Li Zongyan of the Li family was easy to find, and when Fu Zhenyu and Cang Zijian arrived, Li Zongyan went home with firewood. Without opening his mouth, Fu Zhenyu gave up his hand to Cang Zijian: "Five-body throws to the ground." ”

After speaking, Fu Zhenyu jumped out of the carriage, went straight to the young man, and stopped the person: "Hello, do you remember me?" ”

Cang Zijian also got out of the carriage, led the horse forward, and stood beside Fu Zhenyu.

A few months ago, Fu Zhenyu was a man, lively and cheerful, and now he is the same outfit, the same playful; And Cang Zijian beside her is still as blunt as before, not easy to mess with, Li Zongyan recognized people at a glance.

"Hello, remember, you are from Nanhu Academy."

Fu Zhenyu grinned, without the appearance of a city mansion, and said directly: "Why didn't you go to Zhongtian Academy later?" ”

"It's inconvenient now, I'll go in the future." Li Zongyan, who had made a decision, smiled lightly, and did not feel that Fu Zhenyu was abrupt, and after patiently answering, he boldly guessed: "The two of you came to Li Lou, are you looking for me?" ”

"Yes and no. It's noon, can you care about our meal? ”

Can a person's temperament be so cheerful? Li Zongyan forgot to answer.

Cang Zijian said: "Don't care, if it's inconvenient, just say it directly, let's go to other people's houses in the village the same." ”

Li Zongyan came back to his senses and said busily: "It's convenient." There are no meat and eggs at home, only a few fruits and vegetables, don't dislike it. ”

"No, it won't."

Fu Zhenyu and Cang Zijian said at the same time, bolting the horse under the elm money tree in front of the Li family, Li Zongyan took the two into the house, introduced the people to the family, and also introduced the people of the Li family.

The old lady is dead, but the old lady is still alive; Li Zongyan has both parents, and has three younger brothers and a younger sister. Although they are from a peasant family, the people of the Li family are all white-skinned, especially the only Li Zongyan's sister Xiao Jasmine. Jasmine is seven years old, with big eyes, fair skin, and is very beautiful. The black and white eyes are all well-behaved, and people can't help but like it when they see it.

Fu Zhenyu liked the little girl very much, so he said: "If you know that you still have such a good-looking sister at home, I will bring some dolls made by my little aunt." It's not too late, I'll bring it to you next time I come over. Jasmine, what do you like? Puppy? Kitten? Or a bunny? ”

Jasmine was a little shy and a little curious, blinked in confusion, couldn't hold back, and asked Fu Zhenyu, "What is a little rabbit?" ”

Fu Zhenyu immediately found a better gift: "Haven't you seen it?" I'll go back and find two for you. ”

In the surprised gaze of the Li family, Cang Zijian explained to everyone: "My junior brother only has a seven-year-old brother, and that younger brother is so naughty, she has always wanted her sister, an obedient and well-behaved sister. When I saw my obedient sister, I wanted to take it home and raise it. ”

Li Zongyan thought of the little boy he saw that day, and said with a smile: "The Li family is poor, no matter whether it is a younger brother or sister, they are all the same obedient. ”

Old Mrs. Li snorted coldly and said, "Obedient? Then I told you to go to Zhongtian Academy to study, why didn't you go? ”

This is exactly what Fu Zhenyu and Cang Zijian want to know, and they can't help but look at Li Zongyan.

But when he saw the three brothers of the Li family, they all protected Jasmine and said, "Because grandma wants to sell my sister." ”

Although the Li family has a small amount of land, they have been living a tight life because they have been supporting three boys to study. At the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, when Zhengyang Zhixian went to see the prefect, he passed by Sanqiao Town, saw the little Lori Jasmine, and opened a sky-high price of 200 taels of silver to buy Jasmine.

Mrs. Li was excited.

Li Zongyan has a good talent for reading, but he is not a genius like Cang Zijian, and he is only slightly stronger than ordinary people. And because of his poor family, he understands the world better than Cangzijian. Other people's families buy a maid for only ten taels or twenty taels, and the idea of a bad harvest is also there. Two hundred taels, it can only be a plan, and I am afraid that the Li family will not agree, so I will smash people with silver.

Seeing that his grandmother was tempted, he expressed his opposition in a timely manner, and in exchange for Mrs. Li's scolding: "You feel sorry for the girl, I don't feel sorry?" It's not like all three of you boys are studying, the first days of the family are getting more and more difficult, a little silver to add two acres of land, can you save a few more money for you to study, right? I am a half-cut person who does not ask for food or drink, just for you, who is not angry, you are good, listen to what you say! ”

The grandfather and grandson argued.

As soon as I heard my grandmother say that it was because of the money, Li Zongyan's second brother, Li Zongchuan, who is thirteen years old this year, said: "If it is for this, I can do work, first for the eldest brother to study, and when the eldest brother reads it, I will go to study again." ”

Li Zongyan, as the eldest brother, could not let his younger brother be wronged, so he made a decision: "I'll do the work, you read it first." ”

After that, no matter how the Li family scolded, scolded and quarreled, Li Zongyan never spoke.

The old lady never dreamed that she was just induced to make a fortune for the family, and she would make a fuss like this. Wronged, the old lady said: "It's not for me to be an old woman who lets you read, if you don't read, you won't read, I see which one suffers!" ”

The grandparents and grandchildren are so stubborn with each other.

After listening to the simple experience, Fu Zhenyu didn't even have the heart to eat, and immediately took out the plan of Nanhu Academy, talked about Yu Li Zongyan in detail, and said, "Come to you and give you a privilege." After six years, if you can't pay back the money, you can let your sister work for the college for free for five years to pay off the debt. There is absolutely no loss in doing things in the academy, at least one, you can read and write for free. ”

Jasmine's three elder brothers can all study, but she is the only one in the family who can't go to school, hearing this, she looked at Fu Zhenyu with eager eyes, and asked, "Is what the little brother said true?" I'm a girl, can I read? ”

"Of course."

Fu Zhenyu replied simply, and almost patted his chest and said Am I not the same! To Kura's relief, she didn't.

Li Zongyan carefully looked at the clauses on one side, pointed to one of them, and said, "I'm afraid, I need another privilege." so that the two gentlemen may know that I am sixteen years old. ”

Although he is only one year old, he exceeds Fu Zhenyu's limited age.

It's not a big deal, Fu Zhenyu just needs to change her words and say that she wrote that she is one year old, but before that, she first said to Cang Zijian: "Senior brother, do you test him first?" ”

Li Zongyan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Cang Zijian replied: "Without him, Nanhu Academy is not accepted by everyone. That is, one of the applicants has already passed the county exam, and he still has to go through my assessment before he can decide whether to want it or not. ”

For learning, Li Zongyan is confident and promised on the spot.

The Li family has paper, ink, pen and inkstone, but before the meal is obtained, layers of paper are spread out on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the three brothers are ready, and Cang Zijian will make the question. In the first round of reciting the foundation, Li Xiaodi took the initiative to withdraw, and Cang Zijian's exam questions once again exceeded the "Four Books"; In the second round of trial poems, the second child was brushed down by Cang Zijian; In the third round, Li Zongyan took a stick of incense and answered the proposition given by Cang Zijian.

"The article is unsatisfactory, at most it will last until the third game of the county test, and the fourth game will not pass."

Outsiders only know that Li Zongyan did not pass the county exam last year, and they don't know where he folded, he really folded in the fourth game as Cang Zijian said.

At this time, Cang Zijian was even more excessive than Fu Zhenyu a few months ago, and directly gave Li Zongyan a big cake: "Enter Nanhu, I will teach you personally." If you are not afraid of hard work and work hard enough, I am sure enough to help you win the township test in Yihai year. ”

Senior brother, how optimistic about Li Zongyan is!
