Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 116

The shopkeeper saw the distinguished guest check out and go out, and then the good thing happened that the sister and brother recognized each other, and then returned to the restaurant, and immediately ordered the two waiters in the shop to clear a clean table immediately and make a pot of good tea on it.

The Xiao family brothers and Xiao Wenqing Ling Yuxuan sat at the table, Xiao Wenqing held his brother's hand and asked softly: "Cong Cong, what are you and Wen Hua doing at the pier?"

Xiao Wencong said: "Sister, since the messenger left Xiling and returned to the capital, my mother has calculated the time to wait for you to go home. She thinks that if there is no accident, you will return home in February and March at the latest after receiving the letter. Wait until April The news that you haven’t come back this month made my mother anxious. It’s inconvenient for my mother and daughter to go out, so I often visit at the pier.” Changhe Town’s waterway is much easier than land. come and see.

"Brother, isn't this delaying your studies?" Xiao Wenqing said eagerly, "You still have to take the provincial examination in August."

Xiao Wencong shook his head and said, "Sister, my mother didn't allow me to take the exam, saying that firstly I was too inexperienced and could only talk on paper; secondly, I was too young to stand the long-term exam." A big circle, frightened mother.

"You should grow up to take the scientific examination." Xiao Wenqing caressed Xiao Wencong's somewhat thin face pitifully, and said, "I heard that during the days when the examination started, the people taking the scientific examination ate, drank and chatted in a small room. , illnesses are not allowed to be cured.”

"Well, my mother is worried about this, and wants me to consider taking the scientific examination after I turn 14." Feeling his sister's concern from the side, Xiao Wencong said slightly excitedly.

The reason why he insisted on taking the Boy's Examination was to become famous as soon as possible, to be able to participate in the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination, so as to become famous all over the world, so that his sister, who might be alive but didn't know where he was, knew about him and could find out his whereabouts.His mother felt sorry for him, but she didn't object after knowing his intentions.Last September, someone from Beijing suddenly went to Xiaojia Village to look for his mother and him. When they found them, they explained their purpose and handed over a letter from their sister.

Now that my sister has disappeared and will be back soon, my mother doesn't want him to become famous too early.But at that time, he had been jointly recommended by the villagers and the private school teacher, and he could take the boy's test, so he didn't want to give up.He took the boy's exam very seriously, because there was no pressure to pass the exam, and because he had the mentality of gaining experience, he performed exceptionally well and became the 'No.1' in the boy's exam in Xiling County.As a result, he became the object of discussion and praise from all over the world. Every time he entered the town, he would be watched by crowds, and sometimes he would be invited to participate in poetry defense meetings, which was annoying.

Hearing Xiao Wencong talk about his mother's decision, Xiao Wenqing nodded again and again, and said: "Mother is right, your health is more important." The 11-year-old child is still shaking his head and reading with his husband, playing in his spare time, her younger brother is too old Too smart, bid farewell to childhood early, this is not good.

"Don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it?" Ling Yuxuan said, "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Since you don't plan to take the exam again, why don't you go for a walk after reading to learn more about the world."

He thought for a while, and said: "Although Xiling is not a well-known county in the southwest of Daqing, it is still too remote. The knowledge of scholars may lag behind those in the southeast plain and Gyeonggi. The Daqing Dynasty had eight famous academies, Fenghuang, Qingyun, etc. , Bailu, Pengcheng are in the top four, Wen Hua, Wen Cong, if you three brothers want to study further, it is best to go to these academies to study for two or three years." Especially Fenghuang and Qingyun, more than half of the students there are You can pass the Jinshi examination.If Xiao Wencong meets some classmates there, it will be helpful for his future career.

A famous university in the country...

The old and introverted Xiao Wenhua couldn't help showing yearning, and said: "Mr. Ling, we brothers have all heard of Fenghuang, Qingyun, Bailu, and Pengcheng. We plan to go to school after failing the provincial or general examination." Mother is the most farsighted, although I don't want to part with their brothers, but I will agree with their brothers to go out to increase their experience.

Xiao Wencong said: "Mr. Ling, sister, Mr. Zhao from our private school is from Pengcheng Academy. He said that if we want to study in Pengcheng Academy, he will write us a letter of recommendation." He heard that those academies do not accept students easily, A letter of recommendation from a person or acquaintance is required, and a strict examination must be passed.

"Well, I personally think that Phoenix Academy and Qingyun Academy are the best. The gentlemen there are all well-educated and talented, and famous Confucians in the world often go to give lectures."

Ling Yuxuan said.The students of Phoenix Academy and Qingyun Academy are not only talented, but also come from various families. The students are either particularly outstanding, or have a good family background, and they themselves are not too bad. Therefore, the emperor and the crown prince are looking for talents in these two academies. Cultivate in advance.

"Mr. Zhao said that the people in Phoenix Academy and Qingyun Academy are too complicated to simply study." Xiao Wenhua said calmly.He could understand a little bit what the gentleman meant by complex.

"Your husband is right, but if you want to revive the Xiao family early, it is better to go to these two academies." Ling Yuxuan said sincerely, "You have to believe my words." Mr. Zhao said nothing more than complicated The students inside recruit talents for their families and get involved in the battle prematurely.However, those who entered the officialdom were still pure scholars, and they would not be good officials, and they would have no future in the official career.The three brothers of the Xiao family are the reliance of Xiao Wenqing to gain a foothold in the prime minister's mansion in the future, and they must grow up quickly!
His words immediately made Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wencong look at each other in blank dismay. Isn't this young man who sent his sister back to his hometown too enthusiastic?He is even planning the future of the three brothers, right?

Could it be...he is the future brother-in-law!
Xiao Wenhua and Xiao Wencong stared.My sister just came home, is she going to get married?Mother is very sad.
