Chapter 124: Don't guess the big brother's thoughts

Half a month after the spring, the news was sent. Bai Jianran knew that they had always been close, so he specially sent servants to report that Wang Conghan had paid tribute to high school. It was estimated that when the news was sent, the palace examination would also begin.

After receiving the news, Zhou Bo rewarded the little man who sent the message, and then stood alone in the courtyard for a long time. At night, under the candlelight, Er Niang Sanlang Si Niang was invited by Xiao Xing.

After everyone arrived, Zhou Bo briefly talked about Wang Congeruhan. Everyone looked different. It seemed that everyone was forcing themselves to try to digest the news. Not to mention envy and hatred, his Sanlang's knowledge was no worse than Wang Conger, but...

Only Sanlang has a little regret on his face, and he still accepts this fact calmly.

Big brother said that he is several years younger than Wang Conghan, and there are still opportunities in the future. If it hadn't been for that change, then...

And now... Forget it, don't think about it. If it hadn't been for that change, I wouldn't have grown so fast!

"If Sanlang was allowed to take the exam this time, maybe he would enter the Dragon Gate, maybe..." Er Niang was unwilling to know that this might be the only opportunity to save her parents, but she was abandoned like this. I don't know if there is still a chance to turn over.

For nearly two years, my parents and aunt, how are you?

At that time, things came suddenly, and until now, she is at a loss.

"But...what if...the third brother didn't pass the exam?"

Siniang bit her white lips tightly and said with difficulty. She understood the second sister's eagerness, but she also vaguely knew that sometimes, people with real knowledge could win.

Er Niang didn't know the answer. In her heart, she was worried about the family affairs; when she went out of the door, it was the eldest brother's business.

"..." At this time, she was slightly stunned when she heard Si Niang's words and looked up at Si Niang, but saw her lips tightly squeezed, but her little face was unspeakably sad.

The children of the Zhou family are very beautiful, with red lips and white teeth and exquisite facial features. They inherit all the good bloodlines of their common father and bring out some shadows of their mothers. Unlike Er Niang's softness, Wu Niang's gentleness (simple appearance), Si Niang's face is like a full moon, very pleasing, and her temper is also fate, and no one likes her.

Er Niang can now take good care of the Zhou family, and Si Niang is also a great contribution.

Therefore, the second mother in this family that knows best is the fourth mother.

Looking at the eldest brother again, she couldn't help sighing. How could she not know what even Si Niang could see? She also understood this truth, but after all, this is not an opportunity! Alas, this opportunity was missed like this.

Zhou Bo didn't say anything. It's not his character to regret and sigh that things have happened. What can make him think hard can only be the future.

"Second sister, here's the thing." Or understanding everyone's intentions, Sanlang looked at everyone calmly and smiled faintly and suddenly said, "I have discussed with my eldest brother that if I take the scientific examination now, I'm afraid that people with intentions will take advantage of this to make trouble. At that time, I'm afraid that my parents and I can't be good."

It is not difficult to see that Sanlang has been a gentleman for nearly a year and has become reborn and calm.

At this moment, such a change falls into the eyes of my brothers and sisters, which is both gratifying and more miserable.

"What Sanlang said is very true." Zhou Bo finally spoke out, and everyone looked at him together. He said slowly, "I have entrusted Brother Wang with this matter. If he is in high school this time, he must stay in Beijing, then it will always be easier to help him secretly find some original clues. After all, no one knows his relationship with the Zhou family."

My eldest brother usually never explains anything to his brothers and sisters. If he wants to tell him, he can only inform him. I have to sigh that the eldest brother has really changed a lot after his marriage.

After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, Er Niang was somewhat balanced and nodded and said, "Brother really knows better than us."

The most indispensable thing in the capital is the rich and high-ranking officials. If you really want to inquire about your parents, it is really safe to rely on Wang Conghan.

This is not something that can be solved in a hurry, but in the face of such a thing, it is really not easy for a young girl to endure. She sighed a long sigh.

"This scientific examination has been a big three years. When the matter is resolved and Sanlang will take the exam again, it will not affect his future." Zhou Bo tried his best to make himself speak more clearly. He turned his head and looked at the people in the room, and everyone nodded in agreement with his statement.

It seems that nothing will change immediately in a foreseeable period of time, and the days will have to wait like this day by day.

"Brother, I understand." Sanlang took a deep look at Zhou Bo. The eldest brother did not want to put the pressure on his parents to turn over the case on his shoulders, but to solve this matter before he could put himself lightly. It was really well-intentioned.

"Dashun despises merchants and focuses on agriculture, and even merchants can't even wear silk. If you want to change the status of our Zhou family, Sanlang, you can only rely on you!" Therefore, he wants to protect him from emerging from many unstable factors.

Sanlang gritted his teeth, and the competition for other people's direct concubines has always been a lot. Even the Wang family can't avoid vulgarity. His eldest brother, he has always been secretly compared with him when he was a child, and will also hate him for being outstanding except for his poor learning, so that he studied so hard, that is, he can't The field hit him, but who would have thought that the eldest brother valued him so much and respected him!

Looking at Zhou Bo's still light appearance, he was a little more easy-going and leisurely against the candlelight, which made the eldest brother, who was as handsome as jade, more and more handsome.

Sanlang got up solemnly and bowed to the eldest brother respectfully, "Brother, don't worry!"

The little knot in the deepest part of his heart collapsed like this, so Sanlang was in a good mood and was even more convinced of his eldest brother.

"What is this?" Zhou Bo frowned slightly, and the second mother hurried over to help Sanlang get up. "They are all their own brothers. Why do you make such a big gift?"

"It's just that I suddenly thought of the eldest brother's hard work for this family, and I sighed in my heart." Sanlang smiled faintly. He just understood some things, but he would not say it. He would definitely work harder in the next three years! For myself, for my eldest brother, for the Zhou family!

In Confucianism, the level of a person's social status should depend on the person's moral level. The ideal state is that the higher the moral level, the higher your social status. Only people with a high moral level can lead or discipline people with low moral standards. Scholars are sages who read wisely, and of course, have the highest moral level. Merchants are only for profit, but of course, morality is the most humble.

At the beginning, didn't you also feel ashamed of the son of a businessman, so do you want to be angry and strive for the perfect change from businessman to scholar? But think about it again, the current "shi" often still have "business" and "if you don't get rich, you won't come to death". Isn't it just that the profit is chaotic?

Er Niang wiped her tears and stamped her feet to complain: "Brother, you have this idea. Why didn't you tell us earlier that it made us just be anxious."

"Liang'er thinks that the second sister is right. It's the eldest brother's fault!" The fourth mother looked up and echoed the second sister. She was also moved in her heart, so she pretended to cooperate with the second mother in a relaxed tone.

I have always felt that the eldest brother was superior, and no one could guess his mind, and no one dared to go against his will, but they didn't expect that the eldest brother was the one who thought the most.

Xue Jian plays the role of chief audience today. First, she doesn't know much about today's social form, and second, she doesn't understand the experience of the Zhou family. She only knew that according to the ancient understanding, the behavior standard of "shi" was elegant and noble, but Xuejian's identity as a time traveler made her understand that the "shi" in the era before she traveled was a "businessman", and constantly created new low moral standards and constantly pursued interests, from real estate speculation to poisonous milk powder. From the crispness of the building to the gutter oil, do your best.

In the first place, she did not have the concept of "shi, farmer, industry and commerce", and was full of envy and hatred of modern "shi" such things. Therefore, she did not have any inferiority complex about herself traveling to the merchant's home and marrying as a merchant woman. She did not know that the ancients were "all kinds of low-grade, only by reading high", so that she could establish virtue in her heart, make contributions to the world, declare virtue in words, and be praised by future generations.

Looking at her ignorant appearance, Zhou Bo explained in a low voice, "The people in the temple think that businessmen pursue profits. If everyone wants to engage in business, the social atmosphere will slowly change to profit. Of course, this is also this misunderstanding caused by some businessmen to do some disgraceful things for profit."

It is because of the identity of "business" that the Zhou family is involved in right and wrong, and they can't break free. Therefore, today's Zhou Bo does not come forward to do business by himself. He has set up shopkeepers and large and small stewants. He has been too involved in the improvement of agricultural affairs. He knows the etiquette in order to give people the impression of changing from business to farming.
