father and son 3

The shallow moonlight fluttered over the courtyard.

The crooked Emei moon hangs in the sky like a thin silver hook, so its light cannot be clear.

But at this moment, the glow spread here just right.

Unknown or dark.

Neither thick nor light.

Just like the father and son sitting here at this time, there is still some distance between each other, but the words between each other have gradually become casual.

Just like this pot of tea that has already been drunk.

Without the bitterness of the tea head, and without the strong aroma of the tea, it is a little bland, but it is just right for quenching thirst.

The early summer wind blew the bright red lantern, making the light a little hazy, and also made the expression on Li Wenhan's face cloudy and uncertain.

His expression was still tense.

He looked at Li Chenan with eyes full of anticipation.

But at this moment, the corner of Li Chenan's mouth curled up, and he said something that disappointed him a little.

"Reading... Actually, I'm really not that material."

"I really can't memorize the Three Character Classic, let alone the Four Books and Five Classics."

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you, but let me think about it... I am born to be useful. Although I can't read well, I can still do something else."

"Like doing business!"

When Li Chenan said these words, his tone was still as calm as the moonlight, but Li Wenhan did not directly deny it as before.

He picked up the teacup and pondered for a moment, still unwilling.

I thought to myself that this child can write poems that can enter "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian", how could it be possible that he can't even recite the Three Character Classic?

He said so, I am afraid it is also a resistance to his own actions.

In his heart, reading is the only future!

nothing else.

"You are an adult now, logically, logically, as a father, you should not say anything more."

"It's just that in the current society, the identity of a scholar is still higher than that of a businessman."

He put down the teacup, and said earnestly, "The so-called everything is inferior, but the only ones who are high-ranking are scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars. Scholars are always ranked first."

"Actually, I'm telling you this, not because my father really wants you to make the lintel of the third house of our Li family bigger and brighter, and it's not to compete with the other two houses, but for your own good!"

"After all, only when you become an official can you have the opportunity to seal your wife and son and be admired by all people."

Li Chenan listened very seriously, just like in his previous life when he was a child in the countryside, his father and his childhood self had said similar things.

It's just that the father's words were more direct——

If you want to get out of the farm, if you don't want to survive this kind of hard life with your face on the loess and your back to the sky, then study hard!

Otherwise... let me come back to herd cattle and pigs!

The reasoning is the same, but Li Chen'an in his previous life was really afraid of that kind of hard life, so he really went all out to study, and then walked out of the endless mountain.

But now, he really can't take the exam!

"Father is very thoughtful, but now the wine-making workshop is almost completed, and the arrow has to be fired."

Li Chenan decided not to entangle this topic with his father anymore, he said again

"A lot of money has been invested. If you don't want it, the loss will be immeasurable. Therefore, wine making is the most urgent thing to do right now."

"Think about it. If you want, you can move to the wine shop and wait for a while...I'm afraid it will be a bit long. You can move back when the weather calms down."

"how?"

This is the son's stubbornness!

Why...!

Li Wenhan sighed deeply in his heart, thinking that his son could come back, and he could sit here and talk to himself calmly, which seemed to be enough.

Why do I have to force myself so much!

"The strength of the Huo family in Guangling is not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"Huo Baiyang was a classmate of my father's in the past. This man is scheming and very good at making money. Therefore, he is only thirty-six now, but he has been an official in Zhan Shi's mansion, and he has become a close minister of the prince."

"In addition... his wife is the daughter of Zuo Bifu, the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Zuo family is also quite powerful, not in Yujing City, but in Yingzhou in the north."

"The Huo family now has forty-eight males, twelve of whom live in temples, and they are all officials in various places, such as Huo Chuanming, the general judge of our Guangling City, Huo Guang, the magistrate of Huyin County, and Huo Gang, the magistrate of Yixian County. etc."

"The Huo family is a good example of being a businessman and being good at being an official. Now, your wine is better than the Huo family's... This conflict is bound to be severe... To solve this situation, I will write a letter for my father and give it to your second uncle. "

"If your second uncle is willing to help you, it will be fine if you think about it."

Li Chen'an thought about it, now the other two households of the Li family have lived in the capital for a long time, and they haven't even exchanged letters with the third household.

There must be something that happened that I didn't know about, otherwise, in this society with a strong sense of clan, people of the same clan should have been twisted together.

My current father is also a proud person, but for these things of his own, the first thing he thinks of is to ask his second uncle Li Wenhou for help.

Coupled with his understanding of the Huo family, this father is not good at inquiring about those news in his memory, which is enough to show that his father knows what he is doing now, and has even been worried about it for a long time.

Li Wenhan's words once again touched a string in Li Chenan's heart.

"I can handle this by myself."

"Prefect Liu? Prefect Liu can help you a bit, but, prefect Liu's foundation is too shallow."

"If the Huo family can't do anything to you in Guangling City because of Liu Zhifu's reasons, then Huo Baiyang from the capital will definitely intervene. At that time... I am afraid that Liu Zhifu will not be able to protect himself!"

"This matter is still arranged by my father, I will write a letter for my father, and send it to your second uncle immediately!"

"As for moving to your workshop... just let your mother and your sister go there for now."

After saying this, Li Wenhan got up and left.

Li Chen'an didn't stop him, firstly it was his father's wish, and secondly, he really wanted to see if there was any brotherhood between the uncle, the second uncle and the third room.

As for the father's decision to stay, it is quite understandable, after all, he still has a concubine living in the west courtyard.

Based on his relationship with that concubine, he certainly knew that he would not take that concubine to the winery.

After a stick of incense, Li Wenhan came back again.

When he came back, he walked quite fast, and his body was much straighter than before.

"I will send this letter early in the morning as my father, and I will receive your second uncle's reply in about twenty days."

Li Wenhan sat down, but there was no relaxed expression on his face. He still forced a smile and asked, "Tomorrow there will be a Dragon Boat Festival, and Zhang Yuanzheng from the Light Ink Academy invited you for my father. May I participate?"

Li Chenan shook his head, "I really have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I won't go."

"this..."

A look of disappointment appeared on Li Wenhan's face, how much he hoped that his son could make a name for himself in tomorrow's literary fair!

In this way, the entire Guangling City should know how talented his son is, and should know that this son is not a fool, but a true learned man!

"All right,"

"This family...you are always the eldest son of the third bedroom of the Li family. If you wish, this family is still yours. You can come back anytime!"
