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

Fang Qingqing was very relieved, he was really a good boy, sensible, considerate and brotherly.

Diandian was fed by her brother, and she suddenly smiled again.

Fang Qingqing was also very relieved, this is a child who loves to laugh and is easy to take care of.

Gently pinching Diandian's face, Fang Qingqing smiled and said, "Little greedy cat."

In the end, Sanmao eagerly explained from the side: "It's not the third aunt, my brother just wants to play with us."

Then he said to Dian Dian in a serious manner: "Brother, don't worry, I will take you to play when you are able to walk after one year old."

Fang Qingqing smiled slightly, but did not speak, but what she was thinking in her heart was:

After a little bit of one year old, will Li Sanlang be released?
At that time, she should definitely take the children to go to the place with Li Xiuping. I don't know if the in-laws will go, but the brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews will definitely stay in the capital.

Especially San Mao Si Mao, who have to work hard in the past few years. The imperial examination is a long process.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingqing felt sorry for the children in her heart. Being trapped in the academy's world for many years is certainly not good.

But there is no way, this is the best way out for their future.

Fang Qingqing and Li Xiuping didn't wait for Fang Qingqing and Li Xiuping to feel these things before going to rest at night.

Li Xiuping took out a letter, saying it was for Fang Qingqing.

"To me? What letter?"

It wasn't until I got it that I realized it was brought over by someone from her natal family.

Fang Qingqing was a little strange, now Fang Laosi was very proficient in running a business with Li Erlang, how could he send the trustee to Li Xiuping?
Li Xiuping told his daughter-in-law that because the business of the restaurant is so good and very busy recently, usually the elder brothers and sisters-in-law simply stay there at night and do not go back to Li Mansion to rest.

The letter was brought by the people in the caravan and delivered to the food shop. Then Da Mao happened to be shopping outside and passed by the Imperial Academy, so he brought it to his third uncle.

Anyway, in Da Mao's view, no matter whether the letter is written to the third uncle or the third aunt, it is the same for both of them to receive it.

"Oh, I see."

In the end, after opening it, I found out that it was a letter from the old Fang's family, but it was written by the eldest nephew of my natal family, and it was old man Fang and Mrs. Liu who asked me to write such a letter.

The content of the letter was simple, but the key point was that the grandson of the old Fang's family was naturally inferior to the grandson of the old Li's family who was already studying at the Beijing Academy, and the content of the letter was not too straightforward.

The main thing is to tell Fang Qingqing that life at home has gotten better and better in the past two years, so she shouldn't worry too much, the main thing is some old things——

In fact, Fang Qingqing knew almost everything before, for example, the big cow who wrote the letter was the grandson of the old Fang's family.

He married the granddaughter of Dr. Yu, who was the first to study medicine with Fang Qingqing, and the two of them lived happily ever after.

Especially when the conditions of Lao Fang's family are getting better and better, their young couple has already lived in the county, and Daniu's daughter-in-law is pregnant.

All of this is okay, and I also talked about Fang's second and third, for example, Fang's second remarried and Fang's third's daughter-in-law finally gave birth to a boy and so on.

Then Daniel wrote something that made Fang Qingqing vomit blood.

Originally, Li Xiuping was already very tired and ready to go to bed, but when he saw his daughter-in-law's look |wrong|wrong, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"My fourth sister-in-law gave birth to another son. My fourth brother thinks that this child is very talented and intelligent. If he is sent to study in the future, he might be able to become a high-ranking official." Fang Qingqing said expressionlessly. .

"And then?" Li Xiuping asked.

He knew that the matter must be more than that, because the expression on the daughter-in-law's face was very strange.

"The fourth brother asked Daniu to write to me and asked me. He heard that if the parents in the family go into business, it will affect the child's future career. He asked me if he should simply stop the business."

Of course Fang Laosi didn't want to stop, he knew very well that whether a child is smart or not doesn't affect a single thing:

Studying is very expensive. If the family has no money to support it, it will be very difficult for the child to take the imperial examination in the future.

However, the experience of his ancestors told him that he would not be able to save money in his life if he did not go to the merchants and only relied on the harvest in the field.

The fourth Fang thinks that Yaomei is the smartest in the family, so he specifically asks her for advice, hoping that Yaomei can help her come up with a good way to get the best of both worlds.

Not only Fang Qingqing, Li Xiuping was shocked when he heard this.

As far as he knew, the fourth uncle's son had just reached the full moon, so how could he tell that he was definitely a student, and now he was worrying about how his parents would do business, which would hinder the child's way to become an official in the future?

Fang Qingqing thought the same way.

Fourth brother, what about your face, isn't it too whimsical?

Life gradually stabilized. Originally, Fang Qingqing thought that she had done meritorious service in the epidemic, and that the emperor would reward her no matter what she did.

As a result, when Li Xiuping came back that day, he told her a piece of news that left Fang Qingqing dumbfounded.

As expected, Mr. Xiang was released, probably because he was already a high-grade official serving a bachelor's degree and because of his meritorious service this time, he was not released as the county magistrate as Li Xiuping originally envisioned.

Emperor Hongwen was very generous and directly gave Li Xiuping a magistrate to be a magistrate. That is equivalent to being promoted two ranks in a row from a fourth-rank official position.

In the end, Li Xiuping refused, preferring to start as a county magistrate in one place, and the place he was going to was just a small county town in a remote area.

Li Xiuping just explained a little bit, and Fang Qingqing understood.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away in a small county town. Compared to Li Xiuping who wants to experience and truly cultivate his skills, he is the most powerful.

In a small and remote county town, if the people's lives are better under his governance, then it will be possible to show Master Li's ability.

Another thing is that although the county is small, he is the local parent official and he has the final say on everything, so he won't be tied down in doing things.

It's just that it's easy to explain to the daughter-in-law, but it's a bit difficult to communicate with the parents. Li Xiuping's mouth and tongue are so dry.

As a result, his mother almost cried.

"Hey, my Saburo, you didn't make a mistake, why did the emperor demote you instead?"

It was Fang Qingqing who persuaded her mother-in-law: "Mother, think about it the other way around. If Sanlang goes to a big place, can he really show his strength?"

"This--"

"Daughter-in-law, tell the truth, parents, don't be angry, you are all from poor backgrounds, and there is no one in my natal family who can help Brother Sanlang, and many things in the officialdom can't be explained clearly in a few words.

But mother, you have also heard us talk about opera scripts, and you have also heard the term "officials and officials protect each other".

Instead of being suppressed by people in a big place, Sanlang's elder brother is the biggest in the small county, so he can give full play to his abilities. "

The truth once again tells Li Xiuping that his mother and his wife are the real mother and daughter, and his son is a foreigner!
