I know that it is a reluctant invitation, and I have to speak, is this old man relying on the old man to sell the old, or is he directly out for Bai Yibo? Aren't you afraid of offending Mr. Xie?

Bai Ruozhu wanted to stop her from speaking, this was not because she didn't want the old mansion to take advantage of herself, but because Bai Yibo was so ugly today, it was already very disgusting to Mr. Xie and his wife, and if the old man made any excessive requests, it would seem that the Bai family did not know how to advance or retreat.

Bai Zepei's face was very ugly, and he was gloomy and almost dripping, he invited his teacher to be a guest to thank him, but now that his family is calculating Mr. Xie, everyone will be unhappy, right?

"Dad, today is Erlang's thank you banquet for his teacher, it's too late for us to thank Mr., how can we be embarrassed to cause trouble to others?" Bai Yihong gritted his teeth and said, but he had some style of being a family, and what he said was reasonable, and there was a degree of advance and retreat.

The old man took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his anger, and then sighed very desolately, and said: "I know that my request is a bit excessive, but my old bones are about to die, but I have delayed your eldest brother for many years, and now I also hope that he can have someone to help him, and he can have more knowledge when he goes to the school palace in the future." ”

Bai Ruozhu quietly rolled his eyes, and said that it seemed that before he was sick for a long time, Bai Yibo had been serving him with feces and urine, so it was like delaying the imperial examination.

Well, now that I have passed the exam, it is also **** luck, Bai Ruozhu thought angrily.

Also, also, the old man said that he seemed to have his last breath left, and he was entrusted with a deathbed, and Mr. Xie was embarrassed if he didn't want to agree.

"Where is this talking old man, you have strong bones, don't say that, you will make your children and grandchildren worry and be sad. "In the end, Mr. Xie followed the big officials to the north and south, and he was very smart and didn't agree to come down indiscriminately.

"This old problem can be committed at every turn, I don't have anything to ask for, I just hope that Yibo can have a good future, Erlang is still young, and the foundation is stable, I'm not very worried. The old man said again.

Cut, where is "not very worried", obviously it doesn't matter at all, okay or not? Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but scold again.

Mr. Xie was stared at like this by Old Man Bai, and he really couldn't save face, so he had to say frankly: "Old man, I don't like to deal with others in vain, and if I can't do it, I will delay other people's big things." My current status and status can only recommend one person to the school palace, Ze Pei is my proud protégé, naturally he is the only one, and others are really helpless. ”

Mr. Xie sighed and shook his head as he spoke, with some apology on his face.

"This, this ......" The old man didn't know what to say for a while, he realized that it was impossible for Mr. Xie to lie to him, thought about it and said: "Erlang took the first exam this time, and his future is bright, even if he doesn't have Mr.'s recommendation and support, he can enter a good school palace, but his uncle has worked hard for all these years, and finally has a chance, and his age can't be delayed." ”

After speaking, he looked at Erlang again, and said with a sincere and even pleading tone: "Erlang, why don't you let your uncle? I and your uncle's family will remember you well for the rest of our lives, your uncle will be able to join the ranks in the future, and your uncle and nephew will also have a good look, isn't it?"

This...... Bai Ruozhu felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, she really wanted to scold: Old guy, you are very faceless and skinless!

Mr. Xie said that he wanted to take care of his proud disciple, how old is he Bai Yibo? That is, in the future, Bai Zepei will have a future, and Mr. Xie as a gentleman also has a bright face, but what about Bai Yibo? It is difficult to say whether he can repay his kindness or not.

Also, the township examination and the meeting examination are getting more and more difficult, even if Bai Zepei takes the first exam this time, it does not mean that he will definitely be able to pass guò later, he still has a lot of things to learn, if he can enter the best school, he will definitely make a lot of progress. On the other hand, Bai Yibo, with average knowledge, may have passed the township examination is very low, and the opportunity is only once, giving him is basically the same as a waste, and it will cause Erlang to lose the opportunity to go further, is this reasonable?

Mr. Xie didn't speak, but his face was very flat, Yu Hongsleeves was also very dissatisfied, opened her mouth and finally closed her mouth, she was a well-informed Jiangnan girl, and she knew that it was very inappropriate for her to intervene at this moment.

The old man looked at Erlang with a friendly gaze, and it seemed that Erlang must give an answer before he would give up, and even Bai Ruozhu felt that if Erlang refused, the old man would definitely faint or become ill immediately, and finally said that Erlang was selfish and unfilial.

Erlang also looked at the old man, his eyes did not dodge, he was very calm, he took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, do you remember how I practiced calligraphy when I was six years old?"

The old man was stunned, but he didn't expect Erlang to suddenly ask about this.

"I used the broken brush used by my uncle to practice calligraphy on the table with water. Erlang didn't wait for him to answer, and said to himself, "Even now, I still practice calligraphy like this, I don't know how many brushes I have written, and the paint on the desktop has worn off one place, so I will continue to write in another place, and now there is no lacquer on my desktop." ”

Bai Zepei said and looked at the eldest brother again, "Actually, I'm not the only one, the eldest brother also practiced calligraphy like this when he was a child, but his family was poor, and there was always endless work, so the eldest brother took the initiative to give up continuing to study and left the opportunity to read to me, so from then on, every time I read and practice calligraphy, I practiced for two people, otherwise I felt sorry for the eldest brother." ”

Bai Zehao's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he turned his head and secretly wiped his tears, but Lin Ping'er had already burst into tears.

"In the past, my family was poor, and many times my family secretly saved dry food in order to buy me a brush, and even for a period of time, when the farm was slack, my mother even secretly saved dinner, just to prevent me from going to the town to write letters to people to make money, for fear that I would delay my study. ”

"Some people study to learn more knowledge, and some people want to be able to soar, but I just want my family to live a better life, so that my parents, brothers, and sisters can have something to rely on. I don't know if I'll be able to pass this time, but I know that I have to learn more, I have to keep moving forward, and I can't give up my perseverance over the years for anything. ”

Bai Zepei's tone has always been very indifferent, and his expression is still cold, but there are tears in the corners of his eyes, and they all say that the man has tears and does not flick, it is just because he has not reached the sad place.

Bai Yihong covered his face and sniffed, Bai Ruozhu also cried, Yu Hongsleeve handed her a handkerchief distressedly, and his eyes turned red.

Mr. Xie accepted Bai Zepei as a student when he was thirteen years old, so he naturally knew that Bai Zepei's family was poor, and he also felt sad at the moment, and his eyes were a little astringent.

At this time, Bai Ruozhu's house suddenly sounded a loud cry, okay, the whole family in the second room cried, even the youngest and most ignorant pedaling cried! ——

Probably because I'm very involved in the play, it is written that tears have fallen, do you feel like a god?"
