People at the time were superstitious, and Zhao Fuzi always felt guilty about Gu Zhang's poor health.

I can't help but wonder if it could be that his name was not good, so a good child was born frail and sickly.

After Gu Zhang entered the school, he was a rare well-behaved and motivated student, he always taught those skin monkeys and stupid brains, they were about to vomit blood, and compared with the two, he became more and more fond and pity for Gu Zhang.

At this time, I heard that the Gu family didn't plan to let Gu Zhang continue to study, and I couldn't bear it, and my steps were much bigger than before.

The village chief and Zhao Fuzi happened to meet in front of the Gu family's courtyard.

"Village Chief." Zhao Fuzi hugged his hands.

The village chief hurriedly asked, "Master Zhao is also here for the little stone?" ”

Zhao Fuzi nodded and said: "Xiao Shi has been working hard recently, and he has been weak since he was a child, I really can't bear him to give up halfway and go home to farm." ”

The village chief saw that someone had the same intention as him, and his face stretched: "That's good, let's go in together and ask clearly." ”

At this time, there were people in the house, and the courtyard door was not closed, but only half-hidden.

The village chief patted his hand directly on the door: "Dagen, are you at home?" ”

At this time, Gu Zhang was sitting on a small wooden bench, fiddling with the soil and potions to be used in the ground, as well as the medicinal materials to strengthen the body.

In order to cover up the part that was redeemed from the system, Gu Zhang put all the things he got from the mountains together, and it looked like a big spread.

When he heard a knock on the door, he recognized it as the village chief's voice and shouted, "There are people in the house, come in." ”

The village chief was not polite and pushed the door open.

As soon as the two of them entered, they saw Gu Zhang's little person, sitting on a small wooden bench with his back to the door, and his front was full of mud and herbs.

Of course, they didn't know the herbs, so they subconsciously thought it was the rumored wild vegetables.

Gu Zhang turned around and said hello: "Village chief, master, my father is at home." ”

As soon as he turned around, the village chief and Zhao Fuzi both saw the mud on his hands.

It's normal for village children to have mud on their hands.

But combined with the current situation, the village chief and Zhao Fuzi both had the same idea in their hearts - the rumors can't be true, right?

The Gu family doesn't plan to let the children go to school, so they will start helping the family work now, and when they are two years old, will they go directly to the field?

Zhao Fuzi thought of Gu Zhang's performance in the school these days, and felt sour in his heart, he studied so hard, he should not want to give up.

At this time, Gu Dagen came out of the house.

He was dressed in a new dark blue dress, with a smile on his face, and pulled the hem of his clothes and said, "This dress is really good, good-looking!" ”

There was a smile on his face, and the pride and satisfaction were overflowing.

On one side is the new clothes with a smile on the face, and on the other side is the little cabbage sitting on the small bench and working hard, looking pitiful.

The impact of the contrast was too strong, coupled with the recent gossip in the village, the preconceived village chief and Zhao Fuzi were both carried away by anger, and a burst of blood and qi surged.

"Gu Dagen!" The village chief shouted.

Gu Dagen is proud, this is a new dress bought by his son and made by his daughter-in-law!

When he saw the two people standing in the courtyard, he also pulled his clothes, and said with pride on his face: "Village chief, my clothes look good, right?" It's comfortable and cool to wear, and the color also sets me off. ”

Gu Dagen didn't want to mention how comfortable he felt in his heart, he couldn't help but want to show off, and he was about to say the last sentence, "My little stone was bought for me!" ”

As a result, he was slapped heavily on the back.

The village chief also worked in the field, and his hand strength was not small, Gu Dagen gasped in pain: "Village chief, what are you doing beating me?" ”

Gu Dagen was aggrieved, he was beaten for no reason, and he still couldn't fight back!

The village chief said angrily: "How can you be a father like this!" ”

Gu Dagen's eyes suddenly widened wider than that of a cow, isn't his father very good? Little Stone doesn't know how much he likes him.

"What's wrong with me?"

Seeing his unconvinced look, the village chief was furious: "You still have the face to ask!" ”

How can there be such a father? He put on new clothes, and instructed Little Stone to be a doll and sit on a small bench to wash the mud on the wild vegetables.

When Gu Zhang heard that he still had something to do with him, he felt that there must be a misunderstanding.

Hurriedly stepped forward, relying on the small number of people, he directly got into the gap between the two, and shouted crisply: "Village chief." ”

The rest of the Gu family also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the fight.

Doorway.

Mrs. Wang was coming over with her daughter-in-law, carrying a basket of leftover wild vegetables.

I just heard the commotion inside, and my wrinkled face was full of curiosity.

After listening curiously for a while, he quickly stuffed the basket in his hand to his daughter-in-law: "You go back with this, I still have some problems." ”

She's going to find someone to talk to!

Mrs. Wang took small steps, with excitement on her face, and ran away as soon as she slipped away.

In the yard.

The atmosphere is somewhat subtle and awkward.

The village chief touched his nose, and was very annoyed by the rumor-monger, who was really full and had nothing to do.

Zhao Fuzi was also secretly glad in his heart that he didn't have time to speak just now.

He stood up and said, "I'm here for Little Rock's schooling. ”

Qiu Niang hurriedly smiled and invited the person inside, and poured water: "I'm tired of Master Zhao, you have a trip, if the little stone is not well-behaved, you just have to teach a lesson." ”

Gu Zhang: !

Gu Zhang knew that his mother was telling the truth, and Qiu Niang felt sorry for him everywhere else, but he never relaxed about studying, for fear that he would cut off the last way to live.

Gu Zhang looked at Master Zhao, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary these days!

The misunderstanding is solved, why do you still have to talk to his mother about studying?

Maybe it was the teacher's natural suppression of the students, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Zhao Fuzi opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Shi has finished studying three hundred thousand, and he has been consolidated very solidly these days, I wonder if you have the idea of sending him to the county seat to study?" ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he drew a big pie: "I see that Xiaoshi has a good talent, if he works hard and continues to study, he may be able to come back with a meritorious name." ”

Hear the words.

The expressions of everyone present were bright and vivid.

For the Gu family, even if it is just to take the test and come back, it is better than the best path that can be thought of. Their family originally had no money, but now they don't have the income of Bupleurum? It's not that you can't afford it!

For the village chief, he is not only the village chief, but also the patriarch of the Gu family.

Only Gu Zhang's face was dark.

These days, he can say that he can let himself go in other places, and he can only study in the school and attend classes honestly.

Zhao Fuzi stabbed him in the back!

The adults discussed it happily, and finally Master Zhao made a final decision: "That's it, I'll teach the four books first, and lay a foundation for the little stone, so that when I send it to the county seat to study, it won't be too difficult to keep up." ”

"I don't need to buy books for the time being, I can memorize them wherever I have them, but I need to prepare some pen and ink."

The Gu family was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Master Zhao."

"Let's go buy pen and ink."

"I'm sorry for your trouble."

A misunderstanding caused by rumors is now very happy.

Gu Zhang: The world in which he is the only one injured has been achieved.

Gu Zhang clenched his little fists, who spread this rumor?

Killed!

The small system secretly popped up, looking at Zhao Fuzi, Gu Dagen, and Qiu Niang, their eyes had already turned into star eyes, as if they had seen a life-saving benefactor!

It is four points away from the minimum payment amount.

But the host didn't have the idea of doing the task at all, and after the second task was released, he didn't even click on it to read it.

It was so anxious that it was about to cry.

At this moment, it hurriedly pulled out the task.

[Mission: Read through the Analects and complete it to earn 20 points.] 】

[Task: Practice 20 words and get 20 points for completion.] 】

The system was so happy that it rolled.

The last task was completed by rubbing Zhao Fuzi's homework, and this time it must be hurried.

When the debt is paid off, it will increase the difficulty of the task, hehe, the system will feel happy to fly when he thinks about the future.

Gu Zhang: ......

Even the simple and easy to deceive fool melon will make up for it.

The joy of this little fool is about to overflow the screen.

Is this considered a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied?

Gu Zhang asked, "Don't you need me to accept this task?" ”

If he had to, he would have refused.

After all, happiness will not disappear, it will only be transferred to him from the little fool.

The system smugly: "No, after binding, the task without punishment does not need to be accepted by the host~"

Its voice was so happy that it was about to float.

A black line appeared on Gu Zhang's forehead.

Misguided.

Does he want to look at the yellow calendar, today is definitely not appropriate.

***

Following.

Qiu Niang hurriedly took Gu Zhang to the county seat.

When it comes to studying, she has never procrastinated.

After entering the county seat, the two went straight to the bookstore.

Soon the pen and ink were chosen, Qiu Niang began to bargain with Xiao Er, you come and go, it's not lively.

Gu Zhang held his little hands behind his back and walked around the bookstore.

He knew that the imperial examination must be crossed by thousands of troops and horses, and if he wanted to have results, he would definitely have to endure hardships, but he didn't know much about the Four Books and Five Classics, so he just took a look at it at this time.

In the bookstore, the four books and five classics are placed in the most conspicuous position, and they are still put together.

Gu Zhang pretended to be interested and flipped through casually, "University", "The Mean", "Analects", "Mencius", ......

Based on the thickness and the number of words per page, he wanted to get a rough estimate.

Soon, he figured it out.

The four books and five classics are taken together, and they all have at least four or five hundred thousand words.

According to Zhao Fuzi, the Xuanzhao imperial examination, the simplest child, is to test the memorization and comprehension of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In other words, the simplest hurdle of the imperial examination must also be read and memorized by about 500,000 words.

Realizing this, Gu Zhang gasped.

500,000 words!

Read and memorize!!

Thinking about it, his head hurts, and he still doesn't want to do such stupid things.

Gu Zhang walked around the block where the Four Books and Five Classics were placed, and his eyes were attracted by a copy of the "Classic of Materia Medica".

He clearly had an easy path to follow.

His dream should be to be a leisurely landlord, how can it be the imperial examination? Derpy melons are definitely not reliable.

He remembers that in the documentary he had watched, before the end of the day, there was a kind of person called "Guangdong landlord", which was said to be a profession that was envied by many people, living a relaxed life, living happily by collecting rent, and eating and drinking well every day.

Judging from the current situation, the land rent is even much higher than the rent-to-sale ratio, if he can be a landlord, wouldn't it be beautiful?

He thought about it, relying on his understanding of plants, he slowly hoarded funds first, and when his body was well exercised later, he could also go to find rare medicinal materials, travel all over the world by the way, and eat all over the world.

Wherever there is land and plants, he can make money there.

The money you earn is used to buy land, and if you don't want to play, you can collect rent at home, and be happy!

"Little stone, what are you holding in your hand?" Qiu Niang cut the price she liked and turned back to her son.

Gu Zhang came back to his senses, looked down, and still held the "Materia Medica" in his hand

He suddenly thought that he was suffering from no good reason, and the mountains of medicinal herbs could not be used, but the book in his hand was not a ready-made reason?

He made a mysterious expression and whispered, "Mother, I'll tell you later." ”

Qiu Niang smiled: "Okay, my mother is not in a hurry." ”

When he got out of the bookstore and went to no one's place, Gu Zhang used the book just now as a cover, he leaned into Qiu Niang's ear and whispered:

"Mother, the book I just took is about the concoction of medicinal herbs, and I feel that there is the one in the book on our mountain."

She couldn't believe it: "That's what the book says? ”

She couldn't read, and she didn't pay attention to what book Gu Zhang was holding just now.

Gu Zhang was confident: "There is everything in the book. ”

Qiu Niang suddenly smiled, and couldn't help but rub Gu Zhang's face: "My little stone is really smart and blessed!" ”

A flush appeared on Gu Zhang's face.

Qiu Niang smiled and touched his head: "Still shy?" ”

Qiu Niang was full of happiness and looked forward to the future, she said: "If it can really be done, Xiaoshi just wants to take the exam again, and our family can afford it." ”

Gu Zhang's smile froze.

It was as if he was shooting himself in the foot.

But you can't afford not to make money, right?
