131. Xiucai III
Lin Xue snorted, as long as the old lady's request was not too much, Lin Xue would generally agree.
The old man took another puff of dry tobacco, looked at Li Feng expectantly and said, "Feng'er, how do you feel about this exam, are you sure that you can pass the exam?" ”
Li Feng stood in front of the old man and said, "Grandpa, I'm still young, and the master said that this time I should use it as a practice and familiarize myself with the examination room, so that I can prepare early when I take the next exam." ”
The old man was a little disappointed, lowered his head and said, "Since the master said so, then you should work hard and strive to get a good ranking next time, Feng'er, you are still young, and there are still many opportunities, whether our Li family can glorify our ancestors in the future depends on your performance." At the end, the old man's tone was a little heavy.
I only heard Li Fu laugh below, and said, "Dad, you also look up to a hairy child too much, Cheng'er was delayed at the beginning, otherwise he would have been a showman now, and the third brother is an elm head, how smart can the child he gave birth to, I think it is blind to send Feng'er to school, it is better to come back and farm early." ”
The fire in Lin Xue's heart suddenly rose, and she walked up to Li Fu with Tianbao in her arms and said, "Big brother, your family Cheng'er didn't get into the exam at the beginning, how can you say that it was delayed, and Feng'er can't do it, let's wait for the results to come out." ”
Li Fu waved his hand and said, "Why haven't I been delayed, if I am as rich as the third brother, I will definitely invite a good master for Cheng'er, hey, Cheng'er is such a smart child, it is all the master's son, and the wrong child." ”
Lin Xue was speechless, her son didn't study well, and he even blamed his master, it was really strange.
"Uncle, the eldest brother didn't get admitted to the show because he didn't work hard, he can't blame the master, I heard that several of my classmates who studied with the eldest brother were admitted to the show." Li Feng is a scholar, so he can't see others slandering his master, not even his elders.
Li Fu lowered his face and said sternly, "What do you know, Cheng'er is so smart, how can it be his problem, other people can be admitted because they bribed the examiner with money, my family Cheng'er has no money, otherwise he would have been a talent long ago." ”
Li Feng still wanted to refute, but was stopped by Lin Xue, reasoning with someone like Li Fu was simply asking for trouble.
Li Fu thought that Li Feng had acquiesced, and felt more and more that he was right, so he moved the stool to the old man and said, "Dad, the matter of honoring the ancestors still depends on Cheng'er, your old man might as well take out a sum of money and let Cheng'er hire a good master, and he will definitely be able to take the exam next year before coming back, and then you will have a light on your old face." ”
The old man glanced at him and said leisurely, "Forget it, Cheng'er's matter has already been spread, it is estimated that he is not even qualified to sign up now, and our Li family does not need to rely on a dishonorable person to support, boss, if you have time, go to the fields more, don't dream there all day." ”
Lin Xue couldn't help but want to applaud, the old man was simply to the point, dealing with people like Li Fu should be like this, and Li Chengdu hadn't read a book for several years, if he was really asked to take the exam, it was estimated that he would only have to hand in a blank paper.
Li Fu was a little stunned by what the old man said, lowered his head and pulled the stool back to its original position and sat down, Li Cheng kept staring when they spoke, after the old man rejected his father's proposal, Li Cheng unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were full of resentment.
"The third child," the old man took out something and handed it to Li Qi, and said, "This is fifty taels of silver tickets, when you split up, the family was poor, and your father didn't give you silver, but now that life is getting better, Dad will make up this money for you, and we will still be a family in the future, and you have to help in time if there is anything." ”
Li Qi was stunned, looking at the silver ticket in the old man's hand, he didn't know whether he should take it or not, why did he suddenly want to make up the silver for them, thought about it, and made up his mind, "Dad, I can't ask for this money, there was no way to separate the family at the beginning, and now that my life with Xiaoxue is getting better, how can I ask for your money again." ”
"It's Dad, the third brother is so rich, then he will take a fancy to this bit of silver, if you really have a lot of money and nowhere to go, then give it to me, a big man doesn't have some silver on him, and he will be laughed at when he goes out." Li Gui said that he was going to take the silver in the old man's hand.
The old man glared at him, opened Li Gui's outstretched hand, and said, "Go aside, I won't give you the silver even if I throw it away." He looked at Li Qi again and said, "Third child, do you still remember that your father didn't save Yunyun, but there was no way at the beginning, Yunyun is my own granddaughter, and I feel distressed when I see her have an accident, third child, don't blame Dad, there is a large family population, and Dad can't just consider one person." ”
Jiang is really old and spicy, and Li Qi's eyes turned red when the old man said it, "Dad, I don't blame you, and Yunyun is fine now, let's not mention those things in the past, Dad, I will always be a son, you can rest assured." ”
The old man patted Li Qi on the shoulder and said with relief, "Okay, let's not mention the past, third child, then you can accept this silver, and it should be for Yunyun, what my grandfather did not do right at the beginning, it should be regarded as compensation." ”
Lin Xue felt that it was not good, although she didn't know what the old man was thinking, but this silver must not be accepted, if it was really to compensate Yunyun, why did you go a few years ago, Lin Xue handed over Tianbao to Yunyun, walked to Li Qi's side, and said to the old man, "Dad, you better put away this money, we are all a family, how can we use silver to compensate, how sad it hurts, only outsiders will use silver to compensate when they do something wrong, you are right, the master." ”
Li Qi felt that he couldn't keep up with Lin Xue's thinking, and replied mechanically, "Yes, Dad, Xiaoxue is right, our family doesn't mention money, and we don't blame you for the fact that Yunyun's matter has passed." ”
The old man sighed, took the silver ticket back, and the Wang family next to him snatched it up, locked it in the cabinet, and muttered, "I said a long time ago that the third child would not want it, and you dead old man still have to give it, it's really boring." ”
The old man glared at her, and said to Lin Xue with a smile, "The third daughter-in-law, bring the children over more in the future, although we are separated, we are still a family, if there is anything, just say something, and my father will definitely help if he can help." ”
"I know my father, and I will often bring my children over in the future." Lin Xue became more and more puzzled, this old man couldn't have taken the wrong medicine, how could he say something inexplicable.
"Third daughter-in-law, I heard that there is a twenty-five-year-old man in your mother's house who hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, hasn't it?" Wang sat on the kang and asked with stunned eyes staring at Lin Xue.
