The Road to Dominance in All Worlds, Starting from Brother Qiang

"Mr.'s rhetoric has not changed. He still advises me. If there is no result after another year of study, I might as well ask my younger brother to learn some crafts, so that I can have a way of making a living in the future."

Xu Xian's character is obedient if you put it nicely, and stupid if you put it harshly, but if you say it badly, you can definitely bear the words "cowardly and cringe".

The master of the school is also a discerning person. After all, as the saying goes, three years old is old, not to mention that today's Xu Xian is already six or seven years old.

There are not no late bloomers in this world, but according to Mr. Qian from the school, no matter how late bloomers you are, you must be able to read well.

But compared to children of the same age, Xu Xian obviously didn't have the aura that a scholar should have.

Li Butou had heard Mr. Qian say something similar to these remarks, but now he heard Li Gongfu's retelling, and he couldn't help but curse, "Bullshit!"

Mr. Qian is an old scholar who has no hope in the imperial examination. He is almost 60 years old. Because he is a member of the family, most people who know him call him Qian Sanye.

But at this time, because of Mr. Qian's comments on Xu Xian, Catcher Li felt very unhappy.

So he unceremoniously called the other party Qian Laosan, swearing in his mouth, "In my opinion, it is Qian Laosan who is incompetent and doesn't know how to teach children, so why did he blame Xu Xian?" ?”

There was a slight sneer on Li Butou's face, "Who doesn't know who? Just the little ink in Qian Laosan's belly, if the county lord hadn't pityed him at the beginning, he was just an old boy after taking the exam for many years, and Just when I was answering the question, I scratched the itch of the lord of the county, and when I was grading the paper, I said a few words to the lord Xuezheng, and promoted him to be the last scholar in the year. eat?"

Chapter 1257 Reading

Chapter 1257

As an old Butou who has spent most of his life in the Gongmen, and then followed the former Qiantang County magistrate for many years, in Li Butou's heart, he can really say It's door clear.

At this time, because he was dissatisfied with Mr. Qian's comments on Xu Xian, Catcher Li was so angry that he told many secret things that few people knew. Li Gongfu who was sitting next to him just kept smiling wryly. Mr. Qian After all, what happened back then involved the former magistrate who had already been promoted, which is hard to say.

But he knew his father's temper, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so that Catcher Li put away his nameless anger.

Fortunately, Catcher Li didn't go outside to yell, he only told his family members, so he wasn't afraid of any impact.

Li Butou sat on the stool and cursed for a long time, he didn't stop talking until he finished smoking the bag of cigarettes in his hand.

After pondering for a while, he turned to Li Gongfu and said, "After all, he is the son of my father-in-law, so the literary talent will definitely not be too bad."

"How about this, after the new year, you take Xu Xian to sign up at Sun Juren's private school in the south of the city. Your father and I are a bit of a loser at Sun Juren's place. Maybe you can save some money for Shu Xiu."

Although Sun Juren had never set foot in the officialdom, he was still a master of juren, and he was definitely not the same as Qian Laosan, a failed scholar.

However, although Sun Juren taught well, the corresponding fees were quite a lot.

The Li family is not a wealthy family in Qiantang County, they don't even have a servant or anything, so it is not a trivial matter to spend so much money.

But Li Butou still made such a decision that he was going to send Xu Xian to study with Sun Juren.

Even if Xu Xian's surname is Xu, he is the son of the Xu family, but what does it matter?

Li Butou has always been a loyal person, even if he can't compare with the righteous Guan Erye in the storybook, he is famous in Hangzhou City and Qiantang County of.

Therefore, Xu Xiucai's luck is really good, and he has found the right person because he left Gu Gu at the end of his life.

Although Li Gongfu was surprised by his father's decision, he didn't hesitate too much. He nodded at Li Butou and agreed, "That's fine."

As far as he is concerned, his wife's younger brother is actually no different from his own younger brother.

In fact, Li Gongfu has long regarded Xu Xian as his family.

Although Li Gongfu didn't feel that what Mr. Qian said was completely wrong, after all, Li Gongfu also had eyes, so he could see for himself what Xu Xian's personality was.

But if Xu Xian could really learn something from Sun Juren, he would also be sincerely happy for him and for his wife Jiaorong.

Isn't it just a little money?

Li Gongfu has now become a catcher, receiving a salary from the court, and Li catcher has spent most of his life licking blood on the knife edge, and has also saved a lot of savings.

He just paid the tuition fee for Xu Xian, but the Li family could still afford it.

Although the voices of Li Butou and Li Gongfu here are not loud, but because there is no barrier between the main room and the kitchen, they can clearly be transmitted into the kitchen, and reach the ears of Xu Jiaorong who is busy inside.

Xu Xian was still young, so he couldn't understand the meaning of Li Butou and Li Gongfu's words, so he continued to practice calligraphy with his head depressed.

But Xu Jiaorong was different.

The children of the poor were in charge of the family early, and Xu Jiaorong was sensible early. After Mrs. Xu passed away, she helped Xu Xiucai bear a lot of pressure, and only then did she last until the day she married into the Li family.

So Xu Jiaorong knew very well how difficult it was for the father-in-law and the husband-in-law to make the decision to spend money to send Xu's son to school.

In Xu Jiaorong's eyes, glittering and translucent, staring at the blazing fire in the stove in front of her, she secretly made up her mind that from now on, not only herself, but also her younger brother Xu Xian must not forget to be careful. To repay the great kindness of the Li family and his son.

Days passed, and soon it was New Years.

The festive atmosphere made the whole city of Hangzhou full of lights and festoons, bustling with activity.

On New Year's Eve, a carriage came staggeringly from the official road outside the city of Hangzhou, and finally entered the city through the east gate, joining the bustling ocean.

After passing through the crowd, he stopped in front of a rich and carved lacquer, although it was not very luxurious, it looked quite impressive.

After the car stopped, two beautiful women walked out of the carriage. The one in the white dress looked the most calm and kind. After getting out of the car, she greeted the driver with a smile, " Old man, if you have no place to go, why not stay with us for one night and leave after the new year?"

The two beautiful women who got out of the car were naturally Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

After deciding to go south to Hangzhou, Bai Suzhen got in touch with Murong Bai through a letter of amulet, and knew that Murong Bai had already lived in Hangzhou.

So, after Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing entered the city in this carriage hired from Jinling, they directed the coachman and went straight to this mansion to find them.

Today is New Year's Eve.

Bai Suzhen was kind-hearted, thinking that such a good day would not allow the driver who was over fifty to spend the night outside, so after getting off the car, she extended an invitation to the old driver with a smile.
