811 The reason for being the king
On the second day of the new year, the married woman returned to her Maiden Home.
This year, only third aunt, third uncle, and Guo Rui came back together. Guo Wan, that child from a previous marriage, was brought to her uncle’s house for a blind date.
Third aunt Gu’s stomach was already showing. She was only six months pregnant, which was as big as when she was eight months pregnant.
The doctor had also said that it was very likely to be twins.
Third aunt Gu especially liked to ask children if she was carrying a younger brother or sister.
Gu Xin said that he was a younger brother, Gu si said that he was a younger sister, and Gu Ren said that he was a younger brother and sister. Now that there was a Huo Yanyu, third aunt Gu asked about her.
Huo Yanyu’s mouth was very sweet. She said, ” of course, it’s a younger brother and sister. The dragon and the phoenix are twins. Third aunt, you’re so blessed!
Third aunt Gu was overjoyed!
She liked it when they were twins-two sons and one daughter-so she could stop having children. How good would that be?
Third aunt Gu hadn’t seen her parents for two months. She pulled grandma Gu along and acted like a spoiled child. Although grandma Gu didn’t take her advice, she still listened to her patiently.
As for his third uncle, well, he didn’t dare to complain now, for fear of being scolded by his mother-in-law. After knowing old master Huo’s identity, he asked old master Huo for advice. After all, the emperor’s tutor was very important to him.
Old master Huo nodded in satisfaction after his third uncle passed the exam. As expected, he would be able to pass this year’s National College Entrance Examination. If he worked hard and performed well, he might be able to pass the Imperial college entrance examination. However, it would not be easy for him to get into the top or top two.
His third uncle waved his hand repeatedly. He even said that his wife had set the goal for him to be a high scholar and then become a teacher in the prefecture Academy. Therefore, he didn’t force it and everything would be based on his wife’s goal.
Of course, if he passed the exam, he would definitely do whatever he wanted. If he could have the title of a scholar, it would be more convenient for him to find a husband for his sons in the future.
Old master Huo didn’t say anything. Everyone had their own ambitions. Not everyone studied to become an official. His grandson, who was known as a child prodigy, took the imperial examination to cope with his family. He only wanted to travel around.
When one was old, one would not force such things.
If he had met old master Huo when he was young, his third uncle would definitely have been scolded.
Third aunt Gu’s family planned to stay at her family’s house until the 14th day of the first lunar month before going back. At that time, she would bring her family to the prefecture and let her nephews and nieces go to the Lantern Festival. Maybe Huihui could even find a good man!
……
On the third day of the new year, several carriages entered the village at the crossroads one after another. They were all here to deliver New Year’s gifts.
There was the Li family’s carriage, the county magistrate’s carriage, the Yuzhou prefect’s Xie family’s carriage, and the carriage driven by the person Lu Yang had sent to deliver the letter.
“Young master, young master Xue has a letter for you.” The messenger handed two letters to Lu Zheng.
One of the letters was from Xue Qianyu to Lu Zheng. It was a list of all the gifts in the car. It was written that they were for whoever. The other letter was for Gu en.
Lu Yang was overjoyed. It seemed that Xue Xiao ‘er was really planning to arrange for a spy to stay by Gu Nian’s side!
He just didn’t know if Xue Xiao ‘er would make it in time.
Lu Zheng gave the man the reward and kept the letter. He took out the new year gift from Xue Qianyu for his maternal grandparents and put it away, then drove the carriage to the Gu residence.
The Gu family did not expect Xue Qianyu to come all the way here to give them a New Year’s gift. Lu Zheng’s words were that Xue Xiao ‘er had said that he had been taken care of by the Gu family during his time in Qing Zhou. His mother had specially prepared this.
Lu Zheng almost laughed when he said this. Xue Qianyu’s mother probably didn’t even know that she had taken care of her son!
This reason was really impressive.
