Chapter 442: The Delayed Dalang

Gu Fei began to worry about Gu Qing's future exams, but then she felt that she was worrying too much. Gu Qing was not even a scholar now, so she was really worrying too much.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the exam came. In the evening, some candidates who stayed in the hotel also came back.

Some took sedan chairs, and some took carriages. When they got off, their eyes were sunken and they were weak. They were all supported by servants.

There was a scholar in the hotel. He asked for a room, but he didn't bring anyone to serve him. He walked to the door of the store alone.

Gu Fei hurriedly called Xiaolu and Hepingzi to help him in.

After helping the scholar to the lobby, Gu Fei asked the kitchen to bring a bowl of hot soup. The scholar drank it, and his face had some color.

Gu Fei also asked Tie Niu to bring water to the scholar's room.

After all, the weather was still hot. He hadn't taken a bath for three days, so his body was stinky.

The scholar took a bath, ate something, and slept for a long time before waking up.

The next day, he went downstairs and thanked Gu Fei solemnly.

The next day was Mid-Autumn Festival. Gu Fei arranged the store, had lunch and went home to celebrate the festival.

Gu Qing also came back from vacation today. Gu Fei hadn't seen her elder brother for a month or two. Seeing that Gu Qing had studied, he became more and more calm and composed, which was very different from the farmer in the past.

When Gu Qing saw his sister, he couldn't wait to tell her the good news, "I got the first place in Class B in this month's monthly exam."

Gu Fei was really surprised, "First place?"

What else can I say about getting the first place in a place like Qinglian Academy? There should be no problem in taking the exam for a scholar next year.

She was happy and regretful, "It would have been better if my elder brother had gone to school earlier. This is still delayed."

Gu Qing is 22 years old this year. Gu Zhang taught him to read when he was a few years old, and later sent him to school when he was six years old.

That year, Gu Zhang was sick, and the family had no money to let him go to school, so they even sold their sister.

Later, it took several years for the family to recover, and they bought a few acres of land and barely made a living.

Gu Fei brought back not much money for the month, and the family finally saved only more than ten taels of silver.

No one dared to touch this silver, and it was kept for Gu Fei to redeem herself.

Therefore, there was no extra money for Gu Qing to study, and he was delayed until now.

Chen heard it nearby and couldn't help wiping tears, "It's all your father and I who are useless. Dalang was delayed."

Gu Fei saw her mother crying again, and hurriedly said, "It's not a delay. There are still people in their forties and fifties who are still taking the exam for scholars."

Lanzhi saw Chen crying and came to interrupt, "Xiao Fei and Big Brother haven't been back for a long time. Our house is half built. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Gu Fei almost forgot about it. The village chief showed her the blueprint before, and she made some suggestions and changed a few places and didn't care.

Hearing Lanzhi's words, he immediately became interested and pulled her mother, "Mom, let's go and see the house."

The newly built house was not far from here, and the group walked for more than a quarter of an hour and arrived.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, no one is working, only Yinsheng from the village chief's family is here, guarding some bricks and wood, afraid that they will be stolen.

Yinsheng saw that the Gu family had come, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

Gu Fei's family is a three-courtyard house. She didn't let the house be built too big. A big house with empty people is not good feng shui.

Next to the left is the house of the eldest aunt, next to the village chief's family and Zhang Lao's family, and on the right is the house of the younger uncle, and next to the younger uncle's family is the eldest uncle's family.

They are lined up in a row, neat and tidy.

But at the moment, the other families have only laid the foundation, and only Gu Fei's family has half of the wall built.
