After all, the professors are the next generation of students who are fortunate enough to be slaughtered by the officials, and the funds are also allocated by the imperial court, so many of these poor children want to go up, except for the money needed to go to Kyoto for the imperial examination, the rest are saved.

It's just that there are a lot of flowers for the imperial examination in Kyoto, but Qi Laoxiu obviously had the confidence of the middle school but gave it up, one was unwilling to be an official, and the other was not enough money, so he retired and entered a private school to be a master.

Qi You looked at her quietly, and then said: "Sister Chun doesn't have to worry, after entering the county school, Zhixing and I can naturally take care of each other, and the place where we live is also ranked according to the re-examination ranking, and we will also live together when we arrive." ”

Chungui smiled, she wasn't worried about anything, but that day Miss Guo told him that among the students who took the imperial examination, these children always suffered from the bottom of the school, because of their limited vision, they didn't understand human feelings, and they didn't know the world, and it would be good if there was a teacher to guide them for a few days.

Just now, Qi You said that the master in the county school came down from Kyoto, and he just hoped that the county school would teach more than just knowledge.

Putting these many thoughts behind, Chun Gui nodded: "I only rest assured of you, I still have to worry about Zhixing's temperament every day." ”

Zhixing was a little weak when he heard this, and his heart was quite uncomfortable: "Sister-in-law, you relax, I have grown up." ”

Chungui lost his smile, it's only been a year, not to mention that he has jumped taller, he is still a talented man, but isn't he just growing up. Looking at these two people, Qi You also looked like an adult in an instant, and she didn't need to remind him more.

"Okay, okay, I'll not say more."

Zhixing's eyes were sour: "Sister-in-law, you better say a few more words." ”

I think it's the spring return that scares him, and it's too much of a strong emotion when he is about to leave home.

Chungui's heart is full of sourness, but he also has a lot of feelings.

"What I want to say is to dress in the cold, don't be greedy for cold in the cold, study hard, don't quarrel with others, and discuss everything with each other."

The more she spoke, the redder Zhixing's eyes became, and then she lowered her head. On the contrary, it was Qi You, who had been looking at her with bated breath, Chun Gui met his eyes, the two looked at each other, Chun Gui was still thinking about words, Qi You's throat had a burst of astringency, and there were emotions that even he didn't understand.

Cai Shi on the side shook his head: "It's done, if you talk about it, Zhixing will cry for such an adult." ”

Chun Gui looked at Zhixing helplessly, picked it up and said a few words of comfort and comfort.

Qi You looked out the window, and in his ears was the sound of Chungui's broken words, and suddenly, he couldn't tell whether the emotions that came up were difficult to give up or something else.

After staying for a while, the two went to prepare their own clothes and some small items, and only a few children and Cai were left in the room.

Cai Shi said while embroidering a handkerchief: "Now that you have hope, think about it before you do it, don't have this kind of thing again." ”

Chungui touched his lower back, and his heart was a little stunned.

"Sister Cai is right."

"Zhixing and Qi You are going, I don't have any big things here, and they will always be in charge of their own study. That's right, Sister Cai. Chungui continued: "In two days, they will go to the county school, you can help me talk to Brother Li, and he will help deliver it." ”

Half an hour's walk is also tiring.

"Cheng, I'll go back to him."

Spring return: "In the past few days, Brother Li has borrowed the donkey cart from the village chief's house, and we have taken advantage of their convenience, and when I get better after a while, I have to thank them." ”

Cai didn't think about how Chungui entrusted this matter to her, but couldn't help but respond, and when she heard Chungui talk about this, she stopped embroidering the veil.

"As it happens, I was just going to talk to you."

"The donkey cart of the village chief's house is also put away, and Li Zhi's work in the town is still a month, so he directly rented it with the money, and he didn't let the village chief suffer a loss."

Chungui listened: "This is also convenient." ”

Speaking of this, Cai's hand pinching the handkerchief tightened, and his slightly flushed face seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Spring Returns....... I've got something else going on here. ”

Cai's first time he was stumbling, and Chun Gui thought about it, and he knew that he must have hooked up with Li Zhicun.

"Sister Cai, all you have to say is that there is nothing we can not say."

She thought that Cai's hesitation was so hesitant that she was going to tell her about Li Zhicun, but it wasn't.

"I think I still go to the town every day to sell my buns."

Chungui smiled: "This is a good thing, it just so happens that you are also familiar with that place, Xiaobao and they went to private school again, and you happen to have time to do this." ”

Hearing Chungui say this, Cai's was still a little embarrassed: "It's just that I'm going, and I'll want you to be home alone before noon, but I will definitely be able to come back before noon to cook." ”

Seeing that she was so embarrassed, Chungui smiled helplessly: "Okay, Sister Cai, it's not like I can't move." ”

She said this, but the look on Cai's face was still hesitant, and it was strange to return in spring.

"Sister Cai, what's wrong with you?"

Cai Shi looked at her, and then at a few children sitting in a group, their faces were a little red, and the handkerchief in their hands was wrinkled.

Seeing this, Chungui asked Xiaobao to take Zhiping Zhimin out and asked again.

She gritted her teeth: "Just ..... That's Li Zhicun, see that I have to go to the town every day....... It just so happened that he didn't rent a donkey cart. ”

Chungui tilted his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes: "And then?" ”

And then ....... Then he gave me a ride. ”

Chungui finally laughed out loud: "Sister Cai, I'm afraid it wasn't Brother Li who rented the donkey cart to see you off, right?" ”

Cai's face turned red suddenly when he heard this, his eyes were shy, and he remembered something, and his face turned white for a moment: "...... You, Spring Return, don't you know ......."

Chungui shook her hand, hid his smile, and nodded seriously: "I know." ”

Seeing that Cai's eyes were red, Chun Gui soothed his clasped hands: "Sister Cai, don't worry, just do what you have to do." ”

"I told you during the Chinese New Year that if you find someone to love one day, I will prepare a dowry for you. Brother Li is a good person, not far away, we can still be sisters for a long time. ”

"Yes...... But I'm a ...... after all And he never had a wife. ”

Chungui shook his head: "Others are other people's thoughts, in my place, you are happy, and not regretting it is the best decision." ”

Cai's tears have already fallen, these days she is happy to be able to communicate with Li Zhicun, but she is afraid that her identity will be talked about by others with Li Zhicun, so she doesn't even dare to tell her about the return of spring.

"That'...... Then I'll go! ”

Chungui smiled: "Go!" ”

Cai cried and laughed, and nodded again and again.

After the second day, Qi You Zhixing led a few small ones to the private school, and Cai's day was a little brighter, and Li Zhicun's donkey cart was loaded with three baskets of steamed buns.

Chungui lay quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of the donkey cart "da-da-da", and laughed.

-

In the past few days, there have been a group of seven or eight-year-old children coming to the door of Qi Lao Xiucai's house, and there are all running here from the town. Zhixing and Qi You are both from Qi Lao Xiucai's disciples, and this head is out. On the first day after the hospital exam, I went to a private school, and the door was full of people early in the morning.

Seeing that Zhixing and Qi You brought a few small ones over, the crowd was in an uproar.

Some students from the town have seen people for the first time.

The show is alive and well, and everyone wants to come forward to take a few more looks.

"See! This is the pair of brothers who were admitted to the exam! ”

The students of Sweetwater Village shook their heads and said, "Qi You and Zhixing are not two brothers. ”

"Huh? How did I hear about ......"

The man snorted, and there was a bit of smugness in his tone: "You outsiders don't know." ”

As he spoke, he talked to the few people who had come from the town.

Zhiping was a little proud when he heard this, and he swept over a group of children of the same age vividly, and he wanted to have a tail to the sky.

After a while, Qi Laoxiu opened the door, and after seeing the situation, he said leisurely: "Come in." ”

A few more sets of tables and chairs were added to the room, and after everyone sat down, they were all full, and Qi Laoxiu called Zhixing and Qi You out after putting down the sentence and reading by himself.

"The county school is in a hurry, have you two prepared books, pen and ink and clothes?"

Qi You nodded and said, "It's ready, thank you teacher." ”

Qi Xiucai waved his hand: "I don't have anything to teach you two here." To tell you the truth, I didn't do much to achieve today's achievements or greater creation, and it was up to you to do it yourself. ”

It is rare for decades to be a talent before the age of seventeen or eighteen, and the talent must always account for half of it.

Zhixing and Qi You glanced at each other and didn't dare to make a sound.

Qi Xiucai smiled: "It's done, you two can afford this head." ”

"I told all of you before the prefectural school exam, and there is nothing more to say." Qi Xiucai said and took out a letter from his arms: "There is only one more, and I guess it can help you two." ”

He handed the letter to Qi You: "The friend who drank with me a few years ago retired from Kyoto, although he was not a high official position before he retired, he was also a delicate old fox, not long ago he was a half-moon teacher for a little gentleman, and the little gentleman didn't like to study, so he refused to learn, so he was so angry that he jumped to his feet, and now it was the start of the county school, he simply quit his job and went to the county school." ”

"Just teach you students."

Zhixing's eyes lit up: "It turns out that the teacher who came down from Kyoto is your friend, Master!" ”

Qi Xiucai glanced at him angrily: "Don't rely on him to be familiar with me, he is not as good as me, if you are a little stubborn, he has a way to treat you." Take this letter, and give it to him, and he will take care of you for me. ”

Zhixing bowed again and again, and said with a smile: "Students are taught and taught!" ”

The two said something more, Qi You held the letter in his hand, and listened quietly on the side, a sense of familiarity suddenly flashed in his mind......

The teacher who came down from Kyoto, Xiao Xuan?

Qi You: ......

Guo Ruyi also mentioned it when he came to collect the fan picture, saying that he had found a master for Guo Zhanpeng who had retired from Kyoto, could it be that teacher......

Qi You shook his head and didn't think about it.

Qi Xiucai should have explained everything, and when he turned around to enter the house, he remembered something and mentioned it in passing: "My friend brought a student here, who is two or three years older than the two of you, and he is also a showman, so he must also be going to study in the county." That's really going around Kyoto, and you two can make more friends with him when you get there. ”

Zhixing Qi You nodded in response, and then he relieved himself and turned around and entered the inner hall.

After a while, the sound of reading aloud was heard.

And Zhixing and Qi You turned around and walked forward, waiting for another world.
