Chapter 240 County Exam
"Uncomfortable?"
Li Kui has always had a lukewarm attitude towards Dalang, mainly because Dalang always manages to make things unexpectedly happen when he asks him to consider his brotherhood.
However, Dalang's current sick look made Li Kui reluctant to continue beating him. Besides, Li Kui now had a better punching bag, Li Yun, and had little interest in Dalang. He followed Dalang's words and said: "I've seen it.
Have you found the doctor? Just take two doses of medicine and you’ll be fine.”
"It still hurts."
The anger in Li Kui's chest surged upward.
But looking at Dalang's empty eyes and desperate expression, he rarely showed some compassion. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
“It’s hard to live at home!”
Dalang lamented: "Miss Xu is a good woman."
Xu Chunli?
Isn’t this Fat Spring?
The only daughter of Uncle Xu, a loyal servant of the teacher Zhou Yuan's family, and the cook in the county government?
Could it be that this guy is still obsessed with Xu Chunli?
It is possible, but the problem is that Fat Chun has no interest in Li Dalang at all. Not only is he not interested, but he is also very disgusted. Now that Fat Chun is pregnant out of wedlock, Li Kui doesn't care about Fat Chun's depravity. It's not him who wants to marry a wife anyway. Suddenly,
He remembered that Li Dalang was having an affair with Fat Chun, right?
Then……
Li Kui asked: "Is the child in Fat Chun's belly yours?"
"No!" Li Dalang looked up at Li Kui angrily, and said angrily: "If it's mine, why should I feel uncomfortable? Because it's not mine, so I feel uncomfortable! She is a woman, but she has to bear the infamy she shouldn't have.
, living in today's difficult world is arousing criticism. Has she done anything wrong? I just want..."
Li Yun stood by with his ears raised, listening intently. He couldn't help it anymore, so he interrupted and asked: "Brother, do you know whose father it is? Is it possible that eldest brother doesn't care about the biological father of this child and wants to marry Fat Chun home?"
Unknowingly, Li Yun had more respect for Li Dalang.
What kind of spirit is this?
Even though he knew the child was not his, he wanted to marry him home because he couldn't bear the fact that his beloved woman was cast aside. This man's responsibility and open-mindedness made Li Yun's young mind immediately lift Li Dalang's image to a higher level.
Level. Anyway, Li Yun would never dare to do such a great thing in his life. It sounds great, but if it really happens, only he will know how bad it will be.
But from Li Dalang's Qiqi Ai Ai's tone, he heard something strange, and he asked inquiringly: "The child is not yours, why are you so excited?"
"I guess it's from our old Li family." After Li Dalang finished speaking, he hugged his knees and lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Kui. He was quite cheerful and had the spirit of a big family like the meat rotting in the pot. But for this kind of thing,
A big family will not carry forward this kind of spirit. Is this a scandal?
On the contrary, Li Yun looked at Li Kui in surprise, with contempt and disdain in his eyes. He thought you had thick eyebrows and a straightforward personality, but he didn't expect you to be such a person? He really thought that this had something to do with Li Kui.
.At least, that's what he thought at first.
However, Li Yun quickly realized that Li Kui had no chance! In the past two years, Li Kui had never returned home, let alone went to the county government office... Could this child be someone else?
Li Kui was a little more discerning and asked Li Dalang directly: "Is it Li Quan's?"
"It's possible!" After saying this, Li Kui was already convinced that the child must be Li Quan's. Li Quan was stupid, but he was not stupid enough to understand anything. Plus Fat Chun deliberately... Hey,
This thing was a big deal. They originally agreed to help, but in the end, they left themselves alone and started doing it alone.
Li Kui admired Li Quan very much. He liked Li Quan as a strong-willed person, who was very tough. But Li Dalang's behavior made him extremely angry.
"Bad bones!"
"I'll make you cheap!"
…
Even if you don't let go of a fool's wife, do you still want to show off? Li Kui yelled at Li Dalang: "Li Quan is your brother."
"But Uncle Xu doesn't agree with Miss Xu and Li Quan, what can we do?"
Less than half a day after returning home, Li Dalang was beaten again. This time the beating was not too unjust. After the beating, Li Kui almost went crazy, but he couldn't beat Li Dalang to death, right? He angrily chopped a piece of meat one finger thick.
The stone slab was so frightened that Li Dalang's face turned pale, and he exclaimed: "I didn't mean anything bad, I just wanted to marry Fat Chun back, and then let Li Quan..."
Li Kui couldn't bear it anymore. Li Dalang had good intentions, but the problem was that this was definitely a family scandal that could not be tolerated in any era! Immediately, he decided: "No, we can't wait any longer. Where did Li Quan go?"
"Probably by the river, Miss Xu is probably there too."
Li Kui immediately stood up and stared at Li Yun to scare him away: "What are you going to do?"
"Didn't you say you were caught in rape?" Li Yun tried to join in the fun, but was slapped back by Li Kui.
By the river, Pang Chun faced Li Kui calmly, without any shyness or pretense. Instead, she gave people a fierce and aggressive attitude. As soon as Li Kui opened his mouth, she laughed: "You little heartless thing,
Are you coming to save your sister now?"
Li Kui's mouth twitched and he said helplessly: "Pang Chun, please don't smear someone's innocence. You and I have nothing to do with each other. But what do you think about the marriage between you and Li Quan?"
"Li Quan is a boring gourd." Pang Chun looked helplessly at Li Quan, who smiled stupidly.
Li Kui sighed and said: "According to the betrothal gift from a wealthy family, I will ask Uncle Qi to propose marriage to Uncle Xu, and I will not treat you badly. As for whether you want to live in the family or go out to live alone, what are your plans?"
"I want to go out and live alone."
Fat Chun knew that his idea was too much, but Li Kui had Li Dalang in his family. Although Li Dalang was not bad, he could not be bad. But living under the same roof always felt awkward.
Besides, she didn't want to go back to her hometown in Wuxian County. She also didn't want to continue working as a cook with Zhou Yuan.
After all, Zhou Yuan is the official of the imperial court, and he will change his position in a few years, which will inevitably lead to wandering around. If she and her father depended on each other, she would admit it no matter what. But the problem was that after having a family, she did not want to continue to follow Zhou Yuan to his post.
.
Li Kui immediately agreed: "Ten thousand guan, this is Li Quan's share in the clan. I make the decision to give it to him. But Li Quan...even if he lives outside, he is still a member of the Li family. You have to understand this."
"It's natural. With ten thousand coins, I want to open a restaurant in Bianliang. Is that okay?"
Fat Chun asked with great expectation.
Li Kui said impatiently: "This is your family's money, don't ask me."
The next day, the matchmaker and Uncle Qi went directly to the county government office with the betrothal gift.
Uncle Xu was speechless when he saw a tray of gold and silver jewelry. He had thought about marrying his daughter, but he never thought it would be so glorious. But when he thought about his daughter marrying into the Li family, he would become a lonely widower.
The old man suddenly felt depressed.
Uncle Qi naturally noticed Uncle Xu's worries. After opening a box, he found a hundred pieces of jiaozi piled up together, filling a camphor wood box. This made Uncle Xu's face suddenly change, and his tone was unkind.
: "My Xu family is marrying off our daughters, not selling them!"
"The in-laws misunderstood. This is Li Quan's family property and was given to him. After he got married, it was naturally given to his niece-in-law. Moreover, the nephew-in-law has said that she wants to open a restaurant in Bianliang. The money can also be used.
." Uncle Qi explained.
Xu Boxin said, if his daughter is already pregnant in Liujia, why would she go to Bianliang to open a restaurant? Isn't this fooling people?
However, a thought came to his mind immediately. If Li Quan and his daughter went to the capital, wouldn't he be able to live with his daughter and son-in-law? If his daughter gave birth to a child, could he still entertain his grandson?
Thinking of this, Uncle Xu couldn't help but said excitedly: "That means I, old man..."
Uncle Qi said with a smile: "Although I am Li Quan's elder, this is a matter between them and I cannot interfere. But things will be different when you are old. After all, you are Li Quan's father-in-law. This family will definitely be in the future."
As your daughter, it’s better for the in-laws to discuss it with the young couple!"
"This..." Uncle Xu burst into tears for a while.
The matchmaker flattered her from the side: "Mr. Xu, this is such a perfect match for you. You should be happy on this special day, right?"
"Yes, I'm happy, I'm happy!" Uncle Xu's worries disappeared and he grinned, but he couldn't restrain his tears.
After the two families got married, Li Quan took Uncle Xu's family to Bianliang. He also took two younger people from the village with him, which could be considered as help on the way.
Half a month later, the county examination was held as scheduled.
Li Kui and Li Yun got up early and hurriedly felt the edge of the county school.
However, the county school is now filled with smoke and looks like a fairyland that will be wiped out overnight. The green smoke is billowing from the incense burner in front of the Confucius Temple next to the county school.
"Ten coins and one stick of incense!"
"Ten articles and one stick of incense, pray to the Holy Master, and you will be victorious!"
…
Li Yun was eager to take the test, but he forgot to bring money when he went out. He immediately looked at Li Kui with a sad face. But the problem was that Li Kui had no experience in imperial examinations, and he didn't bring any money!
At this time, Li Qing squeezed through the crowd, smiled sheepishly at Li Kui, gave the sandalwood in his hand to Li Yun and Li Kui, and said: "Go quickly, sign a good sign, high school.
"
On the day of the imperial examination, all I heard was words like, "I passed high school."
Li Kui didn't really believe that burning incense would bring him great luck, but he still followed the trend and went to burn incense. Li Qing opened his mouth, looked at his son's back, and suddenly choked up.
As a father, he seemed to be unable to help his son when he was about to take the imperial examination.
As for his son's knowledge, he, as a father, has no knowledge at all. The only thing he can do seems to be to pray to the gods.
The moment Li Yun turned his back, he seemed to feel Li Qing's helplessness and meticulous care. He sniffed, feeling a little sentimental.
However, he soon couldn't care less about his sadness, because the gongs and drums of Lao Li's family were beating the gongs and drums loudly, and the slogans were even more annoying: "The children of the Li family, win the battle!"
Li Kui's forehead was going numb. He didn't expect that the fifth uncle who winked at him in a pretentious manner last night would actually do this. He had no shame in continuing to act like a monkey in front of everyone.
The moment the gate of the county school was opened wide, Li Kui pushed aside the crowd and rushed in.
