Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 14 Zeng Chuan
  Li Nan took Li An for a walk around the pier, and then took Li An to the place where he lived to identify the door.

He originally wanted to send Li An back to the academy, but when the foreman came to work for him, he had to let Li An go back alone.

On the way back, Li An felt depressed.

The place where my father lived was a simple house built with wooden planks. Several people lived in one room, and it was very messy.

Although there are teahouses and restaurants near the pier, my father and the others who work hard are naturally reluctant to go to these places.

Working in this living environment is still hard work. No wonder my father is only in his early thirties and looks like a little old man.

Li An was thinking about how to let his parents start a business, which would not only make money, but also make people feel more relaxed.

As for what kind of business to do, Li An already had a preliminary idea, but he still had to figure out the details.

Thinking about things all the way, I returned to the academy unknowingly.

The doorman knew him and didn't stop him.

When I passed by the school, the school had dismissed, and many people were talking in groups in the courtyard.

Seeing Li An's face, many people looked at him.

"Aniu, why are you here?"

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded.

Li An looked around and saw a boy of thirteen or fourteen looking at him in surprise.

"Cousin, I will also study at Qingfeng Academy in the future." Li An said with a smile.

"Reading? It's not you..."

Li Fu originally wanted to ask Li An why he came to study, but he stopped when he thought there were still classmates there.

"Li Fu, is this your cousin?"

A young man next to Li Fu asked.

"Brother Xu, this is my cousin. I didn't go back when I was taking a bath a few days ago. I didn't even know that he also came to the academy to study."

Li Fu laughed along with him, and then turned to Li An and said, "Aniu, please go to the scholar's house first. I have something else to do and will go find you later."

"do not!"

The young man known as Brother Xu pushed Li Fu away, looked at Li An and said, "Your cousin owes me two taels of silver. Since you came here to study, you should have brought the money, right?"

Li An frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at Li Fu.

The academy takes a bathing break once every ten days. Li Fu was supposed to take a bathing break a few days ago, but he did not go back. Instead, he asked a child from a neighboring village to tell him that the entrance exam for the city's academy was approaching, so he would not stay in the academy to study. gone back.

For this reason, the eldest aunt was very proud for a long time. She always praised Li Fu and said that he would definitely be able to pass the exam this year.

Now it seems that things are not that simple.

Li Fu's expression changed and he said, "Brother Xu, didn't we agree that I will pay you back when Xiu Mu comes back next time?"

Brother Xu smiled and said: "I am also short of money. You had nothing to do before, and I didn't make it difficult for you. Now that your cousin is here, let him pay back some for you first, and wait for you to rest." Pay me back when Mu comes back."

"Sorry, I have no money." Li An said calmly.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount. Even though Li An has it, he will not pay it back for Li Fu until he understands the situation.

The man surnamed Xu glanced at Li An suspiciously and said, "You won't lie to me, right? You come to study, how could you not bring any money with you?"

Li An shrugged and said, "My father sent me here. My father gave Shu Xiu to my wife. I brought it to Mi's family. What do I need money for?"

"Brother Xu, my cousin is telling the truth. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you this money when I go back to Xiu Mu this time." Li Fu said.

"Okay, if you can't pay back the money then, don't blame me." After the boy named Xu finished speaking, he walked out of the academy with several other boys of similar age.

"Aniu, let's go outside and talk." Li Fu said. Li An nodded and followed Li Fu out of the academy.

Li Fu took Li An to the side of the academy. When he saw no one around, he stopped and said, "Aniu, do you understand that you are not allowed to talk about this matter when you go back?"

"Cousin, aren't you going to explain?" Li An said calmly.

"Don't mind my business. If you dare to go back and talk nonsense, I will make it impossible for you to stay in the academy." Li Fu threatened.

Li An sneered inwardly when he heard this. He was really a bastard. He had just smiled at others, but now he was showing off his authority in front of him.

"I'm too lazy to take care of your affairs, but my cousin should think carefully about how to tell my aunt when I get back. Two taels of silver is not a small amount, and my aunt may not give it to you."

After Li An finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At first, he thought they were cousins ​​after all, and asked to see if Li Fu had been deceived or something, but now he didn't care.

Li An returned to the dormitory and saw three people already there.

When the three of them saw Li An coming in, they looked at him curiously without saying a word.

Li An smiled and nodded at the three of them, went to his bed and sat down, picked up the book he bought earlier and started reading.

"Hello, my name is Zeng Chuan, what's your name?"

A slightly chubby young man walked over.

Li An raised his head and glanced at the boy, smiled and said, "My name is Li An."

Many people in later generations said that drinking cold water will make you fat.

This statement was not true in ancient times. In ancient times, you could tell whether a person's family conditions were good or not, whether his skin was dark, thick or rough, and whether he was fat or not.

Anyway, in their village, the few who are a little fat are all in the houses with the best conditions in the village.

After eating two meals a day, you are only half full. When you are awake, you feel hungry half the time, and there is no oil and water. Even if you have a body that is prone to obesity, you cannot gain weight.

Zeng Chuan is a little chubby and his skin is relatively delicate. It seems that the conditions at home are good and he has not suffered any hardships.

Li An didn't want to curry favor with him or anything. People like Xiang Zengchuan, who are in good condition and are relatively outgoing, are generally better informed.

Chat with him so that he can learn some news about the academy as soon as possible.

"How do you choose the bed in the corner? The bed next to the wall is more humid on rainy days. You'd better change to another one." Zeng Chuan reminded kindly.

Li An was stunned when he heard this. He had forgotten this. When he chose the bed before, he only thought about the privacy in the corner.

"Thank you, I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't remind me." Li An said gratefully.

"Hehe, you're welcome." Zeng Chuan smiled.

Li An patted the bed and said, "Sit down and talk."

"You don't want to change the bed? I can help you." Zeng Chuan said.

"Don't worry, I look at the weather. It shouldn't rain in the past two days. It will be the same if we move in two days." Li An said.

"Oh."

Hearing this, Zeng Chuan sat down next to Li An.

Although the little fat man was somewhat familiar, he was only eight or nine years old and not very scheming. After chatting with him for a while, Li An had a good idea of ​​the situation in the academy.

The academy is divided into three buildings: upper, middle and lower. There are only more than 20 people in each building, and the total number of students is less than 80.

The three masters were named Zhou, Qin and Xu respectively.

Master Xu was from Xujiazhuang, and he founded the academy together with Masters Zhou and Qin.
