The first update

"Whatever you want. "Zeng Fan is sincere, he is now the same as Brother Hao, he thinks that everything in the Li family is delicious, not to mention that the two-penny rice is so delicious."www.biquge.info And what he eats these days is the Li family's meal, which is the same as the Li family, even if it is simple at noon, it is also made by Mrs. Li herself, there are vegetables and rice, and the taste is better than pouring rice.

"Dad, what about you?" Li Ping could only look at her father.

"Can't think of it." Li Xiucai didn't know that he really didn't want to eat the vegetables, but he was responsible for picking the best ones every day, otherwise he would be old and not delicious after this time.

"Is it good to boil pumpkin gnocchi soup, it's a little cold, eat that warm." Li Ping thinks about it, there are a lot of pumpkins at home, which can be used to cook rice. And just now my father picked some frosted cabbage, which is now very sweet whether it is stir-fried or boiled in soup. At noon, she didn't bother to do it, so she decided to keep it simple.

"Well, fry some spicy food." This Li Xiucai liked it and nodded busily.

Li Ping looked at Zeng Fan, Zeng Fan nodded, pimple soup is actually made in every family, it is a very simple meal. And it's generally not too unpleasant. As long as the soup is delicious, you can drink a big bowl. He also likes to eat, and this is one of the few meals that Ouyang has made that is okay. However, this Zeng family will not eat it often, and the old man Zeng thinks that these soups and soups are not serious meals, and it is okay to eat them as breakfast, but they are not allowed to be used as a main meal.

Obviously, the Li family does not have such rules, and they can eat whatever they want. There is no need for a few plates and bowls. The main thing is that my mother is too busy, and as a result, she has to have three meals regularly, lunch and dinner have to be regular cooking and cooking, how can she have time to think about how to make good food. Even thinking about the dishes is a painful thing, so now the dishes at home are almost fixed. Everyone had asked for it before, and now they don't ask for it, and some can eat.

Li Xiucai didn't let Zeng Fan think about it anymore, he tapped him with a ring ruler, and he concentrated on writing the article. In the hoarseness of the loom, there was a kind of silence in his heart that he had never seen before. The article turned out to be like a divine help, and he quickly handed the article to his father-in-law.

Zeng Fan is actually really talented, if he wasn't talented, Li Xiucai wouldn't have this intention of cherishing talent. But Li Xiucai is now a kind of entanglement, let Zeng Fan take the exam, her daughter will suffer a lot, and even now, the family is saving money for her daughter, so that Zeng Fan can go to the exam in the future. This is destined to be a very difficult road, every time he thinks of this, he feels that his daughter suffers like a knife. But when he saw Zeng Fan's article, he felt that not letting him take the test was a kind of torture. He may feel guilty for the rest of his life and ruin the future of a young man.

"In fact, over the years, you have a good foundation, and Mr. Zheng has pressed you and refused to let you take the children's exam, which has to be said to be a pity for talent. I'm afraid that your youth will be ambitious, but I'm afraid that it will grow and be easy to break. Li Xiucai said softly after a while.

Mr. Zheng is a gentleman from the county school, and Li Xiucai is also familiar with him, but he has never asked Mr. Zheng how well he has Zeng Fan. Today, he deliberately took out the article, he wanted to know if this Xiucai could be admitted before the age of fifteen. Counting up, after the New Year, Zeng Fan will be fourteen, and the fifteen-year-old period he set for him refers to before the age of sixteen, so now it is only two years.

Now that I've read the article, I'm not worried about whether he can be admitted to Xiucai. However, now he is struggling, this talent is not lacking, but who knows if he lacks luck?

Xiucai takes the exam twice every three years, but Juren and Jinshi can only be tested once every three years. Even if he was admitted at the age of fifteen, then he had to go to the provincial capital to take the examination and go to the capital to take the Jinshi examination. If you miss it once, you will be delayed for three years. And then there is a constant back and forth on the road, and the daughter has to work hard to earn money to support, which is really a discouraging future.

"Yes!" Zeng Fan didn't have anything to be happy about when he heard what his father-in-law said, he just looked at his father-in-law's frowning brows worriedly, and he was a little scared.

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a saying of 'thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi', it is not difficult to take the show at the age of fifteen, but if you are only a tribute student at the age of thirty, the old man is really going to cry to death." Li Xiucai sighed, but he also spoke bluntly.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the Ming Jing referred to a kind of examination that was specially taken by outstanding talents recommended by people to become officials, which was different from the imperial examination. Since the previous dynasty, it referred to the tribute.

Gongsheng is the deputy list of lifting people. didn't get into the exam, but he was indeed very good, so he was recommended by the county and state government to go to Guozijian to study, in principle, he is qualified to be an official, but that is only in principle.

In recent years, Gongsheng has also lined up on seniority, waiting for the time limit, one by one, and exchanging more rice grain.

Li Xiucai didn't want to do this, so he taught at home with peace of mind. It is estimated that Zeng Qing is waiting for the qualification of Gongsheng. At this time, Li Xiucai deliberately pointed out this, clearly expressing his unwillingness to see this result.

"Father-in-law!"

"I have a son and a daughter, and Da Lang is also determined now, and he should be able to protect himself in the future. Erya is too honest, I really can't rest assured. Let's make a pact, okay? Thirty years old. If you can't get into the Jinshi at the age of 30, don't take the test. Come back and take this private school over to do it. Teach and educate people, and support his wife and children. Li Xiucai said softly.

"Thirty?" Zeng Fan was a little shocked.

"Yes, thirty, Fan'er, let you retire at the age of thirty, it's not entirely for Erya. Have you ever thought about what you will achieve in the future if you pass 30 and are admitted to the Jinshi? Li Xiucai has always spoken very slowly, but he is slowly telling his family that he is gentle, but now when he tells Zeng Fan, he is thoughtful.

Before the age of thirty, he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he still had the time and energy to work hard, but after that best year, a back that was bent by the imperial examination, and an old and muddy old eye, who would believe that he could become a pillar of the country? If you want to succeed, you need the right time, place, and people. It's not that if you get in, you won't have anything to do.

Now Li Xiucai has provided him with a way out, if you can't pass the exam, come back honestly to teach and educate me, support my family, and work hard for the next generation. Don't harm your wife and children.

After all, Zeng Fan was only a fourteen-year-old boy, and when he heard this, he understood the meaning, but he didn't really understand. Just looked at my father-in-law fixedly. In front of his grandfather and father, he set the condition that he would be admitted to Xiucai at the age of fifteen before continuing the marriage. Now in private, but I have made a thirty covenant with myself. He couldn't help but wonder if his father-in-law really looked down on him so much, so he was a little embarrassed everywhere.
