The Imperial Examination Blessed Wife in the Palm

Chapter 85 Reading Makes Me Happy
After eating and sending Xie Lingzhao off, Lu Weiwei went to Li Che's house with a torch.

Li Che's family was full of gloom, even if Li Che and Li Xiu, who heard the voices, could force smiles all over their faces, it could not dilute the depression of the whole family.

Lu Weiwei didn't talk nonsense, and asked Li Che directly in a low voice: "Cousin Che, I heard from my mother and aunt that Uncle Gensan's situation is not optimistic. Why didn't you tell me and my cousin? No wonder you and sister Xiu both Make it like this."

Hearing this, Li Che no longer concealed the tiredness in his voice, and said in a low voice, "I told you and brother Chang, and it was just to make you worry for nothing. Cousin Wei just came over, and when I go to school tomorrow, tell the five for me first." Let's take a holiday, I won't go to school for the next five days, and stay at home to take care of my father, anyway, studying at home is the same."

It's also better to copy some books and exchange some money back as soon as possible, so as to support his father's medical expenses, otherwise his father may not be able to support it for a few days if the medicine is really cut off.

Lu Weiwei was about to speak when she heard Li Che's father coughing from inside the room. It was really heart-piercing. She felt pain and despair just listening to it, not to mention Li Che's father, who experienced it first-hand, and their close relatives. ?
After a while, Lu Weiwei said: "Brother Che will not be able to learn at all at home, right? The county exam is about half a year away, time is precious, and in my opinion, cousin Che can't afford to delay, so let's go to school. At least go later in the morning and come back earlier in the afternoon."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xiu who couldn't help weeping silently in the dark, "Sister Xiu, go and help Aunt Gensan take care of Uncle Gensan, I have a few words to say to your brother."

Hearing this, Li Xiu took a deep look at her, "Cousin Wei, please try to persuade my brother, he really can't afford to delay." Then she went into the room sobbing.

Lu Weiwei took a few steps forward, grabbed Li Che's hand, and stuffed the ten taels of silver note that had been prepared in advance, "Cousin Che, it's definitely not enough for you to copy the books, you use your hands and your eyes are useless." I'm afraid you won't be able to exchange for the third uncle's medical expenses. Take this bank note and use it first, and then tell me when you use it up later. No matter what, you can't delay the county test. I know you are suffering, but half a year Compared with a lifetime of suffering, even a fool would know which side to choose, and Cousin Che is so smart, he must know better, so I don’t need to say more, right?”

Li Che was still struggling to return the silver ticket to her, "Cousin Wei, I can't take your silver, I know it's not easy for you and Aunt Lu..."

But after struggling a few times, he couldn't break free from Lu Weiwei's hand, and her hand was so soft and slippery that he subconsciously didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting her and breaking it.

After hearing the second half of Lu Weiwei's words, she still didn't make any more money, so she said in a low voice: "Cousin Wei, thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."

Lu Weiwei then withdrew her hand and said: "Brother Che, don't say such things, the most urgent thing is to cure Uncle Gensan's illness. As for the silver, it won't be too late to pay me back when you win next year. Me and I Although my mother is not rich, she still has Yu Yin. Besides, don’t you still have my uncle and aunt? After all, don’t think too much, otherwise, if you have three uncles...you will really spend money and people... ...It will take three years to take the exam again, and I really can't afford to delay."

Once Li Che's father is gone, Li Che will have to keep his filial piety immediately, won't he have to delay the county examination next year?

So whether it's about emotion or reason, his father must be cured now, and his studies must not be delayed for a day!

Why didn't Li Che understand this in his heart, so he couldn't tell anyone, and he couldn't tell it.

I didn't expect that Lu Weiwei could think of these things, and thought of them ahead of time for him... After a while, he said solemnly: "I will definitely win next year, and then I will help Cousin Wei in the same boat and help each other for the rest of my life!"

Lu Weiwei laughed, "Then I'll wait and see next year. But Cousin Che has to work harder. I won't let you go on weekdays, and I won't let you go when the County Examination Institute takes the exam. Don't lose, I lose too ugly!"

Li Che also laughed, "Who will win, we will know at that time, Cousin Wei, just wait and see!"

At that moment, Lu Weiwei talked to him a few more words, thinking that she had to go home to give Xie Lingzhao the test paper, so she said goodbye and left.

The rest of Li Che watched her back completely disappear into the darkness, and then went back to his house with a warm heart.

noon the next day.

Lu Weiwei looked in front of her eyes and it was clear that she had lowered the difficulty level. To put it bluntly, if you go to the Mengtong Class and grab any student, you can answer [-] to [-]%, but Xie Lingzhao's answers are messed up. I don't know the so-called test papers. Want to hit someone.

Her fingertips were trembling, "Xie Lingzhao, are you really 17 this year, not seven? Seven-year-olds are better than you! You have been in the county school for five years, even if you sleep in class every day, Never listen to lectures, never do homework, you have never eaten pork, and you have watched the pig run for so long, you should have learned something, you can run a few steps, you are really, really..."

Lu Weiwei is very regretful now, very regretful.

She is really crazy to persuade such a scumbag among the scumbags to study. This is asking for guilt.

Xie Lingzhao still knew how to be ashamed, looked at Lu Weiwei cautiously and said: "Didn't I tell you, Lu Wei, that I am really not that kind of material, and my background is terrible, you, you...how about , let me stop learning, so as not to make you angry..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei yelled, "You're dreaming! You must learn from me, and you must learn from me well! I'll make a study plan for you tonight, so don't go to our house for dinner tonight. Go back earlier and read all the Four Books and Five Classics for me... No, I can’t overwhelm the growth, you read "The Analects of Confucius" first, not only read it, but also memorize it for me, the kind of fluent! When did you memorize it backwards, what? You can only go to our house for dinner again, otherwise you will never even think about going to our house in the future!"

She still doesn't believe it, she really can't carve this piece of rotten wood into a beautiful handicraft!

Xie Lingzhao made a bitter face, "Even if you want to learn, you can't let me eat, right? The cook at home is really far behind Aunt Lu in cooking, and if I read and recite at home, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in many places." I understand, I don’t have the self-control. Who in my family dares to control me? Or, I’d better go to your house for dinner, and read at your house after eating? I can ask you for advice at any time, or you can restrain me at any time no?"

Lu Weiwei hehe, "You are not afraid of being despised by my cousin, just go. Although he is only ten years old, I see that he is much more knowledgeable than you. He is also much better at writing than you. Look at your hand. Crawling, really, when I first entered the elementary school class, I was better at writing than you are now!"

"Then my foundation is so poor, what can I do? If I am as good as you, Lu Wei, what else should I learn?" Xie Lingzhao continued to fight for himself in a low voice, "Just let me go, at most I have eaten I'll just go home, and I'll definitely study till midnight when I get home, I swear, it's all over, right? I made an appointment with your cousin yesterday to have an arm wrestling today..."

When Lu Weiwei thought about it, she couldn't push him too hard, or she would be tired of studying in a few days, which would be a big trouble.

Finally let go, "Okay, then you go to eat, but go home early after dinner, don't stay. "The Analects" is not long, at most three days... OK, OK, I will give you ten days, You will definitely be able to recite it backwards in ten days, as long as you can recite it backwards, and you will see its meaning after reading the book a hundred times, you can continue to read "The Great Learning."

"According to this calculation, it takes more than a month to memorize the Four Books alone, and another two months to memorize the Five Classics. My God, don't I think I will have a good life this year?"

"It's not just this year. If you don't study hard, it will be the same next year... Don't be afraid. In fact, as long as you find the right method, studying is still very fun and a sense of accomplishment."

"I believe you are weird."

"Really, you can see that I am so happy every day, but it is all brought about by reading. Reading makes me happy, and reading makes me refreshed. I love reading!"

"Why do I get weirder the more I listen..."

In the evening, Xie Lingzhao really didn't break his promise. After having dinner at Li's house and breaking wrists with Li Chang a few times, he obediently went home.

As for whether he will study until the third watch as promised after returning home, only Ming'er will know.

Lu Weiwei couldn't control so much for the time being, so she just drew up a preliminary study plan for Xie Lingzhao under the lamp.

Fortunately, I saw Xie Lingzhao at the school the next day. There was a blue shadow under his eyelids. Lu Weiwei casually said a few words from the Analects and asked him to pick it up. of.

Only then did Lu Weiwei laugh, "I asked my mother to buy fresh blue crabs early this morning, and make them spicy crabs tonight as a reward."

Xie Lingzhao yawned, "Lu Wei, will I really have to stay up like this every night in the future? After a long time, I will definitely not be able to hold on. It is difficult not to doze off during the day at school. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

Lu Weiwei hehe, "It's as if you didn't doze off before. What's more, even if you don't doze off, are you sure you can understand what the master is saying? If you don't read the Four Books and Five Classics by heart first, everything is useless. Otherwise, your class I also recite your books, so I can recite a little less at night."

Xie Lingzhao had a bitter expression on his face, "Lu Wei, you are really cruel... No, I mean you are doing it for my own good, and I will listen to you."

Lu Weiwei smiled: "It's not too bad, then you go to the classroom first, I'm going to our classroom too, I'll see you in the afternoon."

In the next few days, Xie Lingzhao worked and rested strictly according to the study plan formulated by Lu Weiwei. Although he was dizzy and mushy from reciting the memorization, his dark circles became more and more serious day by day.

But in Lu Weiwei's soft and hard ways, the soft is the food temptation and the sugar-coated cannonballs such as the clothes, shoes and socks that Li Shi made for him, and the hard is that Xie Lingzhao is not allowed to go to their house again, and he is not allowed to come to her again—— Next, Xie Lingzhao dared to be angry and dare not speak out, but he was obedient.

In Lu Weiwei's heart, the restlessness and collapse of "reforming a scumbag is so short-lived" has eased a little, and she feels that her plan to turn a dead wood into a baby should still have some hope.

Xie Lingzhao suddenly "turned back to the good and devoted himself to learning", the most gratified person was not Lu Weiwei and Li Shi, nor his wives, but Jiang Sheng.

It was a rare day to take a rest, so Xie Lingzhao invited Li Chang to his house to learn how to ride a horse, and Lu Weiwei naturally accompanied him.

After everyone drank tea, ate watermelon, and talked for a while in Xie Lingzhao's spacious and gorgeous flower hall where Lu Weiwei couldn't help but eat lemons, Li Chang couldn't wait to see the horses, so he urged Xie Lingzhao to go to the stables to see the horses. After finishing, I plan to test run in the front yard of Xie's house. Anyway, according to Xie Lingzhao, the venue is big enough.

Lu Weiwei didn't want to bask in the sun. The sun in May and June can really make people's head hurt, let alone get a tan.

She then excused that she didn't sleep well last night, "I'll take a nap and go find you again."

Xie Lingzhao and Li Chang were sent away.

Then I picked up another piece of watermelon, and ate it comfortably. I planned to eat the melon later, and then walk around along the corridor of Xie Lingzhao's house. The authentic Jiangnan garden, she has never seen it since she came here. It's so easy to have a chance today, so I have to appreciate it.

But just after eating a piece of melon, Jiang Sheng came in with a smile on his face, "Mr. Lu, why didn't you go to the stable? There are many horses in the stable, and there is a mare that is very docile. You will definitely like it."

Lu Weiwei waved her hand, "As a child, I'm a quiet person who doesn't like to move. Uncle Sheng, leave me alone and just go about your business."

Jiang Sheng didn't just leave, but smiled again: "Mr. Shen is a gentleman at first glance. If you don't mind, let me talk to you for a while?"

Lu Weiwei understood, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sheng has something to say to me, but it's okay, I'm all ears."

Jiang Sheng hurriedly said: "I can't afford to say that Mr. Shen. In fact, I want to thank Mr. Shen face to face. My uncle has been studying until the third watch every night these days. Those of us persuade him to go to bed early. He also refused to say anything, saying that since he promised you to study hard in the future, he must do it, so as to live up to your painstaking efforts and Lingtang's kindness."

"Shen Xianggong doesn't know, my wife is the dowry maid of Mrs. Xian, and I grew up with Mrs. Xian when I was a child, and our husband and wife grew up watching my uncle grow up. kids are no different."

"But the uncle has a hard life. He has no mother when he is a child. He lives in gold-plated gold, and no one has ever disciplined him. Mr. Shen is the first one to teach him. It is even more rare that the uncle is willing to listen to you. Really I am so dedicated to learning, I don’t know how to thank you in my heart. Even if my wife Quan Xia knows, she will be very pleased. Let me kowtow to Mr. Shen. Apart from kowtow, I can’t think of other ways to thank you. Talk about a way to express my heart."

While speaking, he took a few steps forward, knelt down to Lu Weiwei, respectfully kowtowed his head, "I will remember Mr. Shen's kindness. In the future, if Mr. Shen needs it, I will do my best. Do whatever you want!"

Lu Weiwei stood up in a hurry and avoided it, "Uncle Sheng, what are you doing? I can't afford it. Get up, get up."

Jiang Sheng raised his head, but didn't stand up, still gratefully said: "Mr. Shen can afford it, really, one thousand, ten thousand can afford it. Listen to my uncle, our family's affairs Mr. Shen already knows everything he should know? Then let me tell you something you don't know..."

Lu Weiwei hurriedly interrupted him, "Uncle Sheng, if you want to say something, get up first. If you insist on saying this, I have no choice but to kneel in front of you and listen to you."

Jiang Sheng was really anxious when he saw Lu Weiwei, thinking that ordinary people would kneel and be kneeled at every turn, it's no wonder he couldn't stand it.

He didn't insist anymore, stood up from the ground, asked Lu Weiwei to sit down again, thought about it for himself, and sat halfway across from Lu Weiwei, then smiled and said: "Mr. It is his good fortune to have a friend like you."

Lu Weiwei waved her hand, "Uncle Sheng killed me."

Jiang Sheng was no longer polite, and said with a smile: "I just said that I want to tell Mr. Shen something you don't know, so I will say it. The old man has really suffered these years, and we, the wife's companions, have no Living a good life, I was so oppressed that I couldn't even breathe. Since the uncle came to Tianquan, the wife of the family gave the old lady's dowry and companion room to the uncle, and we can finally breathe a little bit."

"The same is true for the uncle. After coming to Tianquan, even if he was actually exiled by the Duke and his family in disguise, Tianquan is far inferior to the capital. We are all wronged for the uncle, and the uncle himself is full of pain and irritability. The uncle is comfortable in basic necessities of life, at least he doesn’t have to be wronged and bullied every day. But even if the uncle is willing to live in Tianquan for the rest of his life, it may be an extravagant hope after Mrs. Tai goes. After all, the uncle is the eldest son. No matter how much the Duke of the country hates him, he can't openly destroy the order of the uncle and make other people his heirs. Even if the emperor encounters such a thing, he can't do whatever he wants, otherwise the whole capital and even the world will be chaotic. Set up?"

Now it is Xie Lingzhao's grandmother who is protecting him, and it is his grandmother who forced him to die in exchange for his cleanliness in the past few years.

It is also because Xie Lingzhao and the woman's sons are not too old to be a son.

Once his grandmother was gone one day, Xie Lingzhao, a stumbling block, should naturally be removed, or even disappear forever.

Jiang Shengyue said in a lower voice, "Nowadays, the Duke's wife can't tolerate the uncle. Because of the Duke's favor and the power of her mother's family, she has always been too lazy to save face. Later, the uncle hurt her son's eyes. , her hatred for the uncle is even more undisguised. I am really worried that if the wife is gone, the life of the uncle will be in danger... and the only way is to let the uncle let himself Become stronger, become so strong that they dare not touch him lightly, become so strong that the uncle... I don't even bother to be the son of the Xie family anymore, and I can live a good life for a lifetime without having to make compromises."

"In recent years, we old people have lost all our thoughts. Whether it is the position of the son of the eldest son or the family business, it doesn't mean that the uncle is the eldest son, so we will definitely have it. We have given up our hearts. It's safe and sound. It's a pity that no matter how I try to persuade you, the uncle won't listen to a word, and it will be five years of neglect."

"Fortunately, Master Shen is still willing to listen to what Mr. Shen said, and he has really started to study hard. I am not afraid of Mr. Shen's jokes. I have cried secretly several times in the past few days, and I am so excited that I don't know what to do. If Shen If Mr. Xiang doesn’t come, I will also go to visit Mr. Shen and kowtow to Mr. Shen. I will never forget your great kindness in my life!”

Lu Weiwei waited for Jiang Sheng to finish speaking, then Fang smiled and said, "Uncle Sheng, really don't say that, I didn't do anything, just persuaded Xie Lingzhao a few words, and he had the heart to listen to my words, otherwise I mean it's useless to break the sky. Whether it is now or in the future, he is the one who works hard and stays up all night studying hard. At best, I just moved my mouth. If you have to thank me, then I should thank you. Thank you Ling Zhao, and you should also thank yourself."

Jiang Sheng said emotionally: "It was Mr. Shen who persuaded my uncle first. It was not someone else. It was because of this cause that there was the result later. Mr. Shen deserves his gratitude."

After a pause, "What's more, I have to trouble you in the future. We all know that you are the head of the county school. In the future, I have to ask Mr. Shen to give more pointers to my uncle, so that you don't have time to give him pointers, and let him follow you more." It is also good to be influenced and nurtured by you, let me kowtow to you again!"

As he spoke, he wanted to get up and kneel down to Lu Weiwei.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei hurriedly jumped up, "Uncle Sheng, don't knock anymore. If you don't tell me, I will point out your uncle. He is not only your uncle, but also my friend, isn't he? Well, I will find Xie Lingzhaohe My cousin is gone, you can do what you want."

Immediately, he strode out and forgot to ask Jiang Sheng where the stables were, for fear that Jiang Sheng would kowtow again if he was delayed.

It was when Jiang Sheng saw that she was leaving as soon as she said so, and hurriedly called a boy to lead her the way, so that Lu Weiwei had a direction, and she didn't have to be as confused as a headless fly.

He also let out a long breath of relief.

How come she kneels at every turn? It's a good thing she didn't dress up as a girl or something, otherwise her knees would have been ruined long ago, right?
However, Jiang Sheng was well-intentioned. He told her about Xie Lingzhao's miserable future, and he used words to force her to discipline and guide Xie Lingzhao. Xie Lingzhao is considered lucky to have such a loyal servant. up.

Forget it, even if Jiang Sheng doesn't say or ask, she will have to discipline and guide Xie Lingzhao to the end. The path she chose to transform the scumbags, of course, has to be walked on her knees, right?
