Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Gambling Handicap
This time, in addition to the affidavit, Xin'er sent a handwritten letter from Li Dayong, of course, it was all words of encouragement, what kind of words such as peace of mind and Wenshu and attentive exams, Li Gouyu carefully put it away and put it in the small bookcase he carried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If you ask Li Gou, what is the most boring and tiring thing in the world? Li Gouyu will definitely tell you without thinking that it is reading.
A copy of "The Mean" and the annotated interpretation of Li Gou's leftover brainstorming and meat in his head now, he is going crazy, the ancients attached great importance to the cultivation of the mind, but this is too damn sinful, right!?
Following the sage's train of thought and thinking about life is completely masochistic! It is estimated that the saints are naturally pure and think in their heads are different from ordinary people, anyway, following their paths, Li Gouyu feels that he will become a fool sooner or later!
It seems that he has also entered the strange circle of scolding the saint while honestly studying the saint! Li Gouyu shook his head helplessly, it was too early to be cynical, so he leaned down and continued to study.
Now it's not out of the first month, the weather is still very cold, the family is fine, there is a dragon, warm as spring, but this society does not have this treatment, write a few words fingers this cold is not good, the inkstone always has to be sharpened from time to time, otherwise it will freeze on the ice ballast after a while, and it becomes difficult to dip it into writing!
Li Gouyu rubbed his hands, warmed them in his arms, studied the inkstone a few times, and then began to bow his head to warm the book again.
In the distance, a few elementary school students gathered in a pile, pointing at Li Gouyu's side and pointing, obviously what was going on.
"I think Li Gouyu can be admitted, I bet ten cents, and bet on Gouyu to win."
A meaty elementary school student looked at Li Gouyu for a long time, and it really looked like he was meeting, so he muttered in a low voice: "I bet ten cents, and I bet on him." ”
It turned out to be in the market.
Generally, when the imperial examination opens, there will be a gambling trend in the society, to put it bluntly, it is to go to the results of the examination, especially in Guangdong, it is said that there are many bankrupt people, and the primary school students are also following the example, and it is even blue and white in this school to come out of this society.
"I don't think so, Li Gou's time to come to the school club is short, although he performed very well when the county magistrate came last time, but after all, there are few things in the melon seeds in his head, I think it is at best a strange skill, and he can't get on the big stage, I bet on Qin Wenwu, this person is quick-thinking, diligent and studious, and he has been coming to our book club for two or three years, I believe that over time, it is naturally stronger than Li Gou's temporary cramming."
A skinny student, who was obviously a little shrewd, pinched his chin and analyzed.
This person seems to have some weight in speaking in this circle of students, as soon as this person's words came out, several students nodded yes, and one student simply pulled up the desk and wrote down the five names who were going to take the exam this time: "What Baichuan said is reasonable, I also bet on Qin Wenwu, fifteen Wen!" ”
Saying that, this person bet fifteen yuan in Qin Wenwu's name.
Yanggu County is small, there are not a few children a year, generally speaking, there are few people who can pass the county test, and in previous years, a wave of county trials Hongtang School can pass only one or two, which is ashamed.
"Well......" Another student pondered for a long time, but what he was holding in his hand was the copper saved by a month of thrift, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble a little, and he had a little bit of a sense of seeing through the red dust: "I also bet on Qin Wenwu, twelve yuan!" ”
"I also bet on Qin Wenwu."
"Me ...... too"
The situation doesn't seem to be very favorable to Li Gouyu, just now the students with thin chin analyzed them one by one, Qin Wenwu and Zhang Xiaochuan have become popular, especially Qin Wenwu, who has simply become a big hit, and almost all the students are going to this Qin Wenwu, as if this guy is determined to win.
"Wait......" First of all, the meat that was left by the dog knocked on his head, with a painful face, and everyone was betting on Li Gou's leftovers, and he was a little bottomless in his heart, and he couldn't help but give himself courage: "Li Gouyu is said to have won the purple clothes of the imperial court, why is it so unbearable?" I don't think I'll be able to get by!? ”
"Tricks!"
The student with a thin chin pondered for a long time: "I inquired about the situation that day, it is said that Li Gouyu and Yanggu Social Studies' pockmarked face had a bad relationship, and the two bet that the pockmarked face was in the same place, and it is estimated that Li Gouyu was also going to be different from what Mazi Face said!" Otherwise, the people in Manyang Valley County didn't see that this iron bull would be upstream, so why would Li Gou see it? ”
"Yes, I also said, Li Gouyu just had nothing to say, so he went to say something different from the pockmarked face, which was also a bit grandstanding, who would have thought that this would have been a purple dress issued by the imperial court's political envoy? To put it bluntly, it's also a **** luck! ”
A student who bet on Qin Wenwu said.
Could it be true as he said? Roududu's heart was even more bottomless, and he looked at his fifteen pennies with distress and pain, and then looked at the dog's leftovers, hey, hating iron is not steel!
The thin face is obviously the leader in the circle, and he pondered for a long time: "On this competition, it depends on the situation of the usual hard work, I, bet two, this bet on Qin Wenwu will win." ”
Saying that, with a thin face, he lost ten bronzes under Qin Wenwu's name.
"What about this ......" took the copper and weighed it in his hand for a long time, and said with a thin face: "This one will bet on Li Gou to lose!" ”
Meat is about to cry.
"Well, I'm also betting on Li Gou to lose!"
"I'm ...... too"
Now the situation seems to be even more unfavorable to the dog leftover, and the handicap of the Hongtang Society now seems to be not very optimistic about the dog leftover, and the dog leftovers of Qi Brushing have lost dozens of dollars!
Thinking about so many people nowadays, it seems that they are planning to eat themselves! Meat Dudu suddenly hated from love, and then glanced at the dog leftovers, it turned out to be full of disgust. Hate iron doesn't make steel!
……
Besides, Li Gouyu still doesn't know anything about this class, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to it, there are piles of courses and books all day long, where does he have the heart to take care of so much?
After school, despite the disgust in the eyes of the students, he went home with a small bookcase on his back.
I heard that my son is going to take a scientific examination, and the family is busy with work, Wang bought a white chicken today and started to stew chicken with mushrooms.
"Come, son, I've been using my brain a lot lately, eat some chicken to make up for it."
As soon as the dog leftover entered the door, the Wang family greeted him with a smile and a smile.
When I go home on weekdays, my parents are mostly arguing, because of the small stumbling and bickering on weekdays, which is also one of the few pleasures in the ordinary life of the Li family, but in the past few days, because their son is going to take a scientific examination, the two of them are tacitly and do not talk about official affairs, and Li's father no longer complains that the work in the county is difficult to do, and he is not as free as before in the village.
Li Gouyu knew that this was all his parents' love for him, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, looking at the fragrant chicken on the table in front of him, and couldn't help but fall into the soup with big tears.
Where did Li Gouyu, an orphan in later generations, have been treated like this?
Looking at Wang's smiling and vicissitudes of life, Father Li was there and didn't speak, for fear that that sentence would annoy the mother-in-law and son, so he was stupidly pestle aside, but who couldn't see the expectation in his eyes?
Father, mother, the dog must come back with the first case, so that the second elder will be happy!
The dog wiped away his tears and made up his mind.
