Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 204
"Dong dong dong."

Ling Jing's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, came in to clean up the dishes, Ling Jing who was about to speak stopped, Li Shan smiled and said: "Auntie, I was in a hurry that day, I only packed a few beddings and soft goods, if there is anything missing, just ask. "

"Li Langjun is too polite." Mrs. Liu tidied up her hands and feet quickly, and said: "The old lady also asked just now..."

"Cough cough, cough cough." Ling Jing suddenly coughed twice, "Don't disturb each other, just a few acres of Susukida is enough, if something really happens, Huairen's maid can make the decision."

"Cough, cough, cough." Li Shan couldn't help coughing a few times, and said with a wry smile: "That girl is spoiled by my nephew, she laughs at it."

Liu's expression changed slightly, and he rolled up the bamboo basket and exited the house, Ling Jing snorted, a little dissatisfied with the eldest daughter-in-law.

Although Li Shan had some thoughts, he had never experienced it after all. In his two lifetimes, his family had a small population, so naturally he couldn't hear the meaning of this corner.

But Ling Jing could understand, the eldest daughter-in-law went to see Mrs. Zhu for something, and went to Xiaoman... There was an essential difference.

The eight daughters are seen clean, where can they marry in the future?

Mrs. Liu had some petty thoughts, but Ling Jing unceremoniously strangled this thought to death...In this era, marriage and marriage basically follow the principle of matching family and family.

Although Li Shan was abandoned by his father, his ancestors held high positions in the Wei, Zhou, and Sui Dynasties, and there were countless knights in the clan.

Although Ling Jing himself has been famous in Shandong for a long time, his two sons are mediocre, they can be regarded as the children of poor families.

Ling Jing thought of the superiority and inferiority relationship between the Zhu family and Zhu Wei, and also thought of the calm expression of the Zhu family who closed the door today, and then thought that Li Shan's mother's family is not unknown.

If the granddaughter wants to join the Li family, the main wife is basically hopeless... That's why Ling Jing asked the eldest daughter-in-law to find Xiaoman if she has something to do.

This is why Ling Jing was willing to match up with Cui Xin before.

Picking up a bamboo stick to pick out the wick, the dim candle light suddenly lit up, Ling Jing gathered his thoughts, shook his head and said: "Now you are famous in the north of the Yellow River... no matter how famous you are, but the outside world does not know your father and grandparents, there must be many people looking into it , I’m afraid this matter won’t be kept secret for long.”

Li Shan smiled wryly and said: "Before letting friends become famous in Chang'an, it was just to add some weight. Unexpectedly, the Qinghe incident..."

"It's superfluous." Ling Jing sneered twice, "Li Demou mentioned that Li Dewu already has a son, so neither he nor the wife of the Pei family will tolerate you."

"If something leaks..."

Ling Jing twitched his cheeks when he thought about it, "Even if you want to lift the lid, you have to find a suitable time."

Li Shan added: "Let others lift the lid, why not do it yourself?"

"And it can't be seen that it's you..." Ling Jingqu tapped his fingers on the table, "but that's all for the future."

Li Shan got up and bowed, "I also ask Ling Bo for advice."

Ling Jing raised his left hand slightly, got up and walked a few steps, and said slowly: "Since you have written letters with the King of Qin and decided to take the imperial examination to become an official, you should first consider this matter."

"In the battle of Shandong, you planned to defeat the enemy and gained a great reputation. However, because of the Qinghe incident, many people will definitely pay attention to it. But as long as you stop causing trouble, no one will take the initiative to contact you except old friends."

"That's right, it's only been five years since Li and Tang established the kingdom. The world has just been established, and the etiquette is not yet complete. There are battles for the heir apparent inside, and Turks are eyeing them outside." Li Shan nodded and said: "The situation in Chang'an is changing, and the struggle for the heir apparent is becoming more and more fierce. If you concentrate on preparing for the exam and ignore foreign affairs..."

Speaking of this, Li Shan paused for a while, but stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Ling Jing frowned, and scolded, "Is it that difficult not to stir up trouble?"

Li Shan said with a bitter face: "There are hundreds of people in the village all of a sudden, plus the refugees we took in last year... If we only rely on the land, I'm afraid they will starve to death... No one has any food left!"

Ling Jing's face darkened, this was also unexpected, this guy arranged for everyone to move here, and later took in Qi Laoliu and others... I thought it was very rich, but I didn't expect that the days would be better than those in the Shandong can't be too strong!
"Let's take a look in a few days." Li Shan thought about it in his mind, and he was thinking about it on the way home, "Qi Bo bought a large piece of fertile land on the other side of the Jing River. not enough."

"Dongshan Restaurant has a lot of profits, but it's all benefited by the Zhu clan... Wait for my nephew to think about it, earn some money and food... As long as I have a way... My nephew will concentrate on preparing for the exam, and I will definitely not cause trouble!"

Li Shan originally thought that making money is really not difficult for a traveler, but after thinking about it on the way home, there is really no good way for a while, but at least there is a guarantee.

Ling Jing smiled and said: "It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do."

Li Shan blinked, "Uncle Ling means..."

Could it be that I'm afraid that I won't be able to support these 200 people?

"It's very difficult for you to keep yourself safe."

Li Shan's face was a bit dark, why did he come here again, could it be that I provoked all the messy things before?
Could it be that I took the initiative to provoke the children of Prince Qin's mansion in Changlepo?
Could it be that I volunteered to escort grain and grass northward on Shaanxi Road?

Ling Jing, who was pacing, suddenly paused, "By the way, Li Demou mentioned today that you are going to take the Jinshi examination?"

"Ah."

Ling Jing's lips moved, and after holding back, he asked tentatively, "Have you ever made a poem before?"

Li Shanpi hummed without smiling, "I understand a little bit."

Facing Li Kai and Wang Renbiao, Li Shan really didn't dare to say "understand a little bit", because he has no credibility in this regard.

In his early years, Ling Jing was famous for being good at "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Li" and "Shangshu". People poke.

"You are proficient in arithmetic, why don't you take the Ming math department, or even the Ming economics department..." Ling Jing had a headache, "Chang'an ordered Li Qianyou to be commensurate with your uncle and nephew, why did you let you take the Jinshi department?!"

Li Shan still had the same expression, "Chang'an Commander Li Qianyou and Chang'an County Lieutenant Li Dewu went south with the army a few months ago. After Li Dewu returned to Beijing, Li Qianyou stayed in Shandong Road and was able to return to Beijing this month."

"Li Dewu is the county captain of Chang'an?" Ling Jing snorted, "It must have been his hands and feet, it's too unlucky..."

Li Shan's long sigh interrupted Ling Jing's emotion, "I'm bound in a cocoon!"

Listening to Li Shan's recounting of Chang'an's change of hands last year, Ling Jing couldn't help laughing out loud, "Last year, I intended to use the imperial examination to become an official, so I made such a fuss, but there are some tricks."

"It's a helpless move. If Li Dewu becomes an official under the Chang'an Order, it will be absolutely difficult for him to take the imperial examination unless he moves to another county."

"But after turning around, you still bumped into his hand. It's really unlucky... You are bound in a cocoon, this word is just right."
