Old Mrs. Li hurriedly shook her head: "This is not fake! After the start of the New Year, there was an official boy who didn't believe Mr.'s words, and had to bully a child in the same class, and later if it wasn't for the adults at home who interceded, he was almost expelled. However, although he stayed, he did not suffer less, and now he has become very sensible. ”

The old lady next door really looked so mocking, which made Mrs. Li very uncomfortable, and she was anxious to defend the gentlemen of the Wang family: "I also know something about this, it's really not that the Wang Family School let it go because the child is from the official family, but also because the bullied child helped to intercede, saying that he forgave others." In this way, the husband of the Wang family did not spare the children of the official family lightly. When the farm was busy, the children of the official family were asked to go to the bullied child's house to do farm work for a month, and a gentleman followed behind to supervise. When school started again, the children of the official family came back to school, and they were as dry as charcoal, and they were much more well-behaved. Even his uncle, who came to accompany the child to study, said that the child was sensible all of a sudden, and said that this Mr. Wang family would teach the child! ”

The old lady next door didn't look at Mrs. Li with a look of disdain, but her words didn't ease: "Cut!" I just can't see their family like this, they have to teach and educate people on the one hand, and they have to pretend on the other. Whether it's the children of official families or the children of ordinary people, aren't they all grown up by you bullying me and me bullying you! ”

At this time, Mrs. Li finally found that she and this old sister had no common words, and she wanted to say, "Whose child wants to be bullied?" He didn't say anything more, but changed it: "Oops! It was getting colder and colder, and I had to pack a few thick clothes to bring over, and I almost forgot about it. I'll go back and get busy, you sit again! And he hurried away. Even if she can't chat happily, she really doesn't want to spend time with others, besides, she is not idle now.

Mrs. Li did not enter the door of her main courtyard very happily, and was seen by the maidservant who came out to look for her. Seeing her unhappy look, she asked with concern, "What did the old lady encounter unhappy?" Grandma is looking for you to come back for dinner! ”

The old lady waved her hand, not wanting to say more, but asked, "Your uncle has cleaned up?" ”

"Back to the old lady's words. Grandma helped clean up! Uncle is waiting to eat and go with you! ”

After eating, the old lady found a few thick clothes for her grandson, and a few thick clothes for herself and the old man, before taking her eldest son back to Liujiazhuang.

When the eldest prince of the Li family arrived here, he did not have the opportunity to meet the senior official of the Wang family immediately, and this senior official also had to visit relatives and classmates. It is impossible to stay at home every day to receive guests. He didn't wait blindly in Liujiazhuang, but in the name of his son, he chatted with a few gentlemen in the school. Some of these gentlemen are talented, some are lifters, and some are from overseas to teach miscellaneous studies, Li Dagongzi did not despise them, and after chatting with others, he knew that he knew enough book knowledge, but there was too little social practice. The academy examination and the township examination were originally based on book knowledge, and he could pass lightly according to his level, but the general examination was basically to select practical talents for the imperial court, and then he simply talked about book knowledge. If the writing is really good, it is difficult to say that there will be a chance to meet an examiner who focuses more on writing. If you meet these examiners who are all pragmatic, you can only fall into the fate.

Since Mr. Li already knew what his problem was in advance, when he finally met Xiaolong, he took out the answer sheets of several exams he participated in and asked Xiaolong to analyze and analyze them. He himself had some understanding before, and then with Xiaolong's help to talk about some of the things in the article, he really had the feeling that listening to your words was better than reading a book for ten years. This is not a compliment and polite cliché, after all, Xiaolong has been doing practical things in officialdom for eight years, plus six years and fourteen years of work experience in his own family, so that he can point out the shortcomings in the article of the eldest son of the Li family. His writing is good, but the source of the content is all from books. There is no evidence of his own, nor is there any practical facts to back it up. See the certificate with the things in the book, and bear witness to his own opinion with the things in the book, and you can't see where the author himself is in all the articles. This is a common problem of reading dead books, and it is also the problem of all candidates who repeatedly fail the scientific examination. Even if it is an examiner who pays attention to literary style. Seeing such an answer sheet will not give a pass.

The more Xiaolong said it, the happier Li Dagongzi became, although he could recognize some problems, but it was not thorough enough, and it was only superficial. And it's easy to recognize problems, but it's hard to change yourself. The more Xiaolong talked. The more he knew where to start to change himself. Xiaolong said while observing this big boy without a trace, and found that he was really asking for advice on the problem that he would fail to try, and his heart gradually became fond of him. When it comes to eating, it's natural to invite them to stay and eat together.

Although the Li family is a big family in Fucheng, none of the current living generations of their family has a direct family member in a high position, and there is not even an official position above the fifth rank. Their branch is even more bleak, and now they don't even have a jinshi. And the Wang family, excluding the orphans they raised in the town, there are so many people who are officials in the capital or in the local area, and the Wang family alone has one military attaché, four civil officials, or one under the same grandfather, which is a miracle that has never been seen in the entire Damin Dynasty since the founding of the dynasty. Being able to be treated so kindly by Lord Wang today, although the Li family and the two grandfathers did not have the humble posture of being as flattered as ordinary people, they were also surprised and almost lost their temper.

can drink and eat at the same table, even if it is a real hook-up, it is no wonder that the Li family father and son are excited. At the banquet table, Mr. Li said that he would go to the capital to take the exam, but his father-in-law had to live in his house because of his kindness, and he wanted to go to the champion community to live and communicate with his fellow villagers.

His matter is too simple on the Wang family's side, Dahong and Xiangzi will leave a few suites every year for the children in the town to use when they are rushing to take the exam, and occasionally add three or four people to go in and share the house. Immediately, Xiaohu said that he would help him write a letter to his brother over there and leave him a room to live in. And he went over in advance, and there were several people from the Hanlin Academy who went over there to give lectures to the candidates, which was a rare opportunity.

Originally, only Zhang Haoyu and Zhao Qingchun went to the future community to give lectures, but after the first scientific examination, the two of them suddenly had a number of nominal students. This made the rest of the Hanlin Academy see some good tricks to recruit talents and accumulate popularity for themselves. So they all discussed with Dahong and Xiangzi, and they also came over to give lectures and exchanges to the candidates. Dahong and Xiangzi are indispensable, anyway, they don't want to be restrained, just add a bowl and chopsticks. But it is a good thing to give the candidates who live here a few more gentlemen who help them solve their doubts.

This kind of thing was still spread by some people in the past, but later, perhaps out of selfishness or some other reason, the candidates kept silent among themselves. This is the first time he has heard that in the community where a lot of people live, it turned out that there were officials from the Hanlin Academy who came to give lectures. No wonder I got better than I did every time, and I thought it was the feng shui inside! The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, how many opportunities he had missed. If you had made up your mind to book a house in that neighborhood earlier, even if you couldn't pass the exam, it wouldn't be far away, right?

He couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Wang!" I'll want to go over next month, can I do it? ”

Xiaohu nodded, looked at Xiaolong, and saw that he didn't react, so he said, "Yes, yes!" However, the New Year is coming in more than a month, so why don't you leave after the New Year at home? ”

Xiaolong is about to leave for the capital to take up his post after the New Year, he wants to say that you can go with my brother, but Xiaolong did not take the initiative to say this, although he is an elder brother, it is not good to be the master for his younger brother.

Old Man Li also followed and said to his son: "Your eldest brother Wang is right, you will leave after the New Year, and you are not in a hurry for this month or two." ”

When Mr. Li saw that his father, who had always valued his scientific research, also said this, he respectfully said: "Okay, Dad!" I'm going to pass the New Year. ”

Xiaolong said at this time: "I also returned to the capital after the New Year, if I don't feel embarrassed at that time, I can go together." ”

Prince Li was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Don't be embarrassed! Don't be embarrassed! Then trouble Lord Wang! ”

The old man also stood up to toast Xiaolong with a glass of wine, and Xiaolong hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "Old man, sit down, don't be like this!" By the way, I really don't deserve to be so polite as you are. ”

Xiaohu also persuaded on the side: "Don't look at this red wine, the old man has a lot of stamina, my brother will drink more." You always sit down, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables! ”

The people of the big family know that everything is meaningful, and there is no need to climb too much. When they heard the two brothers' excuses, they sat down with a smile.

The New Year is approaching, and there are fewer and fewer people visiting the door, so they finally have a relaxed time to be busy with the New Year. The things that need to be done at home have not been disrupted by the return of Xiaolong's family, and they still beat rice cakes, tofu, dried seeds, ducks, goose salted goods, and chicken to make sauce chicken, and kill pigs on the roots of the year according to the customs of previous years. Buy couplets, buy artillery battles, buy new fireworks of all kinds of flowers, and give the three of Ah Jing's mother and son, who have never spent the New Year in the farmhouse, like a little madman, and the east family runs to the west house, and the west family runs to the east house to watch the excitement. People kill ducks to see, hit rice cakes to see, look at it because they eat rice cakes and hurt food, Er Ya is busy making hawthorn fruit and hawthorn slices for them to eat, grinding things in the water mill They want to see, the tofu workshop next to the water mill, the tofu making has almost become the children's home in the past few days, and whoever beats tofu has to give them a bowl of tofu to eat. Fortunately, the tofu is so bloating, they can't eat much every day, and it won't hurt the food. (To be continued.) )
