Lou Xiaoyi's happy confinement life finally returned to peace after Li Sanlang's visit. He finally had time to look for traces of spiritual practice in the sea of books. Maybe people in this world can't understand his persistence in spiritual practice, but he has never forgotten his dedication to spiritual practice.
For someone from his world, this is almost everything.
Time travel without practicing, chrysanthemum-flower set electric drill!
But the limited few days were not enough for him to find anything valuable. It is easy to catch a trace of spiritual practice in the biographies of ordinary people in mountains and rivers, but it is basically impossible to find the truth. All documents
They are all filled with clouds, ambiguities, and paradoxes. This is not a problem that can be solved by summarizing.
Ten days later, Lou Xiaoyi was called to the inner courtyard again and accepted the squeeze of two old ladies.
"I heard that you are living a very prosperous life these days, hanging out with friends all day long, drinking and eating, and even buying food from all the best restaurants in Pucheng, right?
There are also musicians playing music, juggling entertainment, talking and laughing with the richest man, and all the people coming and going are drunkards!
Are you a little sad that these days have ended like this?
Since Xiao Yi likes it, I, as a mother, won’t bother you. How about we ground you for another month?”
Lou Xiaoyi felt funny in his heart when he heard his mother's words, but now he must be sincere.
So he was frightened and said, "Where did your mother come from? My son also wants to shut himself up and think about his mistakes and change his past mistakes. However, there is no use in rejecting favors!"
As the saying goes, repentance remains in the heart even though wine and meat have gone through the intestines. My son is still aware of the thoughts of the two adults and is not deliberately ignoring them."
Aunt Caihuan laughed and said, "Xiao Yi, you are getting better and better at talking!"
Lou Xiaoyi said with a calm face, "Everyone is born sooner or later. God created all human beings and treated them equally. I talked less when I was a child, but I make up for it now. Some people talked a lot when they were young, but silence is golden when they become adults. In fact,
It’s a truth.”
Lou Yao's face was straight, "Xiao Yi has grown up, and I can't care much about your affairs. But what's going on with Li Sanlang? I haven't heard that you have an affair with him?"
Lou Xiaoyi laughed, "What mother said, how can this be a hookup? That's it..."
Let’s talk about Li Sanlang’s performance and reaction at the Lake Tour Spring Party.
"Li Sanjue and I have the same hatred, and his son helped him vent his anger, so I offered him a drink to thank him. In fact, this is the first time we have spoken.
My son feels that there is no need to hold on to some unnecessary conflicts to save face. The Li family is very powerful in Pucheng and is a real local snake. It would be beneficial to slightly ease the relationship between the two families!
Li Sanlang is a smart man, and his purpose for coming to our Lou Mansion is not simple. Therefore, my son took it upon himself to receive him. In my opinion, even if the original contradiction cannot be eliminated, he and I are as close as we have ever been in this generation.
, it’s enough to alleviate some things…”
Mrs. Lou Yao sighed. As the mistress of the Lou Mansion, how could she not know that the current Sima Mansion has long lost its glory, and it is really not appropriate to start another quarrel with local tyrants like the Li family, but there are some things that cannot be regretted, and it is difficult.
I was going around in circles, but a few days ago my son accidentally took a photo of Li Jiasanlang, which was an unexpected surprise.
Seeing her mother sigh, Lou Xiaoyi guessed what she was thinking, "Mom, this is an inevitable choice between mature families. He is in business and I am in officialdom. There is no direct conflict of interest. It is better to live together."
As for Li Sanlang, a shrewd man like him is not so friendly with friends. There is another difference between him and Qi Er's group. These sons all know that they will not easily fall into other people's traps. In the end, they will just use each other. "
Lou Yao looked at her son intently. At this moment, she was sure that, as if overnight, the ignorant child had truly grown up and had his own thoughts and judgments. This made her The heart that has been hanging for eighteen years is finally relieved,
When the boy grows up, she will have to pay less attention to outside affairs. After all, this mansion belongs to Lou.
"I don't care about your affairs outside! But now that Xiao Yi understands things so well, tell me when you plan to give me an explanation for your written test?"
This time when Lou Xiaoyi sighed, he knew that he would never be able to avoid something like this that was related to Lou's family reputation!
When he first came to this body, he didn't take it seriously at all. Everyone traveled through time and went to another world to continue exam-oriented education? Did he make it uncomfortable for himself?
But now he no longer thinks so, because of the relationship he has cultivated with the two old women, he knows that he will definitely have countless behaviors in the future that are beyond the expectations of the two old women, and it will be difficult to satisfy the wishes of the two old women. , such as getting married and having children, such as following the steps...
He couldn't let the two old men down in all aspects! Then, he shouldn't refuse the relatively easy small honor of being a scholar.
"The Xia Wei Examination is still three months away. Don't worry, you two. Xiao Yi will win this honor this year as a gift for his mother's fiftieth birthday!"
Lou Yao smiled and said, "Seriously?"
Lou Xiaoyi gritted his molars and said, "Seriously!"
Lou Yao confirmed it again, "After you have passed the exam, I won't force you to get married within three years! It's up to you to choose!"
But if you don’t succeed, when you fail, it will be the day you get married!”
This old lady takes care of every step of the way and is really watertight!
"Mom, getting married doesn't mean recruiting someone, how can it be so fast..."
Aunt Caihuan took action at the right time, "You don't have to worry about this! Everything is taken care of by your Aunt Caihuan, I promise not to be perfunctory!"
Lou Xiaoyi retreated in defeat...
He was confident about getting the Wenzhuang exam, because he had read books for more than ten years and had a profound accumulation and foundation. Wenzhuang was just the most basic class in this world, just like his previous life. There are several levels of scholars in ancient times, including Wenyuan, Wendian and Wenkui.
His mother's request was that he must complete the Wen Zheng test to prove his identity as a scholarly family in the Lou family. As for going higher, he could be released as an official after passing the Wen Dian level one. This was not what the old lady wanted.
It sounds easy, it's easy to think about, but it's just about doing it...
Lou Xiaoyi is still a responsible person. Since he wants to take the exam, he must make preparations in advance. Originally, he was very resistant to the exam, so he did not make any preparations. But he is different. As someone who has experienced it, he knows very well what is expected of the old man. , the younger generation should do one thing and one less. Children always start to regret after they reach middle age. They did not do more things to make them happy when their parents were still alive.
He won't. At least, he will try his best to do what he can.
Although he has never experienced such an occasion in his previous life, there are still many books about the college entrance examination in Lou's house, and the whole process is also very clear. When he roughly read the selected articles over the years and the articles he has written in the past two years, he read them one by one. After comparison, two problems were discovered.
The good news is that he can pass such a preliminary examination at his own level.
The bad news is that his current spiritual consciousness can no longer write the articles that his original consciousness once wrote!
