Li Shikuan left the ancestral hall, passed by his nephew Li Wenhua's house, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted: "Where is Ye Nier?"
"Hey!" Li Wenhua's eldest daughter Cuiye said in response.
"You go away and ask your father to come find me, right now." Li Shikuan confessed, turned around and walked back.
Not long after Li Shikuan arrived home, Li Wenhua entered the yard with his trouser legs rolled up and his muddy wooden clogs. He first went to the well, scooped up a few ladles of water and rinsed it. Then he sat next to Li Shikuan and took a cattail leaf fan to fan him.
By.
"It's getting hot very early. What's going on? The fields are very busy."
"Here are three silver coins. You go back and change your clothes. Go to the Gao Cun Market and buy four-color gifts for the two silver coins. Give them to Mr. Gao. Thank you for your hard work, sir.
"I also have a silver coin. I buy eggs and send them to Mr. Gao's house. I tell Mr. Gao that I can give them two a day. Can I ask Mrs. Gao to help cook them to replenish Xuedong's health? Besides, when the eggs are finished, we will give them to him again.
Go over there." Li Shikuan suppressed his voice and explained carefully.
"I have eggs at home, and they are better. How expensive are they to buy them with silver coins now?" The last sentence was so prodigal that Li Wenhua didn't dare to say it. His uncle was really not a prodigal person.
"Just do whatever I ask you to do!" Li Shikuan glared at Li Wenhua.
"I understand." Li Wenhua shrank his neck.
"It's the same as the previous two times, avoiding people!" Li Shikuan confessed again.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll go now?"
"Go, go."

Although Mr. Gao has only taken a few prefectural exams, he studied at a prefecture-affiliated school for several years when he was young. He generally knows the process and key points of taking the exams.
The subject of Gezhi is basically ignored in the county examination. In the government examination, if you don't pass the Gezhi, you will suffer a bit. When it comes to the college examination, if you don't know anything about the Gezhi, you will definitely be dismissed.
As for the following autumn and spring exams, those who passed the exam were all proficient in style.
After all, if you pass the Qiuwei exam, you will have the opportunity to become an official. Those in charge of government affairs will never be able to do it unless they are familiar with economics.
Mr. Gao is the only teacher in the Gao Family School. He does not know Gezhi, so the Gao Family School naturally does not teach Gezhi. Anyway, in the past twenty years, their Gao Family School has not even entered the inner circle of the county examination, and is of no use at all.
This is a great course!
Li Xuedong came third in the county examination. On the way home from the county seat, Mr. Gao was thinking about what to do with Li Xuedong's character.
But at that time, Mr. Gao just thought about it briefly. He felt that with Li Xuedong's talent, the reason for passing the county third place examination was not knowledge, but luck. The possibility of passing the next government examination was extremely small.
, you can plan your affairs slowly and take a long-term approach.
When Li Xuedong got the 18th place in the examination, Mr. Gao broke out in a sweat before the surprise had passed.
Xuedong is in good luck. He has to take the college exam in the fall no matter what. Maybe he will be lucky enough to pass the exam. However, his Xuedong still knows nothing about character!
This gentleman has neglected his duty!
Mr. Gao was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Mr. Gao took Li Xuedong and went straight to Kunshan County.
After not sleeping all night, after thinking about it for seven or eight times, Mr. Gao roughly planned the path of learning for his family.
First of all, Xuedong must have a good teacher who is good at style.
The advantage of Xuedong is that he is extremely hard-working, but his talent is average. For this Gezhi course, relying on him to study on his own will result in half the effort, and it will be too late.
He could only think of a good teacher who was good at style and willing to teach Xuedong.
Although Kunshan is a small county, the instructor must at least be a qualified scholar, and if he can pass the Qiuwei examination, he must be highly educated.
Mr. Gao and the county magistrate were strangers to each other, so he decided to take Xuedong to seek help from Huangxianzun. He could clearly see Huangxianzun's love and appreciation for Xuedong.
Mr. Gao took Li Xuedong straight to the Kunshan County Government Office. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the County Government Office, he saw Mr. Yao, Mr. Huang's staff member.
Mr. Yao did not know Mr. Gao, but he recognized Li Xuedong. Seeing that he was obviously going straight to the county government office, he took a step forward and asked with a smile: "Is it Li Xuedong? Is there something wrong?"
"Yes, boy and sir, please see Mr. Huang." Li Xuedong hurriedly answered with his hands in hand.
"What happened?" Mr. Yao looked at Mr. Gao and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just because of the child's hospital examination." Mr. Gao replied with a smile.
"It's okay, the county minister is inside, come with me." Mr. Yao said with a smile.
Mr. Gao pushed Li Xuedong and followed Mr. Yao into the signing room.
"Dong Weng, I met this child at the door and said that he came specially to see you." Mr. Yao turned back to look at Mr. Gao, "Is it about this child's hospital examination?"
"Yes, the county is well." Mr. Gao bowed respectfully.
Li Xuedong followed Mr. Gao's example and bowed his head.
"You're welcome, sit down. What's the problem?" Huang County Zun looked at Mr. Gao and asked with a smile.
"Yes." Mr. Gao glanced at the two piles of files on the table and said bluntly: "I know nothing about Gezhi. Xuedong has never studied Gezhi. I'm afraid I will suffer a big loss in the college examination in July.
.So, I brought this child to ask the county magistrate if he could let Xuedong go to the county school to attend classes for a few days? I heard that Wu Jiaoyu from the county school is good at the style."
Huang Xianzun let out a soft sigh, "No wonder he didn't write a word on the Gezhi paper in the county examination. Well, in the college examination, if he didn't write a word on the Gezhi paper, it would be extremely difficult to pass."
Huang Xianzun looked at Mr. Yao, "How is Wu Jiaoyu's character? Have you ever talked to him?"
"He loves poetry, but doesn't like style. But Mr. Shao from the Hong family is good at style." Mr. Yao said with a smile.
"Mr. Hong likes to support talented poor students. The boy who asked Xuedong to take the civil service examination for the Hong family is called Hong Zhenye, right? Write a letter to ask for Hong Zhenye, it will definitely help." Mr. Huang County Zun looked at Mr. Gao
, smiled.
"I understand. Thank you so much, Mr. County Lord, for your guidance." Mr. Gao stood up and bowed to express his thanks.
Li Xuedong followed Mr. Gao closely and bowed his head to express his thanks.
After leaving Mr. Huang County, Mr. Gao simply bought pen and paper, found a teahouse, instructed Li Xuedong, wrote a letter to Hong Zhenye, and handed it over to the county delivery shop.
Early the next morning, Hong Zhenye, the second young master of the Hong family, arrived outside the Gao family school with a long attendant, a boy, and three tall horses.
The boy was not big but had a loud voice. He rode on the horse and shouted: "Is this the Gao Family School? Is Mr. Li here?"
"What are you talking about? There's a class in there!" Huang Ma, an old servant of the Gao family, rushed out and waved a fire stick at the boy.
The boy was startled and quickly reined in his horse and stepped aside.
The middle-aged man hurriedly jumped off his horse, came forward with his hands in hand, and apologized with a smile, "Excuse me, we are coming from the county. This is our second young master, surnamed Hong. He is here to find Mr. Li of Xuedong Li Pao. Could you please pass the message?
."
"Pass what you want, wait until get out of class is over!" Lao Huang's mother held the fire stick and glared.
