What Li Yu and his daughter didn't know was that after they left, Qu Xiangbai and Chen Zongwen were also talking about this matter.
"Ah Xiang, why do you suddenly want to take in an apprentice? Didn't your master want you to return to the academy before? He said that even if you couldn't enter the officialdom, he would welcome you to be a teacher in the academy.
I remember that you always refused, saying that you would never touch anyone or anything related to the imperial examinations, and would concentrate on running your bookstore and storytelling business.
So what's going on today? Lin He's case is all about the people and events related to the imperial examination." Chen Zongwen was completely confused.
Qu Xiangbai tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I can't explain why, but I just always feel a little annoyed by this kid and want to teach him a lesson."
…
Chen Zongwen was speechless.
"I don't believe you accepted him as your apprentice just because you dislike him. I can see that you clearly like this guy very much."
Qu Xiangbai didn't refute him, and said: "Maybe she wants to keep him under her nose and see how far he can go in the future. She always feels that he is different from her mother."
Chen Zongwen believed this reason. It was unbelievable that Sister Li, who wrote such a good storybook, was actually a country peasant woman!
Chen Zongwen asked him again: "Do you think he will come? Regarding the matter of becoming your disciple?"
"Yes!" he affirmed.
After saying these two words, Qu Xiangbai picked up the book at hand and started reading, ignoring Chen Zongwen.
He put down the book only after the door closed.
Li Yu knew that his identity was not simple, but to be on the safe side, they would definitely go to Jiang Yueyin to verify their identity.
The moment they knew their identities, they came to become Lin He's disciples in order to make Lin He's future life less difficult.
Besides, he is the boss of Yunshang Book Pavilion, and Li Yu will continue to cooperate with him in the future, so it is impossible to sever the relationship.
The next day, when Li Yu's family and Zhao Yue's mother and daughter arrived in the village, it was still early and some time before noon.
At this time, many people are busy working in the fields. It is already mid-February and it is time to plow the soil.
The villagers were very enthusiastic when they saw them.
"Ahai's mother is back. I heard that your third child passed the imperial examination? I felt that this child was extraordinary since he was young. He is indeed a smart child." An aunt named Liu from the village said.
Another aunt asked Li Yu when the family would hold a banquet to celebrate.
The people around him also agreed with a smile, praising Lin He for his ability, good looks, intelligence, and ability to study.
He also praised Li Yu for her fertility, saying that all three sons were handsome and her daughter was also beautiful.
…
If Li Yu didn't have the original owner's memory, he would have believed it.
When the family was poor, these people often said behind Lin He's back that he was a burden and a bottomless pit that was a drag on the family.
But these people are not bad people. They admire the strong after all!
They just talked about it, Li Yu didn't take it to heart.
But he responded indifferently: "Thank you for the compliment, aunts. As for the banquet, we are not planning to hold one.
But don't worry, when my Ah He passes the imperial examination, I will definitely treat you all to a meal."
After the mule cart passed by, everyone realized that the third son of Lin Laoer's family actually wanted to take the exam. How much money would that cost?
Everyone knows how expensive studying is.
Is Li Yu's family really that rich? Not only is the village building such a big house, but they also want to send their son to study for higher education.
The only old scholar in the village has been taking exams for most of his life, but has not yet passed the examination to become a scholar. Everything he has sold at home is gone.
If he hadn't opened a school in the village, he wouldn't know how he would make a living.
Uncle Lin's family did not go to the fields today, they were all at Li Yu's construction site.
When he saw their mule cart, he hurried back.
Lin Jie stepped forward and patted Lin He on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Ah He."
Lin He smiled and said to him: "Thank you, Fifth Brother, but I haven't congratulated you on becoming a father yet. I was in school last time and couldn't make it back for my two nephews' baptism ceremonies. I'm sorry, Fifth Brother."
"Why are you saying this? Your nephew is at home. You can see him whenever you want, but you can't delay your studies." Lin Jie waved his hand.
"Second sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, please come in quickly. Mom is in the room, as are you brothers and sisters. Don't let your aunt greet you personally." Mrs. Zhong said enthusiastically.
"What are you talking about, aunt? Why do we need you to take care of us when we go back home? Just take care of your own thing and don't worry about us." Lin Qing said softly.
"That's right, Auntie always teases us. I want to have a private conversation with my brothers and sisters, Auntie, please go in."
The despised Zhong family: ...
