Although Ming Xuan's previous knowledge can be regarded as solid, it is only slightly better than children of the same age, and compared with those geniuses or children in the family, there is still a gap, but fortunately, he has been allocated a lot by Li Hui during this time, otherwise he will not be able to pass the school examination of Mr. Hou at all.

"Hmm~~!" After Mr. Hou finished the school exam, he touched his beard and pondered for a while before he spoke: "Did you be ordered by my uncle before this study!"

"Yes~~!" Ming Xuan stood there respectfully and replied, "The student has been ~~~ thanks to Mr. Li's order! And Mr. also gave the student two sets of books, and the student has been reading and reciting day and night during this time!"

Mr. Hou listened to Ming Xuan's words, and showed a satisfied smile on his face, in fact, when he was taking the school exam just now, he found that this child's foundation is a little weak, it can be said that he can't be admitted to Jingshan Academy with such a foundation, but what makes him feel satisfied is the child's attitude towards his uncle, although the uncle said that he is knowledgeable, and even got the master's affirmation to be the head of their lineage, but these cannot erase the fact that she is a woman, in this society where men are inferior to women, many people will look down on women from the bottom of their bones, and this mentality is especially serious among the vast majority of scholars。

But this child didn't, just when he was asking, Mr. Hou observed very carefully, when he asked about the uncle, the child's expression was full of admiration, without the slightest contempt or disdain, and even when it came to the uncle's book, his face was full of gratitude and admiration, which shows that this child not only has a good character, but also has a much stronger view of affairs than ordinary people.

"Since Uncle Shi has dialed you, it is our fate, are you willing to study with the old man in the future?" Mr. Hou touched his beard and asked Mingxuan with a smile.

"Ah~~!" Mr. Hou didn't react to this at first, but when he reacted, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Mr. is on top, and he will be worshiped by the students~!"

"Okay~~!Okay~~~!Get up~~!" Mr. Hou smiled and beckoned to Ming Xuan to let him stand up, and then turned to Tan Zheng and said, "I intend to accept this child as a closed disciple, wait a minute, choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to worship the teacher!"

Not only was Ming Xuan surprised at this time, even Tan Zheng didn't know what to say at this time, you must know that he was just a military general, and just a garrison guarding the border, it can be said that in the eyes of those civil officials, it was nothing at all, and his expectation before this was just to let his son study in Jingshan Academy, but now he has directly become the mountain chief of Jingshan Academy, Mr. Hou, who wants to accept his son as his closed disciple, such happiness really came too suddenly!

"Ah~~!good~~!good~~~!, this is all arranged by Mr.~!" Tan Zheng was incoherent by this surprise!

"That's good~~!" Mr. Hou thought for a while and said, "Then set the time for October 12~!

"Okay~~Okay~~~!" Of course Tan Zheng will not object to this, and his son is a closed disciple of Mr. Hou, it is definitely a big deal, and he must also prepare well, but he must not make any mistakes at this time!

Tan Zheng said goodbye to Mr. Hou with a thousand thanks, and when he rode on the horse and walked towards Qingshui City, the whole person was still dizzy, and when he returned to his home in Qingshui City, he still hadn't eased up!

"Madam~~!Daxi~~!Daxi~~!" As soon as Tan Zheng returned home, he was anxious to find Tong's.

"What's wrong?" Tong put down the female red he was doing in his hand and asked, "Is it that his son can go to school in Jingshan Academy?"

"No~~!" Tan Zheng excitedly took Tong's hand, "It's not that I can go to Jingshan Academy to study, but Mr. Hou, the mountain chief of Jingshan Academy, wants to accept our son as a closed disciple!"

"What~~~?" At this moment, even the Tong family was surprised, she knew the name of this old man Hou even if she was a woman who had always been in the backyard, "Is this true? really? How could Old Mr. Hou fall in love with Ming Xuan?"

It's not that Tong doesn't look down on his son, his son is indeed studying hard, but the conditions here in Qingshui City are too poor, even if his son is working hard, but it is only better than ordinary children of the same age, and Mr. Hou has not seen any kind of student, how can he take a fancy to his son.

"It's Mrs. Li~!" Tan Zheng took a deep breath before saying, "Madam, you don't know, that Li is actually Mr. Hou's uncle! ”

"What are you talking about?~~~ That Mrs. Li is actually Mr. Hou's uncle?" Tong was also taken aback by her husband's words, although they had guessed each other's identities before, but they never thought that they would be so vigorous.

"Madam~~!, hurry up and choose some suitable gifts, let's go together and thank Mrs. Li~!" Tan Zheng urged his wife.

"This~~!" Tong said helplessly: "Mrs. Li, she is not here now~~!"

"Not here?" Tan Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked repeatedly, "Not here?"

"No~!Mrs. Li, she had already left ten days ago!"

"How could this be?" Tan Zheng didn't expect Li Hui to leave Qingshui City so quickly, but he still had to thank others, so he still asked his wife to prepare a generous gift, and the husband and wife personally sent it to the ranch.

From that day on, Tan Zheng ordered his garrison to expand the route of daily patrol a lot, and this expanded area just included the Li family's ranch. After this matter was reported to Li Shuo by the ranch manager, Li Shuo waved his hand and gave a batch of repeating bows and crossbows eliminated by the ranch cavalry team directly to Tan Zheng, although these repeating bows and crossbows were eliminated, but they did not affect the use, the garrison was equipped with repeating bows and crossbows, and the lethality was suddenly raised to a new level, which made Tan Zheng even more happy, and what made him even more unexpected was that when the tribes in the winter moon came to plunder again according to the custom, the garrison relied on the cooperation of these repeating bows and crossbows and the Li family's ranch to directly fight a big victory, and Tan Zheng was even happier at this time, of course he was for Li Hui, for the Li Ranch is also more respectful.

································

It is the middle of winter, and there are large snowflakes falling in the sky, but in the valley, because of the topography, the snow is far less than outside, and in this snowy season, soaking in the warm hot springs is definitely the best enjoyment.

Li Shuo gently pushed the tray floating on the water to Li Hui's face, the tray was placed on the ripe tomatoes, when Li Hui was in Puyang, Li Hui let people get a lot of tomato seeds to take back and plant, and in the greenhouse this tomato is uninterrupted all year round.

"I really don't want to leave~~!" Li Hui leaned against a big stone on the edge of the hot spring and said, her hand gently stirred the warm spring water, and her fair skin was steaming with a faint pink, which looked particularly attractive.

"Then we won't go back~!" Li Shuo said hoarsely as he watched this scene.

"Then how can it be done~~!" Li Hui said and picked up another tomato and took a bite, "A while ago, the eldest brother urged us to go back, and now that Sister Xing'er is pregnant again, there is no reason not to go back! You go and arrange it, and we will go back when the snow stops! If it drags on, I'm afraid that it will be the New Year, and the eldest brother won't be angry at that time!"

"Okay~~!" Li Shuo said and leaned over, and soon the two of them became entangled.

·····································

"Pillar, when will your sister come back?" Li Changsuo sat there wearing a brocade cotton coat and a fur coat over it, and asked the pillar with a flattering face.

The current Li Changsuo is completely different from the past, not only is he much fatter than in the past, but his spirit is also better than before, and the most important thing is that now he really knows what this good life is like. In the past, although he said that the life of his eldest brother's family was better than his own, he really didn't envy anything at that time, because at that time, in his eyes, his eldest brother's family was better than his own food, better clothes, and nothing else.

But now he lives every day, although it is not called brocade clothes and jade food, but the food every day is also good, he can't imagine it, the clothes he wears are all silk and satin, and there are people around him who follow him to serve him, in his opinion, he is living this life now, it is simply to heaven.

Of course, Li Changsuo also understands in his heart what is the reason why he can live such a life, and now he no longer dares to move the pillar in the idea of coming back, but he is afraid that if he is making such a fuss, Li Hui and the pillar will be unhappy, and the two of them will send themselves back to Lijia Village, so what can they do!

"I said that I will definitely come back before the New Year!" Zhu Zi put down the account book in his hand, pinched his eyebrows and said, I don't know if it is because of so many years of leaving, his feelings for his biological father have become more and more indifferent, and now the relationship between the two is only 'second uncle' and 'nephew'.

"You said that Hui Niang, this girl, has become a relative, this temper is still the same as in the past, there is no restraint, this time she comes back, you must talk about her well, if her husband is unhappy, what will she do in the future!" Li Changsuo sat there and said bitterly to the pillar.

In Li Changsuo's opinion, Li Shuo is not only good-looking, but also very rich, he has also inquired, this Li Shuo is the major shareholder of the hottest Hongli Commercial Bank at the moment, and although Hui Niang's girl is not bad looking, but she is not young at this age, and she was plundered by someone in her early years, this matter is also a stain, it can be said that anyone who pays attention to it will not be willing to marry such a woman and go home, but Li Shuo not only does not dislike his niece's old age, but it is already very difficult to make that kind of thing in the early years, so the niece is like thisIf she continues, if people don't want her, how embarrassing it will be!

What's more important is that Li Changsuo knows very well in his heart the pillar's feelings for Li Hui, he feels that if Li Hui is really driven back one day, he will definitely raise Hui Niang's girl without saying a word, regardless of whether this thing is a shame or not, whether it will be laughed at, so he can't let such a thing happen.

Li Changsuo's 'serious speech' made Zhuzi's brows furrow, seeing Zhuzi's reaction, Li Changsuo's heart was secretly happy, he felt that Zhuzi must have listened to what he just said, and he felt that Zhuzi's heart really did not forget that he was his father.

"Hmph~~!" Zhu snorted coldly and said, "He dare~~!Even if he lent him ten guts, he wouldn't dare, and he wouldn't see if he hadn't been begging to stick to my sister for nothing, would my sister be able to marry him?"

Li Changsuo didn't know what to say when the pillar said this, he was also an uncle in what he said, and some words were really hard to say, and he was thinking about the unceremonious words that Hui Niang said to himself that time, and he felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and even felt that the pillar would be like this, all of them were bewitched by Hui Niang, otherwise the pillar might have returned to his side at this time, and he was still his eldest son!

Li Changsuo's heart doesn't care about what he thinks now, what he is thinking about now is that when his sister comes back, he must say it to her, how can she not come back for such a long time outside, does she regard this place as her home?

Li Hui finally returned to Minghu City on the tenth day of the lunar month, and she came back this time with more than a dozen cars of gifts, it can be said that everyone in the family has prepared a lot of gifts.

"Thank you, aunt~~!" Xiaocai looked at the various gifts piled up on the table, and her happy mouth couldn't close all the time.

"Hui Niang, you are really too used to her~~!" Xing'er watched Li Hui bring back so many gifts to her daughter, and while she was happy, she was worried that her daughter would be spoiled.
