Chapter 287: Asking for Papers!
"Alas, it seems that this telegraph will have to continue testing tomorrow! But I think there shouldn't be much of a problem, and then I can chat happily with Yu Xi's little cutie! ”
After sending Yan Shaoning away, Li Zexuan looked at the sky and thought regretfully.
"Young Master, are you still living in the workshop today? I heard that the old lady misses you a lot! ”
After Xiao Xi put away the tea cup on the table, he came to Li Zexuan's side and asked.
In fact, she didn't want her young master to go home so soon, because she spent more time alone with Li Zexuan here, but Xiaoxi had always stayed by Mrs. Li's side before, so naturally she didn't want to see Mrs. Li unhappy.
"Oh~, my mother!"
Li Zexuan was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "That's okay, anyway, the telegraph here is almost done, let's clean it up and go back today!" ”
Judging from today's test results, this first telegraph should be able to meet the "talk" needs between him and Han Yuxi, because the distance from Li Mansion to Hanjiazhuang is about more than 20 miles, but that is only the distance, in terms of straight-line distance alone, it is only about fifteen miles, and the farthest effective distance tested today is eleven miles, if nothing else, this telegraph should be able to meet the standard.
As for Li Er's request
"Hehe, the young master waits, Xiaoxi will clean up."
"Well, then there you go! I'm going to get the telegraph to the wagon. ”
Li Zexuan answered, and hurriedly went into the house to move the telegraph.
...................
After the two cleaned up, Li Zexuan asked Song Xiaosi to drive the carriage to Yongle Fang, and as for Sanbao, he had already been sent back to the Li Mansion.
After a while, he arrived home, and his own subordinates came to help move things, Li Zexuan thought about it, and planned to go to the East Courtyard to say hello to his wife, after all, he had been away from home for so many days. Who knows, but he was stopped by the porter Ah Fu.
"Young master, the master is in the front hall, and just now a gentleman from the country eunuch came to our house."
"Oh~? Which sir? ”
Li Zexuan paused and asked.
"Back to the young master, I don't know about this little one, but it seems that this person should be very familiar with the master."
Ah Fu scratched his head and said.
Could it be Xu Hongzhi?
When Li Zexuan heard him say this, he reacted, and secretly said that Xu Hongzhi was not good at class, what did he do when he went to their house?
"Oh, okay, I know, you go down!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand and walked towards the front hall.
................
Walking into the main hall, Li Zexuan looked at it, and the person who came was indeed Xu Hongzhi.
"Dad, the child is back, hey, Mr. Xu, you're here too!"
Li Zexuan greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Heh~! You kid still knows to come back, remember to talk to your mother for a while, she misses you! ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Jingmo's eyes, and he pointed at Li Zexuan and scolded with a smile.
"Yes, Daddy! The child will go in a moment! ”
Li Zexuan's heart is slightly warm, this is family affection, this is the feeling of home! No matter how far or near you are from home, there are people thinking of you!
Hey, now that the telegraph has also been made, let's stay at home with the second elder in the future! As for Li Er's request to further promote the application of telegraph in the army, to hell with it! Whoever loves to study and who studies goes, and it is not uncommon not to give Lao Tzu a knighthood!
Almost instantly, Li Zexuan made a decision.
"Li Siye, Xu came to look for you today, but when I came to the Li Mansion, I learned that you were not at home, and I planned to go to the workshop to look for you in a while, but I didn't expect you to come back so coincidentally!"
Xu Hongzhi got up and arched his hand, and said politely.
The master is the teacher, and he is blessed in his heart for Li Zexuan's attainments in arithmetic.
"Haha, Mr. Xu, you're welcome, sit down! Have a seat! I don't know what happened when Mr. Xu came to find the kid today? Could it be that there are students in the arithmetic hall who are disobedient? If that's the case, just say, I'll clean them up myself!" ”
Li Zexuan's first reaction was that there were naughty ghosts in the school hall who took advantage of his absence to do things, after all, none of these second-generation officials were fuel-efficient lamps.
"Uh, no, no!"
Xu Hongzhi had a black line on his face, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The old man came here today to remind Li Siye that your current grounding period is about to arrive, you must remember to return to China in time to give a lecture!" ”
Xu Hongzhi is not in the court, and he doesn't know that Li Zexuan was temporarily lifted a few days ago, otherwise, he would have come over a long time ago.
"Huh~? Seven days are coming to an end so soon? ”
Li Zexuan was a little dumbfounded, he thought that he would be able to have a pleasant holiday in the past seven days, but he was fooled by Li Erhu, and he was busy for four or five days.
Xu Hongzhi almost vomited blood when he heard this, and some people thought that the grounding period was too short!
"Ahem, don't play with treasures! Have a good talk to Mr. Xu! ”
Li Jingmo was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he was suddenly choked, and he glared at his son fiercely, and he didn't have a good breath.
"Uh, okay, Dad!"
Li Zexuan said.
"Li Siye, according to the previous arrangement, the day after tomorrow should be the monthly exam of the Mathematics Academy, I wonder if you have prepared the test questions in advance?"
Xu Hongzhi saw Li Zexuan's unobtrusive temperament, and felt that it was necessary to ask in person, so as not to be killed by the pit.
"Well, this... Well... Exam questions~~ I have prepared the test questions! Mr. Xu doesn't have to worry, there will definitely be no accidents at that time! It just so happens that my lockdown period will pass the day after tomorrow, and I will personally proctor the exam then! ”
Li Zexuan was panicked by Xu Hongzhi's question, and then he thought of such a thing, he felt that two pairs of eyes were staring at him "tiger-eyed", and hurriedly said blindly. As for whether the test questions came out or not, only he knew in his heart.
Xu Hongzhi glanced at Li Zexuan suspiciously, but he didn't say anything, anyway, no matter what the facts were, he had already reminded him, and he couldn't blame him for not having a test paper during the exam.
"In this case, the old man will leave, Brother Jingmo, take care!"
Xu Hongzhi paused and said goodbye to Li Jingmo and his son.
"Hehe, then Mr. Xu go slowly!"
.....................
Sending Xu Hongzhi away, Li Zexuan honestly went to greet his mother, Mrs. Li inevitably pulled her son again, and chattered warmly for a long time, what "I haven't seen you for a few days, I have suffered it again, I am haggard, and so on", although Li Zexuan was moved in his heart, he couldn't stand this fierce mother's love offensive, he found an excuse and took the opportunity to run away.
After dinner, Li Zexuan went straight back to his study in the West Courtyard and began to "make up homework" hard, Xu Hongzhi didn't come to remind him today, he really forgot about the monthly exam the day after tomorrow, although he could deceive Xu Hongzhi for a while, but he couldn't deceive him for a lifetime! The test papers, they still have to come out, and Li Zexuan still has this in his heart, not to mention, he himself also attaches great importance to the first monthly exam.
