When he arrived at Wutong Courtyard, Geng Yan saw Liang Ben and casually raised his hand, then sat there with a golden sword. When he heard Liang Ben's intention, he frowned and hummed: "I won't go! The whole family I can’t be bothered to deal with the hypocrisy.”
Liang Ben's expression did not change, but he knew in his heart that this was the most difficult person to speak to.
No matter what happened to Geng Cheng, there is still someone in the second room who understands.
But in Wutong Courtyard, Liang Ben glanced at Jiang, who was sitting there with nothing to do, Geng Xingchen, who seemed to be in a daze, and Geng Shu, who punched me and I pinched you. I know that no one in this family can speak.
"The third master, the eldest master and the second master all agreed, and at the beginning..."
"Brother agreed?" Geng Yan interrupted Liang Ben and asked.
"Yes!" Liang Ben nodded affirmatively.
"Forget it, I won't embarrass you, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's the old man's order, why don't I just go?"
Geng Yan agreed, and Liang Ben breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Geng Yan murmur in a low voice, "I will threaten you with that matter. Let me see how many more times you can threaten..."
Walking out of the Wutong Courtyard, Liang Ben sighed silently in his heart as he looked at the courtyard that was getting more dilapidated day by day despite being cleaned every day.
A Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet is a custom in other houses, but in this uncle's house, it was planned by the uncle with the highest status and seniority, but he encountered many obstacles in the first step of inviting people. Tomorrow's reunion banquet will start He has thought about it, but he really doesn't know where it will end.
It will be as the uncle expected, the elders are talking, the juniors are laughing, sitting under the full moon, eliminating all misunderstandings, no, that is not a misunderstanding, that is what really happened, I can only say that they Are you willing to cancel each other out?
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky was beautiful, the sky was clear, and the autumn breeze was gentle. Since I had to go to Yide Courtyard for dinner in the evening, Geng Yan brought wine to Qingcui Courtyard at noon.
"I know brother, you have prepared a lot of dishes. I also brought the dishes prepared by our family, as well as wine. Our two families will have a real reunion festival together first!"
Geng Yan had a loud voice, and he started shouting before he entered the courtyard. It didn't take long for his words to reach the ears of everyone in the Yide Courtyard and Yinghe Courtyard.
As for what they think, Geng Yan doesn't care.
In the evening, the two families went to Yideyuan together. When they arrived, the people from the second room had already arrived first. Geng Xun and Xia were sitting on the top seat. Geng Cheng was sitting on the first seat below Xia. Sitting in Geng Shulou.
As soon as they saw the people from the third room of the big house arriving, Geng Shulou, Geng Xingshui, Geng Xingbing, Geng Shuyin all stood up and saluted Geng Wen, Geng Yan, Yao and Jiang.
Geng Shuhuai, Geng Xingshuang, Geng Xingchen, Geng Shu succeeded Geng Shuyin and bowed to the Geng Xun Xia family and the Geng Cheng Yao family.
After going back and forth to salute and say hello, everyone finally sat down one by one.
"Okay, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's still early. After dinner, you won't be delayed from going to the street to look at the lights, so children, don't worry, there are a lot of good dishes today."
Geng Xun said with a smile and glanced at Xia next to him.
Xia, however, seemed not to notice Geng Xun's gaze. She sat there with her back stiff, her face as gloomy and resentful as Geng Cheng's.
Geng Xingshuang only glanced at it and stopped looking there.
"It looks like someone owes them eight thousand taels of silver, but in fact they owe us. In the past few years, we have paid 20 taels of silver every month for chewing. I wonder if we have spent 5 taels on it." On yourself!”
Geng Yan leaned into Geng Wen's ear and muttered dissatisfiedly.
I don't know if Geng Cheng sensed Geng Yan's dissatisfaction. He looked at him with a gloomy gaze for a while. This gaze made Geng Yan, who had always been slow, rub his arms unbearably.
"He makes my skin crawl when I see him!"
Geng Wen said: "Then don't look at him."
Plate after plate of exquisite delicacies were served on the table. This was the most sumptuous meal that Geng Xingshuang had eaten in the public house in the past few years, except that his eldest brother spent his own money to buy it from outside. However, the people at this table , except for Geng Shuji and Geng Shuyin who couldn't help but have a little fuss even while eating, no one should really focus on this table of delicious food.
Even the youngest Geng Shuyan looked like he was wandering in space. Geng Xingyu still didn't come to today's dinner.
Geng Xingshuang waited for the juniors to wait for time. Just when she felt that most of the time had passed and they would be able to disperse after a while, Geng Xun spoke again.
"It's less than a month before the Autumn Festival. Brother Lou has to take part in this year's provincial examination. He can't be distracted. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he still goes to Licai Academy to study. Brother Huai happens to be there too. You two brothers can also take care of each other and love each other. Mo is going to end this year too, right?”
Geng Xun asked Geng Wen for this last sentence.
Geng Wen nodded, "Yes!"
There is nothing to hide.
"Shao Jing has been working as an official outside these years. I heard that Suzhou is not peaceful. Although Peng County is the most remote county in Suzhou, parents and officials in this county have no leisure time. I can't blame Shao Jing. These days I didn’t pay much attention to Qing Mo in 2008. After I was admitted as a scholar, I couldn’t always work as an escort in Pingcheng. It was really too much nonsense. I don’t know if my studies have been neglected in the past three years. Brother Lou, Qing Mo is your future after all. ... Our family is well connected with the Yang family. In the past two months, you should pay more attention to Qingmo's homework. If you need to correct me, don't be stingy. You must know that in the autumn examination, your opponent will be It's not Qingmo, but thousands of officials who are competing with you for the qualification to be elected. You will also participate in the Spring Festival in the future. If you guard against your own family at this time, that is what a fool would do."
Geng Xun taught earnestly, and the person who spoke seemed to speak from the bottom of his heart. Those who listened... Geng Shulou immediately stood up and cupped his hands towards Geng Xun.
"My grandson will remember his grandfather's teachings and will never do anything that would make his opponents look down upon or make his relatives and friends feel downhearted. This time when he returns to the academy, his grandson will go find Qingmo and discuss knowledge with him."
Geng Xun nodded with satisfaction, beckoned him to sit down, "Okay, eat the food quickly!"
Geng Yan asked Geng Wen in a low voice, "Brother, how is your future son-in-law doing? Although I hated the second brother before, I had high hopes for Brother Lou. Now...why do I feel that he is becoming more and more like the second brother, but I have high hopes?" He will be overpowered by the sixth son of the Yang family, and then... hehe... the second brother's face will definitely look good!"
To be honest, Geng Wen had no idea about Yang Qingmo's homework, whether he could pass the exam, and whether he could pass Geng Shulou's exam.
After all, Geng Xun was right. Geng Shulou has been studying hard in the academy in the past few years, but Yang Qingmo has traveled almost all over Daning. Does he have time to study? Even if you are studying, studying is not done behind closed doors. The gentlemen from Licai Academy in Geng Shulou always teach you, what does Yang Qingmo have?
"Brother Mo..." Geng Wen replied thoughtfully: "He is younger than Brother Lou. If he fails this year, it will be the same if he takes the exam again in three years."
Geng Yan let out a disappointed "Ah", this was not the answer he wanted to hear.
