Chapter 128
Gaoling Village
"It's early in the morning, and the magpies have been chattering non-stop on this tree branch, and I don't know what's going on today." Gu Sanbu looked up at the tree again, his tone full of expectation.
"Father, the magpie is probably tired from flying, so it stopped here.
What kind of happy event can we have in the backcountry? "Dai Ling is cleaning up the soil in the corner of the courtyard, preparing to plant the orchid grass that Gu Shulin dug from the hillside.
"That's not necessarily true. Since we settled here, although we've been a little tired, at least we have something to look forward to. Aren't these happy events?"
Gu Sanbu summoned his grandson Gu Yi, "Xiao Yi, are you six years old this year?"
Gu Yi, "Grandpa, I'm already seven years old."
"Really?" Gu Sanbu stroked his grandson's head, "You have also suffered a lot these years, do you want to enter a private school?"
Gu Yi lowered his head, and soon raised his smiling face again, "Grandpa, I have learned a lot from my father, and I have learned more than half of the thousand-character prose."
Gu Sanbu stroked his beard and nodded cheerfully, "Okay, but your father is only a boy at most, if you really want to learn well, you have to ask a high teacher, wait for the work in the field to finish, I will let your father come to Go around and ask around to see if there is a private school that is closer, we can't delay it."
Dai Ling stood up straight in shock, "Father, is what you said true?"
Gu Sanbu, "Of course it's true, if it weren't for the drought, we Xiaoyi would have entered a private school a long time ago.
If our family had a little bit of fame at that time, we wouldn't be reduced to this. "
Dai Ling pursed her lips quietly, and the father-in-law was just fantasizing here. It's not like they haven't met a scholar and are fleeing along the way.
It's just that these scholars all have small fortunes, and they all drove away in one step in a horse-drawn cart and ox cart.
"Uncle patriarch, it's terrible, something serious happened!" Gu Kaishan rushed in without knocking on the door.
Gu Sanbu's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly, "What happened?"
"Good thing, great thing," Gu Kaishan was bouncing around in the yard, "Our seventh nephew was selected as a scholar, and just now the yamen servant in the county came to announce the good news. It is said that he is still No.1. What is his name?"
"That's called the head of the case," Gu Sanbu's voice was trembling, "You're right, it's really Gu Qi?"
"This is absolutely true, how dare I lie about such a big matter?
If you don't believe me, you can go to the entrance of the village to have a look. Those yamen servants are standing outside the door of the old seventh nephew's house, but the young couple haven't come back yet. Everyone asked me to come and find you to take charge of the overall situation. "
The grandson next to Gu Sanbu ran out in big strides, "Have you informed Dashi and the others?"
Gu Kaishan, "Notice, Heizi has gone to call."
The old man smiled as he walked, "Okay, okay, this fame came at the right time."
In this newly established village, although most of them are from the ancient family, there are also some other families who joined in later. These people are connecting together and want to compete for the position of village head.
Now that Gu Wenheng can win the title of scholar and is the top case again, those people should stop.
Before reaching the entrance of the village, I saw Gu Dashi and Li Cuicui running over in a hurry.
"Dashi, what a good son you have raised!"
Gu Dashi's face was filled with trembling, "This kid is really uplifting, and he will bring honor to the family by doing so quietly."
Knowing the virtue of this ancient stone, Gu Sanbu took the lead and hurried towards the entrance of the village, "Have you prepared the bounty?"
"Reward money?" Gu Dashi stopped suddenly, "Why do you want to give money?"
Gu Kaishan said, "Brother Dashi, you don't even understand this bit of sophistication, do you? I sent my uncle so far to come here, and you don't have to pay for your hard work.
What's more, for such a big good event, people also want to make it auspicious, which is indispensable. "
Li Cuicui touched her pocket, her expression turned ugly, "I'm really not prepared, then I'll go back and get it."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Sanbu, "I still have two silver coins here, you can use them first, and return them to me later."
"What? Do you want silver coins?" Gu Dashi exclaimed again, making everyone present couldn't help but frown.
Even Liu Heizi, who had always thought nothing of it, looked at Gu Dashi with incredulous eyes.
Feeling that the others were not happy, Gu Dashi said nonchalantly, "It's enough to give a few copper coins. Isn't it too much to pay Yinjiao after a trip?"
Li Cuicui took Yinjiao, "Thank you third uncle, I will send you home when I get back."
Gu Dashi wanted to speak, but Li Cuicui glared at him, "Shut up if you don't know what's going on. If you dare to mess with me on this great day, then no one will feel better about it."
Gu Dashi thought of this woman's great achievements in the past, but still didn't have the guts to challenge, so he shrank his neck and followed everyone silently.
Outside the house at the entrance of the village, Gu Wenheng and the others were not at home, so everyone could only block the gate.
"Here we come," someone said with sharp eyes, seeing a few people walking at a high speed all the way, as if they had found their backbone.
"Didn't the key to Lao Qi's house be handed over to you?" Gu Sanbu glanced at the closed courtyard door, turned around and asked.
Gu Dashi, "Who knows, they didn't tell me when they went out, and we can't let them ask for it."
Li Cuicui pulled Gu Dashi behind him to prevent him from continuing to embarrass himself, "Master, the young couple of them moved to the city to learn more, why don't you take a rest at our house first."
"Are you Gu Xiucai's parents?" Yacha waited for confirmation, and offered the good news in both hands, "Congratulations, your son is the chief case this time, and the county magistrate specially asked us to come here to announce the good news."
Li Cuicui took the good news with trembling hands, and she didn't forget to put the broken silver in his hand into the other party's hand, "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work, big brother."
"Since the good news has been delivered, we can go back and return to our orders and say goodbye." Seeing the broken silver in his hand, the smile on the Yamen's face was even more sincere. He finally got the job, and it seemed that he really didn't run in vain.
Gu Sanbu excitedly opened the newsletter, shouting repeatedly, "Open the ancestral hall, open the ancestral hall."
Everyone fell into silence, why didn't they want to open the ancestral hall.
Gu Sanbu suddenly shed two lines of tears, "I'm sorry ancestor!"
At this time, Gu Shulin came over to support the old man, "Father, we can rebuild, and build a Gu family ancestral hall that belongs to us here."
"Yes, let's rebuild the ancestral hall. Although Gu Kaishan is stubborn, I am willing to do my part. Whether it is money, people, or effort, I am bound to do it."
"Brat, you are the only one who can show your abilities," Gu Datian slapped him on the back directly, "This is a major event in our Gu family, everyone will do their best, everyone agrees?"
"That's right, count me in."
