Gu Defa glanced at his brother and then looked away.
Brother is so stupid, havent you seen it yet? Mr. Ouyang, the more you don't learn, the more he will make you learn. To go against the old man is to make him happy.
Sure enough, Mr. Ouyang said with a smile: "If you fail to pass the exam in your lifetime, then you will have to take the exam in your lifetime."
Gu Dewang wanted to hit the wall after hearing this. This old man was too difficult to deal with.
After a while, he looked at Mr. Ouyang's old face, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid you can't stay with me for the rest of your life at such an old age."
Not to be outdone, Mr. Ouyang said: "I am in good health. The Ouyang family has always lived a long life. It will not be a problem to live to be eighty years old. Just wait."
So if you want to beat me to death, don't study, just go and dream!
After hearing this, Gu Dewang reached out to count Mr. Ouyang's age. He was so surprised that he said, "There are still about twenty years left!"
Twenty years later, he will be almost forty. If his life was as short-lived as Gan Mingzi's father in the town, he would have been dead for several years.
He wanted to boil old man Ouyang to death, but now who is boiling whom?
Gu Dewang was desperate again and lay back on the table pretending to be dead.
Brother Cheng watched the excitement for a while and finally understood why Gu Dewang was like this. He said to him: "Brother Dewang, just give up. Instead of insisting on fighting with Grandpa Ouyang, it is better to study hard and maybe study a few times." He will be able to pass the imperial examination in 2018. Look at Brother Dexing. Many people used to say that he would not be able to pass the imperial examination. Now, instead of being admitted as a boy student, he is very likely to be admitted as a scholar."
Gu Dewang covered his ears and pretended not to hear.
Brother Cheng said again: "Besides, there is no conflict at all between studying and making money. Brother Dewang can study and make money at the same time."
Then he told Gu Dewang about Lu Bais writing of storybooks to make money.
When Gu Dewang heard this, he almost jumped up in shock: "What, you can earn dozens of taels of silver from just one word book?"
Brother Cheng nodded: "Well, if the story is good, there can be thirty taels. Although Brother Dewang can't write storybooks, Brother Dewang can do other businesses."
A living person can still choke to death by urinating, but by using another method, two major things can be accomplished together.
After hearing this, Gu Dewang finally became happy and said to Mr. Ouyang: "Old man, I won't be stubborn with you anymore. Wait, when I make a lot of money, I will send you a car of ham so that you can eat enough!"
Mr. Ouyang sneered: "You can continue to be stubborn, I just thought of a way to deal with you."
When Gu Dewang heard this, he was very happy. It was so dangerous. Fortunately, he woke up quickly, otherwise he would have been tortured to death by the old man.
He immediately took out his textbook, sat up straight, and began to pretend to study hard.
Mr. Ouyang glanced at him and said: "I owe you five days of homework. I will hand it in tomorrow. If you dare not to hand it in, the homework will be doubled. Tell your mother again and let her beat you twice, and then deduct your meat and vegetables. Let you No meat for a month.
"I must pay it, don't tell my mother!" Gu Dewang was hungry when he was fleeing from famine. He liked to eat meat the most. If he didn't eat meat for a month, he would go crazy.
Mr. Ouyang snorted coldly and ignored Gu Dewang, but the homework given today was the copying that Gu Dewang hated the most, and the one he wanted to copy was the Zhou Dynasty scholar's "Excuse the Barbarians". Not only was the letter for criticizing the barbarians long, but it was also difficult to write. It had to be copied ten times. Plus the homework he owed could make him useless.
Gu Dewang wanted to die, but in order to eat meat, he had to work hard, and he didn't even dare to follow Gu Jinan and the others in the study.
Mr. Ouyang was satisfied to see that he was honest and went to the study to meet Gu Jinan and the others. "Students, thank you Mr. Ouyang. Thank you very much for Mr. Ouyang's guidance." When Gu Jinan and the other five saw Mr. Ouyang, they immediately knelt down and thanked him.
Even though Mr. Ouyang is a great scholar, he is not pedantic at all. When he gave guidance to Gu Jinan and others, he always pointed out places where they might be able to take the exam, so Gu Dexing was able to pass the Tongsheng exam.
Mr. Ouyang said: "I'm just giving you a few pointers. Ham has already taken the credit for this. Get up quickly."
Mr. Ouyang did not ask Gu Jinan and the others about the government examination. They had already passed it. What else could they ask? Instead, he asked about their experiences in Fucheng: "I heard from Brother Cheng that you met some interesting students. I encountered a lot of interesting things, tell me about them. Im always bored in Qingfu Town, and I havent heard anything new for a long time.
In fact, this is not the case. The people in Qingfu Town are so gossipy. Every few days, people from all over the country come to the town to attend the market. They are all eloquent, comparable to the storytellers in Jiangnan. Mr. Ouyang can hear new things every day. knowledge.
Sometimes he would wear coarse linen clothes and carry a basket to buy farm goods and listen to people's opinions.
Gu Dewang was very disgusted with his hobby and said he had never seen such a nosy old man.
Then he gave me extra homework.
Why is this gossip? You are obviously trying to understand the local customs and customs, so don't talk nonsense if you don't know.
Gu Jinan saw that Mr. Ouyang was interested, so he told him what he had experienced in Fucheng.
Mr. Ouyang listened with great interest, laughed out loud several times, and sometimes even expressed a few words of emotion.
However, he saw that Shang Xiucai seemed to have something to say. After listening to what he had seen for half an hour, he said to Gu Jinan and the others: "Go and take out the ham and slice it, and take the mixed wine to the well and put it on ice." , go to the kitchen to help prepare some dishes, Im greedy, I need to eat early today.
He did not have the rule that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Instead, he felt that men should learn to cook. Otherwise, if you are stuck on the road in the future, you will not even be able to light a fire to boil hot water.
"Yes." Gu Jinan and the others also saw that Shang Xiucai had something to say to Mr. Ouyang, so they left obediently without lingering.
After they left, Mr. Ouyang said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Shang Xiucai did not hesitate and said immediately: "I want to ask you something, and I hope you will grant it."
Mr. Ouyang: "Don't do this. Let's talk about the matter first. I'll think about whether I can agree to it."
After listening to this, Shang Xiucai told what happened to the old Gu family, and then said: "Although it is the old Gu family who is wrong, Brother An and the others are juniors. Even if they are right, their reputation will be damaged. When he goes to the college entrance examination , someone will definitely use this matter to criticize him. I would like to ask sir to write a poem to help Brother An."
Mr. Ouyang is a famous scholar in Chu, and his brother Ouyang Hong is even more powerful. Most literati admire their brothers. If Mr. Ouyang can write a poem to help Gu Jinan and clear his name, those who want to criticize him for being unfilial will People must not dare to act rashly again.
Mr. Ouyang did not agree immediately, but said: "The time has not come yet, let's wait until the time comes."
Shang Xiucai said anxiously: "Sir, I think this matter should be done sooner rather than later. You don't know how many people in Fucheng are criticizing Brother An. If you don't help him, his reputation will be even worse."
"The people in Fucheng's plot against An Ge'er was solved by the Gu family. Why are you anxious?" Mr. Ouyang said: "You can't rush this matter. There's no point in hurrying. Let's do this for now."
