Gu Wenxuan didn't hide it from his son Gu Erzhu, but he just said vaguely, and did not specify what he wanted to say about the small head and the big head.

The fact that his daughter-in-law gave the eldest lady of the Gao Mansion two parts to pay off the internal and external accounts was a private matter for the two of them, so it was okay not to mention it.

But it is enough for Gu Erzhu to hear the meaning of the words, the old daughter-in-law is not stupid, and the old son is not stupid, and he has already calculated many things quietly.

That's good, I'm afraid that my old son will be stupid when he reads, and he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and he only reads sages and sages, and when things come out, he will be dumbfounded.

By that time, the two of them were gone, and that would be a joke.

Fortunately, the son is much stronger than Lao Tzu.

"Dad is going to be confused one day, remember to wake up Dad.

In front of my father, I don't say anything about my father's fault.

In my early years, my father always thought that your grandfather was my son, and I could still be a son if I didn't follow him.

From childhood to adulthood, my father dared to say that everything went well with your grandmother, so he didn't listen to them marrying your mother, and waited for the year your mother entered the door and gave birth to your eldest brother.

Once, your mother and father said that your grandfather was happy to beat your brother to cry when he looked at Da Lang.

Dad was still thinking about how old the child was and how much strength he could have.

was said by your grandmother, it is different for your mother to give birth to a son.

It's not that the waist is straight, it's that I want to live my own small life, leaving aside my parents-in-law. ”

Thinking of the past, Gu Erzhu laughed at himself, "At that time, I didn't think much that in your mother's heart, the eldest nephew was just my father's eldest nephew."

The money earned by her father, she can't manage it as a daughter-in-law, so she can only hand it over for your uncle to study, but her son, she can't see your grandfather's eccentricity.

Now that I think about it, your mother may have seen that your father didn't take it to heart at all, so she took your brother with her wherever she went, and taught your brother to protect you when you were born.

But is your mother wrong?

As far as she is concerned, the three of you brothers and sisters are her lifeline, who can blame her for deliberately not letting you and Da Lang get close?

It can only be said that it is my father's fault, and the fault is that it is too obedient to your grandmother, and in the end, not to mention that there is nothing left for you two brothers, and you are delayed-"

"Daddy!" Gu Wenxuan disagreed with the interruption, "You are already the best father in the world." If you go on, your son will kneel down and cry to you. ”

"......" Gu Erzhu glanced at his old son, shook his head and walked forward with his hands behind his back, "You really don't need to prepare much for the apprenticeship ceremony, do you want to add more?" ”

This topic changed, his father was shy, Gu Wenxuan was secretly happy, "No, you don't have to be too rich to prepare gifts, people like him are not willing to accept it." ”

Following.

Zhou Mansion.

Gu Wenxuan thought that the exam was over, and the next thing was the work of the chief examiner and subordinate officials to review it.

In other words, the government officials, including Lord Tongzhiqian, can't come, and there shouldn't be many people who come to watch the ceremony today, but I didn't expect that there would still be a lot of people.

Among them was an old man in his sixties, with a white beard and a thin face, wearing a dark blue robe and a wooden hairpin.

A middle-aged man is not tall, and he has gray hair in his hair, but he looks rich, and when he sits, he has a small oval belly faintly stretched out on his stomach.

There is also a tall and strong middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, who looks like a military general, and the third master of Gaofu who has met twice.

After being introduced, Gu Wenxuan knew that the old man was the head of Jingshan Academy and Zhou Huan's uncle.

And the rich middle-aged man and the middle-aged man who is very military are Senior Brother Zhou Huan.

Although Baocheng lacks the famous Gulian Academy in history, there is a well-known Jingshan Academy outside the city.

Just as many academies in ancient times were far away from the city, many Confucian scholars and scholars liked to be surrounded by quiet and leisurely nature.

Jingshan Academy is also built on the mountain.

The whole academy is low in front and high in the back, layered on top of each other, surrounded by green hills and covered by trees, and is said to have a history of 100 years.

Gu Wenxuan remembered that he was fortunate to pass by a long row of stairs in front of the academy, and saw that at the end of the stairs was the gate of the academy, and no idlers were allowed to enter in front of the gate.

And the rich middle-aged people and the middle-aged people who are very military generals are also as Gu Wenxuan guessed, one is the pacification envoy who abandoned the literature and joined the army, and the other is the eldest son of the mountain chief who claims to be unsuccessful.

Their arrival this time, in addition to witnessing Zhou Huan's acceptance of apprentices, also came to congratulate Zhou Huan and Zhou Shun on becoming brothers, the latter is something that even Zhou Shun himself does not know.

After the apprenticeship in the main hall, Gu Wenxuan and Da Jiang also went to the backyard to visit their wife.

When I arrived in the backyard, I heard Mrs. Zhou mention that she originally wanted to accept Zhou Banxia as a daughter, and even Zhou Banxia, who had been accompanying several ladies in the backyard, realized that her father had now become her master's second brother.

The reason, very simple, is that it still occupies the convenience of a surname Zhou.

Zhou Huan felt that there was no need to do more, just a niece, what is the difference between a niece and a daughter.

On the contrary, in the name of his niece, he was able to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and he was worried that Gao Fu would look down on his niece, so he directly married Thursday Shun as a brother.

Did the senior lady present understand this meaning, Zhou Banxia didn't know, but Mrs. Qian, judging from Mrs. Qian holding her and smiling, was enlightened.

Indeed, Mrs. Qian was overjoyed to help Zhou Banxia have such an uncle.

Because the third lady of high school was present, she didn't say much.

Until the banquet was dispersed and it was time to say goodbye and leave, when Zhou Banxia sent her out, he reminded her softly that the master and father were no different.

Zhou Banxia guessed that Mrs. Qian's words meant to mention her that it was now the best arrangement.

The woman takes her mother's family as her backer and accepts her as a daughter, it is better for her two younger brothers to justifiably have an uncle.

Moreover, except for Da Jiang who has already worshiped her uncle as a teacher, even Xiao He doesn't need her to work hard.

thanked Mrs. Qian, who had been guiding her in private.

Zhou Banxia smiled and nodded again to show that she knew, and at the same time, she thought that people didn't owe her.

Just thinking about this, when the guests are gone, it is a good old man to give it away, and Mrs. Zhou, the aunt, wants to stuff her master's things to her again.

“…… Those things, you don't want them, just put them first, but your master's dowry, your master has a last word first. Be obedient and take it and leave it to the child. ”

The dowry that Mrs. Zhou said was the dowry of her master's mother who was returned by the imperial court after the Zhou family was rehabilitated, and that was the eldest daughter who was once in charge of the internal affairs office.

The dowry is too much.

Don't say that her master has nothing to do in her life, there are still people in the Zhou family.

It is reasonable to be reasonable, the heir will not be able to take her turn, and she will inevitably return to the Zhou family.

Besides, what her master has a last word before.

She still doesn't know it's all fiction.

The letter left by her master did not mention anything about the dowry.

Her master himself is an extremely arrogant person, otherwise how could a good young lady secretly learn embroidery at a young age?

Isn't it very confident that she doesn't rely on her life experience or dowry, she herself can one day be proud of men, but it's just a matter of making people.

How dare she accept it as a disciple?!
