Chapter 007: Branches

I don't know how long I slept this night, and when I woke up, I didn't know the time, and I went out to see, oh, the sun was three poles!

I didn't expect to lie down yesterday afternoon, and I slept in the dark, and I wondered why no one called me to eat last night?

As soon as I thought of this, I felt hungry in my belly, and I walked around the yard, but I didn't find Lao Li and his family. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info went to the kitchen and met Yang Ganniang to ask, he learned that Li Daguan had gone fishing, and the Li family lady entered the city early in the morning.

Li Ang didn't think much about it, took two pieces of cooking cake from the pot and gobbled it up, choking and rolling his eyes.

Yang Ganniang gave him a bowl of hot soup, as if he had something to say, but he stopped talking.

"What's wrong with my godmother?"

"Niu Tou, don't blame the godmother for being too talkative."

"What did the godmother say?"

"You're almost twenty years old, so it's time to know. Don't mention it far away, since you fell into the water, and then to make a fuss in that Baozheng, your mother is already uncomfortable, don't let them be sad anymore, ah. ”

Li Ang didn't feel good when he heard it, where did he start? What did I do?

But the Yang family has never been married, let alone children, since he arrived in the Li family, he has been a servant and a nanny, strictly speaking, Li Ang was actually brought up by her. Therefore, compared with Meng Shilai, Li Niutou is closer to this old godmother.

Although he was depressed, he still asked softly about the reason.

As soon as Yang said that, he knew that Li Daguan was scared at first yesterday, and after he left, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and he felt that he had failed too much in his life. Not to mention the failure of the imperial examination, it is not easy to give birth to a son, and I dare to run a donkey cart with my mouth full of such a big thing, and I can't understand the difficulty of my parents at all......

After listening to Yang Ganniang quietly, Li Ang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. I was admitted to the county school! Why didn't anyone believe it! Oops, I'll go! The broken school doesn't say that it will issue an admission letter!

When he was sulking, he heard someone outside shouting: "Is this Li Bai Li's family?" ”

Leon put away his mind and went out to take a look. A man in a short shirt and straw shoes stood in the courtyard and looked out, and a donkey cart was parked outside the fence wall behind him, and in front of the car stood an official in a green robe and a public man in a gray shirt.

Li Ang hurriedly went over to salute and called the blue-robed official "Sir" and the gray-shirted official "Shangcha". It turned out that the one in the green robe was the scholar who gave the six-character mantra in the examination room yesterday, and the one in the gray shirt was the errand follower of Kang Zhifu.

After a few words of greeting, the two of them were invited to sit in the main hall, and after Yang Ganniang served tea, Li Ang asked, "I don't know if Mr. and Shangcha are coming, what are you doing?" Please also advise. ”

The scholar was a "straight school" of the government school, surnamed Wang, in his forties, and similar to the "moral education director" of the school in later generations.

"This is your home, let you sit and sit, what are the rules?" Wang Zhixue took the head and put it on the table, and said with a smile.

Li Ang was only halfway seated, and at this moment, Li Bai, who had heard the news and went home, appeared outside the hall, bumped into the coachman's shirt, and did not enter the door, so he confessed outside, and hurriedly went to change his clothes and come out to meet the guests.

He sat on the throne with Wang Zhixue, and Li Ang and Zhou San at the bottom were from left to right, and they must have gossiped at the beginning. Although Li Daguan has no fame, he is a senior who has been tested by the scientific field for a long time, so Wang Zhixue's tone is quite polite.

Li Ang and Zhou Sancong listened, and they didn't have the right to intervene.

After gossiping, Wang Zhixue expressed his intention: "Brother Mubai, this is the case. Yesterday's county exam, Ling Lang learned that the prime minister of the government raised his love and allowed him to enter the school without the curtain examination. ”

"Huh?" Li Bai can stuff a goose egg in his mouth.

"What? Brother Mu Bai still doesn't know? Wang Zhixue was also surprised, and as he spoke, he looked at Li Niutou and saw that he was just smiling bitterly.

At the moment, Li Daguan's heart is pounding, and his throat and eyes are thin, and his throat and eyes can jump out! Did my son really get admitted to the county school? Not me? Yesterday...... Hi! What kind of father am I! I didn't even ask him to eat dinner yesterday!

It was inconvenient to talk to his son, so he answered: "Oh, I heard the dog mention it." "But he can't act, although he pretends to be calm, he is so excited that his hands and feet are shaking, which makes the guests worry about it, is this going to have a stroke?

"Well, it is said that the prefect will personally admit it, and this matter will be decided." As soon as Wang Zhixue said this, Li Ang knew that something had changed. However, Sun Baolin, the capital of your township, personally went to the county government yesterday afternoon to report that Ling Lang had been a disaster to the township over the years, and the people were very resentful, and he was not qualified to take the county examination at all. Is there such a thing? ”

Li Ang was a half-hung actor, and he had to pretend to be calm and calm, but Li Bai was stunned, his hands and feet stopped in an instant, his whole body stiffened, and he didn't even move his eyes.

Whether it is to participate in the official examination or the imperial examination, there are seven types of people who are not qualified: concealing worries and concealing uniforms, tasting criminal responsibility, committing filial piety, harming the township party, impersonating household names, committing crimes by fathers and ancestors, and being industrial and commercial monks.

Later, the "Industrial and Commercial Monk Dao" did not make strict requirements, but the first six items are definitely iron laws, and if you get into one, you will have nothing to do with official learning and official career in your life.

The place where the household registration is located is all reported in real name, and it is no wonder that the school and the prefect's yamen have sent people down to inquire.

Just when Li Bai didn't know how to respond, Li Niutou was turning his brain quickly. Sun Lezi reported to the county government, but the two people who came down, one was in school, and the other was barely regarded as the prefect's yamen, and it had nothing to do with the rice bucket to know the county......

When I think of this, I am determined.

However, the teacher couldn't interject at will in front of him, so he waited for Wang Zhi to ask him before he got up and said calmly: "Don't dare to hide from Mr., the student was young and frivolous before, and he did some ridiculous things. But for the sake of this hat in the township, the students really can't wear it. ”

Li Bai also said anxiously when he heard this: "Although the dog has a stubborn temperament, it is kind in nature. When I was a child, I was naughty and mischievous, but I never dared to cause trouble in the township, and I asked the officials to investigate. ”

"Really?"

"It's true, and it's true."

Wang Zhixue didn't say anything for a while, picked up the tea and took a sip, pondered for a moment, put down the tea bowl, and then said: "If it's just naughty and mischievous, I'm afraid this is your family's words." I'm appointed by the school, and the two governors of the prefecture and county are waiting for a reply, so I can't listen to it, right? ”

He was amiable when he came, and when he talked about things, Leon knew what he wanted to do. But because of his status as a student and junior, he couldn't speak, so he looked at Lao Li and gave him a look, hoping that he could understand.

But Li Daguan really doesn't understand, or even if he does, he doesn't bother to do it. Otherwise, how could it be possible to pass the test five times and go to the provincial test four times but still stay in the countryside as a small landlord? With his knowledge, he is a little willing to bow his head and find a proper errand in his studies, so why should he ask for someone for a floating ticket?

No one spoke, and the atmosphere froze.

Wang Zhixue said that this is hard! I came to check on your son, but now he is sitting at your house drinking tea with you, don't you understand? Why is it so unattainable?

Just when Wang Zhou couldn't sit down and Li Ang was almost crazy, the Meng family went into the city to buy it. Seeing that there were guests in the house, one of whom was still wearing a blue official robe, she bent her knees slightly across the threshold and warmly kept her meal.

Thankfully, Li Daguan finally got a sense of priority, and arched his hand to Wang Zhixue and Zhou Sancong: "It's rare for the two to go to the countryside, so why do you have to let the landlord do your best in the lower part of the landlord's friendship?" ”

Zhou San never said anything that day, he spent most of his time listening to the shouts of Kang Zhifu, and it was easy to go back to his hometown, so he was naturally happy to be complimented.

Wang Zhixue waved his hand and said: "No need, I'll wait for the county in the countryside to issue 'coupons'." Besides, it's a small matter to eat you, if it is discovered by the personnel of the prison state, it will be difficult to say. ”

After Li Bai heard this, he really didn't insist on it.

Li Ang couldn't stand it anymore, confessed his guilt, and said diligently: "The student has been enrolled in the county school, and the official of the direct school is my teacher, so why should the student invite the teacher to have a meal?" Mr. Wanwang appreciates the light, and the students are easy to teach. ”

Wang Zhixue listened to him and was well-behaved, and knew that this was a sensible person, no wonder he didn't know that the prime minister of the government had promoted you. Thinking of this, he relieved himself and said, "That...... Well, that's it. ”

Zhou Sancong was embarrassed, other students invited teachers, what is the matter with me? As soon as his butt was raised, he said, "That, that's not ...... down."

"Hey, the prefect was ordered by the prefect to accompany the officials to the countryside, and if they don't even eat a glass of wine, they will go out for fear that the people in Xiaoxi Village will not be happy."
