Chapter 62: The Gift Storm

It was late at night when he returned to Li Wen Village, and Li Yanqing had just arrived at the entrance of the village, but he saw a thin figure standing on the side of the road, holding a big dog in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yanqing's heart was hot, so he asked from afar: "Magpie, is it you?" ”

"Little official, it's me!" The magpie ran up, and the big black beside her ran for her master.

Li Yanqing jumped off the donkey, affectionately touched the big black with his long mouth almost reaching his nose, and asked the magpie with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"Da Hei is coming to pick you up, so I'll take it with me."

"What a good boy!" Li Yanqing hugged Da Hei lovingly and rewarded him with a bun, and Da Hei wagged his tail in front to show them the way.

"Uncle Zhong said that the petty officials will live in the county seat tonight, and I said that the petty officials are going to take the imperial examination, and they will definitely rush back to write."

"Yes! The master only gave one day off, and if he didn't go to the school tomorrow, he would be whipped. ”

Li Yanqing finished the last book today, as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and under the breeze of the spring night, his mood was extremely happy, and he talked a little more.

"It's going to be the Spring Club in a few days, I'll give you a day off, and you go home and have a good time."

"I.... I made an appointment with Tao to go and play together. ”

Ah Tao is the little maid of Li Er's family, and she has not been buying it for a few months, but she didn't expect them to play together, Li Yanqing no longer forced her, smiled and said: "Anyway, I will give you a day off, and you can decide how to play for yourself." ”

The magpie was happy in his heart, and hurriedly gave a blessing, "Thank you, little official!" ”

........

It is the tradition of students in the north of the Great Song Dynasty to give gifts and thanksgiving to the master on the day of the society, and the gift is not whether it is expensive or not, but in the heart.

There are still two days before the day of the society, Yao Ding's study is full of gifts from students, although this is the case every year, but Yao Ding is still very happy, from the gifts, he can feel the children's friendship for him.

Although there are many gifts, Yao Ding also wants to give the students a return gift, he has been so busy for the past two days that he can't stop for a moment, and he has to write dozens of words every day, for the students, there is nothing more exciting than the encouragement of the master.

In the room, Yao Ding was immersed in writing, and there was the laughter of the students outside, and it was noon, Yao Ding did not take a nap for the first time, but at this time, Li Daguang appeared at the door, and asked with a smile on his face: "Is Master Yao very busy?" ”

Yao Ding pointed to the gifts in the room with a pen, and said with a smile: "There are so many gifts, I have to write back gifts for the students, how can I not be busy?" ”

"I also received a lot of gifts, but I didn't know how to return them, and I was very panicked."

Li Daguang was attracted by the big green donkey tied to the door, it was a gift from Wang Gui to the master, which caused a sensation in the entire school, as conspicuous as it should be, Li Daguang's eyes were red with jealousy, this big green donkey was worth at least fifteen yuan!

As he spoke, he looked at the gifts given to Yao Ding by the students, and quickly estimated them in his heart, only feeling that each one was more valuable than his gifts.

He picked up a fine and soft green cloth, and sighed in his heart, this is the high-grade cotton cloth of Fuzhou, this one will be sold for at least three times, and he just lacks a spring shirt, why does no one give it to him?

At this time, Li Daguang suddenly saw a beautiful black lacquered wooden box next to him, with vermilion painted on the edge, he was stunned for a moment, could this be Jiuzhitang's.......

He hurriedly picked it up, and the mark on it was indeed the Four Treasures of the Study Room of Jiuzhitang in the capital, he had seen it in Anyang County, with a price tag of ten times, and then looked at the following, he was even more shocked, it was actually a gift from Li Yanqing to the master.

Li Daguang only felt that there was sour water in his stomach, Li Yanqing was his cousin, and he gave such an expensive gift to his master, but he didn't give anything to himself, this.... It's just ridiculous.

"Master Yao, look at this ......"

He began to play with the idea of these gifts, and he was embarrassed to ask for the donkey, but this green cloth or this box of four treasures of the study, he hoped that Yao Ding could give him one.

Unexpectedly, Yao Ding came over and unceremoniously snatched away the four treasures of the study in his hand, "Every gift is my most precious thing, I will not give it away, if Master Li is interested, I will give you a word!" ”

"Then there is no need, by the way, I want to discuss with Master Yao about the arrangements for the Spring Society's holiday."

Yao Ding's eyes rolled, "What is there to discuss, it's the same as last year, except for the twenty or so people who are preparing for the county school exam, I will arrange it, and Master Li will watch and handle the rest!" ”

"I understand, then I'll arrange it."

Li Daguang stared at the four treasures of the study and the green cloth fiercely, and he couldn't wait for a pair of hands to grow in his eyes and snatch them all away, the loss brought dissatisfaction, and a trace of anger ignited in his heart, he must go to Li Yanqing to settle accounts, since he has the money to buy such expensive things for his master, why don't he buy something for himself?

........

Li Yanqing met the menacing Li Daguang by the wall of the school, "Qing'er, I have something to look for you!" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at him strangely, then turned around and glanced at Wang Gui and Tang Huai, the two of them understood, and immediately left in a circle, but they didn't go far, standing more than a dozen steps away and looking at their uncle and nephew.

"Is there anything wrong with the fourth uncle?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

Li Daguang restrained the anger in his heart and questioned Li Yanqing, "Let me ask you, what is there about the fourth uncle who can't stand you?" ”

"What does Fourth Uncle mean by this, did Yanqing do something wrong?"

Li Yanqing felt strange in his heart, the fourth uncle looked embarrassed and angry, where did he offend him?

"Humph! I'm your fourth uncle, I saw the social day, but my desk was empty, shouldn't I say something as a student? ”

It turned out that Li Yanqing laughed because of this, "The fourth uncle is too exaggerated, I see a lot of things in the fourth uncle's room!" There are at least dozens of things to eat, how can they be empty? ”

Li Daguang stretched his face and said coldly: "But I don't have a donkey tied to my door, I don't have a good green cloth on my desk, and I don't have the four treasures of Jiuzhitang's study, Qing'er, the fourth uncle is panicked!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled unhurriedly: "I can understand the fourth uncle's mood, but the fourth uncle's heart should be relaxed, Master Yao told us that when he first entered the school as a master, he only received half a bag of beans on the day of the society, he was very happy, there are still students who remember him, in comparison, the fourth uncle is much stronger than Master Yao, the nephew believes that in another twenty years, the person tied to the door of the fourth uncle will never be a donkey, but a horse, the fourth uncle must believe in himself, but don't be discouraged!" ”

"You-"

Li Daguang was so choked by Li Yanqing that he couldn't say a word, Li Yanqing saluted him, "The fourth uncle is busy, so my nephew won't bother!" ”

Li Yanqing turned around and walked away, Li Daguang looked at Li Yanqing's back, his teeth clenched, "Little rabbit, I'll go find your father to settle accounts!" ”

.......

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the students have no intention of going to school, and the students' eyes are attracted by the lively festive atmosphere every day.

Although the Spring Society is said to be the second day of February, it began to prepare as early as a few days ago, and more than a dozen large sheds were erected in the open space in front of the temple, and the Baozheng people began to carefully decorate the community sheds in their villages with young men and women.

You bring ten jars of old wine, I carry three fat pigs, you sprinkle flower petals on the roof of the shed, I tie willow branches on the pillars of the shed, there are many tricks, and the competition is fierce.

The drums of the community are beating loudly, the trumpets are blowing loudly, the land god is dressed in the official uniform of the seven grades, and a basket of paper candles and incense wax has also moved to the front of the temple of the community, and the most lively is all kinds of small stalls and vendors, just like the large and small mushrooms that grow in the grass after a spring rain, occupying every vacant land in Lushan Town.

On the second day of the second month of February, Lushan School had a day off, but the more than 20 scholars who were preparing for the exam did not have such good luck, "Three more days will be the county exam, and no one should think about the Spring Club today!" ”

Master Yao Ding's bamboo whip made the table crackle, and the White Tiger Hall was shrouded in gloomy clouds.

"This year's Spring Society, we're finished!"

At noon, when the master went out to the thatched house, Li Er shouted a wail, which immediately resonated with everyone, even Li Yanqing felt that the master did not need to be so strict, anyway, everyone's mind was not in the school, and they couldn't learn anything, why didn't they let everyone go out to play?

There was a rumbling drum in the distance, gongs and drums, this is the beginning of the social drama, everyone panicked, at this time, Wang Gui couldn't help but shout: "Let's go negotiate with Master!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yao Ding walked in with a bamboo whip and a gloomy face, "What do you want to talk to me about?" ”

The students were suddenly silent, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to say anything, but Li Yanqing raised his hand and said, "Master, we are willing to stay tomorrow night to make up for the class, and I implore Master to give us half a day off today." ”

With Li Yanqing taking the lead, everyone pleaded: "Master, let us take half a day off!" We are willing to make up the class tomorrow night. ”

Yao Ding looked at a pair of pleading eyes, and his heart softened a little, "Okay! Tomorrow night to make up the lessons, now after school. ”

Student's 'Wow! With a cheer, he rushed out of the school room at an unprecedented speed.

Yao Ding pointed at Li Yanqing with a bamboo whip, "Wait a minute!" ”

The students looked at Li Yanqing sympathetically, and it really didn't end well when they took the lead, and Brother Qing was going to be beaten.

"What else does Master command?" Li Yanqing stood in front of the master with his hands down.

Yao Ding said with a straight face: "Your father asked someone to bring you a message, and if your grandfather wants you to go on a blind date, let you not think about it for the time being." ”

The students hiding outside the door burst into laughter and ran away, hearing them shouting at the top of their voices from afar, "Great news, Brother Qing is going on a blind date!" ”

Li Yanqing's face was hot, and he complained a little bit about the master in his heart, why don't you say this kind of thing in private, it has to be known to the whole school, and Master Yao Ding finally couldn't help it, raised his head and left with a smile.

As soon as the master left, Wang Gui and Tang Huai rushed in, and the two of them squeezed their eyebrows and smiled: "Lao Li, congratulations, congratulations, when will the wedding cake be distributed?" ”

Li Yanqing was so angry that he smacked them on the head, "Congratulations, I'm inexplicable, what kind of blind date are you?" ”

Wang Gui covered his head and smiled: "Don't be embarrassed! You can ask Lao Tang for this kind of blind date, he is experienced, and he has been on a blind date more than once. ”

Tang Huai's face was flushed, and he was so angry that he pinched Wang Gui's neck from behind, "You promised me not to say it, strangle you stinky boy!" ”

"Huh! It turns out that Lao Tang went on a blind date, when did it happen? ”

Li Yanqing immediately shifted the battlefield, and asked Tang Huaidao with a hippie smile: "Come and listen, which little lady is it, has you talked about marriage?" ”

Tang Huai knocked on Li Yanqing's head with a folding fan, "Everyone is talking about you!" Don't get involved with me. ”

At this time, the drum beat again, only to hear Yue Fei anxiously urging outside, "Let's go!" ”

Wang Gui's face changed, "Oops! The social drama is coming to an end. ”

They didn't care about talking about blind dates, and ran out of the school in a panic.
