40. Different circumstances (seeking collection, seeking to read)

The distance between the capital city and the county seat is about 100 miles away.

It's sunset.

Wei Tu and Wei Fei rushed two quarters of an hour before the city gate was about to close, and entered the county seat of Qingshan County.

The two said goodbye at the intersection.

Go back to your own house.

Wei Tu did not stay in the county for a long time, and led the green horse to Li's house.

This time, the entrance of Li's house was different from the last time he came, there was no door, and there were no cars and horses, so it was a little deserted.

Wei Tu waited at the side door for a while, and then under the leadership of the maid Chunlan, he entered the Li family's inner house.

"Brother Wei, are you in ...... this time Is there a ranking in the Tao test? After walking for a while, Chunlan, who was leading the way in front, paused, she turned her head to look at Wei Tu, lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"Rank ......" Following the sound, Wei Tu looked at Chunlan's face, he didn't see a look of jealousy or joy on Chunlan's face, his face was calm, but his hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly.

After practicing martial arts, he can easily observe the small movements of others, as well as the micro-expressions on his face.

"Ranked twelfth in the Dao test, second-class martial arts show."

Weitu replied.

He could probably guess Chunlan's thoughts, and he should have felt a little uncomfortable after seeing him "ascend to the sky in one step".

- Obviously, everyone used to be the subordinates of Li Zhai.

However, Wei Tu is not disgusted by Chunlan's thoughts, he thinks that this is just human nature.

If it were him, it would be like this in the future, as long as Chunlan didn't have bad intentions.

"Second-class martial arts ......"

Chunlan looked stunned when she heard this, but after thinking about it, she felt that it should be so.

Two months ago, they, who were good with Xinghua, had already learned about Wei Tu's results in the government examination from Xinghua's mouth.

The county test is the head of the martial arts.

Seventh in the government exam.

It is not something incomprehensible to gain a reputation in the Taoist exam.

After a small half-ring, Chunlan came back to her senses, she looked apologetic, and bowed to Wei Tuwei.

"Wei ...... Lord......"

Chunlan changed her name.

Although the current Wei Tu is defenseless, after he has the fame of Wu Xiucai, he is a high-ranking Xiucai master, and he can't tolerate her, the servant of the Li family, to be called indiscriminately.

"Just call me Brother Wei'er, we all knew each other from childhood." Wei Tu shook his head, looking rather displeased.

Hearing this, Chunlan's heart was filled with a hint of joy, she nodded, and no longer insisted on the question of calling Wei Tu, still calling Wei Tu "Brother Wei".

"Brother Wei, this time the eldest young master went to participate in the Dao exam, and he failed, he just came back this morning, you will go to the inner house later, have a snack, try not to mention this matter......"

Chunlan habitually helped Wei Tu, but when she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "It's me who is too talkative, Brother Wei'er, you are different now, don't worry too much about the thoughts of the master and grandmother." ”

People are different.

If the subordinate touches the moldy head of the master's family, he will be scolded and punished by the master's family for a while.

But it's not the same for guests of the same status.

No matter how unhappy the lord is, he will endure his displeasure.

"Li Xingye is off the list?"

Different from Chunlan's focus, Weitu is more concerned about Li Xingye's failure to make the list.

"No wonder the Li family is a lot deserted, it turns out that Li Xingye has fallen off the list......"

Wei Tu was immediately relieved.

After Wengong Academy and Wugong Academy released the lists, there was only a few days apart, and the list of Wengong Academy was transmitted to Qingshan County, and it was only a few days of hard work.

If Li Xingye is on the list of the Taoist examination, Li Zhai will definitely be ten times more lively than the county examination list at this moment, after all, the county examination is just an exam, and after the Taoist examination is on the list, he will have a real fame in hand.

"According to Li Xingye's age, it should not be difficult to achieve fame before the age of thirty, but ...... People always praise the high and low ......"

"If you don't succeed in the current science, your potential in the eyes of the world will be greatly reduced."

Thinking of this, Wei Tu sighed with emotion.

If he fails in this course.

I'm afraid the end will be much worse than Li Xingye......

Shan family, Li family, Huang family...... Whether he will be able to do the same is still unknowable.

"Thank you, Sister Chunlan, for reminding me."

After a while, Wei Tu cleaned up his mood and thanked Chunlan for the reminder.

"When I get to the living room, I will pay attention to it after meeting Mr. and Mrs. Li."

He added.

……

Enter the living room.

Without waiting for Wei Tu to speak, Li Yaozu took the lead and said, "Brother Wei has come back from Fucheng, but how many days do you want to stay at my Li family temporarily?" There is nothing wrong with this. ”

When the words fell, Wei Tu Meiyu frowned imperceptibly - he felt that Li Yaozu's words were a bit condescending, as if he was giving him alms.

This time, he came to Li's house, not to spend the night, but to find Xinghua to report the good news, and to discuss with Li Yaozu and his wife about the redemption of Xinghua.

- When he was in Fucheng, in addition to practicing martial arts, he also took over the job of writing letters on behalf of Shan Yangong with the help of Shan Yangong, and earned some money.

This silver coin is different, only three or four taels.

Redemption is not enough.

But it was definitely enough for an inn stay.

The in-field military strategy of the martial arts examination also requires the calligraphy of the martial artist.

If the word is poor, although it will not be directly dismissed like the Wenju exam, it will also have a certain impact on the results.

However, just as Wei Tu was about to explain, he suddenly thought of Chunlan's reminder before, so he held his patience and did not refute it.

No matter how you say it.

The Li family also helped him.

Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yaozu and his wife are lost at the moment, it is really unnecessary to stimulate the two.

He hasn't had a small belly to this extent.

The redemption of the apricot blossom can be said at another suitable time, and it is not necessary to pick today's sensitive time.

Moreover, as soon as he achieved fame, he was "domineering" towards his former benefactor, which was not a good reputation on the outside.

"The matter of staying overnight, Master Xie Li has forgived it." Wei Tu thought for a moment, got up and bowed to Li Yaozu, and thanked him.

"Today, Wei won't disturb the two of you to rest."

Wei Tu resigned.

Then, Wei Tu turned to leave, but unexpectedly, he had just taken a few steps when he bumped into Li Xingye who was coming towards the living room.

At this moment, Li Xingye's hair was scattered, his face was haggard, the Confucian shirt on his body was scattered, and he didn't even tie his placket and belt.

"Bastard, what are you doing like this?" When Li Yaozu saw this scene, he was immediately angry, and he got up and scolded.

The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the correct appearance, the same color, and the following words.

Li Xingye's appearance, if it is seen by outsiders, it will be said that it is inappropriate at a small level, and it will be said that the Li family style is not solemn, and it is not a family heirloom.

"What's the ...... about this" Li Xingye yawned and casually sat down on the straight-backed chair in the living room.

Seeing this, Li Yaozu also shook his head helplessly, only when his son was still disappointed by the failure of the imperial examination, he couldn't raise his anger and scolded again.

But at this time.

A maid was disheveled, crying and crying, and ran over, knelt in front of Li Tongshi, pursed her mouth, and said nothing.
