It is the right thing to repay my sister and brother-in-law for their nurturing kindness. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As for the next step of letting the White Snake promise to repay the grace of saving his life, Ye Ke naturally would not object.
Whether it is the Huangmei version of the White Lady, or the **** version of the White Lady, or the White Lady of Xu Laowei, they are all beautiful and kind.
This kind of beauty can take the initiative to throw herself into her arms, and Ye Ke, as a man, will naturally not refuse.
What's more, there is a green snake next to the white snake, who is willing to be her maid.
What does a maid do? What does it say in the West Chamber, "If you have an amorous lady and a mandarin tent, how can you be willing to fold the quilt and make the bed." ā
It can be seen that the maid is the girl who has a room, and she is the role of Ping'er, with the white snake in hand, will the green snake be far away?
Don't blame Ye Ke's heart for his heart, since he was separated from Ye Xiuzhu's yin and yang, Ye Ke's heart has become incomparable, but it does not prevent him from pursuing the heart of martial arts.
The Red Light Buddha has three wives, and Hua Shuai gave up a flower for a forest, they all insisted on their hearts and served the people, there was no reason why Ye Ke couldn't do it.
In his previous life, he was always ridiculed on the Internet, Dong Yongcao was an immortal, Ning Caichen was a ghost, and Xu Xian was a snake. Luo Eleven didn't let go of even a single caterpillar.
In his previous life, this was a misunderstanding, because when these men were hehehehe, they cooperated with people under him, and they were beauties who had become humanoid after years of cultivation.
Otherwise, who would really sleep with something weird?
But then again, Xu Xian at this time, that is, Ye Ke, has the appearance of a weak scholar with a little white face, which meets the aesthetic standard of "everything is inferior, only reading is high" since Song Zhenzong, no wonder that beautiful snake will like it.
"Hanwen, don't stand stupidly, the meal is ready, come and eat."
Ye Ke smiled and said with an uplifted face: "It's so fragrant, the food my sister cooks is delicious?" ā
"Hanwen, your mouth is so sweet, it seems that you are really in good health."
Xu Jiaorong smiled and tapped Xu Xian's forehead, and her face and eyes were full of pampering.
Li Gongfu on the side smiled lightly, and the big Malaysian golden knife sat on the main seat, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, hurry up and eat!" ā
After being full of wine and food, Xu Jiaorong cleaned the plate with her hands and feet, Ye Ke looked at Li Gongfu and whispered: "Brother-in-law, I want to discuss something for you!" ā
"What's the matter?" Li Gongfu sat on the main seat, looked at his brother-in-law, and said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, I don't want to go to the academy anymore."
"What, you don't want to study for the imperial examination?" Li Gongfu was slightly stunned, and then exclaimed: "Then how can it be done?" Your sister is looking forward to you getting ahead, and your brother-in-law doesn't want you to be angry in the yamen all day long like me! ā
It is true that Li Gongfu is the head catcher of the county government, but unfortunately he has been in the yamen for a long time, has experienced too much black smoke and miasma, and is often bullied by the county and Tongzhi, and many times he has to carry the black pot, so he often has a breath in his heart.
At this moment, seeing that Xu Xian was so unpopular, he told his life experience.
Ye Ke shook his head and sighed: "Brother-in-law, don't you know, the imperial examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, and it is not easy to take the examination for a child, not to mention that it is a show, not to mention, there are so many places every year, more than half of them are given to rich and noble families, and the younger brother is not good at reading, so he can't squeeze it out this time." ā
Li Gongfu was silent.
As the old saying goes, the imperial examination is a rare way out for the children of poor families to advance, and the world thinks that the imperial examination is the best way for poor children to get ahead.
However, this humble family does not refer to a small family like Li Gongfu, but to a large landlord and gentry in the countryside.
There are no hundreds or thousands of acres of land in the family, there are no generations of children in the clan who have studied and become petty officials, the house of the patriarch is not a few into a few heavy, and the living room is not hung with a banner of "the world is insightful and knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article", you are embarrassed to call it a cold door?
Every time the township examination in the countryside is held, no matter how honest and virtuous the examiner is, when he thinks about selecting talents for the country, most of them will admit poor children instead of poor people.
The reason is that people occupy enough educational resources and have intertwined connections, and the examiner will be more or less influenced by them, so that most of the places in the selection will be reserved for these poor children.
Originally, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, a large part of the places were occupied by the children of the squires, and the remaining places were even less, those children of poor families not only had to raise cattle and plow the fields for their families, but also read and memorize, how could they be compared with the children of poor families who had no worries about food and clothing in terms of learning?
Not to mention that the landlord and squire's family is very sloppy, it is used for brainwashing, the landlord and squire's family is not a fool, and they will not indulge in wine, otherwise how to continue the family business, how to annex the land, how to squeeze the tenants? How to dig into the corners of feudalism?
Li Gongfu, as a family of small officials, became the head catcher in the county at a young age, and he couldn't be more familiar with these situations, and when he heard Xu Xian say this, he couldn't help but nod and said, "What you said makes sense, but you don't study to participate in the imperial examination, so what will you do in the future?" ā
"What, Hanwen doesn't want to read anymore? How does this work? It just so happened that Xu Jiaorong returned to the living room after cleaning the pots and pans, and couldn't help but be shocked when she heard Xianggong say that her younger brother didn't want to study.
Without waiting for Ye Ke to answer, Xu Jiaorong said bitterly: "Hanwen, when my parents died, I took my hand and told you to study hard, and take the Jinshi exam in the future, so that you can glorify your ancestors, and your sister and your brother-in-law will save money for you to go to school, why do you say that if you don't study, you won't study?" ā
"Look at what you think now, your body is thin, your shoulders can't resist, you can't lift your hands, you don't study and take the exam, how will you live in the future?"
"Besides, you don't study, how can your sister explain to her dead father, woo woo woo woo ......"
Xu Jiaorong couldn't help crying again as she spoke.
"Okay, okay, lady, don't cry yet, isn't Hanwen discussing with us, this kind of thing, how can he make his own decisions?" Li Gongfu hurriedly persuaded.
At this point, he is a gentleman, respects his wife very much, and does not play machismo.
Ye Ke also hurriedly said: "Sister, the fertility grace of my parents, the nurturing grace of my sister and brother-in-law, my younger brother is unforgettable." ā
"My younger brother also knows the truth that there is a golden house in the book, and he also wants to study hard, show his talent in the exam, and even enter the Jinshi, but you see, my younger brother has been studying hard, but he has not made any progress in his studies."
"Not only that, but because of the perennial study, the body was so weak that he fainted to the ground, which scared my sister to tears."
"If there is no progress in reading, and it leads to physical weakness, then why should you study? As the saying goes, all roads lead to ...... That, Tong Bianliang, all roads lead to Bianliang, as long as my brother has a mind and is willing to use his brains, he will definitely be able to make a career. ā
As soon as he said this, Li Gongfu nodded again and again, and even Xu Jiaorong stopped crying, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
Seeing this, Ye Ke took the opportunity to continue to fool, saying that a lot of small families from poor families have no future in studying, and they also delay maintaining the family business, which is really a crooked reason that the gains outweigh the losses, and it really makes sense to Xu Jiaorong.
Li Gongfu can be regarded as having seen through the world, and knows that with Xu Xian's embodiment in reading, it is difficult to make any progress in the imperial examination, and Xu Jiaorong, a woman from a Taoist family, saw that her husband and younger brother said so, so she believed it a little.
"That Hanwen, if you don't read, do you have any plans?"
Li Gongfu also said: "If there is anything you need to help, even if you ask, your brother-in-law will definitely help if he can!" ā
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Ye Ke thanked the brother-in-law first.
Then he said: "I have always studied in the academy, and I have not experienced the world, so I want to walk around the city and outside the city in the past few days to see if there is any direction to enter. ā
Xu Jiaorong said: "Otherwise, Hanwen, I am more familiar with the king of Qingyutang, and he also needs a helper there, or I will tell him, you go there to work!" ā
Li Gongfu nodded and said: "Yes, the so-called not a good appearance is a good doctor, I know that the Wang Yuan of Qingyutang has good character and medical skills, and if Hanwen goes, he will definitely be able to learn something." ā
Ye Ke shook his head: "I'm not going!" ā
