Farming and reading family

Same name.

My husband's name is Chen Ke.

To support her husband in taking the imperial examination in Beijing, she sold her son...

The more Gao E thought about it, the more similar it seemed, except that the epitaph about Gao E only said that she gave birth to five sons and then died, nothing else.

Let’s sort out the original owner’s memories again.

The original owner was born in a small landlord family. She had been arrogant since she was a child and wanted to marry an official. However, her family background was too low, so she could only look at the common people who passed the imperial examination.

She thought that if the scholar passed the imperial examination, she would also be able to rise to become an official's wife.

So after Chen Ke passed the imperial examination, she married him with a generous dowry.

After being married to Chen Ke for only ten years, her dowry was all spent, and Chen Ke still had not graduated from high school.

This time, in order to raise money for Chen Ke to hire a famous teacher, he even sold his eldest son.

The epitaph only said that Chen Ke sold his sons for the imperial examination, but did not say that the eldest son was sold by his wife.

Gao E still felt a little lucky, thinking, could it be such a coincidence?

If this is true, doesn't it mean that she will die again after giving birth to this child?

The flash flood had come suddenly before, and the stone tablet had fallen and killed her instantly, but she really didn't want to experience the fear of death again.

"Dad?" Chen Duokui suddenly shouted.

The voice frightened Gao E, and she turned around to see a man in his thirties running towards her.

Chen Ke?

Gao E was stunned for a moment. She received the original owner's memory and knew all the information about the original owner, but she was still a little unfamiliar with her husband.

Chen Ke turned his head and saw his eldest son running towards him immediately. He pulled his eldest son behind him and looked at Gao E vigilantly.

Gao E was confused by the look on her face, and suddenly thought, shouldn't Chen Ke be on his way to the capital right now?

Why did you suddenly appear here?

After Chen Ke was reborn, he rushed back without stopping, hoping to stop Gao from selling her eldest son.

Thinking about how he pursued fame and fortune all his life, and finally died of hunger and cold, and how four of his five sons were sold and one was adopted, it is extremely sad.

Moreover, he also saw clearly how unfair the imperial examination was to common people like them. They were not rare, and common people like them had no place in the officialdom.

In this life, he just wants his wife and children to live well.

"Dad, why did you come back suddenly?" Chen Duokui spoke first to break the awkwardness between his parents.

When Gao E heard her eldest son say this, she looked at Chen Ke in confusion.

"I..." Chen Ke naturally wouldn't say something as outrageous as being reborn. "Something unexpected happened. Have you had lunch?"

Chen Duokui swallowed and lowered his head.

"Not yet." Gao E reacted quickly, "I was planning to take the boss out to dinner."

"Then let's go together." Chen Ke said and turned around.

He raised his hand to hold his son's hand, but saw his son standing aside respectfully, somewhat distant.

Seeing his eldest son like this, he felt a little sad. He had set too many rules in the past, and his sons had never been close to him since they were young.

Gao E saw this detail, but didn't know what was going on.

So the couple took their son to a restaurant for dinner, each with their own thoughts.

Chen Ke secretly looked at Gao E several times. His wife died early in his previous life, and he felt a little guilty towards her. After all, he never let her become an official's wife until her death.

In his reborn life, he doesn't plan to take the imperial examination for the time being, and he doesn't know how to tell her.

And when the fifth child is born, she will...

Thinking of this, Chen Ke sighed subconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Gao E asked subconsciously when she heard Chen Ke sigh.

Chen Ke smiled awkwardly: "Why did you suddenly bring Kui'er to the city?"

Gao E felt guilty when she heard Chen Ke asking this. Although it was the original owner who sold her son, in everyone's eyes they were the same person.

"That..." Gao E's mind raced.

"I begged my mother to bring me here." Chen Duokui said hurriedly.

Gao E looked at Chen Duokui in surprise, feeling a little guilty. Why would the original owner want to sell such a sensible child?

孽 孽!

After saying that, Chen Duokui lowered his head to eat. After all, he was still young and couldn't lie.

"Oh." Chen Ke had a dry expression, but he didn't ask Gao E what she was doing in the city.

After the family of three had dinner, Chen Ke took them out of the city, thinking about how to explain to Gao why he suddenly came back.

Also, he will not take part in the imperial examination next year.

Not only do I have to explain to Gao, I also have to explain to his parents.

If his parents knew that he would not take part in the imperial examination next year, they would be very disappointed.

Thinking of this, Chen Ke lowered his head lower and lower.

He is the hope of the whole family, but he drags the whole family into the abyss.

Gao E suddenly stopped and said, "Shall we buy something to take back?"

Chen Ke stood there in a daze, looking at Gao E.

"There's nothing to eat at home," Gao E explained.

In order to raise money for Chen Ke to go to the capital, the Chen family sold almost all of their food, and the remaining food was only enough for them to survive by mixing wild vegetables.

Chen Ke squeezed the silver in his bag and took out some small change to give to Gao E: "I don't know much about these menial matters, just buy whatever the family needs."

He still had more than eighty taels of silver in his bag.

It would take the Chen family's life to collect this amount of money, but it was not even enough to go to a nice brothel for a feast in the capital.

"Okay." Gao E took the silver.

She was quite surprised that Chen Ke gave her the money so readily.

Although she didn't know why Chen Ke came back suddenly, she felt a headache when she thought about having to go back and eat boiled wild vegetables and grains with the Chen family.

She first went to buy some salt, and then saw some bones for sale at the vegetable market.

The dogs that were scraping bones all shook their heads when they came, so I spent five cents to buy a lot of them.

Afterwards, she bought some pounded old rice. Now that the autumn harvest had just ended, the price of old rice was much cheaper.

I bought a lot of things, and the sun was setting quite a bit when I left the city.

The Chen family's carriage was stored outside the city, and Gao E took the pair of cards and took the carriage away.

"I'll drive the car." Chen Ke sat in the front.

Gao E nodded and sat inside. When Chen Duokui saw his mother come in, he hurriedly shrank to the side.

Although he spoke up for his mother, he was still a little afraid.

Seeing Chen Duokui like this, Gao E knew that he must be upset about being sold, but she had no idea how to comfort him.

It just suddenly occurred to me that the original owner was so obsessed with face that he would rather sell his son to keep the carriage to show his status.

Moreover, the original owner had also thought of an excuse, saying that Chen Duokui had run away and disappeared.

"Thank you." Gao E said softly and leaned against the car.

Chen Duokui looked at his mother in surprise, with confusion in his eyes. How could his mother say thank you to him?

Ignoring Chen Duokui's doubts, Gao E stroked her belly. She had been trying to have a child for many years without success, but after traveling through time, she became the mother of four children and was pregnant with another one.

I really don’t know whether this time travel is a blessing or a curse.

She was preoccupied with things and didn't realize that the carriage was moving very slowly and that it was getting dark outside.
