Chapter 54
Chapter 52:
The sunny Li Qingyan and the somewhat random Li Qingtang will finally be able to enter the house and have a good conversation.
Last time Li Qingtang was unwell, Li Qingyan had already been to Li Qingtang’s room, but there was no light in the room. When Li Qingyan opened the door and entered, the moonlight behind her passed through her and fell on the shadow wall behind the door.
She only noticed that there were two lines of small characters on the upper right corner of the landscape wall in Li Qingtang’s house.
Tomorrow is tomorrow, tomorrow is so much!
I am born to wait for tomorrow, and everything is in vain.
These sentences are from “Tomorrow’s Song”, which means that if you wait until tomorrow to do everything, then you can’t do anything well.
Li Qingyan thought about it a little, and knew that this was what Li Qingtang exhorted herself to study hard.
At this time, Dong Ning had already crept in, lighting up the lights in the room, the room was bright, Li Qingyan was led to the room, while the rest of the light swept across the desk not far away, there are several books on the desk. The booklet that was turned over was obviously caused by the owner’s frequent flipping. The book on the top was “Shui Jing Zhu”. On the side of the white paper, there were densely packed small prints, which looked like excerpts of remarks.
After the two were seated, Li Qingtang was a little afraid to look at Li Qingyan, but couldn’t bear to be curious.
Although he didn’t say a word, he kept hiding behind the door, and when he saw Li Qingyan standing in the moonlight, Li Qingtang couldn’t help but sway for a long time.
Compared to the resentment of a dog and the shock of walking through the back door without the strength, Li Qingzheng’s words have been lingering in his ears.
He didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t know how to face Li Qingyan. He wanted to go and ask Li Qingyan the truth, but he was afraid of what Li Qingzhen said.
Therefore, he locked himself in the house alone, forcing himself not to think about anything and become a deserter.
Until, Li Qingyan came to the door and said that.
Li Qingtang couldn’t deny that, while he was relieved, he couldn’t help but rejoice in his heart.
But behind Huanxi, there was a deep timidity, because he saw Li Qingyan’s eyes, as if he was even more indifferent than Li Qingyan who ignored him before.
Li Qingtang’s heart beats, knowing that something is wrong with him.
Li Qingtang, who hesitated again and again, finally couldn’t help but speak when he finally saw Li Qingyan turn around.
Because, at that time, he had a trance and intuition, if he didn’t say it, he might really lose his cousin.
Just when Li Qingtang didn’t know how to speak, his stomach felt more obedient than him, and he groaned.
The funny voice suddenly eased the tension between the two of them.
Li Qingtang was even more embarrassed, lowered his head, redness was piled on his chubby cheeks.
“Fat… Fatty is afraid of being hungry.”
Li Qingyan originally wanted to stretch her face for a while, so that Li Qingtang realized the seriousness of the crisis of trust. It could be seen that a blushing little chubby touched her belly cutely, and she could no longer be stretched.
“Puff,” laughed out loud.
With this smile, the two of them completely turned the story over.
After Li Qingyan laughed twice, she told Qiuping to let the small kitchen prepare meals. She just remembered that Dongning had said that Li Qingtang didn’t even eat dinner.
Immediately afterwards, she hooked her hand to Li Qingtang, and the corner of her mouth turned upward.
“come over.”
Seeing Li Qingyan smiled, Li Qingtang also prepared a meal for him, thinking that Li Qingyan forgave him, and felt moved that he had done something wrong. When he saw Li Qingyan let him go, he didn’t think much about it, so he obediently stepped forward.
Unexpectedly, there was a pain on his chubby cheek.
Li Qingtang let out a cry, an incredible flash of eyes flashed in his eyes.
His elder cousin who looks like a fairy is actually pulling his cheek? !
Such a childish punishment method obviously surprised Li Qingtang. He thought that his cousin would punish him for copying books.
Li Qingtang’s eyes widened because he irritated his cousin, Li Qingyan, letting Li Qingyan rub and round, did not resist.
Li Qingtang is so obedient as a white bread, she feels embarrassed to be on it when Li Qingyan kneads it.
Although she felt a little reluctant to bear the sensuality of her palm, Li Qingyan still withdrew her hand and talked about the topic.
“Do you want to know the truth?”
Li Qingtang’s eyes flickered, first nodded, paused, and then shook his head quickly.
Li Qingyan was puzzled.
“how?”
Li Qingtang said.
“Regardless of the truth, I believe in my cousin.”
Xu is that Li Qingyan’s eyes under the moonlight were too scary. When Li Qingtang said this, his tone was very firm, for fear that he would make his cousin sad again.
Li Qingyan lightly nodded Li Qingtang’s forehead.
“Remember what you just said.”
“However, I really want to tell you the truth, otherwise, you will never know how strong you are.”
“Strength? Me?”
Li Qingtang’s round eyes were slightly enlarged, pointing to himself, as if he didn’t believe what Li Qingyan said.
When Li Qingyan saw Li Qingtang’s appearance, he knew that he had been influenced by Li Qingzheng and began to have doubts about himself again. Therefore, what follows is more necessary to say.
Li Qingyan considered the words and took a deep breath.
“Li Qingzheng has something to say, and it is true that I did not make a mistake. I did exchange it with Wang Zhangyuan.”
Before the surprise on Li Qingtang’s face was fully revealed, I heard Li Qingyan’s way again.
“But, I just said let Wang Zhangyuan give you a chance to let him see you.”
Li Qingtang was stunned, some did not understand.
“My cousin’s intention is to let the Wang Zhangyuan give me a chance to test, but he didn’t let the Wang Zhangyuan accept me directly?”
Li Qingyan nodded.
“Of course, if you want to worship the Wangzhangyuan as your teacher, you naturally have to be recognized by the Wangzhangyuan. Your cousin won’t lead you down the wrong path.”
“As a human being, being down-to-earth is the most important thing, and getting something for nothing, isn’t it also uneasy in my heart.”
Li Qingyan’s last sentence was in the heart of Li Qingtang. When he was swaying before, there was indeed a layer of worry. He was afraid that Wangzhangyuan was not optimistic about him. He could not sit firmly as a disciple of Wangzhangyuan, and would be ridiculed by the outside world.
“Then why did Wang Zhangyuan accept me directly?”
Li Qingtang became more confused as he listened, and asked.
“This is what I really want to tell you, my exchange with Wangzhangyuan did not succeed, because Wangzhangyuan…”
When talking about this, Li Qingyan’s tail sound deliberately turned a few times, trying to slander Li Qingtang’s appetite.
Sure enough, Li Qingtang’s chubby face wrinkled together anxiously.
“Cousin, what is going on?”
Li Qingyan then continued.
“Because, Wang Zhangyuan has long been attracted to you.”
If this is to be put on a man and a woman, it is affectionate.
But the object was Wangzhangyuan, and Li Qingtang certainly didn’t think about it affectionately, and seemed to understand it all at once in a daze.
The chubby flesh on Li Qingtang’s face trembled, surprise and joy suddenly poured into the eyebrows, but it didn’t take long for it to be unexpected again, and he couldn’t believe it, and raised his eyebrows.
“But how can Wangzhangyuan look at me? Not to mention the first cousin, but the third cousin, the fourth and fifth cousins are much better than me.”
“Even if they pass the entrance examination, they can also become the disciples of Wangzhangyuan, and the two do not affect them.”
“How could it be me…”
Li Qingtang was still thinking about it, but Li Qingyan had already interrupted him.
It seems to be a joke, but it also seems to be serious.
“But they can’t memorize “Shui Jing Zhu”, let alone recite it backwards.”
Li Qingtang obviously didn’t believe it.
“My cousin is not to be joking, but an “Shui Jing Zhu” is a rote memorization for a period of time. Anyone can do it. How can such a trivial trick be in the eyes of Wangzhangyuan.”
“The little trick? Not necessarily, the second cousin don’t always deny yourself.”
Li Qingyan smiled mysteriously.
In fact, the key point that the Wangzhangyuan will accept Li Qingtang is the Wangzhangyuan told Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan thought for a while.
“Second cousin, why did you choose to recite the “Shui Jing Zhu”? Have you ever wondered why Wang Zhangyuan will teach us the “Shui Jing Zhu”?”
“I don’t know what Wangzhangyuan meant…”
“Wangzhangyuan can be put aside first, and let’s talk about you first.”
“Why choose to recite “Shui Jing Zhu”?”
Li Qingyan repeated it again solemnly.
Only then did Li Qingtang raised his eyelids, his eyes were slightly embarrassed, and a little shy, he tugged at the corner of his clothes.
“Speak out, don’t be afraid of your cousin’s jokes.”
“I used to occasionally go to teahouses and listened to the storyteller talking about the big and small things that happened in the north and south of the river. In the past few months, I always heard the story about the flooding of waters around the Yellow River, and many victims moved to nearby towns, but there were some victims. , But fell into the grass as a bandit, blocking the business travel along the road.”
“Later, I consulted some historical materials. From ancient times to the present, most of the thieves in the Yellow River area were forced to become helpless and become thieves for this reason.”
“So, I was thinking, if the flooding of the Yellow River is brought under control, whether thieves will be greatly reduced, the law and order around the Yellow River will be much better, and the people will definitely be richer and healthier than before.”
“That’s why I just started to learn about water conservancy and river-related books, “Shui Jing Zhu” is just one of them.”
After listening to Li Qingyan, her heart was clear, and she was almost the same as Wang Zhangyuan thought.
Because, Wang Zhangyuan once said, unless it is really interested, for no reason, no one will delve into the book “Shui Jing Zhu” so deeply.
Wang Zhangyuan felt that Li Qingtang must have its reasons. Later, Wang Zhangyuan considered a lot of Li Qingtang’s problems related to river management. Although he could not answer all of the questions, he could answer one or two. It can be seen that he has bothered to study. of.
Only then did Wang Zhangyuan confirm that Li Qingtang started to study “Shui Jing Zhu” out of the thought of treating rivers.
And why does he have this mind?
What Li Qingtang learned from Mr. Storyteller, in the position of Wangzhangyuan, it is even more important to understand, but Wangzhangyuan is not in the mood to listen to the book, but to study the trends of the court, which is the so-called current political hotspot. In this way, bet on the subject of the “imperial examination”.
There are countless people in Wangzhang Academy. Naturally, he knows that Li Qingtang is pure and good in nature, not to please him or to guess questions.
Although Li Qingtang didn’t have this thought, it was also the point that really moved Wangzhangyuan.
If people are not for themselves, they are for others.
Obviously, Li Qingtang put himself in the Yellow River area for the people to consider, so that he would have this awareness and idea.
Although he has no fame, he has a heart to remember the people of Li people in the world. This is what Wangzhangyuan really likes Li Qingtang.
An official who can take the hearts of the people as his heart is bound to be a good official.
Although Wangzhangyuan does not enter official positions, he is willing to cultivate such good officials.
He really appreciates Li Qingtang from the bottom of his heart and has high hopes.
And because Wangzhangyuan had already accepted Li Qingtang as a disciple, the exchange between him and Li Qingyan had not been achieved, but in order to fulfill his promise, Wangzhangyuan seemed to have prepared another exchange item.
However, at that time, he was mysterious, only Li Qingyan would know by then.
