The Lin family just hoped that Li Ting would have some success, so he persuaded Li Ting to take the imperial examination. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this private conversation, she unexpectedly found that Li Ting's performance was extraordinary, especially the smiling expression on his face, and the calm brilliance in his eyes, which did not look like a young man at all. If it weren't for the fact that he was still immature, she would have thought he was her peer. She thought she had a point, but she wondered if he would listen.

But Li Ting's face did not change, and his tone was very light: "I have always been not interested in the imperial examination, and you also know it, mother." ”

Lin looked at Li Ting, smiled and continued: "Your eldest brother Hongyun is just a talent at the moment, but Tongzhi came to the house as a guest, and also praised him for his splendid and good articles, everyone expects that he will have a future in the future, do you think why?" You don't look like a playful person, concentrate on reading while you're young, don't live up to the good time, it's always been like this throughout the ages, and if you don't study, you're an indecent race. ”

Li Ting was just silent, disapproving of Lin's teachings.

Books are naturally meant to be read, but not to read eight strands. If he wants to read the eight shares, pick up the wisdom of his predecessors, study the scriptures and meanings that give him a headache when he reads them, and write articles in a regular manner, it is impossible for him to do it. He is a modern person in his bones, and he can't accept those books full of sour Confucianism, and "the sage has clouds" and "Zhihu is not suitable for him", so he didn't listen to it at all.

Lin Shiqing tea in his hand, his posture was lazy, he shook his head and said: "In this case, you will never have a way out, you also have to think about how you will make a living when you grow up in the future?" Do you have to raise you at home for the rest of your life? ”

Li Ting listened to it and smiled: "The things of the world, but anyone who has a heart, everything can make a living, but if you are willing to work hard, you can get ahead, I think our ancestors of the Li family also started from a small business, and now there is such a rich and prosperous atmosphere." The eldest brother is highly educated, and I can't compare. I know my temperament, it's really not reading material, but I have some interest in medicine. ”

Lin was silent for a while, and found that Li Ting really thought through it.

She knew that this person was Neixiu's child a long time ago, and it wasn't until she was talking to him now that she was really sure of this, how old he was, and he spoke so methodically and assertively, which was completely different from everyone's impression. However, Li Ting's words meant to slap her in the face, so she thought about it, and refused in person.

Therefore, it seems to her that Li Ting is either extremely determined, or he doesn't know how to get along with others, and he doesn't look like the latter.

She had the idea of succeeding Li Ting.

Lin's family has a daughter, for fear that no one will take care of her after she dies, and today I see Li Ting's speech and demeanor extraordinary, it is quite appropriate to look at it, and it is not bad to find out that Li Ting does not want to take the imperial examination, anyway, she is not short of money, and it will be the same when the time comes. It's just that the children in the second room are not big, Li Xi'er is only six years old, Li An is only five years old, and Li Ting is only twelve years old, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter, she still wants to observe Li Ting for a few more days, but at the latest Li Ting must be settled before he becomes an adult.

Seeing that Li Ting had made up his mind, Lin no longer asked Li Ting about things such as reading and writing, and heard that Li Ting was interested in medicine, so he picked up bits and pieces of words and chatted with Li Ting for a while.

Li Ting answered, chatted a few words and then left.

When leaving, Lin also reminded Li Ting that he should pay attention to proportions when talking to his sister, look like an older brother, and never take his sister out to play again. Li Ting was not stupid enough to argue with Lin, and reluctantly agreed to Lin's request verbally, but in his heart he was thinking that adults were stubborn and not as easy to communicate with children.

Of course, it's good that you didn't tear your face with Lin.

Lin saw that Li Ting agreed, and the words changed: "The children of the concubines must have some means of livelihood after all, and you have to focus on studying medicine." ”

Li Ting nodded.

It had been a long time since he entered the Lin family's yard, and Li Ting was also a little hungry. Bidding farewell to Lin, he walked across the bridge at the discharge gate and saw two roads, one south and one north, the north side was a delicate attic, with a pond and a painting boat, and a low green tile house on the south side, which was also his residence.

The Li Mansion was divided into many small courtyards, the grandmother and those female dependents lived in the small courtyard in the north, and laughter could be heard in the flower garden, while Li Ting lived in the small courtyard in the south. The small courtyard in the south also has its own advantages, not only is it very convenient to go out, but also the environment is quieter.

Just as Li Ting was walking on the road with some emotion in his heart, he accidentally met his sister standing under the plane tree at the intersection, her little face was full of reverie, and she didn't feel a little funny. It's obviously an ignorant age, but she always shows a thoughtful expression, and this sister already thinks about things.

Yuzhu and Xuemei stood by Li Xi'er's side, looked at Li Ting, and said hello.

At this time, Li Ting had just returned from the Lin family, and he wanted to say something to his sister, so he walked over. Li Xi'er reacted, her slightly baby-fat face bulged, but her eyes were a little red.

He crouched down and asked her, "Why do you look like you've cried?" ”

Li Xi'er bit her lip and said, "Second brother, is my mother not allowing you to play with me?" ”

Li Ting couldn't help laughing, leaned over, and clearly saw Li Xi'er's clear pupils, shallow eyebrows as light as distant mountains, and thin and dense eyelashes, which were enough to imagine her romantic and handsome state in the future. Although the aesthetics of the Ming Dynasty are not exactly the same as those of later generations, they are not far behind, how to say that the younger sister is also the emperor who has been favored by all kinds of women, and I don't know how to be outstanding in the future to make the emperor obsessed.

Originally, he didn't have any feelings for Li Xi'er, but at this moment, seeing his sister's eyes full of reluctance, he really had a feeling of being an older brother in his heart.

"Sure enough." Li Xi'er saw that Li Ting was speechless, so she mistook it for the truth, lowered her head and let her eyelashes tremble slightly.

Li Ting knew that she had misunderstood, stretched out his hand and touched her head, and said softly: "No, Xi'er's mother is a very good person, and let me teach you homework, don't you learn to read and write, when the time comes, you will come and ask the second brother if you don't understand anything." ”

As soon as Li Ting finished speaking, Li Xi'er was stunned, and her immature little face was full of unresponsive expressions.

She then asked, "Doesn't my mother dislike the second brother?" ”

Li Ting smiled and said, "If your mother doesn't like me, will she let me take you to play?" Your little head is gray and you can't use your brain? ”

Li Xi'er heard the second brother say this, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, she was a little annoyed in her heart, and she didn't want to deal with Li Ting.

Fortunately, his sister finally regained her lively appearance, Li Ting secretly thought, his sister's age was originally a playful period, but there were no peers around her, and she was not very close to Li An, and the rest wanted to be close to her, and she had her mother's rules, so she had no companions and felt bored.

In the past, she and her brother were not close, but now it has finally changed, and she has a brother to play with her, of course she doesn't want her brother to ignore her. If she grows up, she can't play with her brother, after all, she is her own sister, and she will be so famous in the future, he can't let it go.

Li Ting looked down, Li Xi'er's eyes were glancing at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile: "You are still young, don't care too much about things." You just have to remember that no matter what, your brother won't ignore your sister. ”

Li Xi'er was slightly stunned, looking at Li Ting's kind gaze, she was indescribably happy in her heart, and thought of her younger brother who was as big as her, and bent her crescent eyes and said, "What about my brother?" ”

Li Ting tugged at the corners of his mouth, always feeling a little disobedient: "It's the same." ”
