The banquet in the lobby has been set up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wu Shaogang followed Li Tingzhi into the lobby, and all the oil lamps around him were lit, illuminating the lobby as if it were day.

Of the five people waiting to chat in the lobby, Wu Shaogang only knew the Gong family, and none of the rest knew him.

Before Wu Shao could salute the Gong family, Li Tingzhi opened his mouth to introduce him.

"Cangling, come, let me introduce you, this is the dog Li Run, Li Chensun, Li Yousun, this is the Cheap Nei Xiong Clan."

Li Tingzhi's introduction was very simple, but Wu Shaogang knew very well that he saluted one by one, first to the Gong family, then to the Xiong family, and finally to Li Run, Li Chensun and Li Yousun at the same time.

Li Run, Li Chensun and Li Yousun also returned the gift to Wu Shaogang at the same time.

Although I didn't know Li Run and others before, Wu Shaogang had already inquired about it, Gong was Li Tingzhi's main room, and had a son and a daughter, the son Li Run was the eldest son in the family, and the daughter Li Hanwei, and the side room Xiong had two sons, namely Li Chensun and Li Yousun, Li Run was the eldest son of the in-law, and Li Chensun and Li Yousun were born to the Xiong family in the side room, and their status in the family was naturally much lower.

So after meeting, Wu Shaogang paid close attention to the demeanor of Li Run, Li Chensun and Li Yousun.

Gong, Xiong and Li Run were sitting, while Li Chensun and Li Yousun were standing, which already showed the difference in status.

Needless to say, the Gong family is sitting, after all, the Xiong family is an elder, and it is said that in the past, Li Run is a junior, and being able to sit depends on the identity of the eldest son, and this family will rely on him, the eldest son, to support it in the future.

However, there was not much arrogance on Li Run's face, and when he looked at Li Chensun and Li Yousun, his eyes were also soft and casual, which showed that Li Run's relationship with his two younger brothers was still good.

Li Run, the word Tianfang, is four years older than Wu Shaogang, already twenty-one years old, Li Chensun, the word by the road, one year older than Wu Shaogang, already eighteen years old, Li Yousun, the word Mingcai, one year younger than Wu Shaogang, just sixteen years old.

The seat also reflects the identity, Li Tingzhi is in the center, his left is Gong, on the right is Xiong, Wu Shaogang is sitting next to Gong, Li Run is sitting next to Xiong, Li Chensun is sitting next to Wu Shaogang, and Li Yousun is sitting next to Li Run.

Wu Shaogang is a guest, but he is also Li Tingzhi's future son-in-law, and it is impossible to sit in front of the elders.

As for Li Jiawei, it is impossible to come to dinner, because Wu Shaogang is present, as Wu Shaogang's quasi-fiancée, before getting married, Li Jiawei and Wu Shaogang cannot meet, if they meet, it is a sign of ignorance and bad customs.

There is another thing that Wu Shaogang doesn't know, that is, the matter of calculating the eight characters of birth.

Powerful families, whether they marry a daughter-in-law or a daughter-in-law, will generally measure the word in advance, if it is to marry a daughter-in-law, they will find a way to know the woman's birth date in advance, find the husband to calculate, if it is a combination of eight characters, there will be a matter of request, if it is to marry a daughter, it will also obtain the man's birthday in advance, find Mr. to calculate, and only after the eight characters will agree to the man's door-to-door proposal.

Wu Shaogang and Li Hanwei's birthdays, Li Tingzhi has already found someone to calculate them, and they are completely compatible, and Li Hanwei still has the life of Wangfu.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Tingzhi insists on this family business.

When Li Tingzhi picked up the wine glass, everyone followed suit.

"Today's Xiao Nian, the family is reunited, Cangling is not an outsider, don't be polite, Tianfang, by the road, Mingcai, you are all studying in Guozijian, although you are all in the capital, but you can't go home on weekdays, it's rare to have this reunion, you can let go of drinking, I can tell you, Cangling's amount of alcohol is very good."

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one go, Wu Shaogang followed closely and finished drinking, of course Gong and Xiong would not finish drinking, so he took a sip to indicate that Li Run, Li Chensun and Li Yousun also drank it in one go.

In the family of the powerful, after the age of fourteen, boys are basically regarded as adults, and they must abide by many rules, and they must not continue to laugh and mess around, otherwise they will be punished.

The students of Guozijian are almost all the children of powerful and wealthy families, Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the Great Song Dynasty, and the source of its students is also recommended by Fuzhou County, requiring good conduct and good knowledge, etc., this article of good conduct limits the children of ordinary people.

Li Tingzhi's three sons were able to enter the Guozijian to study, which is enough to prove this.

The prisoners of Guozijian can not be an official directly, they can be a staff member, and they also have to participate in the imperial examination to seek the fame of the Jinshi, the Great Song Dynasty is different from the later Ming and Qing dynasties, and the scholars are high school jinshi, and they may not immediately enter the imperial court as an official, and there is a period of study and assessment, during this time, the Jinshi can play and fold, and can even participate in the court.

However, the identity of the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty is noble, the founding emperor Zhao Kuangyin once stipulated that it is not allowed to kill scholars, this rule later, evolved into not allowed to kill scholars with meritorious reputations, and the reputation recognized by the imperial court is the meritorious name of the Jinshi obtained after participating in the palace examination.

There are a lot of Junjie in the Great Song Dynasty, especially in the south, for example, Wen Tianxiang, who was the top student in high school at the age of 20, and Lu Xiufu, who was a high school jinshi at the age of 19, in comparison, the twenty-one-year-old Li Run is still studying in Guozijian, which is nothing.

The atmosphere of the meal was very harmonious, contrary to Wu Shaogang's expectations, Li Tingzhi looked very open-minded, asked Li Run and others about their studies, and encouraged Li Run and others to take the imperial examination in the coming year and be able to be on the gold list.

Gong looked at Li Run a lot of time, his eyes were full of pity, and Xiong also looked at Li Chensun and Li Yousun, but his actions were much more obscure.

Li Tingzhi paid more attention to Wu Shaogang, probably considering that Wu Shaogang was not a scholar, so after encouraging Li Run and others, he talked about the matter of Guozijian and the imperial examination.

Wu Shaogang doesn't care at all, he knows that the status of a scholar is noble, if he travels to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, no matter how he endures hardships, Wu Shaogang has to work hard towards the road of the imperial examination in order to get a good background, but it has reached the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the world is about to fall into ****, and the meaning of reading is not very great.

With a peaceful state of mind, Wu Shaogang's performance is also very natural.

Li Run, Li Chensun and Li Yousun, the one who paid the most attention to Wu Shaogang was naturally Wu Shaogang.

They were not very clear about Wu Shaogang's situation, and after learning about Wu Shaogang's official position, they all thought that he was a big man with a tiger's back, but after meeting, they were greatly surprised, Wu Shaogang revealed the breath of a Confucian general.

What is a Confucian general, that is, a commander who is both civil and military, can act for the people's livelihood, and can lead the army to fight.

Li Run knew a little more about the situation, after all, he was the eldest son in the family.

Before Nacai, Li Run and his mother Gong had similar attitudes, thinking that this family business was not good, the door was not right, and leaving home was a powerful family after all, full of the atmosphere of reading, and it was not coordinated to let a reckless officer enter the house.

Father Li Tingzhi's insistence, Li Run also felt strange.

After seeing Wu Shaogang today, Li Run was most surprised, and he also faintly felt that his father's choice might be reasonable.

Half an hour passed, and the banquet was coming to an end.

Li Tingzhi was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine, and after the wine glass, he spoke to Wu Shaogang.

"Cangling, Tianfang and Youlu are older than you, but I see your experience, they are much stronger, what you have experienced, they are afraid that it will be difficult to meet in a lifetime, Mingcai is only one year younger than you, in my opinion, I can't compare with you...

Before Li Tingzhi finished speaking, Wu Shaogang felt bad, it seems that Li Tingzhi really drank too much, such a comparison is inappropriate, even if he Wu Shaogang has extraordinary skills, but it is not shown at home.

Sure enough, Gong's, Xiong's, Li Run, Li Chensun, and Li Yousun's faces were not very good.

Li Tingzhi didn't notice this, and was still talking to himself.

"Cangling, it's rare to have a family reunion today, tell them how you feel, and let them experience it."

After Li Tingzhi finished speaking, all eyes focused on Wu Shaogang.

Wu Shaogang felt uncomfortable, on such an occasion, it was absolutely inappropriate to point out Li Run and others, and he could not do so, but if he was humble and didn't say anything, Li Tingzhi would be disappointed, and Gong, Xiong, Li Run and others would also have the idea of looking down on him.

After thinking for a while, Wu Shaogang spoke.

"Uncle made a request, the juniors have to obey, don't dare to give advice, the juniors say one thing, see how Brother Tianfang, Brother Youlu and Brother Mingcai answer."

As soon as Wu Shaogang's words fell, everyone's attention was focused.

"Cangling's question is very simple, if you encounter a river blocking you in the process of hurrying, what choices will you make?"

Li Run looked at Wu Shaogang and couldn't help but speak.

"Is Brother Cangling's question so simple?"

"That's the question I'm asking."

"Look for a wooden boat to cross the river."

After Li Run answered, he looked at Wu Shaogang, and then at Li Chensun and Li Yousun.

Li Chensun and Li Yousun also answered, and the answer was the same, they were both looking for wooden boats to cross the river.

Wu Shaogang smiled slightly and slowly spoke.

"My answer, unlike yours, I think the best way to deal with it is to build a bridge, the wooden boat can carry not many people, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with the wooden bridge, tens of millions of people can walk on it, easily cross the river."

There was a sudden silence around them.

Li Tingzhi looked at Wu Shaogang, and a glimmer of light shot in his eyes.

"Tianfang, by the road, Mingcai, a simple question, the countermeasure of Cangling, completely different from yours, what I feel from it is the realm, one person crossing the river and ten million people crossing the river, the difference between this, I don't say that you are also clear."

There is also a big change in Gong's expression, she looked at Wu Shaogang, her eyes were more worried, the woman's family thought of the stability of life, Wu Shaogang's ambition is indeed not ordinary, but if you want to realize your ambition, the ups and downs and hardships encountered will be extraordinary.
