Chapter 52: Father and Son

"What kind of broken car is this?" Li Sanjian sat in the carriage, his whole body seemed to be about to be turned apart, and the carriage shook so much that Li Sanjian was drowsy.

Li Sanjian returned to Lingshan County to hire a carriage, generally speaking, the speed of the carriage is faster than the ox cart, donkey cart and other vehicles, so the price is much more expensive, but Li Sanjian was lucky, the owner of the carriage was a Qinzhou businessman, just about to return to Qinzhou, so he took Li Sanjian and Shan Kui along the way, but charged Li Sanjian a little travel fee.

"Hehe, the carriages are like this, just get used to it. Is Xiao Langjun from Qinzhou? "The owner of the car is a man surnamed Zhou in his thirties, with a swarthy face and a short stature, and at first glance he looks like a farmer.

The sunshine hours in Lingnan are long, and the local natives are relatively dark-skinned, and fair-skinned people like Li Sanjian are almost outliers.

Li Sanjian was completely dressed as a scholar at this time, and at the same time, his face was like a crown of jade, his appearance was handsome, and his figure was prosperous, so the man surnamed Zhou had a good impression of Li Sanjian, and he took good care of Li Sanjian along the way.

Li Sanjian shook his head when he heard the words and said, "No, I am from Danzhou." ”

"Danzhou people's clan? Is it a Li person? What did Xiao Langjun do when he went to Lingshan County? The man surnamed Zhou asked.

Qiongtai Danzhou is a place where Han, Li and other ethnic groups live together, among which the Li people are the mainstay, so the man surnamed Zhou has this question.

Li Sanjian glanced at the man surnamed Zhou, and looked surprised when he looked at him, isn't it Li Ren? As for it? Li Sanjian was secretly a little angry in his heart.

However, Li Sanjian didn't show an angry look on his face, and just replied lightly: "I am a Li person, and I am a native of Li, and I went to Lingshan County just to study." ”

The ethnic group follows his father, although Li Sanjian's mother is a Li person, but Li Sanjian should be a Han person. Li Sanjian also stated that he was a Han Chinese, but Li Sanjian wanted to call himself a Li person at this time, and Li Sanjian did not feel any shame as a Li person.

"Oh, I see." The man surnamed Zhou glanced at Li Sanjian a few more times, how do you look like a Li person? Li people still have scholars? The man surnamed Zhou muttered secretly in his heart.

In the eyes of the world, the people of Yidi generally have their faces painted with oil paint or tattoos, tattoos, wearing animal skins, wielding large blades...

"It's almost there." The man surnamed Zhou then said, "Huh? Why are there so many people in front? ”

When Li Sanjian heard this, he looked out from the leaky canopy of the car everywhere, and saw hundreds of people gathered near the gate of Lingshan County, among which there were some people wearing official robes.

As the carriage approached the city gate, Li Sanjian finally saw clearly, it turned out that it was Huang Lian, a county school official of Lingshan County, and others were standing at the gate of the city with Lingshan County students, as if they were waiting for someone, including some officials that Li Sanjian didn't know.

Who are they waiting for? Could it be that a member of the imperial court came to inspect? Li Sanjian secretly wondered in his heart.

Li Sanjian hurriedly stopped the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and walked quickly towards Huang Jian and the others. ”

Before Li Sanjian's words fell, suddenly the drums and trumpets in the crowd sounded in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, and many firecrackers were set off at the same time.

Li Sanjian was suddenly taken aback, and he didn't understand what was going on.

"Haha, our Li Xie Yuan is back, don't you want to give a gift?" Huang Jian laughed when he saw Li Sanjian.

"Let's meet Li Sheng and Li Jieyuan." The disciples then saluted in unison.

"Professor Huang... You guys are... Li Sanjian was even more startled, so he asked again and again.

How did they know I was back today? Li Sanjian was puzzled.

"You." Huang Jian smiled and said: "You have fought for the county school, I will go out of the city today to meet Xie Yuan on Guangnan West Road." ”

Li Sanjian ignored Huang Liandao's dissuasion and insisted on participating in the tribute, Huang Lian estimated that Li Sanjian would pass the liberation test without any major problems, but he never expected Li Sanjian to win the championship in one fell swoop, which made Huang Lian and other scholars feel extremely surprised, and at the same time full of joy.

"Come, Han Ren, this is the order of Lingshan County Zhangxian County." Huang Jian then said to Li Sanjian.

"Li Hanren is really only eight buckets tall and five cars of learning, and the official has already heard of it." Zhang Xianling said to Li Sanjian with a smile.

After failing the provincial examination, he came to Lingnan through the recommendation of court officials to be the master of Lingshan County, and then moved to the county order.

Li Sanjian's attempt to win the championship this time will increase the performance of Zhang County Ling a lot, and if Li Sanjian is named on the gold list in the future, then Zhang County Ling may be promoted to the magistrate.

You must know that the county of Song Zhizhi is different from the county order, although it is the first of the same county, but the grade of the county is higher than the county order, and the Yulu is also much higher.

Therefore, Zhang Zhixian is "the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law", the more she looks at it, the happier she becomes, and she smiles happily, and repeatedly orders her subordinates to arrange a banquet to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Li Sanjian.

"The hall is falsely praised, and the apprentice Li San is solid and dare not be." Li Sanjian was so frightened that he hurriedly thanked.

Isn't it just a "high school entrance examination"? As for it? Li Sanjian secretly wondered, Li Sanjian knew about Song Chongxue, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point? It's like a hero... If you don't do well in the exam this time, will these people rush up and beat yourself to death? Li Sanjian suddenly thought.

"Brother, brother... At this moment, Xiao Dou Sprouts and Fu Erniang came over, Xiao Dou Sprouts rushed forward, hugged Li Sanjian's thighs, and rubbed their little faces on Li Sanjian's stomach, which was extremely affectionate.

A year has passed, and the little bean sprouts have grown a lot taller, and they have become more and more well-behaved and cute, just like a porcelain doll, but no matter how fast the little bean sprouts grow, they are not as fast as Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian, who is almost sixteen years old, is already about to catch up with an adult, and he has also grown a lot stronger.

"Mother, why are you here?" Li Sanjian picked up the little bean sprouts, looked at Fu Erniang and asked in surprise.

"Yes ... Be... Fu Erniang saw so many people and many people from the government, so she was a little timid.

"It was invited by the official." Zhang Xianling twisted his beard and smiled.

。。。。。。。。

"The students are about to rush to Beijing, I don't know what Professor Huang has to teach?" After thanking Shien for the banquet, Huang Jian left Li Sanjian alone.

Huang Lian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Jingshi is a place where dragons and tigers leap, and it is also a place where fish and dragons are mixed, you must be careful here." Huang Jian said after pondering for a long time.

Huang Lian did not say a word about the provincial examination.

Huang Lian originally wanted to say something to Li Sanjian about the tribute of the Ministry of Rites, and how to deal with the provincial examination, that is, how to write some articles to be able to pass the imperial examination.

In fact, the method is very simple, that is, the article should be flattering, even flattering, and writing a wonderful essay can cater to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and even be favored by the emperor, so that the chance of passing is of course much greater.

Isn't this the case for the vast majority of those who have passed the imperial examinations?

And if you want to catch up or flatter, it will not work without understanding the situation in the imperial court, and it will never work if you do not know the preferences of the emperor and high-ranking officials. Huang Lian originally wanted to tell Li Sanjian about the situation in the imperial court, but first, Huang Lian was just a scholar and had never stepped into the center of the imperial court, and Lingnan was far away from Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo, so Huang Lian was also hearsay, and he didn't know anything about it.

The second and most crucial thing is that Huang Jian does not want Li Sanjian to become such a person, to become a flattering person who only knows how to flatter.

"Professor Huang, please rest assured, Han Ren has his own plans." Li Sanjian replied respectfully.

。。。。。。。。

"Jian'er, Jian'er... After Li Sanjian returned to the hut, Fu Erniang looked at Li Sanjian, who seemed to have grown taller, with relief, and was so happy that she shed tears.

Two years ago, thirteen-year-old Li Sanjian was still a demented child, ridiculed and looked down upon, Fu Erniang was only left with Li Sanjian at that time, and the life was extremely miserable.

"Jian'er, Jian'er... Fu Erniang gently brushed the messy hair on Li Sanjian's sideburns, and couldn't believe that the current Li Sanjian was the same person as the former Li Sanjian.

"Mother... What are you... Li Sanjian said softly.

"Mother is fine, mother is happy." Fu Erniang cried: "Come, Jian'er, kneel." ”

What? Kneeling again? What does my mother want to do? Am I wrong again? Li Sanjian looked at Fu Erniang in amazement, and kissed her... She won't have a "mother-in-law tattoo", right?

Li Sanjian knows that people in this world like tattoos or tattoos, Li Sanjian doesn't like this, doesn't the tattoo hurt? Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart.

"What are you doing stupidly? Come and get on your knees. Fu Erniang looked at Li Sanjian lovingly and said.

Li Sanjian had no choice but to kneel straight in the hall and look at Fu Erniang blankly.

Fu Erniang then suddenly took out the spirit card of Li Sanjian's father, Li Qing, from the package, put it on the table, and then lit three pillars of incense in a dilapidated incense burner.

"Yuming... Yuming... Fu Erniang cried while worshipping: "Your son has a future, he passed the examination to understand the yuan, and won glory for Li Men... ”

"Mother..." Seeing this, Li Sanjian understood what was going on, so he knelt on the ground and prayed: "Daddy, the child greets Daddy." ”

"Jian'er... Fu Erniang then said with tears in her eyes: "Your father was also a high school Xie Yuan, but unfortunately he didn't have time to take the provincial exam, so he was sent to Lingnan with his father. ”

"Mother... My daddy him.。。?" Li Sanjian then asked.

Li Sanjian never knew why his father Li Qing was sent to Lingnan, and he never knew about Li Qing.

"You're still young, when you grow up, your mother will tell you." Fu Erniang then said.

Where is it small? I've been sensible for a long time... Li Sanjian muttered in his heart.
