Chapter 33 From top to bottom
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Su Ye agreed very much, "I think Jiu Niangzi is right, this is lying."
"My mother-in-law loves my sister so much. If she knew that she didn't eat her favorite salty brown rice, she would be so sad that she would cry. I'm so sad that I'm going to die now." Li Xia continued.
"Sixth Lady, I think Ninth Lady is right. Sixth Lady is not showing consideration for others by acting like this. She is causing trouble for the master and his wife." Su Ye sat sideways next to the two of them.
Li Xia kept nodding, she really liked Su Ye so much!
"And I, I feel very uncomfortable too, I feel so uncomfortable! There is also the fifth brother, the fifth brother feels even worse, and the sixth brother, the sixth brother feels the most uncomfortable, everyone feels sorry for my sister, everyone feels uncomfortable, Su Ye also feels uncomfortable, right?
Su Ye?"
"Ninth Lady is right, Sixth Lady, you need to change your temper, think about others, put yourself in other people's shoes and think about it. If Nine Lady is like Sixth Lady, will Sixth Lady feel uncomfortable?"
Li Xia almost wanted to applaud Su Ye. She knew that Su Ye was sensible, but she didn't expect that she would be so sensible now.
Li Dong's face turned a little pale, and he forced a smile and said, "Look at you two...I know."

When Li Wenshan knocked on the door and entered Magistrate Li's study, Magistrate Li's face was still depressed.
"It's not going well in the Yamen today?" Li Wenshan looked at his father with concern on his face. Magistrate Li managed to cheer up, shook his head and said with a smile: "There are two masters in the Yamen, what can happen? It's...last night
Didn’t sleep well.”
County Magistrate Li made a random excuse to prevaricate, and then quickly changed his words, "The director of Wansong Academy, Gu Shanzhang, and those gentlemen are all knowledgeable people. There are only a few days until the exam. Why did you run out again if you don't concentrate on your studies?"
?”
"I came to see my dad just because of my studies." Li Wenshan said with a smile: "My son has been confused a lot about his reading and writing these days. The more he reads, the more he reads. Some parts are simply unreadable. My son
I think I still need to find a gentleman to guide me."
"Why don't you come and ask me?"
"I've been looking for my father several times," Li Wenshan said with a distressed look on his face. "How can I talk to my father? If he's not talking to the county captain, he's talking to the two masters on official business, or going out to check on farm work.
Yes, there are also cases being tried, so we can’t interrupt them. Dad is really too busy."
County Magistrate Li nodded, that was indeed the case. He was busy in the yamen all day long, and often didn't even have time for An Ansheng to have a cup of tea. Where could he find the gentleman who might give advice to his son? In a small county like Hengshan, even
There is no one in the city, so go to Hangzhou to look for it? There must be some in Hangzhou, but he is not familiar with it...
"Dad, when I was in Jiangning Mansion, I heard from Brother Song of my uncle's family that there was a Mr. Qin in their family. His knowledge and conduct were very good. Even the elders praised him. Song Geer also said that Mr. Qin
I yearn for the wonderful scenery in Hangzhou, and I want to live in Hangzhou for a while. Brother Song also asked me to take care of Mr. Qin. How about I ask Brother Song to see if Mr. Qin has come to Hangzhou?
If he is still in Hangzhou, I will ask him to stay in Hengshan County for a few days and ask for advice. When I am admitted to Wansong Academy, if he is still in Hangzhou, I will continue to ask him for advice. What do you think?"
Li Wenshan thought about these words again and again. Magistrate Li frowned and said nothing. He knew this Mr. Qin. He had been on good terms with the boss twenty years ago and was one of the most useful staff around the boss.
People, not only have excellent knowledge, but also have good scheming skills...
"This Mr. Qin is an old member of the uncle's family. Your uncle relies heavily on him. He is a man who does important things. How can he have time to teach you?" Magistrate Li shook his head.
"You will know if you are willing to give it a try." Li Wenshan heard something and immediately hit the snake and stuck it on the stick, "I think it is like this. Dad just pretends that he doesn't know about this. I will write to Brother Song,
If you’re willing, you’re willing, and if you’re not willing, you’re not willing! Anyway, I don’t know, so what do you think?”
County Magistrate Li frowned and relaxed, relaxed and frowned again. His son's academic studies and future in the imperial examination are the most important things... After hesitating for a moment, County Magistrate Li nodded and said: "Don't say too much, just ask casually."
Just ask, since he asked you to take care of him, it is also polite for you to ask."
"Don't worry, Dad!" Li Wenshan smiled broadly.

Mrs. Zhong had been ill for two days, but she recovered on her own when she saw that Magistrate Li would not vomit. In the evening, she left the county government house and went to Yadong Lane to talk to Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang's nephew, Yang Da, and his daughter-in-law were running a small food stall to support the family. They had just returned from closing the stall and saw Mrs. Zhong coming. Yang Da hurriedly dropped what he was doing and went out to buy wine and food. Yang Da's wife opened the fire and started cooking.
I ordered a few dishes and put them in Mrs. Yang's room in the side room.
Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Yang both had very good drinking abilities, and the jar of wine quickly ran out. Mrs. Yang took out the money and asked Yang Da to buy another big jar.
"... If I hadn't broken my heart, how could this family be here today? Isn't this what I am doing for this family? For their... bastards named Li! They are full of wolf-hearted people." Old Mrs. Zhong was in a bad mood.
He drank heavily and soon he was almost drunk. He stopped complaining and started cursing non-stop.
Mrs. Yang poured her another glass of wine and followed her words and persuaded her: "No matter how you didn't give birth to her, and people's hearts are so far apart, you still have to make more plans for yourself. You have to rely on it, but you can't rely entirely on it."
"I treat him as my own son!" Old Mrs. Zhong complained and scolded, "I'm doing this all for his own good! His family is good! Something, if it weren't for me... uh... something... I'll tell you
! I can’t let him do anything about such a good thing. I have the final say in this family! Such a good opportunity...can he let him go?"
Mrs. Zhong patted the table, and Mrs. Yang hurriedly moved the cup inside to prevent it from falling and breaking. "Old sister, let me tell you, don't be upset. From my point of view, this marriage... is not even a marriage, but it is."
How about your sister Dong? She is a serious official's wife, and she has a prince's family behind her, as well as an uncle who is a high-ranking official. It's not like she can't find a good match..."
"You know nothing!" Mrs. Zhong spat fiercely on the ground, "Then the Hou Mansion has already cut off contact with them! From now on..." Mrs. Zhong moved closer to Mrs. Yang, "I'll tell you
You are a fool, have I told you? My body deed is still in the hands of that old and evil old woman, and this old woman... uh! I am a slave!"
Mrs. Zhong burped with wine, and Mrs. Yang hurriedly gave her more wine.
"You can't be on the table! I'm telling you, you don't understand the rules of this noble family! The first one, the difference between up and down, is beyond the pale! When I was in the Marquis' Mansion... there were a bunch of bastards, and I didn't even have a meal.
