Chapter 18: Chance Encounters

"Almost, the two major tribute institutes in the north and south, except for the candidates in the north, most of the candidates in the east, south, and west have to pass through us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info every three years, if you live far away, if you walk slowly, it is a travel, so there are candidates who rush over there all year round. Li Niangzi is a clear door, Li Xiucai was like this back then, thinking of the suffering she suffered back then, she couldn't help but sigh lightly, "It's really pitiful for their parents, wives and children!" ”

Li Ping can't say anything, she really can't say that her mother is wrong, these days I watch my father read books and write notes, I have to say that he is talented. However, he is really not suitable to be an official. His temperament is actually too simple, like this, according to what the Hanlin Minister said back then, such a can only be an elegant hermit and a teacher. Therefore, his mother didn't let him take the test, and she didn't let him go wrong again. But she said that no one should take this exam, and she didn't dare to agree.

Hanlin Xianggong said that although there are not many opportunities for Hanmen scholars to come out, it does not mean that they have no chance at all. After all, this is the only level of advancement for all the scholars of the Han Sect. There are not a few poor children who are admitted every three years. It's just that if you are admitted, whether you can really attain the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, that is, it depends on the artificiality of each person. Just because my father doesn't have it doesn't mean that others don't.

They walked shop by store, if it weren't for her serious look, Li Niangzi would just think that she was really greedy this time.

They went shopping one by one, but they were divided into priorities, such as stationery stores, bookstores and so on, she just hurriedly shopped, but cloth shops, second-hand clothing stores, ready-to-wear stores, and jewelry stores. She would stop and ask her mother to ask the price one by one, with a thoughtful look.

Because Li Xiu has to eat, otherwise he would have to go shopping. On the way back, Li Ping still looked thoughtful, she had seen all kinds of cloth in the cloth shop one by one. As Mother said, not everyone can weave summer cloth. That yarn is very fine, with a certain proportion of hemp silk. This process is not difficult, but extremely cumbersome, there is that time, it is better to weave coarse cloth, yarn can be spun by itself, cloth can be woven by itself, if there are two people in the family, if there are two people, if you are a suo, the profit is actually about the same.

But she did find inspiration, and she did a very good job as a female worker. Her biological father didn't ask teachers from all walks of life back then, such as embroidering a handkerchief for Xianggong, making a fan bag, making some tassels, and tying a purse, there was nothing she wouldn't have.

She had just seen that these were all things that could be sold for money. Moreover, she also inquired, this can be used in the shop to receive patterns and fine materials. I only need to sell my craft to get paid. And this wage is definitely higher than weaving. But the problem is, she will, Erya won't. How did she tell her parents that she could do this?

"Mother, is there a lady in our village who can embroider and be a female celebrity?" On the way home, she looked sideways at her mother.

"How do you want to learn that, that old money is expensive. You also have to buy silk thread, use silk. "Mrs. Li naturally knows that doing those things that are more profitable, but they are rough and careless, and it is difficult to learn, and it is not as refreshing as weaving.

"But I really learned it, and I made more money than weaving. When practicing, you can use coarse cloth and ordinary thread. Li Ping struggled to explain to her mother.

Li Niangzi thought about it, but still shook her head, "Our village will also have the patriarch's wife, but she is old, and she doesn't do these jobs, so it's not good to let her teach you." ”

"Mrs. Patriarch, do I have to call him Uncle Grandmother?" Li Ping thought about it, holding her chin and pondering.

"Spirits." Mrs. Li is first-class in dealing with people, otherwise how could she have made the relationship with the clan so good over the years. It is also legitimate to find an opportunity for her daughter to meet the patriarch's wife, and to turn around and call 'grandmother' and let her accompany her in the patriarch's house, and learn something.

Li Niangzi was originally a smart person, as long as she was provided with an idea, she already had a hundred operable methods in her head, and she was smiling, but she was blocked by a small donkey cart on the road.

The two of them looked up together, the curtain opened, and a girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old jumped down. Looking at the dress, I also know that it is the child of a rich family. The girl didn't look at them, and turned around to help a middle-aged man out of the car. Li Ping looked up, the middle-aged man had a bookish look on his face, and the triangular beard on his chin was very much like a scribe.

"This is the wife of Li Xiucai in Lijia Village?" The scribe clenched his hands into fists, and his face was modest.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Li Xiucai is the grandson." Mrs. Li was very busy.

Li Ping didn't need to be taught, so she quietly bowed and stayed behind her mother.

"Mrs. Li's tutor is really good, Jing'er, look at my sister, how good the rules are." The scribe smiled and returned the salute, and said to the girl next to him.

"Yes!" The girl smiled and saluted Mrs. Li and Li Ping.

Li Ping had seen a lot of people in her last life, but she didn't know how to look at people back then, and she suffered a lot of losses later. Look at people's abilities, that is, they suffered a little bit at that time. Now she saw that the girl was a little shy, and this shyness was not due to the first time she had seen someone. But......

Li Ping was startled, but tried to restrain herself. Slowly looking up, he glanced at the girl again. The girl looked bright, and her eyes were clean. Look at the rules, it's good.

"Dare to ask if Mr. is a foreigner......" Mrs. Li really didn't know this, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask softly. Walking on the main road, only to be stopped by someone, always a little dissatisfied.

"Rude, rude, below is Chen Fuxing, the proprietor of the Fuxing, this is the little girl Chen Jing." The one smiled and bowed his hand again.

Li Niangzi couldn't help but take a step back and was pulled by Li Ping.

"Uncle Chen, this is the main road, do you want to invite you to the house for a simple meal?" Li Ping looked around, and hurriedly smiled and saluted him.

"Brother Li and his wife are really good at teaching their children, and their children are so outstanding." Chen Fuxing smiled, "You don't have to be polite to eat, I took my daughter on an outing, and I happened to see Mrs. and Ling Yan, just come down to say hello, don't disturb Mrs." ”

Chen Fuxing smiled and saluted again, and after a polite farewell, he helped his daughter get into the car, and waved goodbye to everyone after getting into the car, and then left slowly.

Li Niangzi was still shocked, but she still couldn't come back to her senses at this time, and the pawnshop where Li Bin worked belonged to Fuxing. Yes, it is only affiliated with Fuxing, but Fuxing is not just a small pawnshop. It is said that the Chen family has industries in the provincial capital and the county seat. The Chen family is the biggest rich man here.

"That Miss Chen looks pretty good." Mrs. Li looked down at her daughter.

"Yes, but is this suitable for my brother?" Li Ping was still a little hesitant. Of course, she knew the intention of the Chen family's move, and it was estimated that the eldest brother's intention to refuse had already passed on. The Chen family made a dangerous move, and deliberately brought their daughter to Mrs. Li to shake it. It shows that the daughter of their family is not worried about getting married. But Li Ping still thinks that the two families who are too far apart can really be together? What's more, this is a matter of two families, not the two of them.
