The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 112

Frowning and thinking for a while, old man Li could only ask, "Third brother, what do you think should be done?"

"Third brother, you are capable, and the family's prospects are all on your shoulders.

I'm stupid and can't speak, but I also know that after you take the imperial examination, you still have a lot to spend money on.

It is very expensive to go to Beijing to catch up for the exam. As you said before, even if you pass the exam, it will take time to apply for an official.And all of this is difficult to develop without money. If the family does not do business and just relies on farming, it may be difficult to maintain. "The old man Li said seriously.

Li Sanlang was taken aback for a moment, but he did not expect his father to have such an opinion.

It is also true that old man Li was just an ordinary farming old man, and he didn't understand these things at all before.

I always thought that if the third child passed the scholar examination and then went to the Juren examination, the family should be well-off after that, right?

In the end, what the third child said shocked him, and really frightened him.

But at the same time, old man Li is a very open-minded and kind father, but he doesn't talk much and is always taciturn on weekdays, even if he has deep love for his son, he is not good at expressing it.

After hearing what the third child said last time, the old woman's words comforted old man Li, anyway, these old guys are ignorant and stay at home obediently.

It is the best thing to take care of your children while you can still move.

But, he also kept an eye on it. There was an old gentleman in the village who was Saburo's earliest enlightenment teacher back then.

The Li family has always been very grateful to him, and they were willing to teach Sanlang how to read without Shu Xiu.

Even now, during the holidays, old man Li would carry a piece of meat to visit the old master.

The two old men also often get together to chat, and they have established a good friendship over the years.

There was something he didn't understand, so the old man Li went to ask the old master for advice, and the two had a good drink with the spicy tofu made by Mrs. Li.

Although the old master has never been a scholar in his life, and the farthest place he has traveled is only the county seat, he has read a lot of books, and he must know more than old man Li.

These are what the old master taught him.

Old man Li did all these things secretly, and no one else in the family knew about it except Li's mother.

Because of this, at first it was the eldest daughter-in-law who wanted to go out to sell things, and then the second daughter-in-law also went.

He even took all the older children with him, and old man Li didn't object.

He is also doing it for the good of the third child in his heart, and now that he has saved more money, the third child will have a smoother journey in the officialdom in the future.

For a long time, old man Li knew that their old Li family could only rely on the third child if they really wanted to make a comeback.

Hearing what the third child said now, old man Li was dumbfounded.

"Third brother, you said you can't become a merchant, then—"

"Father and mother, don't worry, the business of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law is not too big now. I just want to tell you that our family is still just a farmer after all. The key is to keep your heart and always remember that you are just a farmer. .”

If the land is still cultivated and the amount is large, then it will not be changed to a merchant.

Now, both Li's father and Li's mother understood, and promised:

Let Li Sanlang feel at ease, just concentrate on studying in the government school, and the second elder will help him take care of the family affairs.

Even Li's mother patted her son on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your wife will take good care of you."

But she could see that this time the third child came back and the younger couple stayed in the same room for more than ten days, and their relationship was even better.

Shi Shi is not the kind of wicked mother-in-law who loves to tease her daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law is still her favorite, but she takes care of her as her own daughter.

The son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, and the mother only wants to be happy, so she won't spoil her daughter-in-law for this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Li Sanlang just felt that his mother was teasing him, and his ears turned red quietly.

After all, the time to part is coming. In fact, since he was a child, Li Sanlang often only returns home once a month when he is studying outside.

But anyway, at that time, at most, they were in the town or the county, and the family members could still visit him and send him food, clothes and so on.

This is so far away from the provincial capital, and he can only come back after he has a long vacation. Thinking of this, Shi feels very uncomfortable.

The route was planned in advance, Li Dalang sent Sanlang to the county first, saw his classmates at the meeting, and his relatives followed the caravan to the provincial capital in a carriage.

It's faster to take a carriage, and it's a partner, so the cost on the road is not big.

It took a whole day to go to the county seat early and take a carriage, and it was already dark when we arrived in the provincial capital.

Shi Shi muttered there: "It's so slow, won't there be nothing to eat when it gets dark?"

How can this work, hurry up and ask the elders to cook more food and let the third child take the road to make dry food.

Li Sanlang couldn't laugh or cry, this motherly heart, obviously there is only less than a day's distance, but the mother who ate on the road has already created a big burden.

"Mother, it's not the first time for my son to go to the provincial capital, so don't worry."

When he first went to the provincial capital, Li Sanlang only brought a simple change of clothes, but this time he came back with all the things ready-made.

As a result, his mother was worried, and she insisted on packing three big bags for him, so to speak, she finally reduced one.

Then Li Dalang was already waiting outside the yard, and here Li Sanlang said goodbye to his mother and daughter-in-law, and spent another quarter of an hour dawdling and chattering.

Shi kept muttering: "Don't worry about studying in the government school, eat enough and clothe yourself warmly, don't worry about your family. Everything is fine with us, the most important thing for you is to take care of your health."

Li Dalang couldn't help laughing and said: "Mother, Sanlang just went to study and didn't come back..."

Before he finished speaking, his mother glared at her and begged for a scolding.

However, it diluted a lot of Shi's sadness, but Mrs. Li couldn't help but mutter in her heart, maybe she's just a fool?
Knowing that the third child is what Mother misses most, she still said such things.

Fang Qingqing, on the other hand, just said goodbye to Li Sanlang with a smile, without saying anything.

There were countless words of parting, and she had already told him a lot in the room last night.

Finally, when Li Dalang was about to leave with the ox cart, Fang Qingqing still couldn't hold back.

Walked a few steps, trotted to Li Sanlang's side, whispered in his ear: "Brother Sanlang, don't forget what I told you last night."

Recently, there was a promotional event in the mall, the kind of pill that can temporarily save lives, and the special price for a limited time only costs 888888.

On purpose, on purpose, Fang Qingqing felt that the system mall was on purpose, because she had just accumulated 900000 points so far.

After thinking for two days and one night, Fang Qingqing finally made up her mind to buy the pill, and specially put it into a beautiful small porcelain bottle for Li Sanlang to keep close to her.
