Gu Zhao said with a bitter face, "Little girls' toys are the most boring."

Although he said so, Gu Zhao still took out a big bag from the house. After opening it, it was full of all kinds of messy gadgets.

"What do you want to play?" Gu Zhao asked.

Luo Zhang and Fang Yuan saw that there was a big red hair flower in the pile of gadgets, and they suspected that it was a girl's game like playing house, and they couldn't help but take two steps back.

Niu Niu rolled her eyes and asked, "Playing house, you play the daughter and I play the father."

"I don't want to play!" Luo Zhang and Fang Yuan said in unison.

Niu Niu was easy to talk to, and asked, "How about playing shuttlecock?"

The two new friends chose to play shuttlecock without hesitation between playing girls and playing shuttlecock.

They couldn't help thinking in their hearts that if they had known this, they might as well catch insects, at least they would look more manly.

As soon as Mr. Luo walked out of the house, he saw his grandson Luo Zhang kicking shuttlecock in the yard, sweating profusely.

Niuniu clenched her fists and shouted beside him: "It's almost ten, come on!"

Luo Zhang kicked the shuttlecock clumsily, his body twisted and turned, and he was about to lose it, but he caught it in a very thrilling way.

Luo Zhang's nanny frowned and stared at him, whispering: "Grandpa, the young master is usually clean, but today he looks like he has rolled in the mud."

Mr. Luo waved his hand casually. Not only did he not stop him, but he said with relief: "Since his mother passed away, the child hasn't been so happy for a long time."

That day, the Luo family stayed at Gu's house until dusk before leaving.

Luo Zhang and Fang Yuan were reluctant to leave because they hadn't met a playmate they got along with for a long time.

Gu Zhao was reluctant to see them leave, because he missed a day's class because of the guests.

But when he was eating, he was shocked to learn that he would go to Luo's house to study.

"I study well at home, why should I go to someone else's house to study..." Gu Zhao was very unhappy.

But he couldn't change what the elders had decided.

Niuniu tilted her head and asked Gu Mingda: "I still have to work in the shop, I can't study every day, and I'm still a girl, Dad, how about I not make trouble?"

Gu Mingda reached out and touched Niuniu's soft hair, and said softly: "Girls also have to study hard, and studying will never make trouble. Besides, there are rest days when studying in Luo's house, you can just go to the shop on that day."

Niuniu looked at Zhang Yuniang reluctantly, tears were about to flow out: "Won't I have no time to accompany you? Compared to studying, I prefer to accompany my parents, grandparents."

Niuniu's emotion was sincere.

Gu Zhao, as if he had been reminded suddenly, imitated Niu Niu and said pitifully: "I don't want to study, I just want to accompany you..."

But in response, Gu Mingda tapped him on the forehead lightly: "You think the bug is real, and you think we are all fake."

Gu Mingda looked at the four children solemnly again: "The gentleman invited by the Luo family to sit in the hall is a juren. Ordinary people can't even want to visit him. This opportunity is rare, so you must cherish it."

Gu Yun raised his hand hesitantly.

"Second uncle, I'm going to practice martial arts. You know me. If I really study, I'm afraid my brain will be dizzy..." Gu Yun said.

Gu Zhao nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, yes, I can't study either. I get dizzy when I study."

Gu Mingda glanced at Gu Zhao lightly, and Gu Zhao immediately lowered his head in fear.

"Ayun, you can't stay in the government office as a strong class for the rest of your life. Have you thought about your future livelihood?" Gu Mingda asked earnestly.

Gu Yun asked quietly, "Uncle, you asked me to worship Captain Chen as your master. Don't you want me to stay in the yamen forever?"

Gu Yun didn't have such a long-term vision. He thought that this was the path arranged by Gu Mingda for him. After all, Gu Mingda spent so much effort on entertaining and giving gifts. No matter how you look at it, it seems that he is going for a long-term relationship.

Gu Mingda shook his head and said, "Now the yamen is short of talents, so it will recruit a bunch of strong teams. What if the yamen is not short of people? When Wu County Magistrate's term is over, the county magistrate will be replaced. The new county magistrate will also place new people in the yamen. Obviously, you will be kicked out first."

Gu Yun felt a chill on his back and asked, "Uncle, what do you think I should do?"

"Read more books and learn more words. I don't ask your knowledge to reach the level of the imperial examination, but at least you can handle the simplest clerical work in the yamen with ease." Gu Mingda said.

Gu Yun thought carefully, who is the one who handles these clerical work in the yamen? It is the clerk.

He couldn't help but breathe faster: "Second uncle, I... can I also be a clerk?"

He didn't stay in the yamen for nothing these days. Being the lowest-ranking constable, he could already get a lot of benefits. Not to mention the monthly salary, the merchants would take the initiative to send them some tributes every now and then.

If he could become a clerk, he would not have to be a slave, and it would be more glorious than the constables. He would also become a big man in Qingshui Village.

Gu Mingda nodded gently and said: "I always asked you to read more and learn more words, but you never listened. If you were a little more motivated, you wouldn't be just a strong class now."

Gu Yun wanted to travel back and slap the self who didn't like to study.

But fortunately, everything was still in time. Gu Yun said: "Second uncle, don't worry, nephew will definitely change his past and never let you down."

As if he was not satisfied with his own progress, he pulled Gu Zhao, who was crying beside him, and said, "Second uncle, I am the eldest brother. I will keep an eye on my younger brothers and sisters in their studies and never let them be lazy."

Gu Zhao felt a blackness in front of his eyes.

When it was night and it was almost time to go to bed, the couple saw that their daughter was still depressed because she had to leave home to study every day.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't bear it and said softly, "Mom also wants Niuniu to accompany me all the time, but our Niuniu is very talented in studying, and parents are still looking forward to Niuniu becoming a talented girl. Talented girls don't grow out of thin air in the ground, so they can't do without studying."

Niuniu sighed, looked at her parents, and said, "Niuniu likes to study, and Niuniu also knows that this is a very rare opportunity, but Niuniu likes to accompany her family the most. Why can't she study at home like before?"

In Niuniu's eyes, nothing in the world is more important than family.

Zhang Yunniang's heart tightened when she heard it, and she took her little daughter into her arms. She even wanted to tell Gu Mingda to forget about it on the spot.

But parents love their children and always want to pave a solid path for their children.

Gu Mingda sighed and said, "My dear, people in this world have different requirements for men and women. People expect men to make achievements and enter the imperial examinations. They hope that they will live a glorious life and then sigh that they are great men."

"But for women, people think that they should be trapped in the inner house. When they reach a certain age, they will find a husband to marry, and then manage the household affairs. Their lives are limited to the narrow sky, and they cannot see the distance of mountains and rivers, and cannot feel the vastness of the world."

Niuniu heard this and looked at Zhang Yuniang with a half-understanding look: "But don't mother and grandmother live like this?"

Gu Mingda nodded and said, "They do, but Dad doesn't want you to be like this."
