Chapter 28

It is one thing to have a good neighborhood relationship, and it is another thing to accept it as a disciple. Many students have visited Mr. Qi over the years. Mr. Qi refused on the grounds of being old and lacking energy. So the couple really didn't have enough confidence in this matter.

Xu You sighed deeply. Just as Jiang was about to comfort him, he smiled and hugged her tightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, my uncle agreed.

I will hand in my resignation tomorrow, and when the higher authorities send me a new teacher to take over, I will go home and study with peace of mind.

A Qiao, unfortunately, this year's palace examination has only passed, we have to wait for another three years. In these three years, you have to support me."

Back then, the Xu family lost its territory and sold all the land, leaving only this ancestral house. The little salary he gave her after marriage may be able to support his daily use alone. It is impossible for the mother and daughter to live so rich.

Before, the two were in name only, he could accept her use of dowry to subsidize the mother and daughter to wear. Now, he must assume the responsibility he deserves.

Maybe he can't give her anything in three or five years, but sooner or later, he will protect them behind him and enjoy the glory.

The man has not spoken for a long time, and seems to have something to worry about.

Jiang shrank into his arms, "Don't say this, you haven't taken the exam again, it's because of me."

She knows it all.

"yes."

Xu You looked at her and said, "For you, for today, I will be willing to wait for another ten years."

There was no scientific examination at the beginning, but it was really for her. Otherwise, he would have become an official, whether in Beijing or outside the country, as his wife, she had to take office with him, not only for the people of the town, but also for the children.

Xu You didn't want to let her follow him against her will because of these concerns, making her worried that the person would not be able to find her when he came back... So he would rather give up his future and wait with her.

Now, his daughter belongs to him and she belongs to him. Everything in the family is peaceful, and he must work hard to make a future.

.

Mr. Qi was hungover for a night. When he woke up in the morning, his brain hurt. Mrs. Qi just happened to bring water in. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Come and help me rub it, it's uncomfortable."

"I deserve it, who made you drink so much?

I don’t even look at how old I am. I ask A Jing to come back in the middle of the night. I feel embarrassed.”

Old Mrs. Qi put down her things, walked to the edge of the kang, and said in anger while massaged the old man's forehead.

For old couples, Mr. Qi automatically ignored the unpleasant ones and enjoyed his wife's service with peace of mind. After a while, he opened his eyes and said regretfully: "I know I am not an official, but I still claim to be able to see people clearly. I didn't expect to see Xu You and took a look.

He made a move last night and had no choice but to accept him as his disciple.

Alas, there is no leisure to come back here.”

"Come on, do I think I don't know?

After the New Year, I will send my second son to study with you. You accept Xu You, mainly because you want him to help you teach your grandson?

Xu You is a juren. You can understand some things with a little mention. How old the second child is, you have to start from scratch. It is clear that you took advantage of Xu You."

Old Mrs. Qi immediately exposed his little thoughts.

"That was also brought by himself," Mr. Qi sat up slowly, looked at his wife with a smile and said, "After all, he took advantage of it. I just took the opportunity to hide in my leisure time, but for him it was a major event that concerns his future."

Old Mrs. Qi naturally understood this truth, but she still couldn't help but persuade: "After all, I'm a neighbor. Since Xu You is willing to make progress, then you can teach me well and don't fool others."

"Of course, I either don't accept him, and I will give him all my gifts."

Mr. Qi had already stood on the ground. He didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly sighed: "How great would it be if Ajing had this kind of heart..."

When talking about Changsun, Old Mrs. Qi was also worried, "Why do you advise A Jing again?

It wasn't me who said it nicely on purpose. This child has become much more sensible after he was sick, so maybe he can listen to it this time.

No matter what, he is thirteen, but his father is eighteen and he is the one who is thirteen."

Recalling his son's style back then, Old Mrs. Qi's eyes showed nostalgia, and she really missed her son and grandson in the capital.

Unfortunately, Changsun refused to get along with him. In order to reassure his son, the old couple had to take Changsun back.

Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said, "Okay, then I'll talk about him after dinner."

After discussion, the old couple went to the side hall for dinner together. When they entered the door, they saw that Qi Jing was already waiting for them.

"Grandfather, grandmother."

Qi Jing said hello calmly, and at first glance, a very sensible boy.

After the meal, Mr. Qi took his eldest grandson to the study room, and after entering, he opened the right path: "Ajing, you also saw it last night. Your Uncle Xu is nearly thirty years old and is still working hard to improve. Why?

Isn’t it just to show your ambitions and serve the court, and to make your wife and daughter live a better life?

As a man, you must develop your own abilities, otherwise your relatives and wives will not be able to afford to see you in the future.

Tell me about my grandfather, what do you think?

People like us who come from the imperial examinations have no other way to make a name for themselves except to study."

Qi Jing was silent.

He had never considered marrying a wife and having children, but he really had to learn a skill and support himself in the future.

"Grandfather, teach me, I'll learn from you."

The old man was very serious, and Qi Jing decided to work hard again.

His attitude was so good. Mr. Qi was surprised. Seeing that Qi Jing's expression was sincere and not as fake, he sighed with relief, called Qi Jing to his side, told him an article, and after that, he asked him if he understood.

Qi Jing recalled the strange allusions while listening. Although his face was calm and steady, he could tell who Mr. Qi was? Without Qi Jing's answer, he could see it just by looking at the boy's confused eyes.

Actually, Mr. Qi is not very patient. When he meets a smart student who is so smart, he is very happy. When he meets a stupid person, his enthusiasm for teaching is immediately gone.

If Qi Jing hadn't been his biological grandson, he would have been too lazy to persuade him to study, and he would have wished such a stupid person as far away as possible from him.

"Forget it, you memorize this passage first, and I'll check you back."

Mr. Qi looked at Changsun with a grudge and went out with his hands behind his back. He thought about calling Xu You over quickly. He taught Xu You and asked Xu You to teach his grandson for him.

He doesn't expect to be in the top three, but he can pass the Jinshi exam and get a job with a job.

Mr. Qi left, but his disappointed eyes seemed to remain before leaving.

Qi Jing stood silently, feeling complicated.

He has good hunting skills, but he understands that Mr. Qi will not let him go out to hunt and survive.

Escape?

No, first, his body is still in the hands of the little girl, and he cannot ignore it, and second, it is not easy to leave. Besides, the two old men are so kind to him that he can't bear to make them sad.

How to gain a foothold if you stay?

As a former strong man, he disliked the disappointed and contemptuous eyes of others.

I don’t know how long it took, but Qi Jing came back to his senses from his confusion, thought for a while, and walked to Mr. Qi’s bookcase.

There were countless books here, and he walked slowly, drawing them casually. He read them briefly before putting them back.

As he flipped over, his heart gradually became irritable and impatient. Qi Jing couldn't help but speed up and was about to leave after watching the defecation.

He wanted to work hard, but unfortunately, this method was probably not suitable for him.

But just when Qi Jing decided to give up, his eyes accidentally passed a heavy book above the bookshelf, and suddenly he could no longer move.

It was a biography of famous generals of all dynasties. As soon as the word "famous general" was caught, some memories of the original person in the capital suddenly surged up.

The broad and neat streets, the burly general sitting on the high horse, the soldiers with their heads raised and their chests were neatly paced...

With seventy-seven-point curiosity, Qi Jing took down the book and turned it around a page.

"… Jiang Guang, the general of the Great Qi Dynasty, led 30,000 iron-armored troops to kill 80,000 enemies in the battle of Longyuan..."

After watching the outstanding military achievements of the three generals in a row, Qi Jing's blood seemed to be boiling all over his body.

It turns out that this place is not all weak scholars. It turns out that there is also a prey of the weak here.

Whether they charge in battle, leading the army to kill the enemy, or making plans, they are all powerful people on the battlefield.

Battlefield, another hunting ground.

The eyes suddenly became clear, and Qi Jing finally discovered the road that belonged to him.

Mr. Qi may come back at any time. If he sees him impliciting the letter without obediently, he will probably be angry?

So Qi Jing took the book to the backyard and prepared to read it quietly and carefully. After understanding it thoroughly, he would tell Mr. Qi his decision. Otherwise, he would have only a little understanding of it. If his grandfather asked him the reason, he would probably not be able to answer.

Unexpectedly, he had just sat under the tree when he heard the voice of the little girl from the next yard, "Baozhu, go and bring the water."

Qi Jing frowned and suddenly remembered her nonsense yesterday.

She knew that Dabai was...hero, so why did she wear flowers on Dabai?

Qi Jing couldn't help but put down the book, listened with his ears, and confirmed that she was the only one there. He walked quietly under the wall, jumped gently and jumped onto the wall.

His eyes fell on Dabai at the first time. Seeing that it was not wearing the flower today, the boy's frowning brow finally stretched out.

Fortunately, it seems that the little girl knows she did something wrong.

After reassurance, Qi Jing was about to jump before the other party found him, but he lowered his head. Xu Jin saw him with sharp eyes and asked crisply: "What are you doing there?"

Qi Jing looked at her, then looked at Dabai who had already run to the wall and looked up at him, not knowing how to speak.
