Chapter 121 Welcome
At the urging of the old lady, everyone in the Gu family started to move.
When the Luo family came to the door, the chickens in the yard were all clean, and there was not even a piece of chicken **** in the chicken coop.
The leader was an old man with silver hair and a sick look on his face. He needed help when walking. He walked in with a slight trembling, and the Gu family couldn't help but feel scared, fearing that he might do something wrong at home.
Not only did the two children come, but there were also many servants behind them, all holding brocade boxes in their hands.
Gu Mingda already knew the identity of the old man beforehand and saluted on the spot: "Student Gu Mingda, I have met Mr. Luo."
Even though Mr. Luo was trembling, he still stretched out his hand, took Gu Mingda's hand, and said: "I am just an old man from the countryside now. There is no need to be so polite. Zhongde, I am older than your father. Please call me." Just Shibo.”
Although Mr. Luo held a high position in the past, he is now an official. He is not a person who pays attention to ostentation. He wants to get close to each other. Gu Mingda has always been smooth and transparent. Soon the whole room was filled with the old man's hearty laughter.
During the conversation, after a few random questions, Mr. Luo looked surprised: "Zhongde's top talent should have been in high school long ago, but I don't want to delay it until now."
The old man was not eccentric, but sincerely puzzled. Gu Mingda quoted scriptures casually, and it was obvious that he had a very deep and thorough knowledge and understanding. In the eyes of the old man, it was normal for him to have become an official long ago.
Gu Mingda said calmly: "I'm sorry to say that students have bad luck in taking exams. Every time they take the exam, something unexpected happens."
Mr. Luo then said with a clear face, "Now that the difficulties are over, the future will definitely be smooth."
Gu Mingda immediately held up his hands and thanked him, saying, "I accept your kind words."
Mr. Luo turned his head again, smiled and said to Niuniu, who had a silver bell hanging on her hair: "Niuniu, thanks to you, otherwise my Zhang would not be there now."
When Niuniu heard this, she waved her hands grandly and said, "Grandpa Luo, I just have a good ear. Anyone who hears it will help."
Mr. Luo looked at the cute appearance of the little girl's squirting milk, and said quickly: "There are many people in this world who stand by and watch. They are pure and kind-hearted, which is even more rare. Your Gu family has a good family tradition, and the children you raise are all good-looking."
Gu Mingda smiled and said: "Shibo is so complimentary, they are just a bunch of kids, they don't deserve your praise."
While he was talking, he happened to see Gu Zhao making faces at Luo Zhang, and immediately waved to Gu Zhao and Niu Niu, asking them to take their new friends out to play.
Gu Yun and Gu Yan were older, so they were left behind.
Mr. Luo looked at the two eldest members of the Gu family. Gu Yun was full of youthful spirit. Although Gu Yan was young, he was already quite knowledgeable, and he looked at them very warmly.
Mr. Luo didn't have many descendants. The third generation of his family only had a little grandson named Luo Zhang.
During the conversation, Gu Mingda also learned about the situation of the Luo family. The two children he rescued that day, the younger Luo Zhang, was the grandson of Mr. Luo, and the older Fang Yuan was just the nephew of the Luo family's aunt.
Fang Yuan's parents died, and he had nowhere to go but his aunt who worked as a concubine in the Luo family. She stayed with Luo Zhang every day and was responsible for taking care of Luo Zhang.
Mr. Luo retired from office last year and brought his two children back to his hometown. His son is still working as an official in the capital. After this incident, the Luo family felt grateful that Fang Yuan had risked his life to protect Luo Zhang and regarded him as a serious young master of the Luo family.
"Zhongde, you are so focused on studying that you may not have time to take care of these little ones. Why don't you send them to my Luo family? The two children, A Zhang and A Yuan, are studying together. After all, they are a little lonely. Someone is with them, so you can chase after me." You can also learn better," Mr. Luo suggested.
The Luo family had few heirs and not many clan members. They did not set up a clan school, but hired civil and military teachers to teach at home.
During the conversation, Mr. Luo not only did not miss out on Niuniu, but even Gu Yun, the oldest, could learn martial arts from the Luo family's martial arts master.
Compared with those brocade boxes stacked high together, Mr. Luo's proposal really solved Gu Mingda's urgent need. He was devoted to the imperial examination. Although he would check the children's homework every day, it was inevitable that there would be times when he failed to catch up, especially A playful person like Gu Zhao needs a strict teacher to teach him the most.
In the yard, four children gathered together. Gu Zhao showed off the little goldfish to Luo Zhang: "This is my and my sister's fish. From now on, they will flick their tails for us."
Fang Yuan nodded naively and said, "Azhao is right."
The younger Luo Zhang had a constipated expression on his face. He wanted to refute, but his family was their savior. If he refuted, it would appear that he was very ungrateful.
But he didn't agree with Gu Zhao's idea at all.
Gu Zhaoke didn't know what he was thinking, and his face collapsed on the spot: "What are you doing to put on such a bad face? Do you want to bully my sister again?"
How could Luo Zhang be willing to take such a heavy blame? He just said: "I'm grateful to your sister before it's too late. Why would you show her such a bad face?"
Niu Niu stood aside, looking at him with big watery eyes, and asked: "Master Luo Zhang, do you think what my brother said is wrong?"
When the little girl saw him like this, Luo Zhang felt embarrassed and said, "No... nothing is wrong. Don't call me that. You can just call me A Zhang."
Fang Yuan said naively: "Just call me A Yuan."
After saying that, he scratched the back of his head as usual, but he scratched the gauze wrapping his forehead and almost tore the gauze open on the spot.
Luo Zhang said angrily: "Brother, I asked you to stop scratching your head. Why don't you have a long memory? After a while, you tore the wound again. Let me see what you do!"
Fang Yuan laughed: "A Zhang, what did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
Luo Zhang: "Don't scratch your head."
Fang Yuan: "The previous sentence."
Luo Zhang: "Brother."
Fang Yuan became visibly happy: "Hey, I remember it!"
Luo Zhang didn't call him brother at all in the past, he always said "hello" one by one. Fang Yuan felt so happy when he heard his brother calling him brother.
Luo Zhang looked at Fang Yuan's stupidity and secretly cursed a fool. He just called "brother" and was so happy that he didn't care about anything.
Gu Zhao looked at the two of them, but couldn't help but want to pull Niu Niu back, and whispered: "They look so stupid."
Niu Niu said helplessly: "Brother, if you speak like this, they can hear you."
Sure enough, Luo Zhang and Fang Yuan turned their heads and stared at Gu Zhao at the same time.
Gu Zhao didn't know what he was embarrassed about, so he took the initiative and asked: "Want some bugs? I will take you to find bugs."
Luo Zhang and Fang Yuan shook their heads at the same time, as if they were grateful.
Niuniu suddenly became visibly happy and said, "Brother, I accompanied you to find bugs yesterday, you should listen to me today!"
