Farming and reading lady

Chapter 155 Arrival at Xiaoyuewan Village

"Madam, Hao'er has grown up. We can't help him, but we can't hold him back, right? Madam, let's just be happy old grandpa and old lady." Gu Lieqi advised earnestly. After returning to Xiaoyuewan Village, the wife's thoughts became more and more left-wing.

Du Xianniang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why can't we help? Marriage is a big deal, it's up to the parents and the matchmaker, he has to listen to me. Is it possible that the girl I like would harm him?"

"Hao'er is now the top scholar, and he will stay in the capital to be an official. The daughter of Mr. Wang you mentioned is not a bad one, but she is not a good match for our Hao'er. The girl is a good one, but she is illiterate. If she goes to the capital, have you thought about the difficulties she will face?" Gu Liqi tried to dispel her idea of ​​matchmaking.

"What do you know? A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. What's wrong with an illiterate and obedient woman? Besides, didn't Gu Xihao come from a peasant family? How can he ignore his ancestors just because he passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer?" Du Xianniang's tone became increasingly sharp.

Gu Lieqi felt sad in her heart: "Madam, you have ruined Hao Ge'er once, not enough, you want to do it a second time. Madam, if I hadn't seen with my own eyes that the two children came out of your belly, I wouldn't believe that you are their biological mother. Madam, are you really going to wait until our family is ruined before you are satisfied?"

"Bah, Gu Lieqi, I wasn't brought up to be scared. He came out of my belly, so his marriage has nothing to do with me." Du Xianniang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

"Hao'er won't agree. You'd better take care of yourself." Gu Liqi felt so tired. He still couldn't figure out why his wife, who had always been gentle and virtuous, suddenly became like this.

"Hmph, I don't believe it. If I marry him a wife, he won't recognize me as his mother." Du Xianniang hummed and ignored him. She was thinking about how much dowry Wang should ask for when he went out. She also planned that once this daughter-in-law came in, the dowry would be handed over to her to manage. Now that she had the daughter-in-law, was she still afraid that her son would run away? But she never thought about how stupid it was to use a strange woman to ruin her son's life.

Grandpa Gu and the others didn't know about the lawsuit between Gu Lieqi and his wife. They only knew that Gu Xihao had passed the imperial examination and would return home to worship his ancestors soon, and they were very happy.

"Hao is such an amazing kid, he actually got the top score in the exam. Well done to him." The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were all happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

"Yes, brother Hao is amazing. I thought it was extremely difficult to pass the examination to become a scholar, but I didn't expect that brother Hao would stand out among so many candidates across the country and become the top scorer. It was thanks to Lord Tong who helped him." The older brother said with envy.

"Although Master Tong is here to guide us, a master can only lead you to the door, but practicing depends on yourself. Brother Hao is determined." The second elder brother really admires him. Since he was a child, Brother Hao has been more serious than them. He is obviously smarter than them, but he works harder than them. He deserves all this.

"And Xian'er, at such a young age, has to face so many things. Dad, we are really making things difficult for the two children. We don't know how much they have been wronged. The two little guys didn't tell us when they came back, and they only reported good news and not bad news in their letters." The uncle felt very uncomfortable when he thought of this. At the beginning, the old man made the decision, and he didn't think of opposing it, but afterwards he felt very uneasy and uncomfortable. Why should there be so many adults in their family, but two little children have to suffer in the front? Is it because they are not motivated?

This made everyone silent. Even if they used their toes to think, they could figure out that what our ancestors had instructed us to do was not an easy task. But why were they so heartless as to agree to it directly?

"Okay, it was my decision at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with you. You just need to remember, if Haoge'er and Xian'er need your help, you must help them. If not, just live your life in peace and don't think about getting any benefits. You are all good kids, and since Haoge'er and Xian'er agreed to it at the beginning, it means they are confident. There is no need to worry too much about other things." The old man is wise, and even if he is biased, he will try his best to comfort others.

Everyone nodded. They always remembered that they could live such a comfortable life today because of Xian'er. They were always grateful for her care and concern and dared not forget. At this moment, they missed the two people they had not seen for a long time even more.

The Gu Xixian brother and sister, who were being talked about by everyone, were sneezing while sitting in the carriage.

"Brother, I feel like someone is nagging us." Gu Xixian rubbed his nose. This was obviously not a symptom of a cold, so it must be someone was nagging him.

Gu Xihao also rubbed his nose and nodded, "I think the news of the champion has reached Xiaoyuewan Village."

I don't know what kind of mood that person was in when he heard the news. He didn't know that the person was already thinking about how to control his future life. Fortunately, his sister brought a few ancestors back with her, otherwise, he might really have died at the hands of his mother.

Along the way, listening to the brother and sister talking about their longing for Xiaoyuewan Village and the natural joy on their faces when they lived in Xiaoyuewan Village, Gu Teng and his friends had a slightly different view of that big family.

Because they had plenty of time, they stopped and walked and didn't feel tired at all. When they entered Yin County, passed Mingyue Town, and arrived at Xiaoyuewan Village, they all looked quite energetic. Unlike before, this time the brother and sister returned home in glory. As soon as the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance.

"Brother, it's grandpa and the others who are here to welcome us." Gu Xixian lifted the carriage curtain and waved from the shaft: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, second uncle, aunt, dad, brothers and sisters, we are back."

"Hey, Xian'er, it's Xian'er and the others who are back." The old man cried with joy. He was happy that Hao'er had won the top spot in the imperial examination, but he was even happier that his sweet little cotton-padded jacket was back.

Everyone rushed forward and the horse had to stop, and the people on the horse followed closely and came out.

"Everyone, disperse. Brother Hao and his friends have come a long way and are very tired. Let them go back and rest first." Village Chief Tong was also very excited. He never thought that his Tong family would have such a blessing. The top scholar, even more glorious than their Mingyan.

The villagers are all very obedient. Now their Xiaoyuewan Village is united. After all, they all benefit from the Gu family.

The crowd dispersed, and Village Chief Tong also left with great discretion, leaving only the Gu family members staring at each other with eager eyes and tears in their eyes. Gu Teng coughed twice: "If you have anything to say, go home and talk about it. This old man's bones are almost broken."

Gu Xixian quickly stepped forward and took his arm: "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa. Let's go home quickly. I have a lot to say to you."

She still took the old man's little thoughts into consideration, because his love for her was real.

The old man was a little sad to see his granddaughter holding the arm of a strange old man, but his granddaughter's last words soothed his heart.
