Lucky husband

On the other side, Zhang Anhao's carriage also arrived at Village Chief Bai's house. When the carriage entered the village just now, it attracted the attention of the villagers. Seeing that the carriage first arrived at Li's house and then at the village chief's house, everyone was far away. Don't dare to approach casually.

Zhang Anhao got off the carriage and asked the boy Wenzhu to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" The village chief's daughter-in-law came out, and was startled when she saw two people with unusual temperaments standing outside the door, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Wenzhu politely bowed to the wife of Village Chief Bai: "Hi Ma'am, our master came to your village to thank his life-savers. He has already been to Li's, and there is also a lady from your village. The little brother named Bai Zhiwen, his family is in a special situation, and it is not convenient for our master to come to the door to thank him, so we have to ask Village Chief Bai to help."

Listening to the urban man's polite words, the village head's daughter-in-law blushed slightly. This was the first time she was being called Ma'am, she twitched her lips, but in the end she couldn't think of anything decent, so she said in a foul language: "Hurry up!" Come in, please come in, I'm going to call my guy over here."

Village head Bai is at home at the moment, and has already come out when he heard the commotion, looking at Zhang Anhao and his young servant Wenzhu, looking at them quite nervously, wanting to ask them what they are here for.

Wen Zhu repeated what he said just now with a smile, and Village Chief Bai quickly realized that he invited the two of them into the house and asked his wife to call Bai Zhiwen over.

Bai Zhiwen's family has a widowed mother and an older brother. If the old gentleman and his servant come to visit, although they know that they can't have anything, they can't stop some people from gossiping and asking Bai Zhiwen to come to him. It's best to talk.

Being called out of the house by the village head's wife in a hurry, Bai Zhiwen was a little confused. It wasn't until the village head's wife said that an old man was looking for him, that Bai Zhiwen had a vague idea of ​​who was looking for him.

"Zhiwen, that old gentleman said that you were kind to him in saving his life. I think he is dressed unusually, and he has a servant by his side. Did you really save him?" Mrs. Bai was a little curious. She was particularly surprised when she heard of a life-saving favor.

Bai Zhiwen smiled, and replied gently: "Actually, I didn't save him, it was Uncle Li who saved him. At that time, the old gentleman fell on the side of the road. Uncle Li saw him and helped him to sit on our bullock cart." He was given medicine, and I was just in the same bullock cart."

Satisfying her own curiosity, Village Chief Bai's daughter-in-law stopped asking any more questions and walked briskly away.

When they arrived at Village Chief Bai’s house, Village Chief Bai asked her daughter-in-law to quickly boil some hot water to make tea. Usually when villagers come to visit, they can be dismissed with a sip of hot water. Definitely not good, or should make a cup of tea.

The last time Zhang Anhao saw Bai Zhiwen, he was wearing a dark blue dress. He looked mature and stable. Today, Bai Zhiwen was wearing a lighter color dress, which instantly made the young man look a lot more energetic.

"Old sir." Bai Zhiwen saluted Zhang Anhao as a student.

Village head Bai looked at Bai Zhiwen's gesture of saluting with enthusiasm. Neither of his two sons was suitable for reading, and he was desperately unwilling to continue reading after he could read. The village is learning to farm, and if he behaves well in the future, he can consider giving him the position of village head.

Zhang Anhao saw Bai Zhiwen standing in front of him in an orderly manner, looked at his somewhat short sleeves and trouser legs, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have grown a little taller."

"Well, it's a bit taller." Bai Zhiwen replied, thinking for a moment in his eyes, how could he talk about his height when they met.

"A kid at this age changes every day, and it's time to grow up." Village Chief Bai also found it strange, and continued from the side.

The old gentleman said at their door just now that he wanted to thank Bai Zhiwen, but why did he talk about other things after meeting him instead of saying thank you.

Zhang Anhao was still smiling: "It's a good thing to grow taller. Has your knowledge changed? It's been more than a month. Have you read more books?"

This is what Zhang Anhao wanted to say, he wanted to see how this kid would answer.

Bai Zhiwen shook his head, nodded again, and replied: "You are stupid, I have been reading "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" recently, and there are many things that I don't understand."

He has read books, but he hasn't read much. It is not easy to read alone at home without someone to guide him. He has only read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" for more than a month, but he still hasn't fully understood it.

Zhang Anhao stroked his deliberately grown beard, and asked Bai Zhiwen what he didn't understand, so he could tell him.

Zhang and Bai discussed the article, and the village head Bai couldn't get in the way anymore, but he was very happy watching this scene. It seemed that the old man meant that he was going to guide his nephew to study, but he didn't know how long it would take them. .

Bai Zhiwen asked a lot of questions in a book of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and he couldn't finish it in a few sentences. After Bai Zhiwen asked him the most confusing points, he didn't ask other questions, and he could go back by himself. Think about it again.

Knowing Bai Zhiwen's level, Zhang Anhao asked Wen Zhu to take out the things he had prepared for Bai Zhiwen, hand them to Bai Zhiwen, and told Bai Zhiwen the same thing as Li Mingde.

Then, Zhang Anhao left Village Chief Bai's house together with his servant Wenzhu, and went back to the county seat in a carriage.

Village head Bai looked at the boxy baggage, and happily patted Bai Zhiwen on the shoulder: "Zhiwen, I think this old gentleman is very optimistic about you, and asked you so many questions about studying, could it be because he wants to Want to accept you as a disciple?"

"I don't think so." Bai Zhiwen shook his head, since Mr. Zhang didn't open his mouth, he wouldn't say anything about it.

Bai Zhiwen actually felt a little bit too, but it was he who was asking the old man the question just now, not the old man asking him the question, he touched the bag in his hand, guessed what was inside, and had another idea.

"Thank you, uncle. I didn't tell my mother what happened when I came out just now. She might be a little worried at home, so I'll go back first." Bai Zhiwen gave the same student salute to Village Chief Bai, and took the gift Zhang Anhao gave him. The little package left Village Chief Bai's house.

Bai Yaoshi was indeed a little anxious at the moment. She kept spinning around in her yard and main room until her head became dizzy. Finally, she looked forward to her son's return, so she hurriedly opened the courtyard door: "Zhiwen, brother, they told you to go over and do it." what?"

"Mother, don't worry, Mr. Zhang is here." Bai Zhiwen told the process of getting to know Mr. Zhang and what happened today.

Listening to Bai Zhiwen mentioning that he was kidnapped by bandits, Bai Yao's heart skipped a beat. When her son disappeared, she felt like the sky was falling, and she felt dizzy when she recalled the heart-piercing feeling.

Seeing that something was wrong with his mother, Bai Zhiwen quickly took out the baggage in his hand: "Mother, let's go into the room and see what Mr. Zhang Lao gave me."

Bai Yao suppressed his heart, and followed Bai Zhiwen into the house.

He opened the bag and opened another layer of tarpaulin to see what was inside. Bai Zhiwen guessed right, it was a set of books.

If it is difficult for Village Chief Tongbai to say, he can say to his mother: "Mother, I guess Mr. Zhang gave me these books as a test for me. He said before that" classics should be read. I have to read them together, as well as official history books and various schools of thought, so that I can know the affairs of the world without going out." These are all articles and books written by sages of past dynasties. If I can finish reading these books within the time set by him Accept his test, I may be able to worship him as a teacher."

These are Bai Zhiwen's conjectures. After hearing this, Bai Yao didn't feel flustered anymore. God knows what she was most worried about after taking the child back to the hometown to observe his filial piety was his son's studies. There was no teacher to teach him, and he had to learn by himself.

Hearing that Bai Zhiwen might worship the knowledgeable old man as his teacher, Bai Yao cried with joy: "That's great, that's great, the ancestors and the ancestors must bless Zhiwen to be accepted as a disciple by Mr. Zhang smoothly. The mother must save money well, and send Zhiwen to take the imperial examination when the filial piety is over."

It was the wish of Bai Xiucai and Xiao Bai Xiucai to take the imperial examination. Both father and son failed to pass the exam. Bai Yao had heard her mother-in-law say this since she married into the Bai family, and she also had some expectations for Bai Zhiwen in her heart, but she Usually, she seldom said this in front of Bai Zhiwen, but since the accident happened at home, her son became more and more silent. She felt distressed and didn't want to put more pressure on his shoulders.

Both Bai Zhiwen and Li Mingde got the same set of books, but they didn't know each other, only Li Mingjin, who had a dream, knew it, but after Mr. Zhang left, he put it behind him , didn't think much about it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, which is Li Mingjin's birthday.

This year, Li Mingjin is ten years old, and he is eleven years old. He has grown to his mother's shoulders now, and he will be as tall as his mother in two or three years. Looking at the marriage, after a few more years of preparation, it's time to get married.

Thinking about these things a few years later, Jiang Zhiyun felt a wave of reluctance in her heart, why didn't her Brother Jin grow up slower and leave her later.

The little guy who followed Jiang Zhiyun every day sensed that his mother was worried, walked over from the side, and stood in front of Jiang Zhiyun: "Mom, eat candy!"

In Limingkang's small world, candy is the most delicious thing. If you eat candy, you will not be sad, and all your troubles will fly away.

The candy was bought by Li Chengshi from Xiumu this time, and it was the festival and his brother's birthday, so he bought some candy for the children to sweeten their mouths, and let little Li Mingkang taste the taste of candy for the first time .

"Kang'er is good, mother won't eat it, you can eat it." Jiang Zhiyun smiled at her youngest son. Fortunately, she has Kang'er beside her. Otherwise, after Brother Jin grows up and gets married, she really doesn't know what she wants. what to do.

Because Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe were going to set up a stall in the morning, they had a casual meal in the main room as usual at noon, and the old lady Li was going to pack some good dishes for the evening meal, calling the second son's family as well. Come and eat together.
