Chapter 106
On the second day, Zhu Guida also came to ask about the exam, and Cheng Wenhan replied modestly in front of him, and replied that he was sure, and it only depended on how the gentleman in the academy broke off.
Zhu Guida praised him, and said: "The old lady also asked you about the exam before, although you moved out, she also remembered you in her heart." I see that after the exam today, there is no need to rush to read again, and I just go home to talk to the old lady so that she can rest assured. ”
Regarding the matter of returning to the Zhu family to be filial to Mrs. Zhu, the Li family will not refuse. And Hongzhu saw that Zhu Guida was very dedicated to Cheng Wenhan's schooling, and personally led them to ask for a recommendation before, but this time he came eagerly to ask, so it was not easy to refuse for Cheng Wenhan.
It happened that Cheng Wenhan was fine today, so he responded with a smile and followed Zhu Guida back.
At noon, Cheng Wenhan stayed at Zhu's house, and when the three of them had dinner together in the evening, Li saw that Cheng Wenhan went to Zhu's house and came back with a burden, so he asked him how he was at Zhu's house.
Cheng Wenhan said: "Grandma asked me a few words, she looked concerned, and told me not to be naughty when I went up the mountain in the future." Later, he also packed a few clothes for me, and when I saw that they were all good, I accepted them. ”
Hongzhu opened the burden and looked at it, and saw that although it was not a brand new clothes, it was also seven or eight percent new, and looking at the material, he guessed that it was Zhu Boxiu in the old year. Zhu Boxiu stays in the academy all the year round, and some clothes are not too big to wear when they are ready, and the clothes will be small after a while, so they will stay, and now they are given to Cheng Wenhan, and it is appropriate to change them slightly.
Li Shi read it, took it in his hand and modified it, and said: "Although the old lady doesn't recognize it, she sometimes attacks you, but in the end, you are also her children and grandchildren, and she is only happy to see that you have the ability." ”
As soon as he said this, Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan looked at each other, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, but they didn't open their mouths to refute. Mrs. Zhu's temperament, they all know, one is eccentric, the other is lonely, she will not really hurt you, but from time to time she has to beat and scold, everything has to follow her anger, so how can people endure it, and recognize her as a good person.
Cheng Wenhan said casually: "The eldest aunt doesn't speak very well there." She was more attentive to our meeting with Mr. Jiang that day, and asked me carefully two or three times, I guess that the eldest uncle came back to her and mentioned to her what Mr. Jiang said about the lobby brother, which made the eldest aunt happy in her heart, and some suspicion that the eldest uncle had heard it wrong, or deliberately coaxed her, she was worried, so she pulled me and asked me carefully. On the contrary, it was about my exam, she only said one sentence......" Cheng Wenhan coughed twice, deliberately learning to put on a face, "Since Bo Xiu asked Wen Han for a recommendation, he never failed the exam, if he still fails the exam, he will lose face greatly!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.
Li and Hongzhu also knew it, and Li just smiled on his face and didn't answer it.
Hongzhu muttered secretly, but said: "I know that Brother Bo Xiu has great ability and is a character who can soar to the sky, but he doesn't have to be inferior to others." If the eldest aunt is proud for a while, and spreads the words in her heart, I don't know how much gossip will be caused when I turn around. ”
Cheng Wenhan also said: "This year is the year of the township test, I saw that Bo Xiu injured his leg before, and I was somewhat rested. ”
Li Shi was surprised: "He took a break for a while, I'm afraid his homework has also fallen behind, and the county exam is not a few days away, can he catch up?"
Hongzhu said: "Only the county test to catch some, he is Mr. Jiang's high-footed, the county test is naturally not hindered, the left and right first test this, and there will be a few months to work harder, but it is okay." ”
The Li family was kind-hearted, no matter what happened to the Jiang family, he was also willing to fix it for Uncle Zhu, so he said: "It's good if it's safe and smooth." ”
Hongzhu remembered that Ming'er Cheng Wenhan was going to Liu's house, and for a moment he wanted him to pack his luggage for the trip, only saying that he would learn some things, and he had prepared things for him to go up the mountain earlier, and he picked a few things that he had to use in the past few days and brought them with him.
Li Shi looked at it with a smile, and while he was busy changing his clothes, he told him a few more words, so that he didn't just want to have fun, and the others forgot about it, or they were injured or sick, and they were still delayed when they turned around, and they couldn't go to the academy in time. He also said that seeing that Second Uncle Li and Zhong's interest were generally there, and that it was not very stable to come to Li Nanxing for the exam, he asked him to be careful when he went out to play, don't make anything in front of Li Nanxing, and the two should help each other.
Cheng Wenhan naturally agreed one by one.
On the morning of the second day, Uncle Liu took Liu Zheng to the restaurant to invite people. When they arrived, Zhong suddenly said that Li Nanxing couldn't go.
I didn't say this before, and Li Shi was a little worried for a while, and asked what was going on.
Zhong said apologetically: "I went up the mountain to take the test before, and when I came back, he was wilted, I just thought he was tired, and I didn't ask him to move more yesterday, so I boiled soup and let him rest at home to recuperate." Who knew that when I asked him today, he was still not happy, he was lazy, and he was only afraid of getting sick...... I think he can't go on this trip. He apologized for him.
When Uncle Liu heard this, he didn't have anything to say, but said: "In the end, the body is important, and the child should be raised, there will be more things to play in the future, and it will be the same next time he comes." ”
Seeing that Li Nanxing didn't go, Li couldn't help but pull Cheng Wenhan's hand and said something carefully, looking hesitant and seemed to want to open his mouth to let him go. Seeing this, Hongzhu reached out and pressed her, shook her head slightly and didn't let her speak.
Uncle Liu also understood the heart of a mother, and solemnly agreed to take care of him, so he took Cheng Wenhan and Liu Zheng away.
As soon as the people left, Hongzhu came back and persuaded Li, "Mother, my younger brother will go up the mountain in a few days, and in the future, the things that will be done with classmates and friends will have to rely on him, and he is not small, I don't think there is a need to talk to him like this." If you open your mouth just now, Uncle Liu will not be able to come to the door again in the future. ”
Li Shi said gloomily: "I also know this truth, but I just can't bear it." ”
Hongzhu smiled and comforted her again, and then pulled her to work in the back kitchen of the restaurant.
Cheng Wenhan went, and the Li family was often a little inconvenient in doing things, even Hongzhu couldn't help but glance at her side every night, and felt that there was no one to eat, and she felt uncomfortable. In the cold wind at night, the two of them talked about whether Cheng Wenhan was cold in Yishan County, whether he would be freezing, and they were both stunned as they spoke, and then couldn't help laughing.
Hongzhu secretly thought that at her mental age, she also raised Cheng Wenhan as a son like the Li family.
On the third day after Cheng Wenhan left, Zhu Guida called the guy from the grocery store to look for Li's red beads in the restaurant, only saying that Zhu Boxiu sent a letter from the academy, saying that the list of candidates for the entrance examination had been obtained in the past two days, and the Cheng family was asked to prepare it here.
In the evening, Zhu Guida also came in person, and elaborated on the words in Zhu Boxiu's letter, "Boxiu said that he went to Mr. Jiang that day and listened to Mr. Jiang say a word or two, and Wen Han had taken it." He said in his letter that all the houses in the academy have been prepared, but in the end, they are all good, you have already brought your luggage, and he has to find someone to arrange a good one, and the province will be busy and chaotic, and it will not be good to live in the next few years. ”
Just as he was speaking of this, Cheng Wenhan came in.
