The birdsong in the early morning woke up Li Qing, he was lying on the snow-white bed, slightly opened his red and swollen eyes, yesterday he fought with the mad dog, almost was bitten, and the housekeeper brought people to come, only to beat the dog to death, and then he persuaded the housekeeper to kill the dogs in the house one by one, as long as there is a mad dog, this whole day to bite and fight, how can it not be infected, although I don't understand what rabies is, but was bitten to death by a mad dog, this is common sense.

He was busy until midnight, and he fell asleep, but he thought about it for a long time, he couldn't make any glass and cement, but he knew some common sense, could he make a fortune from them? I tossed until the third watch, but I still didn't have a clue, and then I fell asleep.

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the yard, it was Xiaoyu who got up, thinking of this maid, Li Qing couldn't help but have a little respect, yesterday the vicious dog bit his clothes, and saw that he was about to bite his arm, this girl rushed up without fear, hit the dog's head with a broom, and even poked its eyes with a bamboo strip, this weak woman broke out, it was so brave.

He was embarrassed to lie in bed, and he had to go to see Mr. today! Li Qing pushed open the window, and a piece of golden sunlight poured in. As soon as the sun emerged from the eastern mountains, it shot out a golden light, as if laughing loudly, defying the fragility of the light mist, and there was not a trace of cloud in the blue sky, showing its depth and boundlessness.

Li Qing took a deep breath, the air was cold and fresh, and when the small courtyard door was pushed open, he saw a sweet smiling face. "Morning! Light rain. Looking at this smiling face, Li Qing's mood became extremely relaxed and wonderful.

"Morning! Childe "She walked into the room quickly, took out a few plates of fine points from the food box, and quickly brought out a bowl of thick stem rice porridge, which may be extremely hot, she put down the bowl and blew her hand.

Li Qing looked at the fine points, one plate was osmanthus sponge cake, the other plate was crystal dumplings, exquisite, all kind, and a dish of salted bamboo shoots.

"You can sit down and eat together!" Li Qing pulled a chair and asked her to sit down.

"No! I'll eat later. Xiaoyu was startled, and waved her hand again and again, although after yesterday's incident, the two have become much closer, but she is a maid, and her identity is very different, how can she eat at the same table with the master.

"I know you have strict rules, but I'm not one of your Xianyufu, what's the matter, you will eat after I eat, and you have to clean up your things, this is wordy, and time is gone."

But Xiaoyu just shook her head and smiled, refusing to sit down, Li Qing saw that she repeatedly persuaded her not to move, her face was a little unbearable, and she slapped the table and said angrily: "Isn't it useless for me to talk at all?" If you don't sit down again, I'll call the butler someone else. ”

Xiaoyu was helpless, so she sat next to the chair, took out a small bowl from the food box, scooped up some porridge, picked up a piece of muffin cake, put it in her mouth and bit it carefully.

Li Qing was overjoyed and said: "That's right, let's eat lunch and dinner together in the future, I don't like to eat the most, someone is watching from the side, it's really uncomfortable!" ”

Xiaoyu didn't respond, still chewing the piece of muffin, her parents are the slaves in this house, according to the Tang Dynasty calendar, she was born as the master's slave, just like the flowers, plants, mountains and stones in the house, just an item, the masters have never regarded her as a person, but this person seems to be a little different, yesterday encountered a vicious dog, but he also used his body to protect himself and block the bite of the vicious dog.

Although she was grateful, it was the first time she had eaten at the same table with the people she was serving when she was fourteen years old, and she was more worried and uncomfortable, which really made her restless, and where else did she have the heart to eat.

"I'm done!"

She became more and more frightened, feeling that she was deviating from the norm and violating the rules of the master's house, if she was seen by the housekeeper and returned, she would no longer have the heart to eat, so she lowered her head and hurriedly ran out, Li Qing looked at her back in surprise, the bowl of white porridge on the table was still untouched, and she suddenly felt that she was really a little Meng Lang.

After breakfast, Li Qing cleaned up and went to the library, passing by yesterday, I still remember the place, just near the building I heard an old voice: "Or say: repay grievances with virtue, what?" Zi said: How to repay virtue? Complain directly, repay virtue with virtue......"

Then a clear children's voice came: "Or say: repay grievances with virtue, what is it?" Zi said: How to repay virtue? Complain straightly, repay virtue with virtue"

Li Qing was extremely surprised, he was still thinking about these words a few days ago, but it happened that he heard it today, walked through the window, he looked in, this is Xian Yu's private school, the children of the main sect clan, but there are also some children with foreign surnames to borrow and study, Xian Yu brothers are quite Meng taste, as long as they are willing to come to learn, no matter rich or poor, they will all take them in.

The person who presided over the private study was an old gentleman surnamed Yan, who was born in a person, had excellent learning, and was a native of his hometown, so he was hired by the Xianyu brothers to be a gentleman and teach a group of children, large and small.

Although Mr. Yan is old, his eyes are excellent, Li Qing is just a probe, and he saw it, he got the news early, there will be two people to study today, one is the grandson of the master, and the other is the grandson's Xixi, of course, he will be demoted to a companion here, he is Xixi.

"You memorize everything you teach in the morning, and then you write a hundred words each."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a complaint below: How long will it take to write a hundred words each?

Mr. Yan's eyes widened: "You must finish writing before class, write one less word, and draw a ring ruler!" He raised the iron ruler in his hand, and the grumbling stopped abruptly, followed by a noisy endorsement.

"You are Zhang Qiu?" Mr. Yan came out of the room and asked with a straight face, this Qiu wanted to take the township exam at the end of the year and came to him for tutoring.

"I'm not Zhang Qiu, I'm his Xixi, surnamed Li Mingqing," Li Qingchang said.

"That's wrong, I'm the Xixi here, you! It's just Zhang Qiu's companion, what about others? Mr. Yan corrected his mistake seriously, and looked back, he was extremely tall, nearly a zhang, and he was thin, like a long bamboo pole, his eyes passed over the top of Li Qing's head, but there was no one behind him.

"I don't know, I don't live with him."

Mr. Yan: "Hmph! Mr. Yan didn't know that Zhang Qiu did get up very early, but he just went to the county to drink flower wine, and this Xinzheng County has a few of his fox friends and dog friends.

"You come with me!"

Mr. Yan took Li Qing to an empty room, ordered him to sit down, pointed to the paper on the table, and said, "Write your name first." ”

Li Qing primary and secondary school have practiced calligraphy in the Children's Palace, and also won the first prize of the city's youth calligraphy, the judges said that his willow body is quite charming, so when he wrote the word 'Li Qing' uprightly, Mr. Yan's eyes showed a trace of surprise, it is no wonder that Liu Gongquan is a late Tang Dynasty, and his hard and thin style is still very rare at this time.

But Mr. Yan's surprise only flashed, and he immediately sat down, straightened up, and asked, "What about your words?" ”

Li Qing replied casually: "I don't have a word yet." ”

"How can a reader do without words, so how about I give you a word?"

Li Qing remembered something and said hurriedly: "Thank you Mr. Yan, but my parents gave me the name Li Qing, but later Mr. changed me to Li Qing." Li Qing was originally called Li Qing, and after he was admitted to university, the police station moved his household registration, and the household registration aunt was dazzled, so she changed his name to Li Qing, and has been used until now.

"The Qing is self-purifying, this Li Qing is not bad, there is no need to change it back, but the word has to be taken according to your parents, en! The sunny one, the sunrise is also, then it is called Yangming, how about it? Li Qing smiled bitterly, he was about to change back to Li Qing, but Mr. refused.

"Thank you, sir!" The word is quite masculine, Li Qing is quite satisfied, and since then, Li Qing is also called Li Yangming.

"Words are a hammer, if you write a good word, no matter what you do in the future, you will benefit a lot." Mr.'s words flashed in Li Qing's ears, but he never expected that his good words would really bring him great help later.

At this time, the sound of reading next door gradually subsided, and there was the laughter and scolding of the children, Li Qing looked at Mr. Yan, thinking that he would get up and shout a few words, but he didn't move at all, only said lightly: "When their hands are swollen at night, they will naturally remember." Suddenly, he stared at Li Qingdao: "You are the same, if you don't finish the homework I left you, I will do it."

Li Qing was stunned, leaned over and replied, "The student knows!" ”

At this point, Li Qing became a student taught by Mr. Yan alone, and he also knew that his ancient literary skills were too thin, so he also studied hard day and night, and after a few months, he was barely able to write a few poems.

It's that Zhang Qiu, only twice, after being beaten by Mr. swollen hands, he will never see him again, Mr. Yan doesn't care, only carefully teaches Li Qing alone, although his foundation is thin, but his talent is extremely high, often able to draw inferences, and even often make surprising words, but Mr. Yan prefers his hard work, only told him that if he can continue to learn like this, he will be able to participate in the township examination at the end of the year, Li Qing is also quite moved, if he can be promoted, then maybe he can also be in the Jinshi, he gradually forgot the original plan to get rich, I started the dream of a career in the imperial examination.
