After escaping from famine, the evil stepmother was pampered by the villain Zaizai Tuan

Ouyang He looked at him coldly.

But Li Yuanzhi smiled flatteringly and took two steps forward, "Mr. Ouyang stayed at students' homes for half a year when they were studying on a study tour ten years ago, giving lectures and teaching to students. He was their mentor."

"The year before last, the student had the honor to meet my husband at the Jinzhou Poetry and Prose Conference."

"How can you say you don't remember, sir?"

Ouyang He rolled his eyes at Li Yuanzhi and said, "Huh, changing your name is so sneaky, you really don't know what it means!"

His dissatisfaction seemed to have subsided a little, and he raised his hand and said, "You have been standing for so long, please sit down."

A middle-aged servant came in, served tea to the guests, and then left.

The two of them drank tea quietly for a while in the study.

Ouyang He raised his eyes first and asked angrily, "Why did you change your name? Why did you leave home and the academy, and there is no news about it for a year?"

Li Yuanzhi sighed in his heart, and he knew that this question would inevitably come up today.

A somewhat relaxed smile appeared on his face and he said, "Didn't you tell me that reading thousands of books means traveling a thousand miles?"

"I'm just tired of being idle and want to travel by myself and look around."

Ouyang He was a little angry, "You want to travel, why has anyone restrained you?"

"You can go if you want. As for hiding your name and not hearing anything from you? You are giving up on yourself!!"

Li Yuanzhi was silent for a while, still with a smile on his face, "That's what you taught me, sir."

Ouyang He breathed out a heavy breath, rather hating the fact that iron is not as strong as steel, "Now that you have come to the capital."

"Are you planning to participate in this year's Spring Festival?"

Li Yuanzhi lowered his eyes, "The student... has no such plan."

Ouyang He put down the tea cup, "What did you say?"

"You were born to take the imperial examination and official career. You said you have no plans?"

"Do you just want to hang out doing nothing in this life?"

Li Yuanzhi raised his eyes again and smiled brightly, "To be honest, sir, I have found a new job."

“Enough to support oneself and support oneself.”

Ouyang He was startled, "What kind of livelihood?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "I work in a family's house."

"It's just that I do a lot of things. I help my master escape from famine, write prescriptions, ask for prices and sell things to make money, buy things, oh, and teach four children to read."

Ouyang He thought he heard wrongly at first.

After hearing this, his expression became complicated, and he looked at Li Yuanzhi with an indescribable expression.

After Li Yuanzhi finished speaking, he showed off and smiled.

Ouyang He stared at him for a long time and sighed, "Now there is a sense of enlightenment and freedom in your eyes."

Li Yuanzhi deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and joked, "Sir, don't worry, students will never reach the state of pure six roots in this life."

"I have to continue to bother you in this mortal world."

Ouyang He chuckled, and the atmosphere became less tense than before.

He smiled and said, "Last month I wrote to your father and brother asking for news about you, and they are also looking for you everywhere."

"All the servants and retainers who can be dispatched are dispatched."

"You kid can't see anyone."

"Today you took the initiative to find me here. You must come to my door for any reason."

Li Yuanzhi bowed slightly and said, "Sure enough, the student's thoughts cannot be hidden from the teacher at all."

Ouyang He raised his hand casually, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Yuanzhi said, "My customer has also moved into Xingyuan Lane. From now on, my husband and I will be neighbors."

"The four children in the family want to be sent to Xingyuan Academy. Please teach them personally, sir."

Ouyang He shook his gray eyebrows and said, "Aren't you their teacher?"

"What are you looking for me for?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled apologetically, "Sir, you know my temper well."

"It's okay to teach for a few days, but if I really want to teach and educate people, I have neither the state of mind nor the ability."

Ouyang He pondered for a moment, "Okay, I promise you."

"But you also have to answer my question truthfully."

The old eyes under the gray eyebrows stared closely at Li Yuanzhi, as if they wanted to see through his heart.

Li Yuanzhi stood up and bowed solemnly, "Sir, please speak."

Ouyang He said, "Give up the path that Cui arranged for you, give up the imperial examination, and spend your whole life in the market."

"Have you really decided to do this?"

Li Yuanzhi and Ouyang He looked at each other, their eyes unflinching, "I have not decided."

"So I want to find the answer through my own path."

Ouyang He nodded, "For you young people, life may still be very long."

"But when I, an old man, look back, I can only see gray hair and gray hair."

He said meaningfully, "I hope you won't think about it for too long."

Li Yuanzhi made an appointment to send the children to school tomorrow morning, then said goodbye and left.

Ouyang He looked at the empty courtyard and sighed, "I have never seen him have such a relaxed expression in the past."

Cui is the true genius of this generation.

It seems that we have received the most attention since birth, but we also carry the heaviest burden.

Just like red plum trees, although they are proud of the snow, they are also afraid of strong winds and heavy snowstorms, and their branches may break due to the heavy snow.

Ouyang He has no answer in his heart whether Li Yuanzhi is better off as he is now or as the sixth master of Cui.

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaohua went to a nearby pharmacy alone to buy raw materials.

She went to three drug stores to get the supplies she needed for the test.

A small wind stove, a small casserole, a roller, and a small rock made of stone.

In addition, there are bottles, jars, brushes, spoons, and various medicinal materials and spices.

The four little ones had finished their homework for the day and took the initiative to help make medicine, add charcoal to the stove and fan the stove.

Liu Guang waved his fan, still a little unwilling.

"Mom, aren't you going out this afternoon?"

"Don't you still have a lot of things that you haven't bought yet?"

He is too curious about the capital now, so he wants to find opportunities to go out and see more.

Jiang Xiaohua stirred the white paste in the bowl without raising her eyelids.

"Oh, the rest is not something we need urgently anyway."

"When you go to school tomorrow, Mr. Li and I will take care of things."

"School?" Liu Guang exclaimed, "Why didn't I know!"

Liu Yong, Liu Ming, and Xiao Miaomiao also raised their heads in surprise.

"Don't you know?" Jiang Xiaohua glanced at Li Yuanzhi, "You didn't tell them?"

Li Yuanzhi smiled, "No, I think you might want to give them a surprise."

"It's better for you to say."

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the expressions of the cubs one after another, and especially focused on Liu Guang's face for a moment.

She raised the corners of her lips happily, "Surprises are indeed more interesting."

Liu Guang's face was wrinkled as if he had just eaten sour apricots.

"Didn't we agree that we should get used to it before going to school in a few days? How come it's so fast!"

But Liu Ming couldn't hold back his joy and said, "Mom, is there a husband willing to take us in so soon?"

Jiang Xiaohua nodded, "It's in our alley, Xingyuan Academy, Old Master Ouyang."

"You also heard what Madam Song said that day."

"The old master is a famous teacher. It's not easy to get admission."
