Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 137 Calculation
  Li An didn't notice the tail behind him. He returned home and chatted with his parents for a while, then went back to his room to take a shower and go to bed.

The person who was following Li An saw Li An entering the house, looked around for people to inquire about, and went back to report the news.

The pockmarked man's name was Chang Zhihua, and his family was in business.

Although the Li family has only opened two stores and is not well-known in Yangzhou, the braised meat sold by the Li family has become quite famous in Yangzhou over the years.

Many people are salivating over the Li family's formula, but they dare not mess with it because Li An worships Liu Xuewen as his teacher.

As soon as he heard that Li An had entered the Li family, and combined with Li An's age, Chang Zhihua guessed Li An's identity.

"Hehe, I can't afford to offend you, but Feng Xi will be afraid that he won't let you go so easily, just in time to kill someone with a borrowed knife." Chang Zhihua sneered and asked someone to prepare a car and go to Feng's house.

He naturally knew that Li An's poem on the Lantern Festival would embarrass Feng Xihui.

Li An had just caused him to be scolded by Feng Xihui. Not only did he hate Li An, he also felt hatred towards Feng Xihui.

If Feng Xihui and Li An fight, no matter who loses, he will be happy to see it.

Feng Xihui's family was from Jiangdu County, but after he came to Yangzhou to study, his family bought him a house not far from Yangzhou Academy.

Chang Zhihua came to Feng's house, and after being notified, he was taken to Feng Xi's meeting room.

Feng Xihui had just finished bathing. He was wearing a silk lining and his chest was open. Behind him, a maid with an iconic appearance was fanning him with a fan.

Seeing Chang Zhihua, he frowned and said, "What are you doing here so late?"

"Brother Feng, I found out the identity of the young man who offended us before. I thought Brother Feng must be interested, so I came over overnight." Chang Zhihua said with a smile.

"Does he have some background?" Feng Xihui frowned.

Although his family comes from a scholarly family, no one has passed the Jinshi examination for several generations. He still has some respect in Jiangdu County, and in Yangzhou he can only rely on his teacher Xu Shigao.

If he offends someone with a relatively high status, his teacher may not be able to help him if he finds out.

"Brother Feng, do you still remember Liu Xuezheng's student when he was in charge of academic affairs?" Chang Zhihua said.

"You mean he is Ang Lee?"

Feng Xihui stood up immediately after hearing this, carefully recalled Li An's appearance, sat down, and sneered: "I said it looked familiar, but it turned out to be him!"

"I thought Brother Feng would be interested, so I came over overnight." Chang Zhihua said with a smile.

"Interested, I'm very interested." Feng Xihui sneered.

Ang Lee asked him to make a fool of himself in front of so many people at the beginning. In the past few years, sometimes when he met people who had a bad relationship with him, some people would still laugh at him about this.

"Brother Feng, what do you think about this county examination?" Chang Zhihua looked at Feng Xihui expectantly.

Feng Xihui said calmly: "You have paid attention this time. I will send you an article from the teacher in a few days. Please read it carefully. It will not be difficult to pass the county examination."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

Chang Zhihua said excitedly: "I understand the rules. I will ask someone to send you a thank you gift tomorrow."

"Yeah." Feng Xihui nodded and said, "Go back."

"Yes." Chang Zhihua saluted and left under the guidance of his servants.

"Give me more...forget it."

Feng Xihui originally wanted to find his teacher Xu Shigao, but gave up the idea when he thought it was too late now.

When he got up early the next morning, he had someone prepare a carriage. After washing, he took the carriage to Xu Shigao's house.

When Feng Xihui was taken to the front hall by his servants, Xu Shigao was having breakfast with his wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren.

The family is also happy and harmonious.

"What's the matter with you coming here so early?"

After Feng Xihui saluted, Xu Shigao asked.

"The student has something important to tell the teacher." Feng Xihui said. Xu Shigao had almost eaten. Hearing this, he simply stopped eating and said, "Come to the study with me."

Taking Feng Xihui to the study room, Xu Shigao sat down and said, "Have all the places been sold?"

"Teacher, the matter of quota has been almost settled. But the students are here for another matter." Feng Xihui said.

"What's the matter?" Xu Shigao asked doubtfully.

"Teacher, do you still remember that student Liu Xuewen?" Feng Xihui said: "The student met him last night. He came back suddenly. He should have come back to take the county examination."

"I remember that his student should be only fifteen or sixteen years old now. Since Liu Xuewen asked him to come back to take the county examination, he should be quite confident. Huh, then Liu Xuewen is lucky and has accepted a good student." Xu Shigao snorted coldly. road.

"Teacher, now you are the leader of Yangzhou Academic Affairs. Whether he can pass the exam or not depends on you." Feng Xihui said with a smile.

"idiot!"

Hearing this, Xu Shigao reprimanded: "I heard that student Liu Xuewen said some warning words in Bianjing. Even the officials praised him very much. Not only did he have people stand at the gate of the Imperial College, but he was also awarded the honorary title from the ninth rank. Officer. If I let him fail the exam, what will happen if he makes a fuss?"

If he has no evil intentions, he will suppress Li An.

After all, writing is not the best. No matter how knowledgeable Li An is, he still has no problem finding faults in his articles.

Even if someone investigates thoroughly by then, he has nothing to fear.

However, now he is using the county trial to make money, and he wants to be more stable, but he is not willing to cause trouble.

"Let me tell you, if you take care of my affairs well, I will make arrangements for you in the provincial examination next year. I can't say where you will be, but you will definitely be able to pass. If you dare to ruin my important affairs, don't blame me for not thinking about master and apprentice." The relationship is over." Xu Shigao said calmly.

If he could take revenge on Liu Xuewen, maybe he would lose his mind because of his hatred for Liu Xuewen.

To deal with Li An, the best he can do is make Liu Xuewen disgusted, and if not, he will make Liu Xuewen look coquettish, which obviously outweighs the gain.

It's not important to make money.

"Yes, teacher, don't worry. The students will definitely do what the teacher tells them to do and nothing will go wrong." Feng Xihui said.

"Well, go ahead." Xu Shigao nodded.

……

Li An got up early in the morning and practiced martial arts in the courtyard. Since he didn't bring any weapons, he just boxed with Shi Zhu in the courtyard for a while, then went back to his room to wash up.

After washing, I practiced calligraphy in the house.

In the past, when Li An practiced calligraphy, he just wanted to write well.

Now Li An has fallen in love with calligraphy practice, which is more like a pastime for him.

When Ms. Liu came to call Li An for dinner, she saw Li An practicing calligraphy and said with some distress: "Aniu, you just came back. You can have a good rest. You don't have to work so hard."

"Mom, I'm used to it. The boat was shaking violently before. I haven't practiced calligraphy for several days, but I feel like something is missing." Li An said with a smile.

Ms. Liu didn't insist and told Li An that the meal was ready and asked him to go and eat.

"Mom, you go ahead. I'll wash the pen and go." Li An said.

After Mrs. Liu left, Li An washed and tidied up his pens and called up Shizhu to have breakfast.

In the morning, there were pickles, porridge, and steamed buns. Mrs. Liu also made a pot of chicken soup, saying that she wanted to replenish Li An's health.

Li An didn't like chicken soup, so he drank several bowls of porridge with pickles.

In the past, the Li family could not wait to count the salt they ate, so naturally they didn’t know how to make pickles.

These pickles are all pickled by my sister-in-law Zhang Qing, including cucumbers, radishes, beans and lettuce.

Crispy and delicious, Li An's appetite is whetted.

After breakfast, Li Nan tied up the donkey cart, then took the gifts brought back by Li An, and the family of three and Shi Zhu headed to Lijia Village.
