Congratulations on getting a monthly pass

Qin Minye had schoolwork in the academy and came and went in a hurry, but this time he just recognized the door of the Li family.

Because Qin Yue put the two small tigers that were slightly larger than sheep into an iron cage and gave them to Li Jingjing, the Li family brought them back to the village.

As soon as the king of the two mountains and forests appeared, it attracted everyone in the village to watch.

A few days later, on a rainy night, the door of the iron cage opened, and the two tiger cubs escaped and disappeared.

In order to help Li Jingjing find the two little tigers, the people of Qujia Village all the dogs at home went out, and they couldn't find them in the mountains for three days, so they had to give up.

The new patriarch Qu Shun held a clan meeting to talk about the autumn harvest, and said cautiously: "The two little tigers have run away, and they will grow into big tigers in a few days." The families kept their livestock in locks up and went out together at night. ”

At the end of July, the old patriarch's family held a big wedding, and Qu Dinglin married Jiang Rong, the niece of the former county commander Jiang Ye Gang.

The children of the Qu clan finally married the daughter of the official eunuch family, which is also a very decent event in Liuyang County.

On this day, the men, women and children of the Qu clan all came to congratulate him, and several of Qu Dinglin's students and friends in the academy also came.

Li Quzhi rushed back the night before, this time he was dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a hosta, his temperament had changed a lot, and he entered the banquet as a classmate and relative, and the people of the Qu clan couldn't recognize it, not to mention that the villagers in other villages thought that he was the noble son of the woman's relatives.

In addition to the He family and Li Jingjing, the Li family, Qu family, Li Laoshi, Li Yunqing, and Li Yunxiao all came to eat and drink.

Several students in the academy recognized Li Quai, chatted with him after dinner, and went to Li's house to sit down, and saw Li Jingjing, who was busy shuttling between the pharmacy and the kitchen.

"Pharmacist Li, last time the fragrant fruit will be thanks to the medicine you made."

"Pharmacist Li, it turns out that your home is in Qujia Village."

Li Jingjing grimaced at the students and stuck out her tongue, and after entering, she closed the door of the medicine room tightly, no matter how they shouted, she would never close the door and come out.

Li Yunxiao ran over, blocked the door, and shouted, "She is my sister." You are not allowed to take her. ”

"We just want to thank Pharmacist Li, and we don't have the slightest intention of taking her away." The students were misunderstood, and left the Li family crying and laughing.

Li Quzhi chased after him, arched his hands, and said sincerely: "My niece is too young. Please keep my family confidential and don't tell my home address. ”

"Go to the sick brother, you just told us honestly the address of your home, you can trust us."

"Pharmacist Li saved Dr. Hong's life and saved so many people in the college, including us

in. We will never do anything unfavorable to Pharmacist Li. ”

Several students nodded their heads and promised not to say anything about it.

Not long after Li Qu was sick and returned home to read a book, Qu's red face came back.

Just now, many people toasted Qu's family, saying that she was so blessed, her son was a scholar who was admitted to Tanzhou College, and her granddaughter was a pharmacist who could make life-saving medicine.

Later, Qu Kuaishou and his wife invited her to Qu's house to speak, and begged her if she could ask He's sister to help get Qu Changchang and Qu Duo into Tanzhou Academy to study.

Seeing that his second son was studying without a lunch break, Qu was more diligent than before he entered the academy, he was both relieved and distressed, and pulled him to the bedroom and said what Qu Kuaishou and his wife wanted, and said: "I think that you have been studying in the academy for almost a month, and you should know more about the situation in the academy, and I want to hear your ideas." ”

Li Quzhi closed the door and said slowly: "Mother, the students who come in through the relationship in the academy are either rich or expensive, they often spend money to give gifts to doctors and teachers, and they have to buy some items for students at the same level to have a good relationship. ”

Qu often chatted with Tian's family, and knew that Qu Dingshan and Qu Dinglin's expenses in the academy were nearly fifty taels a year, and this was still an ordinary student who was admitted with real skills, and if he entered a rich family by virtue of his relationship, the cost of a student who entered a rich family would have to be more than ten times more.

This silver coin composer will never be able to come up with it.

A small part of the Li family's existing silver tickets is Li Bing's hard-earned money, and most of them are made by Li Jingjing selling medicine.

Li Jingjing never said anything about sending money to the Qu family.

He Huishu came to Li's house for the first time and gave the He family a few thousand taels of silver tickets, but this time she didn't give it.

When He left Tanzhou Mansion, he used the silver ticket given by He Huishu to buy a shop and a house, and gave it to Qin Minye as a meeting gift, and tactfully returned the silver money, which was also for He Huishu's long face.

He's concept has always been to save the emergency rather than the poor, even if the relatives are close to each other.

Qu recalled all kinds of things, and promised last year that if Qu Changchang and Qu Duo were promoted in the examination, the Li family would go to Beijing to catch the exam, about 200 taels of silver, and if you add the expenses of Tanzhou Academy, it would be 1,000 taels of silver.

If the Li family doesn't pay for Tanzhou Academy, this money can kill my brother and sister-in-law.

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Go on." ”

Li Quzhi said in a low voice: "Mother, my cousin and my nephew's strategy for participating in the county examination last year, I have seen it, I have always remembered it, not long ago I compared their strategy with the strategy of the last student admitted to the hospital in the same period, there is indeed a gap. ”

Qu's face was deeply disappointed, and he still desperately hoped that his mother's family could produce a person to glorify his ancestors, and said: "The academy in the county is not as good as Tanzhou Academy, if they go to Tanzhou Academy to study for more than a year, their knowledge should have progress, and they will have a greater grasp of participating in the government examination in the spring of the next year." ”

Li Quzhi suddenly changed the topic and said, "Mother, there is something I didn't dare to say in my letter. I promised the brother-in-law of the Qin family that I couldn't let my sister-in-law know. I'll tell you today, don't tell your sister-in-law. ”

Qu nodded.

Li Quzhi bowed his head and told the four children of the Chang'an Guogong Mansion before and after insulting the Li family in the other courtyard.

Qu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and later heard how badly Qin Yue beat the four of them, and his anger disappeared, but he deeply felt that his family had no power and power, which made the pearl of the He family dusty.

"Mother, I studied hard, I took the Xiucai exam the year after that, and five years later I took the Juren and Jinshi exams to fight for some face for the family." Li Quzhi held Qu's trembling hands.

Qu Shi burst into tears, and decided that he would not go to the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion in the future, and said: "Go to illness, you don't study too hard, you are tired." ”

Li Quzhi persuaded: "Mother, don't ask your sister-in-law to ask for your cousin and nephew to enter the academy." ”

Qu wiped his tears and nodded, "You have been in the academy for less than a month, and you have grown a lot. What you said makes sense, it's just about the future of your cousin and many nephews, let my mother think about it again. ”

Li Quzhi had to say: "Mother, if I say something ugly, don't be angry." The imperial court takes a scientific examination every three years, have you ever thought about what if they enter Tanzhou Academy with the relationship of the Qin family and fail the exam the year after tomorrow, should you let your sister-in-law go to the Qin family and let them continue to study for three years? ”

Qu Shi wondered, "What's going on?" ”

Li Quzhi told Qu the rules of the hospital.

It turns out that the rules of Tanzhou Academy are that children over the age of six can enter the academy to study, and when they become adults, they will only be given one chance, and they will continue to study for three years after passing the examination, and they will leave the college if they fail the examination.

Qu Chang is Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today, and Qu Duo is also nineteen years old, both of whom are adults. If you enter Tanzhou Academy, you will not be able to pass the exam in the next year, and if you continue to study, you still have to come forward from the Qin Mansion.

Qu Shi only sighed, shook his head and said: "There is only more than a year from now to the year after next, if they fail the exam, they have to ask the Qin Mansion." Our Li family begged again and again for the sake of their relatives, but it was really like the lowly scolded by the four people. Forget it, I'm going to turn down your uncle. ”

Li Quzhi finally persuaded Qu's family, felt a sense of accomplishment, got up and said, "Mother, I'll go with you." ”

The mother and son arrived at Qu's house and told the matter straight to the point. The whole Qu family was extremely disappointed.

Li Quzhi said that the expenses of students admitted to the hospital through relationships are at least a few hundred taels of silver per person, and said that the hospital rules that adult students only have one chance to take a scientific examination.

Deng struggled inwardly.

Qu Kuaishou was decisive, and asked his children and grandchildren loudly on the spot: "If you are sure that you will be promoted in the next year's examination, your mother and I will sell all the family property for you to study in the academy for a year and a half." ”

He made the decision to break the kettle, but Qu Changjiu and Qu Duozhi didn't dare to pat their chests to ensure that they would be able to pass the exam the year after entering Tanzhou Academy.

This is the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, five days later, the second granddaughter-in-law of the old patriarch's family, Liu, returned to Qujia Village and brought great news, the Liu family fulfilled the promise and won two places for the Qu family to be students of Tanzhou Academy.

The Qu clan held a clan meeting and decided to give the Li family one place and another place in order to repay the kindness of the Li family, and the clan organized an exam, and the examination papers were personally selected by the Liu family's grandfather.

"Sister Zhu, your young girl is twelve years old, literate and reasonable, still underage, and has a bright future to study at Tanzhou Academy. Your Xiao Lingzi will be six years old next year, if Qing Lingzi doesn't go, it's good for Xiao Lingzi to go. The patriarch Qu Shun invited the Qu family to the house, told her about it, and asked her to give a reply within ten days.

"There are two places in the clan, and one was given to our family. Thank you so much. Qu Shi thanked him with emotion, returned home, and immediately called Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing back from the temple to discuss.

Li Yunqing said: "Grandma, let my father go to Tanzhou Academy to study, and come back after the next year, let my mother be Mrs. Xiucai." ”

Li Laoshi glanced at He's family, saw her shake her head slightly, and said: "I only know some words, I can't make a fuss, and I will be laughed at when I go to the academy to study." ”

Qu Shi was very remorseful in his heart, and said: "Back then, your uncle asked me to send you to the school, but your father insisted on letting you go to Guanli to be a handyman. Your father and I can't stand you, and I can't live with Yi Niang. ”

Li Laoshi's talent for reading is no worse than Li Quai's. But Li Bing just didn't let him go to school, and when he was ten years old, he directly asked him to go to Guanli as a handyman to endure hardships. Later, he learned to read and write from He.

If Li Laoshi goes to school, he will be able to be admitted to Xiucai last year, and if he fails to pass the exam the year after tomorrow, he will always be able to pass the exam in five years, which is much better than doing work in the view, and He can also be a wife, not too much different than He Huishu's identity.

"Mother, dad has his own reasons for arranging this. Daddy will come back on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will tell you in person when the time comes. He wanted to tell Qu the truth many times, but when he thought of Li Bing's instructions, he couldn't help it.

Qu shook his head and said, "What can your father say to me every time he comes back and only stays for a few days and leaves." ”

In the past, she stayed in Qujia Village, and her family's living conditions were superior in the village, and her status was not low, and she was respected.

Now that she has seen the wealth of the Guogong Mansion, she feels that her family is really poor and has a humble status.

She is old, it doesn't matter if she lives like this in the future, but her children and grandchildren are still young, will she live like this for the rest of her life?

He felt pity in his heart and said softly: "Mother, you have to believe in Dad." ”

Li honestly said: "Mother, the quota is given to Qing Yanzi, and Qing Yanzi will go to the academy." ”

"Qing Yanzi went to school, we specially wrote to ask my father, and my father's reply was to let him work in the view." He raised his voice, "Dad is the head of the family, and you don't listen to Daddy?" ”

Qu and Li Laoshi were silent.

Li Yunqing drooped his head and asked, "Mother, then do you let Xiao Yanzi go to Tanzhou Academy?" ”

He said: "Your grandfather is back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask Xiao Lingzi to ask him if he will be allowed to study at Tanzhou Academy." If your grandfather agrees, I will let Xiao Yanzi be admitted to the academy by himself with his ability, and he does not need to occupy the Qu clan. ”

Qu asked suspiciously: "Sister Yi, then who do you say this quota is for?" ”

He said: "Mother, the quota is given to my uncle's family, and my uncle decides whether it is for my cousin or my nephew." My cousin has been studying with my nephew for so many years, and I need this place to go to Tanzhou Academy more than our family. ”

Li honestly nodded and said, "Mother, Sister Yi is right." ”

Li Yunqing said softly: "Grandma, I listen to my mother's words. ”

Qu Shi burst into tears and said movingly: "You gave up this place for me, right?" I'm glad I don't want you to miss such a great opportunity to read. ”

Li Yunqing stepped forward and wiped Qu's tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Grandma, I will definitely be able to be a steward in Guanli in the future, and I manage a lot of people every year, and everyone listens to me." I don't study, I can manage people as well as an official. ”

Qu hugged Li Yunqing and cried: "My young man, you are smart, sensible and diligent. When your grandfather comes back this time, I want to ask him face to face, why he has not allowed your father to go to the school with you, and he has to ask you to go to the temple to endure hardships and earn money. ”

When Li Jingjing entered the hall, she saw that Qu and He were wiping their tears, Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing's faces were solemn, and they were so frightened that something big had happened.

Qu wiped away his tears and said, "Changsheng, Sister Yi, I'll go to your uncle's house." You sit and talk. ”

He took Li Jingjing in his arms and told him what had just happened.

Li Jingjing's small mouth was close to He's ear, and she whispered: "Mother, is grandpa coming back this time to be a big official, and our family will be as rich as my aunt's family?" ”

He glared and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

Li Jingjing blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "You and your aunt." ”

He hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to go outside to talk about it." ”

Li Jingjing asked, "How big an official can grandpa be?" ”

He covered Li Jingjing's small mouth and said angrily: "Don't say it again." ”

Li Jingjing saw that He's eyes were smiling and not crying, so she nodded and didn't ask.

After a while, Xiao Deng came happily, saying that Qu Kuaishou and his wife invited the Li family to Qu's family for dinner in the evening.

After Lin was imprisoned, Xiao Deng took his son back to Qu's family.

Little Deng's son is almost a year old. She has a good relationship with Qu Duo, and she found out that she was pregnant again two months ago.

Because Xiao Deng is pregnant with the second child, he is not as cautious as the first child, helping Deng do some small work, passing on a message or something, and he can still exercise when he is tired.

The Li family went to Qu's house, and Qu Kuaishou and his wife greeted him with a smile on their faces, so grateful.

It has only been a few days since the Li family refused to help the Qu family last time, and they gave up a place in their own house to the Qu family.

Qu whispered: "Your cousin is thirty-seven years old, and your nephew is young, so there will be opportunities in the future." Your uncle gave your cousin a spot. ”

He Shi looked at Xiao Deng's excited red face, and asked, "The nephew doesn't know the Tao yet, right?" ”

Qu said: "Your uncle said that he would tell her after the clan exam in a few days." ”

He asked, "What about the cost of going to Tanzhou Academy to study?" ”

Qu Shi said in a low voice: "Your uncle decided to sell the family's fruit hills, dry fields and some fertile fields, and scrape together three hundred taels of silver for your cousin, so that he can save some flowers and use them until the spring of the following year. ”

He thought of the last time Qu Kuaishou asked, Qu Changchang was so unconfident, and he was not very optimistic about the outcome of this matter, but he didn't say anything.

In the evening, Qu Kuaishou drank too much wine, and when he was happy, he actually said it at this time.

Xiao Deng was bringing a pot of broth from the kitchen into the hall, and when he heard this, he was dumbfounded, and the porcelain basin fell to the ground with his hand loosened, and the broth splashed all over.

Qu Kuai's palms chuckled, feeling that it was unlucky for the basin to be broken, and shouted unhappily: "Your father-in-law is my son, and your husband is my grandson." I only have one place, and I gave it to your father-in-law, and you have an opinion? ”

The Lin family was locked up, and the Qu family stepped on the bench when there was any trouble, lying in front of the iron window and listening and watching, I have been listening to it for a long time.

Xiao Deng didn't know where he got the courage, and said: "Grandpa, my husband was higher than my father in the county exam last year. If this quota for studying in Tanzhou Academy is given to my husband, I will have a greater certainty of lifting people in the examination. ”

Qu Kuaishou said loudly: "I have thought of everything you said. But I have a son, who will be thirty-nine years old the year after that, and he can't wait. ”

Xiao Deng couldn't help crying: "Grandpa, the teachers of the county academy all say that my husband is better at reading than my father. ”

Lin screamed: "You shameless little prostitute, you want to be a lady and want to go crazy." I didn't even do it, why should you! I'm going to divorce you, a little who disrespects your in-laws! ”

As soon as Xiao Deng heard Lin's voice, he trembled with fright, and Deng was afraid that she would have a miscarriage, so he hurriedly helped her back to the room and persuaded her with kind words.

After Qu Kuaishou waited for the Li family to leave, he heard Deng say that Xiao Deng was still crying, and said angrily: "Why is there no one as sensible as Sister Yi." ”

When the Lin family, who finally stopped, heard this, he stood in front of the iron window and screamed: "He Huiyi is a fox spirit, it is not enough to be fascinated by her own brother-in-law, but also to be fascinated by our Qu family men, big and small." God quickly hit the thunder and hacked to death He Huiyi, the vixen who seduced men everywhere! ”

Qu Kuaishou was furious, and asked for the key to open the iron door with the equally angry Deng, and stepped forward and kicked Lin in the back.

Lin's head hit the iron window and fainted.

Deng was so frightened that he ran over to look at Lin, but fortunately, it was just a layer of skin on his forehead and he didn't die.

Qu Kuaishou said: "Good people don't live long, bad people live for 10,000 years." Looking back, we are old and dead, and she can't die. ”

It's a shame that when the He family was there just now, the Lin family didn't say this dirty word, otherwise how would the Qu family face the Li family.

He thought that he couldn't care about selling the field the next day, so he first went to Li Jingjing to ask for some dumb medicine, mixed it in Lin's breakfast, and watched Lin eat it.

Since then, Lin has been speechless, and can only make a sound.

A few days later, the three Xiucai of the Qu clan and the father and son of Qu Changchang went to the Deng Mansion of Tanzhou Academy, and the Deng grandfather took the exam, and the results came out on the same day.

Xiucai, who ranked the highest among the five people in the county examination last year, had the best comments this time, and he occupied a place to enter Tanzhou Academy.

Last year, the county test list was the last place for a long time, and this time it was also the worst review.

Deng's grandfather even said that it was useless for Qu to study for a long time, and that it was better to find a book-copying errand in the academy library to earn some money to support his family.

Qu Chang was devastated and took Qu Duo back to Qujia Village.

Qu Kuaishou announced that the Li family had given the Qu family a place, and he decided that Qu would go to Tanzhou Academy to study for a long time.

Qu Changchang began to refuse, and later after the persuasion of Qu Kuaishou and his wife, he felt that maybe after studying in Tanzhou Academy for a year and a half, his knowledge could be improved, and he was promoted in the spring palace examination the year after that.

Qu Kuaishou said: "For a long time, my mother and I have prepared three hundred taels of silver, you take it, and you will go to Tanzhou Academy tomorrow." ”

Qu Changjiu learned that the money was made up by his father and mother who sold the fruit mountain and the good land, and felt pressured in his heart, knelt down and said: "Father, mother, I must study hard, and I will be promoted in the year after tomorrow." ”

Qu Duo went back to the bedroom silently, saw Xiao Deng lying on the bed wiping his tears, and said quietly: "Daddy and I go to Tanzhou Academy to study, and I can't pass the exam." ”

Xiao Deng sat up and asked, "Don't say anything discouraged. You are better than your father, if you go to Tanzhou Academy to study, you will definitely be able to pass the exam the year after tomorrow. ”

Qu Duozhi shook his head. The evaluation of the article written by Master Deng for him is only a little stronger than that of his father. He knew how many catties and taels he had. But what can he do if he doesn't study?

The next day, Qu Changchang went to Tanzhou Academy to study with confidence. Calm has returned to Qujia Village.

In the middle of August, the autumn was crisp and clear, the sky was cloudless, and four big carriages came to the entrance of Qujia Village.
