Chapter Twenty-Three: The eldest young master returns home

After more than ten days, when it was time for Licai Academy to take a break on the first day of January, it was closed for three days in a row.

Geng Shulou, the young master Geng, was studying in the Xiucai Academy of Licai Academy, and he passed the college examination in Sheng Ning in the eleventh year and became a Xiucai in Daning.

participated in the township examination in the same year and failed.

This year is the year of the autumn season, Geng Shulou is definitely going to participate, now Daning is stable inside and outside, prosperous and prosperous, if you want to occupy a place in the court in the future, you can serve the court for a hundred generations, and you can prosper the family's wife and son, and take the imperial examination is the best and most normal way at the moment.

Although the ancestors of the Geng family used martial arts to get the title of knighthood with the art of war, they had no choice but to pass on these skills to their descendants, whether it was An Pingbo himself, or Geng Wen and Geng Yan Although they all practiced martial arts, their martial arts were mediocre, and they barely took the martial arts test, so they had no benefit.

So now, the main direction of the efforts of the juniors in Anping Bofu is to execute the officials with literature.

And Geng Shulou, who has already won the show, carries the hope of Anpingbo's mansion up and down.

Even Geng Wen, who has an average relationship with Geng Cheng, Geng Yan, who is ignored in addition to cynicism when they meet, has the same expectations for Geng Shulou, a nephew.

Therefore, after Geng Shuhuai, who was preparing to go to Licai Academy to study, was deceived by Geng Xun Xia in the second room, Geng Wen was both angry and sad about his father and stepmother and the second room, but no matter how angry he was, when he learned that Geng Shuhuai was admitted to Xiucai three years ago, Geng Wen was still very happy, and with the full support of Geng Xun and Xia, Geng Shulou successfully enrolled in the Xiucai class of Licai Academy.

At that time, although Geng Wen felt a little uncomfortable, after all, his son had a rebellious mentality because of the matter of Licai Academy, and he went away to change his literature and martial arts, and he might not be able to come back once a year.

But uncomfortable is uncomfortable, Geng Wen still sent a set of four treasures of the study, as a congratulatory gift for Geng Shulou's examination of Xiucai, when Geng Shulou set off for Licai Academy, he gave Cheng Yi ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as dedication.

But Geng Wen's thoughts do not mean that Ruan and Geng Xingshuang, the mother and daughter have no good impression of Geng Shulou.

Fortunately, since Geng Shulou went to Licai Academy, he has returned home very rarely, and he is almost on par with Geng Shuhuai, who is not at home all the year round.

This year, since I went to Licai College after the Chinese New Year, I haven't returned once, saying that I want to do my best to prepare for this autumn exam.

But this time, Geng Shulou came back.

As for Geng Shulou's coming back, Qingcui Yuan didn't know anything about it.

During this time, Geng Xingshuang has been busy with the opening of Mingshang Pavilion, and also supplies four shops such as Jinxiufang, Liu Ji Garment Shop, Linglong Pavilion, and Xiaochun Building, as well as training newcomers and recruiting newcomers.

Half roll and pandan have been put into the Ming Dress Pavilion by her.

Half a volume is the account room that Geng Xingshuang has cultivated a long time ago, and Xianglan has a good female red skill, the two have experienced being sold once, and they cherish the days in Mingshang Pavilion, and they are all energetic.

Geng Xingshuang even went to the Zhenguo Mansion to discuss with Zhu Yan the opening date and the details of the store's operation.

It can be said that they are busy with their feet not touching the ground, although Xia and Erfang know that the big house has earned silver, they used to make small fights and sell clothes, although they are red at the silver, but An Pingbo is still there, he used to pit the eldest son once, in the end, he was weak-hearted, so he could control some of them.

What's more, in all the business, Geng Xingshuang said that she was doing Zhu Yan a favor, and Zhu Yan gave her a little hard money, which was counted as fat powder silver.

This is said, no matter how the Xia family is, if even the granddaughter earns a little fat powder silver, plus there is an eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion in front, the Zhenguo Mansion is not as powerless and powerless as Anpingbo's Mansion, only a down-and-out nobleman who will be taken back his title as soon as An Pingbo dies, and the Zhenguo Mansion is now a saint, and the Xia family naturally does not dare to fight the idea of these silvers.

Now although Geng Xingshuang has opened the Mingshang Pavilion, the big proprietor is Zhu Yan, and the Xia family and the second room can only watch Geng Xingshuang busy every day, and even the third room has signs of getting closer, but there is no other action.

Of course, they have more important things.

Open the ancestral hall and sink Geng Cheng's newly recognized daughter into the water genealogy.

This not only has to invite the elders of the Geng clan, Geng Shulou, who is the eldest son of the second room and the eldest grandson of Anping Bo's Mansion, naturally wants to come back.

Of course, it stands to reason that Geng Shuhuai, the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son, should also come back, after all, there is one more person in the family, and the way he appears is also a bit bizarre, but Geng Wen directly thought that Geng Shuhuai followed the dart team out to escort the dart, and he didn't know where the destination was, the letter could only be sent to Pingcheng, when he could see it, and when he could come back, it would depend on the will of God.

Geng Wen originally thought that Geng Cheng didn't care about this extra concubine, what was going on with this concubine, no matter how well it was made up on the surface, no one knew the reason.

But to Geng Wen's surprise, Geng Cheng was still quite anxious.

And what was even more unexpected for Geng Wen, Ruan's Geng Xingshuang's family of three, Yao's seemed to accept this well, not only did not mean to stop Geng Cheng, but instead had the intention of adding fuel to the fire.

Geng Xingbing's attitude, Geng Xingshuang already knew, and Geng Cheng and Yao's meaning were like this, so I didn't know what Geng Shulou's opinion was.

So when Jinbao came in, his face showed a little excitement and said, "The eldest young master is back, he went to Yide Yuan first, and now he is talking to Mrs. Bo in the main courtyard, and the second wife, the third girl, and the fourth girl have all passed."

Geng Shuxian and Geng Shuji of the third room are both studying in Qingxi Academy in the north of the city, Qingxi Academy is closed every ten days, and the rest time of the Xiucai class of Licai Academy does not coincide, so they are not in the house.

"Girl, the sixth girl is here!"

Geng Xingshuang just wanted to ask Geng Xingchen, and she came.

"Fifth sister, I heard that the eldest brother is back, in the grandmother's yard, let's go over and have a look?"

Geng Xingshuang stood up, "I was about to ask you, but it happened that you came." ”

"Even the eldest brother is back, it seems that Shen Guo really values the second uncle."

Geng Xingchen was also very puzzled about Geng Cheng's attitude, she lowered her voice and leaned into Geng Xingshuang's ear and said: "I heard my mother and my father say that the second uncle must have liked Shenshui's biological mother very much before, so now that he knows the existence of Shenshui, he attaches so much importance to it." ”

Is that so? Is her second uncle still an infatuated person? Geng Xingshuang thought of Geng Cheng's gentle and elegant face that seemed to be deliberately maintained all the time, and felt that the third aunt's vision might not be very good.

"What about the third uncle? What did she say? ”

"My father snorted coldly directly, saying that he believes that the second uncle is a person of great affection, and it is better to believe that the pig will fly into the sky, what do you think, fifth sister?"

Geng Xingshuang imagined the third uncle's appearance of three points of sarcasm, four points of mockery, and five points of disdain when he said this, and couldn't help laughing, "I agree with the third uncle's point of view." ”

"Alas......" Geng Xingchen sighed, "Actually, I want to agree with what my mother said, but I know in my heart that what my father said is probably the truth." ”

"Since the third uncle doesn't think that the second uncle is so valued because of his biological mother, then can he say the reason why the second uncle is doing this?"

Geng Xingshuang also discussed it with his parents, but there was no conclusion.
