Chapter 181 Spicy Duck

When Jin Xiaoye gave birth to a child, it was really not easy.

Li Laogen is a grown man and cannot take care of her. All the Li family's relatives are gone, and the family still doesn't have much money...

Fortunately, Jin's father and mother brought Jin Xiaoshu to help, so that she would not have no one around her.

But at that time, Jin's father had to work, and Jin's mother also had to do housework... The only person around her who could help was the teenage Jin Xiaoshu.

But it was also because of this that Jin Xiaoye took special care of Jin Xiaoshu.

"Xiaoye, you have suffered." Li Qing held Jin Xiaoye's hand. Fang Jinniang can eat whatever she wants, and her husband is still by her side. Where is Jin Xiaoye? Jin Xiaoye is about the same age as Fang Jinniang. Seven years ago, she was really very young.

"It's okay. There are many people who are more miserable than me. You don't know that some women in the village can only give birth in the woodshed. Xiaoshu and I were born in the woodshed." Jin Xiaoye said.

Grandma Jin felt that it was unlucky to give birth to a baby, as it would be bloody and easy to stain the bed, so she asked her daughter-in-law to give birth in the woodshed.

Her parents really didn't have extra bedding to change, and they were worried that they would have no place to sleep after giving birth to a baby on the bed, so they made a "bed" in the woodshed with straw and diapers prepared in advance, and gave birth there.

But after the birth, his father took her mother back to her room.

As for her eldest aunt, she doesn't go to the woodshed at all, and her grandma can't do anything about it.

Her grandma couldn't hold her chubby aunt.

The Jin family is like this, and some families go even further. They not only let their daughter-in-law give birth in the woodshed, but also let her confine herself in the woodshed, without even giving her anything good to eat during the confinement period.

But there are not many people like this. After all, if you do such a thing, you will be gossiped in the village.

And...unless the daughter-in-law has a particularly soft temper and is manipulated to death by her husband's family, she will run away.

These days, rich men can have three wives and four concubines, but many men without money are naturally unable to marry wives.

When they see someone else's daughter-in-law being wronged, shouldn't these bachelors try to comfort her?

When Jin Xiaoye thought about his mother, he felt a little resentful: "My mother's temperament is really too soft. It was the hardest time for her when she gave birth. At that time... I think it's okay if I think about it carefully."

According to what her mother said... After her mother gave birth to her, her grandmother said that girls were worthless and refused to help take care of her. She even refused to wash the diapers. When her father came back from work, the first thing he did was wash the diapers.

Later, her mother gave birth to Xiaoshu... Xiaoshu was a boy, but her grandmother was still unwilling to help. She washed Xiaoshu's diapers.

But Jin Xiaoshu also washed Li Damao and Li Ermao's diapers, so she was not at a loss.

And her mother was treated like this because her grandma was partial and because she was too soft-tempered.

It is said that when her eldest aunt gave birth to Jin Moli, her grandma did not want to take care of it. Her eldest aunt was howling in the house, saying that the Jin family treated their daughter-in-law harshly... Her grandma wanted to save face and washed the diapers immediately.

What she said... Her mother suffered during her confinement period, so she couldn't bear to see her suffer. She even started saving eggs for her very early. Her confinement period was no worse than that of other women in the village.

She gave birth to two babies at once, which really made her suffer.

On the way home, Jin Xiaoye talked a lot.

After Li Qingzhi listened, he also felt that the Golden Mother was a bit soft. With a personality like Jin Mu's, and without the support of her natal family, she is particularly vulnerable to bullying in rural areas.

If she married into a meaner family and had a husband with bad character, she might be tortured to death.

In this era, too many people live miserable lives.

When they got home, Li Damao and Li Ermao were still awake and playing backgammon with Gou Ying.

Li Damao and Li Ermao like to play backgammon very much. They play all day long and learn a lot of skills. On the contrary, Gou Ying has little time to play chess with others...

They always win when they play chess with Gou Ying.

At this moment, Gou Ying lost again.

But others are addicted to food: "Come again, come again! Have another plate!"

On the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Li Qingzhi sent someone to Fucheng to deliver a letter to Gou Tongzhi.

In the evening of that day, Gou Tongzhi came to Li's house in a hurry.

When Gou Ying ran out on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Gou Tongzhi thought he would come back soon, but Gou Ying never came back. They sent people to look for him but couldn't find him... God knows how worried Gou Tongzhi was that day.

He almost didn't sleep all night. When he received the letter from Li Qingzhi at noon the next day, he felt relieved and rushed over immediately. After rushing over, he wanted to educate his son.

Li Qingzhi stopped him and reasoned with him - when he beat the child before, the child ran away to Chongcheng County. What if he beat him again now and the child ran away to another place?

These are not peaceful times!

Gou Ying was lucky and came to Chongcheng County smoothly. If something unexpected happened...who would regret it?

Gou Tongzhi really didn't dare to fight. The fact that his son ran away almost frightened him, but he couldn't help but complain to Li Qing - his son had gotten better before, and he didn't know what happened. Once I went to Fucheng, another problem arose.

Li Qingzhi was not polite about this: "Master Gou, why didn't you send him to the gentleman I recommended?"

Gou Tongzhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Li Qing insisted: "This kid can't stand the hard way. If you find him a gentleman who is strict and likes to teach others, can he stop making trouble?"

Gou Tongzhi was stunned. In fact, Li Qingzhi had told him this truth, but he was too busy after going to Fucheng and forgot about it... Qian Fugui had already gone to the inn, so Li Qingzhi stayed with Gou Tongzhi. Know.

Gou Tongzhi talked to Gou Ying for a long time, but Gou Ying even bit him to death and refused to go back. He said that even if he was beaten to death, he would not go back. Gou Tongzhi had no choice but to agree to let Gou Ying stay in Chongcheng County. , continue to study with Li Xiucai.

He was busy with business and his wife was pregnant with a child, so they really didn't have time to take care of Gou Ying.

Gou Ying just stayed. Today, Gou Tongzhi also sent three servants.

One of these three people is a book boy about the same age as Gou Ying, one is a boy who is older than Gou Ying, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other is the second son of the Gou family's housekeeper in his thirties, who is the housekeeper. After training, Gou Ying can let him take care of anything in the future.

Li Qingzhi asked the three people to pack up an empty classroom at the school and live there. Gou Ying stayed with him temporarily, but he would also live there in the future.

Gou Ying was not happy with Li Qingzhi's decision at first, and even thought about renting a big house to live in.

But then he talked with the students in the school and saw the accommodation conditions of those students... Gou Ying agreed.

He can live alone in an empty classroom, but what about others? There are so many of them crammed into one room!

Moreover, Li Qingzhi said that teachers at Chongcheng Primary School would live in the school if they didn't go home at night, living in empty classrooms like him...

This is the treatment he gets from a teacher, how nice it is!

Fang Jinniang gave birth to a baby today. Li Qingzhi did not take them to Miaoqian Village because he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Li Damao and Li Ermao. However, in the next few days, the two children followed Jin Xiaoye and Li Laogen early in the morning. In Miaoqian Village, I watched my newborn sister and didn't go home until evening.

Li Qingzhi did not go with them.

He went to see Qian Fugui in the morning, wrote a book at home in the afternoon, and went to Miaoqian Village in the evening. He had a meal at Jin's house and took Jin Xiaoye and others home. He could also take a walk to exercise.

Most country people have many relatives and have to move around during the Chinese New Year. However, their family has few relatives, so only Jin Xiaoshu's family needs to move around, so it is much easier.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Qian Fugui quietly left Chongcheng County.

Li Qingzhi had already cured his waist injury and had taken care of other problems, but he didn't mention them specifically.

Qian Fugui didn't feel much at all. He just felt that after a few days of good rest, his physical condition was quite good.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Aunt Jin's family married her daughter-in-law. Li Qingzhi was invited to go and went to Miaoqian Village early in the morning.

They went to Jin's house first. The first thing Li Damao and Li Ermao did when they arrived at Jin's house was to go to Fang Jinniang's room to see their little sister.

Li Qingzhi couldn't get in, so he went to Aunt Jin's house.

Aunt Jin's family is full of joy. Aunt Jin's dull son always has a smile on his face. He is marrying a daughter-in-law who is several years older than him and has never met him. But these days... it is good to have a daughter-in-law. .

Li Qingzhi found a table to sit at and chatted with others.

He likes to join in the fun, but people in Miaoqian Village no longer dare to chat with him.

As soon as he sat there, the people around him spoke much more politely.

Li Qingzhi could feel that the distance between him and the people in Miaoqian Village was getting farther and farther. People in Miaoqian Village feel the same way.

In the past, they would say anything in front of Li Qingzhi. When Li Qingzhi first came back, they even made fun of Li Qingzhi, saying that Li Qingzhi was too thin to do any work, and asked Li Qingzhi to treat Jin Xiaoye better in case Jin Xiaoye would not want to raise him.

But now...he is a scholar, so he is different from them!

The wedding at Aunt Jin's house was quite lively. The bride was a bit strong, but because Aunt Jin's son was a tall man, the two of them matched well together.

After attending the wedding at Sister-in-law Jin's house, Li Qingzhi began to prepare for the start of school.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the school teachers came to the school. Li Qingzhi took this opportunity to give them another training... On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Chongcheng Primary School officially opened.

Early in the morning, students came to school one after another.

Today is the first day of school. Li Qingzhi waited in the school very early and asked the cook he hired to boil more water so that the students could take turns to take a bath.

He didn't let the female students cut their hair, but he did let the male students cut their hair.

The male students were not dissatisfied with this matter. In fact, some of the younger boys only had a small patch of hair left, and the rest of the hair was shaved off.

Among Daqi folk, adult men have long hair, but many children shave their hair short. However, they usually start to grow their hair when they are thirteen or fourteen years old.

Now Li Qingzhi asked them to cut their hair... let's cut it.

As for taking a shower...

Many people in the countryside don't take a bath in the whole winter. Li Qingzhi asked them to take a bath, which was very strange for them.

"My dad said that a bath in the county town's bathhouse costs a hundred cents!"

"So expensive? I must wash it well and slowly."

"It's better to wash it quickly, be careful not to run out of hot water!"

Go to the county bathhouse to take a bath. There is enough hot water, so you can use as much as you want.

But Li Qingzhi's side... Even if Li Qingzhi asked the people in the kitchen to boil water, it would not be enough for these students, so the hot water for everyone's bath was limited, and some people were even arranged to wash in the afternoon. .

When it's almost noon, the kitchen stops boiling water and starts cooking the students' lunch.

Li Qingzhi prepared some bacon and asked the cooks to cut it and give each student a piece, plus tofu and kelp soup and white rice... This meal was much better than last year.

The students who went to the cafeteria to eat were dumbfounded: "Are you really giving us this?"

"Give us some meat?"

"Did you give it to the wrong person?"

Finally, those who stayed during the Chinese New Year said: "That's right, we stayed in school during the Chinese New Year and could eat meat every day."

"Yes, we even had noodles a few times!"

"Mr. Li is very kind to us!"

Those who went home to celebrate the New Year were extremely envious after hearing this.

Their family background is not good and they can't afford such good food at home!

The female workers at Jinye Embroidery Workshop had not come here to study before, but they came here today. After hearing this, they said, "Mr. Li and shopkeeper Jin are the most generous. In the past, when we were at Embroidery Workshop, the food we had was very good, and every meal was meaty. I originally thought that when I came here to study, I wouldn't be able to eat so well, but I didn't expect that I could still eat meat."

After hearing this, these students were full of yearning for the next life.

When they were having lunch, Li Qingzhi was also having lunch.

The school teacher has an office, and they eat in the office, divided into two tables.

In addition to the salted pork in tofu soup that students eat at school, there are also three meals sent by Chang Zhan, namely scrambled eggs with garlic leaves, stir-fried vegetables and braised dried beans from Juewei Zhai.

These teachers were very happy to eat, and even Gou Ying who came to eat was not disgusted.

He has never really liked the home-cooked food here in Chongcheng County, but isn't it possible to eat Jueweizhai's braised dried tofu? His servants even went to Juewei Zhai and bought a piece of Juewei Zhai's new "Spicy Duck" for him to eat!

Jueweizhai's new flavor of spicy duck is really delicious. Gou Ying thinks it is the most delicious duck he has ever eaten in his life.

Li Qingzhi also thought the spicy duck was quite delicious, but... not spicy enough.

Since the advent of chili peppers, Chang Zhan has begun to research new flavors of braised food. However, there was not enough chili pepper before, so it was not launched.

Later, there was a bumper harvest of chili peppers, and it was possible to launch them, but the people at Juewei Zhai were too busy at that time, and they still lacked pots for making braised food...

Years ago, after the printing equipment was moved away, Chang Zhan found someone to renovate Juewei Zhai and added large pots and barrels that could be used to make braised food. He also bought a piece of land nearby and built a house for The workers of Juewizhai live in...

This way, there will be more space in the shop for making braised food!

After such busy work, he launched a new flavor of spicy duck after the new year.

Jueweizhai's braised meat is quite expensive, and this spicy duck is even more expensive, but its sales are very good.

People who don't like food won't eat it, but people who like it will really not be able to put it down after eating it once!

Fucheng.

Gou Tongzhi was having dinner with the people in the Yamen.

The food cooked by the yamen cook was mediocre, and I was so picky that I didn't even want to eat a bite.

Fortunately, he had someone buy some braised meat from Juewei Zhai, including a braised chicken and a spicy duck.

Gou Tongzhi took it out and invited everyone in the yamen to eat it together.

During the meal, everyone had to chat, and during this chat, they started talking about Gou Ying.

Gou Ying ran away from home on New Year's Eve, and Gou Tongzhi even mobilized people from the Yamen to find someone. Now everyone knows about it.

"Master Gou, are you okay, your son?" someone asked.

Gou Tong knew: "He is doing well and has gone back to Chongcheng County."

"Children of this age are very angry, and my child is not obedient."

"Yeah, my brat always annoys me."

"No one in my family is willing to talk to me..."

... The children in these people's families actually don't have any big problems, but Gou Tongzhi's son is so troublesome... They don't dare to say the best about their children, so they only talk about their children's shortcomings.

After hearing this, Gou Tongzhi felt much more comfortable.

When he took a bite of the spicy duck, he felt better.

This spicy duck is so delicious!

It was a pity that his wife had objections to Juewei Zhai because of Gou Ying's incident, and she did not allow Juewei Zhai's braised meat to appear on their dinner table.

provincial capital.

The entrances of several Jueweizhai shops are crowded with people, all coming to buy braised meat.

Many of the people who come to buy braised food come here for the spicy duck.

They say that the taste of spicy duck is very unique - rich people in provincial cities must buy some to try it!

This spicy duck is not easy to buy. It is said that the seasonings for making spicy duck come from overseas and are very rare. Therefore, Juewei Zhai only makes fifty spicy ducks every day and sends them to the provincial capital. It only adds up to ten pieces. How many...

But rich people can always eat. Shen Zhilan spent a lot of money to order a spicy duck in advance and had it today.

Mrs. Shen likes the taste of spicy duck very much: "It tastes a bit like the spicy dishes at Qingyun Tower we ate in the capital."

"It's a bit similar. It should be the same seasoning. This seasoning is probably very expensive. No wonder the price of spicy duck is so expensive. A duck is sold for one tael of silver! I bought it for another two taels!"

"You can't afford the spicy dishes at Qingyun Tower with only two taels of silver!" Mrs. Shen said.

"That's right." Shen Zhilan felt relieved after thinking this, and told Mrs. Shen about Li Qingzhi's story book that was going to be printed.

This storybook was finally named "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories". Because it was in time for the Chinese New Year, it had not been printed before, but it is about to be printed now.

There are many people in their Shen Family Bookstore, so they should be able to start selling them in half a month.

"At that time, many people will definitely like this book." Mrs. Shen said.

Nowadays, there are many books for children. Some large families will write some stories and books suitable for children, so that the children in the family can read them.

But this book is different, the story above is more interesting.

"That's just right, we can make a lot of money!" Shen Zhilan was very happy.

In a house in the provincial capital, Qian Fugui was also eating spicy duck.

He also bought the duck at a high price, but he didn't feel bad about it at all.

The money would eventually go to his nephew anyway.

And today... Qian Fugui looked north.

Today was the day planned for the "gangster" to attack his wife, sister-in-law and nephew.

After today, his wife, sister-in-law, and nephew will "die".

Qian Fugui doesn't worry about anything else now, he only worries about his nephew.

His nephew's health was even very poor, and the doctor even said that he would not live to be twenty years old... He was not afraid of anything else but that his nephew would have an accident on the way.

His brother told him not to worry and said he would leave it to fate, but if something like this happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Qian Fugui thought of the healthy Li Damao and Li Ermao...

Shen Zhilan and Qian Fugui bought the spicy duck themselves, but Governor Zhang's spicy duck was given by Chang Zhan.

Governor Zhang lives not far from the Yamen. Because of his correspondence with Li Qingzhi, he will go home to eat whenever he is free.

He went home for dinner today.

The housekeeper brought a food box over, and Governor Zhang opened it and saw a plate of spicy duck and a plate of braised pork, both of which he loved.

Governor Zhang felt warm in his heart.

He has no children and has been living alone. However, in the past few months, people sent him meals every day and wrote letters to him.

He already regarded Chang Zhan and Li Qingzhi as close nephews.

"Master, I will take this braised pork to the kitchen, put it on the bottom of the bowl and cover it with hot rice before bringing it to you. It will taste better when it is hot." The butler said and took away the braised pork.

After the housekeeper left, Governor Zhang opened the envelope at the bottom.

So thick...Did Li Qingzhi write another book?

Governor Zhang was full of expectations. The books written by Li Qing, even the previous "Story Book" for children, were well written.

And this time...

Governor Zhang opened the book and saw the four words "The Travels of Ling Du".

Is this a travelogue? Li Qingzhi had experienced fleeing from famine and had indeed been to many places. It was normal for him to write a travelogue.

But as for travel notes, they are not as good as Li Qingzhi's previous books.

With this in mind, Governor Zhang opened the manuscript and was stunned.

This manuscript... was different from anything he had seen before. Some symbols were used to separate each sentence!

The beginning of this book explains what these symbols are.

"The sentence readings used in this book are called 'punctuation', which I learned during my travels..."

punctuation? This book is marked with punctuation, which makes it really clear!

Da Qi has a sentence to read. Many people buy the book and mark it when they read it.

When the teacher teaches his disciples, he will take the disciples to read, teach the disciples to segment sentences, and may even directly show the disciples a book with marked sentences.

In fact, at the beginning, the books Li Qingzhi borrowed from the Zhu family had all the sentences marked, otherwise he would not be able to understand them.

But there are no sentences in the newly printed books, and at most there are empty boxes... Li Qingzhi hopes to promote punctuation.

This will make it much easier for ordinary people to study.

But this matter is not easy to promote with Li Qingzhi's identity. People will think that he is deviant. He is just a scholar, and his identity is not enough...

Li Qingzhi simply promoted punctuation as a "lonely individual".

The reason why his "Lonely Travels" was only sent to Governor Zhang now is because he repeatedly changed the beginning.

The current "Alone Travels" is still not perfect, but it is really much better than the original.

As for this book, he plans to write it slowly. If it is published as a book, it can also be divided into many volumes and published slowly.

Anyway, it's a travelogue, so just write whatever you want. This first volume should actually be called "A Travel Notes of Alone: Muqiao Village". Li Qingzhi plans to write about a village called "Muqiao Village". People in this village have built biogas pools and can use biogas for cooking and lighting; there is a health clinic in this village that can provide free medical treatment; there is also a school in this village where both men and women can go to school.

In addition, there are straw paper factories that use straw to make toilet paper for wiping buttocks, farms that hatch eggs and duck eggs for chicken and duck breeding, and canneries that can preserve meat and fruits for a long time. These villages also have them.

Li Qingzhi wrote according to the level of social development in the 1970s and 1980s, but this was enough to amaze the ancients!

Chapter 182 Arrangement

This "A Travel Notes of Alone" is completely different from Li Qingzhi's original idea and even the content he originally wrote.

Considering the issue of space, he deleted all the content he wrote at the beginning, such as when "I" came to modern society, people around him were curious about the origin of "I".

He just used a first-person perspective to see a world that people of this era have never seen or imagined.

In Muqiao Village, the land belongs to the village collective. To be more strict, it belongs to the state.

After a villager is born, both men and women are allocated a certain amount of land that cannot be bought or sold, and this ensures that ordinary people will not be displaced and starve to death due to lack of land.

In addition to farming, the men and women in the village also work in the village's factories. They have no worries about food and clothing and live a prosperous life.

Children in the village can still go to school. Both men and women are literate and can count...

At the beginning, Li Qingzhi wrote about the environment of Muqiao Village in detail, and then wrote about how people in the village farmed, and also mentioned the biogas digester.

Li Qingzhi lived in the apocalypse for twenty years in his previous life, and for many years afterwards, he lived alone.

His only entertainment at that time was reading books, and he had read everything.

For example, for a while, he hid in a village and read some books on planting and breeding in the reading room specially designated by the village committee.

Li Qing had a good memory and remembered a lot. Now he deleted it and then wrote it up.

There are also burning kangs to hatch eggs, and unified breeding of chickens and ducks... By the way, he hasn't had time to write about this yet.

After Governor Zhang opened the manuscript, his attention was attracted by the punctuation on it. When he saw the back...

This is clearly the world of great unity that many of their scholars dream of!

There is also the cultivation and fattening mentioned above... He has some planting experience and feels that the things written on it are practical and practical.

It's just... why did Li Qingzhi write so much?

"Sir, the food is getting cold." Butler Li couldn't help but remind him.

After Juewizhai's dishes were brought, he went to the kitchen to fry two vegetables, put the braised pork at the bottom of the bowl, covered it with hot rice and sent it to his family.

It turns out that the adults in his family are not in a hurry to eat!

Governor Zhang came to his senses and began to eat, but he ate absentmindedly.

Suddenly, Governor Zhang thought of something. He speeded up his meal. After finishing his meal quickly, he said to Butler Li, "I'm going out."

Governor Zhang went to the Shen family.

Shen Zhilan had just finished her meal and learned that Governor Zhang was coming. She hurriedly greeted him and then heard Governor Zhang say: "Shopkeeper Shen, I have a strange book here and I want you to help print it."

"Strange book?" Shen Zhilan was a little surprised. Just when Li Qingzhi's "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" was about to be printed, Governor Zhang sent him another book? Or a strange book?

"Yes, this book was written by an independent individual. It is completely different from previous books." After Governor Zhang finished speaking, he took out the manuscript and showed it to Shen Zhilan.

Shen Zhilan also saw the punctuation mark for the first time: "This sentence is well read and makes the book easy to read!"

Shen Zhilan doesn't like reading. Part of the reason is that the books are densely packed and not easy to read.

As for this book...it's really smooth to read!

And when Shen Zhilan continued to read... he finally understood why Governor Zhang said this was a strange book.

These scholars like this kind of harmonious world!

Also... this is a book written by Qingdu Sanren. After it is printed, many people will definitely be willing to buy it and read it!

Shen Zhilan now

Said: "This book is just like "Escape from Famine". My Shen Family Bookshop can give me ten taels of silver per thousand words!"

"Okay. Manager Shen, I have one more thing to ask of you," Governor Zhang said.

"Sir, please tell me." Shen Zhilan said.

Governor Zhang asked: "When the Shen family printed this book, could they add punctuation?" Punctuation is also a feature of "Lonely Travels". If it could be added during printing...

Governor Zhang actually hopes that all books will have punctuation, so that it will be much easier for people to read.

It is actually not difficult to add punctuation when printing this book. All you need to do is make some "movable type" with "punctuation" engraved on it... Shen Zhilan agreed immediately.

Governor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

On the other side, Chongcheng Primary School.

The students have already eaten. Those who have not taken a shower in the morning continue to take a shower, while those who have already taken a shower are doing laundry.

Li Qingzhi went to the kitchen to take a look and asked the cooks: "Are you busy enough?"

The wife of the housekeeper of the Zhu family who was in charge of the canteen was named Fan. After hearing Li Qingzhi's words, Aunt Fan said cheerfully: "I'm busy."

It must be a bit busy for them to cook for so many people, but because it is a big pot dish, it is a little troublesome to prepare at the beginning. If you cook it... you can just add water and stew it in one pot, which is not troublesome. .

What's more, every student's bowls and chopsticks have been given to them long ago. They bring the bowls and chopsticks to the cafeteria to serve their meals. After eating, they wash the bowls and chopsticks themselves without their help. This is very helpful. They save a lot of things.

"That's good, aunt, you go and have a rest." Li Qing insisted.

These cooks have been busy for a long time, and now they can go and lie down for a while - they will make dinner in the middle of the afternoon.

Aunt Fan agreed with a smile. Li Qingzhi had specially prepared a place for them to rest. She washed her hands and went to rest.

Two of the remaining three cooks also went to rest, and only Miss Jin stayed.

Aunt Jin said earnestly to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, these students don't have to pay to study, how can you let them eat so well? How much does it cost for a day? Isn't the brown rice porridge from years ago very good? "

Today, when I saw that all the students in the school had meat to eat, Aunt Jin felt extremely distressed.

In her opinion, no matter how rich you are, you can't waste it like this!

The most important thing is... her family doesn't even eat so well!

Aunt Jin had a good meal at school today. She had rice porridge and eggs in the morning, and bacon at noon. Li Qingzhi also had someone give the cooks some Jueweizhai braised dried beans. .

But her family has no chance to eat so well!

Thinking that all the students in Li Qing's school can eat meat... Aunt Jin became fiercely jealous.

"Sister-in-law, I only gave them this kind of food for the first meal. They won't be able to eat this well in the future." Li Qing insisted.

What Li Qingzhi said is also true.

This was ancient times, and productivity could not keep up. It was basically impossible for him to feed so many students meat every day.

If you really do that and kill pigs every day, if things go on like this, the people in Chongcheng County won't be able to raise enough pigs to feed them!

And... when everyone's living standards are very poor, giving these students too much food may not necessarily be a good thing.

Li Qingzhi planned to wait until later to cook the pig blood, duck blood, chicken blood, chicken intestines and duck intestines produced by killing chickens, ducks and pigs at Juewei Zhai for these students to eat.

As for eating meat seriously, you only need to eat it a few times during the holidays.

"That's not bad." Aunt Jin felt a little more comfortable and asked Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, can your cousin come to school to study? Also, do you have a shortage of cooks here? Your cousins have a lot of strength... …"

Aunt Jin is trying to bring her son and daughter-in-law to school? Li Qing insisted: "There is no shortage of people in the school for the time being. If there is a shortage someday, I will definitely tell my sister-in-law."

"Okay, okay, if you need someone, you must remember to find your cousins!" Aunt Jin yelled.

Li Qingzhi was a little funny when he heard this.

The next day, elementary school officially started.

From this day on, the students' meals changed to duck blood soup, garlic-fried duck intestines, and the like.

Those students didn't have the slightest objection to this.

Nowadays, every household is not rich. Duck and chicken intestines are considered a good thing by ordinary people, but they are not something they eat on weekdays!

The same goes for duck blood and chicken blood. No matter what, it tastes fishy!

And when Jueweizhai didn't give these to them before, they would always sell them for money!

These students studied hard in the morning and helped with some handiwork or other things in the afternoon... They were all full of energy.

Speaking of which, when school started after the new year, there were more than a dozen students who failed to report. These students were both male and female. After Li Qingzhi got to know them, he found that they all came from relatively good families, so he ignored them.

He couldn't afford too many students. In fact, the existing students in the school would sooner or later be divided out.

But there's no rush. The Chongcheng Primary School run by Li Qing has a two-day break every half month. During the break, students can go home or stay in school.

During this period, students are not allowed to leave the school unless there are special circumstances. This is because Li Qingzhi considers the safety of the students.

In addition, there are many regulations in the school. Li Qingzhi asked the school teachers to read them to these students several times every day to make these students familiar with the school regulations.

Time flies by so quickly, and the Lantern Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

Also on this day, people around Qian Fugui came to Li Qingzhi and said that Qian Fugui had come to Chongcheng County.

The New Pier has developed, and many people have bought land and built houses nearby. Qian Fugui spent money to buy a house from others, and it was there waiting for Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi hurried over and saw Qian Fugui, whom he had not seen for several days.

"Ah Qing!" Qian Fugui laughed when he saw Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi took out a jar of plaster and said, "Uncle, lie down and I'll treat your back again."

The plaster is actually a cover. Li Qingzhi wants to take this opportunity to use his golden fingers to help Qian Fugui cure his illness.

Speaking of which, Qian Fugui's minor back injury has healed, and his inability to have children has also improved.

But Li Qingzhi didn't plan to tell him. According to the memory of the original owner, Qian Fugui's wife, the original owner's aunt, was very kind to the original owner and was a very gentle woman.

Qian Fugui's two concubines who are much younger than him have remarried. It would be bad if Qian Fugui went to find another little girl to have children!

If the Qian family wants a child...thinking about it carefully, he can also help cure Qian Fugui's nephew.

Qian Fugui's nephew is eighteen years old this year, and he is very weak and has not yet gotten married... After he helps to cure him, this young master Qian will be able to marry and have children, and he can have several more, and one of them will be adopted by Qian Fugui.

Qian Fugui didn't want to lie down and talk to Li Qingzhi, but Li Qingzhi had already taken out the medicine jar...

He lay down on the bed and let Li Qingzhi apply medicine on him, while telling Li Qingzhi some of his arrangements.

He would let his wife, siblings, and nephew move to this house. After that, Li Qingzhi could find opportunities to get to know his nephew, and then interact with each other as a matter of course.

"Ah Qing, your cousin is not in good health. I will ask you to take more care of him when the time comes." Qian Fugui said.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of my cousin." Li Qing insisted.

His cousin is said to have studied, and his school happens to be short of people... let his cousin teach!

Chapter 183 Expulsion

Li Qingzhi stayed at Qian Fugui's place for a while, had a meal, and then returned to school.

Today is the Lantern Festival. People in Chongcheng County do not have the habit of celebrating the Lantern Festival, but many businesses on the New Pier side have hung up beautiful lanterns.

It's just that it's cold, so not many people will go out for a walk late at night.

But when the weather gets warmer... the night market at the New Pier should be able to continue.

It was already afternoon when Li Qingzhi returned to school. The female students were doing embroidery work under the leadership of the female workers from Jinye Embroidery Workshop who came here to study. Ten female workers from Jinye Embroidery Workshop came here to study, including Jin Maoer, whom Li Qingzhi was very optimistic about.

Originally, Jin Mao'er's parents were not willing - if Jin Mao'er went to school, she would earn less money, so they might as well continue working at Jinye Embroidery Workshop.

But Li Qingzhi is now a scholar. After he spoke, Jin Maoer's parents could only agree.

Another point is... the female workers of Jinye Embroidery Workshop can also do some work to earn money in school.

In addition, Li Qingzhi asked them to teach the female students in the school to do embroidery work, and also helped manage the girls' dormitory. They would also give them an extra 500 coins a month.

The students recruited by Li Qingzhi were all born in poverty, and many of them had minor problems.

For example, some students don't like to do

They are clean and dirty. Some students snore seriously in the middle of the night. Some students are preoccupied and have conflicts with others all day long...

In modern universities, there will be conflicts if four people live in one dormitory. Now dozens of people sleep in bunk beds in one room... It would be strange if there are no problems!

Some school teachers live on campus and do not go home at night. Li Qingzhi asked these teachers to watch over the boys' dormitory, but it was impossible for the male teachers to watch the girls' dormitory, so they had to rely on the female workers of Jinye Embroidery Workshop to handle it. Various minor conflicts among students.

At this moment Li Qingzhi came to the school, and the female worker from Jinye Embroidery Workshop told him something.

Probably there was a female student who was very talkative. She arranged for others to say bad things about her classmates all day long, and she got into conflicts with her classmates.

"What did she say?" Li Qingzhi asked.

"A female student said a few words to a male student from the same village while eating, and she said that the female student seduced the male student. She said this more than once. She had arranged it with others before, saying that the other student was in class. The girl who asked the teacher questions is trying to hook up with the teacher..."

Li Qingzhi frowned when he heard this: "I'll go down and take a look. Such a student cannot be left behind."

People's words are terrible. Such a student who likes to spread rumors will definitely not be allowed to stay in his school.

This is not compulsory education!

The female students have a small problem here. Most of them are very obedient and do whatever they are told.

In addition, the female workers from Jinye Embroidery House live with them and watch them at night, so there is nothing wrong with them.

It's different here for the male students. Although there is a teacher staying in school to supervise them, the teacher does not live with them...

Among the male students, some have already fought.

And there are also male students who are so talkative and gossipy.

There were even two male students who came together to comment on the female student on the other side, and their words were unsightly...

Li Qingzhi has been observing the students in the school during this time, and has taken note of all these people, planning to wait a few days and let them go back at once.

Speaking of which... among all the students, the one who disappointed Li Qingzhi the most was Liu Daniu.

During the Chinese New Year, some students had nowhere to go, so Li Qingzhi asked them to stay in school for the Chinese New Year.

They were homeless, and Li Qingzhi sympathized with them. In addition, these children ate with them, and it was not good for him to feed these children brown rice and vegetables... At that time, Li Qingzhi arranged for these students The food was very good.

He did this because he wanted to select a few students who were good-natured and not stupid and train them to be his confidants.

For this reason, Li Qingzhi also had more contact with these people.

He has read countless people, and these students are young... He can guess almost exactly what they are thinking by looking at their micro-expressions.

At first Li Qingzhi thought Liu Daniu was good, but later he felt that among all the people, this Liu Daniu was the most ungrateful.

He didn't need these people to be grateful, but Liu Daniu's attitude... it was clear that he disliked him for giving him so little.

Li Qingzhi considered that Liu Daniu's stepfather had kicked Liu Daniu out of the house, so he did not let Liu Daniu leave the school. At most, he kicked Liu Daniu off the key training list.

As a result... Liu Daniu's resentment has become worse these days?

If Liu Daniu was dissatisfied with his school, then why did he "force" Liu Daniu to stay in the school?

Liu Daniu looked like someone owed him something. His sister was quite nice, but with such a brother... Li Qingzhi would think more about it.

Among those orphans, Li Qingzhi's favorites were Zhang Zao and Ah Yue. Ah Yue was a girl and was given to Jin Xiaoye. As for Zhang Zao... he planned to accept Zhang Zao as a formal student and keep him around to do things in the future.

The girls were doing embroidery, while the boys were taken to cultivate the area not far from here where Li Qingzhi used to grow peppers.

Last year, the peppers were planted when the weather was hot. Although they finally grew, the planting process was very troublesome. This time, Li Qingzhi plans to plant the peppers when the weather is cooler.

By the way, you can also do some research to see when is the best time to plant peppers.

The students were all busy, and the cooks were also busy in the kitchen. When Miss Jin saw Li Qingzhi, she came over again and said, "Ah Qing, chicken intestines, duck intestines, pig blood, etc., it's such a waste to give them to the students, what are you still doing?" Why don't you give it to me and I'll take it to Miaoqian Village and distribute it to your relatives..."

Li Qingzhi: "..." When it comes to sharing it with relatives, Aunt Jin wants it, right?

Li Qingzhi disagreed, so Aunt Jin asked her son and daughter-in-law to work in the school.

However, there is no shortage of people in the school now, so Li Qingzhi refused again.

"They are all relatives..." Aunt Jin muttered.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to talk about relatives, how many people are there in the Jin family? Xiaoye also has an eldest sister...Sister-in-law, it's not good if I only take care of you and not the eldest aunt, otherwise the cook will be fucked by the eldest aunt?"

"Ah Qing, you are really good at joking. Your aunt has to take care of her grandson at home, so she has no time..." Aunt Jin ran away in a flash. She worked as a cook in the school. She ate well every day and brought some home... She I don't want to lose this job.

Li Qingzhi smiled and went home. The next day, Li Qingzhi went to see Qian Fugui again and treated Qian Fugui again, but he did not stay for dinner that day - Qian Fugui left Chongcheng County at noon.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Li Qingzhi called some students out, talked to them, and asked them to pack their things and leave.

There were more than twenty of these people in total. Some of them stole other people's things, some gossiped about others, and some tried to form gangs to bully others. Of course, Liu Daniu was among them.

If Li Qingzhi had asked them to leave years ago, they would have been willing, but now...

Everything here was a bit fishy, and they were reluctant to leave.

They can't eat so well at home!

As for work, rural children of this age also have to do a lot of work at home.

The girl who spread rumors about the female classmates around her all day immediately cried and said she didn't want to leave and that she would never dare to leave again, and so did the boys.

Li Qing insisted: "You pack your things and leave now. I won't say anything to the outside world. If you don't leave, I will tell you the reason why you left the school."

These children are still young. Although he plans to expel them, he does not intend to speak ill of them to others.

But if they make trouble, the situation will be different.

When the girl who had been crying heard Li Qingzhi's words, she didn't dare to cry anymore and left in a hurry.

Everyone else followed and left.

Liu Daniu was the only one who was dissatisfied: "Sir, I have always been obedient and have never made any mistakes!"

Liu Daniu did not violate school discipline, nor did he do anything wrong. At most, he said a few sour words in private, complaining that the food was not good and there was too much work.

Li Qingzhi looked into Liu Daniu's eyes and said: "Since you think my place is not good and you think you should not be allowed to do so much work, just leave." Liu Daniu is not young anymore, he is fourteen years old. In Daqi, this There are countless boys at this age who are living alone.

Liu Daniu froze.

He was indeed dissatisfied with Li Qingzhi, especially since the start of school this year. Except for the first day, their food has not been very good. They only eat chicken and duck intestines and blood every day, which is not much.

The emperor even had hungry soldiers, so why didn't Li Qingzhi let them eat better?

But now Li Qing insists on letting him go!

He doesn't want to leave. How can he have such a good life if he leaves here?

But Li Qingzhi's gaze seemed to see through him... Liu Daniu finally packed up and left.

After Liu Daniu and the others left, the school atmosphere improved a lot, and some students who originally didn't like to be disciplined became obedient.

Life at school is so good for them that they don't want to leave!

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and it was the end of the first month.

It was at this time that Qian's family moved into the house bought by Qian Fugui.

They changed their name and told the public that it was

The family members of the foot merchants settled down at the new wharf in Chongcheng County.

At the same time... "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" written by Li Qing was published.

The Shen family's efficiency is really high. Not long after it passed, they printed two thousand sets of books and started selling them in the provincial capital.

"This is a book written by Li Qing, a scholar from the Little Three Yuan School. It is specifically for his children. You must buy a copy and read it to your children. After reading it, your children may also be able to pass the Little Three Yuan exam!"

"Buy a copy and read it, and you will know how Li Zixiao teaches his children!"

""Collection of Children's Interesting Stories", there are many stories in one book, it is very beautiful, don't miss it if you pass by!"

"Li Qing holds a new book..."

Many bookstores in Jiang'an Province have begun selling new books printed by Shen Family Bookstore and written by Li Qing.

After the readers in Jiang'an Province heard the bookstore clerk's introduction to the book, they couldn't help but read it curiously, and at this glance... the stories in this book are indeed very interesting and quite reasonable. Is it really good to buy it and show it to my children?

They all want to see it themselves!

Chapter 184 "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories"

Jiang'an Province is extremely wealthy, and many wealthy people gather in the provincial capital.

Here, there are a huge number of scholars.

At this time last year, people in the provincial capital did not know Li Qingzhi as a person. However, since Li Qingzhi's article was published in Anjiang Collected Works before the college examination, Li Qingzhi's reputation in the provincial capital has become bigger and bigger. .

Not to mention that he has been convicted of three cases in a row, there are still articles written by him in the "Collected Works of Anjiang" in the past few months!

Scholars in the provincial capital have recognized Li Qingzhi's knowledge!

In addition... Li Qingzhi's previous book, with the protagonists Gou Tongzhi and Governor Zhang, also spread to the provincial capital.

Some readers like it very much after reading it, but these books are essentially leisure books, so everyone will read them and not publicize them.

And now...Li Qing has written a new book?

Or did he write it for his children to read and educate their children?

Scholars these days value their own knowledge as well as their children's education.

Who doesn't want to have a son like Li Qingzhi?

So... you must read the book written by Li Qing.

Maybe it contains his method of raising children!

And this time...these stories are really good!

"The stories in this "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" all have some truth to them!"

"These stories are really suitable for children!"

"I want to buy a set!"

"I want to buy a set too!"

This book is not particularly expensive at the Shen Family Bookstore, so forget it, there are actually illustrations in it!

The children at home must like it, and everyone spends money to buy it, planning to take it back to show to their children.

Of course, before that, they'll have to read it themselves!

There is very little entertainment in this era. This collection of stories written by Li Qing is also popular for adults.

After Governor Zhang received the gift book from the Shen family, he would read it in his free time as entertainment. Butler Li knew a few words, and even he liked the book very much. After reading "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush" in it, he even wanted to learn to draw...

As for the kids who got the books…

They rarely read storybooks on weekdays. The husband told them allusions such as "Meng Mu moved three times", and they all listened with gusto. Now a storybook has come out...

These people liked him very much and remembered the person "Li Qingzhi".

The Shen Family Bookstore printed many books. In addition to selling them in the provincial capital, they also sold some of them to other places. This book was also sold in Hexing Prefecture and Chongcheng County.

The books written by Li Qingzhi have long been circulated in Hexing Mansion!

Not only those scholars who recommended each other have basically read it, but even ordinary people have heard that Mr. Shu said it.

Now that the "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" has come out... all the literate people have gone to buy the book. As for the common people... they let the storytellers tell them.

"The books written by Li Xiucai must be good to listen to."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that this book is for children."

"Can adults not listen to stories for children?"

The stories for children can certainly be heard by adults as well. Some storytellers bought the books and started telling them the stories on the same day.

They did not read the book, but told it vividly after reading the book...

Ordinary people in Fucheng were almost immediately attracted by stories like "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen".

If Fucheng is like this, Chongcheng County will be the same!

At the new wharf, more and more ships are coming to dock, and there are more shops.

The business of the restaurant opened by the Zhu family was not very good at first, but now the business is getting better and better...

Qian Changsheng walked forward slowly, step by step, and cautiously entered the restaurant.

As soon as he entered, he heard someone talking about how delicious the spicy duck from Juewei Zhai was: "Although the spicy duck from Juewei Zhai is expensive, it tastes extremely delicious. It is the best duck I have ever eaten in my life." !"

Another person said: "As far as I know, this spicy duck is not delicious... You are too stupid to spend a lot of money to buy it!"

"You... you are saying sour grapes when you can't eat them! Yes, that's what Li Xiucai wrote in his book, saying sour grapes when you can't eat them!"

The two started arguing, but when the storyteller tapped the copper plate in front of him with his chopsticks, everyone calmed down and continued to listen to the storyteller.

The storyteller said: "Just now I talked about "Sour Grapes", now let's talk about "Crows Drinking Water"..."

Everyone sounded serious.

Qian Changsheng found a seat and sat down slowly, and began to listen to Mr. Shu's storytelling.

His movements were always very slow, because if he was a little anxious and walked faster, his heart would "thump, thump, thump," as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

According to what the doctor said, there is something wrong with his heart. He cannot work hard and can only take good care of it.

But even if he is well taken care of, he may not live long.

He stayed at home most of the time, and his family didn't even dare to let him go out.

He feels that living is meaningless, but if he is gone, his parents will not be able to bear it...

So, he wants to live.

But now, he can go out!

Not long ago, Qian Changsheng felt relieved when he learned that his cousin was still alive.

He is the only junior member of the Qian family, but he is not in good health... He is under a lot of pressure.

Now he has a healthy cousin... That's really great. He doesn't have to worry about his parents being too sad after his death!

After his aunt took him and his mother away from home, they encountered "bandits" arranged by his uncle and used this to fake their own deaths...

During that time, he experienced some things he had never experienced before.

He found it very interesting!

His aunt and mother were worried that he would be frightened and get into trouble, but he didn't feel scared, but rather excited.

He liked this experience, it made him feel that... his life was not in vain.

And now, he would meet his cousin by chance in this restaurant...

Qian Changsheng was very curious about his cousin.

When he was a child, he had met his cousin, but he no longer remembered what his cousin looked like.

But recently, he heard a lot about his cousin, and he also watched "Children's Interesting Stories".

This book is really interesting, and his cousin is really a great person.

Qian Changsheng had already read the book, but he still listened to Mr. Shu's stories with great interest.

Li Qingzhi came at this time, and as soon as he came, he noticed Qian Changsheng.

Qian Changsheng looked a bit like Qian Fugui, and the sick look on his face made him recognize him immediately.

He knew that Qian Changsheng was in poor health, but now that he saw someone... did this child have a bad heart?

When Li Qingzhi walked into the restaurant, someone immediately recognized him: "Li Xiucai is here!"

"It's Li Xiucai!"

"Li Xiucai, the stories you wrote are so nice!"

The people in the restaurant looked at Li Qingzhi excitedly.

Li Qingzhi smiled and talked to them, found an empty table to sit down, and ordered a few dishes.

As soon as he sat down, Qian Changsheng came over and said, "Mr. Li, I have long admired your name!"

The two pretended not to know each other before and started chatting.

When people around saw it, they didn't think it was strange.

Scholars, it is common for people to become more and more interested in each other after meeting and chatting!

While chatting, Li Qingzhi invited Qian Changsheng to visit his Chongcheng Primary School.

Qian Changsheng readily agreed.

The two of them left the restaurant together.

Distance to Chongcheng Primary School

The new pier is very close, just walk there, and Li Qingzhi walked.

But Qian Changsheng couldn't walk, but he had a small sedan that could be carried by people around him.

The servants of the Qian family carried Qian Changsheng forward. On the way, Li Qingzhi introduced some plants around him to Qian Changsheng.

Qian Changsheng listened carefully and marveled from time to time.

What Li Qingzhi introduced to him were all common plants, many of which he had read about in books, but he had never seen what those plants looked like with his own eyes, and he had only seen them now.

This world is really too beautiful.

And his cousin is also a very gentle person, which he likes very much.

Qian Changsheng was in poor health. After Li Qingzhi brought him to school, he only had the bearers to carry him around the school.

It was morning, and the students were reading. The sound of reading came from the classroom... Qian Changsheng watched eagerly.

Li Qingzhi didn't have much contact with Qian Changsheng, but he had some understanding of the child.

Qian Changsheng was in poor health, and his family wouldn't let him go out, so he was curious about everything he saw.

But he has read a lot of books.

The Qian family asked their husband to teach him how to read. After that, he did not read books related to the imperial examination, but he read a lot of miscellaneous books, and he understood a little bit about everything.

In addition... he has read the "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" and the books about Gou Tongzhi and Governor Zhang, but he has never read the books written by Qingdu Sanren.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it, it's that the Qian family feels that books like "Redress of Injustice" and "Escape from Famine" are too miserable, and they are afraid that he will feel uncomfortable and hurt his body after reading them, so they don't dare to read them to him. Li Qingzhi didn't dare to show it to him.

His cousin's body is really not that good!

Qian Fugui is very handsome, but Qian Changsheng is more outstanding than others, and is even more outstanding than Qian Fugui in terms of appearance.

Li Qingzhi has been in ancient times for so long, and Qian Changsheng is definitely the most outstanding-looking man he has ever seen.

But he looked sick, his lips were purple, and he looked so lifeless that no one around him noticed his appearance.

"Chang Sheng, it's getting late, why don't you go to my house for dinner?" Li Qingzhi suggested.

"Sorry for bothering Brother Li!" Qian Changsheng said, feeling a little excited.

He has had no friends since he was a child. Although the encounter with Li Qingzhi was planned, he still felt like he had made friends.

Li Qingzhi brought Qian Changsheng to his home. Chang Zhan had already prepared lunch and was about to send some of the dishes to the school teacher.

Knowing that Li Qingzhi was going to eat at home, he left a little of each dish, enough for Li Qingzhi and Qian Changsheng to eat. As for the servants of the Qian family... go to the school cafeteria to get some rice and give it to them. Some Jueweizhai braised food will do the trick.

When Li Laogen was cooking with Chang Zhan, he asked Chang Zhan to share some of the food with him. He had finished eating and was hiding now.

Qian Changsheng looked like a noble man and he didn't dare to touch him.

When Li Qingzhi was having dinner with Qian Changsheng, he proposed to check Qian Changsheng's pulse.

Qian Changsheng did not refuse and stretched out his arm.

The energy in Li Qingzhi's body entered Qian Changsheng's body... Qian Changsheng did have a heart problem. He should have been in his mother's body and his heart was not fully developed.

It will take a lot of time to repair his heart, so take your time.

Anyway, as long as Qian Changsheng is by his side, he doesn't have to worry about his life.

Li Qingzhi used all the energy in his body on Qian Changsheng, and invited Qian Changsheng to eat.

Chapter 185 "Traveling Alone"

Li Qingzhi's appetite is as good as ever.

He stayed at home for dinner today, and there were guests... Chang Zhan not only brought back some rice from school, but also specially fried some egg pancakes.

Then... Li Qingzhi ate two large bowls of rice and a plate full of egg pancakes.

Qian Changsheng was in poor health and had a bad appetite. He couldn't eat much in the day before, but today, I don't know if it was because Li Qingzhi ate so deliciously that he had a big appetite... He ate his usual meal. Amount of two meals.

Li Qingzhi still felt that he had eaten less: "Changsheng, you should eat more. Eat more meat to be healthy."

He helped Qian Changsheng repair his body, mainly relying on his golden fingers, but he also needed Qian Changsheng's own adequate supply of nutrients.

Qian Changsheng said: "The doctor asked me to eat something lighter."

"It doesn't mean that you are not allowed to eat meat if you eat something lighter. You can eat more chicken, duck, fish, etc." Li Qing insisted.

In this era, there is no harm in eating the purely natural and pollution-free chicken and duck.

"Okay." Qian Changsheng smiled. He had no appetite for anything before, but now... he does want to eat meat.

He thought Jueweizhai's braised meat was very delicious. After dinner, Qian Changsheng left.

After Qian Changsheng left, Li Qingzhi started writing a book.

Governor Zhang eagerly awaits his "Lonely Travels" every day!

But he has been really busy recently, so he doesn't write much. In one day, he writes at most three to four thousand words.

This is also because this book is difficult to write.

Books like "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" were written casually when he took the time to write them. It was very relaxing, but "Travel Notes of Solitude" was different.

He didn't dare to write this book randomly. When writing, he carefully considered every detail.

While Li Qing was writing the book, Qian Changsheng returned home in a sedan chair.

Qian Changsheng's famous name was Qian Yi, but he was in poor health, so his family called him "Changsheng".

Qian Fugui's wife, the eldest lady of the Qian family, is a slightly plump woman with a round face.

Her family is also a businessman, but not as good as the Qian family. When she was young, she fell in love with Qian Fugui's face, and after working hard, she married Qian Fugui.

She was depressed for a few years because of her childlessness, but most of the time, she was satisfied with her life.

After she got married, her mother's brothers lost money in business, and the family's life was difficult. It was the Qian family's help that helped ease the situation. Besides... Qian's family is small, and it's not like her natal family, which is a mess.

You know, after her father became rich, he took in six concubines and some unknown women. Her brothers and sisters totaled more than 20!

The most important thing is... Qian Fugui is already fifty, but he still looks handsome!

Over the years, Qian Fugui has always been kind to her. The Qian family feels guilty for her, and everyone respects her... She is in charge of all the things inside and outside the Qian family, and she is confident no matter what she does. .

Mrs. Qian Er is a sharp-faced woman. She was thin and frail when she was young, but now she is chubby.

In terms of weight, she is a little heavier than Mrs. Qian, but because of her sharp face, people around her think she is thinner than Mrs. Qian.

Her natal family is very ordinary. Her father is a poor scholar who didn't even pass the exam. She was able to marry Mr. Qian only because of her good looks.

Both of them attached great importance to Qian Changsheng and regarded Qian Changsheng as an eyeball.

Who made the Qian family have no heirs? Mr. Qian also took a concubine, but he also never gave birth to a child. Later, like Qian Fugui, he married off his concubine with a dowry.

Qian Changsheng went out today, and the two of them were worried at home. When they learned that Qian Changsheng was back, they went to greet him together: "Changsheng, how are you doing today?"

Qian Changsheng smiled and told what happened today.

The two of them thought about Li Qingzhi again: "We must go to see Azhi someday."

"In the blink of an eye, this kid has grown so big!"

"I watched her grow up..."

"Mom, aunt, I still want to go to school tomorrow." Qian Changsheng said.

"Changsheng, your body..." The two of them were worried.

Qian Changsheng said: "I went out today and I didn't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, I felt much lighter and my appetite was better!"

"Yes, the young master has eaten a lot today." The boy next to Qian Changsheng said, telling him everything Qian Changsheng had eaten for lunch today.

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian were very surprised, and immediately agreed to let Qian Changsheng go to Li Qingzhi tomorrow.

At the same time, Chongcheng Primary School. Li Qingzhi placed twenty sets of "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" sent by Shen Family Bookstore in an empty dormitory, and also hung a "Reading Room" sign outside the dormitory.

The students in his school cannot read these books for the time being, but they will be able to read them one day.

He can collect some books and put them away for people who want to read them.

Speaking of which, there is actually more than one "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories". Li Qingzhi wrote almost 100,000 words in this book, and Shen Family Bookshop added some illustrations and divided it into three books for printing.

The characters at this time are generally larger, and the number of words in a book cannot be too many. Too many books will be very thick, not to mention the trouble of binding, which is not conducive to reading.

provincial capital.

Governor Zhang sent someone to send the newly received manuscript of "Lonely Travels" to the Shen family.

He wanted Shenjia Bookshop to print the book quickly.

Shen Zhilan had the same idea. In fact, he had already started printing the book!

He plans to print out the first volume first when he has collected 50,000 words. As for the following... he will print them slowly after Qingdu Sanren has finished writing them! And 50,000 words...are almost complete!

"The chicken and duck breeding written in this book makes a lot of sense!" Mrs. Shen flipped through "The Travels of Qingdu", "Qingdu San people know so much. Not only do they know about farming, they even know about chicken and duck breeding!"

"Yes!" Shen Zhilan sighed. When he first read the book, he thought it must be made up. As a result... he asked people who knew how to farm to ask, and those people actually thought that the book was made up by Lingdu Sanren. The farming method is very good!

There is also chicken and duck breeding...it seems that we can also try this?

Shen Zhilan felt that when this book was sold, someone would definitely follow what was written in it and try to farm and raise chickens and ducks.

Especially raising chickens

duck!

Juewei Zhai's business is so good that people from the provincial capital go all the way to Chongcheng County to sell their chickens and ducks to Juewei Zhai... This year, the prices of chickens and ducks in the provincial capital have increased. .

Nowadays, many people want to raise more chickens and ducks!

After Mrs. Shen read the manuscript, Shen Zhilan immediately sent it to the printing workshop, and at the printing workshop... After they got the manuscript from Shen Zhilan, they said: "Shopkeeper, this book has a lot of words. , the content we print now can already be bound into a book..."

Shen Zhilan looked at it and found that because of the added punctuation, the paper they printed could now be bound into a very thick book!

"Then start binding. When the binding is completed in two days, we will start selling the book!" Shen Zhilan said immediately.

He felt that this book "Traveling Alone" would sell well!

His bookshop was the first to use such a punctuation mark, and his bookshop might be able to become famous through this!

In the Shen Family Bookstore, a group of workers were busy.

They are in a good mood.

In the past, the Shen family bookstore did not have so many workers. Many of them were specially recruited when the Shen family was printing "Escape from Famine" due to lack of manpower.

After printing "Escape from Famine", they had been worried that they would be fired by the Shen family because they had nothing to do. As a result, the Shen family had another "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" for them to print, and now Lingdu Sanren has also written a new book.

They hope that Shenjia Bookstore will always have work for them to do!

These people got busy, and in just two days, they bound three thousand volumes of "The Travels of Solitude".

There is no need to send the book to the capital this time, so the Shen Family Bookstore only printed three thousand copies of this book.

But if it's not enough to sell... they can reprint it.

When Shen Zhilan learned about this, she immediately asked Shenjia Bookshop to start selling the book.

During this time, scholars in the provincial capital were actually discussing "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories".

This book is written in a simple way, but the story is very interesting, suitable for children, and it also makes sense...

When scholars gather together, they must say: "This book by Li Zixiao is really good!"

"I heard that he wrote it specifically for his children? There is a provincial examination this year. He doesn't care about studying, so why did he write this book?"

"He has a photographic memory and is very knowledgeable, unlike us who have to study hard day and night!"

"This book is really good. My children like it very much."

"My kids like it too."

Li Qingzhi was already well-known, but now he is even more famous. All the children in Jiang'an Province already know this person.

Some scholars lamented when talking about this: "My child thinks that I am not as good as Li Zixiao because I can't write such a story!"

"Brother Zhang, we are both from the end of the world!"

"My child always sleeps with this book in his arms!"

While these scholars were chatting, a young man came in from outside: "Everyone, I have heard some big news!"

"What news?" Everyone was very curious.

The person who came in said: "I heard that the Shen Family Bookstore has printed a new book by Qingdu Sanren, and it will start selling it tomorrow!"

"Is this happening?" These people were surprised and happy.

Although the books written by Qingdu Sanren are different, because they always cause big troubles... everyone feels that the books he wrote are very profound.

Now he has a new book, they must check it out!

But... did Li Qingzhi have a conflict with the Ling Du San people? As soon as he wrote a new book, Qingdu Sanren also wrote it.

When the new book of Qingdu Sanren comes out, everyone will pay more attention to the book of Qingdu Sanren and forget about the story book written by Li Qing.

Chapter 186 Buying Books

Speaking of Qingdusan people, most people will never mention "Records of Escape from Famine" and "Strategies for Flood Control".

"There is news from the capital that Mr. Li Zhaoli has been overturned!"

"The emperor sent people to Yu County to investigate. The people in Yu County said that Mr. Li is a good official."

"It's a pity Mr. Li. He devoted himself to serving the people, but he ended up having his entire family executed!"

"Speaking of this..."Water Control Strategies" is really a good book!"

"I don't know what Qingdu Sanren will write in his new book."

"He must be complaining about the injustice of the people again!"

Everyone talked and agreed to go shopping for books together the next day.

Li Qingzhi's books can be used as entertainment after being bought, but Lingdu Sanren's books need to be studied carefully after being bought.

In the blink of an eye, it's the next day.

Before dawn that day, some scholars in the provincial capital left their homes and went to the bookstore owned by the Shen family.

On the way, they also met some acquaintances: "Brother Li, why did you come out so early?"

"Brother Zhang, didn't you come out so early?"

"I'm anxious to read Qingdu Sanren's new book..."

"Me too."

These scholars gathered in front of the bookstore and formed a long queue.

Finally, Shen's Bookstore is open!

Everyone rushed forward: "I heard that Qingdu Sanren wrote a new book?"

"Shopkeeper, give me two copies!"

"I want three copies!"

"I want one too!"

... These people spoke one after another, eager to buy books.

And the shopkeeper of the bookstore has already brought out a stack of books: ""Lonely Travels", one tael of silver each!"

People who came to buy books were prepared that the books of Lingdu Sanren were relatively expensive, and they brought enough money. They could accept one tael of silver per book.

But now... this is a travelogue?

If it were just a travelogue...

At the front of the queue, the scholar who initially said he wanted to buy two books hesitated for a moment, then took out a small ingot of silver and said, "I'll buy one."

The shopkeeper of the bookstore saw the quality of the silver he gave him, and asked the accountant next to him to weigh it, and immediately gave the man a copy of "Travels of Solitude".

It was the next person's turn to buy a book. After thinking about it, this person also said, "I want one too."

We have already queued up early in the morning, and we still need to buy books, but if they are just travel notes, there is no need to buy a few more.

He originally wanted to buy two copies for his friend, but now... after he has read it, he will lend the book to his friend.

Qingdu Sanren's travel notes... Qingdu Sanren is well-informed and I hope his travel notes will not disappoint them.

It was already dawn. The two people who bought the book first came outside the bookstore and opened the book immediately...

Immediately, the two of them froze together.

This book...this book...

This book is different!

This book actually comes with its own sentences to read, and judging from the words written at the beginning of the book... is this "punctuation" that Lingdu San people learned from elsewhere?

The two of them continued to look down, and then...

This is not at all a travelogue about the great mountains and rivers of the motherland as they imagined, this is clearly "The Peach Blossom Spring"!

"Peach Blossom Spring" has made countless people yearn for it, and this book... The book describes the world in extremely detail, as if there really is such a world in this world.

The two of them regretted it after just a little bit of reading.

They should buy more copies!

Although this book can be copied, the "punctuation" is extremely special...the copying is always not as good as the printing!

And such a book can be kept at home!

The two looked at each other and lined up at the back of the line without hesitation.

They can read and queue up to buy a few more books at the same time!

People queuing up to buy books already know that Qingdu Sanren's new book is a travelogue: "Qingdusanren's new book is actually a travelogue?"

"How could it be a travelogue? I thought it would be a book like "Record of Injustice" and "Record of Escape"!"

"I originally wanted to buy a few more books, but if it's a travelogue, just buy one."

As they were talking, they saw that the two people who bought the book at the beginning were at the end of the queue.

This is wrong. If this book is just a travelogue, why should it be like this!

This travelogue written by a lonely individual must be unique!

Those who had their turn to buy books spoke again: "I want two copies!"

"I want three copies!"

And they bought the book and opened it...

"This punctuation is really good!"

"This is... "Peach Blossom Spring"?"

"My husband will definitely like this book!"

In this world, there are many scholars who are dedicated to studying and have no knowledge of farming.

But there are also many scholars who can read agricultural books and understand the lives of ordinary people.

After all, they were elected officials just to benefit the people!

And now this book...the farming method written in it seems to be quite reasonable?

Some scholars who bought the book gathered together and began to discuss: "What is written in this book does not seem to be whimsical!"

"The breeding method mentioned in it seems feasible?"

"Is there really methane that can burn in this world?"

"Land is collectively owned and cannot be bought or sold... What a great idea! This will prevent people from having no land to farm!"

"The previous "Collected Works of Qingdu" written by Qingdu San people has sharp words and points out many problems in Daqi, but this book... many problems that exist in Daqi do not exist in the world in this book!"

Everyone was talking about it.

After the year, Qian Fugui spent most of his time in the provincial capital.

He came to Jiang'an Province to help Prince Yan take over Prince Jin's business in Jiang'an Province. For this purpose, he specially transferred a lot of silver from Yulong Commercial Bank.

As it turns out, just as he was about to go on a big spree, something "happened" to his family! When his wife, sister-in-law and nephew went out to see a doctor, they were robbed by someone and they all lost their lives.

Qian Fugui fell ill out of anger and had been lying down for several days. He also arranged for a large group of people to go investigate the situation.

Of course, this was what he said to the outside world, and it was also the news he asked Prince Yan to place around him to pass on to Prince Yan.

In fact... Qian Fugui used this matter to contact many confidants and had already started to take action against Yulon Trading Company.

He also secretly left the provincial capital from time to time and went to Chongcheng County.

At first he went to see Li Qingzhi, and later he went not only to see Li Qingzhi, but also to see his wife and nephew.

The house he bought in Chongcheng County is located by the river near the new dock, and the river water is also introduced into the house! He can even enter the house directly on a boat equipped with a shed!

He can pass quietly and leave quietly.

But today, Qian Fugui stayed in the provincial capital. He already knew the news about the new book sales of Qingdu Sanren.

Qing Dusanren was actually his nephew... Qian Fugui asked his confidants to line up early and buy him five books.

I don't know what other books his nephew has written.

The "Collection of Children's Interesting Stories" he wrote some time ago was really quite childish, and he liked to read it when he had nothing to do.

Qian Fugui thought so and opened the book...

Is there such a world in this world? !

Qian Fugui's attention was attracted and he read it carefully. The more he read, the more he felt that the book was well written!

I didn't expect that his nephew was also good at farming!

Qian Fugui was reading, and so was Governor Zhang.

Opposite him, Fang Shanchang sat.

Fang Shanchang has always been pursuing the world of great harmony in his heart, and the book "Quandu Sanren" has simply written into his heart!

"Master Zhang, who is this lonely man?" Chief Fang Shan couldn't help but ask.

Governor Zhang said nothing.

Chief Fang Shan said again: "This man not only knows how to control water, but also cultivates mulberry trees... You should persuade him to become an official. This is something that will benefit the country and the people!"

Governor Zhang glanced at Fang Shanchang, but still said nothing.

Li Qing was determined to become an official and did not need his persuasion.

As for this book... He also felt that Li Qingzhi knew a lot of things.

According to Li Qingzhi, many of these things were taught by a laborer in the quarry when he was working as a laborer in King Jin's quarry.

That man was very knowledgeable, but unfortunately he was kidnapped and taken to a quarry, where he eventually died!

Among the bones they collected back then, there was this person!

This is such a pity!

Such a person was actually killed by King Jin!

Governor Zhang sighed and was thankful that Li Qingzhi had a photographic memory and kept everything the man had learned in his heart.

Countless people in the provincial capital are discussing "Lonely Travels", but in Chongcheng County, no one has mentioned this book yet.

People in Chongcheng County don't know that Qingdu San people have written a new book!

On this day, Qian Changsheng came to see Li Qingzhi as usual.

Ever since he came to Chongcheng County and talked to Li Qingzhi every day, Qian Changsheng felt that his health was much better.

He once suspected that this was his illusion and was afraid that he would become seriously ill after being excited.

In the past, he had felt that his health was better, but after walking a few steps, his vision went dark, and he lingered on the hospital bed for a long time.

But this time, he never got sick.

Qian Changsheng realized that his health had really improved.

If nothing else, his appetite has been a bit too good lately!

When Qian Changsheng came here for the first time, Li Qingzhi stayed with Qian Changsheng, but then Qian Changsheng came again... He took Qian Changsheng with him and worked on his work together.

For example, writing teaching aids, such as moving a stool to the back of the classroom to listen to the class when the teacher is in class...

Li Qingzhi has a photographic memory and has memorized all the students in the school. During this time, he also got to know a little more about the students in the school.

Even though he has expelled some people, there are still some students with questionable character in this school.

In addition...there are some students who are naturally not good at learning and struggle to study.

Li Qingzhi planned to observe those students with character problems and persuade them to leave if their nature was difficult to change. As for those students who were not good at studying and could not keep up with the progress of their studies, he planned to arrange other jobs for them.

For example, go to Juewei Zhai to help kill chickens and ducks, or help plant peppers.

He will give wages here, which is also a good place for these students.

As for those who are smart and studious...Juewei Zhai and Jinye Embroidery Workshop need manpower, as does Qian Fugui.

We still need to select a few people to serve as Chang Zhan's assistants...

When Li Qingzhi was busy, Qian Changsheng looked envious.

Some people are very busy, so they think how great it would be if they could do nothing every day!

But there are also some people who are very free and want to find something to do.

Qian Changsheng stayed at home every day and was extremely idle... He always wanted to do something.

Li Qingzhi gave him some work and asked him to help.

For example, let him help calculate the school cafeteria expenses.

Although Qian Changsheng was born a merchant, he had never learned to settle accounts before.

Li Qingzhi was worried at first that he was not good at calculating, but in the end... he got started quickly!

As long as you train him well, Qian Changsheng will be a good assistant!

After a busy morning, Li Qingzhi said to Qian Changsheng: "Changsheng, go have a meal and drink medicine by the way."

Qian Fugui was not around, so instead of giving Qian Fugui medicine, he gave Qian Changsheng medicine every day.

Chapter 187 Pretty Boy

If Qian Changsheng's health improved inexplicably, it would easily arouse suspicion, so Li Qingzhi said that he had some medical skills and wanted to help Qian Changsheng cure his illness.

He has no experience. If it were anyone else, he would definitely not dare to treat him casually, let alone take the medicine he gave casually.

But Qian's family had great trust in him, and Qian Changsheng's body... The doctors who treated Qian Changsheng in the past said that Qian Changsheng was born with deficiencies and would not live to see his death.

The Qian family had long been prepared that Qian Changsheng would die young. Li Qingzhi wanted to treat Qian Changsheng, so let's treat him.

Therefore, Qian Changsheng would obediently drink the soup Li Qingzhi prepared for him after eating at noon in the past few days.

And this medicine... Li Qingzhi said it was a secret recipe, but it was actually some medicine that nourished the body and was not harmful to the body when taken.

In order to prevent Qian Changsheng from eating something wrong, Li Qingzhi also threw some non-toxic weeds in, so the taste was a bit strange.

After Qian Changsheng had eaten, he drank the medicine without changing his expression.

Li Qingzhi saw that he drank the medicine, so he stretched out his hand: "Come, let me feel your pulse."

Qian Changsheng stretched out his hand obediently.

Li Qingzhi took this opportunity to help him treat his heart.

Qian Changsheng only felt that after drinking the medicine, there was a warm current in his chest that would not dissipate...could his body really be cured?

Qian Changsheng was full of expectations. At this time, Jin Xiaoye came in from outside.

Li Qingzhi has known Qian Changsheng for a few days, but Jin Xiaoye has not met Qian Changsheng yet.

During the day, she was basically busy working at Jinye Embroidery Workshop, and she had no contact with Qian Changsheng.

Today, she actually came back specially. She planned to meet Qian Changsheng and get to know each other. She would also find an opportunity to get to know Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian in the future.

Jin Xiaoye was stunned when he saw Qian Changsheng.

She heard Li Qingzhi talk about Qian Changsheng and knew that Qian Changsheng was in poor health, but she didn't know that Qian Changsheng was so handsome!

This man is definitely the most handsome man she has ever seen!

Li Qingzhi was about to introduce Qian Changsheng to Jin Xiaoye when he noticed Jin Xiaoye's gaze and suddenly became alert.

Wait, this cousin of his... seems a little too handsome?

Although Qian Changsheng still has a sick look on his face, he is probably feeling happy these days and his spirits are better, which makes his appearance stand out.

Fortunately, Jin Xiaoye came to his senses quickly and asked Li Qingzhi with a smile: "Aqing, is this your friend?"

"Yes, this is Brother Qian Changsheng." Li Qingzhi introduced with a smile.

"Hello, little brother Qian." Jin Xiaoye took the initiative to greet Qian Changsheng and talked to Qian Changsheng warmly.

This is Li Qingzhi's relative!

And... no matter who he is, he would want to take a few more looks at such a handsome child.

Jin Xiaoye has always liked those who are good-looking. When she first met Fang Jinniang, she felt that such a beauty was particularly eye-catching when she was around her.

Now, she felt that Qian Changsheng was pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Qian Changsheng was thin and frail, she gave it to Li Qingzhi to wear, but Li Qingzhi took out the hat that Li Qingzhi had never worn and gave it to Qian Changsheng.

Qian Changsheng has not been exposed to the sun all year round, and his skin is snow-white. His face is shaped like his mother's, and he looks very young... When he wears this hat, his face looks even smaller.

Jin Xiaoye said to Li Qing: "Immortal is so handsome, it would be great if the big-haired and the two-haired can be so handsome in the future!"

Her two children are like black monkeys. How well-behaved are the children in front of her!

Li Qingzhi coughed lightly and said, "I'm also very handsome." His current appearance is even higher than that of his original owner. He is definitely a handsome young man from Yushu Linfeng!

Jin Xiaoye said: "Yes, you are handsome, but you are a little thin."

In fact, Qian Changsheng is also thin, but Qian Changsheng has a pointed face, which makes people think that he should look like this.

Li Qingzhi is different.

Li Qingzhi's face is not that small or pointed, and he is indeed a little thin...he just lacks some flesh on his face.

Li Qingzhi: "..." He has been too busy recently and consumed a lot of money, and he has not even bothered to gain weight for himself...

He won't be able to grow for the time being, and all his current energy is used to treat Qian Changsheng's illness.

Speaking of which, Qian Changsheng's appearance is different from his. When his body is fully fleshed out, he will be a tall and handsome man, but Qian Changsheng is a young boy with a pretty face.

When Li Qingzhi sent Qian Changsheng away that day, he told Qian Changsheng: "Changsheng, getting more sun is good for your health. You can get more sun in the afternoon."

There is no falsehood in his words. Sunbathing is definitely good for Qian Changsheng!

When Qian Changsheng gets tan, Jin Xiaoye will definitely think that he is more handsome than Qian Changsheng.

Jin Xiaoye knew nothing about Li Qingzhi's thoughts. She came to the house to look around, and then went to Jinye Embroidery Workshop.

When she met Jin Xiaoshu there, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Li Qingzhi's brother is so handsome, but her brother is dark and strong...

Life in Chongcheng County is very smooth, but in Beijing, things are turbulent.

The flood incident seven years ago has been re-investigated.

It is true that Li Zhao, the magistrate of Yu County, did not embezzle disaster relief money, but he was the imperial envoy at the time and embezzled a lot of money.

The emperor was furious and dismissed many officials. He also reprimanded King Jin for his poor supervision.

But just as Li Qingzhi expected... King Jin was not severely punished.

He is still the high and mighty prince!

Shopkeeper Mu gritted his teeth and was extremely unhappy.

It is said that princes are as guilty as common people when they break the law... Actually, that is just that.

These royal relatives did a lot of evil things, but in the end nothing happened!

In fact, let alone the King of Jin... The eldest princess of the current dynasty was arrogant and domineering, and not long ago there was news that she beat the maid in the palace to death.

It was said that the maid stole her jewelry, but in fact... everyone knew that was not the case.

Taking a deep breath, Shopkeeper Mu felt better.

The current situation is actually very good.

Her father's conviction has been overturned, and Prince Jin no longer pays attention to the emperor...

Just as he was thinking this, Shopkeeper Mu heard someone coming to report that it was Duan Jin who was looking for him.

she.

She immediately let Duan Jin in.

Duan Jin has done a lot of things for her this year, and Shopkeeper Mu admires Duan Jin very much.

When Duan Jin arrived, Shopkeeper Mu asked, "Why did you come to see me?"

"Shopkeeper Mu, I got a piece of news and I want to ask Shopkeeper Mu to send it to the palace." Duan Jin said.

Duan Jin is a good cook, and Lu Qingxi likes his craftsmanship very much. He often came to his Qingyun Building to have dinner with him, so he could tell Lu Qingxi some news directly.

But it has been cold recently and the emperor's health has deteriorated... Lu Qingxi has not left the palace for more than ten days, and Duan Jin cannot see him.

He could only ask Shopkeeper Mu to send news to the palace.

"What news did you get?" Shopkeeper Mu asked.

Duan Jin said: "Shopkeeper Mu, I asked someone to go to Yuxi Mansion to investigate, and found that there is something fishy about Yuxi Mansion's disaster relief."

Shopkeeper Mu waited for Duan Jin to continue.

Duan Jin said: "I found out that Prince Yan also stole a sum of money for disaster relief and deliberately left clues to make Prince Jin's people suspect Master Li Zhaoli..."

At the end of last year, after Li Qingzhi and Qian Fugui had such speculation, Qian Fugui immediately went to investigate.

And he did find some evidence.

After realizing that this was indeed the case, Li Qingzhi immediately sent someone to send news to Chang Duan, and asked Chang Duan to reveal the news to Lu Qingxi.

Chang Duan got the news a few days ago, and it was not an important matter. He originally wanted to wait until Lu Qingxi left the palace, but Lu Qingxi still refused to leave the palace... He planned to tell Shopkeeper Mu to be on guard against Yan County. king.

As far as he knew...some people on Lu Qingxi's side had a good impression of Prince Yan and even had some contacts with him.

"Shopkeeper Mu, I also got news. It is said that Yulong Trading Company belongs to Prince Yan, and now Mr. Prince Yan's son is in charge..." Chang Duan continued.

Qian Fugui knew a lot about Prince Yan, and Li Qingzhi told Chang Duan all those things.

Chang Duan said it now. Of course, he didn't mention the Qian family much.

Qian Fugui himself is currently ill in Jiang'an Province and does not manage Yulon Trading Company.

Shopkeeper Mu listened carefully. When she finished listening, she suddenly smiled: "I will send the news to the palace immediately."

Yanjun Prince's Mansion.

Prince Yan was talking to his husband about Qian Fugui: "Sir, Qian Fugui's family suffered a disaster. Is someone targeting us?"

Qian Fugui once asked King Yan to find a doctor to treat Qian Changsheng. King Yan specially arranged for his confidants to check Qian Changsheng's body.

As far as he knew, Qian Changsheng's health was really poor and he wouldn't live long. It was no wonder that Qian's family wanted to take him out for medical treatment.

Now that the Qian family encountered gangsters and something happened, King Yan did not doubt Qian Fugui, but he suspected that someone was targeting them.

Prince Yan's husband thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see what happens! And... Qian Fugui, why not take this opportunity to let him withdraw from Yulong Trading Company..."

After all, they have a grudge against Qian Fugui. In the past, they were short of manpower, so they just used it.

Now that they have trained enough people, there is no need to use money to get rich.

When their people take complete control of Yulon Trading Company, they will also eradicate the Qian family.

Chapter 188 Li Laogen's Peach Blossom

When the capital city was in turmoil, the book "Travel Notes of Ling Du" finally reached Chongcheng County.

In Chongcheng County, a copy of this book costs one and a half yuan, which is equivalent to fifteen hundred copies.

One tael of silver is now worth about 1,300 yuan... This book is much more expensive in Chongcheng County than in the provincial capital, but many people still buy it.

The reputation of Qingdu Sanren is quite big, and... the situation of this book has been spread to Chongcheng County!

"I heard that "The Travels of Alone" describes a world of great harmony that no one has ever heard of!"

"This book is also different. It has printed sentences to read!"

"People in the provincial capital are rushing to buy this book, and I want to buy it too."

One of the teachers in Li Qingzhi's school bought this book and brought it to the school to read.

This man was Li Qingzhi's classmate when he studied with Li Xiucai.

His knowledge was average and he had not even passed the county examination, but he had a shop at home and had some money.

It's just that his family's shop will be inherited by his eldest brother in the future. As the third eldest brother in the family, he will be allocated some land at most, so he must find a living for himself.

He originally wanted to be a shopkeeper, but unfortunately he couldn't find a suitable one, so he came here

Li Qingzhi came to work as a teacher here.

As a teacher at Chongcheng Primary School, his income was not high, but his father was still alive and the shop was still in his hands, so he had plenty of money and bought as many books as he wanted.

"This... after controlling the temperature, can eggs be hatched without hens?" The man was extremely curious, "I want to try it!"

Several other teachers stood beside him reading, equally curious and wanted to give it a try.

It's just that the temperature for hatching eggs needs to be maintained day and night, which is a bit troublesome.

"Don't worry about this for now and continue reading." Someone said.

The teacher who bought the book heard this and continued reading.

When Li Qingzhi came in with Qian Changsheng, he heard these teachers reading "Lonely Travels".

Li Qingzhi got up early this morning.

It has entered February, Chongcheng County has become much warmer, and the sunrises earlier.

Recently, the elementary school has been on the right track, and Li Qingzhi doesn't need to keep an eye on him. He eats at home instead, so that he can accompany Li Damao and Li Ermao.

When he got up today, just like before, he took Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou to read in the morning.

Li Laogen went to the teahouse to drink tea as usual, and his family had breakfast with Chang Zhan and Chang Cui.

There are few people in the family, so Chang Zhan has time to make some exquisite food. For example, today, he made wontons with bamboo shoots and shepherd's purse.

Shepherd's purse is a common wild vegetable here in Chongcheng County. It can often be seen in the fields, but rural people generally don't dig it and eat it.

Firstly, these wild vegetables are not delicious without adding oil. Secondly... the shepherd's purse is so small that even if you dig it for a long time, you won't be able to dig out much. If you waste your energy and eat the shepherd's purse, you won't be able to make up for it at all!

But people in rural areas don't like it, but people in cities do. People in the city who don't have to worry about food and clothing like to take their children out of the city to dig for shepherd's purse to eat. Rich families don't dig it themselves, so they just buy it and eat it.

The shepherd's purse owned by Li Qing was dug by Aunt Jin's daughter-in-law, Liu Da Niu, and asked to be delivered by Aunt Jin.

Liu Da Niu was a good person and would bring them vegetables from time to time. Li Qingzhi had a very good impression of her.

Liu Da Niu sent shepherd's purse, plus the bamboo shoots dug in the school's bamboo forest and the pork bought yesterday afternoon... Chang Zhan made more than a hundred bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse and pork wontons.

Eating shepherd's purse directly without oil is like eating grass, but when mixed with pork and stuffed, it tastes very delicious.

Li Qingzhi ate three large bowls of wontons in one go and burped after eating.

Li Damao and Li Ermao once again envied Li Qingzhi's appetite.

If only they could eat like their dad! That way, they can eat a lot more good stuff!

As soon as Li Qingzhi and the others finished eating, Gou Ying came.

Gou Ying has been living in Li Qingzhi's school during this period, and has breakfast at the school.

The breakfast at their school is basically porridge.

The side dishes for the students are pickles, and the teacher will have extra eggs and salted duck eggs. As for Gou Ying... the servants of the Gou family will go to the new dock to buy steamed buns and fried dough sticks for Gou Ying to eat.

Every morning, Gou Ying would go to the canteen to serve a bowl of porridge, and then eat it with the steamed buns bought for him by his servants.

After eating, he would come to Li Qingzhi's place to sit for a while. When the time was almost up, he took Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou to Li Xiucai's place to study.

They would read at Li Xiucai's place for most of the day and have lunch at Li Xiucai's place. They would come back together at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

They left an hour earlier than other students, but Li Xiucai was not so strict. As long as he agreed, it was okay to go home early.

"Mr. Li, are you eating wontons today?" When Gou Ying came, she saw two small bowls of wontons left on the table, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is for you." Li Qingzhi handed one of the bowls of wontons to Gou Ying.

There were only five wontons in this small bowl. A growing boy like Gou Ying could still eat even when he was full.

Sure enough, after Gou Ying sat down, she happily started eating wontons.

Not long after Gou Ying ate, Qian Changsheng also came.

A few days ago, Qian Changsheng came relatively late. When he came, Jin Xiaoye Gouying and the others had already gone out.

But yesterday Li Qingzhi specifically told him to come over early today.

"Changsheng." Li Qingzhi greeted Qian Changsheng with a smile and asked Qian Changsheng to come in and eat wontons.

The wontons in another small bowl were reserved for Qian Changsheng, and there were only two in them - Qian Changsheng must have had breakfast before he came, he couldn't eat too much.

After Qian Changsheng came in, he greeted everyone present seriously before sitting down to eat wontons.

"Your name is Qian Changsheng? Immortal Changsheng?" Gou Ying looked at Qian Changsheng curiously.

Li Qingzhi would take Qian Changsheng to school some time ago. Although Gou Ying had never met Qian Changsheng, she had heard of him.

"Yes." Qian Changsheng was a little restrained.

"You look so good-looking." Gou Ying couldn't help but say.

Qian Changsheng was a little embarrassed and his face turned slightly red.

Li Qingzhi blinked and saw Jin Xiaoye, Li Damao and Li Ermao, all looking at Qian Changsheng with bright eyes.

Hmm... I must let Qian Changsheng bask in the sun more from now on!

Jin Xiaoye didn't know what Li Qingzhi was thinking. She was looking forward to her two children growing up like Qian Changsheng in the future.

As for Li Damao and Li Ermao, they were just curious about Qian Changsheng. After all, he was a stranger.

After dinner, Gou Ying and the others went to study, Jin Xiaoye went to the embroidery workshop, and Li Qingzhi took Qian Changsheng to the school.

The teachers and students at the school had already eaten breakfast, but class had not yet started. When Li Qingzhi entered the office, the teachers were reading "The Travels of Solitude".

Seeing Li Qingzhi, one of the teachers asked: "Mr. Li, have you read "The Travels of Solitude"?"

"I saw it," Li Qingzhi said with a smile, taking out the two copies of "Lonely Travels" sent to him by Governor Zhang. "I bought two copies and will put them in the reading room later. You can go and see them if you want."

After saying that, Li Qingzhi looked at Qian Changsheng: "Changsheng, if you are interested, you can also read this book."

"Can I read this book?" Qian Changsheng asked. His family would not let him read the books that Qingdu Sanren had written before.

"You can read this book." Li Qing insisted.

Qian Changsheng suddenly became interested and excitedly looked at the book in Li Qing's hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhi simply gave one of the books to Qian Changsheng: "Take this book and read it."

Qian Changsheng happily took the book into his arms. At this time, the teacher who was interested in hatching chicks asked Li Qingzhi: "Mr. Li, the book says that eggs can be hatched without chickens, as long as the temperature is kept slightly higher than ours... Do you think it is true or false?" "

"Of course it's true." Li Qing insisted.

"And the methane pit..."

"This place in the book actually wipes their buttocks with paper. What a luxury!"

"Everyone can go to school, regardless of gender!"

"The school in the book is similar to our elementary school?"

"Everyone, it's time for class!" Finally, it was Li Qingzhi who reminded him.

After hearing this, these teachers quickly took the lesson plans and went to class.

Li Qingzhi waited for them to leave and looked at Qian Changsheng: "Changsheng, shall we find a classroom to stay?"

"Okay." Qian Changsheng said.

Li Qingzhi took Qian Changsheng into one of the classrooms and sat down on the empty desks and chairs at the back of the classroom.

Qian Changsheng brought a textbook and listened carefully to the lecture after sitting down. Li Qingzhi was different. He took out the book sent to him by Governor Zhang and began to study.

In August this year, he will take the provincial examination.

The rural examination was held in the provincial capital. He was actually very confident about the provincial examination, but the key point was... He planned to go to Beijing immediately after taking the provincial examination to participate in the joint examination next spring.

He was confident about the provincial examination, but it was different in the provincial examination.

In modern society, some people are able to slip through loopholes to get into college. The imperial examinations in this era... are really not fair at all.

He was somewhat famous in Jiang'an Province, but when he arrived in the capital, he was nothing. It was not easy to get good results in the examination.

He still has to learn.

As for why he came to study in the classroom... Li Qingzhi also wanted to supervise the teachers in the school and ask them to be more serious when teaching students.

Qian Changsheng likes to attend classes very much. He thinks the things taught in Li Qingzhi's school are very interesting, especially mathematics.

Li Qingzhi's school will teach a kind of "simplified numbers". It will be much easier to use these numbers to calculate accounts.

During the break between lectures, Qian Changsheng glanced at the book Li Qingzhi was reading.

He knew all the words in the book, but he didn't know the meaning when they were put together... His cousin was so awesome!

Li Qingzhi spent the whole morning studying. At noon, he took Qian Changsheng home to have lunch and drink medicine.

Jin Xiaoye and the others were not here. Chang Zhan, Li Laogen and Chang Cui had lunch with them.

Li Laogen was a little afraid of Qian Changsheng at first, but after Qian Changsheng came a few more times, he learned that Qian Changsheng's father was just an ordinary businessman, so he was no longer afraid of Qian Changsheng.

He even bragged in front of Qian Changsheng, saying that he once had dinner with Governor Zhang Gou Tongzhi and talked a lot with these two people...

The Qian family's business is very big, but Qian Changsheng doesn't know much about his own business, and he doesn't know that his uncle has ever seen someone like Prince Yan.

Qian's family never told him about family matters.

The governor and Tongzhi were both very important officials to Qian Changsheng, so when Li Laogen said this, he kept looking at Li Laogen with admiration.

Li Laogen fell in love with him immediately. Every time he met him, he would tell him something about Li Qingzhi, or what he saw and heard when he went to the provincial capital...

Many of Li Laogen's words were nonsense and exaggerated, but Qian Changsheng was very supportive. He looked amazed every time and listened very carefully.

Li Qingzhi was all ready to listen to Li Laogen's bragging during the meal, but he didn't know what was going on today, so he didn't speak. He was a little distracted and smiled from time to time. He smiled happily, but he looked so... so vulgar.

"Dad, has something good happened to you?" Li Qingzhi asked - Li Laogen obviously had something going on.

Li Laogen smiled "hehe" and said to Li Qing: "Aqing, there is a woman who has fallen in love with me!"

Chapter 189 Hatching chicks

Li Qingzhi was a little surprised when he heard Li Laogen's words.

How should I put it... Li Laogen has a sharp mouth and almost all his teeth, and he is only 1.5 meters tall...

When he was young, no one liked him, but now that he is so old...is he attracted to Li Laogen, or is he attracted to him and wants to be his mother?

"Dad, tell me." Li Qing insisted.

"Xiao Xu asked me not to tell others, but you are my son and don't count others!" Li Laogen couldn't hold back his words and happily talked about his experience with Xiao Xu.

It turned out that when Li Laogen went to have morning tea a few days ago, he met a woman in her thirties who was about to jump into the river.

He stopped the person and saw that the woman kept crying, so he comforted her a few times.

Of course, there was nothing else. He was not even willing to give this woman a few pennies so that this supposedly homeless woman could buy some food.

After all...he had to spend the pocket money that Li Qingzhi gave him.

Li Laogen forgot about this in the blink of an eye, but the next day, he met the woman again. The woman also gave Li Laogen some food and a purse.

Li Laogen took it all in and still didn't think much about it.

He simply thinks... he would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

As a result, today, this woman came to Li Laogen and said that she liked Li Laogen and wanted to be Li Laogen's wife.

Li Laogen was shocked, Li Laogen was excited, and Li Laogen was proud.

At this moment, Li Laogen's whole person felt completely different!

"Ah Qing, she said she likes me, hee hee!" Li Laogen smiled so hard that his remaining teeth were exposed.

Li Laogen has been ridiculed since he was a child. Now for the first time, someone said they liked him... He couldn't stop the smile on his face.

Li Qingzhi: "..." Li Laogen was clearly being tricked, right?

That woman obviously wanted to seduce Li Laogen, and she probably jumped into the river to show off to Li Laogen.

It's just that Li Laogen was stingy and straight, so he didn't understand what he meant at first. It wasn't until she said it bluntly today that Li Laogen came back to his senses.

Forget it, "Xiao Xu" asked Li Laogen not to talk about their affairs outside. Li Laogen, a big talker, couldn't hold it in, so he told him directly.

Li Qingzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

In fact... last year, after their family became rich, someone wanted to introduce Li Laogen to his wife, and even asked Jin Xiaoye about it.

There are many people who don't have enough to eat these days. For the people at the bottom, as long as they can have enough to eat, they are willing to do anything... Being Li Laogen's daughter-in-law can not worry about eating and drinking and eating meat every day. Those young girls may not Happy, the older woman whose husband died is willing.

But those who were looking for Jin Xiaoye were all rejected by Jin Xiaoye.

Who wants to suddenly have multiple mothers?

Unexpectedly, someone actually found Li Laogen and even took the initiative to seduce Li Laogen...

According to what Li Laogen said, the woman was in her thirties and very beautiful... She was really capable of risking her life.

"Dad, do you really believe what she said?" Li Qingzhi asked.

Li Laogen said confidently: "If you can't believe it, I saved her."

Li Qingzhi looked at Li Laogen seriously.

Li Laogen looked away and muttered: "She said so herself."

Li Laogen was not a fool. Of course he knew that the woman could not really like him.

He has only been teased by women since he was a child. How could someone suddenly take a fancy to him now that he is much older?

"Xiao Xu" is so beautiful!

But he was still happy to be liked.

Thinking like this, Li Laogen said again: "I am different now. Someone wanted to introduce me to my wife before, but I didn't like it..." In fact, last year, someone also went to Li Laogen and told him Daughter-in-law, but they are all from Miaoqian Village or even nearby Miaoqian Village.

Li Laogen has been bullied since he was a child. Those women are more or less related to the people who bullied him, so he is naturally not happy.

"Dad, if you want to get married, then go back to Miaoqian Village and live in the old house. Then I will give you one tael of silver per month as pension money, and nothing else."

"One tael of silver?" Li Laogen was very excited.

Li Qing insisted: "But in this case, I won't take you with me when I go to the capital to take the imperial examination, or when I go to other places to become an official."

Li Qingzhi never liked forcing others. If Li Laogen wanted to get married, he would not stop him.

But if Li Laogen really does this, he will definitely move out of his home. When he goes to other places in the future, he will not take Li Laogen with him.

He doesn't want to have many "mothers" with ulterior motives in his family.

Li Qingzhi has already begun to think about finding someone to watch over Li Laogen and the person Li Laogen plans to marry, so that Li Laogen and the others can't cause trouble for him...

"This won't work!" Li Laogen said without thinking.

He is now thinking deeply about Li Qingzhi becoming an official. And after he had a son who was an official, he could be envied.

If Li Qingzhi doesn't take him with him... he can only stay in Miaoqian Village and can't go to the place where Li Qingzhi is an official to show off his power?

At this time, Qian Changsheng said: "Is one tael of silver too little? A spicy duck sells for one tael of silver."

When Li Laogen heard this, he came to his senses and said, "Ah Qing, if I don't want a wife, you can't let me go!"

Li Qingzhi had threatened him before, saying that if he went to gamble, he would not let him go.

Now Li Qingzhi's words sounded like he didn't want him anymore.

He doesn't want to!

A daughter-in-law is not as important as a son! Li Qingzhi didn't expect that Li Laogen would kill his love in the blink of an eye: "You really don't want to marry?" "I won't marry! I'm useless!" Li Laogen said.

When he was young, he thought about women, but when he got older, he stopped thinking about them.

He has been useless for a long time!

Li Qingzhi came back to his senses after hearing what Li Laogen said. Well, Li Laogen is indeed not good. He is the one that men can't stand the most.

He had checked Li Laogen's body before. Li Laogen was old and had been hungry and tired in his early years. He had already died.

He helped Li Laogen heal his body, but the golden finger was very weak after he traveled through time, so he didn't waste his energy in that place.

"What is useless?" Qian Changsheng asked curiously.

Li Qingzhi: "..."

Chang Zhan knew better. He coughed lightly and said to Li Laogen: "Uncle Li, you are right not to marry a wife. If you marry someone, you will definitely have to spend money to support her. After you move out from here, you can't go back." You can only eat the food I cook, and even what others give you, everything is under their control..."

Chang Zhan frightened Li Laogen, and Li Laogen instantly thought of his sister-in-law who didn't give him food and was domineering at home.

He is small and can't even beat a woman. If he really wants to get married, he will fall into their hands, and Li Qingzhi doesn't care about him...

Li Laogen was so excited that he completely gave up the idea of marrying a wife. He looked at Li Qingzhi longingly and said, "Ah Qing, I don't want a wife. I won't marry you if you don't want to."

Li Laogen said so... Li Qing insisted: "Okay, I won't marry you. Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely provide for you until you die."

Li Qingzhi didn't say much, but he had already made up his mind to check on Xiao Xu.

If someone just wants to live a good life, just come and hook up with Li Laogen. Even hooking up with someone like Li Laogen... is not easy.

But if this person had bad intentions...then he would check to see if there was anyone behind this person.

Hong Hui wanted to take action on Jin Xiaoye's business back then. Who knows if someone might want to target him through Li Laogen now?

After dinner, Li Qingzhi asked Qian Changsheng to drink medicine.

Li Laogen was very impressed when he saw Qian Changsheng drinking up the medicine Li Qing had prepared.

Li Qingzhi has never learned medical skills at all, so Qian Changsheng is not afraid of getting sick?

Fortunately, he didn't need to take medicine... Li Laogen had forgotten about his "little Xu" and said to Li Qing: "Ah Qing, I want to eat dates."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingzhi took down the dates that Jin Xiaoye had hung on the beam, and gave a large handful to Li Laogen.

Not long ago, Jin Xiaoye bought ten kilograms of red dates, but she kept them away to prevent Li Laogen from eating them.

There was nothing she could do. She didn't put them away before, so Li Laogen kept eating and ate all the dates in one go, so much that his stomach was broken...

Li Laogen must be treated as a child.

Li Qingzhi also grabbed a handful of red dates to eat, and gave a few to Qian Changsheng: "Your health is better. Go back and rest. Remember to get more sun."

"Okay!" Qian Changsheng said seriously.

He actually likes to bask in the sun. The sun is warm and comfortable on his body.

After sending Qian Changsheng to leave, Li Qingzhi went upstairs and continued writing his "Travels Alone".

He set a rule for himself to write three thousand words every day.

In this case...he can write a book in a month.

Today, Li Qingzhi wrote about bicycles in his book, and he also drew a picture.

In this era, it is impossible to make a bicycle that can go on the road. First of all, the metal chain on the bicycle is difficult to make with the current technology.

The second thing is... there is no rubber at this time, and rubber tires cannot be made.

Maybe someone can make a bicycle out of wood or something, but it will definitely take a lot of effort to ride such a bicycle.

After the tires of modern bicycles are flat, it is very difficult to ride on the cement road. The road conditions of this era... riding a bicycle can be very tiring and bumpy.

But it doesn't matter if you draw a picture and let people study it.

Next, he will write some things that can be made at this time, and he can also draw pictures, so that those who are interested in science and inventions can try to study them.

When Li Qingzhi was thinking this, he read Qian Changsheng's "A Travels Alone" and wanted to make a methane tank.

Can it produce "gas" that can burn? This is so interesting!

But this seems a bit difficult.

Qian Changsheng looked at Mrs. Qian Er: "Mom, I want something."

"What do you want, Changsheng?" Mrs. Qian Er looked at Qian Changsheng in surprise: "Mom will find someone to buy it for you right away!"

Qian Changsheng rarely asked for things from them, but now that he had what he wanted, Mrs. Qian was quite happy.

Qian Changsheng said: "Mom, I want an egg, the kind that can hatch a chick. I want to hatch a chick!"

Mrs. Qian Er looked confused: "What?" Did she hear wrongly? Her son was going to hatch chicks?

Qian Changsheng said: "Mom, I want an egg that can hatch a chick. I want to hatch a chick!"

He wants to hatch a chick himself!

Chapter 190 Teacher Gou

After learning that Qian Changsheng read the book,

Wanting to try to hatch chicks, Mrs. Qian immediately asked her servants to take the money and go out to buy eggs that could hatch chicks.

Rural people basically raise chickens to eat eggs, so they go to the chicken coops every day to get eggs.

If a hen can't gather enough eggs to hatch, she won't lay a nest and will just keep laying eggs.

You can buy chickens and ducks everywhere from Juewizhai... Recently, people around Chongcheng County have been creating conditions for hens to nest, and many chicks have been hatched to raise.

Qian's family was rich, so they quickly bought a nest of eggs that could hatch chicks, and also bought the chicken coop and the hen together.

There were a total of eight eggs in the chicken coop. Qian Changsheng thought for a while, found two purses from home, stuffed silk into them, then took two eggs from the chicken coop and put them in...

Qian Changsheng placed these two pouches with eggs in his arms, and held a hand warmer outside... In this way, the temperature of the eggs placed close to his body should be appropriate.

At night, he planned to find a wooden box to put the eggs in, and then put them in his bed. There was a heater in his bed, so the eggs would not be frozen.

Qian Changsheng focused on these two eggs and was thinking about how to hatch them. Gou Ying had already returned to Li's house with Li Damao and the others.

When Li Qingzhi heard the noise, he put away the manuscript and went downstairs. Li Damao and Li Ermao rushed over to hug him: "Dad!"

"Big hair and two hair." Li Qingzhi squatted down and asked them what they had eaten in school today and how they were doing.

Li Damao talked about what he had encountered today in a serious manner, but Li Ermao was different. He picked up some things that impressed him and said, "Dad, Brother Ying treated us to pig's trotters at noon today. It's very delicious!"

Gou Tongzhi is not short of money. His son lives outside alone, so he will not treat him badly with money. Every day at noon, the servants of the Gou family will prepare a rich lunch for Gou Ying, and will also prepare Li Damao and Li Ermao's meals. .

Li Qingzhi did not refuse. After all, Gou Ying lived in his school and came to his place to eat.

"Da Mao Er Mao, you have worked hard in studying. Let's eat some pot glutinous rice." Li Laogen made six bowls of pot glutinosa with boiling water and brought them out, giving one bowl to each person, including Li Qingzhi and Chang Cui.

Guozi is a local food made from glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice is boiled in water until soft, use a spatula to mash it into a paste. Then heat the pot and use a spatula to spread the glutinous rice paste evenly on the bottom of the pot into a thin layer...

The glutinous rice paste will be baked and dried, turning into a wall-like skin with slightly browned crispy flakes. This is Guozi.

Guozi can be eaten dry or soaked in boiling water. If you can add some brown sugar when soaking, it will definitely be one of children's favorite things.

The pot rice tea brought by Li Laogen had sugar added to it. Li Damao and the others ate it happily. Li Qingzhi also brought a bowl: "Thank you, dad."

Li Laogen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After talking about wanting to marry a wife at noon today, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he became.

Li Qingzhi, his son, came to the door on his own initiative. He had never raised Li Qingzhi. If we really wanted to say it, it was actually Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye who were raising him. Without these two people, he might have starved to death!

No matter what, he cannot live without Li Qingzhi as his son!

He must treat Li Qing well and not let Li Qing think about changing his father!

That Governor Zhang, and the businessman who came to their house and gave him gold coins during the Chinese New Year... Those people were very kind to Li Qingzhi, and they might all want to be Li Qingzhi's father.

This son cannot be robbed!

As for Xiao Xu who wants to be his wife... is it boring to brag or is Juewei Zhai's braised food not delicious? What do you want a woman for?

Li Laogen, who was already a stoic at a young age, took a sip of the sweet pot tea and felt very happy.

The bowl of Guozi tea in his hand had a spoonful more sugar than the others, making it taste particularly sweet.

After eating the pot rice tea, her body felt warm. Gou Ying said to Li Qing, "Mr. Li, I'm going to teach the students!"

"Go." Li Qingzhi smiled.

Gou Ying didn't want to study with Li Xiucai all day and had to come back early every day. There was no other reason than that he wanted to teach the students of Chongcheng Primary School!

He wants to be sir!

Li Qingzhi strongly supported Gou Ying's idea. He also specially trained Gou Ying to teach Gou Ying how to teach students.

As for what Gou Ying teaches during class... Li Qingzhi asked Gou Ying to tell stories to those students.

Whether it's various allusions, the history of various dynasties, or the customs and customs of various places, you can tell them all.

Gou Ying's knowledge and knowledge are much richer than those of those students. He is also a lively personality and is willing to tell stories to others...

Gou Ying's class is the favorite among the students in the school.

It's just that he has to study during the day, so he can only teach students after he comes back from school. He has two periods a day, for two different classes.

Gou Ying took Li Damao and the others to class - when he was in class, Li Damao and the others would listen.

Li Qingzhi felt that in a few days, Li Damao, Li Ermao, Zhao Xiaodou and the others could be given a try to teach those students.

The content of the class can be telling stories, teaching students how to play backgammon, or finding some interesting math problems to teach students. There are many choices.

For example, Li Damao is very good at topics like "Chicken and rabbit in the same cage". He can teach those students and expand their thinking.

Of course, just take your time

Okay, don't be in a hurry.

Li Qingzhi waited for them to leave and went back upstairs to continue writing.

Gou Ying's class is the students' favorite, and the students in both classes who have their turn today are very happy.

What Gou Ying described to them was a world they had never been exposed to before.

Listening to Gou Ying's story, many of them had ambitions - they wanted to see the outside world, and they didn't want to stay in Chongcheng County and live a life with no end in sight.

Even some teachers in the school would come to listen to Gou Ying's lectures.

Many of the things Gou Ying talked about were something they had never heard before, such as Tang Chunrong, a man with dysentery. He was just a farmer who knew a few words, but he didn't know how cold the winter in the north was.

In the past, their world was so small that they only knew Chongcheng County.

Gou Ying finished two classes in high spirits and then went to her residence to have dinner.

The son of the housekeeper who was responsible for taking care of him had watched Gou Ying grow up and was very close to Gou Ying.

The book boy and the boy were always with Gou Ying. Although Gou Ying is a little out of touch, she never treats the people around her badly and is always kind to them.

The three of them all looked towards Gou Ying and did not want to see Gou Ying being beaten. They felt that it was good for Gou Ying to live in Chongcheng County.

"Master, you did a great job in class today!"

"Master, those students say that you are the best teacher."

"Master, they said you will definitely be able to take the Xiao San Yuan exam in the future!"

Gou Ying was so praised by them: "That's right, I'm smart!"

These people all think he is very powerful and knowledgeable... He must study hard and not let these people down!

On the other side, Gou Tongzhi also thought the same thing: He must do more good things for the people and not let them down!

After arriving in Fucheng, Gou Tongzhi has been very busy.

He led his men to measure the land, build bridges and pave roads, and wanted to make the people of Hexing Prefecture live a good life.

The people in Hexing Mansion all think that he is a good and upright official, and he must do a good job in this official role!

Before, Gou Tongzhi had to find time to discipline his son, but now that his son is gone, he is busy with his career and rarely goes home.

Mrs. Gou must have felt aggrieved, but her mother Yang had been sent away, and the other maids were frightened and did not dare to say bad things about Gou Tongzhi. She could only nurse the baby in a depressed manner, thinking that when she gave birth to a son this time, she would definitely Don't feed others.

She wants to raise an obedient son.

That night, after returning to the bedroom, Li Qingzhi grabbed Jin Xiaoye's hand and touched it back and forth, while telling Jin Xiaoye that a woman came to Li Laogen and wanted to marry Li Laogen.

Jin Xiaoye said without thinking: "How come I have a crush on my father? I clearly want to be your mother!"

"I am also your mother." Li Qingzhi held the person in his arms and continued to touch her.

You can't even see it during the day, but you must have a great time at night!

Alas, Li Da Mao and Li Er Mao are getting bigger and bigger, and he is embarrassed to kiss them all the time...

Jin Xiaoye said: "She has a beautiful idea! Ah Qing, this can't happen. If dad is coaxed, he won't be able to handle it clearly."

"Don't worry, dad has given up this idea." Li Qing insisted and told what happened next.

Jin Xiaoye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

In fact, after Li Qingzhi disappeared, she would have lived a more comfortable life without Li Laogen.

Li Laogen would indeed do something for her, but if Li Laogen didn't gamble and get into debt when she was pregnant, why would she have to work so hard?

She felt that she had treated Li Laogen well, but she didn't want Li Laogen to give her a cheap mother-in-law.

But speaking of matchmaking... In fact, this year, not only were some people trying to be matchmakers for Li Laogen, there were also people who wanted their daughters to be Li Qingzhi's concubines.

Many of these people asked questions about her, but she scolded them all away.

She felt that life was pretty good now, and she didn't want Li Qing to take a concubine at all.

Thinking like this, Jin Xiaoye turned over and pressed on Li Qingzhi: "Ms. sir, there are people on my father's side who take the initiative to show their kindness. Are there people on your side too? You can't be fooled!"

Li Qingzhi immediately said: "Don't worry, Xiaoye, I will only marry you." His wife felt uneasy, and he must comfort her.

Jin Xiaoye kissed Li Qingzhi's face with satisfaction.

It's rare to be caught in a red wave.

Jin Xiaoye pinched Li Qingzhi's arm, which although not thick, was full of muscles, felt a little weird.

She was running outside all day, and her meat was soft. Li Qingzhi stayed at home every day, how did he make his meat so hard?

Li Qingzhi felt Jin Xiaoye's love for the muscles on his body and held him in his arms in a good mood.

The two woke up early the next day.

Li Qingzhi didn't want to get up, so he hugged Jin Xiaoye and held on. Unfortunately, not long after, Li Damao and Li Ermao knocked on the door: "Dad, dad, come and read early!"

Li Qingzhi got up resignedly and took his three children to morning reading, telling them stories along the way.

Downstairs, Chang Zhan is cooking.

Chang Zhan made noodles with scallion oil today and used lard to fry the scallions. The smell was delicious!

He also fried some eggs and stir-fried some cabbage sprouts.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Qingzhi went downstairs to prepare for dinner. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

He quickly stepped forward and opened the door, and saw Qian Changsheng holding a food box.

Qian Changsheng's face was white and tender, and when he smiled, he showed two small tiger teeth: "Brother Li, I'm sorry for bothering you."

After he came yesterday, Li Qingzhi gave him wontons.

Qian Changsheng suddenly realized...he could also have breakfast at Li Qingzhi's side!

So he came over early in the morning with his own breakfast.

Li Qingzhi looked at Qian Changsheng's protruding belly in confusion: "What's wrong with your belly?"

Qian Changsheng touched his belly with bright eyes: "I'm hatching eggs!"
