return to the garden

Zhang Xiaoli glanced at Zhang Yueyao, then at Liao Qing, and suddenly dragged Liao Qing away without saying a word, leaving only Zhang Yueyao standing there with red eyes——

Liao Qing watched his young daughter-in-law walking ahead, looked back at Zhang Yueyao, remembered the panic just now, pursed his lips, and took half of Zhang Leyao's luck away——

"Did you smoke again?" Zhang Xiaoli, who was walking in front just now, suddenly looked back* at Liao Qing.

Liao Qing nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Xiaoli continued to walk ahead and look at things. After a while, Liao Qing remembered that there was a word "you" in Zhang Xiaoli's words.

"You smoked once just now?" Liao Qing saw that Zhang Xiaoli was holding pickled green plums ready to eat, and quickly brought them over. "I told you that you can only eat two at most, otherwise what should I do if my teeth are knocked down?"

"Okay——" Zhang Xiaoli flattened his mouth, and there was a green plum in his mouth, which bulged to the left and then to the right, looking like a little hamster, so cute.

"It's just a matter of time—" Zhang Xiaoli said to Liao Qing inarticulately while eating the big green plum in his mouth.

Liao Qing nodded, "But once you smoke, I'll smoke once, she may be unlucky enough to be able to wrestle on flat ground—"

But those things are not what they should care about...

On the third day, Tan Weili and Zhang Xiaolin participated in the hospital examination. They were still dressed in thin clothes. Fortunately, it was the beginning of March and the weather was gradually getting warmer, so although they were wearing thin clothes, they were not It's like when you take the child's entrance examination, the whole person freezes up——

Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli sent the two of them to the examination room, and when they got there, Zhang Xiaoli handed the basket to Zhang Xiaolin, then shrank into Liao Qing's arms as if feeling cold——

Zhang Xiaolin was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food, only to feel that he was sour like a lemon——

Feeling a little bit like a heart attack——

After this test, generally speaking, Zhang Xiaolin did very well in the test. However, it took Zhang Xiaolin less than a year from literacy to reading. If so, after the exam, I feel that it is not as good as the first one——

"Don't be anxious if you don't do well in the exam. Many of them are in their 40s and [-]s in order to test for talents—" Lin Qiu is used to being straightforward on weekdays.

Liao Qing rubbed Zhang Xiaolin's head, "Don't worry, you should be able to pass, but after this exam, you have to accumulate two more years before continuing the exam. I really thought wrong at the beginning. Are you the only one?" Less than a year into the book—”

"Well——" Zhang Xiaolin nodded, "But I think the arithmetic is quite simple—"

Tan Weili also thought about it, and the two of them checked the arithmetic answer in the carriage——

This time the results came out relatively slowly, and it took almost half a month to start posting the red list. Naturally, Tan Weili did very well in the exam, and got the leader. Relatively speaking, Zhang Xiaolin was not as good, but he also did well in the exam, No .20 two...

This time, it is a good news. Relatively speaking, the battle is much bigger, but the main battle is still aimed at Tan Weili, the leader——

In order to celebrate that the two children did well in the exam, Liao Qing planned to hold a lively teacher appreciation banquet for the two children according to the custom——

Compared to a group of people in a village who seemed to be stunned by surprise, the two children behaved like flattery and humiliation. If they passed the exam, they passed the exam. They just continued to stay in the house, reading and writing, and the two of them studied arithmetic together. He didn't go around to participate in literary and poetry meetings like other scholars who passed the exam, and he didn't go around to build relationships...

The teacher appreciation banquet was scheduled to be on the fifth day after the news came out. On that day, many people were invited to the banquet, but it was a pity that there were some disturbances that made people feel uncomfortable after a meal...

It was the gambling house that Tan Weili's father owed money to——

"Tan Xiucai——" the owner of the gambling shop has a big belly, and he is fat and big-eared, looking at him with a smile on his face, and the fourth is the most difficult person to get along with...

Tan Weili couldn't help but take a step back. After all, the one who brought someone to hack him with a knife might as well have been the gambling shop owner——

Liao Qing happened to take Zhang Xiaoli to sit next to Tan Weili. Seeing this situation, he was a little bit worried, so he hummed Tan Weili's shoulder and asked Tan Weili to sit down——

"Who is this boss?" Liao Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.

Not only is he dressed in good materials, but he is also full of extravagance. The boss of the gambling shop did not dare to provoke him, and the boss of the gambling shop had also inquired about Liao Qing's origin before coming here. He heard that he came from the capital. There are so many nobles in the capital, and a falling sign can kill three nobles. The owner of the gambling shop couldn't figure out Liao Qing's background, so he didn't dare to say too much for a while——

"I also heard that Tan Xiucai had passed the exam and wanted to come and have a glass of wedding wine. It's not a trouble for older people to come. After a while, there will definitely be a lot of money for one person." The boss cupped his hands and said with a smile in a good voice.

Liao Qingwen smiled and nodded.

After the meal was over, the guests had almost left, but the gambling shop owner didn't leave with his people——

"This...Tan Xiucai, do you still remember me?" The boss of the gambling shop said after glancing in Liao Qing's direction.

"The boy naturally remembers Boss Xue—" Tan Weili was also in a dilemma, because his father owed a lot of money, and his family Liao Qing lived and drank for nothing, and Liao Qing still cared about his studies. It's really his luck, but he doesn't have any money on him, even if he has money, he has to wait for his tribute to be distributed...

Boss Xue came running over at this moment, Tan Weili really couldn't pay back directly...

In fact, Boss Xue had a good idea, because when he passed the examination for a scholar, the neighbors in the village would come over to curry favor and help him. No matter how he thought about it, Tan Weili had some money, but who knew that Tan Weili was a Brain-brained, I never saw those neighbors in the village...

For a while, Boss Xue didn’t want to offend Tan Weili, a newcomer who was still the No. It is very good for a scholar to be able to pass the No. 1 exam...

Just when the two of them were silent, Liao Qing came over——

"What is Boss Xue doing sitting here? How about sitting with me in the living room in the front yard?" Liao Qing extended an invitation to Boss Xue with a smile.

Boss Xue naturally had no objections, and he made a gesture of invitation to Liao Qing——

In the front yard, Liao Qing and Boss Xue sat alone, and Tan Weili naturally sat with Liao Qing——

"Before, when I rescued Tan Weiyue, Tan Weiyue was on the verge of death with multiple stab wounds on his body, and he couldn't survive. Later, I heard Tan Weiyue said that the boss of the gambling shop stabbed him with a knife when he wanted to pay..." Liao Qing took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly.

It was that unhurried expression that deeply frightened Boss Xue——

"Look at Liao Juren, what are you talking about—" Boss Xue smiled awkwardly and glanced in Tan Weili's direction. Seeing that there was no strange expression on Tan Weili's face, he relaxed a little Heart--

However, Boss Xue's heart was too early, and he was immediately hit by Liao Qing——

"And Tan Weili has long recognized me as my elder brother, and he is now a scholar. Speaking of Boss Xue's plan to kill someone, I'm afraid it can't be rumored—" Liao Qing put the cup aside with a smile, and said The tone is gentle, but it is a scumbag's steel knife.

Tan Weili couldn't help but looked up at Liao Qing.

He didn't expect that at this moment, Liao Qing's first reaction was not to suspect that he caused trouble and come back, but to defend him...

Tan Weili still remembers that when he was cut and covered in blood, lying in the wilderness waiting to die, it was Liao Qing who woke him up and rescued him like a legendary fairy...

Tan Weili held back the tears in his eyes——

"This..." Boss Xue couldn't help but feel a shudder when he saw Liao Qing's gentle expression. He knows that these scholars have different faces and hearts, and sometimes they are smiling and smiling with you on the surface. There are not a few people who suddenly stab you in the back, not to mention Liao Qing's expression——

Tan Weili's father owes more than 50 taels, which is actually not a big deal to Boss Xue. He just wants to take advantage of this time to ask for money to get along well with Tan Weili, a scholar who may go on the road to heaven in the future. About the relationship——

He even thought about it, he might not have much money now, and he was depending on others, he was going to only need half of the money, and not the other half, so as to be a favor——

Then come and go often...

It's just that Liao Qing defended his breach of contract, and directly pointed out his weakness.

Boss Xue didn't dare to say anything else for a while——

"However, we are also reasonable, what about repaying the debt—" Liao Qing clapped his hands, and Zhi Gui brought up a tray with a bag of 50 taels of silver on it——

"Tan Weili is my younger brother now, so naturally I should take care of it. The 50 taels, Boss Xue, take it away, and don't bother me again in the future, otherwise Liao is not a good talker—" Liao Qing pretended to be 50 taels The purse of two silver coins was pushed over.

Boss Xue was a little stiff for a while, if his expression was like this, it would be difficult for him to have a good relationship with Tan Weili...

But after all, the name he used was to ask for money, and now that the money has been given to him, what else can he do?

After all, Liao Qing had already threatened him just now...

Boss Xue finally took 50 taels of silver and left in resentment——

"Brother Liao—" Tan Weili shouted along with Zhang Xiaolin.

Liao Qing turned around and smiled from him, rubbed the child's head, seeing the child's disturbed expression, couldn't help but add another sentence, "Thousands of mistakes are not your fault, I just said that you are my fault." My dear brother, a little money is nothing, and you don’t have to take it to heart, just study hard.”

Tan Weili nodded with tears in his eyes.

The days that followed were neither salty nor salty, and the days passed quickly, spring came, and summer came again——

Tang Yuechao didn't know what was going on, the chamber of commerce was doing very well, so he insisted on making a trip to the capital——

But Zhang Xiaoli's belly got bigger day by day, and Liao Qing and the two of them were also more nervous, so the child naturally didn't follow, and only let Tang Yuechao go alone——

Who knew that Tang Yuechao would lose his letter as soon as he left, making everyone anxious, especially the people from the Chamber of Commerce in Qingshan County, who would come to Zhang Xiaoli for tea every day——

Fortunately, when it was released in July, it finally came back, a news that can be regarded as good news——

The news was sent back by Xiao Yue——

The general content is that Tang Yuechao was injured a little in order to save Xiao Yue, and then recuperated in the capital——

Hearing this news, Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli couldn't help but looked at each other, and there was a knowing smile between their eyes.

The main reason is to think of Tiandao's marriage line, the one between Xiao Yue and Tang Yuechao, the thickness and strength of that line is second only to the one between Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli——

The main reason is that at the beginning, Tang Yuechao and Xiao Yue didn't get along very well, Liao Qing and Zhang Xiaoli didn't think about it for a while, and there was a relationship between the two of them——

But now that I think about it, Tang Yuechao is still a brother...

In late July, another news came back——

Xiao Yue ascended the throne...

I heard that it was the last emperor who was obsessed with alchemy all day long and couldn't extricate himself from it. As a result, he ate the elixir he refined and bleed from the seven orifices and died suddenly on the spot——

However, there is no son who can support him now——

The main thing is that it’s so funny that nowadays, for some reason, most of the women in the harem give birth to daughters. After finally giving birth to two sons, they are still useless...

The mother and concubine of the two brothers fought fiercely, but the two seemed to be okay.But the two of them seemed to be okay, and then they were ruined by each other's mother and concubine...

One leg is broken, one dick is broken...

It is also very miserable--

Naturally, there is no way to choose someone from the current lineage, so I chose the lineage of King Xiao Yun...

King Xiao Yun has been in poor health since he was a child, and he is used to the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, so he just wants to be an idle king——

As for Xiao Yue's brother, this is a person who only likes fighting, and has no idea about the management of the government and has no ideas——

So after pushing and pushing, it finally fell on Xiao Yue's head...

How did a famous dude become emperor?

Others don't know, but Xiao Yue is someone else's back and forth, and it finally falls on him——

After Xiao Yue ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to give a plaque to Liao Qing's Zhuangzi...

Fortunately, he practiced his calligraphy with Liao Qing for a period of time. From the outside, he looks like a master, and he seems to be able to bluff people. Giving a plaque did not make him lose anyone. On the contrary, it made the courtiers feel like he used to It seems to be hiding the clumsy feeling...

The plaque was delivered in August and a half, just in time for Zhang Xiaoli's production——

At that time, Liao Qing was worried at both ends, and at the same time, he was worried that Zhang Xiaoli had not been born for a long time after entering the house, for fear of any accident——

On the one hand, the people in Zhuangzi have been pulling him, telling him to go there to receive the imperial edict...

Fortunately, the two of them are Tiandao's own sons, and they went very smoothly, and it took only half an hour before they were born, a boy...

Regardless of everyone's obstruction, Liao Qing went in to take a look at Zhang Xiaoli, wiped Zhang Xiaoli's sweat, washed and changed his clothes, and then went out to receive the imperial edict...

Yuelong Villa——

After receiving the imperial decree, Liao Qing couldn't help being in a daze...
