Half a month after the spring festival, the news was sent, Bai Jianran knew that they had always been close, so he specially sent someone to report the news, saying that Wang Conghan had sent a high school tribute, and it was estimated that when the news was sent, the palace test would also begin.

After receiving the news, Zhou Bo rewarded the little guy who delivered the news, and then stood quietly in the courtyard alone for a long time. It was night, under the flickering candlelight, Erniang Sanlang and Siniang were invited by Xiaoxing.

After everyone arrived, Zhou Bo briefly talked about Wang Conghan, and everyone looked different, as if everyone was forcing themselves to work hard to digest the news, not to mention that there was no envy and jealousy, his own San Lang's knowledge was no worse than Wang Conghan, but ......

Only San Lang, with a little regret on his face, still accepted this fact calmly.

The eldest brother said that he is several years younger than Wang Conghan, and there will be opportunities in the future. If it hadn't been for that incident, then things would have ......

And now ......, forget it, don't think about it, if it weren't for that accident, I wouldn't have grown so fast!

"If I let San Lang take the test this time, maybe I would have entered the dragon gate, maybe I would be able to ......" Erniang was unwilling in the end, knowing that this might be the only chance to save her father, but she was given up like this, and I don't know if there is a chance to turn over.

After nearly two years of separation, my father and aunt are okay?

At that time, things came suddenly, and until now she thinks about it, she is at a loss.

"But...... If...... Why didn't the third brother pass the exam? ”

Siniang bit her pale lip tightly and said with difficulty, she understood the second sister's eagerness, but she also vaguely knew that sometimes, it was not people who were really knowledgeable who could get it.

Erniang didn't know the answer, in her heart, she was worried about family affairs; Out of the gate, it's the big brother's business.

"......" At this time, she was slightly stunned after listening to Siniang's words, raised her head and glanced at Siniang, but saw that her lips were pursed, but her little face was indescribably sad.

The children of the Zhou family are very beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, exquisite facial features, inheriting all the fine bloodlines of their common father, and bringing out some shadows of their own mothers. is different from Erniang's softness, Wuniang's grace (simple appearance), Siniang's face is like a full moon, very pleasing appearance, and her temper is also up and down, no one doesn't like her.

Erniang can now take care of the Zhou family in an orderly manner, and Siniang is also indispensable.

Therefore, in this family, the second mother who knows the most is Siniang.

Glancing at the eldest brother again, she couldn't help but sigh, even Siniang could see the things, how could she not know, she also understood this truth, but after all, this is an opportunity! Alas, this opportunity was missed.

Zhou Bo didn't say anything, things have happened, and regretting and sighing again is not his character. The only thing that can make him think hard is the future.

"Second sister, here's the thing." Or to understand everyone's intentions, San Lang calmly looked at everyone and smiled faintly, and suddenly said loudly: "I discussed with my eldest brother, if I rashly participate in the scientific examination now, I am afraid that someone with a heart will take advantage of this to make trouble, and when the time comes, my father and mother and I, I'm afraid we won't be good." ”

It is not difficult to see that this San Lang has been a gentleman for nearly a year, and he has become as calm as a reborn.

At this moment, such a change is both gratifying and more miserable in the eyes of his brothers and sisters.

"What Saburo said is extremely true." Zhou Bo finally spoke up, everyone looked at him together, and he said slowly: "I have entrusted this matter to Brother Wang, if he is in high school this time, he must stay in Beijing, then it will be easier to help secretly find some clues from the beginning, after all, no one knows his relationship with the Zhou family." ”

The eldest brother of his own family usually never explains anything to his younger siblings, and if he wants to tell him, he can only inform him. I have to sigh that the eldest brother has really changed a lot after getting married.

After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, Erniang felt a little more balanced in her heart, nodded and said, "The eldest brother really thinks better than us." ”

The most important thing in the capital is that high-ranking officials are rich, if you really want to inquire about your father's mother, it is really the safest to rely on Wang Conghan.

It's not something that can be solved in a hurry, but in the face of such a thing, it's really not easy for a young girl to be patient, and she let out a long sigh.

"This scientific examination is a big competition in three years, and when the matter is resolved, San Lang will take the exam again, so that it will not affect his future." Zhou Bo tried his best to make himself clear, and turned his head to look at the people in the room as he spoke, and everyone nodded along with him.

It seems that in the foreseeable future, nothing will change immediately, and the days will have to wait like this day by day.

"Big brother, Xue'er understands." San Lang glanced at Zhou Bo deeply, the eldest brother did not put the pressure of overturning the case for his father and mother on his shoulders, but to solve the matter before letting himself travel lightly, which was really well-intentioned.

"Dashun is light on business and heavy on agriculture, and even businessmen can't even wear silk, if you want to change the status of our Zhou family, San Lang, only rely on you!" Therefore, he wants to protect him and prevent him from showing his head in the face of many unstable factors.

San Lang gritted his teeth, other people's concubines compete, has always been a constant trick, even the Wang family is not exempt from vulgarity, the eldest brother of his own family, he has always secretly compared with him when he was young, and he will also be jealous of him except for his poor learning, he is outstanding in everything, so he will study so hard, that is, to fight him in the field where he can't, but, who would have thought that the eldest brother values him so much and respects him!

Looking at Zhou Bo's still light and breezy appearance, under the background of the candlelight, he was a little more easy-going and leisurely, and the eldest brother, who was already as handsome as jade, became more and more handsome.

San Lang stood up solemnly and bowed respectfully to the eldest brother, "Big brother, don't worry!" ”

The little knot in the deepest part of his heart fell apart like this, and Saburo was in a good mood because of this, and he was even more convinced of his eldest brother.

"What is this?" Zhou Bo frowned slightly, and Erniang hurriedly helped San Lang up, "They are all their own brothers, why do you have such a big gift." ”

"It's just that I suddenly thought of my eldest brother's hard work for this family, and I felt emotional." San Lang smiled faintly, there are some things that you can understand, but you won't say it, you will definitely work harder in the next three years! For yourself, for the eldest brother, for the Zhou family!

In the view of Confucianism, the social status of a person should depend on the level of the person's morality. The ideal state is: the higher the moral level, the higher your social status, and only people with high moral levels can lead or discipline people with low moral levels. "Shi" is a sage who reads well and reasonably, and of course has the highest moral level. "Businessmen" are only interested in profit, and of course the morality is the most humble.

Didn't you be ashamed of being the son of a businessman, so you have to be angry and strive for the complete change from a businessman to a scholar? But think about it again, today's "scholars" often still have "businessmen", and "if you don't get rich as an official, you won't come to death", isn't it just because you think that profit is chaotic?

Erniang wiped her tears and stomped her feet and complained: "Big brother, you have this idea, why didn't you tell us earlier, we were just anxious." ”

"Liang'er thinks that the second sister is right, and it is the eldest brother's fault!" Siniang raised her head and echoed the second sister, she was also moved in her heart, so she pretended to cooperate with Erniang with a relaxed tone.

I always felt that the eldest brother was superior, no one could guess his thoughts, and no one dared to go against his wishes, but I didn't expect that the eldest brother was the one who thought about others the most.

Yukimi plays the role of the chief observer today, firstly, he does not understand the current social form, and secondly, he does not understand the experience that the Zhou family has suffered. She only knew that, according to the ancient understanding, the standard of behavior of "scholars" was literary and noble, but the identity of Xuejian traverser made her understand that the "scholars" of the era before she wore them were "businessmen", and they were constantly creating new lows in moral standards, constantly pursuing interests, from speculation groups to poisoned milk powder, from crispy buildings to gutter oil, doing their best.

Originally, she did not have the concept of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and she was full of envy, jealousy and hatred for modern "Shi", so she did not have any inferiority complex for crossing into the merchant's house and marrying a merchant woman. She didn't know that the ancients were "all inferior, only those who read high", so that they could establish virtue in their hearts, make contributions to the world, declare virtue in words, and be used by future generations.

Seeing that she looked ignorant, Zhou Bo explained in a low voice, "The people in the temple believe that businessmen seek profit, if everyone wants to be in business, then the social atmosphere will slowly change to profit, of course, this is also the misunderstanding caused by some businessmen playing some tricks to do some dishonorable things for the sake of profit." ”

The Zhou family, it is because of the identity of "business" that they are involved in right and wrong, and they can't break free. Therefore, today's Zhou Bo does not come forward in business, and sets up a shopkeeper and a big and small steward, and he himself is too involved in the improvement of agricultural affairs.
