This man just doesn't talk about it.

Outside the yamen, Li Kui yawned, clasped the eye droppings in the corners of his eyes, and came to the county office with a tired look. I memorized the book for two days in the dark, and it was the time when I was dizzy.

When I entered the yamen, I happened to meet Li Qing, who was temporarily skipping work. This former head catcher in Yishui County. In the past, walking on the street was the rhythm of the wind, the footsteps were heavy and powerful, clicking, and the spirit was terrible. But now? Looking at him again, there is no trace of his past demeanor, but there is a kind of sorrow between his eyebrows.

In Li Kui's impression, Li Qing has been more and more careful with what he says to him recently, and he is not as casual as when they first met. Li Kui can probably guess some of the reasons for this. He became a student of the county order, and in Yishui County, he basically belonged to a small group of characters who could walk sideways.

But there is a time limit, three years.

The magistrate of the Great Song Dynasty served for three years, and after three years, Zhou Yuan would leave Yishui County. At that time, if Li Kui does not accumulate enough confidence, his good days of power and fortune will come to an end.

Of course, Li Kui is not such a person, he thinks he has a sense of justice, and he has recently eliminated a group of evil bandits, and he has achieved remarkable results.

But for Li Qing, Li Kui felt a little guilty, if he hadn't been talking nonsense in front of the county yamen, Li Qing would not have been so determined to get rid of the identity of the head catcher, just for his son Li Yun to be able to go out of the imperial examination. The main thing is that he also saw that Li Yun is definitely not the material for the imperial examination. But as soon as he saw Li Yun's kid who wanted to cut him every time he saw him, but he didn't have enough confidence, the guilt the size of a fingernail in his heart disappeared.

Li Yun too, he didn't offend this guy at the beginning, why did he roll his eyes at him when they met for the first time?

Although the gentleman is not a cautious person, he just can't get used to this little family...... There's no way, that's how upright you are.

"Uncle Qing, you're on duty today!" Li Kui then greeted and was about to raise his legs to enter the yamen.

Li Qing didn't expect to tell Zhou Yuan about Li Kui just now, and in a blink of an eye, he met the main master, and carefully pulled Li Kui to the beginning of the seclusion of the yamen, and said: "Li Kui, just now the eldest master asked about you, and I said something. ”

Li Kui wondered, could it be that his heroic act of splitting the Juyi Hall had already alarmed the ground in Yizhou, and the five counties in one state already knew about it? But if you think about it carefully, something is wrong, today's news transmission is not so fast, and everyone knows it in the blink of an eye, how is it possible? But I was worried, after all, Zhou Yuan accepted him as a disciple, but because of his studious attitude, he accepted it. If Zhou Yuan knew that his disciples were not scholars, but full demon kings, Zhou Yuan would probably react excessively because of his reputation.

Of course, Li Kui is rich now, so don't panic.

But what about face? The notoriety of being expelled from the division by Zhou Yuan will accompany him for the rest of his life. What a shame!

Just when Li Kui was thinking wildly, Li Qing explained: "Ten days ago, when you left the county seat, how many people saw it, and I didn't dare to cover for you. I can only tell the truth, there is something in the clan that needs the clansmen to come forward, so you went to the countryside. ”

Li Kui blinked his eyes for a while, a little puzzled, Li Qing actually deceived the county order for him?

But Li Qing said: "Li Kui, you are now worshipping under the door of the eldest master, what a good opportunity this is." You must know that my generation of villagers may not be able to get out of this Yizhou boundary in my life, and if you want to get ahead, you must also succeed in your studies. It's such a good opportunity, you have to seize it. Don't let the third uncle down. ”

"Thank you Uncle Qing for reminding me, the kid understands." Li Kui is sincerely grateful, Li Qing is not affectionate with him, but he can persuade him to study well so sincerely. Such a person, no matter how bad he is, will not harm him. Naturally, he can gain his respect.

"Uncle Qing, the teacher is still waiting to test my knowledge, so I'll go in first."

Li Qing stretched out his hand to stop Li Kui, but his open mouth couldn't make a sound. He looked at Li Kui's back enviously, if his Yun'er could also worship under the door of the eldest master, he would be relieved. Thinking of this, Li Qing gritted his back molars and secretly decided that he had to train his son well when he went back, and he couldn't waste his time.

In the study, Li Kui bowed and said, "Teacher! ”

"You're back, are things going well?" Zhou Yuan laughed at himself, waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about it later, endorse it first." ”

……

"Obey the grave of the other, cut down its strips. If you don't see a gentleman, you are like starving. ”

"Green clothes, green clothes and yellow clothes. The worries of the heart, the maintenance of it! ”

"Zi said: The ancients can't speak, and they can't be caught!"

Zai Yu sleeps in the day, and the son says: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, and the wall of dung cannot be encircled!" Yu Yu and He Xu? Zi said: "I am also a person, listen to his words and believe in his deeds; Now I am also in the people, listen to their words and watch their deeds. Yu Yu and change is. ”

……

In the past half month, Zhou Yuan set a task for Li Kui to be ten poems of "Southern Zhou", fourteen ancient poems of "Zhaonan", and five chapters of "Analects". For ordinary readers, this learning task is not insignificant, but Zhou Yuan thinks that Li Kui has been abandoned for several years, and now that he has started studying, he has lagged behind other students a lot, how can he catch up without working hard?

Of course, the opponent that Zhou Yuan set for Li Kui was definitely not an opponent of Li Yun's level.

Rather, they are students who have studied hard in Taixue for many years, or outstanding students from all over the south. There is only one purpose, to pass the provincial examination and nominate for the palace examination. In other words, Li Kui's opponents are only those future Jinshi, and there are no other opponents.

Under this request, Zhou Yuan had to help the seedlings grow and constantly squeeze Li Kui's learning progress.

Although Li Kui completed the task he assigned, he stumbled in the middle and was very unhappy. It's not as easy as when I first came to the school.

During this period, Zhou Yuan frowned many times, but finally held back and did not interrupt Li Kui's recitation.

But for him, apparently, it was very dissatisfied. The next thing is to ask questions, although Zhou Yuan has doubts in his heart, but when teaching, he does not want to be interrupted: "Zi is gentle and strong, powerful but not fierce, respectful and peaceful!" Why? ”

Li Kui replied: "The master is amiable and cannot be offended, power is different from fierceness, fierceness is the same as violence, why is it fierce." The saint is all clear, yin and yang are virtuous, so those who are full of righteousness floating in the appearance are not covered like this, and they should be nourished in it. ”

"Not bad!" Zhou Yuan shook his head, and then asked a few more questions.

After Li Kui answered all the questions, Zhou Yuan closed the book. Changing to a relatively comfortable sitting position, he asked Li Kui: "The first problem I know why I am a teacher is the state of a saint?"

Li Kui secretly complained in his heart, and he was slandered: It's not that I dislike my vulgarity. But you can't say that, can you? He had no choice but to pick up a good one: "The teacher is because the kid was born in the mountains and forests, and he is used to the wilderness, so he uses the practice of the saint to warn the students not to forget the foundation of self-cultivation." ”

"yes, it's best if you understand." Zhou Yuan paused and then asked, "I heard that you left the city ten days ago?" Is something happening in the clan that needs help from the teacher? “

"This ......"

"What do you do, you can know the villain's behavior." Zhou Yuan saw Li Kui's teasing appearance, he was unhappy in his heart, and asked with a straight face.

Li Kuixin said that he is a sincere person!

It is not in his nature to tell lies and deceive people. Dead is dead, and the heart is just going to say things, dead ball. "Teacher, the matter has been settled. The main reason is that the disciple heard that the family wealth of Han Inspector's father-in-law was robbed by the thieves of Niubei Mountain, and Han Inspector helped the disciple's clansmen. So, the disciple went to help and asked for it. ”

"You're going to help with it?" Didn't Zhou Yuan look down on Li Kui, are the thieves easy to mess with? You say you want to go, you can come? Especially his own students, who don't know how to go against the bandits. There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Li Kui is good, and wherever there is danger, he will stick to it. It was already scary enough to fight a tiger at the beginning, but now it's good, and it's just bold to go to find the stubble of the bandits. The thieves of Niubei Mountain, the Huaiyang Army, can't do anything about them, he is a hairy boy, what good results can he have? If you're a little unlucky, you may have to play with your life. When Zhou Yuan thought of this, his face was very wrong, so he almost sneered and mocked: "Are the thieves willing to return it to you?" ”

"Naturally, I don't want to." Li Kui said stiffly.

Zhou Yuan laughed, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Kui hitting a wall, anyway, this kid was bold, which always made him, a teacher, feel a kind of frightened nervousness: "What happened later? Grey back? ”

"No, it's mainly the students who thought of the saint's admonition...... It gave the disciples courage. ”

"When did the saint tell you that you can't get along with the bandits?"

"Sage Yun: If you don't see righteousness, you don't have courage. The students couldn't stand the arrogance of the bandits, so they hit the bandits' nest and had to annihilate the bandits. By the way, he rescued many women from good families who were plundered to the mountains by bandits. Li Kui shyly felt that his realm had improved a lot all of a sudden.

Hum......

Needless to say, Zhou Yuan felt that Li Kui was bragging. It's nothing for a reader to brag about the wind and snow, but deliberately reversing black and white involves character. Zhou Yuan, who was about to go crazy, was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Kuaiyi.

Newspaper –

"Master, the bandits in Niubei Mountain have been exterminated, and none of the bandits have escaped the net, this is an official document, and please seal it." Zhou Yuan looked at the official document sent by Kuaiyi and was stunned. After a long time, he waved his arm weakly and asked Li Kui to go to eat first.

Looking at Li Kui's disappearing back, Zhou Yuan couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, other people's families accepted disciples, but it was worry-free. And what about yourself? Without paying attention, his own students went out to destroy a thief's cottage, and turned around and endorsed it as if no one was fine. Can this disciple still have it?

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan was stunned, since Li Kui set off ten days ago to participate in the extermination of the cottage of Niubei Mountain, then he should have prepared for a day or two, right?

It also takes about ten days to get back and forth.

After all, this kid has been studying for two days, and he has come to hand over the errand? And let him pass the danger?

Zhou Yuan suddenly became angry when he thought of this, gritted his teeth and swore viciously: "Boy, the teacher will train you well." See if you dare to go out on the waves! ”
