Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 317 Little Deng's crying complaint was rejected by the Li family (3)
Qu Guangyao and Qu Guangzong kept their heads down and said nothing.In this case, they have heard Ding's servants talk about it at home, and they know it is true.

Li Qubing continued: "The entire Tanzhou Academy has only two candidates for recommendation. Miss Jing asked Dr. Wang to ask Dean Hu for one for Qu Duo, and the other for an adult man whose family died in battle in Beidi. Xiucai. The Xiucai Mansion took the No.30 seven exams, and the last place on the music list."

Only then did Qu Shi realize that there were so many things going on inside, and hurriedly said: "Sister Jing, it's really hard for you."

Li Qubing continued: "It was in Tanzhou at that time, and our Li family could still count. Now it is in Chang'an, at the foot of the emperor, the emperor and queen, princes and concubines, princes and princesses, county kings and princesses, and many high-ranking officials and ministers. The Li family is just a minister of His Majesty."

Qu Shi let out a long sigh.She just cared that this was Chang'an, no matter how Xiao Deng cried and begged just now, she didn't nod her head in agreement.

He Shi nodded approvingly towards Li Qubing.She was thinking of persuading Mrs. Qu, but she only spoke after waiting for Mrs. Deng to leave.Li Qubing, a son, said these words best.

Li Qubing said slowly: "Chang'an Academy, you can enter if you want, even if you entrust your relationship to enter, who will pay for the large expenses of studying every month, what if you fail the Jinshi in the autumn exam, should you continue to entrust Does it have something to do with studying at Chang'an Academy?"

Little Deng's complexion was pale, and his eyes were fixed on the exotic and gorgeous Persian carpet on the floor.

She listened to Ding's servants chatting, Chang'an's prices were more than twice that of Tanzhou, and housing prices were even more frighteningly expensive.

The money in her hand is less than 300 taels, probably not enough for Qu Duo to study in Chang'an Academy for two years.

Her eldest son is seven years old, and her second son is six years old. They have already attended Chang'an School, and the annual tuition fee is 60 taels of silver.

Qu Duo's status as a Juren allows her to receive fifty catties of rice or noodles from the Yamen every season, other than that, she and Qu Duo have nothing to earn.

Before she came to Li's house, she only wanted to let Qu Duo enter Chang'an Academy, and she didn't think about the cost at all.

It would be great if she could have money like Ding's, but her natal family was so poor that she had to rely on her for relief. When she left Tanzhou, she quietly gave her natal family 20 taels of silver and cloth for food.

Li Yunxiao said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, we went to Chang'an Academy to read the list today, and met many descendants of high-ranking officials. They all passed the exam based on their ability, and they did not rely on their connections to enter."

Li Jingjing said: "Our Li family's children and grandchildren take the scientific examination on their own, and there is no one to rely on."

Qu's heart felt very contradictory and uncomfortable, but as Li Qubing said, this place is under the emperor's feet, so you can't use the Li family's reputation to help Qu Duo, who is not a student at all, enter Chang'an Academy.

He shook his head and said: "A few years ago, Changsheng and I advised you and my husband several times. My father is in Beidi, and your whole family will go to Beidi. Qu Duo started from a low-level official position, with my father helping Now, how can your whole family live in such a bad way? If you had listened to it at that time, the lowest official position of Qu Duo is now the seventh rank."

Qu asked: "Sister Yi, is Qu Duo still able to go to the Northland now?"

He Shi said indifferently: "It's not impossible to go now, but my father will be back in a few months, and they will have to rely on themselves from now on."

Little Deng's eyeballs didn't move.

"You don't want to go to the north to suffer, so you just wait for Qu Duo to enter Chang'an Academy and become an official in Chang'an Academy through your relationship. How can there be such a good thing in the world." Li Qubing waved his sleeves and stopped looking at Little Deng.

He waved his hand and asked the servant to help Xiao Deng up, let her sit down and relax, and personally took two fruits for Qu Guangyao and Qu Guangzong who were sobbing so hard to eat.

Qu Shi said: "Little Deng Shi, go back and tell Duo Yazi, ask him to write to his grandfather to ask what to do if he fails the exam?"

Little Deng drooped her head, her eyes were red and swollen, she took her two sons and bowed to several elders, and left the Li family.

Li Jingjing then asked: "How did you do in the exam?"

Li Yunxiao said proudly: "Sister, we did well in the exam!"

Li Qubing sat down and said with a smile: "Mother, sister-in-law, I won the first place on the list today, Xiao Yazi was also ranked ninth in the exam, Yiyang took the exam No. 11, and even Shan Yiyazi took the exam." nineteen."

Qu Shi was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Your rankings in the exam are about the same as Yujie estimated."

Li Yunxiao said loudly: "My master asked my little uncle to take the imperial examination in autumn to compete with brother Ye for the first prize."

Qu's eyes looked forward, but he didn't want to put too much pressure on Li Qubing, and said with a smile: "The number one scholar is not so easy to take the exam. I am very happy to be a Jinshi for Qubing."

Li Qubing said: "Sister Jing, I have something to discuss with you, you can come to my yard to talk."

There are only Qu Shi and He Shi in the hall.

When Qu thought of Xiao Deng and her two sons kneeling and kowtowing, she felt uncomfortable and couldn't help crying.

He came over and wiped Qu's tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Mother, if it weren't for our family, Qu Duo wouldn't even be a Juren."

Only then did Qu Shi feel better.

He frowned and said: "Little Deng has gone too far, I see that she is really not smart, knowing that our family has done its best, she brought her two sons to beg and beg, to make things difficult for you. "

Qu Shi nodded slightly, and after a while, said quietly: "I asked Qu Duo, he is willing to go to the Northland, but Xiao Deng is afraid that there will be chaos and doesn't want to go there."

The He family was displeased: "We didn't let them go to the Xiongnu Dynasty to fight, but they were only in the Qingcheng City Mansion of this dynasty. Why can't they go?"

Qu Shi let out a long sigh.

The He family said solemnly: "It is also the eldest grandson, Qing Yazi is 13 years old, and he is still the son of the eldest son, so I let him join the army and go to the north to fight against the Xiongnu army!"

Qu's eyes gradually cleared up, and said: "Isn't it. My young boy went to the North to fight and endure hardships at such a young age."

Mrs. He shook his head and said: "Mother, Mrs. Deng is not smart. Qu Duo is greedy for comfort, so there is no use for us to worry about it. From now on, we will take less care of Qu Duo's affairs."

Let's say that Xiao Deng brought Qu Guangyao and Qu Guangzong back to the Qu family, and went straight back to the bedroom without saying anything to Ding.

Qu Duo lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his lips moved slightly, and asked, "Where did you go?"

Little Deng cried: "Husband, our mother and son have gone to Li's house. It is useless to kneel and kowtow to my aunt. She refuses to help you enter Chang'an Academy."

Qu Duo sat up, staring and asked angrily, "Who told you to bring your son to beg your aunt?"

Little Deng took half a step back and said, "I begged you when I saw you were in such pain. I also did it for your own good."

Qu Duo asked anxiously: "Who is in the Li family, and what did they say?"

Little Deng told the whole process.

Qu Duo blushed with shame, suddenly hugged his head and burst into tears, saying: "Little uncle is right. I have been wrong all these years, very wrong."
