Chapter 177
Li Junran walked around the nearby market, and after making sure that no one was following him behind him, he ran back to the Li Kee grocery store.
"Nian'er, you ...... Your face ...... "To say that Li Junran's makeup skills are really good, after entering the door, Li Xu was taken aback, at first glance I thought I saw Li Junyang who was supposed to be in Bailu Academy, but when I was wondering, I was confused by Li Junran's super high sugar content "Niang", "Liu'er? ”
"Hee-hee-hee, mother~" Li Junran grinned and hugged Li Xu's arm.
"You kid ......" Li Xu poked Li Junran's smooth forehead angrily, although he didn't quite understand how Li Junran did it and why he did it. But Li Xu believes that his little girl must have her reasons for doing this.
"Uncle, can you see if this wine can be used?" Li Junran handed a small wine jar to Li Zhengyuan. The wine is not a fine wine in a small gourd, but an ordinary sorghum wine bought from the market, but it was distilled and blended by Li Junran. From the original low-degree sorghum roast, which was no more than 10 degrees, it was distilled into a medium-alcohol liquor with at least 24 degrees. Of course, in order to taste better, Li Junran still added some spring water from the manor to it.
Fang Cai inadvertently provoked a demon with a nose more sensitive than Wangwang, which made Li Junran realize that the things produced in his manor, even if they were only the worst wine, were easy to provoke right and wrong. The days of selling himself into slavery in Chengfu made Li Junran understand one thing, for a common man with no foundation, how important it is to be low-key. Pity. Today she was really careless.
Li Zhengyuan, who didn't know that Li Junran was busy reflecting, took the yellow-brown wine jar, pulled out the cork on it, and a rich aroma of wine came to his nose. Li Zhengming, who was standing not far away, suddenly lit up: "Good fragrant wine." Liu'er, where did you get this wine? ”
"This? Sister Xuelian gave it. Obviously, Li Junran didn't want to explain more. It is said that one lie takes ten lies to complete, and not a single one of them is wrong.
"This wine should work." Li Zhengyuan does not drink alcohol because he is still young. But this does not affect his ability to appreciate wine, especially fine wines.
"Okay, this matter is wrapped up in the uncle." Li Zhengyuan reached out and pinched Li Junran's little cheeks, which looked obviously thin, but were actually still fleshy.
"Thank you, uncle."
"Girl Liu, if you really want to thank Uncle Xie. Why don't you get some of these again? Put it in the grocery store of Uncle and sell it. ”
"I'll have to ask Sister Xuelian about this. Because the recipe is hers. ”
"That's fine. Uncle is not in a hurry here. ”
After a simple lunch, Li Zhengyuan knew that his eldest brother and sister-in-law planned to go to see Li Junyang, so he packed a few dishes that had not moved much at noon and packed a food box. Let Li Zhengming bring it to Li Junyang. Li Zhengming did not refuse. Bring the food box. took Li Xu and Li Junran to the side gate of Bailu Academy.
The flowers bloom in two, one on each branch. Just as Li Xu's frightened begged Cheng Zhang's noble hand in Cheng Mansion to allow the little girl to get rid of slavery, Li Junyang, who was studying hard in Bailu Academy, was also like a stab on the stool. Ants in one's pants. A few days ago, Li Junran knew that today was the day when his little sister was ready to leave Chengfu, and for this reason, his state was not very good all morning.
Li Junyang, who has grown up a few years later, will not be so unsettled even if the sky falls. But at this time, he hasn't grown up yet, although because of those encounters since childhood, Li Junyang is earlier and wiser than children of the same age, to put it bluntly, he is still only a child who is only eight years old and less than nine years old.
The great Confucian who enlightened Li Junran, surnamed Shen, although he looks like an old naughty boy on weekdays, he is still as strict as he is in his studies for decades. Especially for Li Junyang, a student who can be regarded as his closed disciple, there are even more expectations. Seeing that Li Junyang had only lasted for just two months, he showed signs of burnout, and he had never seen the three souls and six spirits return to his place in the morning, and it would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.
Even Shen Daru knew that in the past two months, the homework he had assigned to Li Junyang had been really heavy, but Shen Daru still decided to do so. First, Li Junyang has turned eight years old this year, almost nine years old. According to the children of the powerful families on the side of the Apocalypse Dynasty, they began to enlighten at the age of three or four, which was many years later than them. Moreover, Shen Daru also wanted to use this to stimulate Li Junyang's potential.
In just two months, Li Junyang has indeed made great progress, who would have thought that he would slack off after holding on for more than sixty days. Shen Daru's face was inevitably a little ugly.
Since he was a child, Li Junyang, who has begged for a living in the hands of Li Xiaofeng, the fourth room of the Li family, learned to observe words and emotions early. At this time, seeing that his mentor Shen Daru's face was faintly displeased, Li Junyang hurriedly got up to confess and explained the reason to Xu Daru.
Xu Daru is not a stubborn and thoughtful person, and after patiently listening to Li Junyang's explanation, he only briefly nodded around "honor and disgrace". Li Junyang suddenly felt like an initiation, and suddenly came to his senses. After sitting back in his seat, he no longer bothered about his little sister's escape from slavery, and even memorized the text more seriously than in the previous days.
Xu Daru was very relieved to see this. In fact, as early as that day, Li Junyang was selected from many candidates, and Xu Daru made people investigate Li Junyang's background. This kind of thing is very common in the Apocalypse Dynasty.
When the imperial court held the imperial examination to select talents, it would also carefully review all the scholars who participated in the imperial examination. For example, those whose ancestors were slaves and those who were born as merchants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination within three generations. As for Xiao Qiliu, he signed a living deed, and he is a daughter's family, so he can barely play a side game. As long as no one reports it, Li Junran's children and grandchildren can still participate in the imperial examination in the future.
It doesn't matter if Xu Daru asked people to investigate like this, the eighteenth generation of Li Junyang's ancestors has been investigated clearly, and naturally he knows what happened two years ago. For Li Qiliu, Li Junyang's younger sister, she knew filial piety and knew how to feed back at a young age, which can be described as affectionate and righteous. made Xu Daru very impressed.
There is something that Li Junyang doesn't know. Xu Daru originally planned to wait a few days, and before his little disciple was ready to take the county exam, he thought of a way to let Li Qiliu return to his free body. First, it is naturally for his own little disciples. His own junior disciple is going to take a career in the future, so he shouldn't have such a big mistake or flaw to his opponent. Xu Daru, who was once the emperor's teacher, naturally knew that the conduct of this official was very important. Moreover, a little girl like Xiao Qiliu is really worth a hand.
As for Li Junyang's grandfather and uncles and brothers, that is, the Li family's four rooms up and down, Xu Daru felt that it was a pity to deal with it like this now. A good whetstone because Li Zhengming was born in the ancestral family of the seventh uncle next to the Li family, and this effect was greatly discounted, which made Xu Daru not so satisfied. However, according to the information from the investigation, Xu Daru believes that it is impossible to let go of his little disciple's family in terms of the character of the Li family's four rooms. Thinking of this, I just made do with it, stood still on the side, and didn't do anything......
The time was approaching noon in a blink of an eye, and Xu Daru quickly finished explaining the morning class. (To be continued......)
