A Timely Wife

Chengdong nodded and said, "So that's the case, then your father has never been to school or taken the imperial examinations?"

The corners of Li Ruosong's lips twitched slightly, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "I've been there, why haven't I, it's just that the master in the school said that my father's future is limited, and the imperial examination is held every three years. , who was only nine years old, accidentally fell into the water when the exam was only three days away, and had a high fever. When he recovered, he would naturally miss the exam.

The second time I was going to take the children's exam, my father was 12 years old, but he went to the exam room, and he took my second uncle with him. As a result, he had diarrhea before the exam and delayed the exam. My second uncle was ten years old at the time. He passed the county and township examinations that year, but failed in the college examinations.

The third time there was no need to go. He insisted on marrying my mother and refused to marry my grandmother’s niece. This matter came to the old lady. The old lady saw my mother and agreed to the marriage. After my grandmother combined the horoscope, she set the date for the days when the exam started.

After that, my mother had no children for two years after getting married. She finally got pregnant but was pushed to the ground by my grandmother, and the child could not be kept. So my father, as the eldest son, got married at the age of 15 and got my son when he arrived. My mother I have been in poor health since I was born, and there is no news about it.

My father also knows that he is afraid that he will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in this life, so he pins all his hopes on me.I don't know if my second uncle used up all his luck when he was a child. He did well in the exam when he was ten years old, but he was selected as a scholar at the age of 16. I heard that he was originally a hopeful candidate. From the beginning of the year, the emperor decreed to suspend the imperial examination, and he could only bear the title of a scholar for more than ten years. "

When Li Ruosong said this, he smiled, "You see, their methods are not clever at all, but they have suppressed our family to this point. When the old lady was here, our family of three could still live. After the old lady passed away If it weren't for my mother's generous dowry, our family of three would starve to death in this yard."

Chengdong noticed that when Li Ruosong said this, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly felt a little distressed. His relatives were not well-connected, and his mother was actually very indifferent to him. It's not that his mother didn't love him, but Life is really too hard. A big family is supported by a woman. There are four old people on the top and one child on the bottom. I wish I could live in the unit, but how can I take care of my son.

But his grandparents are very kind to him, maybe it has something to do with his father leaving long ago, as his father's only flesh and blood, his grandparents dote on him very much, as long as he wants, whether it is food or play Yes, his grandparents will buy them for him. In his memory, all the affection from his family is basically given to him by his grandparents.

It is difficult for Chengdong to understand why there is such an elder. In his opinion, if there is no elder, he does not want the child to be well. Even if it is his mother, it is to provide him with a better life. His mother has nothing to do with work and family. He had no choice but to work hard to earn money to support his family. It was never his fault that he couldn't be with him. He knew that the first thing his mother did when he came back from work every night was to go into his room to see him, even if he was asleep.

Therefore, the behavior of Li Ruosong’s grandparents was inconceivable to Chengdong. It’s normal for people to be eccentric, but it’s not normal to be so eccentric. He sighed and patted Li Ruosong’s back lightly. The right to comfort.

Li Ruosong glanced at Chengdong, and suddenly said: "When I was young, I thought that my grandmother didn't like my father and my mother because my father was not good at studying, so I worked very hard in my studies, but later I found out that I don't like my mother when I study. The better it was read, the more disgusted my grandmother was with our family.

I didn't know the reason at the time, but when I grew up, I understood that she was afraid that I would overwhelm my second and third uncles if I read too well, so she didn't want me to study well at all. At that time, I was quite famous, and the old lady loved me more, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged a marriage for me before she died.

I think, at that time, the old lady should have noticed something, but she was just a continuation after all, and she hadn't taken care of it before, and she didn't know how long she could take care of it. Instead of rashly meddling in the affairs of the second room, it's better to think of a way Keep my great-grandson.

My wife passed away when I was six years old, and no one above my grandmother could suppress her, and the attitude towards our eldest house was getting worse and worse. If we hadn’t had the title of the first wife, we might end up like a few concubine uncles.

The imperial examination was reopened six years ago, and I successfully passed the county examination after I got off the court. After that, I followed my father's mistakes, accidentally fell into the water, had a high fever, and failed the government examination. As a result, my second uncle took the Juren examination that year He failed the rankings, but the third uncle passed the examination as a scholar.

In the exam three years ago, I suffered from severe abdominal pain. I tried to finish the exam with pain, but I passed out in the exam room and was carried out. However, my second uncle passed the exam.

When the imperial examinations are re-opened this year, my father broke his leg. As the only son, I naturally have to serve my filial piety in front of me. Naturally, I can’t take any imperial examinations. My father’s leg was broken at the right time, just in time Just when the grandpa proposed to adopt my father, my father's leg was broken. If he hadn't met a doctor who is proficient in orthopedics, he might be lame for the rest of his life.

We've always known what my grandmother was up to, but no matter what she did to us, we just had to live with it. "

Hearing this, Chengdong interrupted Li Ruosong annoyedly, "Why should the son be filial if the mother is not kind?"

Li Ruosong paused, and said: "I don't know what the rules are there. In Dachu, the mother can be unkind, but the son can't be unfilial. If you are sued for unfilial piety, except for the [-]th board, those who have merit will be dismissed." , Those without meritorious service will not be allowed to take the imperial examination in this life, and their descendants will be affected."

Cheng Dong was taken aback. He suddenly remembered what Li Bairen said. At that time, he was a little ignorant and didn't know what Li Bairen said, but now he understands that his behavior during the day was too arrogant. If Li Bairen Mrs. Liu came back to her senses and sued herself, then she couldn't bear it and walked away.
