Chapter 101 (1/2)
Xie is talking happily with his wife.
As a result, as soon as Gu Jiu enters the door, the air is quiet.
How embarrassing!
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be suffocating.
Gu Jiu, as if nothing happened, with a smile on his face, stepped forward and said, ”give my wife my regards, and my uncle and wife please.”
Mrs. Xie looked at Gu Jiu and looked up and down, ”this is the second girl in the family. It's really a sign.”
Xie said with a smile: ”it is my two girls, single name a nine.”
With the three people's dialogue, the air that was about to suffocate flowed again, and everyone laughed.
Gu Zhen and Gu Lin followed closely and went to see you.
Xie's smile smile slightly, ”come to good. These are all cousins of the Xie family. Come and meet them. ”
Beside Mrs. Xie, there were three girls and three young men.
After introduction, the three young men are the heirs of the big house of the Xie family. Xie Dalang and Xie Sanlang are all born by themselves, and Xie Erlang is a common person.
The three girls of the Xie family, the eldest and the second, are from the big room. The third girl is a girl from the second room of the Xie family.
Gu Jiu knew that the two rooms of the Xie family, old and small, had moved to live in the capital.
Gu Jiu leads Gu Zhen and Gu Lin to get to know each other formally.
Thank you. They are not tall. The girl has a fair complexion and a little plump.
The boy is also a fat appearance, but not fat to exaggerate the appearance. It's just a little fat.
After the two sides got to know each other, Xie began to talk with his wife.
Mrs. Xie said with a smile, ”my aunt is really lucky. The girls in the family are one by one, and their appearance is dignified. Especially yue'er, when I look at it, I can't move my eyes. ”
Gu Yue lowered his head and showed some shyness.
Xie said with a smile: ”yue'er, a child who has been growing up well since childhood, is sensible and knows how to love people. How can I not bias her?”
Mrs. Xie said with a smile: ”my aunt is right. The girl's family has only been in her mother's house for more than ten years, so she should be given more favors. However, what should be taught is still to be taught. For example, my yuan'er, who has been a steward director since primary school, has been able to take charge of all kinds of worldly affairs for me
Xie looked at Xie Yuan, the eldest girl of the Xie family.
Xie Yuan is a legitimate, round face, slightly plump. When Xie's eyes toward her, xie Yuan subconsciously straightened her back.
Xie said with a smile, ”yuan'er is a wonderful child. Or sister-in-law will raise children, several girls are taught by you, generous and decent, smart and capable. It's not like the children in my family. They are still childish, and they have to be childish from time to time. ”
Mrs. Xie laughed. ”Don't say that, Mrs. Xie. You are wonderful children. Like Liu Lang, when you were still in the northwest, I heard about his literary talent. Liu Lang, will you have a master when you come back to the capital? ”
She had been sitting in her chair, drooping her head slightly, never saying a word.
When Mrs. Xie asked about it, he raised his head and said, ”I'll report back to my aunt. I haven't been a teacher yet. However, my uncle in the hall next door said that he would arrange me to study in Xishan Academy. ”
Mrs. Xie said with a smile: ”Xishan academy is really good, but it's not as good as learning from a great scholar.”
Xie raised her eyebrows.
A few days ago, when she took her children to Xie's house, Mr. Xie mentioned that he would introduce a great scholar to LIULANG as a teacher.
To tell you the truth, Xie is very moved.
For the rest of her life, she was counting on her two sons.
The younger son's temperament is off, and it's still hard to say.
Only the eldest son, Gu Cheng Cheng, is very good at reading and is self disciplined.
If you can be a teacher of the great scholars, at least five years and eight years can be saved. In the imperial examination, maybe you can get a good place at the top.
These are visible benefits.
There are also many intangible benefits, such as the teacher's personal relationship. As long as there is no accident, Ms. Gu can inherit it.
What do you rely on to walk official circles? It's all about connections.
If Gu can inherit these connections, she can't say that her official career is smooth. At least, she is more relaxed than others.
Xie's family was very excited. When she was in Xie's house, she almost agreed.
However, at the thought of Mr. Gu's attitude, Xie only said that he would consider it carefully after returning to the mansion, but did not immediately agree to come down.
Today, Mrs. Xie came to visit her and brought up the matter again. She began to think about it.
Last time I went to Xie's house, Mr. Xie's words were vague. Xie's reading was limited and he didn't understand a lot of his words.
She did not dare to consult Mr. Gu.
After all, she didn't understand Xie's words. If you want to talk to Mr. Gu rashly, if you annoy him, it's not worth the loss.
Mr. Gu's approval of Xie's contact with Xie's family has already given Xie's face.Xie's very sensible, not sure before, she did not mention.
Xie said: ”the elder sister-in-law is right. If there are great Confucians who are teachers, it is really good. But about Liu Lang's reading, my master has already made arrangements. I can't get in the way. ”
Gu looked around, but she didn't speak.
Mrs. Xie covered her lips and laughed, ”my aunt misunderstood me. Not everyone can learn from the master.
The great Confucians were very angry and strict with their disciples. If LIULANG wants to be a master of Confucianism, he has to go through three passes and cut six generals, which is no easier than the imperial examination.
If LIULANG is willing, his uncle has said that he can be recommended. It depends on Liu Lang's learning. ”
In this case, Xie can't avoid it.
She looked at Gu and said, ”LIULANG, what do you think?”
Gu Cheng pursed her lips and looked serious.
Gu Jiu suddenly remembered that she had not seen Gu Cheng smile for a long time.
As she looks, she is getting older and younger. Youth has not passed, has been like adults to speak and do things.
”I still want to go to Xishan academy,” Gu said. I have inquired that the courtyard of Xishan academy is exactly the famous scholar of the day. ”
Mrs. Xie said: ”there are many people in Xishan Academy. There are not only poor children, but also powerful children. Liu Lang, you just came back from the northwest, and you didn't know anyone in the capital. If you rashly entered Xishan academy to study, you would be very uncomfortable to adapt. ”
Gu Cheng looked at Mrs. Xie. ”Thank you for your concern. I have made up my mind and I don't intend to change it.”
Mrs. Xie choked, but she didn't expect to see any oil or salt. The fame of the great Confucian couldn't move him. He had to go to Xishan Academy.
Mrs. Xie was embarrassed at first, and then she laughed again, ”LIULANG has ambition, good, good. Your uncle also has some connections in Xishan Academy. If you go to study, he will find a relationship to take care of you. ”
”Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need to. The Marquis next door has considered everything for me, so I don't need to worry about it for the time being. ”
Mrs. Xie frowned slightly and could not help looking at Xie.
It's like asking, sister, what's going on with your son? It's so impolite that we don't offend him.
Xie is also not sure what she thinks.
She was thinking about how to resolve the embarrassment, when she saw Ms. Gu standing up and saying, ”mother, great aunt, sisters, keep talking. I'll take my three cousins to the courtyard to talk
Xie stammered, and finally nodded, saying, ”you are all men. You are impatient to listen to our family talk. Well, let's go to the outer courtyard. It's more comfortable. ”
Gu Cheng nodded slightly, and asked Xie Jiabiao to leave Furong courtyard.
As soon as they left, only the women were left in the room.
Mrs. Xie talks at will.
”Auntie, are you old enough for LIULANG? Have you ever talked about marriage?”
Xie shook his head. ”Up to now, no child has made a marriage.”
”If we go on like this, we will not delay the future of our children.”
”It doesn't matter if a boy is a few years late,” Xie said. What I am most worried about now is the marriage of yue'er and his wife. Up to now, I have no eyebrows. ”
Mrs. Xie couldn't help looking at Gu Zhen, Gu Jiu and Gu Yue.
At present, as long as the three of them are at the age of marriage, they should seize the time to decide the marriage.
Mrs. Xie suddenly asked, ”Auntie, how do you like my children?”
Xie was confused for a moment and didn't quite understand what Mrs. Xie meant.
Mrs. Xie was not so fastidious. She said directly, ”how about a marriage between our two families? The three children, Xie Shi, Xie Ding and Xie Ning, are randomly selected by their aunt. ”
