Li Daguang was really embarrassed, and he was actually seen by the three juniors when he visited the brothel, but fortunately he didn't have a wife, so he didn't have to worry about being pulled by his ears to kneel down and calculate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Yanqing sent Li Er and Li San back first, he still had something to ask the fourth uncle.
"The fourth uncle is here to listen to a tune, I like to listen to music, hehe!"
Li Daguang explained humbly, and he suddenly felt redundant, what does a six-year-old kid know.
"Qing'er, how is the first day of school today? That Yao Lao Niu'er is very strict! ”
"Fourth uncle, I have something I want to ask you."
"What's the matter?"
Li Yanqing asked softly, "What did my father do before..... Is it an unseemly thing? ”
He couldn't forget the undisguised contempt in Master Yao's eyes when his father's name was mentioned.
"Why do you ask this, has someone said anything?" Li Daguang glanced at Li Yanqing very sensitively.
"I'm his son, so I want to find out."
Li Daguang hesitated for a long time and said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't say it, but sooner or later you will know that your father.... Ay! One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds! ”
Li Daguang let out a long sigh and told Li Yanqing about the past.
"Your father was the pride of the family, seven years ago he was admitted to the Xiangzhou Liberation Examination, the first place in high school, and married your mother that year, which can be described as a double happiness, at that time he was often a guest in the county, and the second year he entered Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, although he did not pass the exam, but he also won the appreciation of the examiner, let him review well, and prepare to enter Beijing next time to catch the exam."
"And then?"
"Then there was an incident five years ago, your father couldn't hinder the face of the county, and went to Cizhou for his nephew to participate in the liberation test, as if they looked quite alike, but your father was still recognized, and since then he has never recovered, and his reputation has been removed, and he will never be allowed to participate in the imperial examination again, and he has become a shame for the family, and the joke of Tangyin County is called Li Knife behind his back, he is drunk and crazy at home every day, and his ancestral land is also sold, and the family is destitute, and your mother is also worried about becoming ill, and she can't afford to be sick, and she died the next year, and your father is very remorseful for this, In order to atone for your sins, you will not hesitate to bury your mother with a huge debt. ”
Li Yanqing couldn't say a word for a while, he and his father had the same fate, in the dark, could this be the creator's deliberate arrangement?
Li Daguang patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "You should understand now!" Why did your father desperately save money for you to study, why did he have to ask you to participate in the imperial examination, you are his only hope, only you can wash away the shame on him for him, otherwise he will not be able to raise his head in this life. ”
"Thank you, fourth uncle, little nephew.... Go first. Li Yanqing felt uncomfortable, turned around and left.
Li Daguang looked at Li Yanqing walking away, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, Daqi has been recorded by the state government, if the record is not erased, even Qing'er will be implicated in the future, Daqi thought that the government would forget after a long time, how can it be so simple, Daqi will forget it in this life, but it's a pity that Qing'er is a smart child.
.......
Li Yanqing went home as heavy as a lead bucket in his heart, he didn't have any feelings, his mind was blank, he didn't even know how he came back, and he forgot when Li Daguang broke up with him.
Walking to the door of the house, the courtyard gate was still there, but the home was gone, only a mud wall was left, Li Yanqing stood in a daze for a long time, and he didn't react to what was going on.
At this time, Dahei, who was looking for something in the ruins, saw the little master, and immediately rushed to the master like a gust of wind, and screamed in a hurry, as if telling the master that their home was gone.
Li Yanqing finally woke up from his ignorance at this time, their family was going to build a new brick house, and he should go to Aunt Hu's house next door.
Looking at Da Hei's aggrieved eyes, Li Yanqing hugged it tightly with a smile, and took it to the house next door to Aunt Hu's house.
That night, Li Yanqing had a dream that he had become his father, and his father in the Song Dynasty had become his son, also named Li Daqi, who was severely reprimanded by himself for his classmates' exams.
Li Yanqing suddenly woke up from his dream, he looked at the roof in a daze, reminisced about his dream, and felt the mystery of the blending of fate of thousands of years of life, until the rooster crowed, he didn't fall asleep.

The first shop on East Street is a bookstore, called Shilinyuan, which is actually a bookstore, but the front shop is the back shop, the front is the bookstore, and the back is the printing workshop and the place where the book is copied.
Although the printing technology of the Song Dynasty has been very developed, but the book copying industry has not died out, some private book collections still like to ask people to copy, Li Daqi is here to do things, his writing is very beautiful, the store will ask him to copy books for others, Li Daqi's engraving is also good, occasionally will also engrave some engraving, although movable type printing has been invented, but because of typesetting, beauty and other reasons, did not replace the engraving.

Today happened to be the proprietor of Shilinyuan to inspect the bookstore in Tangyin County, so the shopkeeper and the guys of the bookstore were very busy, and they got up early in the morning to clean the bookstore.
The proprietor's surname is Yang, a young man in his early thirties, very shrewd and capable, who has just inherited his father's business for only two or three years, and is ambitious, bent on making Shilinyuan the largest bookstore in the dynasty.
At this time, in the shopkeeper's room on the second floor, Shopkeeper Luo was reporting to the young proprietor on his performance in recent months, but he soon found that the proprietor was not listening to his report, but reading a book manuscript, and he was a little fascinated by it.
The shopkeeper Luo then remembered that the manuscript was given to him by Li Daqi yesterday, saying that it was written by his son, please help yourself to see, the owner is coming in the past two days, he is busy preparing all kinds of welcome matters, so he threw the manuscript aside, and said that the six-year-old child wrote something, he was not interested, but he did not expect the manuscript to be seen by the owner.
Shopkeeper Luo stopped the report awkwardly, and waited for a while, but the proprietor did not stop, but looked even more confused.
At this time, a man came up and whispered, "Shopkeeper, the tavern has brought the food, do you want to invite the proprietor down?" ”
"Nonsense, bring the food!"
The man hurriedly went down, and in a moment brought the food up and put it on the table.
Shopkeeper Luo said with a smile: "Proprietor, you can eat first!" ”
"Hmmm! Put it there, I'll eat it later. ”
Shopkeeper Luo had no choice but to close the door and retreat, but he walked downstairs but didn't see Li Daqi, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Daqi?" ”
"Li Daqi went back, and someone from the same village came to look for him, just left!"
"It's going to be bad!"
Shopkeeper Luo stomped his feet and chased out, only to see that Li Daqi had already walked a long way, and he shouted while chasing: "Daqi!" Wait a minute. ”
Li Daqi was not worried about his son at home, and was about to go back with his neighbor Hu Sheng, when he heard someone calling him from behind, Li Daqi turned around and saw that it was the shopkeeper, and quickly stopped.
Shopkeeper Luo panted and ran forward, breathless and said, "Daqi, wait a minute, don't rush back." ”
"Shopkeeper Luo, I've finished copying that book, and I'll put it on your desk."
"I know! It's not your business, it's .... That book written by your son seems to be very good, let's talk about it again, and it's not too late to go back tomorrow. ”
Hu Sheng next to him smiled: "Just stay!" Brother Qing has my mother to take care of it, no problem. ”
Li Daqi couldn't help but give face to Shopkeeper Luo, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay!" I'll go back tomorrow. ”
Shopkeeper Luo pulled him back, and as soon as he entered the store, the guy greeted him in a panic: "Shopkeeper, the proprietor is looking for you!" ”
Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly said to Li Daqi: "You wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”
Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly went up to the second floor, pushed open the door, and saw that the food had not moved at all, and the proprietor was still looking through the manuscript, he stepped forward and said cautiously: "Is the proprietor looking for me?" ”
"Who wrote this?" Yang Dongzhu raised the manuscript in his hand and asked.
"This was written by the son of a copyist here, and I just brought it yesterday, and I haven't had time to read it yet!"
"Is there anything else in the back?" Yang Dongzhu asked anxiously.
"I don't know, or I'll ask."
"Invite this scribe to me, what a good book! Almost missed. ”
Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly turned around and ran downstairs, he was very glad in his heart, fortunately he chased the big weapon back, otherwise things would be in trouble, he had never seen the proprietor boast about a book like this.
