The shallow moonlight fell lightly on the courtyard.

The crescent Emei moon hangs in the sky like a thin silver hook, and of course its light cannot be bright.

But at this moment, the glow spreading here is just right.

Not clear or dark.

Not thick, not light.

Just like the father and son sitting here at this time, there is still some distance between them, but their words have gradually become casual.

Just like this pot of tea that has been drunk.

There is no bitterness of the tea head, and there is no strong fragrance in the tea. It is a bit bland, but it is just right for quenching thirst.

The early summer wind blew the bright red lantern, making the light sway a little hazy, and the expression on Li Wenhan's face became uncertain.

He still looked nervous.

His eyes towards Li Chenan were also full of expectation.

But at this time, Li Chenan raised the corner of his mouth and said something that made him a little disappointed:

"As for studying...actually, I'm really not that good at it."

"I really can't memorize the Three Character Classic, let alone the Four Books and Five Classics."

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you, but let me think about it... I am born with talents that will be useful. Although I am not good at reading, I can still do something else."

“Like doing business!”

When Li Chenan said these words, his tone was still as calm as the moonlight, but Li Wenhan did not deny it as directly as before.

He picked up the tea cup and pondered for a moment, still unwilling to accept it.

I thought that this child could write poems that could be included in "Ning Shi Ji Yuan's One Hundred Chapters", how could he not even memorize the Three Character Classic?

When he said this, he was probably resisting those actions he had taken in the past.

In his heart, studying is the only future!

Nothing else.

"You are an adult now. Logically speaking, as a father, you shouldn't say anything more."

"It's just that in today's society, the status of scholars is still higher than that of businessmen."

He put down the tea cup and added with seriousness: "It is said that everything is of inferior quality, only those who are good at education, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are always ranked first."

"Actually, I am telling you this not because I really want you to make the lintel of the third bedroom of our Li family taller and brighter, nor because I want to compete with the other two bedrooms, but for your own good!"

"After all, only by becoming an official can you have the opportunity to have a wife and a son, and can you be respected by all people."

Li Chenan listened very carefully, just like when he was a child in the countryside in his previous life, his father and his childhood self had said similar things.

It’s just that my father’s words were more direct??——

If you want to get out of farming, if you can't bear the hard life of facing the loess and turning your back to the sky, then study hard!

Otherwise...just come back and let me herd cows and raise pigs!

The truth is the same, except that in his previous life, Li Chenan was really afraid of that kind of hard life, so he really worked hard to study, and then walked out of the endless mountain.

But now, he really can't take the exam!

"My father is very thoughtful, but now the brewing workshop is about to be completed, and the arrow is ready to be fired."

Li Chenan decided that he could no longer argue with his father about this topic, and he said:.o

"A lot of money has been invested. If we just stop using it, the loss will be immeasurable. Therefore, making wine is also the most urgent thing to do at the moment."

"You think about it, if you like, move to the winery and wait for a while... I'm afraid it will be a bit long. Then move back after the situation calms down."

"how?"

This is the stubbornness of my son!

Why……!

Li Wenhan sighed deeply in his heart, thinking that it would be enough for his son to come back and sit here and talk to him calmly.

Why do you need to force yourself so much anymore?

"The Guangling Huo family's strength is not as simple as what appears on the surface."

"Huo Baiyang is my father's former classmate. He is very scheming and very good at maneuvering. Therefore, he is only thirty-six now, but he has already reached the rank of Shao Zhan Shi in Zhan Shi Mansion and has become a close minister of the prince."

"In addition...his wife is the daughter of Zuo Bifu, the current minister of the Ministry of War. The Zuo family is also quite powerful, not in Yujing City, but in Yingzhou in the north."

"The Huo family now has forty-eight men, twelve of whom live in temples. They are all officials in various places, such as Huo Chuanming, the general magistrate of Guangling City, Huo Guang, the magistrate of Huyin County, and Huo Gang, the magistrate of Yixian County.

etc."

"The Huo family is a model of business and excellence, but now it is gradually showing its edge. Your wine is better than that of the Huo family... This contradiction must be serious... To solve this situation, I will write a letter for my father and give it to your second uncle.

"

"If your second uncle is willing to help you, it won't be a big deal."

Li Chenan thought for a while, and now the other two members of the Li family have lived in Kyoto for a long time, and they no longer even exchange letters with the third member.

Something must have happened that I didn't know about, otherwise in this society with a strong sense of clan, people of the same clan should have become one.

My current father is also a proud man, but for these things of his own, the first thing he thinks of is to ask his second uncle Li Wenhou for help.

Coupled with his knowledge of the Huo family, he remembered that this father was not good at asking for information, which was enough to show that his father knew some of the things he was doing now, and had even been worried about it for a long time.

Li Wenhan's words once again touched a chord in Li Chenan's heart.

"I can solve this problem myself."

"Prefect Liu? Prefect Liu can help you a little, but, Prefect Liu's foundation is too shallow."

"If the Huo family in Guangling City can't do anything to you because of Magistrate Liu, then Huo Baiyang from Kyoto will definitely get involved. By then... I'm afraid Magistrate Liu won't be able to protect himself!"

"This matter is left to my father's arrangement. I will write a letter and send it to your second uncle immediately!"

"As for moving to your workshop... let your mother and your sister go there for the time being."

After saying this, Li Wenhan stood up and left.

Li Chenan did not stop him. Firstly, this was his father's wish. Secondly, he also wanted to know if there was any brotherhood between the eldest uncle, second uncle and the third uncle.

As for the father's decision to stay, it is understandable. After all, he still has a concubine living in the west courtyard.

Based on his relationship with that concubine, he certainly knew that he would not take her to the wine shop.

After a while of burning incense, Li Wenhan came back again.

When he came back, he walked very quickly, and his body was much straighter than before.

"My father will send this letter out early tomorrow morning. It will take about twenty days to receive a reply from your second uncle."

Li Wenhan sat down, but there was no relaxed look on his face. He still forced a smile and asked: "There will be a Dragon Boat Festival party tomorrow. Zhang Yuanzheng of Qianmo Academy has invited you for my father's sake. Maybe you can attend?"

Li Chenan shook his head, "There are really a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I won't go."

"this……"

Li Wenhan showed a hint of disappointment on his face. How much he hoped that his son could become famous at the cultural conference tomorrow!

In this way, the entire Guangling City should know how talented his son is, and should know that this son is not a fool, but a truly learned man!

"All right,"

"This family... you will always be the eldest son of the third family of the Li family. If you want, this family will still be your home. You can come back at any time!"
Chapter completed!
