Chapter 182: Digging the Foot of the Wall
Let Li Daniu and his wife wait in Fumanlou. Shopkeeper Yao ordered someone to rush to the carriage, and took Li Yuqing to walk to Hongru Academy, and when he left, he saw that there were obviously missing pastries on the table, and Shopkeeper Yao asked the guy to put a new one, Li Yuqing was very satisfied and nodded secretly.
After arriving at Hongru Academy, Shopkeeper Yao and Li Yuqing got out of the carriage and asked the guy who was driving the car to knock on the door.
Since someone led the way, Li Yuqing followed behind the shopkeeper Yao safely, just waiting to go in. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the doorman to come and open the door, the doorman opened the door and poked his head out subconsciously to look out, when he saw the shopkeeper Yao standing behind the guy. Quickly opened the door that was half-hidden before, and let the shopkeeper Yao and them in, thinking that the shopkeeper Yao was familiar with their master, and he came more often, so he also knew him, and got a hint from his master, so that he could be invited in directly if he saw him next time he didn't need to report it.
Seeing this, Li Yuqing couldn't help but secretly rejoice, this is much better than coming over by herself, and having to pay for the doorman to report, and having to wait, sure enough, someone is easy to do.
Calculating the time, I haven't seen Li Congwen for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing now, so I temporarily decided to go and see him first. Entering the Hongru Academy, Li Yuqing asked the shopkeeper Yao to go first, and she herself went to find Li Congwen under the leadership of the doorman.
I thought that when I was in the past, Li Congwen and they were in class, but I didn't expect that when she passed, she saw that there were only three or five people in the classroom, studying on their own, I don't know, because they didn't recruit many students, or because of other reasons, Li Yuqing stood at the door and shouted, only to see Li Zongwei's picture, look left and right, and then bow his head and continue to read. After screaming a few times in a row, Li Congwencai stood up in disbelief, and when he saw Li Yuqing standing at the door, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sister Yuqing, why are you here?Is there something wrong?" Li Congwen quickly stood up, walked to the door, looked at Li Yuqing and said.
"It's a little something, but it's not about you" Then he paused, looked at the few people in the classroom, and asked puzzledly, "Congwen, why are there only a few people in your classroom, is it that your master originally recruited fewer people, or?"
Li Congwen followed Li Yuqing's gaze and looked into the classroom, and when he saw that there were only three or four people besides himself, he understood what Li Yuqing meant, so he explained with a smile, "Sister Yuqing, don't get me wrong, it just so happens that I will tell you when you come, and when you go home, tell my father and mother, I won't go back this month." Do you look at the rest of the people in the classroom? The Master said that we should take this year's children's exam, so he specially left us down to review our homework."
"What, when will you take the children's exam?" Li Yuqing's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief.
Seeing Li Yuqing like this, Li Congwen lowered his head embarrassedly, and whispered, "It's the end of this month, I just knew, I didn't believe it, but the master said that my foundation is solid, and I have already passed the standard of childhood, so I plan to let me take the exam this year, if I pass the exam, I will take the Xiucai exam in June, and try the water first."
"Oh my God, Congwen, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, it's only been less than a year in the academy, and you can go to the children's exam, your master is too powerful"
Hearing Li Yuqing praise his master, Li Congwen straightened his waist and said, "Our master is amazing."
After talking to Li Congwen again, thinking that he was still waiting for his Yao shopkeeper, he asked him to quickly go into the house and continue to review his homework, and after listening to Li Yuqing's words, Li Congwen reluctantly turned around and left. didn't take two steps and was called back by Li Yuqing, Li Yuqing took out a certain amount of five taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Li Congwen.
Seeing Li Yuqing like this, Li Congwen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, my father and mother give me living expenses every month."
Seeing him like this, Li Yuqing knocked on his head and said, "What do you think this money is for you?"
"What are you doing?" asked Li Congwen puzzled
"I don't know how much money Uncle Village Chief will give you for the exam! That money is your living expenses, and it is barely enough here, so what should you do if you take the exam for the children? Don't you eat for a few days?"
Li Congwen listened to Li Yuqing's words and lowered his head, he really forgot about it, but he saw that Li Yuqing gave him money again, so he habitually wanted to refuse, how to say that he is also a man, although Li Yuqing is older than him, but how can he also be a woman, he has been embarrassed to reach out to receive money.
"Although students need money to take the exam, it's too much!" Li Congwen muttered
"Are you really stupid or are you a fake fool? Shall I give you a tael of silver, and if you are not enough, what will you do if you are not enough to call the earth and the earth unspiritual? Haven't you heard from others? It's easy to get money out of the house, and if you can't use it up, you can just pay me back. โ
After listening to Li Yuqing's words, Li Congwen thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense, so he reluctantly took it.
After talking to Li Congwen, Li Yuqing went to find the shopkeeper Yao, because Li Yuqing had already walked this road before sending Li Congwen over, so she could directly touch the place without anyone else taking it.
Here, Shopkeeper Yao and Li Congwen's master Xue Zhongxiang were talking about Li Yuqing, when they saw Li Yuqing swaggering over. Shopkeeper Yao looked incredulous, "Yuqing, we were just about to send someone to find you, how did you come here?"
Hearing what Shopkeeper Yao said, Li Yuqing was stunned, "Didn't you walk through it once last time, I remember the road, and then I walked over by myself"
"This" Shopkeeper Yao looked at Xue Zhongxiang.
Xue Zhongxiang ignored the shopkeeper Yao who looked at him, turned his head to Li Yuqing and said, "My place, the college is far away from the place where I live, and there are a few gardens in between, I didn't expect the girl to come over directly, Miss Li is really good memory, which makes Xue admire."
Listening to Xue Zhongxiang's words, Li Yuqing was a little embarrassed, she really didn't feel how difficult this place was to find. Although the garden is a bit large, as long as you remember the general terrain, you will go all the way to this side.
"Xue Fuzi is wonderful, that is, the blind cat met the dead mouse, and it just happened to happen"
"You can't say that, oh, by the way, I heard Shopkeeper Yao say that the girl is looking for a master, what do you think of me?"
Li Yuqing was stunned after listening to Xue Zhongxiang's words, not only him, but even Shopkeeper Yao was stunned, and said with an unbelievable face. "Brother Xue Mo is not joking, if you are leaving, then what should you do with this Hongru Academy?"
"Look at the shopkeeper Yao excited, I didn't say to go now, wait for a few days after the Tongsheng exam, my master will be idle, you don't know, I only teach the children below the child, in this town to study are some rich children, inevitably some young, too pampered, I have long been fed up, it just so happens that Miss Li needs someone on her side, and the people I make friends with also meet the standards I teach students, so I want to go over and try it, and besides, I am gone, isn't there another master, Zhonggui is still there, and he can support the sceneโ
"This" Xue Zhongxiang's words completely blinded the shopkeeper Yao, he hadn't seen anyone yet, he didn't run his own academy, and went to be a master for others.
At this point, Li Yuqing reacted, looked at Xue Zhongxiang with an excited face and said. "Master Xue, aren't you kidding!"
"Miss Li thinks Xue is such a boring person," Xue Zhongxiang squinted at Li Yuqing and said. (To be continued.) )
