother! I have my plans! You're just waiting to be blessed! The rest of their own children do it! Don't worry about it. ”
"Good! Good! ”
Lu Jian'an's idea is too big now, but the Xu family retreats one after another.
"Big brother, I heard Mama say that you are now a disciple of the silkworm god Niangniang, aren't you very powerful?"
Lu Xuehan looked at the eldest brother, looking up at her little face, her eyes were black, and there was curiosity and admiration inside, Lu Jian'an twisted her little face, her slippery little face, it felt very comfortable to touch, "Yes!" The eldest brother is very powerful, only the eldest brother is powerful, our snow cold can have a good life, you have to listen to your mother at home, learn to be a female red, learn to practice words, otherwise the eldest brother will be angry. ”
The little girl is her own admirer.
Lu Xuehan nodded solemnly, "Big brother!" I'm working hard, my big characters are good, my mother says I'm better than the fourth sister's writing. ”
"That's good, our family can have a little talented girl again."
Lu Jian'an touched the top of her hair dotingly, this child has finally opened up a little in the past two months, at least his complexion is not so green, and it doesn't look so distressing.
"Young master, the uncle and the old lady are here."
Mama Li shouted outside.
Lu Jian'an frowned, knowing that today's news went out, the Xu family would naturally come to the door, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Xu hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him.
As soon as the curtain was raised, Xu's mother, Xu Laozi, Xu Yuan, Xu Quan's two brothers, and there was actually an extra scholar in a long shirt coming in.
"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, three uncles Ann."
Lu Jian'an took Lu Xuehan to kowtow to the five people who had already sat down.
The evil etiquette has to kowtow and bow down, and Lu Jian's heart is hateful.
But what can be done, not kneeling is disrespectful to the elders.
Old Man Xu smiled and waved his hand, "The family is polite." Hurry up, Brother An, get up. ”
Xu Yuan had already reached out to help Lu Jian'an up.
Lu Jian'an sat down, and Old Man Xu probably didn't simply talk about family life.
"Brother An, I really didn't expect that you have this atmospheric luck, it's really a blessing for our Xu family!"
Looking at what he said, Lu Jian'an remembered that his surname was Lu.
"Grandfather, if my father is alive, he will be gratified, I can already set up a family, I can glorify my ancestors for the Lu family, at least I can keep my mother and sister from hunger and cold, and the kid is already satisfied."
Old Man Xu choked.
This kid hated their Xu family when he said this, after all, he personally brought people here, and his father's bones were not cold, and his grandfather had already drawn a clear line, and now he inevitably had to worry about it.
Thinking about it, no matter what, the relationship between himself and the Xu family that cannot be broken, even if Lu Jian'an Zai is very capable, without the protection of a family, it is not beautiful after all, and sooner or later he will be bullied, everyone knows this, the reason why the ancients attached importance to their relatives is because of this.
Lu Jian'an's father Lu Han has been expelled from the Lu family, which is already a very serious matter in this era, if he breaks off his relationship with the Xu family again, Lu Jian'an and they are really unrelated, once there is a thing, there is no one to protect them.
You must know that if you don't have relatives, people will inevitably step on you, that is, you will be bullied without power and power, and you don't even have a brother who fights tigers! This was taboo in ancient times.
What's more, Lu Jian'an has no brothers, and his sisters have no help, so Old Man Xu is naturally not afraid of Lu Jian'an and them.
"Brother An, you are raising your family alone, if there is no one to help you, it is difficult to start tomorrow to be a silk reeling master in Xujia Silk Workshop, you can rest assured, here is your grandfather and uncle, naturally will not treat you badly, the salary is twice that of other people's families, and it will also save people who come to harass your orphans and widows every day when the time comes." The second uncle Xu Quan talked to himself, but the eldest uncle Xu Yuan didn't speak, what was going on, he naturally knew, if it wasn't for the fact that he suddenly couldn't notify Lu Jian'an, how could Xu Yuan not inform him.
Lu Jian'an's custom plaque, Xu Mengshan had already told him, he naturally knew that aspiring men would not succumb to the Xu family, not to mention that Lu Jian'an is now a disciple of the hot silkworm god Niangniang, and his son is still Lu Jian'an's disciple, and Lu Jian'an's self-reliance is naturally good for him.
So why bother to offend Lu Jian'an.
Xu Cheng looked at Lu Jian'an and smiled lightly, when his father proposed this idea, the second brother strongly agreed, but he didn't think that Lu Jian'an would obey the Xu family's arrangement, this time it was just because the last time Lu's father died, he didn't come to the door, for the sake of his reputation, he naturally wanted to come.
After all, Xu's sister was married when Xu Quan was a few years old, and this was the first time she came back in these years, and Xu Quan had no impression of the Lu family, let alone feelings.
As a bystander, he only cared if Lu Jian'an would bring him benefits.
