"Thank them for their kindness, now that I am a widow living at home, how can it be convenient to see outsiders."

After all, Zhang's family is still from a scholarly family, and he still adheres to this bottom line.

Ge Guangmu was just looking for an excuse, worried that his two sworn brothers would not know about it at that time, and he would debunk himself after meeting with Zhang, but now that Zhang said no, he was relieved.

On the day of the banquet, Li Gongzi asked his personal servant to send a prayer post, which also mentioned the Zhang family, and asked the Zhang family for peace.

After noon, Li Gongzi was as late as ever, this time for a very simple reason, because he valued a troupe and was ready to buy this newcomer with his family's current troupe.

After the four of them sat down, Kong Zhi and the others arrived, Ge Guangmu was a little panicked in his heart, Chen Sike smiled and said: "Xianqi is a guest, it seems that it is not the right time for us to come." ”

Ge Guangmu naturally didn't dare to say anything, so he asked them to sit down and introduce Li Gongzi to them.

The three of them had long known that Li Gongzi was a famous disciple of the Emperor, and after Kong Zhi sat down, he told Li Gongzi with a smile that his father and Li Gongzi's grandfather were still the same year.

Li Gongzi didn't know what to say, at this time, Ge Guangmu asked Wang Zhong to find Quan Xianggong, this time Quan Xianggong was more able to speak, which could ease the atmosphere. The second is that when these uncles ask, he will let Quan Xianggong be a shield.

Quan Xianggong also heard that Gefu was holding a banquet, and he was on his way here, and after meeting Wang Zhong, he arrived at the banquet.

After sitting down, while everyone was waiting for the food to be served, Cheng Sike and they talked about the story of the previous generation who ruined the family style because they did not learn and did not know how to do it, and the great foundation was ruined and turned into beggars.

Although Kong Zhi and the others did not explicitly refer to it, the people present understood it in their hearts.

Li Gongzi didn't hear it in his heart, but after all, he was a family of cultivators and scholars, and poetry and books were passed on, and the elders talked, so he didn't dare to contradict it.

After this feast, Kong Zhi asked Ge Guangmu if the Five Classics had been passed.

Ge Guangmu knew that he was coming, so he said that Quan Xianggong let him learn Shiwen first, and then learn the Five Classics.

After hearing this, Kong Zhi was not as disappointed as Ge Wenying, and asked Ge Guangmu if he had written any articles that he could show to them.

Over the years, he has read less books and played more, and he has even forgotten almost what he originally learned, let alone articles.

Cheng Sike saw that Ge Guangmu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, so he said: "I forgot that there is nothing to do, why don't I make a question on the spot." Let's take Zi Yue as the theme. As for this poetry, you don't have to do it. ”

This is a relatively simple topic, and Cheng Sike is also thinking about the face of his old friend, and he doesn't want to embarrass Ge Guangmu.

If Ge Guangmu carefully read the anthology of the six years, even if he didn't have half a penny of writing in his chest, he couldn't write this flowery article, and the sentences of his predecessors could be intertwined.

However, the sentences in his chest, not to mention the limited topic, even if there is no limited topic, he can't make it up.

Seeing Ge Guangmu like this, Quan Xianggong was also embarrassed, he thought to himself that this is not only a shame for Ge Guangmu, but also a loss for himself, in order to clear his responsibility, he said to Ge Guangmu: "I taught you in the past, have you forgotten?" ”

Quan Xianggong said, and said, "All these years, I have taught carefully, why don't you listen? ”

scolded Ge Guangmu, in order not to let these people misunderstand that he was not learning and unskilled, so he made an article on this topic.

After Kong Zhi and the others heard this, they thought to themselves that although this Quan Xianggong was not very knowledgeable, he could still be successful, and it seemed that the problem was Ge Guangmu.

"Guangmu, we have some friendship with your father, today the little old man drank a little wine and said some drunken words, if you think this is reasonable, then you listen, if you think it is unreasonable, you should turn a deaf ear."

Cheng Sike drank a glass of wine, and then said: "Don't say anything else, your grandfather and great-grandfather are all famous sages and upright people in Xijing City, of course, you are late for the rest of your life, you have never seen it, but you have heard of it." But your father, Hero, is what you have seen with your own eyes. People around here, who mention your father, don't mean that this is a scholar. Although he failed in the imperial examination, he still did not give up studying. As the old saying goes, books cure foolishness. Aside from saying that you are not a stupid person, there is fun in this book, and it is much better than doing nothing like you. ”

"Since the brother of the wish has spoken, virtuous son-in-law, I can only say a few words with a gentle face, your family is solid, you are a big family in Fengcheng, and Xijing is also an upstart. Naturally, you don't need to ask for a background in the imperial examination. However, this study is not for the sake of rice, but to keep the family's foundation, or even if the family property is big, it will eventually be used up one day. ”

Ge Guangmu was submissive and did not dare to refute it out loud.

Cheng Si saw this situation, and did not persecute Ge Guangmu, but asked Li Gongzi: "I don't know if Ling Zu's "Qianzhai Poems" has been printed? ”

"You said those boards are still hidden in the building." Li Gongzi reluctantly replied, afraid that these people would say something embarrassing to him, so he said: "Today is the death anniversary of my father, and the younger generation will leave first." ”

After hearing this, Kong Zhi asked, "I don't know if it's the first time?" Or is it the anniversary of the donation? ”

Where does this Li Gongzi understand this, he is at a loss and doesn't know what to do, Kong Zhi sighed in his heart, where is this still the appearance of a child of a farming family, so he explained: "It's Ling Zun's birthday, or the day of returning to heaven." ”

"It is the day of my father's death."

After hearing this, Kong Zhi touched his beard and said to Li Gongzi: "In the past, Lingzun returned to heaven, and the mourning hall invited me to salute each other. ”

Li Gongzi suddenly remembered that Kong Zhi was indeed there that day, and he was thinking of bad luck in his heart, so he didn't dare to shirk it indiscriminately.

The three of them continued to talk about poetry and writing, and from time to time said that Li Gongzi's father was only a scholar, and it was not okay for Li Gongzi to answer, and it was not for Li Gongzi to answer.

When the sun sank in the west, the three elders left here.

After they left, the four of them only felt that the mountain was moving away from their bodies.

Li Gongzi said unhappily: "Disappointing, disappointing, really disappointing, it seems that the feng shui here is not good for me, second brother, if it is okay in the future, I will not come to bother." ”

Seeing this situation, Zhang Qingjia hurriedly explained: "Big brother, after all, these three people are the second brother's division commander, and the second brother has no choice. ”

"Hmph, even in school, my teacher Lu, I said east, he didn't dare to say west, there was no way to talk about anything, today it's just because they are scholars and elders, so I have to give them some face."

Gou Geng has always been tactful, and he also helped: "This good family is studying, and it is different from the rich family." In the future, everyone will still go to the eldest brother and be happy. ”

Li Gongzi nodded and left, Gou Geng was busy scolding Li Gongzi, so he hurriedly followed, and Zhang Qingjia still went to say goodbye to his aunt before leaving.

Ge Guangmu knew that what the third elder said was right, but when it was like this today, he felt aggrieved in his heart, and he happened to see Quan Xianggong leaving, so he didn't fight out his anger.

He returned to the backyard in a huff, and when Zhang saw Ge Guangmu's angry appearance, he said distressedly: "My son, what's wrong with this, why are you so angry when you entertain guests for the first time." ”

"It's not that all-in-one, at today's banquet, my father-in-law and the other two uncles took the school to test my knowledge, and it was not for my good, but for my good, I knew in my heart, naturally I would not be angry. It's the one with the surname Quan, and he's either drunk or gambling all day long. In the past ten days, it would be good to come to the school one day. ”

After hearing this, Zhang said in surprise: "This, is this true?" How come no one has told me. ”

Wang Zhong was also dissatisfied with this minister-in-law, so he said: "Now the little minister knows, doesn't the old lady know?" ”

"Shuangqing, they just said that this Quanxiang Gong has knowledge, and they didn't mention that this Quanxiang Gong is like this."

After Zhang finished speaking, he didn't think about it and said: "What are you doing with such a person, just open him." ”

Zhang's family didn't have as many concerns as Ge Wenying, she just opened it, and she didn't want to think about it at all, she was invited in the first place.

Quan Xianggong didn't keep it, and after the banquet, he also felt a little unhappy.

As soon as the whole minister left, this only discipline was gone, and Ge Guangmu used to pretend to go to Bichenxuan to study, but now he doesn't have to pretend to be here, and he is idle at home.

The Zhang family didn't expect Ge Guangmu to be able to read any fame, as an official, as long as Ge Guangmu was safe and worry-free, it was enough to be happy every day.

Zhang doesn't care, although Wang Zhong is anxious, but there is no way.

After all, Ge Guangmu is getting older, and there is nothing interesting in this family, so he got bored within a few days.

It happened that Gou Geng came to Ge Guangmu, saying that there was a rich man outside the city, his mother had celebrated her 80th birthday, and she was going to go to celebrate her birthday, I don't know if Ge Guangmu was willing to go together.

Ge Guangmu hesitated for a moment, saying that he was not related to the rich man, and he did not have a reason, so how could he go.

"Pedanty, second brother, you are really pedantic, now this is even if you are related to your family, if you don't have money, who will go. The so-called rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and if you go to visit today, then it is not a cause. As the saying goes, many friends have many roads, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this does not move, in the future, if you have something at home, how can it be lively. Moreover, this rich man and I have a past, and now that you are married to me, you are naturally an old man. If you can't get over it, then let's write a joint post, what do you think? ”

Ge Guangmu was also very bored, so he agreed to this matter.

He knew that this Gou Geng wanted to mix a meal, but he couldn't pay for the gift, so he thought of his brother and wrote a joint post, and the gift was naturally given by two people.

When the time comes, you don't have to spend a penny, you can eat a good meal, and you can sell a favor, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

After Ge Guangmu agreed, he immediately wrote a letter of worship, and then Gou Geng also signed his name on it.
