Chapter 948: Confucianism Can Be Taught

Wouldn't that mean the Gu family would be in a stronger position again? Old patriarch Zhou was very unwilling to accept this, but he had to admit that what old scholar Zhou said made sense.

Besides, Gu Jialiulang is the son-in-law of their Zhou family. If he passed the imperial examination, it would be an honor for their Zhou family. So let's just give him some credit.

The Zhou family gave such a good child like San Ya to the Gu family. Do you think the Gu family still dares to laugh at the Zhou family? Well, let's just leave it this way for now.

"Is Sanya about to give birth?"

Dajiang knew the answer to this question, but he was slow to reply before, and it was not convenient for him to answer it now, so he looked at his father and waited to hear what he had to say.

Zhou Sishun nodded and smiled, "It will be soon."

"You still haven't figured out whether it's a boy or a girl?"

You are anxious.

You are anxious again.

Mr. Zhou glanced at Mr. Zhou and laughed, "It's the same boy or girl. Look at our Dajiang, it blooms first and then bears fruit. It's the same as others."

"You're right, but if Sanya's baby is a boy, it'll be fine. With the blessing of our ancestors, our Zhou family will be different thanks to this child. Let this child give birth to a big fat boy first."

Dajiang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhou Sishun was also very amused. He also thought that his San Ya was pregnant with a boy. The huge family business would have someone to carry on, and his San Ya would have a peaceful life in the future.

However, his San Ya will not have to worry about giving birth to a daughter. No matter whether she looks like her third uncle or San Ya, the child will not be too bad.

Of course, it would be even better if it was a boy. Otherwise, his family has such a large fortune, and if they don't have a boy, how can they find a son-in-law for their daughter?

Some have headaches.

It’s a pity that even the midwife didn’t give a definite answer. It’s always “maybe”, “perhaps”. The baby is almost born and it’s still unclear whether it’s a boy or a girl. I spent a lot of money to hire her in vain.

Listen!

He was not the only one who felt this way. The child's grandfather, the patriarch of the family, also said that she was not a famous midwife in Jiangnan, so how come she still couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl.

But, what should be said should not be said. "Well, logically speaking, they should have a good idea in their hearts by now, but they just don't want to say it too early.

I was thinking that when the child is born, if it is a boy, everyone will be happy. And the third uncle always talks about his eldest daughter, his eldest daughter, right?"

Seeing Zhou Sishun shaking his head and laughing as he spoke, the old scholar Zhou who was sitting at the top couldn't help but laugh out loud. For a moment, the main room was filled with laughter.

Of course, the father always says that the baby must be his eldest daughter, so it would be a shame for the midwife to spoil the fun. It would be better for her to say nothing and wait until the baby is born to find out.

Stroking his long beard, Mr. Zhou shook his head and stood up first, saying that it was getting late, which was considered as an end to the gathering.

As the father and son of the Zhou clan leader urged everyone to eat before leaving, the group led by the old scholar Zhou and Mr. Zhou San quickly walked out of the main hall.

Afterwards, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou each led a small team, one small team went to the left, and the other small team went to the right.

Among the small team going to the left was Zhou Sishun. They were heading towards the end of the village - the home of Mr. Zhou. Zhou Sishun was supposed to escort Mr. Zhou home.

In addition to the uncle and nephew, the small team also included Zhou Chang'an from the second house and Zhou Changhan from the fourth house, who were in the same direction but some distance away from the end of the village.

After Zhou Chang'an and Zhou Changhan arrived at the door of their house one after another, the uncle and nephew had not taken a few steps when they were greeted by Zhou Changping, who had been left behind in the village school.

No need to ask. School is over.

The son has come to pick me up.

The further you go to the end of the village, the fewer residents there are. Unlike the area in the center of the village where each house and courtyard is close to each other, you will either see someone coming out of the front door or someone in the backyard greeting you.

In addition, at this time, there were even fewer pedestrians walking towards the end of the village, so Zhou Changping was not worried that someone would hear him if he spoke in a low voice.

He first asked Zhou Sishun if he was tired after the day.

"Fortunately, it's much better than when I was in the capital." After all, in his own territory, even if he said something wrong, he didn't have to worry as much as in the capital.

What's more, whether it's County Magistrate Cheng or County Magistrate Qian, they are half family, there is no discord between them, and they get along differently.

Even though Zhou Changping could not hear Zhou Sishun's unfinished words, he remembered how much his elder brother disliked socializing when they were in the Zhou Mansion in the capital.

"So, it's still necessary to go out. It's much more comfortable now, right? But I'm afraid there will be more days in the future when there are too many posts that give you a headache."

Zhou Sishun was terrified when he heard this, "It's too early. When there are more invitations to apply, we still have to see if Dajiang can pass the imperial examination. After passing the imperial examination, there is still the spring examination.

It will take at least ten years for Dajiang to become famous. By that time, Dajiang will be big enough to support the family business, and there will be no need for me to put on airs. "

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he glanced back at him and said, "Confucian scholars can be taught."

"My father praised you."

Are you praising me?
Why doesn't it sound similar?

"Hehe..." Zhou Sishun laughed, "What are you praising me for? I am just blessed by my child. I am useless, so if uncle doesn't scold me, it is a compliment to me."

"You are still good at teaching children. You can teach children well, which is amazing." Zhou Changping sighed and shook his head in disagreement, "Dajiang doesn't need ten years--"

"Stop it." Zhou Sishun said with a smile, "We can't just think that our own children are good at everything. Our Dajiang is not smart, he just studied hard."

Zhou Changping was speechless when he heard this. If it wasn't indecent, he would have just wanted to roll his eyes at this moment, "A kid like our Dajiang, isn't he smart enough?"

"Your brother compared himself to his third uncle."

"...Liu Lang?" Who else should he compare himself to? Liu Lang? Zhou Changping smiled bitterly, "How many people can memorize everything they hear and remember everything they see as well as Liu Lang?"

Isn't this embarrassing for the child? "It's no exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-century opportunity. Otherwise, why did my father go to the Gu family and say all the good things?

My father couldn’t bear to see a promising young man from the Gu family being delayed in his studies. Fortunately, there is San Ya, otherwise his ancestors of the Gu family—"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Not only Zhou Changping was interrupted by Mr. Zhou's scolding, but Zhou Sishun was also interrupted in the middle of his thoughts. Like Zhou Changping, he subconsciously looked at Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou glanced at them, put his hands behind his back, turned around and continued walking forward. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Come visit your uncle Dong more often when you have time."

What he said was to remind Zhou Sishun to be on good terms with Doctor Dong. Zhou Sishun nodded in understanding, but only after nodding did he realize that Mr. Zhou could not see his nod.

"Understood, uncle, I'll go to Doctor Dong's house first--"

"Look ahead, big brother, is that Gu's Erlang? Right there, look to the right, is that Gu Erlang walking past in front of the school?"
