Chapter 17: The Heart Is Too Tired

Happy event? Do I want to have a sister?" Fang Zhengzhi leaned his little head against the muddy window, and pricked up his ears to listen.

Then, he understood that the so-called happy event was related to the Taoist Hall, which seemed to mean that the Shenhou Mansion had given special gifts and given one more place to Nanshan Village in addition to the original eight quotas, but there was one condition, the age must be six to eight years old.

Six to eight years old? Why are there such strange conditions......

Fang Zhengzhi couldn't figure it out.

However, Qin Xuelian didn't seem to pay attention to these, and was very excited to discuss with her father whether to stuff some silver for the village elder.

"When I was selected last time, the sister-in-law of the Li family must have stuffed silver for the village chief!"

"Why, the village chief is still quite fair. Daddy explained.

"I don't care, this time it's my turn anyway, you will go to the village chief's house with me in the evening, and talk about it together, when the time comes, mention the matter of your arm, do you hear?"

"This, well......"

There was no accident, at night, Fang Zhengzhi was left alone at home, looking at the bright moonlight and counting the twinkling stars in the sky......

......

Just as he was in a daze, Fang Zhengzhi was woken up by a low cry.

Carefully pushed open the door and saw that his mother-in-law Qin Xuelian was sitting in the inner room with tears in her eyes, while her father was standing carefully beside her and comforting her.

"Why, why did you give it to the Li family again!"

"The village chief must have his ideas in mind when he does this...... "Daddy Fang Houde whispered to persuade.

"Thoughts? Don't you just think that Li Zhuangshi has passed the examination, and moreover, he has lifted a five-hundred-pound big black tripod? Thinking that in the future, if Li Zhuangshi passes the first list in the Daodian exam of the Mansion Examination, he will be able to get the cultivation of the Shenhou Mansion! He is clearly currying up the Li family!"

"However, Li Zhuang's realization is indeed the greatest hope of the whole village......

"I don't care! Li Zhuangshi is Li Zhuangshi, Li Hu'er is Li Hu'er, my family is not weaker than Li Hu'er, Li Hu'er lost the election last time!"

"Alas......"

A sigh, revealing a desolate loneliness, also told Fang Houde's helplessness, while Qin Xuelian became more and more sad the more she thought about it, and the sobbing voice became louder and louder......

Thinking of Qin Xuelian's joyful expression before, and hearing the current conversation, Fang Zhengzhi probably understood what was going on.

It seems that the village chief should have given the extra place to Li Hu'er, right?

All right......

Presumably, he couldn't enter this Dao Hall by himself, Fang Zheng looked up at the sky, thinking that if he couldn't enter the Dao Hall, then he would have to think of something else.

In fact, Fang Zhengzhi didn't care too much about whether he could enter the Taoist Hall to study.

What he needs is a means to hide people's ears, and he needs to let the whole village know that he has started to study and read, so that if he can read in the future, even if he is a little surprised, it will not be too unacceptable.

Let the whole village know that they are reading and writing? Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Fang Zhengzhi's mind.

"Mother, in fact, if you don't enter the Taoist hall, you can also study by yourself......"

"Don't enter the Dao Hall, study by yourself?!" Qin Xuelian, who was sitting in the inner room crying, heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, her whole body suddenly trembled, and she quickly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeve.

"Why did Zheng'er wake up......" Fang Houde looked a little embarrassed when he saw Fang Zhengzhi at the door of the house.

"Hehe, isn't Zheng'er a little hungry? Niang will make you something to eat!" Qin Xuelian quickly showed a smile, walked in front of Fang Zhengzhi, squatted down, and then hugged Fang Zhengzhi in her arms.

A warm breath poured into Fang Zheng's heart, and his mother and father didn't seem to be willing to let herself see her weak side.

"Zheng'er is really good......" Qin Xuelian's mouth read softly, but her body couldn't help but tremble.

......

The following days returned to peace, but to Fang Zhengzhi's strange thing, his father suddenly disappeared, in the words of his mother, it was a long trip.

At the same time, in a huge mansion in a certain city in the Northern Desert.

Dressed in a pink suit, the rampaging Lolita Chi Guyan with eyes as bright as stars sat in front of a bookcase, looking down at a note in his hand.

"Li Hu'er, six years old, this little thief's name is really enough for a turtle!"

The lone cigarette of the rampaging Lolita Pond flicked his hand, and the note flew into the stove not far away, and then, after thinking about it, he picked up the pen on the bookcase and began to write on the white paper in front of him.

"Someone!" After writing, the lone smoke of the rampaging Loli Chi called softly.

"Miss, please command!" a sergeant who was guarding the doorway immediately walked in and fell to one knee on the ground.

"Take this question to Nanshan Village, and you will personally assess a six-year-old child named Li Hu'er in the Dao Hall of Nanshan Village!" "Lone Yan pointed to the white paper in front of him.

The sergeant immediately stepped forward and held the white paper on the bookcase in both hands.

Then, looking down, the sergeant's expression was a little strange......

"Six-year-old boy?" the sergeant didn't dare to ask, but he couldn't help but make sure he had heard it wrong.

"Well, if this Li Hu'er can answer, throw him into the small river at the entrance of the village, remember to kick him down, of course, don't hurt his life, but if he can't answer...... Ten sticks on the spot!"

"Yes!" the sergeant immediately retreated.

After walking out of the door, the sergeant picked up the topic on the note again and looked at it, and suddenly felt some sympathy for the child named Li Hu'er, because even he found it a little difficult on this topic, let alone a six-year-old child in Nanshan Village.

The most important thing is that whether this Li Hu'er can answer or not, it is quite miserable.

After the sergeant left, the rampaging Lolita Chi Guyan took care of himself and turned over a book that recorded the art of war in his hand, flipped through it casually, stood up again, and walked to the door.

"If the map of all things is really solved by this thief, then this problem is not difficult......! What if this little thief answers? Do you want to recruit him into the Divine Mansion? Look at him every day? Hmm...... It should be called torturing him every day, hehe......"

......

Today's Nanshan Village is very lively, because the Taoist Hall was finally built with the joint efforts of the villagers, the location sits in the north and faces south, spacious and bright, and all of them are made of fine bluestone piles.

A mahogany plaque at the door is flat, and there are two vigorous and powerful words "Daotang" written on it, which are given to the Shenhou Mansion, loaded and transported by the carriage, and it is also stamped with the bright red square seal of the Shenhou Mansion.

In the hall, there are four small courtyards, two lecture halls, a martial arts training ground, and a rest room.

Fang Zhengzhi was not qualified to enter, he had seen a few times during the initial construction of the hall, and heard it when two gentlemen in robes were holding small black stick strokes for teaching.

In addition, there are several large characters written on paper and ink outside the hall.

Today's Lecture: "The Three Character Classic of the Enlightenment of the Taoist Classics"

Slightly stunned, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly had a scene in his mind, everyone was shaking their heads and carrying "At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"

All right......

Fang Zhengzhi felt that it was not necessarily a mistake for him not to enter the Taoist Hall, and if he really let him follow these people to recite the "Three Character Classic" there, he would really be a little "too tired".

The first people to enter the hall were naturally very high-profile.

The villagers of the whole village gathered around the door of the hall and shouted congratulations to those who entered the hall.

The village chief Meng Bai personally smiled and sent his grandson Meng Jiangshan to the threshold of the hall, and Li Zhuang actually led Li Hu'er to return the salute one by one in the congratulatory voices of a group of villagers.

When Fang Zhengzhi noticed Li Hu'er at the door of the Dao Hall, Li Hu'er also noticed him.

It's just that the expressions of the two are different.

Fang Zheng's eyes were calm, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face.

Li Hu'er was different, with a bright and smug smile on his lips, and raised his thick arms straight at Fang Zheng, and his little head was raised even higher.

It seems to be saying: Look, master, I am the one who entered the Taoist Hall to study!

When the two of them were looking at each other, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was tapped on the shoulder.

As soon as he turned around, a familiar figure appeared in his sight, it was his father Fang Houde, who had disappeared for several days, Fang Houde, who was wearing shabby animal skins, looked a little rustic, his eyes were full of bloodshots, his face was pale, and he seemed to be a little tired, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

"Zheng'er, what do you think this is?"
