The rain last night made the official road condition very bad.
Mud, slippery, and countless puddles.
When the carriage arrived at Wangjiang Village, it started to rain heavily. If the raincoats had not been prepared in advance, both Wang Sen and Li Heng would have been drowned.
It was already 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon when we arrived at the entrance of Wanghe Village without any danger. It was definitely not safe to return to the county, so Li Hui directly invited Wang Sen to stay at home for the night.
Who would have thought that someone would refuse directly——
"No need, Brother Li. I'll stay at the inn in town wherever I want, so I don't need to bother you."
He is here on official business. He has a document written by the county magistrate himself, and the inn will treat him well.
Naturally, Li Hui couldn't give in. After all, he had to use his power to shock the clan.
"Hey, why are you being polite to me? You have to take a look at my house anyway, and then don't leave. My house has a lot of rooms. You and Brother Xin will live in the same room tonight. You and Mr. Pan will also have a chat when I go back tomorrow.
Huh?"
This last sentence was very tempting. Wang Sen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll bother Brother Li and Mrs. Sister-in-law."
"Don't bother me, your sister-in-law makes a pot that's really delicious. Everything is ready-made at home, so feel free to make it."
As Li Hui spoke, he pointed in the direction of his home, and Wang Sen whipped his whip and drove into the village.
The road condition in the village is worse than that of the official road. If the horses were not in their prime and the wheels of the cart were not big, the mud pit just now would have fallen into it.
After finally driving to the door of Li Hui's house, Wang Sen complained angrily:
"What a broken way! Isn't there a scholar in your village? Is this the way?"
Li Hui grinned and explained helplessly:
"Brother, scholars don't care about paving the way! Besides, our second uncle is not young anymore, and he has already known his destiny."
Wang Sen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Li's ancestral hall, "Haha..." sneered.
With this smile, Li Hui knew it was done.
Scholars in Liangyan are not tenured and have an iron rice bowl. They need to take the annual examination every three years.
The annual examination is to examine whether the scholar studies hard, distinguishes the good from the bad, and grades them.
Scholars with the best grades are called Linsheng, and they can go to the county government to receive food every month. They can also vouch for children's scientific examinations and charge a certain guarantee fee.
Those with second-class grades are called overachievers, and there is no bonus. However, just like junior students, there is a certain quota, and not everyone can do it.
The worst ones are epiphysics, and will be punished by reprimands, rulers, and even the title of scholar.
After Li Fang passed his destiny, he did not take the annual examination again. There were many like him in the previous dynasty. After all, they were older and would provide some care, so Liang Yan continued to do so after Xinjian. But care is not random.
Confident, especially for making ethnic studies into a mess.
He learned about Wang Sen's background from Boss Sun while drinking last night, and today he just happened to send Yan Yixin back to the village. With such an arrangement, how could he miss the opportunity?
If his guess is correct, the original owner's parents and the original owner were all the hands of Li Fang.
The tigers in the courtyard heard the noise and came to the courtyard gate to eat.
Li Heng, with his sharp ears, heard something wrong with the dog's sound and hurriedly put on his shoes and came out.
When he heard the voices outside the door, he shouted excitedly——
"Dad, Mom, are you back? I'll open the door when the tiger starts to move."
"Don't move the iron egg first, tie up the tiger." Cheng Xue reminded.
Although the tiger didn't bark just now, it doesn't mean it won't bark again after seeing Wang Sen and Yan Yixin.
Li Heng tied the dog, opened the courtyard door, and jumped into Li Hui's arms.
"Dad, my aunt and uncle also said that you can't come back today. I just said that dad has to come back, and mom and dad won't be willing to leave us for several days."
After getting along day and night during the accounting period, this boy was finally willing to get close to Li Hui.
Li Hui patted him on the back and introduced him after they came down:
"Your name is Uncle Wang, and he is a county government official. Don't you most want to be a county government official? I'll ask you when I get the chance."
Li Heng didn't want to be a government official, but he had a question in his mind, which he can finally answer today.
Stand properly and salute——
"Hello, Uncle Wang, are you busy on weekdays? Are there really old photographers in the county? Are there many?"
Li Hui was going to the county that day, and both he and Li Yue wanted to follow. But Li Yue was embarrassed to tell him, but he was embarrassed to ask. Unfortunately, his father said that there was an old photographer in the county who could steal the child away, so he
Just stay at home.
Wang Sen had never heard of the term "Old Man Patting Flowers". Cheng Xue coughed lightly at the right time, and he realized it.
"Yes, I've caught quite a few, and I can't finish them all. Why do you like to be a government official?"
"Being a yamen cadre is great!" Li Heng replied without hesitation, "Being a yamen cadre will prevent the patriarch's family from bullying my family. Dad, mother, you don't know that Li Wanshan's grandson pushed me by the river the afternoon before yesterday, and then I
Dodge, he fell in, he deserved his bad luck, his legs cramped, and then..."
"Hey, Brother Hui and Xue Niang are back. I wonder if you guys will come back today."
While talking, Mrs. Liu carried Li Tian out. When the little girl saw Cheng Xue, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and called "Mother".
Everyone knew that Mrs. Liu did not interrupt Li Heng on purpose. Cheng Xue greeted everyone into the house, and Li Hui put his arm around Yan Yixin's shoulders and led him into the yard.
Pointing to the house next to the main house, introduce:
"This is the house you and Tiedan will share in the future. Today I will live with your Uncle Wang."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Liu and said:
"Aunt, this is the child of my former classmate. His name is Yan Yixin. He is thirteen this year. Both his parents are gone. I happened to meet Xue Niang and adopted him. This is Wang Sen, the Yamen official, who came here specially.
Send children. Tiedan, call people."
Li Heng looked at Yan Yixin, cupped his fists and raised his hands in a decent manner, and called "Brother Yixin".
He wanted an older brother, but what he wanted was a biological brother, just like Shuanzi had his biological brother Gangzi, and Roller had Nianzi. It didn’t just appear out of nowhere.
Cheng Xue noticed the child's rejection and urged everyone to go into the room to talk.
The yard at home is not small, but the lintel is very narrow, so the carriage can only be hung at the door.
No one dares to steal it anyway. After all, no one dares to buy it if it is stolen, and it will cost you your head.
All the things in the car were moved next door to the main room. Cheng Xue carried firewood, put the fire on the stove, spread out the bedding, and then returned to the main room.
Mrs. Liu was cooking. When she saw her coming back, she whispered:
"Xue Niang, something happened at home the afternoon before yesterday, but don't worry, your uncle and Erxuan took care of it yesterday. It was that kid Li Wanshan who pushed our iron egg by the river, and then..."
Cheng Xue listened to half of it at the door, and now that she has listened to the second half, she is scared again and again. It is right for the child to hide away, but it is not right to ignore death...
"Li Heng, are you brave enough? Are you ready to die and refuse to save yourself? Have you read all the books?"
Li Hui got angry in the room. When Cheng Xue saw Liu's eager eyes, she immediately understood that he wanted her to come into the room and have sex with her.
Although the old man has a high status in front of the couple, she is also a sensible person. She knows that her nephew is educating the children, and she cannot interfere like she does at home...
