Gu Changlin has never lacked sensitivity in this regard, and as early as the beginning, he realized that Xiao Yang was likely to be the next scholar in the family.

Even if you are not careful, you will drive him down, who is a father.

If it weren't for today's father's promise to give him another year, I'm afraid that after today's assessment, it would be his son who would go to study in two days.

He said: "The matter of the lamb's reading should be decided. "His father is also a little obsessed with being the best official for a scholar to take the exam.

Zhu Qiaoniang's heart was relieved, and soon she thought again, "Dafang shouldn't agree." ”

"Hmm." Gu Changlin said: "Our family is likely to split up at that time." "If the family is separated, it will be easy to find a reason to use his money.

All in all, for Gu Changlin, the separation is a good thing.

After all, they are all separated, and it is their own business to study for others, and the old man will no longer think about letting the little sheep study, and then let him come back to farm and work.

But he has been supported by his family for 20 years, and no matter who in the family mentions it, it is not his turn to mention it.

Of course, Gu Changlin's desire to split up is not very strong.

"Separation?!" Zhu Qiaoniang raised her voice slightly, and quickly covered her mouth.

Her heart was pounding, there was no doubt that for the little daughter-in-law, if she could split up and be the master of the house in the future, it would definitely be very attractive.

In particular, Zhu Qiaoniang is proficient in embroidery and has her own ability to support her family.

She is also relatively independent and does not rely on the big family.

It's just that she frowned slightly, "Can you give me an account, if the family is separated, will your silver be enough for the little sheep to study?" ”

Like she basically handed over all the money she earned in the past to the public middle school, unlike the other two rooms, she would hide some of it herself, although she would compete for interests, but she also had her own principles of action, Gu Changlin went to study and already took advantage of it, she couldn't help but cheat and play tricks on these.

This also led to the fact that in addition to the dowry she gave back then, she had no other money in her hands.

Gu Changlin pondered for a moment, he and Zhu Qiaoniang have been married for so many years, and they know her temperament, even if he says some things, Zhu Qiaoniang will not shout everywhere, he said: "I still have more than ten taels of cash in my hand......

Before Zhu Qiaoniang could question it, he continued: "But I have a house near the private school. ”

Zhu Qiaoniang: !

Zhu Qiaoniang was shocked this time, she had already thought that Gu Changlin had studied in a private school for 20 years, and he had spent a lot of time with that group of rich children, and he must have saved some silver on his body, but she didn't expect that there would be so much!

You know, although they are not the main city of Yuzhou, but Yuzhou is a very prosperous place, and they are a big city close to the main city, needless to say, the price of the houses in the city must be quite expensive.

But that's it, Gu Changlin was able to buy a house in the city quietly!

She hurriedly asked, "Really? How big is that house? Can you live with a family? ”

Gu Changlin said: "Really, it's not as big as our family, there are three bedrooms, just enough for our family to live, and there is a small yard in front, the environment is not bad, if you have the opportunity, I will take you to see it next time." "When he bought the house, he took into account the situation at home.

The couple lived in one, one for their daughter, one for their son, and three rooms, just right.

It's not that he doesn't want to buy a bigger one, it's really that the house in the city is expensive, and this alone has basically spent his savings for more than ten years.

Zhu Qiaoniang felt happy in her heart, "It's good to buy a house, even if you put it there, you can sell it for a lot of silver in the future." ”

Gu Changlin didn't speak, he never thought of selling the house.

All along, he wanted to get rid of his farming career and go to the city to live, this is just the beginning of his step, in case he really can't pass the exam, he has to find a way to see how he can really gain a foothold in the city in the future.

That's why he can't get away from those rich kids, he needs money, he wants to live a good life, and from the beginning, he has been making all kinds of preparations for his future.

Reading is not his only way out, but the way he wants to go the most.

Gu Changlin turned his head and looked in his son's direction, "Little sheep, you can't mention these words that your father and mother said today, you know?" ”

Gu Yi really didn't fall asleep, he said softly, "Hmm." ”

Zhu Qiaoniang also came back to her senses and said a few serious words to her son, making her son more vigilant.

Gu Changlin trusts his son a lot, or rather, he trusts the son in his dream, but he is not particularly afraid of whether this matter will be exposed.

The two elders in their family are actually very reasonable to a certain extent, even if they knew, they would not ask for the other two rooms to be given to the house that they had only obtained after Gu Changlin had been low for so many years, but in this way, the family would definitely be estranged.

So it is of course the best not to be in turmoil.

After saying a few words, the family slowly fell asleep.

Only there was no reaction from the third room, Gu Changshui in the third room was actually the dragon and phoenix fetus born to Mrs. Gu, he had a sibling sister, but now he has already been married, according to common sense, the general dragon and phoenix fetus is still a young son, Gu Changshui is very popular with his father and mother at home, but that was at the beginning, and now it is not like that.

In those days, the four children of the Gu family, Gu Changshan in the eldest house, was the eldest son, and he was more valued by the old couple, and Gu Changlin in the second room was not up or down, and was always ignored.

And Gu Changshui and his sister Gu Chanjuan were very liked by the old couple all their lives.

But as time grows, Gu Changshui's deficiencies are manifested, his brain is not so flexible, and his tongue is not smart enough, this is actually nothing, Gu Changshui's IQ is no problem, these are just the performances of ordinary people. But he couldn't stand Gu Changlin's attitude changed for the sake of reading since he was six years old, and he often made the old couple feel comfortable physically and mentally.

There is also a sibling sister Gu Chanjuan, who is also a sharp tooth, and she is very liked by the old couple.

But although they are compatriots, the relationship between Gu Chanjuan and Gu Changshui is actually quite ordinary.

In such a situation, the longer the time, Gu Changshui basically does not have much presence at home, although both Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu will not treat their son harshly, but he has no right to speak in major matters at home.

Gu Changshui basically didn't express his opinion much, and after a brief discussion with his wife after going back to the room, he fell asleep.

……

Gu Changlin was quite concerned about whether his son was talented in reading, and early the next morning, after Gu Yi woke up, Gu Changlin couldn't wait to ask about what his son taught yesterday.

Gu Yi brushed his teeth with a willow branch while reciting sentences.

Gu Changlin heard the infinite pride in his heart, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he saw his father staring at him and pondering for a while, and the good mood was taken back at once.

It's no wonder that the emperor has always been wary of his son, he is not the emperor yet, and he is about to be ousted by his son.

Yang chopped pig food, listened to the sound of the milk of the child in the second room, and couldn't help but shout: "Mao Dan, my brother has carried it, you can also carry it for your mother." ”

"Huh?" Maodan's face was full of bitterness and hatred.

I memorized two sentences, but I couldn't think of anything else for a long time.

Yang was furious, picked up the broom on the ground and went to Maodan, "Okay, you Gu Maodan, you said that you are so much older than your brother, why are you not as good as your brother!" Didn't they all tell you yesterday that I want you to study hard? ”

Mao Dan suddenly ran out crying wolf.

Gu Yi looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing, it's so good, even if it's a fight, it's full of warmth, he glanced at his father, he could only look at others with envy before, but now, he has his own father.

Although it was not as vigorous as in his previous life, coming here was the luckiest thing in his life.

……

In a flash, the three-day holiday is over, and it is time for Gu Changlin to go back to school in the city.

Gu Yi watched his father leave, he was in a good mood, and the hairy egg on the side was simply excited, God knows how afraid he was of the second uncle, the master, with a serious look, it was terrible.

Seeing Gu Changlin leaving, Mao Dan immediately shouted, "Preserved eggs, lambs, Cuicui, let's go to the river to fish." ”

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, the relationship between his body and Mao Dan is not bad, as the eldest brother in the family, Mao Dan often runs around with a few children.

Mao Dan's sister, that is, the first child of the big house, Gu Xiang, walked out of the door and saw the appearance of these little children, snorted softly, and went out arrogantly.

This person has also been spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't even work in the field very little, the Gu family is very good-looking, Gu Xiang is also a little beauty in this village, and now that she is old, the family wants to marry her to a good family.

Gu Xiang usually doesn't like to come into contact with them, and always goes to find other little sisters in the village.

Yang's voice came from inside, "What are you playing, you can read and write the words taught by your second uncle?" ”

Mao Dan suddenly cried with a sad face, and did not dare to refuse, although he is the eldest grandson of the long house, Mao Dan is the most valued grandson among the juniors in the family, but this also means that when it comes to reading, everyone's expectations for him are also greater.

Mao Dan followed Gu Yi to memorize and write dejectedly, Gu Changlin assigned tasks to Mao Dan before leaving, and the details were so detailed that how many words to learn every day were written on the paper, and Gu Yi was usually responsible for teaching, and Yang and Gu Changshan, the parents, were responsible for inspection and supervision. Although Yang is illiterate, he can still listen to people's endorsements and watch people write silently.

It's not that Gu Yi is still there, whether he is right or not, it is clear at a glance.

Mao Dan usually has a big heart, so the supervision of his parents is particularly important, these Gu Changlin have explained to Gu Changshan, and when he is on holiday next month, Gu Changlin will come back to check.

It can be said that Gu Changlin is quite serious and responsible in teaching Mao Dan enlightenment, which also makes Gu Changshan and the Yang family feel a lot more grateful to the second room.

You must know that Mao Dan and Gu Yi are the same generation, and the Gu family can only afford one scholar, which means that there will be competition between the two children, and they were afraid that Gu Changlin would not be good at teaching him secretly.

And Gu Changlin knew that the family would definitely be the result of the separation of the family at that time, so he disdained to use such a method, and he didn't mind teaching Mao Dan well.

After all, if he can't become an official in the future, being a teacher is also in the retreat that Gu Changlin is thinking, and now he is just using Mao Dan to practice his hands.
