128 Not borrowed

Mr. Gu walked all the way, pondering Li Xixian's child all the way.

He just deliberately took the book, and he didn't pay attention to this wave of people who poured in, but he didn't mean anything else - since an old friend wrote a handwritten letter recommending Li Xixian to enroll, then no matter how dull this student is, he will accept it.

The gesture just now was just to try this child's character.

This kid looks pampered and not shocked, worthy of the handwritten letter from his old friend, and worthy of his own Xingzhi Academy.

Although the family is a villager, they are all clean and tidy, and they are also very polite to themselves.

also prepared a sincere bundle according to the ceremony, which shows that he is sensible.

Even if this child has no foundation, but he has a good character foundation and a good heart to learn, he will naturally be able to learn well.

Mr. Gu didn't pay attention, he hadn't paid such attention to any student for a long time.

On weekdays, I enjoy peach blossoms, drink wine, draw a few strokes, occasionally flip through books, gather with relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays, and sing poems and songs with friends......

The small days are both chic and elegant, and very down-to-earth. Not to mention how comfortable it is.

As for teaching and educating people, he has his own professors and teachers in the academy to do it, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

But at this moment, he inexplicably became a little interested in Li Xixian.

After all, if it's just a good character, I'm afraid I may not be able to ask a friend to write this letter of recommendation, right?

……

The Li family waited until Mr. Gu was gone before letting out a long breath.

The old lady Qiao Ximei said worriedly:

"I still have to buy books......

Li Yunxin smiled:

"My uncle and Brother Xiwen are both scholars. My brother can borrow Brother Xiwen's old book first. If there is no surplus of old books in Brother Xiwen's place, it will not be too late for us to buy them. ”

With one less person and three salutes, the space on the donkey cart was much wider.

The group walked out of the gate of the academy, got into the donkey cart, and swayed to the courtyard of Li Huai's house.

Qiao Ximei's expression was a little trance-like.

She recalled the feeling of confusion and helplessness, anger and humiliation when she returned to the town and just found out that the eldest family was deceiving her.

Now that I went to the boss, how would the Cao family treat her mother-in-law?

Now that the boss's wings are stiff, I'm afraid that I know that I won't really tear my face with him, so I have nothing to fear?

Along the way, the old lady kept thinking about her thoughts, and Li Yunxin sat beside her, watching her face change unpredictably, and her mood also changed unpredictably.

There's no way, my gold finger is probably a little lonely because I haven't been active for too long, so along the way, the old lady's head has been floating out......

Li Yunxin felt that he was reading a comic, and he could see the emotions hidden in the old lady's heart.

And the combination of this emotion and the expression on Qiao Ximei's face made Li Yunxin feel very surprised.

It turned out that this was what she meant by frowning......

It turned out that this was what she meant by pursing her lips......

It turned out that this is what she meant by rolling her eyes like this......

……

Xingzhi Academy is not too far from Li Huai's house, and the little black donkey walked for less than two quarters of an hour before it arrived.

The old couple took Li Yunxin into the carriage and waited, and asked Li Tong to knock on the door first.

The old man who guarded the door asked Li Tong's origin in a few sentences, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard to spread the word.

After a while, he turned around, opened the gate, demolished the threshold, and welcomed Li Tong and the little donkey cart in.

After walking a few steps into the courtyard, I saw Cao Shi with a smile on his face, and Shi Shiran greeted him:

"The fifth brother is here. Are there five siblings in the car? What kind of wind is blowing you two here?

Is something going on at home?

How is our father and mother's health?

Is Sister Zhu safe at home? But naughty with your sisters? ”

Cao's words were like firecrackers, crackling non-stop. Li Tong Shili didn't have time to say anything, and he was hit with a large number of questions on his face.

But Cao's overly enthusiastic greetings have always been floating in the air. asked a lot of questions in vain, but there was no room for Li Tong to answer.

Li Tong smiled, and when Cao finished asking in one breath, he kept saying that he wanted to leave Li Tong at home for lunch, and Li Tong said lightly:

"Everything is fine at home, my father and mother are in good health, Sister Zhu is also very sensible, sister-in-law don't worry."

The Cao family even omitted the politeness of letting him go into the house: "That fifth brother, you are here today......

"Sister-in-law, I sent my father and mother. Let my father and mother tell you. ”

Li Tong lifted the curtain of the green cloth car, and the old couple got out of the car slowly and leisurely.

Li Yunxin was the last to jump out.

Cao Shi suddenly felt embarrassed and panicked that his lie had been exposed, and his eyes widened in shock: "Dad, mother, why is your second elder here?" ”

Seeing Li Yunxin get out of the car, he was even more puzzled: "Why did Sister Xin come with her?" ”

"Auntie is well."

Li Yunxin did not directly answer Cao's question, but stood still first and made a blessing like a little adult.

Cao Shi looked at Li Yunxin's down-to-earth and generous appearance, but he couldn't help but feel a little blocked.

She intuitively thought that this dead girl would come to the door, and it would be no good for her.

The memory of being stiffened by Li Yunxin a few days ago instantly poured out, making Cao Shi suddenly feel a headache and a stomachache, and he was uncomfortable everywhere all over his body.

Li Yunxin smiled:

"Auntie, I haven't had time to tell you yet, we are sending my brother to the academy today. No, my grandfather and my grandmother miss Brother Ye, so I stopped by to take a look. ”

As the first of the great-grandchildren of the old Li family, Li Ye is naturally deeply loved by the second elder.

Cao Shi consciously found a reason, but refused with a smile:

"Brother Ye just fell asleep, it's not good to see the wind at this time, wait for him to wake up later, and my father and mother will see it again."

It's just that, thinking of what Li Yunxin just said, Cao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

"Has Brother Wen returned to the old mansion? When? Why don't I know? ”

The old lady Qiao Ximei looked at Cao Shi and smiled slightly:

"It's not Brother Wen.

Brother Wen has a lot of schoolwork, where is the spare time to go back to the old house?

It's Brother Xian.

I saw that Brother Xian'er was a good seedling, filial and smart, and a good seedling, so I sent him to the town to study for a few days.

I don't expect him to be very productive in the future. Anyway, if you can recognize a few words, you can read the notices posted on the city wall, and don't be the blind man who opens his eyes. ”

This remark made Cao's face look difficult to look at in an instant.

What does this mean by old lady?

If a farmer's family wants to support a scholar, it has to raise the strength of the whole family and even the whole clan! What a luxury, what a noble thing it is to study! Why does he want to study?

Besides, Lao Li's family has Brother Wen who is studying and studying, isn't it enough?

Could it be that the old lady is demonstrating with her? Could it be that Qiao Ximei was deliberately slapping her in the face?

Or is it that where did the old lady make a windfall without an owner?

Cao's eyes swept over the donkey cart covered with green cloth, thinking about it, if it wasn't for a windfall, where could he afford a donkey cart?

Cao's tone instantly became enthusiastic.

With his forbearant and distorted face, coupled with a fake and enthusiastic tone, Li Yunxin suddenly felt that goosebumps were pouring out of his body.

When the old lady Qiao Ximei explained her intentions, Cao Shi showed a triumphant and slightly sarcastic smile, and refused without hesitation:

"Oh, that's not going to work.

Brother Wen's father said that books must be reviewed from time to time.

It's not that if you don't use it now, it's useless.

Brother Xian has to go to school, but he still has to buy a few new books for his own use.

If you really can't bear this silver, let Brother Xian borrow it from Mr. and copy it.

How good it is to practice calligraphy and get books. ”
