3 Chapter 3
I went to a private school for a half-day class, and before lunch, the private school officially had a holiday.
At this time, it should be time to eat, the private school does not provide meals today, Gu Changlin's young masters who were often together in the past are naturally going to find their own fun, Gu Changlin did not follow today, every time it is not necessary, every time it is time for a monthly vacation, he will go home directly.
He didn't mean to avoid home.
He knows that in the hearts of his parents, he has never been the most important, but he still needs the support of his family to study, and if he is an official in the scientific examination, filial piety is also very important, and sometimes it is a double thing for him to go back to please his parents.
But today, Gu Changlin didn't know that before he went back, Old Man Gu and a few other people from the Yang family had already come to the city, but these people had temporarily avoided the craze of private school, and planned to come over to ask the master about the situation after everyone had dispersed.
Gu Changlin didn't notice anything unusual.
He was a little hungry, but he didn't wronged himself, and went to a stall he frequented to eat a big bowl of wontons, and then went home with his bookcase.
And just after he left, Old Man Gu and a few people also arrived at the door of the private school.
The Yang family seems to fan the flames when he is at home, but in fact, the real person in charge of the family is still Mr. Gu, and today Mr. Gu personally went to the private school to inquire about the situation.
However, Boss Gu also followed.
The Yang family and Zhu Qiaoniang are all waiting in the village.
Before Gu Changlin entered the door, he saw several children in the family playing in the yard, and his eyes almost subconsciously fell on one of the relatively thin children, it was his son, "Little sheep, Cuicui, dad is back." ”
Gu Yi raised his head and looked at the person who came, I have to say that Gu Changlin has a good look, no wonder losing his memory in the future can still make a merchant lady fall in love with him and give birth to children for him.
Thinking about the relationship between the father and son in his memory, Gu Yi showed a pair of crooked smiling eyes at Gu Changlin, and took a few steps closer to the other party: "Dad." ”
Gu Cui also called her father, and the other children called their own names.
Gu Changlin agreed, and bent down to hug Gu Yi.
Gu Yi's body stiffened, and then softened after a moment, is this his father's embrace?
It's as warm as he imagined in his previous life.
He stretched out his hands to hug Gu Changlin's neck, just like the postures he had seen between father and son getting along.
Gu Changlin didn't forget his daughter, Gu Cui was already seven years old, her body was much older, and she was no longer suitable for hugging her, so he gently reached out and touched her daughter's hair, "What about your mother?" ”
Gu Cui said: "My mother is cooking in the stove room." ”
At noon today, it was Zhu Qiaoniang's turn to cook at home, and the rest of the Gu family, except for those who went to the city, were still working in the fields.
Of course, they children don't have to comply with this, and when they are tired, adults let them play by themselves.
After all, a large family with limited land and a lot of labor, except when the farm is busy, it will not be impossible to do it, and their children will be more relaxed.
"Okay." Gu Changlin nodded, "Dad go and put the box down first, and you can play by yourself." ”
Gu Changlin carried his books in his bookcase, the price of books these years is not ordinarily expensive, especially these books about scientific research, the price has never gone down, and most readers have to take care of these books on weekdays, for fear of being damaged.
In Gu's house, there was a study room specially used for Gu Changlin to read, and as he spoke, Gu Changlin took Gu Yi and walked into the study.
Gu Yi felt a little strange when he was hugged by his father for the first time, and he didn't remind him to put it down.
And Gu Changlin also wanted to deliberately get closer to Gu Yi.
After entering the study, Gu Changlin put Gu Yi down, and then he took off the bookcase and carefully took out the books inside one by one, Gu Yi watched from the side, these books should be preserved very well just by looking at their appearance, it can be seen that although Gu Changlin has not read anything famous after reading for so many years, and he doesn't even seem to study seriously in the private school, he still cherishes these books.
This contrast is undoubtedly interesting.
However, Gu Yi can also understand that in his previous life, although it was the end of the world, after the country took control of the order, it still attached great importance to education, but compared to before the end of the world, the discipline of the school was much more chaotic. Although Gu Yi himself was caught training, he also had a student career, which was also an extremely rare time for Gu Yi.
Therefore, he also has a cautious and reverent attitude towards reading.
Looking at the gentle-skinned man in front of him, thinking of the hug just now, he rarely opened his mouth and reminded him first: "Grandpa and uncle went to a private school in the city." ”
He still really wanted to see what Gu Changlin was going to do next, in the past few days, Gu Yi took a look at his memory, and naturally knew that his father was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
As for Gu Changlin, if he retains his qualifications to study, his family will not be able to afford him to study, Gu Yi doesn't care too much about this, and there are other ways to study if he wants to study.
What's more, even if he doesn't say it, Gu Changlin will know the situation at home later, if Gu Changlin reacts to his son and doesn't tell him first, it will inevitably affect the harmony of the family, and in the case of non-necessity, Gu Yi doesn't want such a thing to happen.
If you say that, let's just say it.
Gu Changlin was still thinking about what to say to set up his words, to see what his son's situation was now, and he was taken aback by these calm and informative words.
"What?" He subconsciously asked rhetorically, in fact, his mind was already running rapidly, and in these, Gu Changlin's brain was extremely flexible.
Gu Yi didn't mean to speak again, and he could see that Gu Changlin didn't need him to explain in detail.
Gu Changlin's private school is very good, and the person who teaches in it is a lifter, which is actually not surprising, the city where they are located is a big city next to the main city of Yuzhou, although it is not as good as the main city, but it is also an extremely prosperous city.
And here in the south, the literary style is notoriously prosperous, and the part they are in is no exception.
For example, there are a lot of them in the city, so with them, the restraint of lifting people is really not as high as imagined.
But even so, the social status of the people is still very high, even if the fathers of the young masters in the private school, when they go to the private school to talk to the master, they have to be polite, except when necessary, almost no parents will often run to the private school, and people with that kind of family background are still like this, not to mention their families who dig in the soil.
So what was his father going to do when he went to private school?
There is a scholar younger than him in the old mansion, Gu Changlin doesn't know, he also went to take the government exam this time, and after reading the list, it is clear that the cousin over there has been admitted, which is also something he has been worried about in the past few days.
There will always be comparisons between relatives, and if he doesn't get in, the situation will be very embarrassing.
But he didn't expect his father to go directly to the private school, and it was obvious what he was going to do.
Thinking of his bad deeds in the private school, his heart beat wildly, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, he knew that he was finished, if he let his father know about his situation in the private school, the family would not let him read it again.
For a moment, Gu Changlin couldn't care about inquiring about his son's situation anymore, if he cut off the way to study, no matter how powerful his son was, he wouldn't be able to really be happy.
Gu Changlin is unwilling to be a farmer who does farm work at home.
In his plan all along, he wanted to study, take the imperial examination, become a decent official, and live a good life.
The point is decency.
In the current era, the emperor treats officials very well, even if it is corruption, there will be basically no murder, the imperial court attaches great importance to civil officials, emphasizing civil affairs over military force, even if it is a war, it is sent to fight civil officials, which is simply heaven for Gu Changlin.
Being an official has been Gu Changlin's goal for more than ten years.
Even if it was just a county order, it was more attractive to him than a wealthy businessman.
In fact, Gu Changlin didn't dare to think too much, becoming a county magistrate was the best and most difficult thing he wanted to get.
It's a pity that it's one thing to think, but it's another thing to act.
At this moment, after realizing that he didn't seem to have time, Gu Changlin fell into a panic, he paced back and forth in the room, quickly thinking about what words to use to eliminate his father's anger, and what to say to let him continue reading.
"Little Lamb, do you know why Grandpa wants to go to private school?"
Gu Changlin instinctively felt that something was wrong, even though the cousin of the old mansion was admitted to Tongsheng, but he had never instilled in his family the idea that the imperial examination was difficult, and he didn't even need to indoctrinate him, in Yuzhou, where the literary style is prevalent, who doesn't know that the scientific examination here is even more difficult than in the north.
There are many people who have some achievements at the age of thirty or forty, and there are not a few gray-haired children.
The annual scientific examination list is announced, and how many people are crying bitterly at the scene.
He is twenty-six this year, although he is not young at this age, but there is usually no reaction at home, and this fierce person should not go directly to the private school because he did not pass the examination, and the place where he studied the imperial examination is a very sacred place for the family. Even if you want to inquire about his situation, you should find a holiday, and when you give gifts to the master, you should ask about the situation by the way.
Giving gifts to the master on holidays is a fairly natural thing for scholars, and if you don't give them, you will even lose your etiquette.
It's like this kind of non-annual days have passed, and he is still carrying him, which is more like listening to something......
Gu Yi was not surprised by his father's keenness, this is not a fuel-efficient lamp, "It was said by the eldest uncle, she should want Mao Dan to read." "Mao Dan is the son of Dafang.
For so many years, Dafang first gave birth to a girl, and then after a few years, he gave birth to two sons in turn, the eldest son is called Mao Dan, and the second son is called Preserved Egg.
Gu Changlin scolded the street fiercely in his heart, Mao Dan is ten years old, and he hasn't even started to recognize words, read a ** book!
As for the age of the preserved egg, he is only four years old, one year younger than Gu Yi.
Although the age is outrageous, Yang's idea may not really be realized, because in this family, Mao Dan is very popular with Mrs. Gu as the eldest grandson of the long house, among the grandchildren, the most favored is Mao Dan, followed by Mao Dan's sister, that is, the granddaughter of the long house, the first grandchild of the Gu family, Gu Xiang.
And the old house is a long house and a grandson studying, and they also have a supporting set here, which is not impossible.
Just when Gu Changlin was anxious, the sound of Zhu Qiaoniang and her daughter talking came from outside, and soon after, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Zhu Qiaoniang's gentle voice came, "Can I come in and talk about something?" ”
