Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Wenxuan did not hide anything from his father, Gu Erzhu, but he was vague and did not specify what he wanted to say about the small head and the big head.

The matter of his daughter-in-law being divided into two parts to pay the internal and external accounts to the eldest young lady of the Gaofu family is a private matter belonging to him and his wife, so it's okay not to mention it.

But it was enough for Gu Erzhu to hear the implication. The old daughter-in-law was not stupid, and the old son was even less stupid. He had already taken care of many things without saying a word.

That's good, because I'm afraid that my old son will become stupid while studying, and he won't hear what's going on outside the window, and he will only read the books of sages. When things come out, he will be dumbfounded.

By that time, he and his wife are no longer alive, and it will really be a joke.

Fortunately, my son is much better than me.

"If dad gets confused one day, remember to wake him up.

In front of his father, he behaved in such a way that he did not blame his father.

In the early years, Dad always felt that your grandfather was my father, and he could still be my son if I didn't obey him.

Growing up, your father dared to say that everything was going well for your grandparents, so he refused to listen to them and married your mother, waiting for the year when your mother entered the family and gave birth to your eldest brother.

Once, your mother and father said that your grandfather was happy when he saw Da Lang beating your brother to tears.

Dad was still thinking about how old the child would be and how strong he would be.

Your grandma was right, your mother will be different after giving birth to a son.

It’s not that I have straightened my waist, it’s that I want to live my own life and leave my parents-in-law behind. "

Thinking of the past, Gu Erzhu laughed to himself, "At that time, I never thought that in your mother's mind, the eldest nephew was just dad's eldest nephew.

As a daughter-in-law, she has no control over the money earned by her father. She can only hand it over for your uncle to study. But as her son, she cannot bear to see your grandfather's partiality.

Looking back now, maybe your mother realized that your father didn't take it seriously at all, so she took your brother with her wherever she went, and taught your brother to protect you when you were born.

But is your mother wrong?

As far as she is concerned, you three brothers and sisters are her lifeblood. Who can blame her for deliberately not letting you and Dalang get closer?
All I can say is that it’s dad’s fault. He was too obedient to your grandparents. In the end, he didn’t have anything left for you two brothers, and even delayed you—”

"Dad!" Gu Wenxuan interrupted with disapproval, "You are already the best father in the world. If you continue, my son will kneel down and cry for you."

"..." Gu Erzhu rolled his eyes at his old son, shook his head and walked forward with his hands behind his back, "You really don't need to prepare much for the apprenticeship ceremony. Do you want to add more?"

The topic changed, and his father became shy. Gu Wenxuan secretly laughed, "No, you don't have to be too rich to prepare gifts. A young and noble person like him won't accept them."

The next day.

Zhou House.

Gu Wenxuan originally thought that the exam was over, and the next step was for the examiner and subordinate officials to review.

In other words, the government officials including Mr. Tongzhi Qian could not come. There should not be many disciples attending the ceremony today, but unexpectedly there were still many people coming.

Among them was an old man in his sixties, with white beard and hair and a thin face. He was wearing a dark blue robe and tied his hair with a wooden hairpin.

A middle-aged man is not tall and has white hair in his hair, but he looks rich. When he sits, an oval-shaped belly is faintly visible on his belly.

There is also a tall and strong middle-aged man with a Chinese character face who looks like a military commander, and the third master of the Gaofu family whom he has met twice.

After being introduced, Gu Wenxuan found out that the old man was the headmaster of Jingshan Academy and Zhou Huan's uncle.

The middle-aged man who is rich and looks like a military commander is Senior Brother Zhou Huan.

Although Baocheng lacks the famous Gulian Academy in history, it has a well-known Jingshan Academy outside the city.

Just like many academies in ancient times were far away from the busy city, because many Confucian scholars and officials liked to be in the quiet and leisurely nature. Jingshan Academy is also built on the mountain.

The entire academy is low in front and high in back, with layers upon layers, surrounded by green hills and covered by trees. It is said to have a history of a hundred years.

In Gu Wenxuan's memory, he was lucky enough to pass by a row of long stairs in front of the academy gate, and saw that at the end of the stairs was the academy gate, and no one was allowed to enter in front of the gate.

As for the wealthy middle-aged people and the middle-aged people who looked like military generals, as Gu Wenxuan guessed, one was the governor who abandoned literature and joined the army, and the other was the eldest son of the mountain chief who claimed to be incompetent.

When they came this time, in addition to witnessing Zhou Huan's acceptance of a disciple, they also came to congratulate Zhou Huan and Zhou Shun on becoming brothers. The latter was something that even Zhou Shun himself didn't know about.

After the apprenticeship ceremony in the main hall, Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang went to the backyard to meet their master.

When they got to the backyard, they heard Mrs. Zhou mention that she originally wanted to adopt Zhou Banxia as her daughter. Even Zhou Banxia, ​​who had been accompanying several ladies in the backyard, realized that her father had now become her master's second brother.

The reason is very simple, it still takes advantage of someone with the surname Zhou.

Zhou Huan felt that there was no need to do anything extra. Just a niece, how different it was from a daughter.

On the contrary, in the name of niece, he could avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, and he was worried that Gao Fu would look down on his niece, so he directly became brothers with Zhoushun.

Zhou Banxia didn't know whether the senior high school lady present understood this meaning, but Mrs. Qian, judging from the way Mrs. Qian hugged her and smiled, she had understood.

Indeed, Mrs. Qian was overjoyed that Zhou Banxia had such an uncle.

Since the senior high school wife was present, she couldn't say much.

When the banquet was over and she was about to say goodbye, Zhou Banxia sent her out and reminded her softly that a teacher is the same as a father.

Zhou Banxia guessed that Mrs. Qian's words meant that it was the best arrangement to remind her now.

For a woman to rely on her natal family as a supporter and accept her as her daughter, it would be better for her two younger brothers to gain an uncle justifiably.

Moreover, except for Dajiang who has already become his uncle's disciple, even Xiaohe doesn't need her to plan hard.

She thanked Mrs. Qian for always giving her private guidance.

Zhou Banxia smiled and nodded again to show her understanding, but at the same time, she thought that they didn't owe her anything.

Just when she thought this, when all the guests had left, and it was a good elder who had given her such a gift, Mrs. Zhou, the aunt, wanted to give her something belonging to her master again.

"...You don't want those things, just put them away for now. But your master's dowry, your master has his last words first. Be obedient and keep it for your children."

The dowry that Mrs. Zhou was talking about was the dowry that the court returned to her master's parents after the Zhou family was rehabilitated. She was the eldest daughter who once ran the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There is a lot of dowry.

Don't say that her master has nothing to do in his life, there are still people in the Zhou family.

Due to emotions and reasons, she would not be the heir, so she would definitely return to the Zhou family.

Besides, why did her master have any last words?

She still doesn't know it's all fiction.

The letter left by her master didn't mention anything about dowry at all.

Her master himself was an extremely arrogant person. Otherwise, how could a well-to-do rich lady secretly learn embroidery from a master at a young age?
Isn't it just that she is very confident that she can one day look down on men without relying on life experience or dowry? It's just a fate.

Dare you accept her as a disciple? !
