Listened to the words of the chief manager Qian Zhongjiao. Li Yu's heart also sank. Although he knew that his younger brother was still young, he dragged his sick body to the end. It's common not to do well in the exam, but thinking about my brother's strong temperament, how can I tell the news?

Today is the day of the laurel list, and Li Cheng is in the first place.

Qian Zhongrui couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that Li Yu didn't speak.

When the third young master was in the capital last year. I have also visited several great Confucians with the uncle, and they all said that the third young master is smart and has solid homework.

If it weren't for the killing of these old masters. The third young master will not be only thirteen years old, so he thinks about taking the exam.

is young and strong, and it is not easy to survive for nine days. After the third young master traveled thousands of miles again, he dragged his sick body to the end.

"Second young master, do you want to hide it? Or procrastinate? Seeing that Li Yu didn't speak. Qian Zhongrui asked tentatively.

Li Yu raised his head, looked at Qian Zhongrui and smiled bitterly: "Boss, how can you hide it?" How to drag? ”

Qian Zhongrui was also speechless, yes. Although the third young master is sick, he is not sick and confused, and he knows that today is the day of the list.

Even if you want to put it off and tell him, you can delay it until dinner at most.

"My aunt and my cousin are still there. After sending off the guests, let them know slowly. Li Yuzhi felt that his brain hurt, but there was no other way, he could take one step at a time.

Qian Zhongrui originally thought about whether to tell the Li family and ask the Li family to enlighten and comfort the third young master, and then thought that the third young master was the most strong, and he didn't want to lose face in front of his relatives, so he also felt that Li Yu had arranged it properly.

Inner house, Li Cheng's room.

looked at Li Cheng, who was pale. There was no trace of blood, and his voice became weaker and weaker, Li Shi was afraid of tired him, so after saying a few words, he leaned over and tucked his quilt, and said: "It's so good to rest, I brought two old ginseng, let people boil it to make up for you, and I'll come back to see it in a few days."

Li Cheng squeezed out a little smile and said, "It's all grandchildren, it's not that my aunt and grandmother are worried, my grandson is fine, and I will be fine in two days, so I will go to my aunt and grandmother to say goodbye "cough, cough"

He tried to pretend that nothing happened, but as soon as he said a word, he began to cough incessantly.

The face has coughed so much that tears come out, and there is no ordinary clever appearance, but it makes people feel unbearable when they look at it.

"Good boy, don't talk anymore. Take care of it. The pity in Li's eyes was even greater, he patted the quilt, got up and said two words to the Li family's mother-in-law and maid who were standing next to him, but he took care of it carefully, and then took Cao Yi out.

Seeing that her mother's face was worried, Xiao Cao comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, didn't the imperial doctor say it?" Li Cheng was weak. The invasion of external evils infected with wind and cold, slowly conditioning, there is no big problem. ”

"Your uncle is just this grandson, and your maternal grandmother raised him, if he really has a mistake in the capital, it will be unbearable." Li Shi sighed and said.

Cao Wei had to comfort him a few more words, although he didn't like Li Cheng, but he wouldn't gloat and look forward to the death of a thirteen-year-old child. He was also a father and had children of his own.

However, he had no complaints in his heart.

Li Cheng, this guy, is obviously self-inflicted, and he has to let others worry about it. After three nine days of the township test, he recovered from a serious illness, and he traveled for more than ten days, and then stayed up for nine days, which was almost like looking for death.

Thinking of this, he remembered that today was the release period.

"Auntie, cousin." Li Yu came and saw the two of them. He who speaks of a guest

"Cheng'er is not in good health, and you are also busy. We're not going to make a mess of it. A good man takes care of your brother, and if he lacks anything, let someone go and speak up. Li said to Li.

Li Yu responded in a low voice and sent the Li mother and son out.

Cao Yi rode a horse, guarding his mother's carriage, and the group returned from Li's house.

After passing the West Fourth Archway, I saw firecrackers hanging at the door of a family in front of me and putting them up "crackling".

The horses used in Lee's carriage are all carefully trained by the racecourse, and they are not afraid of noisy noises. So the coachman waved his whip steadily and continued on his way.

Seeing the people with the yamen coming out of that door, Cao Mei couldn't help but look over.

Xiaoman rode alongside him, reined in the reins, and stepped forward; "Uncle, it's the laurel list that has been released, and the messengers of Shuntianfu have come to report the good news. Did we come out of my uncle's house early, or maybe we would be able to catch up with the excitement over there. ”

Cao nodded and saw a joyful middle-aged man walking out of the house over there. After the officers. Looking at the dress-up, he doesn't look like a housekeeper.

At this time, a few people came over. hugged his fist at the man and said: "Congratulations to Zhao Siye High School 1 I already knew that Siye was not a layman, and he played six times, and finally 66 Shun, and he was determined to be an official in the future, and he had to remember to mention our neighbors." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice." That "Zhao Ye" hurriedly leaned over to return the salute, and his eyes were already smiling.

At this time, I saw a tiger-headed boy who jumped out of the door, grabbed the sleeve of "Zhao Ye", and said: "Grandpa should be a lifter, grandpa is going to be an official"

That Zhao Ye lowered his head and picked up the boy. Looking back at the dilapidated gate, I don't know what to say."

Cao Mei retracted his gaze, and the inner city was full of people living in the banner. But anyone who has some foundation will not hang himself on the skipping rope of the imperial examination.

This Zhao Siye, if it weren't for the decline of his family, he would not have ended up six times, and he would not be confused after the New Year, and he would still take the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination.

Thinking of this, Cao Po was a little unsure about whether Li Cheng could go to high school.

Even if Li Cheng looks a little younger, after all, he is limited in age, and he is in the same field with those candidates who have read books for more than ten years, or have read books for half their lives. There is no certainty.

Xiao Man has already said willingly! "Today's list, tomorrow there is a letter of good news from the young master of the Li family, maybe the illness will be cured. It also saves the wife from worrying about the uncle

Xu is because Cao Fu was sixteen years old, Cao Xiang was fourteen years old for the first time, and eighteen years old for Tanhua, in Xiao Man's heart, the imperial examination is nothing, so I didn't think that Li Cheng might fall first.

In his opinion, if you are not 100% sure and come all the way to the horse, it is not enough to be fed.

Wait until you get home. Cao Liang got off the horse, and saw the porter come forward and said, "Uncle, the seventh master of the Cheng family brought someone to greet the uncle." Waiting in the side hall. ”

Cao dismounted. He handed the reins to the servant and stepped into the courtyard.

In the side hall. Cheng Mengxian looked at Zheng Zan, who was slightly restrained in front of him, a little puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Brother Kerou, speaking of which, brother and Cao Ye also have the same friendship, why are you so restrained?" ”

This is talking about the fact that Master Zheng Shou was the west seat of Cao's mansion and the master of Cao.

Zheng Zan heard this. With surprise on his face, he asked, "Seventh Master, where does this start?" ”

Cheng Mengxian was stunned when asked, and was a little confused, and said: "Could it be a false rumor, not that Cao Ye is the same as Ling Zun." Are they all the disciples of the Song family?

Since last year. Cheng Mengxian was extremely concerned about Cao and hated to find out all the things related to Cao Ming.

Cao's words. It is also famous in the officialdom of the capital. Even in the past two years, there are often people who ask for words from the Cao family. Therefore, it is not a secret that he is a calligrapher Song Binchen and a disciple again.

Zheng Zan heard this. said: "Xu is a long time ago, I haven't heard my father mention it, I don't know about it." Please also ask the seventh master to be compassionate. Don't mention this matter, students are only here to seek the museum, and it is not easy to cling. small

Cheng Mengxian frowned and looked at Zheng Shou, but he didn't know what to say.

The family can't open the pot, and they are all reduced to selling words on the street, and they don't know the concubine. After changing others, thinking about the relationship between the Cao family, he would have already come to the door to fight the autumn breeze.

After all, the world attaches great importance to "respecting teachers and valuing education", and Cao Mei has walked out of the good popularity of his fame and remembers the friendship of his peers. will also reach out to help Zheng Bian.

Outside the hall, Cao Wei stopped and just heard the last two sentences.

Don't know about it?

Zheng Shou is one year older than Cao Mei, and Kangxi is eight years old in his forty years. At that time, he followed Song Fuzi to the Cao family's other courtyard in Hangzhou twice, and the well-behaved and clever Guan Cao called him "Uncle Shi".

Cao Mei remembered the past, and only felt funny in his heart.

Own this. "Nephew." He was also a big celebrity in Kangqian. Now that it is sent to the door, it dares to dissociate itself from itself, where is it so cheap?

Thinking of inviting such a famous celebrity as a teacher for his sons, Cao Yi was quite excited. Maybe. Decades later. His children and grandchildren also have a place in Shilin and leave their names in history.

He sank his steps. Walk up, push open the door and enter.

Cheng Mengxian heard footsteps in the room, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, and Zheng Zan also stood up when he saw this.

"It's Gao Yun here." Cao Mei had a smile on his face, and he called Cheng Mengxian's words in his mouth.

It's been a long time since I was in contact. Cao Liang has a good impression of this practical Cheng Laoqi. No wonder the Cheng family has been able to stand in Jiangnan for a hundred years, and they see that there are several cousins of Cheng Mengkun's generation who are all well-versed people.

Like flowing water, warm and pleasant, soft but not netty.

"Cao Ye. This is Zheng Zheng Kerou that the villain mentioned to Cao Ye" Cheng Mengxian leaned over to salute, and then turned to Zheng Shou and said: "Brother Kerou, this is Uncle Cao, the master here."

"Student Zheng Bian has seen Uncle Cao. Zheng Sue leaned over.

Cao returned the favor. "Mr. Zheng."

Twenty years no see. Zheng Zao's tinea has long been cured, only the brain door, and he still vaguely looks like he was a child.

Thinking that Cao Yi was naughty at that time, and he once pushed down Zheng Sue and hugged the old fist, Cao Yi's smile couldn't be stopped. He hurriedly stretched out his fist, covered his mouth, coughed lightly twice, and invited the two to sit down.

Cao Mei mentioned several children in the family, talked about hiring Xixi, and asked and answered with Zheng Zheng.

Zheng sat down and talked about his previous teaching experience, which can be regarded as neither humble nor arrogant.

Cao listened to it. Nodding. It's good, if you change to someone else, you have to "keep it." The golden mean, no matter what happens in your heart, you must "humble" a few words in your mouth.

Zheng Zan is real, he didn't brag about how he was, but bluntly said his shortcomings in Bagu.

That means. It was because the students here were still young that he found a museum; If it is the age of the exam, he is not good at being cheeky, so he can save the wrong children.

Cheng Meng appeared on the side. Secretly looked at Cao Yu and looked at it like this. Cao Mei really didn't know that the Zheng Bian in front of him still had a relationship with him.

Cheng Mengxian was quite happy, fortunately he didn't mention this paragraph much, otherwise Cao Mei might think that Zheng Su was clinging to the powerful and despised

Inside the Stable Gate. Prince Yong's Mansion.

Nian Xi wore a new patch of clothes, bowed down and said, "The slave thanked the prince for mentioning it." Small.

The fourth elder brother snorted coldly, glared at him, and said, "I have begged to go to the thirteenth master, do you dare to refuse you?" It's just that this time you are relieved, and you have to save it, there is no next time! ”

Nian Xi hurriedly said: "The slave knows, and he no longer dares to bother the prince because of the slave's private affairs." ”

The fourth elder brother scolded twice, and when he saw that he was obedient, his face softened slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "Fujin and your aunt have been talking about you for the past two days." Go and say hello to them

Inside the Xizhi Gate, Li House.

Li Cheng glared at Li Yu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, is there a list in the end?"
