The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 714: Ethnology
The purpose of Gu Changbai's return this time is to find a way to get Gu Changqing to go to the capital, so that he can live in Gu's mansion logically.

Unexpectedly, Gu Changqing's family happened to have such a plan, so it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Third brother! I don't see any elders in Xiaobao's mansion in the capital, so you should follow along."

After Gu Changbai finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Chengyu, but Gu Chengyu didn't even look back.Do you think you can live in his mansion if you encourage his parents to go to the capital?

I have to say, it's really naive.One day he doesn't want to play anymore, and there are plenty of ways to clean them up.

"The capital city must be very prosperous, right? It's just too far away. It's not easy to go back to the hometown after going to the capital city." The farthest place Uncle Gu has been to is Fucheng. He can't imagine how far the capital city is.

Gu Chengyu then turned around and said with a smile: "Uncle! In the future, if Brother Hua is admitted as a scholar or a scholar, you can also go to the capital to enjoy the blessings!"

Uncle Gu pinned his hopes on Gu Wanhua, saying this would make Uncle Gu happier than directly inviting Uncle Gu to the capital.

It's a pity that Uncle Gu didn't show any joy when he heard it this time, but sighed slightly.His face was even more gloomy, and he could tell that something was bothering him at a glance.

Gu Chengyu guessed that something happened to Gu Wanhua.He thought of the little concubine Gu Wanhuana had before, who seemed to be named Yanbi, could it be that he was distracted and didn't want to take the imperial examination?

"Second brother, you and your siblings have just come back, so your luggage must not be packed yet. Let's talk about the old days after you settle down first."

Uncle Gu lost the interest he had just now, he stood up and said to Gu Changbai.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu pricked up her ears. What does this mean?Does the uncle mean by saying that he wants to keep him at her house?
But where does her family have a place to live?I'm afraid it's inconvenient to live in her yard, right?

There are only two side rooms next to the main room, and Xiaobao slept in one, Gu Changbai and his wife couldn't sleep in the other one, right?That always felt a little awkward.

"Oh! Second brother, you said you are staying at the third brother's house, or should you go back with me?" Uncle Gu remembered that now the third brother's family has been divided, and the originally spacious yard is now separated, so it is not as spacious as before.

Although Dafang doesn't live here, the house is locked and there are some sundries piled inside.

Of course Gu Changbai would not go to the eldest brother's house, isn't the purpose of his coming back to be the third brother's family?
Besides, he had already asked about the general situation of the Gu family just now. The real wealth of the Gu family was only Sanfang, and the eldest brother only made a small living in his family. How could he compare with Sanfang?
"My previous luggage has been moved into the yard, this? Look"

Gu Changbai couldn't speak directly, otherwise he would be suspected of despising his elder brother.Besides, if Gu Changqing didn't open his mouth, he was too embarrassed to directly say to stay, right?

Everyone else in the room understood Gu Changbai's unfinished meaning.

Although Uncle Gu was a little unhappy when he said this, but since the second brother said so, he couldn't force it.

Besides, the third brother's family is well-off, and the second brother's life in the third brother's house is indeed better than his family, and it saves the mother-in-law to go back and mutter.

Papa Gu felt a little strange in his heart. Shouldn't he just go to someone's house for such a thing?
He didn't have time to speak, why did the second brother decide?However, he didn't think much about it afterwards, the three of them were brothers, and it didn't matter which house they lived in.

Although the house in his house is not very spacious, it's not that there are no vacancies for the elders. When the time comes, let the elder clean up one room for them to live in.

Besides, there are also guest rooms in the front yard, but the rooms in the inner yard are not as spacious.

"Brother! Let the second brother live here! Our yard is more spacious than yours, and it saves us from moving our luggage around."

When Gu Changbai saw that Old Gu opened his mouth, a smile finally appeared on his face.

Although Gu Chengyu disliked Gu Changbai living in, he couldn't stop him.

It seems that Gu Changbai has to find an opportunity to talk to his parents about the purpose of Gu Changbai's return, lest they be tricked by Gu Changbai.

"Little Treasure! Uncle will call a few clansmen to talk to you about the banquet tomorrow. The archway for the number one scholar has already been erected for you. You will become an official in the capital after being admitted to the number one scholar. We can't wait any longer."

Gu Chengyu nodded, it doesn't matter about erecting the archway, anyway, it will be the same sooner or later.

"You have to open an ancestral hall while you are still at home, so that you have to tell your ancestors about the glory of your ancestors."

Uncle Gu thought about it, and Gu Chengyu really had a lot of things after he came back.

"Uncle! I can only stay at home for a month or so before I have to go back to Beijing. It's better to keep things simple."

"So urgent? When you come back, there will naturally be more people visiting. I'm afraid this month will be very busy."

Uncle Gu still understands these ways of the world. When Gu Chengyu comes back this time, those classmates and friends will be able to meet, right?There is also the master who has to pay a visit.

Although the status is different now, respecting the teacher still has to be followed.

Of course Gu Chengyu knew that he had already made plans before he came back, and there were quite a lot of things to do when he came back this time.

"Uncle! I heard earlier that the Yang family in our village ran a small private school, and our Gu family would also run one. There is no need for a private school, so let's run an ethnology school!"

Because the Yang family had run a private school in the village before, and the children in the nearby villages all went to Yang's private school, Gu Chengyu didn't think about running an ethnology school.

But now the rules in the clan have changed, and besides, he plans to buy some more land for the clan so that the children can go to school.

Giving money to other people's private schools, it's better to run one at home, the teacher invited by the home is more at ease.If you are not satisfied, you can change your wife.

"Ethnology?" Papa Gu was a little surprised. There was a private school in the village, so why do you want to run an ethnology?
But Uncle Gu has some knowledge. He heard that those big families have ethnology.It would be great if the Gu family could have ethnology, but I don't know if the fields in the clan can support the expenses of ethnology.

"Of course it's good to have ethnology, but it's enough to have those [-] acres of land." Uncle Gu sat down again and made up his mind. If all the children of the Gu family came to study, it would definitely not be enough.

If you just pick a few smart and clever ones, that should be enough.

Gu Chengyu knew that Uncle Gu was in trouble. He originally added ten acres of land to the clan when he was admitted as a scholar, and then added another twenty acres to the clan when he was admitted to Juren, so it was thirty acres of land.

The life of the clansmen is not rich, if they have to pay for their children's schooling, they must be really reluctant.

If the family can avoid Shuxiu and help with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the adults in the family should be willing to do so.

"Uncle! I will add another [-] acres of land to the clan, so it shouldn't be too little, right?"

Gu Chengyu did this also for the prosperity of the clan. If there is a child who can earn money by studying, then he has done a good deed for the clan.
