Chapter 144: To Each His Home
"How's it going?"
As soon as the brother and sister returned home, Geng Wen and Ruan looked at them expectantly, and when they saw that the two of them were fluctuating and there was no sound, Geng Wen couldn't help but ask.
"Looks like I forgot to ask!" Geng Shuhuai patted his head and looked at Geng Xingshuang, "Sister Shuang, did you ask?" ”
Geng Xingshuang was a little speechless, "You didn't hear what we said, second brother, but the two of you seemed to have whispered, didn't you ask?" ”
"That...... Ask what's the matter, anyway, in less than a month, the list will be released, even if we ask, Yang Liu will not necessarily say, even if he does, he said that if he does well in the exam, will he definitely be able to win? He said that if he didn't do well in the exam, he might not be on the list. ”
The more Geng Shuhuai spoke, the more justified he became, and he felt that what he said was extremely reasonable.
Geng Wen glanced at his son and wanted to say something, but he endured it but didn't say it.
Ruan Shi couldn't help but nod his forehead, "If you forget to ask, you forget to ask, and make excuses." ”
"Oh, by the way, mother, Yang Liu said that he would take his sister out of the house tomorrow morning, that ...... You're not going to agree, are you? My sister is still young, and she has to have at least two or three ...... to get married. Well, I'll do the math, it's possible in four or five years. ”
Geng Shuhuai felt that he couldn't say it in vain, it was best to let Yang Liu's guy pounce tomorrow morning.
Ruan Shi glanced at him, "How can it be so long, before your Aunt Hu wrote to say that they should be able to return to Ningdu at the end of this year to report on their work, and then we will discuss the ...... of the marriage."
Ruan Shi paused slightly when she said this, she was used to talking in front of her daughter, and she forgot that this was her marriage, and she should avoid her a little.
But before Geng Xingshuang could have any emotions, Geng Shuhuai had already jumped to his feet, "What? The engagement date is now, how old is my sister, and I won't be married until next year, which is too small, I don't agree. ”
Ruan felt that the father and son's attitudes when they heard this topic were almost the same.
"Whoever says that they will get married next year will be the year after tomorrow at the earliest, but if the marriage date is set in advance, what should be prepared must also be prepared. By the way, before Sister Shuang'er gets married, you have to settle your family affairs first. ”
Ruan Shi suddenly changed the topic, Geng Shuhuai was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had been poked in a hole, he bounced up from the stool with a bang, "I...... I don't want to get married now, I have to start a business first, and then start a family. ”
"Tell me how you're going to start your business?"
Geng Wen still couldn't help it.
"I will take the martial arts examination, and next year Yang Liu will participate in the Spring Festival, and I will participate in the martial arts."
Geng Shuhuai was so provoked by Geng Wen, so he said what he had never wanted to tell Geng Wen.
Geng Wen was not very surprised, when Geng Shuhuai followed Yang Tianmo to Licai Academy, he had a guess.
It's just, "You took the Wu Xiucai exam in Pingcheng?" ”
This is naturally no, at that time, Geng Shuhuai was rebellious, only thinking about the pleasure of the rivers and lakes, where he is willing to take the exam, whether it is a literary or martial arts, he is not deaf to the heart.
Facing Geng Wen's suspicious gaze, Geng Shuhuai turned his face away and didn't want to speak.
If other people looked at him like this, it was reasonable doubt, and Geng Shuhuai's character would definitely explain it.
But it was Geng Wen who asked this, and it was Geng Wen who doubted him, Geng Shuhuai just could hold his breath and not speak.
Looking at the father and son, Ruan was a little worried.
Geng Xingshuang felt that it was nothing, it was better to be awkward in person than to be polite in person, but across the mountains and seas in his heart.
"Dad, when the eldest brother was in Pingcheng, he once helped Lan Pingwei transport darts, and after being recommended by Lan Pingwei, he could directly take the martial arts test as Wu Xiucai."
Geng Xingshuang didn't care about her second brother's staring at her, and she simply and neatly turned her second brother's bottom to her parents.
In Daning, each guard has a quota for recommending martial arts, but the quota is limited, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get it, at that time Lan Pingwei gave him this quota, although he was surprised, but he was not very happy, he didn't want to take the martial arts exam at that time.
Unexpectedly, I ended up using this place.
Geng Wen's mood was a little complicated, but Ruan Shi was very happy, with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "My son is amazing, I think back then, your father still tried his best to take the martial arts exam, but I didn't expect you to be a martial artist now, and when the martial arts are over next year, won't you be a martial arts person, and your father has been taking the exam for a lifetime......"
Ruan Shi stopped at this point, and felt that he should save some face for his husband.
Because of the martial arts, Geng Shuhuai's family affairs were naturally ignored, and Geng Shuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Geng Xingshuang felt that her eldest brother's breath was a little early.
As soon as Yang Tianmo returned home, he went to Mrs. Yang first.
"How did you lose so much weight? Quick, get the kitchen to bring all the prepared meals, and we'll be ready to eat now! ”
Old Madam Yang looked her grandson up and down distressedly.
"Grandmother, I'm fine, I'm not that hungry! I hadn't bathed for many days, so I had to go back to bathe first, otherwise it would be bad to smoke my grandmother during dinner. ”
Yang Tianmo's posture is graceful, and his demeanor is elegant and smooth, not at all like a person who has taken the exam for nine consecutive days in an environment like the imperial examination room.
"Mother, aren't you still chattering just now, and you don't know how you did in the exam this time? According to your daughter-in-law, you are worried in vain, just look at the appearance of the ink, you will know that the test must be good, radiant, where it looks like you can't eat well and sleep well. ”
Mrs. Yang's third wife, Deng Shi, looked at Yang Tianmo, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and giggled amusefully.
Mrs. Yang was focused on her grandson who had just returned from the exam, and naturally she didn't hear the meaning of the third daughter-in-law's words, and nodded approvingly, "Our brother Mo has been smart since he was a child. ”
"Grandmother, you can't boast like this, if the sixth brother fails the exam, how can he have the face to see you in the future!" Yang Tingbi teased with a smile.
"Bah, baba, you monkey, you will talk nonsense, how can you say such a thing at this time."
Mrs. Yang snorted three times in a row, and pretended to be angry and glared at Yang Tianbi.
"Tilt the pen, don't blame my mother for scolding you, what are you talking about, Dumping ink has just finished the exam, you said that he failed the exam, wouldn't it be a bad head."
Deng Shi spoke again, and asked Chu Shi who was sitting next to him, "Sister-in-law, do you say this is the reason?" ”
Chu didn't want to speak, she just wanted to sit quietly, but Deng Shi looked at herself directly, as if she had to say an answer that satisfied her, no way, she was about to say a few perfunctory words, suddenly, Yang Fu called loudly, "Grandmother!" ”
Everyone was attracted by her voice, and Mrs. Yang asked, "You girl, what are you doing so loudly?" Grandmother is old, but she can't stand such a fright! ”
"Oh, I suddenly remembered, the fourth brother is also studying in Licai Academy, if he is also lifted, there will be two lifters in our family, in this way, I will go out to the party in the future, but I have a lot of face, people will definitely praise my brothers are young and promising, and by the way, they will also praise me."
seemed to think of the scene of being praised by everyone, Yang Fu squinted her eyes with a smile.
