Chapter 117: The Lively Yue Family (320+)
The third more
"I helped them find a way to do this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zeng Fan also smiled after hearing it, but still said a word.
He also has a lot of friends now, and every ten days, Li Bin goes into the city to see him and send him something to eat. also talked about the situation at home, Zeng Fan heard that they were looking for a recipe for color ink, and he also went to the library of Yuelu Academy to find the ancient recipe.
Although he is not a student of Yuelu Academy, he is also a disciple of Master Liu, and it is normal for him to enter the academy to read. But I'm embarrassed to take a pen to transcribe, and it's really a shame that he memorizes it every time and goes home to record it. In this short period of time, he read through all the books related to ink making, and all the useful recipes were excerpted one by one, all of which he wanted to return to Li Ping.
"That's why you're only twenty?" Li Bin squinted at his brother-in-law, and he didn't say that he would read some books well. Let you go to Yuelu Academy to study, not to copy prescriptions.
"It's eighteen." Zeng Fan corrected it seriously, he was a strict boy. I don't care about the difference between the two, the focus is on precision.
"Is there a difference?" Li Bin squinted at him again.
"Nope!" Zeng Fan thought about it, except for the head of the case, it seems that from the second place to the hundredth place, it is almost the same.
"Wait until you go back and get scolded!" Li Bin was happy, and felt that this stupid boy was really better than Brother Hao, if Brother Hao could surround him. Thinking that Brother Hao had made the Chen family stupid, he also felt very happy, mainly because his father-in-law was too annoying.
However, Li Bin miscalculated, and he took Zeng Fan to the Li family first. In his car, it is natural to go back to his home first.
Zeng Quan and they were also there, and they were resting in school today, but because they wanted to make ink, they ran back again. They didn't expect the eldest brother to come back today, they were still making their own ink, and even Brother Hao took a small wooden hammer and hammered the cement there. There are three people, one color in front of one person, but it can be seen that the faces of the three are not very good. Seeing Zeng Fan, he didn't get up, Zeng Quan wanted to say something, but Brother Hao spoke.
"Brother Fan, I'm very busy now, I'll say hello to you when it's done." Brother Hao said and wiped the beads of sweat with his sleeve. There are really beads of sweat, it's April, they beat wildly with a hammer for half an hour, and it's strange that they don't sweat.
"You can't fight like this, you have to do this." Zeng Fan saw that Zeng Quan was okay, but Brother Hao'er's piece of cement didn't look like red, and it looked a little disgusting.
In the past, the cement was re-aligned, gently knocked flat and then folded and beaten repeatedly to ensure the uniformity of the cement.
"From the books?" Li Ping's soft voice came from behind him.
"Well, do it yourself." Zeng Fan immediately threw the wooden hammer to Brother Hao, got up suddenly, and wanted to turn around to say hello to his little fiancée. But when he got up, he thought of something again, and paused in the middle, but Li Ping had already flashed to his side at this time, so he slowly stood up straight and did not collide with Li Ping who had just been behind him.
Zeng Fan got up in such a hurry, he would definitely bump into the person behind him. When the person behind him gets up, he has to take a step back to leave room for him to get up, but retreating will seem a little abrupt and embarrassing.
However, Zeng Fan thought about it and stopped. And Li Ping was originally standing sideways, she took a diagonal step, and she could completely get out of the way, which showed the tacit understanding between the unmarried couple.
"I'm back!" Zeng Fan finally confronted his fiancée again, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say stupidly.
"Sister, this is a fool, don't get married." Brother Hao doesn't make up the knife, is it still Brother Hao? Busy said.
"Aren't you going to go into the mold?" Li Ping glared at Brother Hao'er, and looked at Zeng Quan and Zeng Yi by the way, "Don't you hurry up, the mud is going to dry." ”
Zeng Quan Zengyi immediately rushed into the kitchen with his piece.
"Come wash your hands, it's time to eat." Li Ping took him to the well and scooped water for him to wash his hands.
"I copied a lot of recipes, whether it was color ink or others, and I copied them all that were useful to you." Zeng Fan saw that there was no one left and right, and said softly.
"Okay, I'll go back and try." Li Ping smiled and brought him a soft-bristled brush to brush off the dirt in his hand prints.
"Have you been tired lately?" He washed his hands and looked at his little fiancée, who seemed to have grown a little taller, but looked thinner.
"Recently, it has been much better, except for the daily preparation of some colored ink materials at home, that is, cooking rice, and the stall are all handed over to Zeng Quan." Li Ping smiled and took a handkerchief to him.
Last time, Zeng Quan and the others heard that Li Ping was almost molested, and immediately the Zeng family's sense of honor came up. I was afraid that I would make a mistake and let Li Ping have an accident, but I really worked hard to get stronger. The article cannot be said to be amazing, but it can be seen that it is decent, serious and simple. Li Xiucai commented seriously, and then let them go out to work.
"Here's for you." Zeng Fan saw that there was no one, took out a bag of money in his arms, and stuffed it into Li Ping's hand.
"Leftover?" Li Ping was stunned for a moment, and her first reaction was that there was a surplus of pocket money for him.
"No, this is what my grandfather wants to give to the Liu family, and I can't return it to my father-in-law." Zeng Fan looked distressed. Returning the money to his grandfather, he passed the level that he didn't care about, but it seemed strange to give it to his father-in-law.
Li Ping understood what he meant, he went to the Liu family, and the living expenses should have been borne by the Zeng family, but the Li family paid for it first, which caused some trouble. nodded, "I'll give it to my mother when I turn around, don't worry." ”
Zeng Fan nodded, thinking about it, "Don't bring me money in the future, I have been going to the academy to read books recently, and I don't need any pocket money." ”
"Okay, let's go inside, Dad is afraid that he still has something to say to you." Li Ping couldn't pull him to talk too much in the courtyard, and pushed him into the house.
Li Xiucai and Li Bin drank tea in the hall, as if they didn't know they were talking outside. Zeng Fan hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed to his father-in-law, such a big gift, usually don't use it, but this time, Li Xiucai was born, and when he finished kowtowing, he helped him up.
"Well, Master Liu sent me a letter, saying that you are very diligent, and I am very relieved."
"It was the father-in-law who gave the son-in-law a chance, and the son-in-law had this creation." Zeng Fan's eyes were red, this was true.
In the days when he was studying at the Liu family, this was what he thought about the most. If he didn't have his father-in-law's help, if he hadn't gone to Liu's house, he didn't dare to think about when he would be able to get in touch with this circle of real scholars. Whether he is studying or taking exams, he never seems to have such a clear goal.
"If you have rotten wood, even if the old man wants to plant you, he can't. Young people are ambitious, and they are most afraid of pride and complacency. Now that you are not arrogant or boring, the old man is really relieved. Li Xiucai nodded.
"Okay, just talk nonsense when you meet, everyone in the world is your student." Mrs. Li snorted, Li Ping wiped the table with a smile on the side, Mrs. Li sent the tray to the four bowls of dishes and put them on the table, "Your brother didn't say it before, he didn't cook more dishes for you, just go back, and my mother-in-law will make you something to eat."
