Chapter 61

The Li family courtyard was once again happy and celebrated Li Xiao’s official career.

In the next few days, Li Xiao also generously placed a seat for several days to deal with the flock of Lanxi fame. It is said that the Li family was developed and had a relationship with the Xue family in Chang'an and the county magistrate. Now it is even more amazing. He can even get the emperor to send an imperial edict to Lijiazhuang. Anyone with a strong reputation in Lanxi dares to despise him.

Yang Dayan also took school holidays these two days and focused on the Li family's account. Every day, he sat at the door to receive gifts and register them, and the gift list was recorded in a long volume.

Some people gave money, some gave food, some gave sheep, and even some gave silk and cloth. Liu Dadizhu from Dongxi generously sent a cow. The cow was a calf, but it would be possible to teach the plow for another half a year.

It was amazing to take action against a cow directly.

"When did Liu Da's head become so generous?"

"Yes, it's said that Liu Da's head is an iron rooster, he only enters and does not go out, he is a person who is not thrust in. Today, the sun came out from the west and actually brought a cow. Oh my god."

A group of landlords and squire set out to cage and stood there in amazement.

The landlord Liu family is quite rich, with nearly a thousand acres of fertile land, and is called the top ten landlords in Lanxi. However, Landlord Liu has always been stingy. It is said that Landlord Liu's family was very poor before, and shed sheep for people since he was a child. Later, he went to the city to work as a clerk. When he was thirty, he followed his home to go to the grassland outside the border, which was a lot of hardship.

Later, he was attracted by his boss and married his daughter. Before his old boss passed away, he gave him some money. The new boss was the son of his boss. The new boss did not keep him and continued to work in the business. He gave him some money and asked him to go back to his hometown.

Lao Liu returned to Lanxi and sold land. At first, he had only a hundred acres of land. He had been operating for 30 years. Now he has become a rich man with thousands of acres of fertile land and several shops in the city.

But this person says that the family business is cut out bit by bit from the gap between his teeth. He is reluctant to eat and wear, and even his own yard is dug in caves and has no bricks and stones built. Every year during the busy farming season, he takes the whole family and the young and old to work together, and hires a few short-term workers to avoid.

Such a person actually gave a cow today. Even a calf is worth at least a thousand dollars. This is not a matter of cutting the flesh.

"When did Liu Da Nao do something to suffer? Li Sanlang came back and made his family prosperous in such a short time. I will definitely not know what kind of active fire will be like in the future. The Li family is now Sanlang, and there is only one girl in the family. He is also a sister from the same mother. I heard that the relationship is very good."

Someone immediately said, "Is it because Liu Daming wants to hit someone's girl?"

"No, Liu Dada has earned such a big family business, but his offspring is not prosperous. He has given birth to several sons before and after, but he all died prematurely. Now there is no son in the family, only one grandson, and he is born weak in body. In terms of age, it seems that he is almost fifteen."

"Then Liu Da Nao probably wanted to propose marriage to his sick grandson and Li Xiao's sister. If the two families marry, they would be considered a match."

"The Li family has been passed down for more than a hundred years. At most, the Liu family is nouveau riche, so how can they be a good match? If you want to say that the portals are equal, I think our family is similar to the Li family." A landlord also thought that the Li family is popular now. If the Li family can marry the Li family, it would be really good.

"Then the gift you gave today is not enough. I'm not enough to give two ducks. Hurry up and take the lead in the big bull."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

In the hall, Li Xiao welcomed and saw him off.

Those who come are all guests, and they are all neighbors and fellow villagers. Even if everyone is just icing on the cake, since people are still bringing gifts, they have to greet each other with a smile. If you live in this place in the future, you will definitely have more opportunities to get in touch, and it is necessary to have a better relationship.

However, what made Li Xiao unhappy was that many people came here, and they all brought a young man. After three sentences, they began to praise his children in a roundabout way for how excellent they were. They all expressed their intention of marrying the Li family.

Sanniang is thirteen years old this year. She is actually very young, but for Tangren, she is not young anymore. Tangren’s standards for adulthood are actually very simple. As long as Tiankui comes, that is, her aunt comes, she is considered an adult woman, because she means that the woman has the ability to get pregnant and have children.

If you can have children, of course you will be an adult woman, so you can get married naturally.

Li Xiao couldn't bear to let his girl marry so early, she was only thirteen. After suffering for several years, he was too late to spoil her now, so how could he marry out early, let alone who those who intend to propose marriage are the ones who are interested in marriage?

They are all children who have not grown up in the countryside. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, they are still a big child. Can Li Xiao rest assured to marry Sanniang to them?

"My sister is really too young. She has suffered a lot in recent years and has lacked discipline. Now that I am back, I must teach her well and make her a good woman who can leave the hall and go to the kitchen. At least in three years, she will be able to choose someone for her at that time."

Li Xiao said politely to Liu Dadizhu sitting opposite him. Liu Dadizhu had a big head, in his early sixties, but his body was strong and burly, with a red face. However, the grandson he brought was like bean sprouts and was weak, so Li Xiao certainly looked down on such a child.

"That cow is so expensive. Please forgive me for not daring to accept it. Please ask Uncle Liu to take it back later." Li Xiao said. In the countryside, it is indeed a bit expensive to make a gift.

Liu Dada heard Li Xiao’s refusal, but he was not annoyed. He waved his hand generously, "I think it's a bad idea. My Huizu is a little weaker and has never seen any world. It's normal that Sanlang doesn't look down on it. But it doesn't matter. We are all fellow villagers, and we have to walk around more in the future. You also know that in addition to the land at home, I also run a cattle and horse store, selling cattle, horse, donkey and mule to earn some subsidies for the family income. A calf is nothing."

"Sanlang is now revitalizing his family business, and now he has almost a thousand acres of land. His life will definitely be getting better and better in the future. If his family plans to add some cattle and horses in the future, come to see the old uncle directly, and the old uncle will definitely give you a discount."

"Thank you, uncle. When it comes to this, I'm really a little moved. If I can add a few cows, it's really good. I'll go to my uncle's store to take a look."

"Okay, no problem."

Liu Da's head was very happy. Before Li Xiao could serve tea to see him off, he got up by himself.

"Sanlang, I won't disturb you much. You have many customers. But I just heard that your yard now has a home school. There are specialists and thirty students. I was surprised when I heard that. Young people have courage. My uncle has suffered from illiteracy in his life. I used to send my Jiahuizu to study very early, and I attached it to his uncle. This child is always bullied and cannot be famous after reading it. I think your school is very good and is close to home. My uncle has a reluctant invitation. I wonder if Sanlang can let my Jiahuizu go to your school to attach it to you?"

"Don't worry, the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the tuition fees for the sambat and 100 kilograms of bacon and dried fish every year?"

Li Xiao was surprised, but he didn't expect that Lao Liu would make such a request.

I want my children from my family to come to the school, this is the first person to make such a request, and it is not an exaggeration.

After all, there are not many landlords in the country who are able to run a private school and study at home. Many landlords send their children to their families to the homes of relatives who have racial studies.

The attached school also needs to pay some money, mainly depends on the other person's feelings.

Lao Liu used to ask his grandson to accompany his wife's family to study in the clan school of his wife's parents' family and study far away in Chang'an. That clan school was okay, but his grandson was bullied there. It was also very common for relatives and children in Chang'an City to look down on the small landlords in the countryside.

The Li family’s school now has about 30 children, and there are many people coming. Fortunately, there are full-time Mr. Yang Dayan, Mr. Zhao, and Li Xiao in the school, and sometimes they can make a part-time guest appearance, but there is no situation where they can’t discipline them.

"Huizu is fifteen years old this year. How many years have he studied in Chang'an Affiliated School? What books have he read?" Li Xiao asked.

Liu Huizu was a little shy and replied in a low voice that he had been studying in Chang'an for five years, but he didn't read it for long every year, and often went back to the countryside to hide from his body. In fact, he didn't read much, but the main reason was that the clan's learning style was not very good. He was a group of merchants and lacked discipline. It was said that studying was just a place where their family restricted the younger children to teach some rules.

After reading it for five years, Liu Huizu only learned the book "Thousand Characters" in Mongolian, and he had not yet learned much about the other nine Confucian classics.

"Uncle Liu really wants Huizu to come to this school, but if he comes to study, he has to follow my rules. It is impossible to fish for three days and dry the net for two days. Don't think that you will always go home. Food and accommodation are with me, and don't think that you can eat poorly and sleep well. There will be strict urging teachers to supervise your studies in your studies, and there will even be physical exercise courses. Morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetics must be fully cultivated. If you can't endure this hardship, it's better not to come."

When Liu Daming heard this, he smiled and said, "I like such strictness. I have to endure hardships in studying. Where can I not endure hardships? When I was an apprentice, I suffered more and more. When Sanlang said this, I am increasingly deciding to send this child to the attached school."

"Today I will leave Huizu, and tomorrow I will personally send the tuition and tuition fees. One hundred kilograms of bacon and a calf, and I will make up for it."

Li Xiao laughed at Liu Da's impatient attitude, "Why didn't the teacher ask Huizu what he thought first? Besides, even if we come to the attached school, we wouldn't be able to charge so much training and tuition fees."
