Chapter 58 Go to the county seat
Go to the county seat to study, for Lijia Village, is a big thing, there has never been a scholar in the mountain village, not even a Xiucai, now the children of the big officials want to go to the city to study, the whole village people feel that it is a blessing, although there is nothing to do with themselves, but if there is a scholar in the future, for the official, it is to benefit the hometown, the village of all ages and young must follow the light, one person to get the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven, this is the truth.
Although it was not pleasing to see Li Wen, Li Wu and Li Chongjin's three rabbit cubs, the villagers still scraped together some worthless things, and sent a few old villagers with white hair to Li Xian's mansion, which is nostalgia, although Li Xian didn't look down on these tattered things, but he still accepted them with a smile.
The eldest grandson's family lit a rare lamp that night, and also lit two lights, which illuminated the house very brightly.
Zhang cleaned up his son's clothes under the lamp, folded the clean linen clothes one by one, put them in a bag, and carefully put some daily necessities such as pen and ink sundries into it and tied them firmly. But after a while, I opened it again, and I didn't feel at ease to look at it again, and combed the things that had been sorted out one by one, lest I miss something, so after two or three times, I simply took out the needle and thread, and sewed the slightly worn parts of the clothes densely.
The picture of the thin body squinting and stitching under the lamp is like a loving oil painting of licking calves.
But the eldest grandson Hong didn't have time to look, because he was sitting in front of him and blocked it.
"Go to the county seat, don't make trouble, cherish this opportunity, since the master gave you a letter of recommendation, that's very good, maybe the county teacher will make an exception to let you go to the school." The eldest grandson Hong had already told his father and second uncle about the letter, and the eldest grandson Hao was overjoyed, he thought that it must be the bag of rice that played a role: "You have to remember your identity, you are the scholar of the Li family's son, don't overstep, you must be patient in everything, don't be afraid of others looking down on you, as long as you succeed in studying in the future, these are all trivial things." ”
Changsun Hao said seriously, this man who killed and killed on the battlefield was bent on the battlefield, but he didn't stop nagging at the moment, his son can go to a better place to study, which is a big step in the direction of scholars, which makes him determined to get the Changsun family closer to the goal of abandoning martial arts and literature in the generation of Changsun Hong, how to make him unhappy? He was afraid that his son had never been to the county seat and did not know how to be polite, so he was verbose.
He is a martial artist, and he can't read and write, he has never been to the south, and he has been at the border for a long time, and he has not heard of Wei Liaoweng's name, in his opinion, maybe he is a Xiucai similar to Zhou Fuzi--- he has always thought that Zhou Fuzi is just a Xiucai--- Xiucai wrote a letter of recommendation, and the effect may only be to the extent that the county teacher accepts Changsun Hong as a student.
The second uncle, Changsun Jin, was drinking tea boringly on the side in a daze, occasionally glancing at this side, his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, obviously not caring, compared with the busy and nervous performance of the eldest grandson and his wife, it was far from the same.
"Go to the county, don't be homesick, you are twelve years old, you will be thirteen soon, my father and second uncle have been soldiers in the border army for a long time at your age, your grandfather has never taken care of us, you must be as strong as your father!"
"As a scholar, you have to do some chores, it's not as good as being at home, with your parents to take care of you, you should be careful, don't do it badly."
"The county is the seat of state governance, it is the city, Lijia Village can't be compared, and there are many big people, don't provoke right and wrong, be clever in everything, you are grown up now, you should pay attention to it."
"Be respectful to Mr., Master Zhou loves you and can tolerate you, but the master in the county is different, if you make a mistake, you must admit your mistake, don't let people drive you out."
Balabala, Changsun Hong lowered his head as if accepting criticism, nodded vigorously, Changsun Hao basically didn't give him a chance to speak, he was all performing alone.
Tossing and turning, boring.
However, Changsun Hong was not disgusted, on the contrary, he felt very warm.
This is fatherly love and motherly love, no matter what their starting point is, they care about themselves from the bottom of their hearts, and they sincerely want him to be good.
People live in the world, and their parents pull them to grow up, if you really want to say it, no one, even a wife or husband, can compare to the depth and depth of your parents' love for you.
Changsun Hong, who has lived for more than 30 years in later generations, deeply understands this truth, he enjoys listening and watching, so when his serene gaze meets Changsun Hao's eyes that are always a little relieved, Changsun Hao still thinks that his son naively did not understand the meaning of his words.
So he repeated what he had just said.
Balabala, over and over again, boring.
This night, if it weren't for Zhang's reminder to Changsun Hao that his son would get up early tomorrow morning, Changsun Hao would have said an all-nighter, and I don't know if this rough man would have said more in his life tonight.
Entering the bedroom, Changsun Hong thought that the second uncle was going to continue chattering, but Changsun Jin just mentioned: "When you get over there, don't fall behind in practicing martial arts, I'm going to check when I come back, if you're slacking, you just wait for me to whip you!" So he went into the bed and slept.
Lying on the bed, before he was about to fall asleep, the eldest grandson Hong dimly heard the second uncle say again: "In the city, if anyone bullies you, give me a fight back, and if you can't win, come back and tell me, and the second uncle will come out for you!" ”
After a pause, he said again: "Don't be afraid, the second uncle will give you a top." ”
At that moment, although Changsun Hong just said "um", in fact, he was more moved in his heart than getting a letter of recommendation from Master Zhou.
When the first rooster crows in the morning, Zhang's has already prepared breakfast, and the smoke of the cooking stove wafts in the bright sky, driving away the darkness of the night with rice incense, and ushering in the brilliant rising sun on the horizon.
The small village in the mountains woke up in the gloom of late autumn, and soon became lively, and almost every household had people come out, and at dawn, gathered under the big tree at the head of the village.
People are beaming, crowded one after another, while talking, while envious, the village suddenly came out of three to the county to study, okay, although Li Xian Li officials are fierce in taxes on weekdays, but once his family is an official, then it is not a bad thing to do things for his family, follow his family, and in the future, the children will be smart, sent to be an errand boy, mixed with a steward or something, that is also developed.
The sun climbed higher and higher, and gradually jumped to the top of the mountain, the warm sun shone on the earth, dyeing the fallen leaves that blew down with the autumn wind into golden yellow, and a group of people came out of the dirt road in the village.
Walking in front, it was naturally Li Xian's big officials, Baozheng Changsun Hao and Li Yi followed behind, the three of them smiled lovely, and greeted the villagers on the side of the road with fists, while being quite full of joy.
Behind was a carriage, on which three gentlemen dressed in brand-new satin clothes sat vividly, smiling happily, and standing up from time to time to make a fuss, Li Wen and Li Wu's mother sat next to them, and a beautiful woman kept beckoning the three of them to be careful not to fall.
In the back, it is Changsun Hong and a group of followers, Changsun Hong and the dog are carrying a bookcase, mixed in, this time Li Xian has a capital, he has a house in the county, not only cleaned up, but also bought a lot of new furniture, with several long-term workers to serve their sons and wives, even the cook has been brought.
"The dog is not a weapon, and now I go to the county school, which makes the villagers laugh." Li Xian said pretending to be modest, and his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, after all, this is a glorious thing.
Naturally, he didn't know that his precious son had already negotiated with the gunman about the price of writing the manuscript of the article in the future, and he always thought that his sons' ability to test their reputation in the future would not be a problem.
If you know, I don't know what the expression is.
The villagers who sent each other off the roadside looked at the three little bastards who chased chickens and dogs in the village on weekdays, and had mixed feelings.
Everyone cheered, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
The carriage gradually left Lijia Village in the cheers, creaking towards the road leading to the county seat, the villagers behind kept waving, faintly, it seemed that someone was shouting: "Stay a few more years, don't come back if you can't pass the exam." ”
Li Xian did not accompany him because he had other important matters, and it was naturally inconvenient for the eldest grandson's family to follow, so they sent them to the entrance of the village and stopped.
The eldest grandson Hong carried the bookcase on his back, looked back at his parents who had been following him, waved his hand, and took a firm step.
