Chapter 675: Family status

Finally got on the carriage and went to the courtyard outside the city.
The two children are tired from playing, they will all lie on the carriage and sleep.
Liu Zhao rode a horse to catch up. "The time is just right."
Gu Jiu opened the car window.
Just beginning of spring, the cold is still pressing.
She closed the window again, only a gap was opened.
"Are you done?"
Liu Zhao ostentatiously lit up the food box in his hand, "Buy cakes for the children."
"They are sleeping now, and the pastries can be kept for the evening. Go to the carriage ahead and don't wake the children."
Liu Zhao suddenly felt that his family status was at stake.
"Really don't let me come up with you?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I have two children, so I can't get distracted."
Liu Zhao looked choked.
He did not get into the carriage in front, and rode forward in the cold wind.
The convoy went out of town smoothly and headed south.
Go through Xinmin County, walk a few miles, turn into a fork road, and continue to go forward, which is Yuxiu Mountain.
The road up the mountain has already been repaired.
In the depths of the forest, one vaguely saw roofs.
This is a new resort district in Beijing.
Liu Zhao rode a horse, accompanied by a carriage.
He came here for the first time and asked curiously, "How many houses are built on this mountain?"
Gu Jiu opened the car window and looked out, "Not much has been built, only forty or fifty buildings. Our other courtyard is on the top. It can lead directly to the academy."
The academy was also built in Yuxiu Mountain.
There are two ways to go to the other courtyard and to the academy.
But the two places opened up another road on the top of the mountain. You can go directly to the academy on another hill from the road on the top of the hill.
Liu Zhao said: "Building a house on the mountain is expensive."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It costs a lot, so the house is expensive. The environment here is quiet and there are hot springs. Many wealthy people like to buy properties here."
Liu Zhao didn't ask how much the house was selling, he couldn't afford it anyway.
With his dignity, it would be good to be able to support himself, but there is no spare money to buy a house and buy a property.
The dignified son, so poor, the father should really reflect.
The roads up the mountain are all gentle slopes, and they reach the other courtyard smoothly.
"Xiao Zhu!" Liu Zhao read the words on the plaque when he went out.
Gu Jiu got off the carriage, "How about the name I chose?"
"Quite enough."
Gu Jiu looked around, standing on the side of the road, overlooking the scenery below the mountain, "I don't realize that the word Xiaozhu fits the temperament of this place."
"It does. Let's go in." Liu Zhao held a child in one hand.
The two stinky boys slept so hard that they didn't respond when they hugged them.
He said to Gu Jiu, "Is Brother Yu getting fat again recently?"
Gu Jiu gave him a white glance, "It's because he has grown taller, not fat. You are still a father because of you, and your son hasn't noticed that he has grown taller."
"Watching every day, naturally I can't notice that he grows taller. Is he really taller?"
Gu Jiu said: "The pants made a few months ago are all shorter. The shoes are also smaller. Do you think they are taller."
"The brat grows so fast."
Liu Zhao's mouth was disgusting, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy. His face was sullen, as if the child's growth was due to him.
Walking into Xiaozhu, there are small bridges and flowing water, and there are scenery everywhere.
"The water in the garden is all spring water drawn down from the mountain. It is very clean."
Houses of different styles are scattered in the scenery. Between each house, there are corridors connected.
"This place is comfortable." Liu Zhao liked it at a glance.
Gu Jiu smiled, "A total of ten houses have been built in the garden. We live in the biggest Fengbozhai, and the children are with us."
Liu Zhao said disgustingly: "The children are old, they should live in a yard alone."
Gu Jiu chuckled, "The child is still young and cannot be separated from others. After a few years, they will be older, but they can live in a yard alone."
The family settled down in Fengbozhai.
Every house is raised half a floor.
Standing at the railing on the second floor, leaning on the railing, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the garden.
Looking downstairs, people are coming in and out, carrying luggage and arranging houses.
咚咚咚...
Liu Zhao followed upstairs and hugged Gu Jiu from behind.
"How did you think of building such a house?"
"Building a house on the mountain must prevent snakes, insects, mice, ants, moisture, and corruption. Raising the house half a story high can achieve this goal, but also overlook the distant scenery. Don't you like it?"
Gu Jiu looked back at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao followed Gu Jiu's appearance and sat down by the window, "I like it naturally. It must have taken a lot of thought to build this place."
Gu Jiu nodded, "It really took a lot of thought, and the drawings alone have been revised more than a dozen times. See the pond in the garden? Worried that the two children will fall into the water, they specially ordered someone to build a fence before coming.
Even the water flow has been reduced by half. Now the water in the pool has just passed the ankle, even if the two children accidentally fall into the water, there is no need to worry about an accident. "
"Very thoughtful."
Gu Jiu looked back at Liu Zhao, "I plan to send Yu Ge'er to the academy to study. There are so many people over there. What do you think?"
Liu Zhao laughed, "He is so young and most of the colleges are adults. It is not suitable for him to go."
Gu Jiu has a different idea, "There are also children in the academy. It's just for enlightenment education, and the gentleman in the academy can do the job. It is too boring to keep the Yu brother in another courtyard and study with him alone every day. At the academy, you can at least feel The atmosphere of learning, experience a different student life."
After that, she stared at Liu Zhao again, "If you disagree, then you will be responsible for teaching Yu Ge'er homework every day."
This is dying!
Liu Zhao raised his hands to surrender, and said in a loud voice, "Just send him to the academy."
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Don't you think he is young?"
Liu Zhao shook his head repeatedly, "He is no longer young."
"Don't worry that he won't be able to adapt in the college?"
"You can adapt in the palace, but it's a trivial college."
Liu Zhao spoke nonsense in a serious manner, believing that the phrase "he is not appropriate" that he said before was farting.
Gu Jiu smiled triumphantly, "Don't go back."
Liu Zhao solemnly said: "I promise not to go back."
Just don't let him be responsible for teaching Yu Ge'er's homework. It will kill people.
Teaching children to read is really the scariest thing in the world.
Liu Zhao covered his heart with lingering fears.
I still remember the limited number of tutoring Yu Ge'er to do his homework, and his forehead twitched with anger and almost died suddenly.
When Yu Ge'er woke up in the evening and learned that he was going to study in the academy tomorrow, he cried out.
He thought he was here to play in the other courtyard. As a result, I only changed places to study and my homework became more onerous.
Brother Yu was born with no love, his little head was thinking, now it is too late to pack up and return to the capital.
"It's too late. Obediently go to the college to report tomorrow morning."
Liu Zhao's face is gloating and has no sympathy.
After identification, it is indeed a relative.
Brother Yu looked at Gu Jiu pitifully.
Gu Jiu drank a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and looked at the stars.
Well, she pretended not to see anything.
Brother Yu: "..." So sad.
Can only hold Brother Heng for comfort.
Mother Fang was distressed.
"Madam, can you give me a two-day break before going to the college to report."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "He has been resting for almost a month, and he must report to the academy tomorrow."
There was no discussion about this.
Liu Zhao's words are useless, let alone Mother Fang.
Then she told the maid to take Yu Ge'er back to the room to sleep.
Brother Liu Zhao waved his hand at Yu: Boy, ask for more blessings. Daddy always listens to your mother's words at home, we are the same and have no status.
...
Under the same starry sky, in the mountains of Gyeonggi, there is a village called Tongzi Village in Shangougou.
Tongzi Village is very poor.
If all the villages around Gyeonggi come to a ranking of the rich and the poor, Tongzi Village is estimated to be in the bottom.
Over the years, Tongzi Village has not caught up with the similar dividends of roads and houses in Beijing.
Fortunately, God did not completely abandon Tongzi Village.
The villagers in Tongzi Village, at any rate, caught up with the dividends of growing sweet potatoes to make wine, raising chickens, ducks and pigs to four seas trading houses.
This year, Tongzi Village has a rare year of prosperity. At least after eating meat, I can make a new dress all year round.
At the east end of the village, Wang Carpenter's family is considered a relatively wealthy family in Tongzi Village.
This family, while having dinner, broke out in the fiercest quarrel in history.
In the early years, Carpenter Wang relied on single-handed carpentry to work for ten miles and eight villages to support his children and save some money.
With the money, Wang Carpenter hoped to change the door, so he sent his third son to study.
Today's quarrel was caused by the third son.
Wang Carpenter has three sons, all of whom have grown up.
The eldest and eldest have married a wife and have children, and the eldest grandson is ten years old.
As for the third child, he has been studying for many years and only obtained the qualification for child birth. Over twenty-five years old, he was dubbed the old boy by the villagers. For so many years, even a talented talent has not passed the exam.
While the whole family was around for dinner, Wang Carpenter announced in public that he would let his third son go to the county to study after the Lantern Festival.
This caused great dissatisfaction with the Wang family boss and second child.
"disagree!"
The two brothers opposed their father's decision together.
These days, not just a family can afford a scholar.
It costs money to support a scholar.
The repair for the husband is nothing.
The real big expenses are pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books.
A set of decent pens, inks, papers and inkstones can’t be taken without a couple of silvers.
An analysis of a sub-collection of Scriptures and History, less of a couple of dollars.
A must-have for a college student, no one or two talents, I don't want to take it home.
Why do we have to use pen, ink, paper and inkstone of two taels of silver?
I used the roughest paper and the most inferior pen and ink for my husband’s official article, and my first impression was completely lost.
Unless you are a genius, you can make people look different.
What is face?
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone used for writing are face.
At the very least, it also represents the attitude of reading.
As well as the pen and ink used in the examination room, who dares to use poor quality? Aren't you afraid of the handwriting being confused?
After all, these years, reading is a luxury for the people.
If you can get fame in the exam, then all the money invested can be recovered.
However, Wang Sanlang enlightened since he was eight years old, and now he is over twenty-five, and he is still a child.
His two brothers were completely disappointed in him.
The three brothers did not separate.
Every time Wang Saburo spends one or two pennies, it means that the boss and the second child get one or two pennies less when dividing the family.
There is no Jinshan Yinshan at home, and I can't stand Wang Saburo to continue reading so hopelessly.
Why is the family working hard to make money, and all of them have entered the bottomless pit of Wang Saburo?
The boss and the second were not convinced and resolutely opposed Wang Sanlang's going to the county seat to study.
"What to read? I haven't read it for so many years. It's better to let the children read."
"The third child is definitely not able to read it. It's better to find a job in the city. He can write and count. He can get six or seven hundred yuan in a month. In addition to supporting himself, he can also take some money to go home. ."
"We earned all the money he has spent studying in these years."
"We eat bran throat vegetables at home, and he eats fragrant and spicy food outside. Why!"
"The child can only add a piece of clothing throughout the year. He has to make several outfits a year. The whole family supports him. I am not convinced."
"Or just separate."
"Yes, separate."
"Regardless of family, the third child has to work to earn money."
Snapped!
Carpenter Wang slapped the table with a slap, and the bowls and chopsticks jumped up.
"I'm not dead yet, who would dare to mention the division?"
Carpenter Wang's gaze swept across the faces of his two sons and his two daughter-in-laws.
The two daughters-in-law both lowered their heads with a guilty conscience and murmured secretly: "Old Immortal is very eccentric."
"Father meant to let the third child continue to study? The family earns money to support him?"
Carpenter Wang sternly said, "I have been reading for so many years, then continue reading. Always read it out."
"The third child, you said something! Are you dumb? Don't you know how to say it on weekdays? Tell everyone, can you pass the exam? If you can't pass the exam, rest your mind as soon as possible."
Wang Lao San said blankly: "The last few times, I just had bad luck."
"Fart has bad luck, you just can't pass the exam. The kid in the next village, who is only 18 years old, has already passed the exam. You are almost 30."
"Is this a quarrel? What are you arguing about, so much?"
Wang Xiaoxi, a coal factory mate, walked in and stared at the family curiously.
