Chapter 21: Wang Gui's Heart
Before dawn the next day, Li Daqi and his cousin Li Daguang came to the patriarch's mansion, although Li Daguang was derelict in the burning of the ancestral hall, but he was not snubbed by the patriarch, the new ancestral hall was still under his control, not only that, but he also got an opportunity to repair the family tree.

"Daqi, I heard that this time the genealogy is repaired with the Li family in Bianjing, maybe we will have a chance to go to Bianjing?"
Thinking of the dazzling Qinglou Music Workshop in Bianjing, Li Daguang's heart was about to fly out of the clouds.
Li Daqi is still wearing his shabby jacket, he hasn't had time to buy new clothes, although his body is still very thin and thin, but he ate two full meals yesterday, and there is hope for life again, so he looks energetic, and his face has a little shiny.
"Let's go! Don't keep the clan waiting. ”
The two entered the Li Mansion and walked to the door of the atrium, but faintly heard a fierce quarrel in the courtyard.
"You obviously know that Feng'er is going to go to county school next year, and participating in the Boys' Club is an opportunity to build connections, and you gave the place to others without consulting me, have you considered my feelings?"
"Feng'er has been participating in the Boys' Club for four consecutive years, what's wrong with letting it come out once, even if you let it go to me once, okay?"
"You also know that you want me to let you once, but will you give me the position of the chief butler once?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"You know it!"
Li Daqi and the others looked at each other, they heard that this was the patriarch brother arguing fiercely, what happened?
At this time, the door of the atrium suddenly opened, and I saw Li Wengui coming out of it angrily, and he couldn't close his feet, and just hit Li Daguang hard, Li Wengui stumbled and almost fell, so frightened that Li Daguang hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, Li Wengui glared at Li Daguang viciously, and walked away quickly.
Li Daqi pulled the panicked Li Daguang, and the two walked into the atrium, only to see the patriarch standing in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, and the anger on his face was not gone, at this time Li Wenyou saw the two, so he nodded and said, "Go to the house to talk." ”
Walking to the middle hall, Li Wenyou's anger had been restrained, he invited the two to sit down, and said slowly: "The matter of repairing the genealogy has been delayed for several years, and it just so happens that the county wants to repair the township chronicles, so I will take this opportunity to repair the genealogy together, and Bianjing is also urging us to send the genealogy to Bianjing for merger after repairing it." ”
"Isn't that a hurry?" Li Daguang asked.
"Actually, it's not in a hurry, Bianjing only started at the beginning of the year, and it will take at least a year to repair, and our side will almost repair for a year, just after the merger was completed together."
It is not difficult to repair the genealogy, but the difficulty is to write the main life experiences of the ancestors, which requires time to inquire and verify slowly, and it takes a year.
Li Wenyou smiled again: "This time I am going to take out a hundred yuan from the family treasury for the cultivation of the family tree, mainly your travel expenses, living allowances and some necessary expenses, I think the expenses for one year should be enough, if it is not enough, you tell me again, this family matter will be handed over to the two of you." ”
Li Daguang is secretly happy, the Li clan basically lives in Tangyin County, and it doesn't cost much money, even if the two of them share it equally, they have fifty yuan a year, and their lives are very nourishing.
Li Daqi nodded silently, he felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was very heavy.
Li Wenyou said to Li Daguang again: "Daguang go back first!" I'll talk to Daqi about repairing the township. ”
Li Daguang got up and saluted and left, Li Dayou said to Li Daqi gently: "Let's not mention the past things, I was a little sorry for you in the past, please bear with me!" ”
Li Daqi's nose was sour, "I'm grateful that the patriarch is too late, where can I hold a grudge." ”
"Alright, let's get down to business! But before I talk about the hometown, I want to tell you about this year's Boys' Club, because it is related to Qing'er. ”
..........
The town of Lushan is named after its proximity to Lushan, which is more of a small mound than a mountain, like a thin earthworm across a vast plain, with lush trees and a small stream flowing through the foothills.
A pavilion was built on the top of the hill, and 'Lushan Sunset' became a local scene, and there were often literati from the county who took ** to the pavilion to fill in the lyrics and sing songs, which also became a fashion in the town.
There is a path behind the school that can go directly to Lushan Pavilion, students often use the lunch break to go up the mountain to play, at noon, Li Yanqing followed Wang Gui up the mountain, this is the first time Li Yanqing went to Lushan, standing in the pavilion can overlook the panoramic view of Lushan Town, and even look south along the official road, you can faintly see Li Wen Village, looking at the scenery from a high place, which is refreshing and pleasant.
At this time, Li Yanqing heard Wang Gui's gritted teeth scolding behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Gui beating a small tree with a wooden stick, as if the small tree had formed a blood feud with him.
Li Yanqing laughed, since the morning he found that Wang Gui was in a bad mood, no one paid attention to it, this kid couldn't hold back in his heart, he pulled himself up the mountain, he must have wanted to say something to himself?
"Even if you beat the little tree to death, you won't be able to get out of the sulking in your heart." Li Yanqing leaned on the pavilion pillar with his arms folded and said slowly.
Wang Gui put the wooden stick on the ground, walked to the pavilion angrily, and shouted at the school: "I just hate in my heart, why is it my turn to do unlucky things!" ”
"Tell me about it! Maybe I can help you with something. ”
Wang Gui sat on the stone steps with his buttocks and said in a muffled voice: "Have you ever heard of the Boys' Club?" ”
"When I was in school, I heard Li Er say that it will start next month, and it was your cousin Wang Hui who participated last year, so it should be your turn this year!"
Li Yanqing suddenly understood Wang Gui's troubles a little, so he asked with a smile: "Could it be that you don't have your share this year?" ”
Wang Gui said hatefully: "The first and second time was the eldest cousin Wang Hui participated, the year before last and last year it was the second cousin Wang Hui participated, both of them went to the county school, then this year it should be my turn, I have been looking forward to it for a year, but yesterday my grandfather told me that the Wang family's quota this year was given up, let me participate again next year, I ..... I ....."
Wang Gui suddenly buried his head in his knees and cried sadly.
Li Yanqing looked at Wang Gui sympathetically, this morning Li Er told him about the Boy Scout's Club, and he knew that the four places in Xiaohe Township were taken by the four major families every year, last year it was Li Feng, Wang Hui, Tang Huai and Zhang Daxiao, Wang Hui went to the official school in the spring, and the Wang family should be Wang Gui's turn.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident, Li Yanqing sat next to him and asked with concern, "Who did you give up the quota to?" ”
Wang Gui scowled: "The quota is given to Fifth Brother Yue!" ”
Li Yanqing was stunned, he actually gave it to Yue Fei, so he was crying! No wonder he didn't talk to Yue Fei all morning.
Wang Gui wiped his tears and said, "I didn't hate the fifth brother, it's just.... I want to go with you. ”
"Wait!"
Li Yanqing heard a hint of clues, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want us to go together, does it have anything to do with me?" ”
Wang Gui looked at him in surprise, "Don't you know? Li Feng won't go this year, and the Li family's quota will be given to you. ”
Li Yanqing blinked his eyes, the news came too suddenly, he was not mentally prepared at all, and after a while, he asked, "Let me go?" Who decides this? ”
"My grandfather said that the master proposed to let you go, and your patriarch agreed."
It turned out to be Master Yao, this news was really beyond Li Yanqing's expectations, it seems that Master doesn't hate himself!
He scratched his head and said, "But I don't even know what the Boys' Club does, what are we going to do?" ”
"I heard that it was a fight in the ring, and I used various tricks to defeat the other party, but it was just a literary move."
Wang Gui's face suddenly turned red, his studies were the worst, even Tang Huai was better than him, if he went, wouldn't he be at the bottom, but ..... A few good friends have gone, and he wants to go too!
Li Yanqing was interested, it is estimated that it is a knowledge contest or something, he used to often participate in knowledge competitions, always won the first place, and it was the first time to participate in the knowledge contest of the Song Dynasty, and his heart was suddenly full of expectations for the Boys' Club.
Li Yanqing patted Wang Gui's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Let's go together, wrapped up in me. ”
"Really?" A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Gui's eyes.
Li Yanqing nodded, "This kind of small thing is just a gesture!" ”
