Qin Ni recognized this official master at a glance, and thought that this was Li Zhu's grandfather, Li Zhu's relative, and nodded to Li Zhu, meaning that he could respond. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He didn't mean to be reminded, after all, the official himself didn't take the initiative to say it, and it would definitely be bad for him, an outsider, to say it.

Li Zhu nodded to the official master and said, "Okay, let's go over and eat noodles together, but we will pay for the noodles ourselves." Your share is yours too. If it weren't for your old invitation, our family wouldn't be able to eat this noodle, so it would be your invitation. ”

The official master listened interestingly and responded.

The crowd marched towards the noodle stalls.

Everyone sat down, Li Zhu asked the boss inside for a piece of somen noodles, ordered a pork noodle for Qin Ni and Li Hai, and then asked Qin Ni to order it casually, and said to the official master: "You always look at what you eat, let's order a few of them." ”

The official man frowned and said, "How do you order somen yourself." ”

Li Zhudao: "My daughter can only eat somen noodles, and she will definitely not be able to eat a big bowl, so I will share a bowl with her." ”

When the official heard Li Zhu's words, he looked at Binbin. The snow-white and snow-white female doll, the most special thing is the eyes that have been moving, the bones are turning, and she is smart at first glance. Remembering what Hamahama said just now that didn't match this age, it was really not a description of a small ghost, and nodded with a smile.

Qin Ni looked at the noodles on the other tables, shook his head, and reluctantly ordered a meat noodle.

The official ordered a beef noodle by himself. Then he talked to Li Zhupan.

The official master is a veteran of officialdom, and if he wants to flatter and clichés, he is not ready to be caught, but it is invalid here in Li Zhu.

Although Li Zhu didn't have a lot of trouble, he was smart, and he had just discovered that this old man was inappropriate, so why didn't he pay attention to it, and he didn't know if he asked four or five or six, and he didn't know what he asked.

The most depressing thing for the official was that he didn't ask about Li Zhu's family, but just talked to him about other things, and Li Zhu didn't answer or talked about it elsewhere, so he avoided it by feeding the child noodles.

The official master tried to ask a few things in the books, Li Zhu glanced at the official master, squinted his eyes, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you want to take the Xiucai exam?" Or help the children at home? ”

It is difficult to take the test, and it is not surprising that someone will take the test for a lifetime.

The official said with a smile: "What's the difference between asking for myself and asking for the children at home?" ”

Li Zhu waved his hand and said, "If you ask for yourself, you can't say that you will listen to my advice, I will just tell you the hopes of your family." The people in the family definitely don't want you to take the show exam now. It's not that you haven't been admitted for so long because you're old, but life is short, and it's not more meaningful to do something other than reading? Although there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, as the saying goes, the trip of the sun and the moon, if you come out of it, the stars are brilliant, if you are out of it. Only by taking a step and caring everywhere can we truly live. ”

The official master listened to Li Zhu's words and nodded in his heart.

Li Zhu paused and said, "Take me as an example." If I ignore the children, and the children have bad intentions and don't say who they are harming, the family will not be at peace. ”

The official master looked at Li Zhu expressionlessly, and agreed with his remarks in his heart.

Li Zhu smiled and said: "I don't have any tricks for the child, read more, write more, read more, Xiucai is very simple, go to the examination room, don't be nervous, everyone is the same person, the rules in the examination room are fair, everyone comes over like this." ”

After hearing this, the official man nodded and didn't say anything.

Maybe he felt that he couldn't ask anything if he continued to ask, so the official man simply concentrated on eating noodles.

Brother Li Hai ate noodles at the slowest speed, so that he was silent.

Li Zhu fed a few noodles to Binbin, and Binbin shook his head and said, "Dad, this noodles are not as delicious as you make." No. ”

Qin Ni took a bite of noodles, and his face wrinkled together. Although I had just seen it at the table next door and was prepared that it would not be too delicious, I still couldn't eat much. Suddenly, Qin Ni laughed. I am used to living a comfortable life, and I even have an appetite, and I can't eat anything that is fresh or unpalatable. It seems that in the palace before, I didn't have such an appetite.

Qin Ni glanced at the official master, at Binbin, and at Li Zhu, hoping that his original choice was correct. Now that his deed of sale is in the hands of someone else's family, this round of gambling is bigger than before, and he is all on Binbin.

The official master took a strange bite of noodles, the noodles were still like this, but Li Zhu's family and Qin Ni didn't look like they were fake. Qin Ni is used to eating food in the palace, and he has not yet adapted to the food outside the palace, which is understandable. And the expressions of Li Zhu's family show that what Li Zhu does must be delicious.

Li Zhu saw that Binbin really didn't eat, looked at everyone around, and said to Brother Li Hai: "You guys, hold the bowl up, and it's not a puppy, how can you eat on your stomach?" ”

After hearing this, Brother Li Hai immediately picked up the bowl and ate it slowly.

Hamahama suddenly remembered that his father used to add fresh duck eggs when kneading the noodles to make the noodles smoother and more flavorful. She used to think that everyone here did this, but it seems that only her own family is like this. Your own pasta can be put on the restaurant. Hamahama smiled at the thought of something to make money.

The old man was like a person, and he saw at a glance that the children didn't like to eat like this, and said with a smile: "Presumably, the cook in Li Xiucai's family is a good craft." ”

Li Zhu responded with a smile: "There is no cook in our family, I and my wife cook by ourselves." Sometimes the family is empty, and they take the handle. ”

The official lord looked at Li Zhu strangely, and without waiting for the official lord to be strange, Li Zhu took the initiative to say: "I'm not afraid of your old jokes, I took this talent title so that I don't have to pay poll tax or serve." At that time, the family had just separated, the children in the family were small, and the daughter-in-law was alone, so I was afraid that my daughter-in-law and the children would be wronged, so I began to read. Don't mind, I don't mean to show off, I'm telling you sincerely, you go home and tell the children to memorize all the books for the exam, it's okay, it's not difficult. ”

The official man smiled and nodded, he also felt the same, there is really no difficulty in the Xiucai test. Just some rote memorization. It seems that this great-grandson of his own family has inherited his own eyes. I thought about it and confirmed it again.

The official pretended to be disappointed and said: "Alas, Li Xiucai must be hardworking, but our children can't do it." ”

Li Zhu replied with a smile: "I am very diligent in serving the things in the field. ”

Hamahama looked at his father and stroked his forehead, why did his father suddenly become stupid?

Li Tao listened to it next to him and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, what this old man means is that you are diligent in reading. ”

Li Zhu looked at his son, glared at him, shook his head at the official master, and said, "Old man, you can't use diligence to read books, but use it seriously." ”

The official master heard the signs, was a little excited, and vigorously pinched the table with his hand, and said, "Did Li Xiucai read the book seriously in the past?" ”

Li Zhu nodded, which was an answer.

Seeing Li Zhu nodding, the official was excited, looked at Li Hai again, and asked, "This little Xiucai also read the book carefully to take the exam?" ”

Lehi looked up at the official master, he saw that something was wrong, but the experience was there, and he knew that it was strange and didn't know where it was strange.

Qin Ni looked at the appearance of the official master, and his heart was strange, but he had already thought of what he asked. He looked down and thought about it, but didn't look up to answer him.

Hamahama, who was cultivated in the form of the heir of a big family in her previous life, how could she not see the strangeness of the official master, but because after she arrived here, the people in the family were all smart and unforgettable, so she did not think of the strangeness of the official master.

Li Zhu looked at the excited official master, frowned, and said, "The people in our family just have a good memory, and there is nothing special about it. It's good to practice more about memory. Are you old? ”

When the official heard this, he stood up excitedly. looked at Li Zhu's family, and suddenly remembered that he hadn't recognized his relatives yet, so he sat down again and said, "Listening to Li Xiucai's accent, it doesn't look like a local?" You're here to study and prepare for the exam, right? ”

Li Zhu shook his head with a smile and said, "No, our family just went to the capital to walk around and look around." ”

The official said with a smile: "I have a nephew who cares at the academy, if you want to apply for school, I can help introduce one or two." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhu thought that this old man was an intermediary who wanted to attract people to enroll in school to earn intermediary fees, and thought that his heart was not bad, so he was a little better at it, and he smiled and said with a smile on his face, and said: "Old man, thank you for your kindness, we really didn't go to Beijing to study." Let's go shopping and see the rise and fall, and we have to go home. ”

The official man frowned, and said: "If you want to take the exam, where can you compare to the capital, the teaching here is the best, and the books are complete......"

Li Zhu interrupted the official master with a smile and said, "Old man, everything in the capital is good, but for me, home is the best." Moreover, learning is not something that can be taught by others, mainly by pondering it by oneself and thinking it through oneself, where is not learning. The teacher is the guide, whether it is good or bad, or it is on his own. ”

After hearing this, the official nodded, it is true, he also read books by himself at the beginning.

This made the old man even more sure of what he thought in his heart, thought about it, and asked, "I heard that all of you who study are blessed by God. We are the officials of the court, and we will never forget it, you say, how can there be such a person? It must have been something he did, and he was afraid that others would know about it, so he spread such a thing. ”

When Li Zhu heard this, he frowned and said, "Old man, I don't forget that I have worked hard to remember things in the past. It's like the owner of a pawnshop, he can roughly estimate the price of the pawn by looking at the pawn, and this means the same thing. Everything is more and more enjoyable the more you use it. ”

The official master glanced at Li Zhu and did not continue to speak, he already had a plan in his heart. I have a plan, and I am not in the mood to eat noodles. He quickly finished pulling his noodles and said goodbye to Li Zhu and went home.

Qin Ni looked at the official master and looked at Brother Li Hai. When he knew that Li Zhu was going to come over to recognize his relatives, he had already thought about everything, but his heart was still not calm. Just after the peaceful days, the change came too quickly.

After Li Zhu's family finished eating noodles, they carried the basket and led the mini horse back to their home.

Li Tao and Li Bo were very excited and wanted to ride on the horse, but it was Li Zhu and Li Hai who stopped them, and the two brothers stopped for a while.

After returning home, Li Quan looked at what Li Zhu had bought and shook his head, but said nothing. Li Quan has automatically classified the ideas of intelligent people as different from ordinary people.

Li Zhu arranged the things and told Li Quan about the strange old man he encountered today.

Li Quan listened for a while, thought for a while, and said, "You don't have anything to offend that old man, right?" ”

Li Zhu looked at Li Quan and shook his head with a smile.

Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This capital, I really don't know the official if I don't come, and I walk on the road casually, and I guess I am all officials." Or our own home is comfortable. You can do what you want, and there are so many ideas. ”

Li Zhu smiled and nodded.

Deng Shi smiled and said, "That's the case, it's better to be at home." ”

Li Quan smiled and said to the Deng family: "I see that my younger brothers and sisters like it here, and I am smiling when I see you embroidering things?" It's a good thing, everyone is happy. ”

Deng said with a smile: "I embroider things at home every day, how can there be any good things." It is the embroidery here that sells at a high price, and a piece of silk is ten cents higher than that of the family. ”

Li Quan's eyes widened in surprise and said, "So much higher!" ”

Deng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes." The embroidery here has high requirements for color and style, and the price is also high. Really good. ”

Li Quan lowered his head and thought about it, and said to Li Zhu: "Zhu, come with me to the cloth shop tomorrow, and let's ask about the price of silk and embroidery thread." ”

Deng Shi smiled and said, "Brother Quan, I asked about these, and they are the same price as our family." ”

After hearing this, Li Quan said with a smile: "When I find a cheap embroidery thread, I can sell it here and make a profit." ”

Li Zhu and Deng both nodded after hearing this. Neither of them felt that discussing the matter of making money was inconsistent with their identity.

As Qin Ni expected, Guan Jianxing came over that night to inform everyone that they could recognize their relatives tomorrow.

After hearing this, the corners of Li Dao's mouth curled, and he pulled Li Qiyue back to the room early to rest.

Li Zhu and his wife and Li Quan were busy, preparing to make the food agreed upon in the morning.

On the second day, everyone went to the government to confess their relatives with apprehension.

Li Dao held a self-painted calligraphy and painting in his hand. Li Zhu and Li Quan both looked at it, presumably this was Li Dao's gift.

Different from Li Dao's bookish scent, Li Zhu was carrying twenty crab roe soup dumplings, and Li Quan was holding five second chickens in the world, and these two people were carrying bursts of fragrant food in their hands.

These two people are prepared according to the number of heads of the old man, his wife, aunt, uncle, and official Jianxing.

Early in the morning, Guan Jianxing sent the family's carriage to pick up everyone.

Two barley horses, brown carriages. The appearance is neither heavy nor flashy, it is an ordinary carriage. However, the compartment is very large. Li Zhu and his entourage, five adults and five children, all sat in and did not feel crowded at all.

Guan Jianxing sent two carriages over, the same as when he came, one for Li Dao and his son, one for Li Zhu's family and Li Quan and Qin Ni.

The official mansion, a hundred years old, the entrance is just made of ordinary bluestone.

Before entering, Li Zhu's family and Li Quan looked out and saw the carriage heading towards the side door, and both of them were silent in a bad mood.

Inside the car, Lehi clenched his fists. Li Tao and Li Bo looked at each other.

Li Hai said to Binbin: "We must study hard, and in the future, we must not let you go astray." If we don't leave, neither will our children and grandchildren. ”

Hamahama nodded after hearing this.

Qin Ni glanced at Li Hai deeply and didn't say anything.

The carriage entered through the side door. In contrast to the magnificent mahogany gates, the side doors are made of ordinary hard wood panels. The road behind the side gate is a gravel road, and even the best coachman will have bumps.

Li Zhu's family and Li Quan were in a slightly heavy mood, so they did not take a closer look at the garden scenery outside the car.

It was a seven-entry courtyard, and the carriage stopped when it drove into the second courtyard. Outside the porch, a butler-like figure in a satin skirt and a satin vest with dark stripes stood there.

Everyone got out of the carriage and walked towards it, and the housekeeper-like person smiled and said, "You are the great-grandchildren that Aunt Mei said, right?" Hello! I am Steward Zhong, and the official has just returned to the capital, and I am in a hurry to recognize my relatives with you. ”

Li Dao felt comfortable after hearing this, and Li Zhu and Li Quan were silent after hearing it.

Qin Ni looked at his owner's expression, and he was a little calculating, and immediately looked at Binbin, only to see that Binbin didn't squint, and nodded in his heart.

Hamahama had never seen any rare buildings in her previous life, and she had even been to the Forbidden City. Compared with the Imperial Palace, the palace is not luxurious, and compared with the amusement park in the previous life, it is just more leisurely and does not have much character.

Li Zhu's family lives in a novel and elegant way, and they don't have so much thought about the palace, and the family is looking at the housekeeper without squinting.

Steward Zhong smiled and said, "Everyone follow me." After speaking, he bent down slightly and saluted, and led everyone forward.

The crowd quickly followed.

Qin Ni consciously walked behind everyone.

Binbin looked at Qin Ni's appearance and asked him to hold himself, firstly, to show his remarks, and secondly, not to embarrass him.

Qin Ni looked at Binbin's appearance, hugged her with a smile, and asked jokingly, "Does Miss like it here?" ”

Hamahama shook his head and said, "I don't like it." It's sinking here, as if something is pressing down on you. Grandpa Qin, did you say that we recognized each other today and can go home tomorrow? ”

Qin Ni shook his head with a smile and said, "This depends on your father." But Miss wants to go home, I can go home with you. ”

After hearing this, Hamahama nodded and said, "Dad definitely wants to go home, you didn't see the bump just now, Dad's face is dark." ”

Qin Ni smiled and nodded, indeed, Li Zhu pays attention to self-reliance, like this kind of normal treatment of an aunt, they have never been guilty, and they must feel uncomfortable.

It's good if you're uncomfortable, and if you're uncomfortable, you won't fall in love with these, and you're definitely going home. Go back! Qin Ni has already regarded the Li Zhu family in Lijia Village, Shangjiang Town, as his home.

Qin Ni was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of grass ropes for ten years, and he didn't want to have anything to do with any power anymore.

After passing through the three gates, the group was taken to the fifth courtyard, all the way to the courtyard on the left. He stopped in front of a courtyard gate with the words "Looking forward to returning" written on the door.

Zhong Guan said: "In front is Aunt Mei's courtyard, and the official master, the official young master and the official young master are also included. ”

After hearing this, Deng Shi hurriedly straightened and flattened Li Zhu's clothes, asked the children to pull their clothes and pull off the dust that did not exist on their clothes, and asked Qin Ni to put Binbin down and let him walk on his own.

Li Dao stopped, took out the Xiucai hat from his sleeve, put it on properly, let his son hold the painting, patted the clothes and walked forward first.

Brother Li Hai and Hamahama were a little dumbfounded.

Five meters behind Li Dao, Li Bo was mischievous and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, the second uncle looks like a teacher in the school." ”

Li Tao patted Li Bo and said: "The second uncle doesn't plan to go home, he must look like a dog." ”

Qin Ni almost laughed out loud when he heard Li Tao's words.

After Li Zhu heard this, he immediately patted Li Tao on the shoulder and said, "Don't talk about elders like that. ”

Li Hai took Binbin's hand and said, "Our family has been separated, and it has nothing to do with us whether the second uncle goes home or not." How did our family come to be, how did we go back? ”

Li Quan frowned, and said to Li Zhu: "Zhu, you said that Dao has made up his mind to stay and not go back?" ”

Li Zhu thought for a while and said: "It is estimated that the second brother's family will not serve the things at home and the things in the field, he is dedicated to promoting people as officials and teaching and educating people, no matter what, it is better to follow the Tai Lao Ye than at home." ”

Li Quan sighed, frowned, and said, "Alas, he can do whatever he wants." I can't stand it when I go home every day without going through the door. I was already angry outside, and when I went home, I had to nest in the fire, and I was in the nest, and my life was lost. I'm just a businessman, but I'm in charge at home, and here, alas, I can't stand it. I thought, in the future, when the children are out, they must go to Beijing for business, and I tell you, I ...... these days."

Li Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "That's the reason." Brother Quan, you say every night that you will close your mouth today, not to mention your business in the capital. ”

After Li Quan heard this, he smiled embarrassedly and took his mouth. He's excited!

After a pause, Li Zhu smiled and said to Li Quan: "Brother Quan, last time I heard that the Tai Lao Ye likes fresh things, you said, I want to see his living fresh things, will the Tai Lao Ye let me take a look?" Rising insight. ”

After hearing this, Binbin immediately became interested, and said to Li Zhu: "Dad, let's just take a look, you will mention it later." ”

Li Zhu smiled and nodded.

After Brother Li Hai heard this, his eyes lit up a few degrees.

Li Quan looked at Deng helplessly, and the latter shook his head with a smile, obviously not wanting to ruin the interest of Li Zhu and the child.

Qin Ni was relieved at this time, and was a little silent for the official master, it seemed that he did not have a fresh living creature that was as attractive to Li Zhu's family.

The crowd stepped into a simple courtyard. There is only one plum tree in the courtyard, and an incense burner is placed under the plum blossom table.

Before Li Zhu's family entered Li Quan, they had heard Li Daoping's voice greeting everyone.

It's a little embarrassing. It's not going in, it's not going in.

Li Zhu and the others had to stop outside the door for a while.

After a while, Steward Zhong came out and let Li Zhu's family in. Qin Ni stayed outside the hall.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw the old man sitting in front of the hall.

Different from yesterday's torn patch clothes, today's body is dressed in dark silk satin long straight clothes, and the white jade Guanyin statue with a transparent block hanging on the waist cannot be said to be extravagant, but its appearance is not angry and self-assured, and it looks like a long-time high-ranking person, which is obviously different from yesterday. It's not the difference in appearance, but the aura of the whole person, a majestic and solemn aura. (To be continued.) )
