Chapter 19: A Scholar Who Is Useless
Played with the silver medal for a while.
The silver medal has three square fingers and is in the shape of a shield. One side is engraved with a chicken, and the other side is engraved with three characters - Lijingsi.
Li Chenan bit his teeth and smacked his teeth. It seemed that it was not pure silver.
But these are not important. What is important is that when I came to this world, I finally had a talisman.
As for what the handsome father-in-law said about spying on information, of course he would not do it himself.
I will go to the Four Temple Alley another day and find Cuihua who sells coffins. I will leave all the daily work of Lijing Division to her. At the end of the month, I will give myself a work report so that I can explain it to the Presbyterian Council above.
.
With this in mind, Li Xiaohua from Li Ji Grain Store in Xishi pulled a carriage and dragged the grain he bought over.
Li Xiaohua was still wearing the short Gua suit, with a gray-white sweat scarf tied around her waist.
He carried two bags of grain on his shoulders, two bags of grain under his arms, and one bag of grain in each hand.
He just walked into the backyard.
I didn't bend my back or hunch, and I didn't even take a breath.
"Sir, they are all here. Can you tell me where to put them?"
Li Chenan looked at his strong body and swallowed. Li Xiaohua tightened her crotch and said quickly: "Sir, I don't want to do that kind of work!"
Li Chenan was stunned and glared at Li Xiaohua: "What are you thinking about? Put it in the west wing!"
Li Xiaohua put down the bags and walked out. She scratched her head and grinned innocently: "The villain may have misunderstood... This trend is quite popular in the military. The villain is stupid and cannot learn, hehe."
Codes!
Fortunately you haven't learned it yet. Even if I learned it, I wouldn't dare to use you!
"Have you discussed it with your mother? If possible, bring me all the food stored in your shop. From now on, you and your mother will live in the two rooms at the west end. It's a bit small, so I'm sorry for the time being."
"Hey, sir, take a look at the monthly money..."
Li Chen'an thought about it, a bronze agent is only two taels of silver, this guy can develop into a secret agent under his own, "How about two taels of silver for a month with food and shelter included?"
Li Xiaohua's eyes lit up, "Okay! When will the villain move here?"
Li Chenan thought that he would go to Qianmo Academy diagonally across the street later. "Tomorrow, tomorrow morning you bring all the food in your shop. You can take these ten taels of silver first and weigh them in the evening.
Your mother will settle the accounts and settle them tomorrow."
Li Xiaohua didn't expect to meet such a generous master. His big palm-like hands hurriedly waved, "It's okay, I can't do it. A little man will bring the food tomorrow and we'll settle the accounts."
"Take it, don't be nagging, go ask Dr. Zhang from Hui Chun Hall to give your mother a good look!"
"Well, thank you very much, sir!"
"Remember to call me Master from now on!"
"Okay, thank you young master, I will take my leave!"
Li Xiaohua carefully put the ten taels of silver into her arms and walked out of the backyard.
Li Chenan followed him out, and was shocked as he watched the man pull the carriage onto his body, pull it and run away like flying.
Faster than a serious horse!
What a special talent!
This guy...how much can he eat in one meal?
…
…
Li Chenan went to the West Market again and bought a jar of Guangling Powder.
This jar weighs about ten kilograms, two and a half small buckets, and is worth twenty taels and five cents of silver.
Really expensive!
But compared to the wine I want to brew, it’s so cheap!
You can't go empty-handed when you go to Qianmo Academy to see the flowers in the courtyard. It will take some time before you can get your own wine, so you can only buy a jar of Guangling Powder.
Carrying the wine jar and stepping on the setting sun, he arrived at Qianmo Academy.
The concierge, who was dozing under the sunset, looked at him twice after hearing his purpose, and then lazily went in. When he came out, his expression towards Li Chenan became much better.
He even bowed respectfully: "Sir, Master Hua is waiting for you at Zuixin Pavilion!"
"...How to get to Zuixin Pavilion?"
"Enter through this gate, and after seeing the row of academies, go around the path on the right and you will see an open lotus pond. The Zuixin Pavilion is on the lotus pond. It is easy to find."
"Thank you, husband!"
"Young Master, you're welcome."
Li Chenan walked into Qianmo Academy. When he came outside the academy, it happened that the academy was out of school.
A large group of energetic students came out of the academy, chatting together in twos and threes. It was very lively, and Li Chenan was in a trance, feeling that he had returned to the university days of his previous life.
"Hey, look, is that Li Chenan?"
"Which Li Chenan?"
"That's Li Chenan, the eldest son of Li Yuanzheng of Zhuxia Academy!"
The young man added: "It's the one diagonally across from our college that sells steamed cakes and straw cakes!"
"It's really him...why did he come to our academy?"
"Who knows? He probably sneaked in when Zhang Mentou was napping."
"Come to get a little bit literary?"
"Even if you throw him into the ink pool and lift him up, you won't be able to bring out any ink... By the way, I ran into Huo Shufan a few days ago. Brother Huo said that this guy hasn't returned the marriage certificate to Miss Shen yet, but he can't bring back any ink..."
The lady suffered terribly."
"He will definitely not retreat. With his reputation as a fool, who of the girls in Guangling City will marry him?"
"..."
Li Chenan was very innocent now. He stretched out his hand and said, "That boy, come here!"
The kid who was the most energetic among the group of teenagers stood up and raised his neck, "What? How dare you, a fool, to act wild in our Qianmo Academy?"
Li Chenan twisted the wine jar and walked over, showing a fierce look.
He now had the silver sign in his arms, and he was thinking about whether it would be useful to try that thing before the handsome father-in-law left Guangling City.
Since this guy is here to provoke me, it's just for verification.
Beat him up!
When the officials come, show the sign and see the effect.
The young man was startled, but he didn't expect Li Chenan to stride forward.
He suddenly remembered what he had just heard yesterday - on the evening of the third day of March, this guy went back to Li's Mansion and beat up five of Li's servants.
My body is definitely not as strong as my servant's. If this guy really beats me, it doesn't matter if he is imprisoned for being a fool. I have lost face in front of so many classmates... which is not worth it.
He quickly took a step back and retreated into the crowd, "Don't think that I am afraid of you. I am not as knowledgeable as a fool like you!"
After seeing the remaining students, there were two sleeves, and they shouted in their mouths: "I'm afraid he will do it!"
"Brother Zhang, if you're not afraid of him, it's really not worth it!"
When the man surnamed Zhang heard this, he thought, yes, the man surnamed Liang provoked that fool. What should I do to make a difference?
"What Brother Liang said is absolutely true!"
He also took a step back and lowered his sleeves,
The other young man took a look and said, "You guys are not up for it, so let me challenge you one to one?"
No, I won't be fooled by this.
As a result, a strange scene appeared in this huge square——
Li Chenan pressed forward step by step, and the six teenagers retreated step by step. They kept saying harsh words while retreating, but the increasingly pale looks on their faces betrayed them.
At this moment, Su Muxin came over.
"Brother Li,"
Li Chenan stopped, looked at the group of teenagers and raised his middle finger with contempt: "Bai Wuyi is a scholar!"
This statement has a somewhat broad impact.
Although his voice was not loud when he said this, Su Muxin was right beside him.
"Brother Li,"
"Ah, I'm not talking about you. These people are slandering me. You don't know that I value my reputation the most. Since Brother Li is here, let's spare them for now. Let's go. Don't keep Mr. Hua waiting."
Su Muxin looked at Li Chenan and thought, you are already seventeen years old!
If you really value your reputation, how have you endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden and survived these seventeen years?
Li Chenan followed Su Muxin and left.
The group of students breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man surnamed Liang spat at Li Chenan's back fiercely, "If Senior Su hadn't taken him away, I would have beaten him black and blue regardless of his identity!"
"That's right, I gave him something so shameless that I really thought we were afraid of him!"
"No, Senior Su is the leader of the four most talented people in Kyoto. How do you know him? Where is Senior Su taking him?"
All the students were speechless. They all had the answer in their hearts, but no one said it out of their mouths.
…
…
Zuixin Pavilion.
When Li Chenan followed Su Muxin to the pavilion, there were two people sitting in the pavilion.
One is, of course, a white-haired but energetic man with a lot of flowers, and the other is a middle-aged man with an aristocratic air.
That kind of nobility is different from Shen Qianshan's.
Shen Qianshan's nobility is shown through his accessories, but this middle-aged man's elegance is revealed from his bones.
For example, his square face is smiling but not angry.
He raised his head and looked at Li Chenan. There was no color in his eyes, but that look made Li Chenan seem to see a bottomless abyss.
People in the government!
Guan'er must be quite young!
Li Chenan didn't say anything. Anyway, you have that brand in your pocket, so what if you are the prime minister?
He placed the jar of wine on the stone table and saluted Hua Manting with a smile, "Hello, sir!"
"Young man, I am thinking that since you are a literary figure, you should like to drink."
"I should have come to visit you with the wine I brewed, but time is too tight. It will take some time before I can get my wine."
"Although this Guangling Powder is not as good as the wine I brew, it is better than nothing. We can also sing to the wine and taste what life is like!"
Li Chenan's first three sentences were all flattering. Although the middle-aged man didn't take it seriously, his impression of Li Chenan was much different.
But Li Chenan’s last words shocked him slightly——
Guangling San is considered to be a top-grade wine, but this young man can’t even compare to the wine he brewed!
Of course he didn't believe this, and he felt more and more that this young man was too wild.
But he happened to say a wise saying about the geometry of life when drinking wine and singing...
So just now the teacher said that this young man named Li Chenan has a great talent. The teacher could not have missed him. It should be true.
It's just that he's a little bit arrogant and needs more polishing.
I don't know what the teacher means by calling him here and introducing such a young man to him.
Chapter completed!
