Are you convinced now?
Lu Ziqian had confidence in Nan Qiqi, he patted Nan Qiqi's shoulder, "You can do it, be more confident."
"But I..." Nan Qiqi was educated since she was a child that her brother is not as good as a man. When Li Xiucai said that her brother was stupid, he didn't even think there was anything wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll give you strength," Lu Ziqian grabbed his hand and put it in his own, "hold my hand, and you won't be afraid."
Nan Qiqi held his hand tightly, "Well, it seems that I'm really not that scared anymore."
Li Xiucai was fed a mouthful of dog food unexpectedly, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
Although Li Xiucai has a wife and a daughter, he dislikes his wife very much. Let alone outside, he would not be so close to his wife at home.
In addition to disliking his wife as a villager, it is also because his wife has only given him one daughter for so many years. If it weren't for the fact that the family relied entirely on his wife to support the family, no one in the village would marry his daughter to him, and he would have wanted to divorce a long time ago. Wife changed.
Now seeing that Lu Ziqian is so tired of a brother who can't give birth to a son, showing such an intimate behavior in public without shy away from outsiders, I feel very shameless.
He opened his mouth to say that Nan Qiqi had no sense of shame, would confuse men all day long, and seduce him to hold his hand in public, but before he could say anything, Mr. Qin raised the question.
In order to hear Mr. Qin's question clearly, Li Xiucai could only exclude all other thoughts in his mind and listen to Mr. Qin's question attentively.
Mr. Qin didn't ask difficult questions. As soon as the question came out, Lu Ziqian could immediately come up with the answer. Nan Qiqi needed to think for a while, and coupled with his low self-esteem, even if he came up with the answer, in front of so many people I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.
He whispered a few words in a voice that only he could hear, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Li Xiucai's elm head directly grasped the wrong point, and the answer directly missed the question. If he didn't miss the point, he could answer it correctly.
Li Xiucai belongs to the kind of self-moving type of reading. Since he was a child, he read before dawn every day, and only turned off the light to sleep at night. He never stopped for a day.
Everyone watched him work hard, but he didn't really learn much, so he couldn't pass the exam. The only time he was admitted to the scholar was when a blind cat ran into a dead mouse and taught his husband to bet on the test. He wrote a few articles in advance for him to memorize, and he silently wrote an article written by his husband before he was admitted to the scholar.
Mr. Qin shook his head when he heard Li Xiucai's answer, "You can't carve rotten wood, Qiqi, have you thought about it?"
Nan Qiqi clenched her fists nervously, not daring to speak.
Li Xiucai was not reconciled to receiving such an evaluation, and could not hide his violent temper in a panic, pointing at Nan Qiqi's yin and yang, "Mr. He's mud."
"I, I'm not mud." Although Nan Qiqi is always weak and pitiful, but he also has a small temper, and he will be dissatisfied when he is scolded like this all the time.
And with his husband by his side, he felt safe, and he wasn't afraid of being beaten after he refuted it.
"Since you're not muddy, you should answer. I'll see if you can answer better than me." Li Xiucai and Nan Qiqi are from the same village. Li Xiucai knows best which family in their village has learned to read and practice calligraphy. .
Nan Qiqi was still a brother, and no one in the village was free to send him to study, so he believed what Mr. Qin said, Nan Qiqi only studied for a short period of time.
Li Xiucai calculated the time, and Lu Ziqian had only been studying with Mr. Qin for a few months.
And in these few months, he didn't come to study every day, he came once or twice a month. In the rest of the time, he often saw Lu Ziqian taking Nan Qiqi to do farm work, even if every time Lu Ziqian brought Nan Qiqi to learn to read , what can be learned in such a tight time?
Nan Qiqi became a little more courageous after being provoked by him, coupled with the encouragement in the eyes of Lu Ziqian and Mr. Qin, he boldly spoke out the answer he thought in his heart.
His answer was not so rigid, and he added some thoughts of his own. Not only Mr. Qin and Lu Ziqian nodded repeatedly, even Li Xiucai wanted to slap his head and ask himself why he didn't come up with such a clever answer just now.
Mr. Qin asked Li Xiucai, "Are you convinced now? It's not that my brothers are born stupid, but they are born with no chance to study, just like you have no chance to be my apprentice."
"Is there really no chance at all?" Li Xiucai was not reconciled, "If you ask another question, I will definitely be able to beat him."
"It's the same if you ask another hundred questions." From the first time Mr. Qin saw Li Xiucai and heard what Li Xiucai said, he knew that this person was a mediocre person.
What's more, Li Xiucai's thinking is pedantic and rigid, and he only recognizes his own reasoning. No matter how reasonable other people say, he can't listen to it. Mr. Qin doesn't like to teach such people the most.
Li Xiucai was kicked out in disgrace, Nan Qiqi was overjoyed.
He also hated Li Xiucai very much, and was afraid that because of him, his husband would have to go to class with that annoying Li Xiucai.
It's all right now, people have been driven away by Mr. Qin, so you don't have to be afraid of seeing that annoying face in class.
Mr. Qin praised Nan Qiqi without hesitation: "You gave a good answer just now, and you are very talented in learning."
"Me?" Nan Qiqi scratched her head, feeling that what Mr. Qin said was polite, "Mr. Qin only asked one question, because he was afraid that I would not be able to answer a few more questions, and lose to him?"
"Be more confident." Lu Ziqian approved of Nan Qiqi's competition with Li Xiucai just now, because he thought that Nan Qiqi would win, and Nan Qiqi had always underestimated himself.
If he is a person who has never read any books and can compare with the scholars in the village, his self-confidence will definitely increase.
"I, am I really good?" Nan Qiqi asked without confidence, "But the question Mr. Qin asked just now was too simple, if it was more difficult, I would not be able to answer it."
"He can't answer such a simple question. You must be better than him." Lu Ziqian felt that Li Xiucai had studied for so many years, so he shouldn't even understand such a shallow knowledge. He probably has a problem with his comprehension ability, and his writing always goes off topic. , That's why I can't even answer such a simple question.
But Nan Qiqi has only been studying for a long time, to be able to answer this question so well is simply a genius, Lu Ziqian thought that if he didn't have the learning foundation before time travel, he might not learn as fast as Nan Qiqi.
It's a pity that due to the influence of the big environment, Nan Qiqi's choices are very narrow, and he can't go out to work. Now they live in a mountain village, it's good, Nan Qiqi can go out at will, and can do farm work.
If he really becomes an official in the court in the future, Nan Qiqi can only stay in the back house and cannot show his face in public.
But instead of staying in the capital to be an official, to be a magistrate, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it's not up to him, and Nan Qiqi will be less restrained by then.
But all of this is based on his revenge...
He regained his composure, Mr. Qin was already telling Nan Qiqi the ingenuity of his answer just now, and praised Nan Qiqi for his accuracy.
When Nan Qiqi heard that her husband and Mr. Qin praised him, she thought that Li Xiucai had studied for so many years, and he was better than Li Xiucai, which meant that his level had reached the height of a scholar.
Although this idea frightened him after it popped out of his mind, he still couldn't control the little pride in his heart.
The more Nan Qiqi's personality was praised, the stronger her motivation to study.
In fact, he didn't have any great revenge, he wanted to study because he wanted to know more things, he wanted to become knowledgeable, he shouldn't be too far away from Lu Ziqian, he didn't have anything to talk about, and he didn't want Lu Ziqian to look down on him.
Moreover, he had heard that Li Xiucai had always disliked his wife at home, especially after he was admitted as a scholar, he had quarreled with his wife several times and threatened to divorce her.
He also heard that Li Xiucai said that if he passed the exam and became an official, it would be embarrassing to have a woman who had never seen the world. If he could become an official, the first thing he would do would be to divorce his wife.
It was the same when Zhao Cheng went to Beijing before. Zhao Cheng's family disliked him in the first place, so it was not considered, but others said that it was a pity that Zhao Cheng married such a humble person like him.
The emperor even disliked him, even if his status was humble, but he always had a dejected look on his face, always timid and afraid to raise his head, and he didn't know a single word, so he wasn't worthy of his son at all.
Although men and women in this era cannot go to school to study, those who have the conditions can ask their husbands to come home and teach them how to read and write.
And Nan Qiqi had difficulty eating a full meal at home, so how could she be able to study.
But the emperor has been pampered since he was a child, and has never worried about not being able to eat enough and have no money to spend. Naturally, he does not understand the hard work of these low-level people who have exhausted all their efforts to survive, and he turns his helplessness into not being motivated.
Thinking of the emperor now, Nan Qiqi still had some resentment in her heart, but once this resentment came out, it would be overwhelmed by fear.
Thinking of the emperor in his last life, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Lu Ziqian. It turned out that the emperor was Lu Ziqian's biological father.
If in this life, the emperor and Lu Ziqian were reunited, and seeing Lu Ziqian married a well-educated brother, would he not be so disgusted?They will not force him to separate from Lu Ziqian.
But he knew that the emperor was Lu Ziqian's biological father, but he prevented Lu Ziqian from recognizing his biological father, and made Lu Ziqian miss the chance to be the prince. Is he still worthy of Lu Ziqian?
Lu Ziqian didn't tell Nan Qiqi about the contents of his notes, nor did he ever tell Nan Qiqi that he wanted to kill his own father. Nan Qiqi mistakenly thought that his concealment was blocking Lu Ziqian's glory and wealth. It's not good enough for Lu Ziqian.
Lu Ziqian didn't know what he was thinking, felt that Nan Qiqi was suddenly depressed, so he raised his hand and touched his head, "You are the one who defeated Li Xiucai, don't be unhappy, let's go back to the village and go sideways."
Nan Qiqi was amused by his words, "It's better not to tell others about this when you go back, Li Xiucai is too concerned about face, he will definitely pass out again after hearing this, and he has a small stomach, I'm afraid that when we are not at home, He went to pull our rice."
"That's right, but you have to be careful, this person is very bad." Lu Ziqian thought that in the future he would have to establish a good relationship with other villagers, so that if Li Xiucai wanted to play tricks, other people would have to stop him.
Before going back this time, Lu Ziqian took Nan Qiqi to buy a fish tank. There is no glass fish tank here, but there are porcelain fish tanks with elegant patterns.
Ordinary people don't care about raising fish. They are all sold to rich people as decorations, and the price is more expensive. Almost all of them cost two cents. If you choose something that looks better, the price will increase.
In the end, Lu Ziqian chose a fish tank with a painting of Bingdilian on the wall. When he touched it, it felt very delicate, and it cost half a tael of silver.
When Nan Qiqi heard the price, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. He tugged on Lu Ziqian's sleeve and told him not to buy it, it was too expensive.
Lu Ziqian said he was not afraid, "Your husband is rich, this is a gift for you, don't you like fish, I will buy two more fish to raise in it later."
"I don't want it." Nan Qiqi felt that it was a waste, and ornamental fish were not suitable for eating or drinking. It would be better to buy two crucian carp and stew it in soup, which would also nourish the body.
But when Lu Ziqian led him to see the goldfish, he couldn't take his eyes away again. Goldfish is different from grass carp, with big bulging eyes, pouty mouth, conspicuous color, and a big tail. One fish is particularly beautiful , like a little fairy.
It was the first time Nan Qiqi was charmed by a fish, and her heart was moved.
In the end, he picked two goldfishes, one red and one black. The boss saw that they bought a lot, and gave them some pebbles for free.
Nan Qiqixin said that this thing can be picked up in a big bag by the river, but since it was given away for free, he happily went to pick it up with Lu Ziqian.
This fish is delicate and delicate, Nan Qiqi kept holding it in a small jar after leaving the store.
Lu Ziqian wanted to hold it for him, but he didn't feel at ease. He thought that his husband's rough hands and feet would definitely throw his fairy, but he said that he wanted to hold it himself because he liked it so much.
Lu Ziqian thought of his father taking him to buy fish when he was a child. At that time, he was only in kindergarten and his hands were so small. On the way back, he had to carry the fish by himself instead of asking his father to help him.
At that time, he was in a happy mood, and the very small happiness when he was a child will be warmed all day when he thinks about it when he grows up.
On the contrary, the happiness after growing up will be easily forgotten.
Nan Qiqi is now 19 years old, the villagers calculate according to the false age, it is still two years old, now Nan Qiqi is only 17 years old, still a child, reluctantly regard the present as his childhood, give him as much warmth as possible, hope that he will be [-] years old When I was in my thirties.
In case of any troubles, thinking of the happy moment now, I hope it can heal his restless heart.
"Shall we go back now?" Nan Qiqi looked at the things in their car. Before buying fish, Lu Ziqian bought some meat, pork ribs, and chicken and duck. Now that the weather is warmer, it can't be kept for a long time like before. , If you buy too much, it will break if you can't eat it, and he didn't buy a lot, it was enough for the past few days.
"What do you want to buy? I'll accompany you now." Lu Ziqian said.
"What do I want to buy?" Nan Qiqi shook her head, "I have nothing to buy."
"I give you pocket money every month, don't you plan to spend a penny?" Lu Ziqian asked him, "Do you remember what I told you before? You have to learn how to manage accounts, and when I become an official, You will be in charge of all the accounts at home. You don’t even know how to spend money, how do you learn how to keep accounts? Listen to me, you have to spend a lot of money today, and every time we come to town in the future, you have to Spend money at least once."
Nan Qiqi has always believed what Lu Ziqian said. Although he was reluctant to spend a penny, Lu Ziqian's words were very reasonable. Even if his heart ached, he had to spend money for their future.
But Nan Qiqi didn't have anything he wanted to buy for the time being, he thought hard, and finally thought of something.
He asked Lu Ziqian to take him to buy some chickens, ducklings, and geese, "Let's go back and raise them, so we don't have to come to the town to buy poultry meat in the future, and we also raise fish at home, so we can save money on buying fish." Well, if only I could raise a sheep and a few pigs."
"That's right. I think it's a waste to put sundries in our backyard. If it's full of animals, it will be much more lively." But they can't keep pigs at home, and they have to go out to raise sheep. He has to study and has no time. Lu Rulan Selling tofu and Nan Qiqi raising chickens and ducks are enough trouble.
Moreover, the smell of pigs is too strong. In fact, the smell of chicken and duck is quite strong, but the quantity is limited, and the taste is not particularly strong. If there are too many kinds of animals, the smell is too bad, which will affect the tofu business.
Lu Ziqian told Nan Qiqi about his concerns, and Nan Qiqi felt that it was reasonable, "We really can't be too greedy, we are already satisfied with chicken, duck and fish."
When Nan Qiqi mentioned food, his happy eyes narrowed together. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that his little goldfish would be scared, so he lowered his head and said to the jar, "I'm not talking about you, don't be afraid."
Seeing him talking to the little goldfish, Lu Ziqian thought that no matter who has a pet, he can't help but talk to the pet.
Before crossing over, his father raised a golden retriever. He often saw his father talking to the golden retriever, and the dog would bark a few times as an answer after his father finished speaking.
It's a pity that the fish can't call, and there's no way to respond to Nan Qiqi. It would be interesting if Nan Qiqi could get feedback.
As Lu Ziqian thought about it, he saw the little goldfish in the jar flicked its tail and jumped into the water on Nan Qiqi's face.
Nan Qiqi was not angry, but looked at the little goldfish in shock, and then at Lu Ziqian, "It understands what I'm saying."
Lu Ziqian wiped the water off his face and had fun with him.
Lu Ziqian remembered something, he asked Nan Qiqi, "What are you going to name these two little goldfish?"
Nan Qiqi hadn't thought about naming the fish, but he remembered that the dogs raised by the villagers all had names like big yellow and big black, so why couldn't his little goldfish be named.
Nan Qiqi thought for a while, pointed to the red goldfish and said, "This one is so beautiful, I want to call it a fairy."
After he finished speaking, he still felt embarrassed, and asked Lu Ziqian nervously with a blushing face, "Is it okay?"
Lu Ziqian looked at the little red goldfish, its tail was very flowing, like the hem of the fairy's clothes, "It matches it very well, Qiqi, you are so good at naming, it's so amazing."
Nan Qiqi had been praised so many times by Lu Ziqian, but he was still not used to such extroverted praise from Lu Ziqian.
He blushed and said, "I don't know how to name him either. I just chose this name because I saw how beautiful the fairy is."
"What about the other one? What's the name?" Lu Ziqian pointed to another black goldfish and asked.
Nan Qiqi looked at the fish, and didn't intend to buy it at first, but seeing that it was circling around the fairy all the time, it was quite handsome, so Nan Qiqi relented and bought it, "This one, it's called Blackie."
"Xiao Hei?" Lu Ziqian couldn't help laughing for a long time, "You are too biased, how sad is Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei flicked his tail and flicked the water off Nan Qiqi's face.
Nan Qiqi rubbed the water off her face, "Okay, so it turned out that you dumped the water on my face just now, I thought it was a fairy, you are so naughty."
"Double standard scene," Lu Ziqian shook his head and said to the little goldfish: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, whatever the fairy does is right, it's wrong for you to take a breath."
Nan Qiqi tilted her head and asked Lu Ziqian, "Can fish pant? People can't breathe when they are in the water. Fish should not pant in the water, right?"
"Of course fish also pant, but they use gills." Lu Ziqian told Nan Qiqi how to pant underwater.
After the two returned home, Lu Rulan found out that Lu Ziqian had bought so much food again, she reproachfully said, "How much money you have is not enough for you to spend."
"Qiqi thinks so too," Lu Ziqian said as he took out a box of rouge from his bosom and handed it to Lu Rulan, "Mother, I have money, I can't spend it all, and this is a gift for you."
"What do I, an old lady, use this for?" Lu Rulan wanted to beat him up.
"You are not old, you are forty years old, but you are only 38 years old. I think all the wives in the town use it, and they don't care about it when they are in their fifties or sixties. What's wrong with my mother?" Lu Ziqian said and led Nan Qiqi Go back to the house and put the fish tank.
Lu Rulan held the box of rouge in her hand. Although she knew she wouldn't use it, she liked it.
When I was young, I was reluctant to use it, but before I knew it, I would get old, and it would be inappropriate to use it again.
Besides, which elderly woman in the village still uses rouge, so rumors spread about it.
She put away her things carefully, and will use them later when Lu Ziqian passes the exam and goes to a big city with Lu Ziqian. Maybe it's strange that she, the mother of a high-ranking official, doesn't dress up at that time.
This time Lu Ziqian not only bought a fish tank and fish, but also bought a special shelf for the fish tank. Putting the fish tank on it, the whole room has a special flavor.
This time Lu Ziqian also bought some things to renovate the room and came back with a new bed sheet and quilt cover, which he found someone to order. People in this era don't use quilt covers, they are all quilt covers that are directly sewn on the quilt, and it is very easy to remove and wash. trouble.
The last time he went to Mr. Qin's side, he took the time to go to the tailor's shop and found someone to order a quilt cover. This time, he made it up and took it back.
Summer is coming, there are mosquitoes, and he has set up bed nets.
The old tables and chairs were also custom-made for new ones. The table was custom-made by the carpenter in the village. A batch of new ones were replaced a while ago, and the paper on the windows was also replaced with new ones.
The whole room took on a new look, Nan Qiqi watched Lu Ziqian change the quilt cover and sheets, put up the bed curtain, and said with a smile: "This is not like a small farmyard, but more like a scholar's room."
"Aren't we two scholars?" Lu Ziqian asked Nan Qiqi to wait for a while, he went out to the carpenter's house, and brought back two chairs.
This chair is different from ordinary wooden chairs. He asked a carpenter to wrap a layer of cloth on the back and seat surface of the chair, and the cloth was stuffed with cotton.
It is similar to a sofa chair. Usually, the two of them write, and making that kind of hard chair is too painful. He is afraid that within two years, both of them will have hemorrhoids, so he ordered this soft chair return.
He put the chair in front of the table, and took out a notebook he had painted himself. On the cover was a persimmon branch he had drawn, with a few heavy persimmons hanging on it.
"This is for your bookkeeping. You write down your monthly income, expenses, what you bought, and how much you have left over." Lu Ziqian made a plan for him, "Use up this book this year."
"Use it up this year?" Nan Qiqi squeezed the thickness of the notebook, "I have to spend money every day to finish memorizing this notebook..."
Nan Qiqi said in embarrassment: "Give me three years and I won't be able to use it all up. How about this? I will remember the expenses of our family, the money Mother makes from selling tofu every day, and the consumption of beans, as well as the grain income from the fields, and The number of chickens, ducks, geese, fish, and how many eggs they laid."
Nan Qiqi squeezed the notebook again, "I can use it up in a year."
"As expected of someone who will be an official's wife in the future, with a delicate mind, I will let you take care of the house in the future, I am at ease." Lu Ziqian first asked him how to keep accounts, including today's expenses on it, and how much Nan Qiqi himself had Pocket money, how much money Lu Ziqian has in his hand, and how much money is saved in his family.
Nan Qiqi remembered it in great detail and wrote several pages, but he didn't feel tired at all, and found it very fresh and interesting. Now he feels that he is finally a part of this family.
Lu Rulan saw that they had bought five chicks, ten ducklings and ten goslings, and she liked them very much. She made a small space in the backyard and built a fence, and put them inside.
The little ones were still very timid, and they were huddled together in a fluffy way.
After Lu Ziqian and Nan Qiqi got out of the house, they saw the little hairballs surrounded by the fence.
The two couldn't help squatting outside the fence to watch, Lu Ziqian asked Lu Rulan worriedly, "They are still so young, will they freeze to death if they are kept outside? Or put them in my house for a while?"
Lu Rulan said in her heart that this son is so naive, and she persuaded him to let him go to the house. His house can't be full of shit, can people still live in it?
Lu Rulan: "Don't worry, let you stay overnight, if you freeze to death, they won't freeze to death."
Lu Ziqian felt the contempt from his mother, "It's good to keep them here, it's spacious, should we feed them some millet?"
When Lu Ziqian was a child, he saw that a neighbor’s child kept two chicks as pets, and the child’s grandmother fed the chickens with millet.
But after he said this, Lu Rulan despised him again.
"Do you think I usually feed you millet?" Lu Rulan drove them away, "Okay, okay, I'll raise the chickens and ducks from now on, don't worry about it."
"I know how to raise them, mother, don't drive me away." Nan Qiqi struggled and said, "I used to raise them when I was at home, and I know how to feed them."
After listening to what Nan Qiqi said about what to feed them, Lu Rulan fed them several times a day, and suddenly felt that Nan Qiqi was much more reliable than her son.
Time passed quickly, and the seedlings in the field grew taller and taller, green and lush.
Everyone in the village was concerned about the movement of the terraced fields on the hillside, and what happened to the fish raised in Lu Ziqian's house.
Unexpectedly, the rice seedlings on the terraced fields they were not optimistic about grew very well and were very strong, and the seedlings in Lu Ziqian’s field grew better than those in other people’s homes. Some people went to his rice field to watch the excitement, and they really saw that they had grown up. some fish.
The fish looks very lively, and it will be ready to eat in a while. There are hundreds of fish, and their family can't finish eating fish every day.
At the beginning, many people suspected that the fish would eat the roots of rice seedlings, but they didn't.Only then did someone think that when Lu Ziqian said that when raising fish in the field, the fish excrement can be used as nourishment and eat pests, so that the seedlings grow stronger and the harvest can be [-] to [-]% higher than usual.
Everyone didn't believe it at the beginning, but now it's not yet the harvest season, and many people are already jealous.
The author says:
Today I am long (kimbo proud for a while);

.感谢在2022-03-3022:16:27-2022-03-3121:27:49期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦——
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Lu Ziqian had confidence in Nan Qiqi, he patted Nan Qiqi's shoulder, "You can do it, be more confident."
"But I..." Nan Qiqi was educated since she was a child that her brother is not as good as a man. When Li Xiucai said that her brother was stupid, he didn't even think there was anything wrong.
"Don't worry, I'll give you strength," Lu Ziqian grabbed his hand and put it in his own, "hold my hand, and you won't be afraid."
Nan Qiqi held his hand tightly, "Well, it seems that I'm really not that scared anymore."
Li Xiucai was fed a mouthful of dog food unexpectedly, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
Although Li Xiucai has a wife and a daughter, he dislikes his wife very much. Let alone outside, he would not be so close to his wife at home.
In addition to disliking his wife as a villager, it is also because his wife has only given him one daughter for so many years. If it weren't for the fact that the family relied entirely on his wife to support the family, no one in the village would marry his daughter to him, and he would have wanted to divorce a long time ago. Wife changed.
Now seeing that Lu Ziqian is so tired of a brother who can't give birth to a son, showing such an intimate behavior in public without shy away from outsiders, I feel very shameless.
He opened his mouth to say that Nan Qiqi had no sense of shame, would confuse men all day long, and seduce him to hold his hand in public, but before he could say anything, Mr. Qin raised the question.
In order to hear Mr. Qin's question clearly, Li Xiucai could only exclude all other thoughts in his mind and listen to Mr. Qin's question attentively.
Mr. Qin didn't ask difficult questions. As soon as the question came out, Lu Ziqian could immediately come up with the answer. Nan Qiqi needed to think for a while, and coupled with his low self-esteem, even if he came up with the answer, in front of so many people I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud.
He whispered a few words in a voice that only he could hear, but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Li Xiucai's elm head directly grasped the wrong point, and the answer directly missed the question. If he didn't miss the point, he could answer it correctly.
Li Xiucai belongs to the kind of self-moving type of reading. Since he was a child, he read before dawn every day, and only turned off the light to sleep at night. He never stopped for a day.
Everyone watched him work hard, but he didn't really learn much, so he couldn't pass the exam. The only time he was admitted to the scholar was when a blind cat ran into a dead mouse and taught his husband to bet on the test. He wrote a few articles in advance for him to memorize, and he silently wrote an article written by his husband before he was admitted to the scholar.
Mr. Qin shook his head when he heard Li Xiucai's answer, "You can't carve rotten wood, Qiqi, have you thought about it?"
Nan Qiqi clenched her fists nervously, not daring to speak.
Li Xiucai was not reconciled to receiving such an evaluation, and could not hide his violent temper in a panic, pointing at Nan Qiqi's yin and yang, "Mr. He's mud."
"I, I'm not mud." Although Nan Qiqi is always weak and pitiful, but he also has a small temper, and he will be dissatisfied when he is scolded like this all the time.
And with his husband by his side, he felt safe, and he wasn't afraid of being beaten after he refuted it.
"Since you're not muddy, you should answer. I'll see if you can answer better than me." Li Xiucai and Nan Qiqi are from the same village. Li Xiucai knows best which family in their village has learned to read and practice calligraphy. .
Nan Qiqi was still a brother, and no one in the village was free to send him to study, so he believed what Mr. Qin said, Nan Qiqi only studied for a short period of time.
Li Xiucai calculated the time, and Lu Ziqian had only been studying with Mr. Qin for a few months.
And in these few months, he didn't come to study every day, he came once or twice a month. In the rest of the time, he often saw Lu Ziqian taking Nan Qiqi to do farm work, even if every time Lu Ziqian brought Nan Qiqi to learn to read , what can be learned in such a tight time?
Nan Qiqi became a little more courageous after being provoked by him, coupled with the encouragement in the eyes of Lu Ziqian and Mr. Qin, he boldly spoke out the answer he thought in his heart.
His answer was not so rigid, and he added some thoughts of his own. Not only Mr. Qin and Lu Ziqian nodded repeatedly, even Li Xiucai wanted to slap his head and ask himself why he didn't come up with such a clever answer just now.
Mr. Qin asked Li Xiucai, "Are you convinced now? It's not that my brothers are born stupid, but they are born with no chance to study, just like you have no chance to be my apprentice."
"Is there really no chance at all?" Li Xiucai was not reconciled, "If you ask another question, I will definitely be able to beat him."
"It's the same if you ask another hundred questions." From the first time Mr. Qin saw Li Xiucai and heard what Li Xiucai said, he knew that this person was a mediocre person.
What's more, Li Xiucai's thinking is pedantic and rigid, and he only recognizes his own reasoning. No matter how reasonable other people say, he can't listen to it. Mr. Qin doesn't like to teach such people the most.
Li Xiucai was kicked out in disgrace, Nan Qiqi was overjoyed.
He also hated Li Xiucai very much, and was afraid that because of him, his husband would have to go to class with that annoying Li Xiucai.
It's all right now, people have been driven away by Mr. Qin, so you don't have to be afraid of seeing that annoying face in class.
Mr. Qin praised Nan Qiqi without hesitation: "You gave a good answer just now, and you are very talented in learning."
"Me?" Nan Qiqi scratched her head, feeling that what Mr. Qin said was polite, "Mr. Qin only asked one question, because he was afraid that I would not be able to answer a few more questions, and lose to him?"
"Be more confident." Lu Ziqian approved of Nan Qiqi's competition with Li Xiucai just now, because he thought that Nan Qiqi would win, and Nan Qiqi had always underestimated himself.
If he is a person who has never read any books and can compare with the scholars in the village, his self-confidence will definitely increase.
"I, am I really good?" Nan Qiqi asked without confidence, "But the question Mr. Qin asked just now was too simple, if it was more difficult, I would not be able to answer it."
"He can't answer such a simple question. You must be better than him." Lu Ziqian felt that Li Xiucai had studied for so many years, so he shouldn't even understand such a shallow knowledge. He probably has a problem with his comprehension ability, and his writing always goes off topic. , That's why I can't even answer such a simple question.
But Nan Qiqi has only been studying for a long time, to be able to answer this question so well is simply a genius, Lu Ziqian thought that if he didn't have the learning foundation before time travel, he might not learn as fast as Nan Qiqi.
It's a pity that due to the influence of the big environment, Nan Qiqi's choices are very narrow, and he can't go out to work. Now they live in a mountain village, it's good, Nan Qiqi can go out at will, and can do farm work.
If he really becomes an official in the court in the future, Nan Qiqi can only stay in the back house and cannot show his face in public.
But instead of staying in the capital to be an official, to be a magistrate, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it's not up to him, and Nan Qiqi will be less restrained by then.
But all of this is based on his revenge...
He regained his composure, Mr. Qin was already telling Nan Qiqi the ingenuity of his answer just now, and praised Nan Qiqi for his accuracy.
When Nan Qiqi heard that her husband and Mr. Qin praised him, she thought that Li Xiucai had studied for so many years, and he was better than Li Xiucai, which meant that his level had reached the height of a scholar.
Although this idea frightened him after it popped out of his mind, he still couldn't control the little pride in his heart.
The more Nan Qiqi's personality was praised, the stronger her motivation to study.
In fact, he didn't have any great revenge, he wanted to study because he wanted to know more things, he wanted to become knowledgeable, he shouldn't be too far away from Lu Ziqian, he didn't have anything to talk about, and he didn't want Lu Ziqian to look down on him.
Moreover, he had heard that Li Xiucai had always disliked his wife at home, especially after he was admitted as a scholar, he had quarreled with his wife several times and threatened to divorce her.
He also heard that Li Xiucai said that if he passed the exam and became an official, it would be embarrassing to have a woman who had never seen the world. If he could become an official, the first thing he would do would be to divorce his wife.
It was the same when Zhao Cheng went to Beijing before. Zhao Cheng's family disliked him in the first place, so it was not considered, but others said that it was a pity that Zhao Cheng married such a humble person like him.
The emperor even disliked him, even if his status was humble, but he always had a dejected look on his face, always timid and afraid to raise his head, and he didn't know a single word, so he wasn't worthy of his son at all.
Although men and women in this era cannot go to school to study, those who have the conditions can ask their husbands to come home and teach them how to read and write.
And Nan Qiqi had difficulty eating a full meal at home, so how could she be able to study.
But the emperor has been pampered since he was a child, and has never worried about not being able to eat enough and have no money to spend. Naturally, he does not understand the hard work of these low-level people who have exhausted all their efforts to survive, and he turns his helplessness into not being motivated.
Thinking of the emperor now, Nan Qiqi still had some resentment in her heart, but once this resentment came out, it would be overwhelmed by fear.
Thinking of the emperor in his last life, he couldn't help but take a sneak peek at Lu Ziqian. It turned out that the emperor was Lu Ziqian's biological father.
If in this life, the emperor and Lu Ziqian were reunited, and seeing Lu Ziqian married a well-educated brother, would he not be so disgusted?They will not force him to separate from Lu Ziqian.
But he knew that the emperor was Lu Ziqian's biological father, but he prevented Lu Ziqian from recognizing his biological father, and made Lu Ziqian miss the chance to be the prince. Is he still worthy of Lu Ziqian?
Lu Ziqian didn't tell Nan Qiqi about the contents of his notes, nor did he ever tell Nan Qiqi that he wanted to kill his own father. Nan Qiqi mistakenly thought that his concealment was blocking Lu Ziqian's glory and wealth. It's not good enough for Lu Ziqian.
Lu Ziqian didn't know what he was thinking, felt that Nan Qiqi was suddenly depressed, so he raised his hand and touched his head, "You are the one who defeated Li Xiucai, don't be unhappy, let's go back to the village and go sideways."
Nan Qiqi was amused by his words, "It's better not to tell others about this when you go back, Li Xiucai is too concerned about face, he will definitely pass out again after hearing this, and he has a small stomach, I'm afraid that when we are not at home, He went to pull our rice."
"That's right, but you have to be careful, this person is very bad." Lu Ziqian thought that in the future he would have to establish a good relationship with other villagers, so that if Li Xiucai wanted to play tricks, other people would have to stop him.
Before going back this time, Lu Ziqian took Nan Qiqi to buy a fish tank. There is no glass fish tank here, but there are porcelain fish tanks with elegant patterns.
Ordinary people don't care about raising fish. They are all sold to rich people as decorations, and the price is more expensive. Almost all of them cost two cents. If you choose something that looks better, the price will increase.
In the end, Lu Ziqian chose a fish tank with a painting of Bingdilian on the wall. When he touched it, it felt very delicate, and it cost half a tael of silver.
When Nan Qiqi heard the price, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp. He tugged on Lu Ziqian's sleeve and told him not to buy it, it was too expensive.
Lu Ziqian said he was not afraid, "Your husband is rich, this is a gift for you, don't you like fish, I will buy two more fish to raise in it later."
"I don't want it." Nan Qiqi felt that it was a waste, and ornamental fish were not suitable for eating or drinking. It would be better to buy two crucian carp and stew it in soup, which would also nourish the body.
But when Lu Ziqian led him to see the goldfish, he couldn't take his eyes away again. Goldfish is different from grass carp, with big bulging eyes, pouty mouth, conspicuous color, and a big tail. One fish is particularly beautiful , like a little fairy.
It was the first time Nan Qiqi was charmed by a fish, and her heart was moved.
In the end, he picked two goldfishes, one red and one black. The boss saw that they bought a lot, and gave them some pebbles for free.
Nan Qiqixin said that this thing can be picked up in a big bag by the river, but since it was given away for free, he happily went to pick it up with Lu Ziqian.
This fish is delicate and delicate, Nan Qiqi kept holding it in a small jar after leaving the store.
Lu Ziqian wanted to hold it for him, but he didn't feel at ease. He thought that his husband's rough hands and feet would definitely throw his fairy, but he said that he wanted to hold it himself because he liked it so much.
Lu Ziqian thought of his father taking him to buy fish when he was a child. At that time, he was only in kindergarten and his hands were so small. On the way back, he had to carry the fish by himself instead of asking his father to help him.
At that time, he was in a happy mood, and the very small happiness when he was a child will be warmed all day when he thinks about it when he grows up.
On the contrary, the happiness after growing up will be easily forgotten.
Nan Qiqi is now 19 years old, the villagers calculate according to the false age, it is still two years old, now Nan Qiqi is only 17 years old, still a child, reluctantly regard the present as his childhood, give him as much warmth as possible, hope that he will be [-] years old When I was in my thirties.
In case of any troubles, thinking of the happy moment now, I hope it can heal his restless heart.
"Shall we go back now?" Nan Qiqi looked at the things in their car. Before buying fish, Lu Ziqian bought some meat, pork ribs, and chicken and duck. Now that the weather is warmer, it can't be kept for a long time like before. , If you buy too much, it will break if you can't eat it, and he didn't buy a lot, it was enough for the past few days.
"What do you want to buy? I'll accompany you now." Lu Ziqian said.
"What do I want to buy?" Nan Qiqi shook her head, "I have nothing to buy."
"I give you pocket money every month, don't you plan to spend a penny?" Lu Ziqian asked him, "Do you remember what I told you before? You have to learn how to manage accounts, and when I become an official, You will be in charge of all the accounts at home. You don’t even know how to spend money, how do you learn how to keep accounts? Listen to me, you have to spend a lot of money today, and every time we come to town in the future, you have to Spend money at least once."
Nan Qiqi has always believed what Lu Ziqian said. Although he was reluctant to spend a penny, Lu Ziqian's words were very reasonable. Even if his heart ached, he had to spend money for their future.
But Nan Qiqi didn't have anything he wanted to buy for the time being, he thought hard, and finally thought of something.
He asked Lu Ziqian to take him to buy some chickens, ducklings, and geese, "Let's go back and raise them, so we don't have to come to the town to buy poultry meat in the future, and we also raise fish at home, so we can save money on buying fish." Well, if only I could raise a sheep and a few pigs."
"That's right. I think it's a waste to put sundries in our backyard. If it's full of animals, it will be much more lively." But they can't keep pigs at home, and they have to go out to raise sheep. He has to study and has no time. Lu Rulan Selling tofu and Nan Qiqi raising chickens and ducks are enough trouble.
Moreover, the smell of pigs is too strong. In fact, the smell of chicken and duck is quite strong, but the quantity is limited, and the taste is not particularly strong. If there are too many kinds of animals, the smell is too bad, which will affect the tofu business.
Lu Ziqian told Nan Qiqi about his concerns, and Nan Qiqi felt that it was reasonable, "We really can't be too greedy, we are already satisfied with chicken, duck and fish."
When Nan Qiqi mentioned food, his happy eyes narrowed together. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that his little goldfish would be scared, so he lowered his head and said to the jar, "I'm not talking about you, don't be afraid."
Seeing him talking to the little goldfish, Lu Ziqian thought that no matter who has a pet, he can't help but talk to the pet.
Before crossing over, his father raised a golden retriever. He often saw his father talking to the golden retriever, and the dog would bark a few times as an answer after his father finished speaking.
It's a pity that the fish can't call, and there's no way to respond to Nan Qiqi. It would be interesting if Nan Qiqi could get feedback.
As Lu Ziqian thought about it, he saw the little goldfish in the jar flicked its tail and jumped into the water on Nan Qiqi's face.
Nan Qiqi was not angry, but looked at the little goldfish in shock, and then at Lu Ziqian, "It understands what I'm saying."
Lu Ziqian wiped the water off his face and had fun with him.
Lu Ziqian remembered something, he asked Nan Qiqi, "What are you going to name these two little goldfish?"
Nan Qiqi hadn't thought about naming the fish, but he remembered that the dogs raised by the villagers all had names like big yellow and big black, so why couldn't his little goldfish be named.
Nan Qiqi thought for a while, pointed to the red goldfish and said, "This one is so beautiful, I want to call it a fairy."
After he finished speaking, he still felt embarrassed, and asked Lu Ziqian nervously with a blushing face, "Is it okay?"
Lu Ziqian looked at the little red goldfish, its tail was very flowing, like the hem of the fairy's clothes, "It matches it very well, Qiqi, you are so good at naming, it's so amazing."
Nan Qiqi had been praised so many times by Lu Ziqian, but he was still not used to such extroverted praise from Lu Ziqian.
He blushed and said, "I don't know how to name him either. I just chose this name because I saw how beautiful the fairy is."
"What about the other one? What's the name?" Lu Ziqian pointed to another black goldfish and asked.
Nan Qiqi looked at the fish, and didn't intend to buy it at first, but seeing that it was circling around the fairy all the time, it was quite handsome, so Nan Qiqi relented and bought it, "This one, it's called Blackie."
"Xiao Hei?" Lu Ziqian couldn't help laughing for a long time, "You are too biased, how sad is Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei flicked his tail and flicked the water off Nan Qiqi's face.
Nan Qiqi rubbed the water off her face, "Okay, so it turned out that you dumped the water on my face just now, I thought it was a fairy, you are so naughty."
"Double standard scene," Lu Ziqian shook his head and said to the little goldfish: "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei, whatever the fairy does is right, it's wrong for you to take a breath."
Nan Qiqi tilted her head and asked Lu Ziqian, "Can fish pant? People can't breathe when they are in the water. Fish should not pant in the water, right?"
"Of course fish also pant, but they use gills." Lu Ziqian told Nan Qiqi how to pant underwater.
After the two returned home, Lu Rulan found out that Lu Ziqian had bought so much food again, she reproachfully said, "How much money you have is not enough for you to spend."
"Qiqi thinks so too," Lu Ziqian said as he took out a box of rouge from his bosom and handed it to Lu Rulan, "Mother, I have money, I can't spend it all, and this is a gift for you."
"What do I, an old lady, use this for?" Lu Rulan wanted to beat him up.
"You are not old, you are forty years old, but you are only 38 years old. I think all the wives in the town use it, and they don't care about it when they are in their fifties or sixties. What's wrong with my mother?" Lu Ziqian said and led Nan Qiqi Go back to the house and put the fish tank.
Lu Rulan held the box of rouge in her hand. Although she knew she wouldn't use it, she liked it.
When I was young, I was reluctant to use it, but before I knew it, I would get old, and it would be inappropriate to use it again.
Besides, which elderly woman in the village still uses rouge, so rumors spread about it.
She put away her things carefully, and will use them later when Lu Ziqian passes the exam and goes to a big city with Lu Ziqian. Maybe it's strange that she, the mother of a high-ranking official, doesn't dress up at that time.
This time Lu Ziqian not only bought a fish tank and fish, but also bought a special shelf for the fish tank. Putting the fish tank on it, the whole room has a special flavor.
This time Lu Ziqian also bought some things to renovate the room and came back with a new bed sheet and quilt cover, which he found someone to order. People in this era don't use quilt covers, they are all quilt covers that are directly sewn on the quilt, and it is very easy to remove and wash. trouble.
The last time he went to Mr. Qin's side, he took the time to go to the tailor's shop and found someone to order a quilt cover. This time, he made it up and took it back.
Summer is coming, there are mosquitoes, and he has set up bed nets.
The old tables and chairs were also custom-made for new ones. The table was custom-made by the carpenter in the village. A batch of new ones were replaced a while ago, and the paper on the windows was also replaced with new ones.
The whole room took on a new look, Nan Qiqi watched Lu Ziqian change the quilt cover and sheets, put up the bed curtain, and said with a smile: "This is not like a small farmyard, but more like a scholar's room."
"Aren't we two scholars?" Lu Ziqian asked Nan Qiqi to wait for a while, he went out to the carpenter's house, and brought back two chairs.
This chair is different from ordinary wooden chairs. He asked a carpenter to wrap a layer of cloth on the back and seat surface of the chair, and the cloth was stuffed with cotton.
It is similar to a sofa chair. Usually, the two of them write, and making that kind of hard chair is too painful. He is afraid that within two years, both of them will have hemorrhoids, so he ordered this soft chair return.
He put the chair in front of the table, and took out a notebook he had painted himself. On the cover was a persimmon branch he had drawn, with a few heavy persimmons hanging on it.
"This is for your bookkeeping. You write down your monthly income, expenses, what you bought, and how much you have left over." Lu Ziqian made a plan for him, "Use up this book this year."
"Use it up this year?" Nan Qiqi squeezed the thickness of the notebook, "I have to spend money every day to finish memorizing this notebook..."
Nan Qiqi said in embarrassment: "Give me three years and I won't be able to use it all up. How about this? I will remember the expenses of our family, the money Mother makes from selling tofu every day, and the consumption of beans, as well as the grain income from the fields, and The number of chickens, ducks, geese, fish, and how many eggs they laid."
Nan Qiqi squeezed the notebook again, "I can use it up in a year."
"As expected of someone who will be an official's wife in the future, with a delicate mind, I will let you take care of the house in the future, I am at ease." Lu Ziqian first asked him how to keep accounts, including today's expenses on it, and how much Nan Qiqi himself had Pocket money, how much money Lu Ziqian has in his hand, and how much money is saved in his family.
Nan Qiqi remembered it in great detail and wrote several pages, but he didn't feel tired at all, and found it very fresh and interesting. Now he feels that he is finally a part of this family.
Lu Rulan saw that they had bought five chicks, ten ducklings and ten goslings, and she liked them very much. She made a small space in the backyard and built a fence, and put them inside.
The little ones were still very timid, and they were huddled together in a fluffy way.
After Lu Ziqian and Nan Qiqi got out of the house, they saw the little hairballs surrounded by the fence.
The two couldn't help squatting outside the fence to watch, Lu Ziqian asked Lu Rulan worriedly, "They are still so young, will they freeze to death if they are kept outside? Or put them in my house for a while?"
Lu Rulan said in her heart that this son is so naive, and she persuaded him to let him go to the house. His house can't be full of shit, can people still live in it?
Lu Rulan: "Don't worry, let you stay overnight, if you freeze to death, they won't freeze to death."
Lu Ziqian felt the contempt from his mother, "It's good to keep them here, it's spacious, should we feed them some millet?"
When Lu Ziqian was a child, he saw that a neighbor’s child kept two chicks as pets, and the child’s grandmother fed the chickens with millet.
But after he said this, Lu Rulan despised him again.
"Do you think I usually feed you millet?" Lu Rulan drove them away, "Okay, okay, I'll raise the chickens and ducks from now on, don't worry about it."
"I know how to raise them, mother, don't drive me away." Nan Qiqi struggled and said, "I used to raise them when I was at home, and I know how to feed them."
After listening to what Nan Qiqi said about what to feed them, Lu Rulan fed them several times a day, and suddenly felt that Nan Qiqi was much more reliable than her son.
Time passed quickly, and the seedlings in the field grew taller and taller, green and lush.
Everyone in the village was concerned about the movement of the terraced fields on the hillside, and what happened to the fish raised in Lu Ziqian's house.
Unexpectedly, the rice seedlings on the terraced fields they were not optimistic about grew very well and were very strong, and the seedlings in Lu Ziqian’s field grew better than those in other people’s homes. Some people went to his rice field to watch the excitement, and they really saw that they had grown up. some fish.
The fish looks very lively, and it will be ready to eat in a while. There are hundreds of fish, and their family can't finish eating fish every day.
At the beginning, many people suspected that the fish would eat the roots of rice seedlings, but they didn't.Only then did someone think that when Lu Ziqian said that when raising fish in the field, the fish excrement can be used as nourishment and eat pests, so that the seedlings grow stronger and the harvest can be [-] to [-]% higher than usual.
Everyone didn't believe it at the beginning, but now it's not yet the harvest season, and many people are already jealous.
The author says:
