Chapter 249: The New Year is Approaching
Approaching the end of the year, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, before that, the New Year for Li Gengyun is nothing more than going home for a reunion dinner, blind date, dinner, blind date, and then go back to Hengcheng to work. All along, he has regarded the New Year as an extremely difficult quest, and every time he completes the quest, he hurries out of the house as if fleeing.
But here, Li Gengyun felt for the first time how far-reaching the reunion was, and without the nagging and companionship of his family, he seemed a little lonely.
In terms of the current situation, all the development is advancing according to Li Gengyun's plan, the White Lotus Sect and Hua Teng have temporarily stopped attacking, and Song Qing's side, because Yeluhu entered with Lu Guan's army, Li Gengyun's original plan for them was to avoid its edge, if the army entered, it would be mainly harassed to reduce losses.
Therefore, although most of the cities in Lizhou have been taken by Song Qing and them, they are very simple when they give up, and Yeluhu and Lu Guan's troops are always a beat slower, and when they catch up, Song Qing and they have already left one step in advance, basically in a game of chasing and counter-chasing.
In two days, it will be the New Year, and Yeluhu and Lu Guan, who were played by Song Qing and them, also directly gave up the pursuit and went back to the imperial city, and the army was arranged in Xianyang Pass in Lizhou to prevent Song Qing and them from continuing to make trouble.
Li Gengyun's injuries did not recover quickly, and he had a lot of things to think about these days, and he basically fell asleep in the early hours of the morning every day. Although he doesn't need to go to the early dynasty, he is also well aware of the current situation in Xiangzhou and the situation in the whole territory.
"Mr. Li, Mu Bai begs to see!"
"Let him in!"
"Yes!"
Li Gengyun leaned on the head of the bed, the brazier in the room was still burning, after Zhang Xiaohua opened the door of the room, she let Mu Bai, who was waiting outside the door, in, and she whispered in Mu Bai's ear: "Don't forget to add fire to Mr. Li's brazier!" ”
"Yes!"
Mu Bai nodded respectfully, now in the entire Li Mansion, Li Gengyun is the boss, and this maid Zhang Xiaohua who serves Li Gengyun is like a hostess. After all, after Lin Wanyu left, she was the only one who could enter and leave the Li Mansion at will, although her identity was still a maid, but there were many cases of maids turning regular in history, so most people were very respectful and polite to her.
"Sit down!"
After Li Gengyun saw Mu Bai come in, he also put down the book in his hand and motioned to him to sit down. After Mu Bai entered the house, he closed the door, took the initiative to sit on the edge of the brazier, added a coal, and then walked towards Li Gengyun's window, took a cloth mat, and sat on the ground.
"Student Mu Bai, I've seen the teacher!"
During this time, Mu Bai went to Xiangyang Academy every morning to listen to his father Mu Yang's lectures, and at noon he was in charge of selecting and recruiting talents in Zhaoxian Pavilion. Since he came to Xiangyang, it has lasted for twenty days.
"How is the situation in the Recruiting Pavilion today?"
"There are no first-class scholars today, and there is only one second-class scholar, and three third-class scholars. As for General Zhao's side, there was not much to gain, only one warrior. ”
Now Li Gengyun has completely handed over the affairs of Zhaoxian Pavilion to Mu Bai to be responsible, and the exam questions will be rotated every time. At first, these exam questions were written by Li Gengyun, and later it became that Mu Bai wrote the exam questions and then handed them over to Li Gengyun for revision. This time, Mu Bai also brought tomorrow's exam questions and came to ask Li Gengyun for advice.
Mu Bai handed the paper on which the exam questions were written to Li Gengyun, and said respectfully: "Teacher, this is tomorrow's exam question written by the student, and I hope the teacher will approve it!" ”
"Well, that's good, let's do it according to this topic!"
Li Gengyun glanced at the exam questions, nodded, handed the exam questions back to Mu Bai, and agreed to implement them.
"Yes!"
"Teacher, the day after tomorrow is the New Year. My mother once said that I am a teacher for one day and a father for life, so the student wants to invite the teacher to my house for the New Year the day after tomorrow, I don't know what the teacher thinks? ”
After Mu Bai put away the exam questions, he covered his hands in front of his eyes and asked Li Gengyun for instructions.
"New Year? Reunion Day! Call! Mu Bai's suggestion also aroused a wisp of sadness in Li Gengyun's heart, but he had already figured it out, in Xiangyang, in addition to himself being alone, there were also Guo Feng and Ma Wenlong, who were all alone, so on the New Year, they could invite them to come to the house for a party together.
"It's rare to have a family reunion, and you are also spending the first New Year in Xiangyang, so it's not appropriate for me to go." Li Gengyun still rejected Mu Bai's request, he had already thought about who he wanted to find to celebrate the New Year together, so he said to Mu Bai with a smile, "You have been coming to Xiangyang for more than 20 days, and you have been presiding over the Recruitment Pavilion for nearly ten days. It's been hard for you these days, so spend more time with your family! ”
"Teacher, this ......" Mu Bai was also a little unwilling when he heard Li Gengyun reject his suggestion, and wanted to fight for it, but before he could say anything, he heard Li Gengyun refuse again.
"Needless to say, I have injuries on my body and I have difficulty moving, so I am afraid of causing more trouble. Besides, I've already thought about it, I'll celebrate the New Year with Yuwen and them this year, and I would like to eat something light. Li Gengyun smiled and continued, "Recently, your father's progress in Xiangyang Academy has become more and more successful, and many scholars have become more and more convinced of him. The first batch of first-class scholars has already been assigned to leave Xiangyang and go to various places to accept the main job, and the second batch of first-class scholars will graduate tomorrow. You go back and tell your father that after tomorrow is over, you will have a holiday, the same time as the reopening of the Zhaoxian Pavilion. On the sixth day of the new year, the school will reopen. ”
"However, the reopening of Xiangyang Academy is not as simple as cultivating Zhaoxian Pavilion scholars, and the incumbent officials must also go to Xiangyang Academy to study, and invite your father to come over after the year, I want to discuss with him how to evaluate the academic performance of these incumbent officials, and also to agree on the evaluation system for officials in the future."
"Yes!"
Mu Bai nodded and said to Li Gengyun that he understood, and he no longer persuaded Li Gengyun to go to his house for the New Year. But now he now has great respect and admiration for his teacher, and in addition to being far-sighted, he seems to be in a near-perfect state of insight into others and human feelings. Of course, Mu Bai had also heard some gossip about Li Gengyun, especially when it came to Fang Tong's rebellion and Baili Xi's encirclement and suppression of Li Gengyun before, he felt that he could turn the tide in such a disadvantageous situation, and I am afraid that only Li Gengyun would be the only one.
"Go back and rest early, tomorrow I will arrange for someone to ask the queen for instructions for you and your father, and you can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Hearing Li Gengyun's words, Mu Bai's face also showed a happy smile, although he has not been appointed yet, but he has already said this!
