Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 126 Qu Kuaishou sells Yamada for his son (3)
The family members of the Qu clan decided to repay the kindness of the Li family by giving the Li family one place and another place. The clan organized an examination, and the examination papers were judged by Grandpa Liu himself to determine the candidates.

"Sister Zhu, your Qingyazi is 12 years old. He is literate and understands the truth. He is still underage. He has a bright future in Tanzhou Academy. Your Xiaoyazi will be six years old next year. If Qingyazi doesn't go, Xiaoyazi It's good to go." The patriarch Qu Shun invited Qu Shi to go to the house and told her about the matter, and asked her to give a reply within ten days.

"There are two quotas in the family, and we gave one to our family. Thank you very much." Qu's thanked repeatedly, and when he returned home, he immediately called Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing back from the temple to discuss.

Li Yunqing said: "Grandma, let my father go to Tanzhou Academy to study, and when he comes back from the examination for a scholar in the next year, let my mother be the wife of a scholar."

Li Laoshi glanced at Mrs. He, saw her shaking her head slightly, and said, "I can only read a few words, but I don't know how to write. If I go to the academy to study, I will be laughed at."

Qu's heart was very remorseful, and said: "Back then your uncle asked me to send you to school, but your father insisted on letting you work as a handyman in Guanli. Your father and I are sorry for you, and also for Yiniang."

Li Laoshi's talent for reading is no worse than Li Qubing's.But Li Bing refused to let him go to school. When he was ten years old, he was directly sent to Guanli to work as a handyman to endure hardship.Later, he learned to read from the He family.

If Li Laoshi went to school, he could be admitted as a scholar last year, and if he failed the exam the next year, he would always pass the exam in five years, which is much better than working in Guanli. As for He Huishu's status, the disparity is too great.

"Mother, Dad has his own reasons for making such arrangements. Dad will come back on Mid-Autumn Festival, and he will tell you in person." Mrs. He wanted to tell Mrs. Qu the truth many times, but when he thought of Li Bing's instructions, he couldn't bear it. Living.

Qu shook her head and said, "Your father only stays for a few days every time he comes back, and then leaves. What can you tell me?"

She used to stay in Qujia Village, her family's living conditions were the best in the village, her status was not low, and she was respected.

Now that she has seen the wealth and honor of the Duke's Mansion, she feels that the family is really poor and humble.

She is already old, so it's okay to live like this in the future, but the children and grandchildren are still young, so will they live like this for the rest of their lives?
Feeling pity in He Shi's heart, he said softly: "Mother, you have to trust Dad."

Li honestly said: "Mother, the quota is for Qingyazi, and Qingyazi goes to the academy."

"We wrote a letter to ask Dad about Qing Yazi's going to school, and Dad's reply was to let him work in the temple." He raised his voice, "Daddy is the head of the family, and you don't listen to what Dad says?"

Qu's and Li Laoshi remained silent.

Li Yunqing drooped his head and asked, "Mother, will you let Xiao Yazi go to Tanzhou Academy?"

He Shi said: "Your grandfather is back on Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask Xiaoyazi to ask him if he is allowed to go to Tanzhou Academy to study. If your grandfather agrees, I will let Xiaoyazi enter the academy by himself. Occupy the quota of the Qu clan."

Qu asked suspiciously: "Sister Yi, who do you think this quota is for?"

He Shi said: "Mother, the quota is given to my uncle's family, and it is up to the uncle to decide whether to give it to my cousin or my nephew. My cousin and my nephew have studied for so many years, so they need this quota to go to Tanzhou Academy more than our family."

Li Laoshi nodded and said: "Mother, sister Yi is right."

Li Yunqing said softly: "Grandma, I will listen to my mother."

With tears in her eyes, Qu said movedly: "You gave up this quota for me, right. I'm very happy, but I don't want you to miss such a good opportunity to study."

Li Yunqing went up to wipe Qu's tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Grandma, I will definitely be a steward in the temple in the future. I manage many people every year, and everyone listens to me. I can be an official if I don't study." Manage people."

Qu hugged Li Yunqing, and cried: "My young boy, you are smart, sensible and hardworking. When your grandfather comes back this time, I will ask him face to face why your father has not been allowed to go to school with you, and you have to watch He endured hardships and suffered hardships to earn money.”

When Li Jingjing entered the main room, she saw Qu's and He's wiping tears, Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing's expressions were serious, and they were so frightened that something big happened.

Qu wiped away her tears and said, "Changsheng, sister Yi, I'm going to your uncle's house. You sit and talk."

He held Li Jingjing in his arms and told what happened just now.

Li Jingjing put her mouth against He's ear, and said in a low voice: "Mother, is grandpa going to be a high official when he comes back this time? Will our family be as rich as my aunt's?"

He Shi stared and asked, "Who did you hear that from?"

Li Jingjing blinked and said with a smile, "You and auntie."

He Shi hurriedly said: "You are not allowed to speak outside."

Li Jingjing asked: "How big an official can grandpa be?"

He Shi covered Li Jingjing's small mouth, and said angrily, "Don't say any more."

Seeing that He's eyes were smiling and stopped crying, Li Jingjing nodded and stopped asking.

After a while, Xiao Deng came happily and said that Qu Kuaishou and his wife invited Li's family to Qu's house for dinner in the evening.

After Mrs. Lin was imprisoned, Mrs. Deng took her son back to live with Mr. Qu's parents.

Little Deng's son is almost one year old.She has a very good relationship with Qu Duo, and it was found out that she was pregnant again two months ago.

Because Xiao Deng is pregnant with her second child, she is not as cautious as her first child. She helps Deng with some small tasks, such as passing a message, and can exercise if she is not tired.

The Li family went to Qu's house, and Qu Kuaishou and his wife greeted them with smiles on their faces, and they were very grateful.

It has only been a few days since the Li family refused to help the Qu family last time, and they gave up one of their places to the Qu family.

Qu Shi whispered: "Your cousin is 37 years old, your nephew is young, and there will be opportunities in the future. Your uncle gave your cousin the quota."

Seeing Xiao Deng's excited red face, He asked, "Your nephew doesn't know about it, does he?"

Qu's said: "Your uncle said to tell her after passing the exam in a few days."

He Shi asked, "What about the cost of going to Tanzhou Academy to study?"

Qu said in a low voice: "Your uncle decided to sell the family's fruit mountains, dry fields and some fertile fields, and collect 300 taels of silver to give to your cousin, so that he can save some flowers and use them until the next spring government examination."

He Shi thought of how unconfident Qu Jiujiu was when Qu Kuaishou asked him last time, and he was not very optimistic about the outcome of this matter, but he didn't say anything.

In the evening, Qu Kuaishou drank too much wine, and when he was happy, he even said this time.

Little Deng was bringing a basin of broth from the kitchen into the main room, when he heard this, he was stunned, the porcelain basin shattered in his hand, and the broth splashed all over his body.

Qu Kuai's hands skipped a beat, feeling that it would be unlucky to break the basin, and he shouted displeasedly: "Your father-in-law is my son, and your husband is my grandson. I only have one quota, and if I give it to your father-in-law, do you have any objections?"

The Lin family was locked up, and the Qu family would step on the bench if there was any trouble, and listen to it while lying in front of the iron window. It has been listening for a long time now.
