Chapter One Hundred and One

Li Junran wanted to catch up immediately and ask Li Junyang what was going on, but unfortunately she couldn't go anywhere at this time. As a person who sold himself to Cheng Fu as a maid, there is no freedom at all. If he is treated as a fugitive slave, it is not impossible to be killed directly if he is caught. She didn't want to lose her life for no reason.

Fortunately, Li Junyang just went to the thatched house on his stomach and should be able to come back soon. So Li Junran put his mind at ease for the time being, and waited patiently for Li Junyang to come back. But I don't want to wait left and wait for not to come back, and wait for the right to disappear, even the Li family, Li Cui's family, and Xiao Qiliu's mother-in-law who should have appeared are gone, Rao is Li Junran also felt a little more surprised and anxious in his heart.

"Mama Ding......" had no choice but to ask Mama Ding, who was silent, for help.

"......" Mama Ding was silent for a long time, and Li Junran slowly relieved when she thought there was no drama, "Half an hour!" ”

"Hey." Without looking back, Li Junran could guess that the waiter's face must be very unsightly at this time, but even if he knew, what if he knew? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people on top!

Li Junran paid a little price to find Li Junyang. Before he could get close to the simple hut, he heard a faint sound of sobbing coming from inside. I don't know if this is an induction between the dragon and phoenix, Li Junran can feel it, and Li Junyang is very sad at this moment.

Come to think of it, no matter how precocious it is, Li Junyang and Xiao Qiliu are only eight years old this year, and before Li Junran crossed over, he was a primary school student who had just picked up his schoolbag and went to school.

"What's there to cry about?" When there are no outsiders, Li Junran's "brother" is automatically omitted. No way. She really couldn't accept a little kid as her brother.

"But......" Li Junyang's voice came from the thatched house, with a very pronounced nasal voice.

"Don't talk yet, eat this." Li Junran took out the antidiarrheal medicine he bought from his own system store and handed it to Li Junyang from the top of the wooden door. In order not to be suspected, the appearance of brown pills was deliberately chosen, and it was chewed directly like stomach digesting tablets. Something like pills or capsules that obviously did not belong to this era, Li Junran didn't dare to take it out directly, but even so, it still made Li Junyang feel very surprised. Because the pill worked so well, he chewed it and swallowed it. After a while, the stomach that was still gurgling and aching immediately became fine.

Li Junyang rubbed in the thatched house for a while. Only then did he lower his head and walk out of it with a dejected face.

"Little sister, I'm ......"

"It's called 'sister'!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Alright, it's a little bigger. Isn't it that I didn't pass the entrance exam of Bailu Academy? Li Junran saw that Li Junyang was so depressed. To say that there is no disappointment would be a lie. But now it's all done. Crying won't solve the problem.

"But ......"

"Don't. Parents. And what about milk? Li Junran directly interrupted Li Junyang's words.

"My mother fainted yesterday......"

"Scared? Fainted? Mom is okay, right? ”

"Mother...... She ......"

"Huh?"

"After my mother fainted yesterday, my father went to find Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin said that his mother had been pregnant for a month, but she was just ...... Fell into the water the other day. Now that the wind and cold are in his body, this child is afraid that he will not be able to save ......" Li Junyang's expression was solemn, and his voice became softer and softer, "and...... My mother is sick again...... Dominate dad and don't let go......"

Regarding the fact that Li Xu is pregnant, Li Junran is not surprised at all. Whether it is the ancient times she learned from books before she crossed over, or the apocalypse dynasty after crossing over, she pays attention to what many sons and many blessings. As long as it can be born, it will continue to reproduce. In the era when the level of medical care is not high, and every time a baby is born, it is equivalent to going to the Yama Temple for a walk, whether it is a newborn baby or a fragile young child, the mortality rate is high. From the perspective of passers-by, Li Junran still admires the four rooms of the Li family, that is, Li Pinghai's lineage. You must know that in the entire Lijiatun, it seems that the Li family has raised all the children in the fourth room, but in fact, this is not an easy task.

As for Li Xu's birth, although Li Junran feels a little regretful, there is really not much sadness. In Li Junran's view, it is better to go with the flow than to give birth to a child with congenital deficiencies or even defects in the future. In the future, I will take care of my body and welcome the arrival of a new life. Although it may be heartbroken and unacceptable for a short period of time, with the passage of time, especially when a new life is born, even if it is the biological parents, all the sadness will be blown away with the wind.

"So you're coming to Yue Town alone?"

"No, it was Aunt Mihua who asked Uncle Zhengji to drive me here, and then Uncle Zhengji went to the market to buy medicine for the fifth grandfather." Li Junyang sat on the stone steps, and his feelings were still very low. It seems that this blow is really not small for Li Junyang.

"Goo~~" Xu is face was flushed, his stomach protested strongly, and Li Junyang's face turned red all of a sudden.

Li Junran looked around and found that there were no people around, so he took out a sweet white flour steamed bun that was still warm from the inner pocket of his clothes. Meat buns or something, for a person who has just experienced diarrhea, especially a child who is only eight years old, is a little greasy and hurts the stomach.

When Li Junyang saw that what Li Junran handed him was a white-flour steamed bun, the big eyes that looked very similar to Xiao Qiliu were shining, and he was obviously very excited. But in the blink of an eye, Li Junyang pursed his lips again and asked softly: "Liu'er, this steamed bun, I, can I take it back to my mother to eat?" ”

"What do you say?" Li Junran raised her eyebrows.

"I know that Liu Er is the most filial." Li Junyang laughed, and those big eyes were like crescent moons. To say that the genetics of the old Li family are really not bad, but unfortunately because of years of malnutrition, the complexion is yellow, and the weight has been lost, and there is not much meat left on the face. In Li Junran's opinion, children are the cutest when they are white and chubby. At this moment, Li Junran completely forgot that her small body was actually half an hour younger than Li Junyang.

"Where is so much nonsense, hurry up and eat! If it's cold, it won't taste good. Li Junran did not answer Li Junyang. just urged him to quickly eliminate the white-flour sweet steamed bun in front of him.

"Hey." Li Junyang divided the white flour sweet steamed bun into two, and handed the big one to Li Junran, "Liu'er, you can eat it too." ”

"You can eat." Li Junran waved her hand, the white flour sweet steamed bun she gave Li Junyang was not big, if there was one and a half of it, I was afraid that it would not be enough to stuff the teeth. What's more, in her manor warehouse, white flour and sweet steamed buns are the simplest food, you can eat as much as you want, why bother to grab it from Li Junyang?

Li Junyang had also eaten white-flour steamed buns before, but none of them were as sweet and delicious as the one Li Junran gave him. This white-flour steamed bun is smaller than his fist. That taste has always been engraved in the depths of Li Junyang's memory. It has not been forgotten for decades since. Even if he is in a high position, even if he is above tens of thousands of people under one person, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are placed in front of Li Junyang, and what Li Junyang is most worried about in his heart is still the original sweet steamed bun with white flour that he will never forget.

The white flour sweet steamed bun is not big. No matter how carefully Li Junyang chews, swallows slowly, and eats slowly. A few bites will be wiped out.

"Liu'er. I want to try this ......" After eliminating the white flour sweet steamed bun, he pulled out a crumpled piece of rice paper from his sleeve pocket. Li Junran raised her eyes and looked at it, and was suddenly embarrassed. This. Isn't this the test question that Li Junyang snatched from her just now, so he ......

Xu Shi noticed that Li Junran's gaze was a little strange, Li Junyang's little face turned red all of a sudden, and he stumbled and explained: "I, the wood chips I use." ”

In the end, for fear that Li Junran would not believe it, he added: "Really." I also washed my hands, and my mother taught me to wash my hands before and after changing my clothes. ”

Li Junran smiled.

"I didn't disbelieve you."

But your expression ...... Li Junyang shrunk her neck, she actually wanted to sue Li Junran, but in fact, her expression clearly explained that she almost engraved the three big words "don't believe" on the door of her head. But Li Junyang didn't dare to say these words. And Li Junran didn't understand the truth, since Li Junyang didn't say it directly, she was happy to pretend to be stupid and just pretend not to know.

"Will you do it?" Li Junran finally had a good conscience and changed the topic.

Li Junyang shook his head, although he recognized all the words in the test questions except for a few words. Together, he wasn't sure if it was the answer he had in mind. Regardless, he's willing to give it a try.

"I don't know, I'm going to have to try. Maybe it's ......"

"If you want to try, then try."

"Liu'er, you...... Don't help me? ”

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself!"

"......" Li Junyang was silent, for this sibling sister who obviously dropped the bag, Li Junyang's mood was complicated. The little sister who had been hiding behind her cowardly stopped in front of her in the blink of an eye, and her whole temperament has changed dramatically. The confidence and momentum shown by Li Junran's gestures not only made Li Junyang a little more dependent, but also instinctively felt uneasy because of admiration.

Li Junran's words are undoubtedly a blow to Li Junyang. But in the blink of an eye, Li Junyang suddenly came back to his senses and figured out something. As Li Junran said, it is better to seek others than to seek yourself. In any case, he is now the eldest son and grandson of the second room of the Li family in Li Jiatun, and the burden of revitalizing the second room and one line of the Li family in the future can fall on the shoulders of him Li Junyang. Could it be that in the future, he will let his sister help him solve everything?

Li Junyang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath. When I opened my eyes again, the still immature face had lost the look of decadence and frustration. Li Junran silently observed, it was expected that Li Junyang would be able to cheer up, but the time was far faster than he imagined. Obviously, Xiao Qiliu's compatriot brother's mind is even tougher than she imagined, and it is no wonder that Miss Cheng Fu values it so much.

Li Junyang sat on the stone steps, picked up the small stones on the side of the road, and carved them on the ground. As he painted, he muttered to himself, "A chick has two legs, and a rabbit has four legs...... There are seventy chickens and rabbits, one hundred and ninety legs, ......"

Li Junyang frowned and struggled for a long time before he looked up uncertainly and asked Li Junran: "Liu'er, is there forty-five chickens and ...... rabbits?"

"Didn't the question ask how many ducks there were?" Li Junran yawned loudly, and as soon as he got up too early, as soon as he relaxed, the sleepy insects and other things began to make trouble.

"Ducks?" Li Junyang lowered his head and looked at the test questions in his hand again, not to mention that the test questions were really asking how many ducks there were. It seems that it should be a mistake in transcribing the title.

"Now ......"

Li Junyang wanted to ask Li Junran if he was wrong. It can be seen that Li Junran didn't plan to help, so he decisively chose to rely on himself. After struggling for a while, Li Junyang still decided to write down both answers, not only calculated how many chickens and rabbits there were according to the question, but also answered that there was no duck.

Li Junyang, including all the people present who saw this test question, felt that it was a transcription error in the transcription process, which made the last question that was supposed to ask how many chickens there were turned out to be ducks. In fact, the title was a mistake made by some disrespectful old urchin, but when he noticed the error. With a good face, he chose to make a mistake like this.

Ordinary people like Li Junyang are not very well-informed because they are not very well-informed. Naturally, it is not clear for the time being that the real inside story of Bailu Academy's recruitment of so-called auditor students this time. But this matter can't be hidden from those official eunuchs at all, not to mention that an old naughty boy didn't even think to hide it.

So the question of how many chickens and ducks there are has pitted many people. Like Li Junyang, all the answers are not none, but very few. Li Junyang counts as one. Cheng Yuyao counts as one. Cheng Yuyao and Li Junyang answered similarly. Not only did I find out how many chickens and rabbits there were. It is also noted how many ducks there are. The rest of the people have a variety of answers, among which Li Zongbao, who made Cheng Yuyan feel very unpleasant when she saw it, the answer was the most strange.

Li Zongbao is very "fun". He seriously marked out what he thought was wrong in the title, corrected it, and wrote a large "splendid" article with at least 10,000 words. It is shown everywhere in the text that such a chicken and duck are not distinguished, and the danger is very large, which will not be conducive to the prosperity of the country and will affect the majority of people to live and work in peace and contentment...... Therefore, those who make such mistakes must be severely punished, and deep self-examination alone is no longer enough to make up for the danger it causes......

So, when Li Zongbao's splendid article appeared in front of the masters of Bailu Academy who knew the inside story, from the respected dean of the book to the masters who taught the specific teaching, the expressions on their faces were very wonderful. Where did this nerd come from, this should be known to some respectable old fellow?! Still is...... It's good to know!

Cheng Yuyan didn't know that there was such a small episode in the entrance exam that seemed to her to be simple. Of course, even if she knew about this, according to Cheng Yuyan's "revenge and revenge", she was very much in favor of such a small episode. After all, because of such a small episode, Li Zongbao appeared in front of several people in the Apocalypse Dynasty in advance, and he also left a not very good initial impression.

The initial impression is sometimes really subtle, and it may be harmless to look at, but at a critical moment, it can often influence the judgment of a key decision. And Li Zongbao, because of such a not very good initial impression, made him study in the future, and even on the road to promotion in the imperial examination, he went around a big circle, and the speed of promotion was far less than that before Cheng Yuyan's rebirth. Of course, it will be many years before this happens. At this time, Li Zongbao is still holding on to the small problem of "chickens and ducks are different".

In fact, Li Zongbao, who has a tendon, is also quite innocent. As far as his brain circuit goes, he would have thought that this time it was really just a temporary clerical mistake by an old naughty boy, and then he made a mistake again for the sake of face. In Li Zongbao's view, this is a hidden hint in the entrance exam, and it is regarded as taking the prefectural examination in advance. Because he really wanted to learn from that respected person.

It's a pity, it's a pity......

Li Junran accompanied Li Junyang to answer the questions on the entrance exam, and then went to the test question collection point to seal the answers with wax. Li Junyang personally threw the letter in his hand, which contained the infinite hopes of himself and his family, into the wooden barrel.

"Liu'er, this, can it work?" Li Junyang has no confidence at all in his heart.

"Why not?" Li Junran didn't know if it was an illusion, in her opinion, it was not difficult to recruit any audit students this time, and she looked coldly at the questions in this exam that were not like the content in the compulsory subjects of the imperial examination such as the Four Books and Five Classics, it seemed that it was ...... It is more inclined to the arithmetic class that needs to be calculated.

In the few months that Li Junran was in Chengfu, in addition to working hard to farm and get rich in his spare time, he also read a lot of idle books through Bai Zhi, and secretly inquired about a lot of things by the way. Therefore, for Bailu Academy, although he has never entered the academy, some things are not dark and he doesn't know anything.

The West Garden of Bailu Academy is a place where only men are allowed to enter. The West Garden covers a large area, and according to the course of knowledge taught by the students, it is divided into an initiation class for learning from scratch, a children's class for the examination of Xiucai, and a test class for the autumn school once every three years. The students in the trial class must have meritorious fame, and the lowest is to show talent.

It can be said that the academy is a reserve training base for officials at all levels in the Apocalypse Dynasty, especially the four famous academies like the White Deer Academy. Every three years, most of the top 100 in the imperial examination come from the four major academies, like the top three champions and tanhua, and there are few who are left behind. In the Apocalypse Dynasty, there was even a saying that "if you can enter the examination class of the four major academies, half of your feet have stepped into the officialdom". Of course, there is no problem of leakage of exam questions for favoritism and fraud, it is the key high school of the Apocalypse Dynasty version at all, and it is also the top four in the country.

In the Tianqi Dynasty, in addition to the civil officials born in the imperial examination and the military attachΓ©s born in the martial examination, there was also a category of officials, who belonged to those who ate technical rice, such as those officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Qin Tianjian. Therefore, Bailu Academy also specially opened the discipline of technology. Li Junran never thought that some doctors were very criticized for their skills, and Confucius also said that "if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools". The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans know how to use tools. The progress of tools often means the development of society and the strength of the country.

Therefore, this so-called recruitment of audit students, especially after seeing those test questions, Li Junran had a little more bold guess in his heart, he would not want to take the opportunity to recruit some talented talents in skills. Otherwise, why do you have so many problems that need to be deduced and calculated? So, Li Junran was not idle, and behind the test questions, let Li Jun and Yang Lishang exchange a handful and give back a question.

"Liu'er, how can that 'one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eighty-nine' be a hundred?" Li Junyang had never been exposed to the ninety-nine multiplication table before, so he couldn't turn a corner in his mind for a while.

Li Junran was a little helpless, selling herself to Cheng Fu for herself, and she didn't have so much time. If she is in the Li family at this time, she must "toss" Xiao Qiliu's brother Li Jun Yang Tong's shoes. is not on the side, just rushing at Fang Cai's test questions, most of the questions are Li Junyang's own clever answers.

Li Junran unceremoniously reached out and pinched Li Junyang's cheek, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to use your own brains to come up with this." ”

"Oh."

"If you can't think of it, remember to call me 'sister' next time."

"......" Li Junyang had a strange expression on his face, and he really couldn't figure out why his newly appointed sister was always thinking about this. (To be continued......)
