Chapter 33: From the Top to the Bottom
Li Dong couldn't cry or laugh, but Su Ye agreed, "I think Jiu Niangzi is right, this is lying." ”
"A-Niang loves my sister so much, if I knew that my sister didn't eat my favorite salted brown seeds, she would definitely be sad and cry, and I would be sad and dying now." Li Xia continued.
"Sixth lady, I think the ninth lady is right, the sixth lady is like this, this is not considerate of others, this is adding to the old lady." Su Ye sat sideways next to the two.
Li Xia kept nodding, she really liked Su Ye so much!
"And me, I'm also very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that I want to die! There is also the fifth brother, the fifth brother is even more uncomfortable, and the sixth brother, the sixth brother is the most uncomfortable, everyone feels sorry for my sister, everyone is uncomfortable, Su Ye is also uncomfortable, right? ”
"Jiu Niangzi is right, Liu Niangzi, you have to change your temper, for the sake of others, just stand in the shoes of others and think about it, if Jiu Niangzi is like Liu Niangzi, will Liu Niangzi be uncomfortable?"
Li Xia was about to applaud Su Ye, she knew that Su Ye was sensible, but she didn't expect her to be so sensible now.
Li Dong's face turned a little pale, and he forced a smile: "Look at the two of you...... I know. ”

When Li Wenshan knocked on the door and entered Li Xianling's study, the depression on Li Xianling's face had not yet dissipated.
"It's not going well in the yamen today?" Li Wenshan looked at his father with a look of concern, Li Xianling barely cheered up, shook his head and smiled: "There are two masters in the yamen, what can be the matter?" Be...... Didn't sleep well last night. ”
Li Xianling made an excuse to prevaricate, and quickly diverted the conversation, "The ancient mountain chief of Wansong Academy and those gentlemen are all erudite people, and it is only a few days before the exam, why did you run out again if you don't concentrate on studying?" ”
"I came to Daddy because of my studies." Li Wenshan said with a smile: "My son has been reading and studying in the past few days, and there are many places that are confused, and the more he reads, the more he reads, some places are simply unable to read, and his son thinks that he still has to find a gentleman to guide and guide." ”
"Why didn't you come and ask me?"
"I've been looking for Daddy a few times," Li Wenshan looked distressed, "How can I talk to Daddy?" Daddy is either talking to the county lieutenant, or talking to the two masters on business, or going out to check the farming or something, as well as adjudicating the case, all of which can't be disturbed, Daddy is too busy. ”
Li Xianling nodded, it is true, he is busy in the yamen all day, and often he doesn't even have an empty cup of tea for An Ansheng. Where is the gentleman who might have pointed out his son? Hengshan is such a small county, and there is not even a single person, so go to Hangzhou City to find it? Hangzhou City must have it, but he is not familiar with it......
"Daddy, that time in Jiangning Mansion, I heard Brother Song of the uncle's family say that there is a Mr. Qin in their house, and his knowledge and conduct are excellent, even Weng Weng is full of praise, Brother Song also said that Mr. Qin is very yearning for the excellent scenery of Hangzhou, and said that he wants to live in Hangzhou for a while, Brother Song also asked me to take care of Mr. Qin, or, I will ask Brother Song, see if this Mr. Qin has come to Hangzhou, if he is in Hangzhou, I will ask him to live in Hengshan County for a few days to ask for advice or two, and when I am admitted to Wansong Academy, if he is still in Hangzhou, he will continue to ask for advice, what do you see?"
Li Wenshan pondered these words and considered it again, Li Xianling frowned tightly and did not speak, this Mr. Qin he knew, he had a good relationship with the boss twenty years ago, and he was a very useful staff member around the boss......
"This Mr. Qin is an old man from Bofu, and he is very relied on by your uncle, he is a person who does great things, how can he have time to teach you?" Li Xianling shook his head.
"If you are willing to give it a try, you will know," Li Wenshan immediately hit the snake with the stick as soon as he heard the words, "I look at this, Daddy just shouldn't know about this matter, I wrote to Brother Song, if you are willing, if you are willing, if you are not, you will not be willing!" Anyway, Daddy doesn't know, what does Daddy think? ”
Li Xianling's brows furrowed and loosened, loosened and frowned, his son's academic knowledge, the future of the imperial examination, this is the biggest thing...... After hesitating for a moment, Li Xianling nodded and said, "Don't say too much, just ask casually, since he asked you to take care of it, it is also courtesy for you to ask." ”
"Daddy, don't worry!" Li Wenshan smiled.

Mrs. Zhong was sick for two days, and when she saw that Li Zhixian just didn't spit out, she got better, and in the evening, she left the county yamen house and went to Yadong Lane to talk to Mrs. Yang.
Yang Dazi's nephew Yang Da and his daughter-in-law supported a small food stall to support their families, and they just came back from the stall at this time, and when they saw that Mrs. Zhong was coming, Yang Da hurriedly dropped the work in his hand and went out to buy wine and vegetables.
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Yang drank very well, and a jar of wine quickly bottomed out, and Mrs. Yang took the money out and asked Yang Da to buy a big jar again.
“…… This family, if I hadn't broken my heart, would I be where I am today? I'm not here for this home? For their surname Li...... Something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs! A litter of wolf hearts and dog lungs. Mrs. Zhong was in a bad mood, she drank violently, and after a while, she was already half drunk, and she didn't complain about her grievances, so she began to curse non-stop.
Mrs. Yang poured her wine again, and persuaded her words: "No matter how you didn't give birth to yourself, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, you still have to plan for yourself." You have to rely on it, but you can't rely on it all. ”
"I treat him as my own son!" Mrs. Zhong grumbled and scolded, "I'm doing this for his good!" He's a good family! What, if not for me...... Belch...... What is it...... I'm telling you! Such a good thing, I can't say anything to him, this family, I have the final say! Such a great opportunity...... Can you stand him? ”
Mrs. Zhong patted the table, and Mrs. Yang hurriedly moved the cup in, so as not to fall and break, "Old sister, let me say don't worry, take my look, this family business...... It's not a family affair, but it's not good, your sister Dong, a serious official little lady, and there is the Hou Mansion behind her, and there is an uncle who is a first-class official, it's not that you can't find a good ......."
"You know!" Old Lady Zhong spat on the ground, "The Hou Mansion has long since broken off contact with them!" This ...... in the future," Mrs. Zhong moved and moved closer to Mrs. Yang, "I just said that you are a fool, did I tell you?" My deed is still in the hands of that old immortal evil woman, my old lady...... Belch! It's a slave! ”
Mrs. Zhong burped, and Mrs. Yang hurriedly added wine to her.
"Can't get on the table! Let me tell you, you don't understand the rules of this noble family! The first one, there is a difference between the top and bottom, and it is bigger than the sky! I was in Nahou Mansion back then...... A litter of eight things, even eating a meal layer by layer, eight things! You've been in the bottom nine all your life, you don't understand! ”
