Bandit Reborn

At the beginning of winter this year, the children of Li's family all wore silk and satin clothes. The butcher's wife was so angry that she made silk and satin clothes for the eldest son, second son, Liu Quan and the youngest daughter, although the material was Tuocheng. The shop that An bought was the cheapest, but it was more than ten times more expensive than the homespun cloth woven by the family. The villagers didn't know the love of Li's wife, but they only thought that Li Chengkui's family made a fortune selling bacon.

In fact, Li Chengkui did not lose money. Zuixianlou placed an order with him early in the winter, and ordered 30 hams at a time. Under Li Huaixi's instigation, each ham was priced at 200 taels, and the deposit was enough. I paid [-] taels.

Their family bought a donkey. Donkeys are much cheaper than cows, and they can walk faster. Li Chengkui's family has less land, so there are more and more opportunities to pull goods. Such a half-agricultural, half-merchant, using a donkey cart is just right.

Li Sisi grabbed a beautiful pastel rouge box when he was catching Zhou. The Li family brothers agreed that it was a good one, because Li Sisi was really ordinary, only [-]% resembled his mother, and the other [-]% followed his father. It will cost a lot of money.

The ordinary-looking Li Sisi speaks very early, and she already knows how to say auspicious words during the Chinese New Year. Usually, her elder brother yells frequently. Li Sisi also borrowed two of the golden scorpions that Li Huaixi got from the old lady of the Lin family on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Although the child spoke early, his mental development was not early, and he would stuff it into his mouth when he brought it up. At such a young age, he almost imitated Second Sister You and swallowed gold.

In spring, Lin Yichen found a job for Li Hu, and asked him to follow a large accountant of the Lin family to check accounts everywhere. The accountant checked Li Hu's abacus and found it to be quite satisfactory. He's a big boy, so he took him away before Qingming.

Li Chengkui is very grateful to the county magistrate for this help. This job is actually harder than ordinary apprentices. Most of the time is spent on the road, and he also needs to serve the accountant's daily necessities, but what he has learned is absolutely Ordinary apprentices are incomparable. After a few years, it will definitely be of great help to Li Hu's own business. Although Li Chengkui spoils the child, he also knows what is good for the child.

Cheng's various benefits to the county magistrate have been able to appear calm on the surface. Occasionally, when the aunt comes to visit, when this topic is mentioned, his mother can reply naturally, "These brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and the county magistrate also He took good care of Dalong, and even sent all his books over a few days ago."

In fact, it is true to send books, but they sent more things to Li Huaixi together. There are all kinds of things, and a whole box of hair accessories for tying hair. This child prefers brightly colored things, so Lin Yichen gave them in different ways. , even Li Sisi of their family borrowed money a lot.

Li Huaixi ran to the temple when he was still fine. Master Abbot didn’t have any internal skills to pass on to him, but he passed on a set of breathing methods for health preservation. This breathing method is very effective. The old abbot is over 80 years old, except for his beard White, with few wrinkles on the face.

Li Huaixi wanted everyone in his family to live a long life. The old abbot smiled and said that he would pass it on casually. I am afraid that there are not many people who can calm down. Li Huaixi didn't believe it. Can't help but Lin Yichen has learned very well, he can make himself like an old monk anytime and anywhere.

After Li Huaixi finished memorizing the "Code", the husband began to teach him a small stove alone. He didn't eat lunch at home. He would follow what the husband ate at home. After a short nap in the afternoon, he would teach one-on-one. I wanted to take some more bundle repairs, but the husband said no, and said that this is what he is interested in.

Lin Yichen felt very gloated that Li Huaixi could go back to his old path, but Li Huaixi, who was used to teaching all day in his previous life, thought it was nothing, but his Liu Quan was not used to it, and the afternoon class was too profound for Liu Quan to understand, so he just Going to play with the children in Mr.'s village, Li Huaixi often shouted in the village for a long time when he came out, and this guy came out like a monkey, and then cried and asked his master to avenge him.

Li Huaixi didn't take him to school after helping him fight a few times. He thought he was too cowardly. Lin Yichen bought him a pony, which was shorter than the donkey at home. Let's go, Li Huaixi got used to it after two days of shaking, and rode to and from school by himself, saving a lot of time on the road.

When Li Sisi started to run around the yard, Li Huaixi was nine years old, and his husband wrote him a letter of recommendation. This year, during the Ching Ming Festival, Li Chengkui started burning papers all over the graveyard. It is really my own good fortune.

His mother is no longer a bodhisattva burner. Since Li Huaixi was rescued by the old abbot, she has believed in Buddhism. The incense on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year has never been broken. This time, she went to the temple very piously again. However, she walked through the back door of the Bodhisattva, and asked for two bunches of Bodhi seeds from the abbot she was familiar with, and then hung them on her two sons, one for the elder son and one for the younger son.

On April [-]th, Li Chengkui did not take his son to the hotel, because Lin Yichen had already said that he would come to pick up Li Huaixi by himself, but this morning Li Huaixi took a small bag and got into the county magistrate's carriage. The child looked completely innocent. The county examination was taken seriously, and the county magistrate took care of it, so the whole family was done with a few instructions, and it was not at all like the enemy when Li Long was at the beginning.

In front of his family, Li Huaixi behaved very well-behaved and courteous, but shortly after the carriage left the village, he turned his face and grabbed the county magistrate's cheeks and pulled them to both sides, "Lin Yichen, I heard that the mediator is pulling the strings quickly. The threshold of your house was broken, right?" The news had spread to the countryside, which made him very upset.

"Let go, it hurts!" Lin Yichen couldn't break his hand away, and didn't dare to break it hard, so he gasped in pain.

"Is it really?"

"Yes, yes, but what does that have to do with me? Our family has to open the door. Ancestor, you let go, and you will see someone later!"

Li Huaixi let go, but he was very angry. In his eyes, this little county magistrate is his, and he will use it when he grows up. He would be a little upset if someone robbed him halfway. s things.

"Don't you know how I treat you? It's useless to think about it. I was the head of the county back then. How about you?" Lin Yichen grabbed Li Huaixi's face, but unfortunately he didn't dare to use as much strength as Li Huaixi.

"The head of the county? You can grab it with your hands." Li Huaixi was furious, and answered without thinking.

"Bragging, I don't want to be selfish. There are more than 100 students recommended this year, so don't speak too early."

"Aren't you the only one when you took the talent test?" Li Huaixi gave Lin Yichen a white look.

Lin Yichen stretched out his hand and hugged Li Huaixi to his lap, and said against his forehead, "Don't be angry, I'm usually in a hurry when I don't see you, now it's okay if someone robs you? I already asked my mother to take them all back, except you, I don't want anyone, why don't you brand me? Also brand your Li Huaixi's family crest?"

Li Huaixi glanced at him, and smiled, "Okay." After speaking, he stretched out his little hand and exposed Lin Yichen's shoulder, opening his mouth to bite.

Lin Yichen understood, and quickly pulled up his clothes to stop him, "Ancestor! Wait until you have all your teeth before ironing, ah!"

Li Huaixi bit him before he finished speaking. Lin Yichen grinned and prepared for the pain, but Li Huaixi lay on his shoulder like a kitten, and only bit him lightly with his teeth, and then licked him with his small tongue. When I licked it, it was numb and itchy.

Lin Yichen, who had made a false alarm, grabbed Li Huaixi helplessly, "Ancestor, please spare me, I will die if I do this."

Li Huaixi pretended to be innocent, and suddenly stepped forward with a smirk, and lightly licked Lin Yichen's lips, the county magistrate wailed and hugged him tightly, "You are here to collect debts!"

Li Huaixi, who came to collect debts, slept on the county magistrate's bed that night, sleeping on his back, and sat in the examination room of the school hall full of energy the next day.

Lin Yichen wore an official uniform and sat in the front as the chief examiner. The seat was determined by lottery, and Li Huaixi was in the middle. Lin Yichen couldn't see how he answered, but he could tell from the surprised expressions of the invigilators that he did well in the exam.

Three days later, Lin Yichen sent Li Huaixi home reluctantly. Li Huaixi raised his head and asked, "Will you send me to the government office?"

Lin Yichen shook his head, "I can't see you off. I've prepared the carriage for you. When the time comes, someone will come to pick you up. The house over there has also been tidied up. There is only one month between the hospital examination and the government examination. Don't toss back and forth, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it will be troublesome if you toss and get sick."

"Okay, I'll go with my elder brother. It's too long. If you arrange someone for me, my father doesn't have to follow, or the farm work will be delayed." Li Huaixi ordered the county magistrate as a matter of course.

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged for you, you just need to take the exam. My little white fox, this time I will be gone for two months, do you miss me?" Li Huaixi hadn't left yet, he was already thinking about it.

"I don't want to! When I am admitted as a scholar and go to the academy to study, I will be away for several years. Maybe your son will run away when I come back." Li Huaixi was angry when he thought of those who proposed marriage to Lin Yichen.

"Hehe, I'm not a big man, I've been drinking enough vinegar, that's enough, go in, or your mother will be thinking about it again." Lin Yichen patted Li Huaixi's small shoulder and let him into the yard.

The state of Li Huaixi County after the test is the same as before. He should be naughty and mischievous, and he should be mischievous, but Li Long started the pre-exam syndrome in advance. He was restless every day, putting down this book and picking up another one, feeling that he hadn’t read every book Thoroughly.

Ten days later, the results of the county examination came out. In order to show justice, the test papers of the top three in the county examination were posted on the notice board outside the county office. Li Huaixi ranked first in the county, No. age.

Literate and illiterate people gathered in front of the notice board. A good-natured and literate man was shaking his head as he read Li Huaixi's article, clicking his tongue while reading, "Good article! It's well written! It's really good!" He said It's tantamount to nonsense, those who can read know that it's really good without him saying it, while those who can't read only care about whose child it is and who is the child's husband.

After the county magistrate in the yamen, another child prodigy appeared in the Jin County boundary, and the news spread throughout the hundreds of miles within a few days.Li Chengkui's meat stall was surrounded by water, and no one knew who made the rumor that the meat sold by Li Chengkui's family was good and nourished the brain.The sale of their bacon is crazy. People have speculated that this unique meat has magical effects. When the last piece of meat was left, the buyers fought. He picked up the meat and ran away. Li Chengkui yelled for a long time, but he didn't come back to get the change.

Mr.'s threshold was almost leveled. This gentleman had no choice but to send his old servant to stand at the door to stop those who came to sign up, because he could only accept thirty children at most, and there were already hundreds of children outside the door. As a parent, it really gave him a headache.

At the beginning of June, the Lin family's carriage came to pick up the Li family brothers. Li Long brought almost all his books and notes, while Li Huaixi only brought the usual pen and inkstone, and Lin Yichen prepared them for him there. Books, it doesn't matter whether he reads his own books or not, his own books are as clean as new ones, without a single comment in them.

It was the first time for Li Huaixi to ride in a carriage for such a long time. Although the carriage was comfortable, he was shaken to pieces in the end. When he went to the store at night, he fell asleep early. The second time I stayed at a hotel, I didn't even see what the waiter in the shop looked like.

In the evening of the next day, the carriage arrived at a residence of the Lin family in Yuchuan City. Li Huaixi was helped out of the carriage by a maid, "My son was afraid that you would not get used to it, so he sent me early, and the bath water has been prepared for you." Well, the weather is hot now, you should recharge your spirits before eating, or I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat.”

Li Huaixi knew this maid. This was the maid who brought him almond milk for the first time when he went to the Lin Mansion. In the past two years, this maid has always come to serve him when he has been in the Lin Mansion. She is very winking. He This maid knows some of the little habits.

"My elder brother is here too, have you prepared for him?"

"It's ready, it's all ready, don't worry, do you want to hug you?" The servant girl teased him with a smile.

"I'm nine years old!" Li Huaixi pushed the maid's hand away, and walked into the yard unsteadily.

The government examination started on the tenth day of June. Li Huaixi took a comfortable rest for two days before entering the examination room with his things. He is the head of their county, so he was arranged in a separate room with several county heads of other counties. For the exam, the person sitting in front of him was personally invigilated by Mr. Fu Yin.

Mr. Fu Yin seemed to be very curious about the nine-year-old county chief. He stood beside Li Huaixi and watched him finish the exam paper. Li Huaixi smiled secretly. If his eldest brother was treated like this, he must have passed out on the spot. How can he still take the exam? .

When Li Huaixi put down his pen, he raised his head and smiled at Fu Yin, who also smiled at him and touched his little head, from which Li Huaixi knew that his house had tried.

One month after the government examination, Li Huaixi studied at home every day, and his grades in the government examination ranked third. The governor said that his poems and prose were too arrogant to be recognized by other review papers. A group of old men wanted to suppress him. Fu Yin was isolated and difficult to support, so he privately reminded him to restrain himself during the hospital examination.

Li Huaixi thought of Lin Yichen's road to the imperial examination, and he thought it was right, so he picked up poems such as Chunhuaqiuyue to make up for it, and even replied to Lin Yichen with a lot of tact. The official was so sore that his teeth fell down, and when he wrote the letter again, he laughed at him, saying that he was possessed by a female fox, and Li Huaixi hurriedly put things right again.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, the imperial court sent down to study politics, and the college examination began.

The seats of Li Huaixi and Li Long were not far apart. He finally knew why Li Long was seriously ill. This kid was the one whose mother laughed at him for the exam. He held a pen in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. He was wiping his sweat, which made Li Huaixi feel busy. At this time, Master Abbot's breathing method saved him. Li Huaixi meditated for a quarter of an hour, and when he opened his eyes, there were only test questions in front of him.

The results of the college examination came out relatively slowly. Li Huaixi and Li Long were homesick, and after the examination, they got into the carriage and went home.Li Long fell ill again, and the family had already prepared for it. It was not as busy as before. After Li Huaixi was at home for a few days, he was picked up by the county magistrate. Lin Yichen found him a master who knew Kung Fu, and the two practiced martial arts together. went.
