Chapter 69: Kneeling and begging our family to take back the deed of sale
When the girl mentioned it, her father and mother also echoed it.
The family discussed, took twenty taels of silver, and gave Gu Qianyu the travel expenses.
Gu Qianyu refused, thinking that taking a little bit would be enough for him not to starve to death.
Unexpectedly, Lu Manjing, who has always been optimistic, suddenly wiped away her tears and choked up: "It's my mother who is sorry for you!" ”
Gu Yuqiao looked stunned, and nervously ran over to hold his mother's hand, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Qianyu angrily explained to his sister.
"My mother finally saved forty taels, but it happened that at the beginning of this month, my uncle didn't know how many times the business failed, and he owed a debt and was tied up by the creditor, so the silver was borrowed by my grandmother to save the emergency."
Gu Huaming and Gu Qianyu, two first-class talents, are distributed with silver rice in the county every month, one pound of rice a day, one or two silver a month, and sometimes fish, meat, oil, and salt.
The matter of being admitted to Xiucai was hidden from the old man, and he naturally did not dare to take back what he ate.
"My grandmother's family is difficult, and my father knows that my mother is filial and the eldest in the family, so I let the second uncle bring back the monthly food and use it, who knows that the eldest uncle can't always carry it!"
The young man with strong blood is very disgusted by this.
In the next second, he was knocked on the forehead by his own father.
"Stinky boy, what about the elders, it's not your junior's turn to put the beak."
Gu Yuqiao glanced at his brother with contempt: Didn't you see that your mother was feeling guilty, and she added fuel to the fire.
Gu Qianyu rubbed his forehead and was aggrieved: Isn't this what you're asking?
You can tell me quietly, not in front of your mother.
Gu Qianyu: ......
Well, it's still my sister who is smart and considerate.
Gu Yuqiao despised his brother, turned his head and comforted his mother with a smile.
"Mother, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't we have twenty taels now?"
"But this is the silver that ...... "is going to ransom for his own good girl!"
Lu Manjing felt guilty, and when she borrowed money to go out, she forgot about her father-in-law and son's preparation for the scientific expedition.
Who knew that something like Yu Qiao's girl would happen later?
"Anyway, the family hasn't been found yet - but do you think, when my brother passes the exam, the family won't cry and shout, kneeling and begging our family to take back the deed of sale?"
"Poof~ you girl!"
Lu Manjing burst into tears and laughed.
Gu Qianyu silently put away the money.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would let his family live a good life as soon as possible!
Gu Yuqiao changed the topic in a timely manner, urging her mother to pack her brother's luggage.
I thought there was nothing to clean up, and there were only two sets of clothes for one person in their house, and there were no patches.
Who knew that Lu Manjing took out four sets of brand-new muslin clothes from the bottom of the cabinet, and said to Gu Qianyu: "I have already prepared the clothes for you and your father to go to the exam." ”
Gu Yuqiao's eyes lit up, and she shook off her father's and brother's clothes.
In order to make work easier, men generally wear short brown, women wear curved collar shirts and long trousers, and a bib is tied around the waist.
Even when she was dressed as a teenager, she wore short brown - her brother's old clothes were changed from smaller.
And these sets made by Lu Manjing are all straight jackets worn by scholars, covered with half-arm shirts of the same color.
The half-arm shirts are exquisitely embroidered, two white ones are embroidered with ink pine and cypress and light orchid grass, the light green ones are embroidered with fresh bamboo, and the black ones are embroidered with flowing clouds and dark patterns.
"Wow, mother, your embroidery skills are too good!"
The girl saw the exquisite embroidery of this era for the first time and couldn't put it down.
