Xing Feng knew that his father had never been very close to the powerful, and at the same time he didn't like him to get too close to this kind of person, but he didn't want to lie in front of his father, so he had to answer honestly with some uneasiness in his tone: "The child only has a few sides with them, if the father doesn't like it, the child will avoid them in the future." ”

"They live across the street from our house, how can you stay away from them?" Xing Laohan threw the face towel to Xing Feng and walked towards the house by himself. He was stunned when he saw Xing Feng scooping up his face towel, and said, "Come in." ”

Xingfeng hurriedly followed, and prepared for the worst, ready to accept his father's punishment. Unexpectedly, when he entered the house, he saw that his father did not scoop the belt or rattan, but opened the wardrobe, took out a suitcase from it, rummaged through the suitcase twice, and brought out a small box from a pile of old clothes that had not been worn for a long time.

Xing Laohan didn't open the box immediately, but patted the box and said to Xing Feng: "Do you think that I don't like the powerful people very much, so I don't allow you to get close to them?" ”

Xing Feng didn't understand what other intentions were in his father's words, so he could only nod honestly.

Xing Laohan smiled and said: "Dad is not such a blind and cynical person, people in any position have good people and shameless people. In the past, Dad didn't have so much time to distinguish, and he was afraid that you would follow the wrong person and go astray, so it would make you think that I hated them. ”

He paused at this point, sighed and then said: "Then again, with this little background of our family, no name, no wealth, no power, even if you are shy to slap others, it is not necessary that others will buy your account!" Daddy is just your son, and he expects you to be promising, but he doesn't want you to lose your backbone before you can promising. ”

It was the first time that Xing Feng had heard so many words from his father and himself, and he listened quietly and seriously word by word, but there was uncontrollable apprehension in his heart, and he secretly wondered if something was going to happen today.

After Xing Laohan finished speaking, he put the small box in his hand on the ground, and then sat on the side of the small box. He took off the leather boot on his right foot, poured a small key from it, and opened the iron lock on the box.

Under Xing Feng's attention, Xing Laohan opened the box, and in front of a box full of copper coins and broken silver, Xing Feng's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, and he lost his voice: "Dad, where did you get so much money?" ”

"From the patterned tiger on the hill to the green-skinned fish in the stream, Lao Tzu has been busy for more than ten years, in addition to pooling money to marry your mother into the door, he has saved this box of your tuition." Xing Laohan thought of his wife who died early, and the look in his eyes couldn't help but be gloomy.

He threw aside the key to unlocking, and then still sat on the ground, but slowly flattened his originally bent legs, and then said: "It wasn't so troublesome, but I was afraid that you would accidentally find out and scoop it out, so I added a lock, and now I finally don't need to lock it." ”

Xing Feng hadn't come back to his senses yet, and said a little stupidly: "Learn...... Tuition? ”

Seeing this, Xing Laohan leaned closer, stretched out his hand and patted Xing Feng's face, and then said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has left you at home for more than ten years, you won't treat your brain badly, right?" ”

Xing Feng rubbed his eyes, and suddenly said, "Could it be that I can read?" ”

Xing Laohan nodded, and then said with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Dad wants you to study, take the imperial examination, and enter the official career." ”

Xing Feng's face was stunned when he heard this, and then he said with a somewhat aggrieved expression: "Dad, you are not the most annoying......

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xing Laohan say loudly: "Did you take what I just said as the wind blowing the pinna of the ear without a trace?" I'll repeat, you listen, my dad wants you to study, take the imperial examination, and enter the official career. ”

Xing Laohan suddenly untied the belt around his waist, shrugged his shoulders and took off his shirt, revealing his entire upper body. In an instant, all kinds of dazzling scars on the upper half of his ** body were exposed. The wrinkled or bruised texture made his body look ugly and hideous, but it made Xingfeng lose his voice in surprise, and his brain roared, and then the tears in his eyes rolled down his cheeks like a bank without warning.

Xing Laohan pressed Xing Feng's slightly trembling shoulders, stared into his eyes, and threw out word by word like hammering iron: "Remember the scars on Lao Tzu's body, and give me a good study." Daddy doesn't want you to live like this. ”

Xing Feng blinked vigorously, squeezing the tears from his eyes, and then nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Xing Laohan finally showed a satisfied smile in his eyes. He put on his clothes, and while tightening the belt around his waist, he changed the topic sharply: "The scribe sitting in the carriage is the master of the big mansion opposite our house, he is the gentleman of the 'Lizheng Academy' in the county, you should find an opportunity to ask him more after you enter the school." ”

Xing Feng said with some concern: "Dad, do you want me to study in the 'Lizheng Academy'?" It's very expensive there, and there are still quite a few sons of families studying in it, I'm afraid ......"

"Money matters, with a father, you don't have to worry." Xing Laohan patted Xing Feng's shoulder lovingly, and then said in a soft tone: "Let you study with them, maybe there will be many places that will wronged you." But you have to remember that being in a chaotic situation without distorting your mind is also a kung fu, like in a storm? p>

Xing Feng didn't understand all of his father's words, but he carefully wrote down every word of his father in his heart, and then nodded seriously and said, "The child remembers." ”——

On the green brick street of the county seat, a gray carriage came, but the car drove into the county seat, and stopped after going far after getting on the green brick street.

Lin Shan took Mo Ye's hand and got off the carriage, and ordered Ma An to drive the carriage to the county's special shed for temporarily parking horses and riding vehicles to rest, while he himself led Mo Ye to walk slowly on the green brick paved street.

The carriage stopped when it entered the county, which is what Lin Shan has always insisted on. After all, the county seat is so big, and the streets are only so wide, if you drive through the street, it is too attention-grabbing, and Lin Shan came to this place to live temporarily, and the most important thing in his heart is to hide his identity.

Now Lin Shan led Mo Ye to the county seat and had the intention of relaxing. In recent years, there were more vendors on both sides of the street than usual, so Lin Shan deliberately slowed down. However, Mo Ye beside him seemed to have something in his heart, but he habitually slowed down with Lin Shan, but his eyes were only staring at the square inch in front of him, and he was not much interested in watching the various shops on both sides of the street.

Seeing this, Lin Shan couldn't help but ask, "Do you still mind that child named Xingfeng alienating you?" ”

Mo Ye nodded silently.

Lin Shan smiled and said: "If you have a knot in your heart, you have to untie it, but if you have been so sad, it will not help you to untie the knot." ”

Mo Ye was silent for a moment and then spoke: "Then Ye'er doesn't want to." ”

"If you don't want to do it now, you will still be tempted to think about it after a while, it will still be useless for yourself." Lin Shan picked up Mo Ye, and watched a chai man beside him laboriously pull a cart full of charcoal to pass by, but he didn't put Mo Ye down immediately, but just hugged Mo Ye like that, and said warmly: "If Ye'er can't solve it, let the master help." ”

As soon as Lin Shan finished, he saw Mo Ye's eyes light up and said, "Master will really help Ye'er?" ”

Lin Shan looked at the pair of star-like eyes that were close at hand and nodded.

Mo Ye squinted and laughed happily, but she immediately remembered something, opened her eyes and said seriously: "But Master is usually very busy, and you have to do this little thing, isn't it too troublesome?" ”

"You know it's a trifle." Lin Shan gently scratched the tip of Mo Ye's nose, and said, "Since it is a trivial matter, it will not be troublesome, and you will be happy because of it, so the master will not lose." ”

Mo Ye finally felt at ease, she didn't know how to express her gratitude, she was about to bow her head and rub a few handfuls on Lin Shan's body, but when she saw Lin Shan put her on the ground, she was stunned and had to grab Lin Shan's sleeve and rub it.

Lin Shan took Mo Ye through two streets, came to a teahouse, and went up to the second floor. He asked for a small room by the window, ordered a pot of autumn green, and then leaned against the window and looked out of the window quietly.

At this time, it is the middle of winter, and no matter how good the spring tea is, it can be regarded as old tea at this time, so the autumn tea in the teahouse sells better than the spring tea, and the most favorite of the tea lovers in the county among the various autumn teas in the teahouse is 'Qiuqing'.

Although the name of Qiuqing is a little less elegant, the amount of soup is only half of that of spring tea, and it is generally cooked three times to taste, but its taste is lighter than summer tea, and it is a little less astringent than spring tea.

And this teahouse also arranges a set of special services for their signature tea in winter. Tea lovers who have called Qiuqing can go up to the second floor to choose a small room for their quiet taste. Therefore, in winter, Qiuqing has also become the first choice for friends who come to the teahouse to chat.

Mo Ye, who just loves sweets and has to drink a bowl of bitter and fishy medicinal soup every day, has no interest in this literati's favorite and expensive Qiuqing tea soup.

She also didn't understand why Master had brought her to the teahouse. In the past, if the master took her to the county seat to play, she would go to the tavern restaurant for dinner, but now although there are snacks with tea on the table in front of her, she can't eat on behalf of her after all, and she only came out after eating. So although it was the first time to come to a place like a teahouse, Mo Ye's novelty and excitement in his heart were not high.

The tea and snacks on the table on her side were not moved, Mo Ye scooped the rock sugar gourd she bought on the street, bit off the last one, and then puffed out half of her cheeks to Lin Shan's side, and looked out the window curiously following Lin Shan's gaze, she wanted to know what Lin Shan had been looking at-

ps: The colleges and universities will start in a few days, so I feel that the title of this chapter is so subtle.
