The bad brother-in-law's grades are so poor, it is not easy to get the first place in the entrance examination, Xiao Jingkong decided to praise the bad brother-in-law after going back.
As a result, when he got home, he found that he didn't need to praise himself at all. There were many people in the room! All the people who came to say congratulations to the bad brother-in-law!
Look, what he said is right, bad brother-in-law's grades are poor, so everyone is pleasantly surprised at the first test!
Xiao Qingkong, who knew nothing about the gold content of Xie Yuan, decided to withdraw his praise.
When all the people in the room left, Xiao Jingkong found Xiao Liulang who was packing things in the Westinghouse.
Xiao Liulang looked at the little guy with his hands behind his back and looked like a little adult, and asked him, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Yeah." Xiao Jingkong nodded solemnly, with his little hands behind his back, he looked like a teacher in the class, and even spoke in a similar tone, "You have listened to the praise all day, so I won't say more. If you hear too much praise, you will be proud, you have to be humble and study harder, or you will be laughed at if you don’t take the first test next time!”
Xiao Liulang looked at him: "Who is laughing? Are you?"
Xiao Jingkong hummed: "I'm not that boring! You can't support your family if you can't take the first test, and I haven't grown up yet!"
Xiao Liulang said with a half-smile, "Didn't you say that it doesn't matter if I fail the exam?"
The small headroom suddenly jammed.
Xiao Liulang said: "Did you remember?"
"No, you remembered it wrong! I never said such a thing!" Xiao Jingkong resolutely exercised the privilege of a child: Defend!
This is the knowledge he learned in Mengxue, and it was taught to him by his little friend at the same table all day!
Then Xiao Qingkong quickly shifted his position and went to find Gu Jiao to be her little tail!
During dinner, Gu Jiao talked about Xiao Liulang going to the Imperial College to study at the dinner table.
"Aren't you going?" the old lady asked.
Gu Jiao said solemnly, "What am I going to do? I don't study, I'm not curious about the capital, not at all!"
Everyone looked at her in disbelief, and they didn't know who was crying and singing to go to the capital that night, hehe.
Gu Jiao is inseparable from home. It can be done in a day or two. Xue Ningxiang can stand it. After a long time, it will kill people.
In the end, the family unanimously decided to go to the capital together.
"However, can a Lu Yin take our family?" Gu Jiao didn't want to miss any of them.
"One is not enough." Xiao Liulang said, "but there is also Feng Lin. With his, we should be able to go to Beijing."
Liu Guanshi thought that the wishful thinking was a good idea, but he didn't know that he was put together by Xiao Liulang.
Guozijian starts school at the end of October, and it is September now, so we must hurry up and get on the road.
Gu Jiao gave Luo Lizheng the matter of opening the mountain. Luo Lizheng didn't read much, but he still knew the words. Besides, his son also went to Tongsheng. He could understand the drawings and plans left by Gu Jiao. .
There is nothing valuable at home, all of which are books of Liu Lang, Xue Ningxiang said that she will help take care of it.
"By the way, Uncle Gouwa is also in the capital. If you go there and help me meet him, I'll bring him something!"
"it is good."
Gu Jiao responded.
Xiao Liulang went to Tianxiang Academy and private school to withdraw from school for his three younger brothers.
Gu Yan doesn't like going to school, so I'm so happy to be able to drop out!
Gu Xiaoshun was in the academy only to learn the characters that could be engraved on wood carvings. In fact, he could learn it with Xiao Jingkong.
As for Xiao Jingkong, his level has not been able to find a suitable class in the private school, and if he jumps up a grade, he will be a class specializing in imperial examinations.
Guozijian has Mongolian school, and there are many young geniuses from Zhao Kingdom in Mongolian school. Xiao Liulang feels that Xiaojingkong is more suitable there.
Xiao Liulang also went to Dean Li to say hello.
Dean Li was in a complicated mood. He was looking forward to Xiao Liulang going to Beijing to take the exam every day.
He sighed: "Forget it, no matter where you go, you are always the master's apprentice."
Xiao Liulang hesitated.
As for the matter of apprentice, I am afraid that you will not be able to fulfill your wish for the rest of your life.
"Speaking of which, I should have had a junior brother in the capital." Dean Li suddenly said, "It's a pity that he died young, and I didn't even have a chance to meet him."
Xiao Liulang glanced at him lightly, walked out of the Zhongzheng Hall, and sneezed loudly!
Gu Jiao took Xiao Jingkong to a temple.
Xiao Jingkong said goodbye to the abbot, abbot, brothers and friends one by one.
I didn't see the master and his old man.
However, it is a habit to have a small headroom, and it is almost difficult for the old master to be in the temple all year round.
"Are you going out too?" asked the little monk Jingfan.
Four little monks were sitting on the steps of the temple, each holding a bunch of vegetarian meatballs made by Gu Jiao.
Xiao Jingkong took a bite of the balls and sighed: "Yes, the bad brother-in-law has been admitted to the Imperial College, and our whole family will go to school with him. But why do you say that?"
Jingfan smiled and said, "Because we are going to travel far! The abbot is going to take us to the Dharma Conference!"
"Oh." Xiao Jingkong was actually a little moved, but this might be the price of going down the mountain. With Jiaojiao, he was destined to give up something.
In his heart, Jiaojiao was the most important thing!
Gu Jiao brought a lot of delicacies, in addition to vegetarian meatballs, vegetarian roast duck, vegetarian Dongpo elbows, and two boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from Li Ji.
The four little monks spent the afternoon happily.
Gu Jiao also went to the medical center to say goodbye to Er Dong's family, but was told by shopkeeper Wang that something had happened to the Hu family, and he had already returned to Beijing.
That may be seen in Beijing.
Gu Jiao went to Dean Li's house and brought some mountain goods and hawthorn cakes to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was still confused, but her complexion was much better.
The servant said that when Mrs. Li was awake, she said that she had a grandson, and she was very happy!
Hot Spring Villa.
After being raised for a few days, Master Gu finally healed the wounds on his face and body. He went to Yao's yard to find Yao's.
Yao shi is instructing the servants to pack up.
Lord Gu was taken aback: "Madam, what are you doing? Are you not living in the villa? Are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I have to go." Yao shi nodded.
Master Gu panicked, stepped forward and took Yao Shi's hand: "I was wrong! I will never bully that girl again! I will not separate the two of them! You are angry! Don't go!"
This time, Yao Shi was stunned: "Master Hou, what are you talking about? Who are you bullying
Gu Houye was flustered for a while!
"Master Hou!" Yao shi pulled back his hand in pain.
Lord Gu hurriedly denied it: "I didn't! I mean I plan to!"
Yao Shi was shocked: "You, are you still planning?"
Lord Gu shook his head like a rattle, and his cheeks waved in small ripples: "I... I can't, I can't now, I'll listen to you, don't go!"
Yao shi calmed down and said to Lord Gu: "How can I go back to the capital if I don't leave?"
Gu Hou Ye snorted: "Are you finally willing to go back? Have you figured it out? But Yan'er and... Cough, what about He Jiaojiao?"
Yao Shi did not smile.
The grandmother on the side said happily: "Master Hou, you probably don't know yet. Uncle Jie Yuan is in high school and is going to study at the Imperial College. The young master and the young lady will also go to Beijing with him."
Lord Gu was stunned for a moment, did he hear it right? Did that little lame get out of high school
He just scolded others for being unpromising, and they took a test for Jie Yuan to show him
What do you mean? To slap him in the face
Lord Gu pouted, how amazing is Xie Yuan from a small provincial capital? There are twenty or thirty Jie Yuan like him in the whole Zhao country, and he is probably the worst one among them!
However, it relieved his urgency.
If I don't go back to Beijing, I will be wronged Jinyu to go to the villa and hold the wedding ceremony!
Gu Jinyu also heard that Yao shi was packing her luggage. She happily came over to help Yao shi collect things, but unexpectedly overheard Yao shi's reason for agreeing to return to Beijing.
It was just because Gu Yan and Gu Jiao were going to the capital...
Gu Jinyu felt that something had pricked her heart.
The mother kept saying that she treated her as her own, but in the mother's heart, the most loved ones were always her own flesh and blood.
"Ah, that's right." Gu Houye suddenly thought that the son of the Gu family was also taking the town exam this year. What was the name of the child
Gu... Gu... Gu Shunzi? Gu Shunfeng
Gu Dashun!
"Did Gu Dashun pass the exam?" Lord Gu Hou asked.
Yao shi went to the yamen to read the list in person. She remembered the names on the list clearly, and there was no candidate surnamed Gu.
Aunt Fang sneered disdainfully: "Uncle is talking about the son of that family, right? I heard that he also went to the township for the test, but unfortunately he didn't even succeed in the examination! It's far worse than our uncle! There is something to say, Long Shenglong , Feng Shengfeng, the child born by the mouse will burrow! Except for the deceased Gu Saburo and his wife, they still want to win
This is a bit heavy, and it shouldn't be so rude in front of the master, but the family did treat Gu Jiao too much, so even the mild-mannered Yao Shi did not refute Fang's words.
Although Grandpa Gu was a little unhappy with the little lame man being held up so high by Fang, he also agreed with the rest of her words. The family was really hateful.
As for Gu Jinyu, Lord Gu has never regarded her as a member of the old Gu family, so she doesn't feel that she has been scolded at all.
Momma Fang didn't mean to scold Gu Jinyu either, only referring to those from the old Gu family.
However, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has intention.
Gu Jinyu's face flushed red, more embarrassing than being slapped by Gu Jiao in the street.
In the end, she didn't go in to help Yao shi check her luggage, but turned around with red eyes and went back to her room silently.
"Mother," Yao shi suddenly said in the room, "In the future, I'd better say less, and be careful to let Jin Yu listen. That child is sensitive, I'm afraid she will think too much."
"Yes, ma'am." Mother Fang bowed in response.
Yao shi looked at the three sets of clothes in the box, all of which she made by herself. After recognizing Jiaojiao, she was anxious to make up for Jiaojiao and ignored Jinyu.
She made these three sets of clothes for Jinyu.
Knowing that her daughter was uncomfortable with them, Yao shi didn't ask her to accompany her, but arranged for her daughter to go there with the best coachman and carriage from the Hou residence.
Gu Houye has no objection to this, after all, Gu Yan is weak and a good carriage can reduce bumps to a great extent.
Gu Jinyu sat in the bumpy carriage, feeling more and more that she had no weight in this family.
He gave her three sets of clothes, but gave Gu Jiao a carriage!
Gu Jinyu looked out the window, her face full of grievances.
On a sunny and sunny morning, Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang set foot on the road to the capital. Tiangong was considered beautiful. After a long journey of more than a month, the group arrived in the capital.
Feng Lin didn't go with them. He wanted to go home by water. Feng Lin's guide was in the hands of Xiao Liulang, and his aunt and Xiao Jingkong were registered on his guide.
He himself is a student of the Imperial College, and he can enter the city with the admission documents.
Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun are registered on Xiao Liulang's road guide. This school district road guide is different from ordinary road guides. They can bring their family members, but they can only bring two at most.
As for Gu Yan and the driver, they were originally from the capital.
It was still early when they entered the city, so they first went to the nearest inn, took a break to feed the horses, and also inquired about the residences in the capital.
On the way here, Gu Jiao discussed with Xiao Liulang and tried to live near the Guozijian to make it easier for him to go to school.
Kaishan spent some money, and now they have one thousand taels left. One thousand taels can buy several houses in the county, but it is impossible in the capital.
The best way is to rent.
It was also because they were lucky that the inn just happened to have a toothbrush.
Yabao, also known as guarantor, is similar to Gu Jiao’s intermediary in her previous life. They have registered in the yamen and can reasonably buy and sell servants, property, and livestock transactions.
The guarantor's surname was Zhang, and he was a young man in his early thirties.
When Zhang Baoren heard that they came to study at Guozijian, he immediately handed over his hands, showing a respectful look: "It turns out to be a student of Guozijian, so I can help with this! Don't worry, I will pay you the lowest price for any location you like. you!"
Gu Jiao was not familiar with the capital.
Xiao Liulang told her the approximate location of Guozijian, which is at the northeast corner of the junction of Chang'an Avenue and Xuanwu Street, which is closer to Chang'an Avenue. However, Chang'an Avenue is a commercial street and is heavily congested, so the two streets are actually similar.
Zhang Baoren was surprised: "Have you been to the capital, little brother? Are you familiar with the capital?"
